Billboard.com recently conducted an interview with ex-FLEETWOOD MAC drummer Mick Fleetwood. In the interview Fleetwood talks about his new series entitled Off The Record, and M.O.B – the supergroup featuring AEROSMITH frontman STEVEN TYLER. An excerpt from the interview is below:
Fleetwood, meanwhile, is busy opening his new club, Fleetwood's On Front, in Maui, and recently assembled a supergroup called The M.O.B. - featuring Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, Fleetwood Mac co-founder John McVie and guitarist Jonny Lang - to record a version of ‘Sharp Dressed Man’ that kicks off the new ZZ TOP - a Tribute From Friends album. "I knew about (ZZ Top) before I met them, and they are the real deal," Fleetwood says. "They come from a great love of blues, and they've always expressed a real regard for Peter Green and the original Fleetwood Mac, which led to this long-term friendship and regard. So this was totally my pleasure to do. I was not only flattered to be asked but excited to be part of it"
Fleetwood also harbors an ambition to reassemble The M.O.B. (which he says is not a specific acronym) in the future. "I have musical fantasies all the time," he says with a laugh, "but we had a lot of fun doing this, and I truly, truly do have a vision of somewhere, somehow walking on stage and actually putting something together with (the group). It's nothing on a boiler plate right now, but it's certainly something in my mind, and I think everybody else's, too."
