![Fleetwood Mac - The Chain (Official Music Video) [HD]](/img/n.gif)
To think I fell in love with them by listening to this on a crappy A.M. car radio! Thank God I lived long enough for digital remastered recordings of all of Mac’s work. I’m crying…
The ability to remaster music is one thing, but personally I think being able to experience this album, or any of Fleetwood's music back in their glory days would have been better. But I'm only 25, so it seems to me that being able to experience any music before my time would feel a lot different than experiencing it today.
@@LisforLiquor Same age and I agree. There was a different authentic charm about music from this era that simply is no longer captured by today's artists it seems. Not to diminish anyone's talents, but I can only imagine the concert experience from then vs now...sigh.
As someone in their 30s, I have to disagree, something about the old recording and audio frequencies hits different.
Great statement I was born in 1975 but love these so much my parents got me hooked
Nice to hear you made it man, congrats!
Anyone listening in 2024?
yes.
Yes
Ye
Dang right.
Nah
Listen to the wind blow, watch the sun rise
Running in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain (never break the chain)
And if you don't love me now (you don't love me now)
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying (still hear you saying)
You would never break the chain (never break the chain)
Listen to the wind blow, down comes the night
Running in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies
Break the silence, damn the dark, damn the light
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain (never break the chain)
And if you don't love me now (you don't love me now)
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying (still hear you saying)
You would never break the chain (never break the chain)
And if you don't love me now (you don't love me now)
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying (still hear you saying)
You would never break the chain (never break the chain)
Chain keep us together (running in the shadow)
Chain keep us together (running in the shadow)
Chain keep us together (running in the shadow)
Chain keep us together (running in the shadow)
Chain keep us together (running in the shadow)
Chain
Thank you
What?
@@TracyHumes Ears, do you have 'em?
I could have just turned on subtitles you didn't need to...
That bass line though... I feel transported into a different dimension. It's a beautiful way to close out the epic song.
🤫🧏♂️ BYE BYE
Its genius!!!
The bass solo with the drums building up into the guitar solo is so clean
Yeah man guitar solo ay the end best bit 😊

Yeah! Iam so excited for the song. It’s like a goosebumps in my ear
I was "today" years old when I learned that John McVie is playing a fretless bass on this song. Didn't realize that they existed back in 1976.
This doesn't get older, just better.
Like a vintage wine
Fvrbf
Ya, i cant stop listening this music, when i hear, more better this music goes.
I grew up listening to Fleetwood & all the solo albums as they went through everything... timeless...
That's like me
This was my grandma's favorite band ever! She passed away 2 years ago and i think of her all the time.. FUCK CANCER
+1 FUCK CANCER 😔
Respect that brody
Fuck cancer!
YO FUCK CANCER
Listen to this song OUT LOUD!!! Just a gift dude!
"And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again"
Thats tight & TRUE!!!!! 😢
That guitar solo gives me goosebumps every single time
makes me want to race around a racetrack in a 1000HP car designed like an upside down wing!
Have you listened to “Tango In The Night”? Absolute 🔥 guitar in that song.
I mean i've gotta say i would class it as the best guitar solo in HISTORY. I almost cried when I first heard it.
@@MrWeedWacky 1K BHP 12K revs turbocharged in-line 4 or V6 engines of 1986 or the high 16K (i think) of naturally aspirated V8s of the mid 2000s - early 2010s
Every instrument is absolute perfect here bro
I love how all the comments are about either Guardians or that one Rango edit.
That scene fits really well. Bad ass!
Rangy
Rango is the better Moment xD
Or F1.
I saw guardian first so It makes more sense but Rango edit pretty fire
My grandmother wasn’t big on rock, but this song she loved. She said it has soul. Grandma was soooo right! ❤
Dear person reading this. You have good taste in music.
😊
I know
cheers Mate
Haha so do you
Get a yob
That base guitar riff at the end, got to be one of the all-time greatest riffs in the history of everything.
Spelled bass wrong, it’s spelled bass in this context
I've heard people play that bass riffs at jams definitely agree with ur comments best bass riff ever
And that riff at the end is literally this.
4 words, naturally aspirated V8s or V10s cars, screaming on the grid. 5 lights. 20 - 26 drivers.
And them 4 words:
This….is formula one
AGREED
I've got to agree! I'm always like, WOW!!!
‘You know, you look like Mary Poppins.
Is he cool?
Yeah he’s cool
IM MARY POPPINS Y’All’!
❤️
We are Mary Poppins
Best scene
Gardens of the Galaxy
still cant belive the guy that said that was merle in twd lol(please dont just say who is that isntead of looking him up, youll laugh if you look it up i guarantee
This is one of the songs that reaches deep down into my soul. The instrumental pieces are phenomenal. They just don’t make music like this anymore. ❤
They still make songs like this you know you just have to listen. Today's musicians get a hard rap but it is more difficult for them to be original. They can only be good.
This is a solid contender for the best rock album.
"It only takes one bullet"
"You aint got the nerve"
"Try me!!"
lol, probably just us came for this
Yeah, this brought me here lol
@@MrHerhor67 bruh, i post this before read all the coments
All hail CZcams Algo Rythm
True that movie is good
"Rumours" is one of my favourite albums of all time. It's brilliant to hear these songs occasionally on TV shows, like "Our Flag Means Death", which did perfect justice to "The Chain" with some fantastic editing.
hard agree
chain is the grand prix tune in the uk
Played this album every day in my last year of high school. Saw them in New Plymouth 35 years later, still the great voices and the best rhythm section in the world
Love your memories
I have always considered this, along
with the End, by the Beatles, as one of the best guitar sequences ever. Amazing when you think that the members of each band were not really getting on with each other. In both csses they seemed to be able to rise above their differences and create pure magic.
Its 2020 and I want to hug anyone who still loves this song...
I want my hug now
chuggalug.. lets huggalotta hate ..OUTTTA THIS WORLD !
Hugs
You can hug me 😍
ay bro where u live? I'm coming for my hug
RIP Ms Christine McVie. Your spirit may have left us, but your history & legacy shall not be forgotten.
Better than Stevie always
@@aprilvanromer883that’s a hot take
@@bennew6774 There's nothing incredible about it. Some people may simply find Stevie's voice rasping like I do.
I think she may have been if bit the greatest songwriter ever, she'd be right up there in the top 5.
So say we all!!!
Heard this the other day in a restaurant and immediately flashed back to memories of my mom. Amazing song and blessed to have it spark such special memories. Can still see my mom swaying to this
This song is so good I've been listening to Fleetwood mac for years and I LOOOOOOVE THEM "Runin in the shadows" love it
Remember guys: If they don't love you now, they will never love you again. Don't be simps.
Wisdom.
Better words were never spoken
Thunder only happens when it's rainin'. Players only love you when they're playin'.
Do you weirdo "red pilled" men have to ruin every video? Damn.
@@Ana-ls8rh Some people need to be told to move on, that's all.
Most definitely Fleetwood Mac will always be one of most prolific bands in the music industry and I'll never get tiered of listening to them 👍👍👍
“It only takes one bullet…”

Yes sir
THIS IS SO MY FAVORITE SONG BY THEM!! THE INTRO GETS IT FOR ME EVERY TIME!! 👏👏👏
I agree!
This song one of the best in rock history.incredible amazing.
3:04 .... Gotta love F1!!!
Yessss I litterally was thinking that then saw ur comment 🤣
80s F1
BBC intro!! I'm italian..Rai italian television in 80's it connected directly with the circuit without intro, how sad
I was listening to this song while riding my bike in my neighborhood for hours....then the sunset came....beautiful.
Omg! I think I’m gonna do that 😆👌
Bike as in bicycle or bike as in motor/dirt bike? Ones significantly less bad ass than the other
@@MERLINnecrofansure but one is significantly more nostalgic then the other for many people.
Man I was literally doing the same thing today except I was training in my hilly neighborhood!
A smile does creep unto my face whenever I go into an old song to see the wonderful surprise of the very beginning of the song being the most replayed. One of the best songs in history.
My mind is officially blown - I've seen the album cover many times, I heard clips of the chorus from what I can remember. I've never listened to the track the whole way through and I had absolutely no idea how big this track was and still is! 😀
The entire album is a masterpiece!
RIP Murray Walker. I instantly had to come here at hearing he’s gone. He will always be associated with this song for me. He was at his very best.
Same here
Still the most relevant comment here , far far more than any comments on some Guardian of a galaxy.. whatever that is!!
Rest In Peace Murray
We hope your commentating for Bianchi, Lauda and Senna up there
@@bowlerstuff9589 Raztenberger too
@@bowlerstuff9589You forgot the most important one, James Hunt
Our Flag Means Death has changed this song for me forever ❤
You know this song was birthed through the break ups in the band. Pain makes powerful songs, especially when Fleetwood Mac is involved.
It’s funny you mention that because thanks to Guardians of the Galaxy and the fact I’ve been treated poorly by groups I thought I would fit in and belong to I associate this song with anger and that poor treatment. That’s the simple terms for that anyway.
RIP Peter Green. One of the founders of Fleetwood Mac. Always love this song and others
RIP ~RESPECT
RIP and thank you for your art
RIP rest in peace 😔
When did he die?
When?
RIP Christine McVie! You and Fleetwood Mac were an integral part of my teenage years!! The summers of 77, 78 and 79 were the BEST because of music like this. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️👍❤️❤️
Why hasn't that been better announced?
She's an absolute legend.
Sirius xm radio.... The deep tracks station is currently all FM with a focus on CM. it's freaking amazing. I've been a fan since about 1976 (I was 14)and I've been hearing tons of tracks that I either never heard or forgotten about.
That band. Dayum. And Christine was as integral a part of the songwriting, harmonies, performance, and vibes, of any of them.
Her legacy will remain, carved into the living hearts of all of us
Yeah I'm so sad that she died; I've looked up to her ever since I was an 8th grader in 2019. And dang, she really nails that high harmony!
Does a single person that has ever existed not love this song? Lordy.
This song is a masterpiece 🎉, awesome band!!!
The bass in the end it's the best Shit Ever Dude
I agree that base riff in the second half of the song is outstanding! It ROCKS!!
For British followers of Formula 1, it's probably the best known bass riff in all music as the BBC used it as a sig tune whrn Murray Walker was the main commentator.
Lindsey Buckingham certainly can shred- one of rocks greatest guitarist- and yet he never gets grouped together with Clapton- Hendrix- or Gilmore- He deserves his due

Rumours*, you idiot
Definitely one of them, yes
Lindsey is such a perfectionist.
This has to be one of my top five favorite songs ever😂🎉❤❤❤❤
In 1978 my brother taped what turned out to be the end of this track from the "Grand Prix," programme of BBC2, We were too underprivileged at that time to buy the album from whence this comes. It was only just over four years later that my brother had it taped by a friend at university so i got to hear this whole track, rather than just the end of it being used to front a motor racing TV programme.
ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS EVER..
First day on lockdown. We Gona start this musical journey right. And I'm Gona rock it hard the next 21 days.
*Day 48 ~ Chain hasn't broken yet

Day 23 for me and still rockin'.
LOL you guys are counting your days 😂 nothing new to me
Lockdown for asthmatic gimps
its been 1 month of lockdown here
still rockin
I used to start this song on my headphones when I left my house on my motorbike, if I timed it just right I'd arrive at a really sweet section of fast road at 3:03, man those were the days
Oh man. This exact feeling!
How do you hear music on a motorbike?

@@connorlasserre347 Never seen it tbqh
The fact that I just found this song few weeks ago makes me angry , how many great songs are hiding out there ? will I ever find them ?
I highly recommend Jefferson starship(start with a song called white rabbit it’s a trip) or Cream both are fantastic, also Steve nicks the main female singer of fleetwood Mac also did a lot of solo work also fantastic, as I side note highly recommend you look into the history of this very album it’s called rumours for very good reason and every song has very real and deep meaning once you know it the songs take a very different light but don’t want to spoil that journey for you. Enjoy
Just listen to your local classic hits station and use Shazam to find the song and artist. That's what I would recommend nowadays. However I grew up listening to these tunes on the radio all the time, a good while before Shazam, and when CZcams was in Infancy
Just look up songs from the 60s and 70s. There's a goldmine of music to be found there
@@philhenry9898 I will check it , thanks man !
I hope u do 🤞
I love this song and this group. Long live Fleetwood Mac!!
I named my son Chain after this song… and if he had a bad day, when he was in school we would crank this up sing “ they will never break the Chain”’!! Me and his dad loved the song 🎶 so much it was planned for our wedding walk, and loved it for our only sons name..Gives me goosebumps everytime. Brilliantly constructed this song 🎶 ❤

That's why its back in the playlist. Love that show

I was a child when this album was released but I remember those days.
I'm in my 50s now and realize how valuable truly good, aimless, and classic music is.
The sounds of my teenage years.
The more I listen to this the more I can understand why it's named this way. The amount of emotion and spirit put into this song makes it not need lyrics to make it's message clear.
Just like classical music, it's up to whoever listens to it to actually hear it.

Do you listen to the wind blow, Fleetwood Mac started out as a British blues band with Peter Greene as the star, he died
16 years old in 1976 this was a Huge revord, their songs were the backdrop of my teenage years.
Rumors one of the most complete albums out there, very little filler, its all quality
This song makes me want to learn bass
Davie504 wants to know your *location*

This song wants me too take bass pulse acid
By far, my favorite (Buckingham/Nicks era) Fleetwood Mac song. My job plays a lot of FM music all day long, this is the one song that I never tire of .
Everywhere, and I don't want to know are 🤙🏻👌🏻🤌🏻
I used to hear this so often growing up and had such a blast singing it with friends and family at different times doing different things. From working in the garden to road trips up into the mountains or even driving down to Florida. Loved experiencing all that.
I was born early 70's and I remember how I so took this song to heart!! It made me so mad as a teenie bop when Fleetwood Mac broke up....I took it personally, I was like....I thought you would NEVER break the chain!!! Nowadays it makes me smile when I think about such innocent times...
The bass solo in the middle is epic, and will (in the UK at least) be forever associated with Formula 1 thanks to the BBC using it as the coverage's theme.
I just found that out now and I'm actually a little sad I didn't grow up in the uk lol
I would have never found the original song if it wasn't for Shazam.
It was AMAZING.
Every single race you'd get super-hyped once this theme started playing, and afterwards you'd hear the late, great Murray Walker:
"Hullo, and welcome to the Nurburgring for the German Grand Prix..." 🥲
Not many people know that this was used for formula 1. Kudos
@@biru4531It’s a double-edged sword, tbh babes. Any time I hear this song come on and it gets to the iconic bass - without fail - I find myself listening for the whining engines, the screams of the tires and the voice of Murray Walker. Even when I know they’re not gonna be there the absence is jarring, like missing a step on your way downstairs.
Needless to say it sort of takes away from the emotional impact of the song. If you want a taste, search “F1, the science of the scream”.
Incredible tune. Everyone who had a part in this tune was outstanding! From Mick's percussion, to Stevie's vocals! Just Outstanding!
I SO agree!!!
Fleetwood Mac were an exceptional band. Everyone was great.
That's right, Mac! Show the world and other artists how album cuts are REALLY done!!!
I found this song from Guardians of the Galaxy and I'm surprised I like this kind of music
Well you still have almost 50 more years of good music to catch up on. Enjoy it..
I remember my Mom cleaning this song and many others. So I loved it. Fleetwood Mac is seriously amazing

Its soooo majestic.....
Ill never forget the first time I heard Fleetwood Mac. It was there song "Everywhere" and I made my Mum play it on repeat until she was sick of it! This song gives me goosebumps every single time I hear it.
Love Fleetwood mac
Those great songs are out there waiting to be found - happy hunting!! 😉

Shame on anyone who'd give this song a thumbs down. It is by far in my top 10... or 5 favorite songs. 3:01 is just chill and nostalgic. The guitar is what gets me
They must be drunk deaf or both 😀
They know nothing about classic music that will never die 💯. THE younger generation only knows the garbage that is put out now .They only know about autotune.They don't understand back in the day the singers crafted their art painfully and with raw talent !!
@@sandysmom100 I’m sorry but that’s just not true. Plenty of people my age (I’m 26) enjoy this type of music and other classic music. I personally listen to music from the 1950s-80s as well as earlier and some classical. I appreciate the artistry that went into this music. Please don’t pigeonhole an entire generation based on your assumptions, because you don’t know everyone else’s music tastes. The fact is everyone is different and we all like different things.

For real, this song's use in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" is the one of the best song choices in a series that knows how to choose songs.
Look at both times this song comes up (the Guardians are in turmoil and break up at first-and Starlord realizing that Ego's the villain and turning on him-basically realizing the Guardians were his real family). And then look at the history of Fleetwood Mac, specifically the extreme turmoil the band was in when they were making this album, with this song (the only song credited to all five members of Fleetwood Mac) being a perfect encapsulation of all of the drama that was tearing the band apart-and yet the band carried on and stayed together for about a decade afterward.
Poetic, almost you can say.
I read James Gunn chooses the music before anything else in the Guardians movies. Both have amazing soundtracks and grateful my son gets to experience them within that context and learn kick-ass music
Agreed 100%, always trust the guardians of the galaxy to have some old time hits in the most best and intesne parts of the film lol
It was a perfect choice for that scene.
Absolute banger.
I always listen to this song before major stressful events like exams or competitions. That bass line gives me strength…
just discovered this band through our flag means death... great music
Same
Fleetwood Mac is a great band! I’ve known them longer than I’ve watched OFMD, and I was pleasantly surprised to hear this song in the show. Rumours is one of the greatest albums ever, and it’s definitely worth a full listen. :)
It is a perfect match
Yup! Lol.
Then I take it you've not watched the series "The Americans"?
While cooking supper last night I listened to all the live versions of The Chain on Spotify. Little did I know what would transpire just hours later. The chain is broken..I am broken 💔
R. I. P. Christine, you will be with us forever for other generations to enjoy.
Wait, what happened if you don't mind me asking
This song makes me proud to be a bass player

I remember many years of my life growing up I didn't think much of Fleetwood Mac. But I always love this song and I never knew that Fleetwood Mac created the song for many many years. I was just floored. And then it just led me to really becoming a huge fan of Stevie Nicks.
These headphones don’t go loud enough.
legit though lol
That quiet/loud dynamic...always a winner.
I was listening to this song as a child when my dad used to play it. And it stuck to me. And now I'm 49, it still is as fresh as back then.
I love every bit of this song.

Even though the music is from long before I was born, It's my favorite band of all time. R.I.P Christine.
"damn your love damn your lies"
This hits hard for those in breakups
A perfectly constructed song, far far greater than the sum of its parts. This was a band at the top of their game 👌
simplesmente a masterpiece
From Wikipedia: "The Chain" was created from combinations of several previously rejected materials, including solo work by Buckingham, Nicks and Christine McVie. It was assembled, often manually by splicing tapes with a razor blade, at the Record Plant in Sausalito, California, with hired engineers Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut.[4]
Due to the spliced nature of the record (the drums and guitar were the only instruments recorded in each other's company)[8] and its sporadic composition and assembly from different rejected songs, "The Chain" is one of only a few Fleetwood Mac songs whose authorship is credited to all members of the band at the time.[4] The finished song itself has a basic rock structure, although it has two distinct portions: the main verse and chorus, and the outro. Influences of hard rock, folk, and country are also present.
Subsequent analysis of "The Chain" has also led many to cite it as one of the most evocative expressions of the internal fracture among various band members at the time. Buckingham and Nicks were ending their relationship at the same time that John and Christine McVie's marriage broke down, as did that of Fleetwood and his wife, Jenny Boyd.[4]
Lauren Harwyn save it
Thanks for history lesson, insightful and adds more meaning to the song.
