I replied directly to you when I said that I don't believe in "all or nothing". There are more people weighing in on this subject (as the silent votes in the poll show) than are just in this thread. I don't have to talk about you to someone else. I can respond to you, when the comment is just aimed at you.

There isn't a need for anyone to be physically in the studio. And as I said before, since they're all going on the road next fall, they should record new music on the road, just as they did with the 1980 Live album (sound checks and such) or as several of them have done on solo tours.

Why book studio time, Fleetwood Macsters? It's like herding cats. You're going to be with one another for several months touring. Record while you're at.

yes, and the question in the poll was should they wait for Stevie, however long that may take. based on what you say above, your vote should be different from what you cast.

the question in my poll was pretty clear, and the options i provided were written as they were for a reason.

when people vote no, and tell me, but not "however long it takes", or tell me "it won't sell without SN" or my favorite so far since it's so far off the mark - "she's making FM relevant" therefore they should under no circumstances put an album out without her, they negate their vote right there.

and there's your "commercial viability" argument raised by a number of SN fans again. you were asking me why is that relevant to SN fans. i don't know why it is, but they certainly keep bringing it up.

according to these fans none of the struggling new bands should ever record and release an album since they are no "commercially viable" so why bother? warped logic. everybody should forget about BN album too, since it was not commercially viable, it tanked if the oft-repeated story is correct.

because it's always like herding cats with this group of people and nothing happens? plus i'm sure some of the FM members would have yet another higher priority than FM album while on the road . and lastly, nobody likes your another greatest hits plus a couple of new songs suggestion, anyway.

Tusk wasn't commercially viable either. For FM right now, nothing is "commercially" viable except a tour and nobody's arguing that they don't need SN to tour. They obviously do.

I can't even really understand what you mean. Are you saying that they should record the album during sound checks or something? They really don't have any free time to coalesce during the tour.

It's not like the old days when they were all hanging out in that one big dressing room, while on tour, endlessly communing. I don't think they can actually create together on the road -- although they could do so during a break after the first leg.

However, I agree with you that if they have some songs sketched out already, have a basic vocal arrangement and melody for them, that they could actually play them in concert, like in the old days when they did songs live before they were recorded. But we would need a rough draft of those songs to already exist. If they do, perform them in concert first and then release it on a live CD if the band never gets around to formally recording it.
