    Christine McVie rejoining Fleetwood Mac

    How funny. There was a thread around here not long ago talking about how she's doing quite well without FM, thank you very much.

    Christine McVie has rejoined Fleetwood Mac, according to Rolling Stone.

    Drummer Mick Fleetwood reportedly told the audience Saturday at Uncle Willie K's BBQ Blues Fest in Maui, "This is the worst kept secret there is, but Christine McVie will be rejoining Fleetwood Mac."

    According to Fleetwood Mac News, he made the announcement after Willie and Fleetwood played an acoustic version of McVie's "Rumours" track "Songbird." The band has yet to release the news formally.

    Last year, McVie performed with the band for the first time in 15 years during two shows of the group's European tour. At the time, singer Stevie Nicks shrugged off the possibility of McVie's return. "I would say there's no more a chance of that happening than an asteroid hitting the earth," she said. "She is done."

    Wrong.

    McVie later told The Guardian, "If they were to ask me I would probably be very delighted ... but it hasn't happened so we'll have to wait and see." About the performance, she said "It was amazing, like I'd never left. I climbed back on there again and there they were, the same old faces on stage."
    I'm holding out for the Wilson-mixed 5.1 super-duper walletbuster special anniversary extra adjectives edition.

    IMO the best lineup included Peter Green.

    Good news! I always liked Christine's voice.

    I'll take the Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kirwan and Bob Welsh incarnations over anything that involves the Arizona croaking toad.

    OTOH, this incarnation just got much better with Christine back.

    Oddly enough, I like both almost equally and they are both so diametrically different that they really should be two different entities with two different band names

    By chance, do you know which London bridge he is living in? Seriously people, can't we just be happy that Christine is back and not have the comments like "the croaking toad"? C'mon, Geez!! You should know better in your old age. Stevie did have a great voice long ago. Hopefully, this bunch can get together and crack out a new album.

    Personally I've always felt they'd suffered from her absence so it's good news. I believe there would be considerably more interest in a full new studio album now (I am aware of that EP, lest I be accused of being 'behind on my Fleetwood Mac news' again!)- it would be the first with this line-up since 'Tango In The Night', nearly 30 years ago now.

    I think that's true. The Bob Welch era was somewhat transitional from one phase to another though.

    I dont miss seeing girls in the Playtex bra that "lift and seperate" into flatness I much prefer "lift, push those puppies together, and Great-Googly-Moogly!" bra of the modern-era

    That is all

    "Should know better?" Should know better than what?

    Why are you always so offended when someone insults a musician, JIF? Lighten up.

    "Old faces" indeed.

    Not meaning to derail, but did anyone catch Stevie Nicks on American Horror Story last week? Doesn't look bad for someone in her 60's (right)?

    Sorry Jordan, but a croaking toad is what it is no matter what the age is of the person who hears the croaking. Some folks enjoy the croaking. I don't.

    Haven't you realized that he's the self-appointed, thin-skinned PE Police with nothing better to do?

    I saw Stevie in AHS last week. I thought she was creepier than Jessica Lange

    Should be pretty cool, except for the ticket prices.

    Who's the croaking toad, I don't get it?

    All the Stevie hate

    You guys should read the autobiography "Fleetwood" by Mick Fleetwood, if you haven't read it. It is a fascinating story about the band. One interesting facet of the book is how Stevie Nicks, even through her solo career, always wanted to keep the band together first and foremost. She's a very good songwriter and can play several instruments. You hater-guys should really lighten up on her

    I've always thought Stevie Nicks was very talented. But I do feel that both Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham have very distinctive stylistic traits, of the kind that are hard to handle for a whole album...at least for me. Christine McVie was so important because she contributed some lighter material.
