Aperkeys Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Awful news. I had a hope to see the Mac live in my life time, it went away. Loved Christine's voice and playing. Her Hammond and Leslie tones were amongst my favorites. 1 Quote Gear: Nord Stage 3 76HP, Moog Little Phatty Stage II, Hammond XK5, Solina String Ensemble My Bands: Aperco, Ummagumma, Amity Band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outkaster Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 It's on the radio right now. That's crazy. I didn't realize she was that old. It's really too bad. She carried a Hammond chop. I am not sure who did the work on it, maybe Bill Beer or Northern Hammond. Quote "Danny, ci manchi a tutti. La E-Street Band non e' la stessa senza di te.

Floyd Tatum Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Yeah, that's too bad. I liked her too, going back to her first outings with Fleetwood Mac. Unique singing voice, and very appropriate keyboard parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuruPrionz Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Rest In Peace Christine, you were truly one of the greats. You will be missed. Long ago and far away I saw Christine and Fleetwood Mac, it was the Bob Welch era which I didn't care for too much but she played and sang very well indeed. Oddly, the lineup from start to finish was Rory Gallagher (who stole the show), Fleetwood Mac and Deep Purple. I loved her work on later Fleetwood Mac albums - Over My Head is just a stellar pop tune (for one). 2 Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is.

Outkaster Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 This is odd. A student just walked in with a Fleetwood Mc Rumors shirt while I was typing here at the University. Apparently Christine wrote a few tunes for the band. 1 Quote "Danny, ci manchi a tutti. La E-Street Band non e' la stessa senza di te.

On such a weird timing, in this weekend her Bill Beer Hammond and Leslie rigs are being auctioned.

Skinny Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 My day just got worse. Lately I’ve enjoyed playing FM tunes on the piano. Songbird being one of my favorites to play. I’m glad I got to see her when she reunited with the band several years back. RIP, Christine McVie. Quote Stuff and things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drawback Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Although I have no basis other than as a viewer and listener over the past few decades, she struck me as a kind and gentle soul with great humility, who somehow had the grit to stick with the role she played in that band. A real professional. RIP Christine. Quote ____________________________________ Rod Here for the gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mate stubb Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Very sad. She was an accomplished musician and singer, and was the writer of some of the band's biggest hits. 1 Quote Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill H. Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Oh no 😔 so sorry tp hear this. 😢 Loved her contributions to Fleetwood Mac. Just posting one of my favorites of hers because it's currently in constant airplay as a backdrop for an EV commercial. Just a perfect timeless pop song - sounds like it could have been written yesterday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pa Gherkin Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Very sad. She was a very tasteful player and her voice was simultaneously gentle and powerful. No overwrought caterwauling or showboating for this lady. Her performances were always admirable. A very apt word to describe her is lovely. Like Kuru,I saw FM during the Bob Welch, Bare Trees era. Same lineup of bands except substitute Silverhead for Rory at Gaelic Park in New York.All three bands smoked. Before the concert started we heard this roaring heavy sounding Lesliefied Hammond from backstage. At first I assumed it was Jon Lord’s but at that time he was playing through Marshalls. I thought maybe he had returned to using Leslies. Turns out it was Christine’s. Interesting dichotomy between that pure voice and the grinding Hammond sound coming from the same person. RIP lovely lady. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamanzarek Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Christine's keyboard parts were often buried in the mix so it was difficult to know exactly what she was doing. In this isolated mix of "Rhiannon" we can hear some substantial Rhodes playing that varies throughout the song.

o0Ampy0o Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 That’s weird how people are saying they could not hear her keyboards or they have been buried. I saw her twice with FM and have always thought her songs were keyboard-centric. She never did solos that I think of at least, it was her holding the melody and rhythm while Lindsay Buckingham provided accents. If I were to listen now for her keyboards they might not be that prominent but I always heard them and listened for them. She had a beautiful voice and a wonderful harmony contribution to the band’s sound. In terms of vocal character and what her voice did with the rest of the band vocals she was a female Paul McCartney, I don’t know whether anyone understands what I mean by that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That comparison hits the target for me. Very tasteful singer, songwriter and musician. She will be missed, but she achieved so much in her life, and that is to be celebrated. Cheers, Mike.

allan_evett Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Very saddened to hear of this yesterday. Christine McVie's sound has been a big part of my life's soundtrack since high school years. I greatly enjoyed her writing and singing, and appreciated her very tasty keyboard work. Godspeed, Ms. McVie! 1 Quote 'Someday, we'll look back on these days and laugh; likely a maniacal laugh from our padded cells, but a laugh nonetheless' - Mr. Boffo. We need a barfing cat emoticon!
