Lol the band needs a kick in the ass anyway.....New line-up might be interesting. Why do we need Nicks and Buckingham forever? I realize it would not be the best move....but.....what the hell? it's been done lots. shake it up!!!!!!!

Without S&L Mick won't make his ten million dollars. Money, that's what he wants. Just give him your money.

A new lineup won't be profitable. Therefore they will wait until Stevie is ready to fly back to the nest. She always does.

It's not the first time I read about Mick being a bad guy because he wants money. Well I'm not sure if money is his only purpose. But if it is, or at least the main reason.. so what? Besides, is Mick the only one who wants money? Do you think the record company, tour organizers, would be excited about a new/unknown Fleetwood Mac lineup?

And.. if Mick get away with it.. Is he the only beneficiary? No.. besides Mick, John, etc, it's Villavic, and all FM fans who can enjoy new Fleetwood Mac material, or at least a new chance to see them on stage. So I don't care if Mick just wants money. But if the group does not reunite again, well I respect that and won't blame on anybody.

I think that teat was already milked when Stevie and Christine announced they would no longer tour with Fleetwood Mac during the Behind the Mask tour. I suspect that when Fleetwood Mac finally calls it a day permanently, they will just disappear, not unlike the way Christine just up and left after The Dance tour. There are too many moving parts with the Fleetwood Mac machine these days to organize a proper sendoff.

I have a hard time accepting that FM at the very least will not do one more cash grab tour in 2013 or 2014! A year ago I would have bet $$ on one more record, but it seems like they passed that bridge sometime last year, around the time Stevie pulled the rug out and decided to continue solo touring to promote In Your Dreams. I wonder if they (Stevie & Lindsey) came to a stand-off about Dave Stewart overseeing production on any recordings.

Who knows with this band! Anything is possible, I would have never guessed in 09' that Stevie would've recorded another solo cd. All I know is time is running out, so they better get their collective asses on the same page, or I'm fine with Stevie & Lindsey just recording more solo material.

I would hate to see the end of Fleetwood Mac. But if this really is the end, I think an album of demos should be released.

It would be nice to have Demos issued officially, rather than us as fans "borrowing them" before sharing, haha.

I think they will, at the very least, do another reasonably large tour with Lindsey, Stevie, Mick and John. Whether they do another album? Well, it's possible that they won't. But then again, who actually thought there would be a new Beach Boys album in 2012? And a tour featuring all of the living original members together? So I wouldn't say the Mac is finished quite yet. Lindsey and Stevie are both quite productive still, and I'm sure they'll both get the itch at the same time again and find a way to make it work.

David · #27 05-12-2012, 11:14 AM

I don't think Lindsey's going to want to do another 2009 tour (where you tell everybody some cockamamie nonsense about wanting to "revisit" your body of work when in reality you couldn't pull a new album together in time).

So unless the band can get back into the studio, I would imagine that future tours are off.

I mean, seriously—what would he say for the Second Unleashed tour? "We have an exemplary body of past work that doesn't overlap with our primary body of past work we happened to share with you in 2009, and we feel it's worthwhile to share this secondary body of past work with our fans."

Actually, if they did perform a secondary body of past work that didn't overlap with the primary body (Rumours) us fans would be ecstatic. We wouldn't consider that tour a money grab at all, if they were doing songs from their backlog that we haven't heard in every concert since the seventies. There'd be no shame in that game. Of course, it would never happen. They'd be revisiting Dreams and GYOW and Don't Stop and the question becomes, how can you visit when they never leave?
