You are correct about Lindsey. He is fantastic and he does showcase his playing in this song. This song was recorded in 14 different places including Lindsey's bathroom. He is a true artist and let's not forget the rest of the band. Good stuff. R.I.P Christine!!!
One of those background singers, Christine Mcvey, piano and vocals, her song, Songbird is on this album too, seriously under appreciated, but so pretty.
Fleetwood Mac is one of those bands that is amazing in the studio and 10 times more amazing live. You should watch the live video of this from the L.A. Forum in 1982. Stevie and Lindsey stare daggers at each other throughout the whole song. Then compare the 1997 live video from The Dance concert and you'll see the emotion has only mellowed about a tenth of a point in 20 years' time.
OMFG This ENTIRE album is kickass from begining to end! Poor Mick is the scariest MoFo I have ever seen sitting at a drum kit and Lindsey B? Well, a fabulous musician! I believe this album was like #4 in total time on the Billboard Charts! LOVE this album!
You are a Death-Metal drummer?; WOW!, I love old-skool Death-Metal, I was drawn to it by the unusual sounding vocals, and the Blast-Beat drumming which to me sounds like rapid fire from a machine-gun.
I think Lindsey's picking style is what sets him apart and makes him underrated. He tended to use a banjo style picking and only use his fingers and no picks. The Chain and Big Love(his live version- not the studio version) are phenomenal examples of his guitar playing.
Heck no ... I think he just gets buried in sea of talent that is Fleetwood Mac ... Knopfler is the quintessential finger player as are guys like Jerry Reed
@@theccpisaparasite8813 I completely agree. Jerry Reed would definitely be the most underrated out of these three. Me saying it set him apart was never to say he was the best at that style.
What a year this was... Elvis dies, Star Wars comes out, and this gem of an album comes out and is played on so many radio stations. Great reaction vid by you.
I agree with Gail Johnson's comment down below. "Hypnotized" was released before Buckingham and Nicks joined the band. Guitarist Bob Welch is the creator for that one. He was fascinated by paranormal stuff. He even did a song called "Bermuda Triangle" on his last album with the Mac. Anyway, "Hypnotized" is a hidden classic. Buckingham even performed this live with the Mac shortly after joining.
You will love "The Chain", which is basically just Lindsey and Stevie being "I hate you!" "No, I hate you more!" while John McVie plays The MOTHER-EFFING Bass Solo of All Time. (No, really.) At the other end of the spectrum is Christine McVie's "You Make Loving Fun", which is a bit odd, since she and John were splitting up as well. And then there's "Don''t Stop" which, 15 years later, became the theme song for the Democratic party. Yeah, Bill Clinton pushed a song from a band which was like non-stop adultery. Big shock, huh? Also, the title song from their next, more-complicated album, "Tusk".
"You Make Loving Fun" was Christine's song about Curry Grant, the group's lighting designer with whom she was having an affair -- so not too far off the spectrum 8-) The more I hear about the story behind this album, the more unbelievable it seems that it was ever finished.
One of my Top 5 Favorite songs of all Time!! This song "Go your own way" came out a Little earlier than "Dreams" I was 16 in 1977 and I Bought this Album the second it was Available to Buy. Love this Reaction!! You must do "World Turning" and "Landslide" PLEASE!! You will Love them Both.
I consider GO YOUR OWN WAY, YOU MAKE LOVIN FUN and DREAMS the top 3 songs off the classic 1977 RUMOURS album. Out of all their hits Fleetwood Mac had only one number one single, DREAMS. The album RUMOURS spent a total of 31 nonconsecutive weeks at number one on the Billboards top 200 album chart.
For reference: Drums-Mick Fleetwood, Lead guitar-Lindsey Buckingham,Bass-guitar-John McVie,Keyboards-Christine McVie,Percussion/Cymbals-Stevie Nicks. Only Mick Fleetwood and John McVie do not do vocals. The entire album Rumours is a masterpiece. All songs on it are fantastic.
That album is a masterpiece, top to bottom. Try The Chain, it’ll blow your mind. (P.S. Fleetwood Mac has got to be the most dysfunctional band in the history of music. Their whole incestuous history involves each member writing songs about how much they hate each other, then making their band mates sing about how awful they are. It hasn’t been more than a couple months ago that the band fired Mick Fleetwood from his own band!)
I recommended "Hypnotized" to you guys when you reviewed Al Stewart because Ryan commented that he likes a dreamy sound. Hypnotized was recorded before Buckingham/Nicks joined the group, and Bob Welch was their vocalist. (another name you should dive into..lots of good music, including Ebony Eyes)
I’m sure I’m in the minority with this opinion, but the Bob Welch era is my favorite period of Fleetwood Mac. Particularly the short time he and Danny Kirwan were both there, with Future Games and Bare Trees. Magical music
One of my favorite songs of all time. You mentioned the drums....Mick Fleetwood is a great drummer. He never comes up in discussions about the top drummers out there, but he can play.
The bass riff from The Chain is was got my then 14 year old son to self teach himself to learn the bass. At 21 he can play very well and the electric and acoustic of both bass and electric. What a way to make your Gen X mother proud.❤
YES!!! I agree with Nick 100%--Lindsey Buckingham is one of the best guitarists around. I could listen and watch him play for hours on end. A great piece of his work should be reviewed/reacted to is "I'm So Afraid" from the live album THE DANCE. (Yes, there is a video) That guitar solo is very thoughtful and methodic. I hope to see it sometime on the channel!
Please guys, react to Liliac, Enter Sandman, your going to love these young group of brother an sisters and man, they rock guys. Shout out from the 606 in Monticello, Ky.
Most people recommend The Chain, but on the previous album to Rumours, World Turning is just as good. Christine McVie wrote some excellent songs too, like You Make Loving Fun, Don't Stop, Hold Me.
The word is Stevie begged Lindsay to not use the "shacking up" line but he refused. Love Lindsay, but that's a dick move. Great song, Lp, and the anger really drives this song.
The drums were recorded at Sound City. An iconic studio in the 70’s & 80’s. It resulted in the distinctive ‘fat’ sound this whole album has. There are other great albums that were recorded there and they all have that great bottom end sound eg. Tom Petty & The Heatbreakers Damn the Torpedos (listen to the single Refugee)
Yeah, Stevie wasn't thrilled with this song, originally, especially the "Packin' up, shackin' up, is all you wanna do." However, you can hear her harmonizing vocals in the background because I'm sure she knew this was an amazing song even if it was about her. lol Oh, do The Chain! You will be blown away. Talk about the baseline. John McVee starts a baseline at a certain point of the song and sticks with it until the end. Just gives it that extra emotion.
@@ArtieFufkin546 you must not know what she's capable and has been capable of for the last 50 years then. She can produce music as well. She has had her hands on everything in her solo career
This song is AWESOME! They are not on good terms, Stevie was responsible for having Lindsey fired from the group just before they went on tour a couple of years ago. It was an either him or me situation. Checkout Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop", a song written by keyboardist, Christine McVie and sung by Lindsey and Christine.
Another all time favorite band. For an awesome acoustic song listen to ' Never Going Back Again'. If you liked the drums in this song then check out 'Tusk'. Also like Christine McVie's vocals on 'You Make Loving Fun'.
A video you guys did in March about the Cranberries Ode to my Family is her song about the incest that occurred to her when she was young and how it affected her. The therapy was getting it off her chest in the open with a message sent to her parents that what happened to her had damage her more than the public eye can see. Some of the lyrics actually posted was intentionally altered to always be able to hide in plain sight what the song is really about.
that vital acoustic guitar riff that fleshes out the whole song is explained by lindsey here: around 27:40 th-cam.com/video/egBB7zhpeQQ/w-d-xo.html i always found the lyric, "if i could, baby i'd give you my world" extra zingy, as the famous story goes that when lindsey was asked to join FM, they only wanted him but he insisted they'd have to take stevie too. lindsey actually did give stevie his world, their new world. and by the way, stevie insisted lindsey be fired when they last went on tour and they did fire him, so things are NOT all good between them.
Rumours (1977) is one of the greatest rock albums ever made and I think that's a widely accepted fact. There's not one track on the album which isn't an iconic testament to the genius of all the band members. Lynsey Buckingham is a fucking freak. Not only is he one great guitarist, but he plays with no plectrum, just uses his fingers. That's completely ridiculous. None of the tracks on this amazing album are anything less than perfect.
One of the top 5 best albums of all time...they were all breaking up and the songs on this album were written with emotion and hurt....And talent.Something great came out of something bad.Watch if you can ,Lindsay Buckingham,play complex guitar riffs with no pick.
Ty, I gotta disagree with you. This is definitely one Mick Fleetwood’s best drum sessions on ANY of Mac’s songs! Period! End of discussion! 😆 You guys should do “The Chain” if you haven’t already. Classic! Team Lindsey BTW! Definitely my favorite Fleetwood Mac song ever, with “The Chain” a very, very close second.
Like Boston, this album is top shelf from first to last. I suppose it changes depending on the time, but Hold Me is prob my favorite…something about Lindsay and Christine in that song with the piano intro…

It's commercial soulless music.

Just bought this album for my daughter for Christmas. She loved it!! ❤
Lindsay's live version of Never going back is absolutely brilliant. The man is a genius on electric or accoustic
This ENTIRE LP is perfect......not a single bad tune on it.....musical magic!!!
Def. gotta listen to their "Gypsy." One of the ones where Stevie's voice is superhuman.
I'm glad someone said what I've been saying for 40+ years. Lindsey Buckingham is a great guitarist. Thank you for saying so.
You are correct about Lindsey. He is fantastic and he does showcase his playing in this song. This song was recorded in 14 different places including Lindsey's bathroom. He is a true artist and let's not forget the rest of the band. Good stuff. R.I.P Christine!!!
Stevie hated the “packing up, shacking up” part. If you watch their early live performances you can see the anger flowing back and forth between them
One of those background singers, Christine Mcvey, piano and vocals, her song, Songbird is on this album too, seriously under appreciated, but so pretty.
Songbird always makes me cry,It is a beautiful song.Listening to Fleetwood Mac now is tinged with sadness after the death of Christine .
I agree Christine was integral to the band. She does not get enough praise for her contributions.
Fleetwood Mac is one of those bands that is amazing in the studio and 10 times more amazing live. You should watch the live video of this from the L.A. Forum in 1982.

FLEETWOOD MAC "HYPNOTIZED" AN ABSOLUTE MUST HEAR CLASSIC.
One of the first songs i learned on bass and props for John McVie - bass is sooooo cool in this song and many more he does
Saw the WHOLE band together in AC, NJ. Phenomenal concert! RIP Christine🙏
OMFG This ENTIRE album is kickass from begining to end!
Poor Mick is the scariest MoFo I have ever seen sitting at a drum kit and Lindsey B?
Well, a fabulous musician!
I believe this album was like #4 in total time on the Billboard Charts! LOVE this album!
Lindsay Buckingham is a damn cool dude and a great musician. The layering on this track is superb. Layer upon layer upon layer.
This came out was so clean and original. And they blew up!!
Nice to see younglings enjoying that master piece. I'm only 33yo but even if I'm a death metal drummer, that song is a pretty sweaty one. 🤘
You are a Death-Metal drummer?; WOW!, I love old-skool Death-Metal, I was drawn to it by the unusual sounding vocals, and the Blast-Beat drumming which to me sounds like rapid fire from a machine-gun.
I’ve probably listened to this song a thousand times, and I love it more and more each time I hear it.
I think Lindsey's picking style is what sets him apart and makes him underrated. He tended to use a banjo style picking and only use his fingers and no picks. The Chain and Big Love(his live version- not the studio version) are phenomenal examples of his guitar playing.
Heck no ... I think he just gets buried in sea of talent that is Fleetwood Mac ... Knopfler is the quintessential finger player as are guys like Jerry Reed
@@theccpisaparasite8813 I completely agree. Jerry Reed would definitely be the most underrated out of these three. Me saying it set him apart was never to say he was the best at that style.
YES!!!
Nophler and Buckingham for me
I agree how did they do it! I couldn't have one it. Which shows what amazing artists they were.
Masterpiece within a masterpiece
I don't know how anyone could not like this.
Hypnotized for sure, amazing song
What a year this was... Elvis dies, Star Wars comes out, and this gem of an album comes out and is played on so many radio stations.

What would be funny is you guys watching them singing this Live back then, and how _they_ looked at each other while singing it.
You will love "The Chain", which is basically just Lindsey and Stevie being "I hate you!" "No, I hate you more!" while John McVie plays The MOTHER-EFFING Bass Solo of All Time. (No, really.)

the albums before and after rumours are very good also.
One of my favorite songs of all time. You mentioned the drums....Mick Fleetwood is a great drummer. He never comes up in discussions about the top drummers out there, but he can play.
LB is a unreal guitar GOD!!!!
No doubt! Most underrated writer and player. Badass
Love the reaction and the Reds shirt!! Let's Go REDS
Mick Fleetwood, the drummer, has been called the Human Metronome because of his precision.
SAXOPHONE from Heaven, Bob Seger "Turn the Page".
Chills every-time I hear the sax in that song
The bass riff from The Chain is was got my then 14 year old son to self teach himself to learn the bass. At 21 he can play very well and the electric and acoustic of both bass and electric.
What a way to make your Gen X mother proud.❤
They stayed together because it was all about the Money and completing projects
You are right! One of the greatest guitarist ever!!!
I love the drums in this song , first time i heard this song the drums amongst the song too , but the drums
YES!!! I agree with Nick 100%--Lindsey Buckingham is one of the best guitarists around. I could listen and watch him play for hours on end. A great piece of his work should be reviewed/reacted to is "I'm So Afraid" from the live album THE DANCE. (Yes, there is a video) That guitar solo is very thoughtful and methodic. I hope to see it sometime on the channel!
Lindsey was and still is seriously underrated...my 2 favorite FWM songs are Christine songs, You Make Loving Fun and Say You Love Me.
Best band ever , this album sold I think the most ever rock album
Best solo finishing a song ever…..
Please guys, react to Liliac, Enter Sandman, your going to love these young group of brother an sisters and man, they rock guys. Shout out from the 606 in Monticello, Ky.
The Chain is a must!😁💜
In no particular order, here are three more Fleetwood Mac songs for you: "Rhiannon", "Gold Dust Woman", and "Landslide."
You will love this live.
Ah the songs of my youth. Thank you.
Next do "You Make Lovin' Fun" by them.
Mic Fleetwood is a genius. A master of psychology
Most people recommend The Chain, but on the previous album to Rumours, World Turning is just as good.
Christine McVie wrote some excellent songs too, like You Make Loving Fun, Don't Stop, Hold Me.
The word is Stevie begged Lindsay to not use the "shacking up" line but he refused. Love Lindsay, but that's a dick move. Great song, Lp, and the anger really drives this song.

That wasn't a shaker. It was Stevie playing the tambourine. She does that quite a lot in many of their songs. #teamstevie
@@ArtieFufkin546 Yes, she does play the tambourine when they record. I've watched enough footage of them doing recordings and she is playing it.

Al Stewart, On The Border!! Just one more of his best songs in my opinion.
This song is a classic. 2 iconic songs you should react of theirs is "Everywhere" and "Little Lies".
Rumors is The Perfect Album. ❤
Great cover
This song is AWESOME! They are not on good terms, Stevie was responsible for having Lindsey fired from the group just before they went on tour a couple of years ago. It was an either him or me situation. Checkout Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop", a song written by keyboardist, Christine McVie and sung by Lindsey and Christine.
I love it when Ty smiles.
TEAM LINDSEY all the way!
Mighty Mick on the drums. Awesome
How can you guys not have listened to TUSK? One of Mac's best!
Want to see Lindsey play the guitar? I mean really, really play the guitar? Check out "Big Love". Any live version will work.
Another all time favorite band. For an awesome acoustic song listen to ' Never Going Back Again'. If you liked the drums in this song then check out 'Tusk'. Also like Christine McVie's vocals on 'You Make Loving Fun'.
These guys know their stuff
Drummer of this song was releasing anger
Mick Fleetwood. Underrated big time.
Best album about not one but two relationships going down the drain in the band
LOVE Fleetwood Mac!!!! If you watch Behind the Music or Biography - you will learn a lot!

What is there to say? Genius. Thanks
This album is what was waiting for me in 1977 when I came back from the Peace Corps. Great welcome home present.

Hey guys, I suggest you do a live performance from The Dance 1997. It showcases some of the best of their music.
Love the bass!
i love Rumours but "Tusk" is the Fleetwood Mac's best album!
Yes it is
And 1000% agree on the headphones/earbuds
Singing is Lyndsy Buckingham, back ups , Stevue Nick's, Christine Mcvie
One of the top 5 best albums of all time...they were all breaking up and the songs on this album were written with emotion and hurt....And talent.Something great came out of something bad.Watch if you can ,Lindsay Buckingham,play complex guitar riffs with no pick.
listen to a live version..solo lasts a lot longer. LIVE version of I'm So Afraid will blow you AWAY
They're still friends even today they said in a documentary about Stevie nicks that they are closer and get along way better than they did as a couple
2nd vid watched today and 11th overall….love this song. But count me as team Lindsey even though Stevie was smokin’! Thanks again.

Mick Fleetwood admits he never mastered the reggae style drum part Lindsey wanted on this song.
Can’t go wrong with any song from this album
This song was used in the movie titled 'CASINO'
Stevey Nicks was all us guys dream
Like Boston, this album is top shelf from first to last.
I suppose it changes depending on the time, but Hold Me is prob my favorite…something about Lindsay and Christine in that song with the piano intro…
