Author Topic: Fleetwood Mac: Destiny Rules Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-14-2005 06:47 PM                        I've always been a Fleetwood Mac fan so I was interested in this documentary of the making of their last album, "Say You Will." It was a disappointment. Boring, for one thing. Lindsay Buckingham comes off as an anal, controlling, cheapskate asshole. The one who comes out the best is Mick Fleetwood. He is clearly the glue holding the band together, as he always has been. It's pretty interesting to see the atmosphere that surrounds the recording process. This would have been a much better movie with some editing and better direction. 1-1/2 out of 5 stars. Stevie Nicks looks great for her 50-plus years, so half-a-star added for the Greco factor.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 01-11-2006 11:58 PM                     At a 21 complex that I used to work at, we had an employee named "Rhiannon." Thus, I would always call her "Fleetwood"..and she loved it since nobody else knew what I was talking about (and she was a MAC fan..) when would I address with that "nick". She formally adopted that nickname since then. So, Mike, how many times do you have a "MAC" attack? -Monte  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-12-2006 06:54 AM                        It seems impossible now, but Fleetwood Mac were worshippers at the altar of Elmore James before Buckingham & Nicks joined; it's sort of like the difference between the Doobie Brothers before & after Michael McDonald joining & Jefferson Airplane/Starship before & after Mickey Thomas joining. I guess they couldn't keep Mickey Thomas' MOR-ness under control like Elvin Bishop was able to when Thomas was in his outfit.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 01-12-2006 12:52 PM                     "the Worst of JA" Grace Slick stole that album.  |  IP: Logged
