The baggage between those two is immense.
He'll always have an A+ in my book for making that John Stewart album though.
A lot of my more gifted guitar player friends always tell me he is a shit player but to me he may not be the most technical player but his talent is more than just being the lead guitarist he is a great writer, producer and I find his playing very appropriate to the song.
The history between him and Stevie even today seems completely toxic and unresolved and I think unless you are in that world completely impossible to describe.
All that said have enjoyed his work a lot over the years.

I would say the exact opposite. He’s certainly very idiosyncratic which makes him hard to impersonate, but also very good.
He doesn’t exactly come across well as someone you’d really want in your band though, creative genius and great guitarist or not...

It would appear he's now suing the band over his sacking!!

part of this is due to the fact he learned bluegrass banjo before guitar.
his use of tunings, alternate pickings and so on are almost without parallel in pop music. As is his use of repicking a note to mimic sustain.
people who say he can’t play are normally shred types who simply don’t get how you play the music and write with a guitar.
if you named the 5 greatest guitar based songwriters of all time Lindsey in in there. He’s a genius, but a total cunt of a bloke, on all accts.

Stevie's right though, they're a heritage act that should just tour and rake in the cash playing the hits. A new FM album won't set the charts on fire, and any new songs in the set would be overshadowed by the old stuff.
Of course that's not in Lindsey's mentality, he still wants to create. I'm sure I read something a few tours back about him only carrying on with FM as it helps to bring his solo stuff back into the limelight on the back of it.
Wouldn't be Fleetwood Mac without a load of personal drama going on behind the scenes!
