agreed. Nicks is the secret to the sauce that made them so successful.

Could be some great music, but I kinda wanted a real Fleetwood Mac album. It's weird that they are doing this without Stevie Nicks after all these years. First it was no Lindsey, then no Christine, now no Stevie? Maybe after this they'll gather for one last (?) killer album as a whole band.

It did seem that this is what was going to happen, FM without Nicks and since she hasn't quit (unlike McVie) they can't call it FM...Maybe Nicks has no new songs to bring to the table unlike the other two. Won't be hard to do better than the sprawling and unmemorable "Say You Will" from 2003 although Nicks can't really be blamed for that, in fact she only contributed songs late in the process if memory serves ?
Doesn't make any sense...she was THRILLED that Christine came back, and now she's off doing her own thing.Quote

Will probably be great.
"Initial writing sessions for a new Fleetwood Mac album began nearly three years ago...
but Nicks, who is about to resume an ongoing tour with the Pretenders, has remained occupied".
Bummer...she's become the Robert Plant of Fleetwood Mac.

They don't have a lot of time left...I'd love to see FM one more time.

exactly. I thought it odd too. nicks was making it sound like she'd do a new album only if Christine came back. she did and then nicks doesn't want to it

When I saw them live last year, while introducing Christine and thanking her for being back with the band, they made a point to say "this isn't the end of us!!!".
They talked about writing new tunes together - some of which were already done. Maybe it was Lyndsey who did all the talking though, and he might have been referring to writing solely with Christine...?

When I saw them in 2014, she made it a point to say how great it was to have her "sister" back in the band. It seemed like they were eager to make new music and keep the tour rolling.
I remember reading that making Say You Will wasn't a pleasant experience for Stevie, and that she and Lindsey butted heads as usual. I'm thinking that the never-ending dysfunction and drama between those two is at the root of her reluctance to get back with them to finish an album.
I've heard the same about her recent tour...just okay, nothing more. To be honest, the highlight would be her and Chrissie dueting on Stop Dragging My Heart Around.Quote

Yes this is what I experienced as well...a lovefest amongst all of them!
And to clarify, rather than seeing them 'last year' (as I previously stated), it was actually Nov. and again in April '15.
It's 2017 already, isn't it?
Anyways, I read a review of a recent Stevie Nicks show and evidently it was rather dull, while The Pretenders as openers were great!
Is Stevie going to release new material on her own? If so, and if it's anything like the rest of her solo material, what a letdown.

As long as he's playing guitar and keeps his mouth shut I would agree.
If he talks for too long the California fruit loop from within begins to show.

Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie are about to release an album as a duo. It seems like it started as a Fleetwood Mac album, but you chose not to participate.
I've been on the road [solo] since last September, so I don't understand their premise. Christine was gone [from Fleetwood Mac] for 16 years and came back, did a massive tour, and then it's like, "Now I'm just gonna go back to London and sit in my castle for two years"? She wanted to keep working. I will be back with them at the end of the year for, I think, another tour. I just needed my two years off. Until then, I wish them the best in whatever they do.
Do you want to make a new record with them?
I don't think we'll do another record. If the music business were different, I might feel different. I don't think there's any reason to spend a year and an amazing amount of money on a record that, even if it has great things, isn't going to sell. What we do is go on the road, do a ton of shows and make lots of money. We have a lot of fun. Making a record isn't all that much fun.
