    This was the second Fleetwood Mac song we’ve heard and it was AMAZING! We’ve both heard it at least 15 times each by the time we’re actually posting this! We’ve looked up the meaning to the song and just wow, amazing stuff. What other songs should we check out by them?! We did ‘Dreams’ which is on our patreon but perhaps one day we could post it here too? We’ll see! Let us know whatcha want!! Cheers guys! 🤟🏻🔥

Mick, John, Christine, Lindsay, and Stephanie all bring something to the band which is irreplaceable and it's the most awkward setup of two Americans coming in as replacements after the band had already found success..
      Mixing with these three Brits...and they made the best album and best selling which the world had ever known in Rumors at the time and nothing since has ever topped the magic they created. I pray they iron out whatever went down with Lindsay and realize and appreciate at most they've got maybe five years left before they can never be again...someone will pass and if not reconciled a new generation of fans who NEED them to learn to appreciate what music CAN be with the right pieces will be robbed of just about the best example of music and writing for a group that music will ever know in this cycle of humanity.

    Alex and Andy: This album was basically a document of the self destruction of the internal relationships of the band. By the time it was done, they had all switched partners, EVERY SONG was aimed at the other, telling each other precisely how they felt about the other. Nothing could have prepared them for the reaction the album got. Of course, with all the vitriol expressed in the lyrics at each other, they then had to spend 3 years on the road playing it!

    Rumours - one of the best selling albums of all time. And now you guys know why.
    And the reason it sounded like they were singing to each other is because they were. Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks were two kids in LA trying to make it as a Duo. When the other members of Fleetwood Mac - Christine McVie the singer, John McVie the Bassist and Mick Fleetwood the Drummer were trying to put the band back together they recruited Lindsay to play guitar but they originally weren't interested in Stevie because they thought they didn't need another female singer. In the end, they added her. The title of the album was because of all the rumors about the band (John and Christine breaking up, Lindsay and Stevie breaking up, Mick sleeping with Stevie - all of which were true.) The whole thing is about relationships and it all from the heart.
    You should really listen to Go Your Own Way.

    Fleetwood Mac was the most popular band in the world when this album was released. There is not a bad track on the entire album. Lindsey Buckingham was a unique and underrated guitar player. Most of the band were incredible vocalist. To top it off, you have to love the strategic placement of Mic Fleetwood's "balls" on the album cover. Just another small reason old people miss album art.

      I will second that armadillotoe. The album was so popular when it came out, that my high school put a picture of the album on the cover of our yearbook. Probably violated some copyright laws there but I think we’re long past the statute of limitations on that one. It was one hell of an album for sure. And they were absolutely the band of the moment, in the same way that U2 became the biggest band in the world about a decade later with their release of The Joshua Tree.

      And if Andy & Andy don't know they should at least know the two singer Lindsey Buckingham (the dude) and Stevie Nicks (the woman) did date and broke up shortly after Buckingham found out the Nicks was sleeping with the drummer Mick Fleetwood. Really they just need to read the entire history of the band cause it's like a lot of drama. They even have a former member Jeremy Spencer who was or still could be in the cult Children of God.

    Guys, glad you’re discovering Fleetwood Mac. I highly recommend you also check out “The Dance” for one of their greatest live performances.
    Also, this song is deeply personal for the band. They had a LOT of personal and professional problems with each other over their career, but they always vowed not to let it stop them doing this. So yes, this song is basically them talking to each other.

    "It's almost as if they are singing to each other."
    Too funny. Since you say you looked up the meaning of the song then you know that they ARE singing to each other.
    Can you say 'tension?'

I came away with a new appreciation for his playing. This is one of my favorite bands of all time. I was a teenager when it came out. Stevie Nicks is one of the greatest women songwriters of this era.

Many good bands a few great bands, but hands down this is thee band. You hit the nail on the head. Most albums you buy for a couple of songs.

      I'm blessed... Born in the 70s, childhood in the 80s and teenager in the 90s. Fleetwood Mac, Beastie Boys, Nirvana to Billy Idol and Dire Straights as well. I listened to it all. My girls know all of Holes (Courtney Loves band) songs and all of New Order (80s band) songs, Lana Del Rey songs and The Killers and Foster the People. They listen to everything I play. I realized that not everyone shares their love of music with the kids. Sometimes kids just assume that all "old" music is Disco music (which I live by the way too) and don't pay attention to good music. But, I realized that some kids are musically deficient when my daughter has mentioned (not once but twice), that her friends had never heard some of the music she had downloaded on her phone. I was shocked. Almost a shocked as these reaction videos on Fleetwood Mac. Wow, the 1st time?

  • @stuartalexander2657

    That band has a storied history; you should check out some of their earliest work with the one and only Peter Green on guitar (widely considered at the time as the premiere blues rock player in the UK; yes, even over Clapton). Later they had Bob Welch handling guitar duties; HIGHLY underrated musician (who sadly took his own life a few years ago). Check out one of his/their songs called "Hypnotized". It will floor you; trust me. :)

Lyndsey and Stevie were HATING each other at this point , Christine and John were on the brink too , Mick was screwing both Christine and Stevie , Christine was also screwing the lighting director , the cocaine use was THROUGH THE FUCKING ROOF so , "the chain" was the only thing holding them together .
