Same could be said for The Cure?

Woah!

I guess if they performed it at all they’d go back to the original

I mean I have no idea about his guitar playing. The guy is way above any level I could aspire to but it’s not like I haven’t seen others finger pick in that style too (and he has a delay on so that sounds nice and big - I love a good use of delay).

I assume you need two people to replace him more because of the incredible vocal range he can do?

This news was mentioned on another music board. It seems it’s a bit more complicated than “Lindsay was fired”. The rest of the band wanted to get organised and go on tour; Lindsay did not want to or wasn’t ready. That really only left them the option of touring without him, and that meant getting one or more replacements on board.

Whether you want to call that Lindsay quitting, Lindsay being fired, o just a parting of the ways, is largely a matter of semantics. Of course the word “fired” is a nice emotive word that gets readers’ blood up and sells news copy.

As for Neil Finn - I have nothing but admiration for him as a musician, but I can’t imagine him being a good fit with FM.

Two guitarists now, so one can do the bass notes with the other doing the rest.

News of Buckingham’s departure initially broke when former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Billy Burnette shared an April 4th tweet that has since been deleted, saying: “Breaking news: Lindsey Buckingham is out but I’m not in.”

is in the article, it’s hardly a massive leap to suggest that Lindsey’s absence was not by choice.

Fired sounds like he won’t be back. Maybe he’s just not in this tour? Odd

love it, he’s so taut and urgent when he plays sometimes. So much more so than a lot of other people of his generation.

It’s all just Rumours.
