      I know some things of which for privacy respect I would never divulge, however, this I can say about Geminis; they have two completely and diametrically opposed sides. Note that I'm not saying two faces, but sides. In Stevie's case, she can hate you, love you, hate you again and turn around and love you. The kicker is that, regardless of which side she is allowing to surface, she's completely sincere and truthful. Further more, she is completely devoid of ego. Everything she has done and is doing, it's all heart and soul induced.
      What was done to Lyndsey is not correct in any shape or form. I hope Stevie comes to her senses and repairs that tear in Fleetwood Mac... before is too late.

    • @Caroline-ms3kh
      @Caroline-ms3kh Před 25 dny

      The US legal system went strongly with Lindsey, so there is that. If there had been any genuine reason to boot Lindsey from the band other than a certain someone being a diva, it would have come out. Stevie's and Mick's stories have changed and conflict, while Lindsey's version of events has remained consistent. This is now also backed up by both Neil Finn's and Mike Campbell's recent accounts ... Mike claims Stevie lied to him that Lindsey left the band of his own accord - he signed the contract to tour then found out what happened. Neil said Mick Fleetwood told him they'd "got rid of Lindsey". Neil also said Stevie was quite difficult towards Mike because she wanted him to play like Lindsey and he of course plays in his own way.
      Conclusion - take anything Mick or Stevie says with a pinch of salt.

Fast forward 40 years, Stevie is unmarried and has no children and Lindsey has been married for 20 years and has 3 kids. For 2 people that have spent their entire adult lives competing with one another, that's a constant reminder of "what she had, and what she lost."

Stevie and Mick remain best friends despite their romantic past, some people just do not have it in them to do that and LB is one of them. He’s an extremely passionate person which is evident from his musicianship.

      LOADED STATEMENT. Nothing short of it. I believe I know EXACTLY where you're coming from with this comment. BEYOND talent. Actually, the whole group is guilty of this. One of the main reasons why I never liked the group in the beginning was due to Stevie. I couldn't stand seeing her. It seemed that the radio only played certain songs from this group till they were overplayed.
      The history of this group is interesting as well. This group was not on anyone's radar until Lindsey came on board. What happened there was phenomenal. I believe they recorded this album when they were experiencing quarrels with BOTH of their relationships. In other words, this album is the product of their "venting".
      Another thing fascinating to me is that Lindsey doesn't play with a pick. Unbelievable.

      @doso don But Lindsey never stated he knew for sure that this was the reason for stevies behavior, he even admitted that he was just speculating on this and does not really know. It is very natural for someone to speculate on all kinds of personal issues when someone who is supposedly a friend fires you from the band. I do not know why stevie did this but I am trying to listen to all sides. Maybe a low blow, or maybe he was just honestly speculating on stevies behavior. After all, he was being questioned about it, repeatedly.

    Their last tours should of consisted of Mick, John, Christine , Stevie and Lindsey. The 5 of them together were phenomenal and had a magic noone else could replace. It's a pity they could not have worked through their differences but it was probably too difficult for them all when there was still hostility between Stevie and Lindsey. I'm just sad we'll never get to see them all perform again with Christine 😢 God rest her beautiful soul ➕💜➕

So, she had her chance and they didn't want it. Stevie was also married briefly to her deceased friends husband. They made their choices. One thing I didn't hear was Lindsey saying he was happy in his role as husband and father.

Believe me, at concert #1, for me, Stevie was knockout beautiful! Stevie's success doesn't depend at all on her looks though she's always had that. Her professional clout stems from her being a reliable singer-song writer and hit machine. All other things said about her, positive or negative, are incidental. She's an incredible talent.

    And we feel doomed and sabotage ourselves when we feel it’s coming down the pike. Life is too short. I hope that they can patch up their bygones and learn that it is better to have once loved than to never have loved at all.

    fm isn't the same without lindsey buckingham. takes 2 guitarists to replace him. in a podcast with conan o'brien lindsey says that he took command of the band during their FIRST practice since none of the original fm members wouldn't.

    If people think she doesn't have a jealous bone in her body then they must think she's not a human. I feel sorry for her. I know she doesn't need pity but I'm sure she would take back some things if she could.

    So many people backing up stevie and I understand she's a huge part of the band but let's not forget how she got where she is in the first place. Without Lindsey having a say in stevie's inclusion who knows what shed be up to.

      I have a feeling she would be a successful solo artist . She never needed Lindsey. Some vocalists just have that presence on stage that fans connect to. Stevie always had that quality.

    Regardless of the circumstances that led to his departure from the band, many of us hoped there could be still a chance of seeing them all reunited at least one more time, but now with the recent death of Christine McVie unfortunately we will never get to see Fleetwood Mac´s best line-up ever together again. At least their recordings will survive through time to keep enjoying them, because after all their musical legacy is invaluable.

      ⁠@@georget3953 I think he means that Lindsey had made such an undeniable contribution to the band that it’s no longer the same band without him. Sure, Fleetwood Mac was a good band before Lindsey but he and Stevie included brought that band to whole another level.
