Ive read books about this and articles about this. The fact is Mick has had over 10 bankruptcies, 5 divorces, 6 wives kids wuth many different women and mick knows how t piss $$$$$ away. Mick admist " I love to spend $" Lindsey in the meantime, has the largest net worth of all the band menmbers according to forbes, Lindsey is worth over $100 million . Why? Lindsey has always been smart with his $$$. he saves and invests it , doesnt piss it away like Mick does. Lindsey and his wife have built together a very large real estate empire all over california . Mick has to tour constantly to feed the machine, thats his spending habits and blowing $$ away, meantime Lindsey has worked his ass off in the studio for over 45 years for this band crafting the albums that gave Mick and the others all this $$$$$ and there seems to be a lot of resentment towards lindsey for his success. Plus he has the happpiest family life of them all. Stevie and chris have no family, mick has more ex wives than trump , and John has just 1 daugher all grown up and hes been married for years,. So overall, Lindsey has the best personal life of them all, an I think thats a sore spot. I think Theres a lot of resentment towards lindsey for all his success inside and outside the band with his real estate empire. Mick has to tout until he dies because the way he pisses $$$ away, he cant survive more than 6 months with out it. Lindsey in the m,eantime, frankly doesnt need to tour ever again, he only does it because he enjoys it and he appreciates his fans. This coupled with stevie wanting mike campbell in there because of petty, I think it was a combination of all these things buildig over time, plus Lindsey wants new music, stevie doesnt. Lindsey and chri had a good record last year and he wants to do more new fleetwood mac music, the rest of them except for Chris and lindsey dont want new music. lindsey is very artistic. and I think lindsey wanted some of that new music on the tour for the mac, and the group declined that. I just think its a combination of things really. But the common denominator is causing all this trouble is Mick and stevie.

When the 80s came, that music didn't replace the prior years' music, just got added into the rotation.

They need to create something fresh and relevant, but I'm not sure they can do that anymore. It's sad.

There's some crazy relationship politics going on in this performance. Either they chose "The Chain" to perform without Buckingham as a statement to him, or they chose it without thinking and have really stepped on the memory of the song. Neither is really a great message to take. Sad days.
@GregorySpikeMD5 жыл бұрын
It's always their live opener, for a reason. It's a great song, and a song that thrives under young audiences. Don't think it's politic tbh. It's also all of them were involved in writing, so it makes sense to play this song, and not one that Lindsey was heavily involved in, right?
