Video: Stevie Nicks Confirms She and Lindsey Buckingham Have Record New Fleetwood Mac Music

Fleetwood Mac is Back!

Check this out... Stevie on the black carpet interviewed during the Breaking Dawn Premiere... She talks all about Fleetwood Mac's new tour... The new music they've recorded and what we can expect in terms of shows and where they'll play.

I've transcribed basically everything she said, the video below is a bit weird:

Stevie Nicks:  "I was in the studio with Lindsey last week for 4 days we recorded 2 songs".  Stevie says they will probably throw those out about a month before they go on tour... They start rehearsals January 15th and should be on the road by the end of April, 2013.  

2013 will be the year of Fleetwood Mac

Lindsey wrote two beautiful songs that Stevie says she sang on... She said that we have a song from the Buckingham Nicks era that should have gone on that record but it was the 13th song so didn't make it, so they recorded that.  She says they might be doing those 3 songs - and for the tour she says they are really going to go through their catalogue and pull out some really neat stuff that they don't normally do on stage and make it a really different show from the 2003, 2004 and 2009 tours and make a real effort to make it a really special new show. 

When asked how many shows she believes they'll play... Stevie says there will probably be about 50 US shows and they always do about 17 shows in Australia and about 15 shows in Europe... So it's a big tour.. it's a big world tour.

Exciting news about new music... The tour was a given, but the flip flopping on whether they should put out some new music was getting confusing.

STEVIE NICKS: 'TWILIGHT' CHANGED MY LIFE
The Insider

As the final installment of The Twilight Saga nears its release, fans are elated to see the new film yet sad to see the franchise end. Fleetwood Mac vocalist and solo artist Stevie Nicks is one of those diehard fans.

While she has become one of rock 'n' roll's most iconic voices in her many years, Nicks said that she had decided that she wasn't going to put out any more new music until she found inspiration in a seemingly unlikely place--New Moon.

Feeling stirred to create new music once again, Nicks then recorded "Moonlight (A Vampire's Dream)," for which she filmed a Twilight-esque music video and credited the film as her source of inspiration.

The song then convinced Nicks to continue recording music, which led her to make the tall claim that the film changed her life.

"When I finished the song, I got up and said to my assistant, 'I'm ready to do a record now,' and I hadn't done a record in ten years, so this story changed my life," she said. "Bella and Edward, Robert and Kristen, they changed my life and made me decide to make another record 'cause I was never going to make another record."

The album that resulted in 2011 was In Your Dreams, which reached as high as No. 3 on U.S. rock charts. Owing the creation of her album to the film franchise, Nicks admitted to being upset that it was coming to an end.

"It's been a three-year journey for me...since 'New Moon' and I'm a little sick at heart," the 64-year-old singer-songwriter said. "It's very bittersweet for me. I've already written a page of a poem from the first 'Breaking Dawn' movie, so I'm already started."

Yahoo Movies interview with Stevie 

The Fleetwood Mac musician said at the Los Angeles premiere of Breaking Dawn - Part 2 that she finds Stephenie Meyer's novels to be "kind of timeless".

Nicks said when asked how she felt about the end of the movie series: "It's bittersweet... because I really would be happier if it was not ending. I wish it could go on forever. I think that [Stephenie] is probably... god knows how long it took her to write this. And it's been five years!

"It's a huge love story... I was just saying to the last [journalist], it's like Wuthering Heights, it's that kind of story... it's like Jane Eyre... it's a totally timeless kind of story that we can relate to."

Nicks also commented on the fervent fan reception for the movie's stars at the premiere, saying: "Well, it must be pretty fantastic and at the same time disturbing... I'm used to it, but I don't think you ever get 'used' to it. It's wonderful, and I love it, but at the same time it's kind of scary.

"If you're one of the chosen few that has an audience that loves you so much, it's a beautiful thing, and they will carry it with them for the rest of their lives."

Solo Acoustic Live Album 

"One Man Show" 

Release Date: November 13, 2012

Legendary guitarist, singer/songwriter, Grammy winner, producer and Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame member Lindsey Buckingham has released his first ever solo acoustic live album, Lindsey Buckingham: One Man Show. The album, recorded live and in one take from his Hoyt Sherman Place show in Des Moines, Iowa on September 1st, is a raw and unmixed performance that includes many of his hits. Get One Man Show now, exclusively on iTunes.

Buckingham says, “As an artist, you need to seek out what is essential and discard what is inessential, to always keep an eye on what lives at the center. That was the impetus for this performance. My center has always been voice and guitar, and as I've evolved, I've looked to broaden the range and vocabulary of that center. So when I decided to tour in 2012, it suddenly felt as though I'd been working towards something, that I'd arrived at a new place. I sensed it was time to do something I'd never done: A one man show. This performance is from a single night in Des Moines, Iowa, taken right off the console mix, with a couple of room mikes added in. It's live and raw, with no post-production. I love it! It captures not only the spirit of the performance, but also the spirit of where I now live as an artist.”

"Trouble" at The Orange Peel

Lindsey Buckingham Live at The Orange Peel
by: Jason Bugg

When he walked out on stage I thought for a moment that I might hate him. His hair is well-coiffed and curly on top, his leather jacket tight, his jeans tighter and his shirt unbuttoned a little too far and displaying a cross necklace on his sweaty, hairless chest. He wears boots with a slight lift in them and he sucks in his cheeks while standing still on stage. Every movement in done in a completely self-conscious manner and many of the self-penned songs he performs references the author as a “visionary”.

The man was Lindsey Buckingham, and everything about him screamed Southern California sleaze; too much money for too long coupled with a lot of cocaine in his distant past. The Peruvian Bam-Bam is gone now, and the rock legend remains. His delivery is slower and less frantic than it has been in the past, but each moment is measured and calculated for maximum effect. But despite the personality quirks and an ego-maniacal persona, his show at the Orange Peel on November 11, 2012 was good. Damn good.

Review: Lindsey Buckingham Live in St. Louis Nov 9th

Lindsey Buckingham show is sweet but short
By Daniel Durchholz Special to the Post-Dispatch

“Always leave them wanting more,” is a time-tested showbiz adage, but there’s such a thing as taking even good advice too much to heart. Such was the case Friday night at the Pageant, where once-and-(presumably) future Fleetwood Mac guitarist and sonic auteur Lindsey Buckingham put in a brilliant but exceedingly brief night’s work.

Clocking in at a mere 75 minutes, the show found Buckingham performing without the support of a backing band or even an opening act. Neither factor is a fault in itself. It’s often preferable at concerts to dive right into the headlining set; and solo shows can sometimes offer insights into heavily layered studio creations like Buckingham’s by stripping them bare.

So that much was fine. But the show was billed as “an evening with” Buckingham, and it was hardly that.

For the time he was onstage, however, Buckingham burned brightly, delivering dazzling guitar work and singing each song with energy and intensity.

"The show was terrific, but simply too short."
