People think Taylor Swift is genius for writing about her bad relationships. Stevie not only wrote about her bad relationship, but made the guy she was writing about sing it. THAT is genius 🤣😂🤣😂
Lindsey returned the favour with ‘packing up and shacking up’ from Go Your Own Way, so I think he wins, hands down
Perhaps the best thing that could be said about it is, such amazing timeless music was the product of turbulent relationships.
Came here to say this! 🤣 🤣 🤣
If not for Lindsey bringing her ideas to life, it might never have happened.
Beat me to it.
This is not only a break up song, this whole album is a break up album. Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham broke up and a married couple in the band, John and Christine McVie broke up. The entire album is a break up album. And one of the biggest selling albums ever.
All 5 members of Fleetwood Mac were getting divorced during the making of this album and it almost didn't get made. Mic Fleetwood was also getting divorced from his wife during this time, well as the McPhees and Stevie and Lindsay. Rumors is an awesome album of what it's like to break up with your significant other.
The album came out I believe in 1977.
The chains is each couple's marriage, the running in the shadows is the affairs that each member had during that 2 year span of the previous tour and the making of the album.
You forgot Mick Fleetwood and his Wife Breaking up to.
@@jeffreyskyberg6573 And Mick briefly shacking up with Stevie, but putting that aside to get the album made.
Pain sells lol
@@swcoder true
Lex has a good instinct for music. I can see her organic appreciation of good music, and how she really feels the music in all of the videos I've watched of Brad & Lex. Much respect.
TRUE!
Lex has a very intrinsic feel for music, seemingly from any era. She "feels" what the music is trying to say. Unlike Brad. Brad is much more on the practical side, and is more into the lyrics to get the "message" of the song.
True soul for sure, feels it all.
Yeah and Brad couldn’t be more uptight!
This was their commitment song as a band. They had two volitile relationships within the band and if any of them broke up, which they did often, they had to commit to not breaking up with the band. There was intense drama coming from that band since they ALL wrote songs and they'd write spite songs about each other that they all had to sing. That emotion was all real. Any chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. Don't break the chain. No one can be weak. No one can quit the band. That's what it meant.
Great explanation! I hope they saw this.
oh everybody was fuckin each other!?
glad someone has it right.
I can't begin to tell you guys how HUGE Fleetwood Mac was in the mid 70's. I was ten and eleven years old at that time. When I first heard their music I thought I was in Heaven.
Massive band!!!
There were in The Late 1960s in The UK, as well, until the 3 original guitarists all left around the same time.
Peter Green who headed the Band which was called " Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac got too high on LSD. Danny Kirwan became a drunk and Jeremy Spencer joined a Californian Cult, while on Tour, and this Blues Band re-invented themselves as a Transatlantic Band with Stevie and Lindsey.
I was 11 as well and I got this album for Christmas that year.
@@yuriybezmenov7571 we are old, but we grew up with the absolute BEST music!
1977. This album is perfect. It was #1 for 31 weeks and is one of the biggest sellers ever. Absolutely fantastic.
I listen to Rumors at least once a week
Someone should give Brad and Lex their own radio or tv show. Lex feeds off Brad and she has a brilliant instinct for music, her enthusiasm is infectious.
Brad would be fired within minutes
Lex feeds off Brad? Brad is in a constant state of confusion and looking to put songs in boxes. Lex is the complete opposite and feels the music in her soul. Unfortunately Brad never gets it, gets it wrong and poor Lex nods in agreement but you can see she's thinking, "nope you're wrong", just to avoid embarrassing him, again, and again...
"the sound is so different"
Exactly what's missing from today's popular music.
The lament of the ages.
yeah, this was mainstream radio rock back then
@@ugaladh Wouldn't you consider this Soft Rock?? 🤗🙂
@@rhondamcbath6279 Rumours is in a category by itself. Seminal.
Artists don't seem to take risks anymore. They used to experiment and try different things. If a song was a failure and nobody bought it then they would try a different idea.
These days they don't seem to take risks and don't try new things. They have a formula that works so they release the same stuff over and over and over again. I don't know if it's the record labels pressuring them to make risk-free guaranteed hits or if it's the artists getting lazy?
Electronic sounds don't help. Some artists have never even seen a real instrument before. In the old days, a drummer, guitarist, and other musicians tried different things and let the music take them somewhere. They played from the soul. How can an electronic instrument on a computer let an artist play from the soul?
Fleetwood Mac's album "Rumours" has sold 40 million copies. So there are plenty of hits for you to discover if you want. The band was actually started in 1967 and still is active.
Stay im the uk charts for 433 weeks and American charts for 130.... What a band
Not only active, tickets to a Fleetwood Mac concert still cost a pretty penny.
@@loudharley6926 It isn't Fleetwood Mac without Peter or Lindsey. Last tour was a joke.
Thanks to tic To , they are back, 50 years later
love watching Lex get more and more hyped listening to a song
Lex has the energy we all wish the world had.
Lex is needed at all parties. She would keep us having fun.
Me too!
I could totally hang out with Lex and flood her with some cool music. Just an "old" lady's opinion. Lolol..Rock on young people!🤘
She usually gets it
6:00 to 6:58, one of the best minutes of music ever created.
The thing I really love about Fleetwood Mac, is all their songs are different. So many groups fall into one sound.. Fleetwood is a journey.
For "Journey" and the "Eagles" they too had this kind of different you know, their music & songs had many different sounds. 🎶🎶🎶
Listen to yourself
I would love to see your reaction to Fleetwood Mac's Rhiannon, live 1976. You will love it.
Yes a must!!
Yes!! Stevie let's loose on that one. She was so coked up in that performance, but she was fantastic!
And Gold Dust Woman live in Japan
My favorite song by them! Stevie’s unfiltered vocals on this live performance are unmatched
Live, Always Better👍 Was at the Rumors Tour 😁Years ago in Phoenix lol with Christopher Cross 🤔😁
Here's are a couple of Fleetwood Mac songs recommend:
Dreams, Go Your own way, Gypsy.
Landslide
"Rhiannon" for the win.
Don’t Stop, Tusk
Songbird is another good song.
And Little Lies.
This is in the second “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie. Awesome tune. The entire “Rumours” album is an absolute classic and one of the biggest selling albums ever
In the UK this song - at least the ending when the bass kicks in - was used as the intro for Formula 1 motor racing ! Gave this song a whole knew live ! Kids loved it even though they did not know the whole song ! Rumours is one of the best selling albums ever !
It's still used for the BBC's radio/podcast/online coverage!
I can't hear this without expecting Murray Walker to start talking excitedly about Alain Prost and Nigel Mansell.
Knew that part of song long before heard rest of it and knew of Fleetwood Mac
I remember visiting a Hi-Fi shop with a friend who was looking to buy some new equipment. In the listening room they had a system using a Linn deck, he shied away and asked me to put something on. I noticed that "Rumours" was in the record selection and that he had no clue as to who FM were. I selected "The Chain". The track started, not much response until the break. By the time the second bass note had finished he exclaimed "...it's bloody Murray Walker...".
Sunday afternoons BBC, Murray, a roast and screaming V10’s!!
Oh! For the simple times of my teen years ignoring doing homework!!😂
This will forever be the intro music to formula 1 for me. The BBC used it for years, and there was a fan effort to bring it back as the intro music on tv. The Bass/guitar solo section is fire.
Please don't ruin the band with a gobsmacked sport with hybrids. F1 stopped existing after 2014
The female lead singer is Stevie Nicks, She went solo but she still played with the band I think. One of my favorite Solo songs of hers "Edge of seventeen!!! (1981) highly recommend!!
Love stevie nix
Yeah basically anything Fleetwood Mac or Stevie nicks in general is golden.
Kristy McVie had a solid solo album and Lindsey's solos are pretty good as well.
Christine McVie actually fronted more songs than any other singer through the history of Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey Buckingham being second and Stevie being third. But Stevie definitely had the better solo career, and definitely has the most followers.
Just like the white wing dove!
This is the only Fleetwood Mac song credited to all five members of their 1977 lineup. Since various pieces were assembled to make the song, they all had some contribution.
This song came to represent the resilience of Fleetwood Mac and the strength of their bond as they continued on for many years despite their personal and professional difficulties. It was often the first song they played in concert
Every member contributed to this song which was a little different than usual. There were basically 3 songwriters: Stevie, Lindsey & Christine.
Stevie & Lindsey were falling apart & John & Christine McVie were also splitting up. Yet, they ALL made a conscious decision to keep the band together (chain keep us together) even tho every member was pursuing their own path emotionally, some were seeing other people outside the relationships (running in the shadows). This song became their signature concert opener. It signified the sacrifices they all made to keep the band together regardless of how they felt about working together….and it made for some amazing lyrics (Stevie & Lindsey especially)
This band has been a staple in my collection since the mid 70s.
Tons of hits by Fleetwood!
"GYPSY" is one of my favorites for sure
Lex is an old rock and roll soul. I’m convinced.
THE CHAIN
The song was literally spliced together from combinations of several previously rejected materials. The song originally represented the internal fractures - both romantically and professionally - of the band members, but eventually came to symbolize their triumph in staying together.
Love seeing Lex get into the music!! She listens & just gets it!! It doesn't get much better than Stevie Nicks & Fleetwood Mac!! Y'all should definitely react to more of their songs!! I love y'alls reactions!!!
Classic Rock- the lead singer and guitarist were in a relationship that didn’t end well… but made one hell of an album! “Rumors”
I have their completely cd box set!!
Rumors is brilliant.
@@kauswekazilimani3736 You could pick any song off this album to react to and it would be fantastic!
@@lrsrosebud What do you think of Mirage?
@@kauswekazilimani3736 I still like “Rumors” better but my favorite tracks off “Mirage” are “Love in Store” and “Hold Me”.
I've seen them in concert. Great show. They have 3 lead singers and any of them can carry a song lyrically.
The genre is simply called „Perfect Music“.
So there
Fantastic song from one of the greatest bands in Rock music history!
That bass riff is so simple but so damn good
Fleetwood Mac is a legendary group
I never tire of Lex's reaction to the intensity of music. Thank you.
It's the male dullard sitting next to her that's the issue
Weirdly enough Stevie is a HUGE part of American Horror Story Coven. Their music really suits the tone of the show.
Get it Lex!!! Love you and how genuine your reactions are!!
Love John McVee's base during the last part of the song. He keeps playing it and it just makes the song that much richer. You will keep going, right? Have you done "Dreams" yet? That very famous one is making its rounds again through the younger generation.
I love that I grew up on this music in the late late 70's and early early 80"s
Yes me too, we definitely were blessed to have experienced those days 🤔
Love Lexis vibe and innocent learning of earlier classic songs 💗👍
"chain keep us together" is the lie, "running in the shadows" was the reality
Not really a lie considering how long they held together despite all the relationship issues that took place with each of them. That's why the band co-wrote it. About their bond despite the shadows.
@@Mike_Daddy Its a double+ metaphor ingeniously written by Stevie. Her and Lindsey had a "chain", John and Christine had a "chain", Stevie and Mick had a fling and the band as a whole had a "chain" that kept them all together through all of it. Maybe because they loved the music, maybe because they needed money for more cocaine. Either way it led to one of the greatest songs ever and a perfect analogy for the Fleetwood Mac era.
@@vetteguy1985 Lyrics don't impress me.
@@Mike_Daddy Don’t comment on lyrics then, LOL
@@daviebananas1735 My comment was of the band's unity, not lyrics. A shame you missed that.
Stevie Nicks had the best voice ever back then
Great reactions! This album (Rumours) won the Grammy for album of the year in 1977. Sold over 10 million copies within a month of it’s release and over 40 million total. Lots of personal drama went into this album as the two couples in the band had broken up.
I saw them that album tour
We all had eight track back-in-the-day riding around with nothing to Fleetwood Mac Rumours everybody had it
You should listen to this entire album, it is one of the greatest albums of all time. No exaggeration.
Love how branched out you guys have become in your reactions.
Always entertaining!
This was my mama's music.. I dig it ..this was one of theirsI really liked
Your mama has good taste, sweetpea.
My original introduction to Fleetwood Mac was their 1968 "single" (Albatross) which is not a song but a piece of music. It was both mesmerizing/haunting & relaxing, thanks to that I looked out for any future work of theirs. Many, many wonderful songs followed & the discovery of Stevie Nicks as a lead vocalist extraordinaire. I hope you enjoy exploring them as much as I have.
“What are we dealing with here?”
A band full of people hooked on drugs, breaking up, falling apart and then three different music fragments from different band members coming together to create an Epic song about relationships. The rest of the album covers similar ground but this track goes right into it…
Lindsey Buckingham is low key one of the guitar GOATs...
Only 1 guitar on this INSANE
He is one of the most underrated Guitarist of all time. His style of playing is epic.
@@bb47ishere amen took me 40 years to realize it
This sounds like the hollow body guitar I mean banjo.
Landslide is another good one
its a LANDSLIDE
Geez! When Lex is on, she is on! Great band and a great song. She will always be the Gypsy Queen.
This is the exact vibe Fleetwood Mac gives me too! It’s what I imagine the 70’s sounded like💯
Classic song, classic album.
Lex is always rocking. Try "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac.
If you know the back story on this song then you must watch the live version, the energy of hatred on the stage sent volumes through the stadium and made the performance a masterpiece
One of the best parts about F Mac is how Lindsay's and Stevie's intertwined and wrapped around each other's voices, almost becoming a whole new voice.
Lex has the energy, Brad has the analysis. Perfect duo. Love y'all
That's the ticket! Big potential.
This comment deserves more love honestly. They are like the 2 sides of my split personality!
Except that it was Lex who nailed the genre and picked up on the nuances of the style and sound. And later picking up that they were askign/hoping for "the chain" to keep them together despite adversity. Spot on with her analysis. She really is underappreciated in how she does that. In so many songs, I'm amazed how she picks up on nuances so easily and quickly with new bands or different songs.
@@Frostrazor That's a really great point. Lex also inherently knew this music she was unfamiliar with, was post-hippie, pre-disco era, which was AMAZING!!
One of my favorite songs! Love how Lex grooves. Doesn’t hurt that’s she’s beautiful and charming as well!
Those vocal harmonies still give me the chills many listens since the first hearing.
The breakdown is theme music they use for Formula 1 coverage in the UK.
It has been legendary for as long as I can remember!
To understand this 1977 song and the Fleetwood Mac album 'Rumours'... u gotta know the history of the band:
Fleetwood Mac was formed in the 1960's in England as a blues rock band feat. Mick Fleetwood (drums), John McVie (bass) & Peter Green (guitar)... However, the band was unstable and by 1974, they had a number of records, Peter Green had quit the band after having a mental breakdown, and the band which also featured John's wife Christine McVie (organ & vocals) relocated to L.A. and were looking for a new guitarist.
They came across a record by a duo called Buckingham-Nicks which featured guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and his gf Stevie Nicks on vocals... the record did not sell, but Lindsey Buckingham became an on-demand guitarist - he was asked to join Fleetwood Mac, and he accepted only if Stevie came along too. Fleetwood Mac was reborn in 1975 when the self-titled album was released, featuring songs (and vocals) by Christine McVie, Stevie Nicks & Buckingham... it became a massive hit. But w/ fame & fortune came drugs, egos and conflicts.
When Fleetwood Mac began recording the next album 'Rumours', John & Christine had separated and Christine was dating someone in the band's crew... Lindsey & Stevie were fighting all the time and split up as the songs were being written & recorded - so the lyrics that came out were very emotional and real. The couples' break-ups and afterwards having to work together and see each other every day was a very painful situation... even Mick Fleetwood's wife left him around that time.
Lindsey Buckingham wrote "Go your own way" and "Second hand news" about Stevie... She wrote "Dreams" & "I don't want to know" about Lindsey... (Christine McVie wrote "You make loving fun" and "Don't stop" about her new relationship after her split)
"The Chain" started as a ballad written by Stevie Nicks... but this final version was credited to every member of the band, who added their parts. The song refers to the situation of breaking up but still tied together because of the band.
When the album 'Rumours' was released in 1977, it became one of the biggest albums in music history - right next to Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'... AC/DC's 'Back in black'... Led Zeppelin's fourth album... The Eagles' "Hotel California" ... In fact, it made the charts AGAIN today, after a Tiktok video went viral w/ the song 'Dreams' playing in the back.
Despite their rocky relationship thru the years, Lindsey & Stevie seemingly put their animosity aside to work together in Fleetwood Mac in 1997. But in 2017, Stevie demanded that Lindsey be fired for the band to continue touring (he was replaced by 2 live guitarists) Christine McVie left the band in 1999... but was welcomed back in 2014. She & her ex-husband John seem to be on better terms today.
Don't forget Silver Springs. That is the ultimate FU song Stevie sang to Lindsey live.
You wanna know what this album, and a LOT of Fleetwood Mac songs, are all about? Watch the live version of “Silver Spring” from their “The Dance” show. Watching Lindsey and Stevie staring at each other during the crescendo of that song is a perfect example of their relationship.
The live version is really good, but the original version that got left off the Rumours album were Stevie's vocals at their best.
@@MusicFan1977 I like the studio version more, for sure…but the visual, visceral rawness seeing them staring into each other’s eyes, all those years later. Powerful stuff.
@@MattKrogmeier Can't argue that.
Oh man, you really feel it when she delivered that "never get away, never get away" !
Cracks me up every time I watch it, the 🔥🔥🔥🔥 shooting out of Stevie's eyes at Lindsay 🤣
I was raised on this. It speaks to my soul through nostalgia but also life experiences. My mother is a feeling person and we were raised on all kinds of emotional music. Its one of the things she definitely got right. 🙌🏻💜
They were together from 1967-1995. Stevie is an AWESOME singer, her voice is one of my favs for female singers.
You HAVE to listen to "Dreams" by these guys!
And Rhiannon
And "Gold Dust Woman"...I think we all could just really keep listing a bunch of songs...there's a long list
Got to watch Stevie live version of anything… esp back in the day…
When they do this song live.. they will keep it going for like 5 mins in a frenzie… it’s awesome
Gold Dust Woman is a banger. A lot of Heartache and emotions went into this album. Lindsay had to sing songs Stevie wrote about him
Thank you Lex for appreciating our generation of music
You guys are the best. Brad is all about the lyrics, which is cool, & Lex just feels all the music. Love it! Tool is my favorite band ;)
Wow, you just listened to one of the greatest bands of all time, amazing tune, more Fleetwood Mac please, I'd recommend "reahnon" or" go your own way" beautiful songs with real depth, cheers guys.
This is a powerful album from start to finish! It was album of the year that year! And this music & lyrics still hold up to today. There was a lot of intermingling "shadows" "relationships" amongst the existing relationships within this band. This album expresses that volatile & sultry dynamic! One of my favorite albums of ALL TIME!
The kind of song you listen to over and over and over…… till 2022 and on.
Here in the UK, the bass solo was the intro music for televised Formula 1 racing (1980's), for years as a kid I never knew what the song was called or whom the band was, great song though! Thanks for the reaction!
Thats exactly what I was thinking. I was expecting Murray Walker to come on next!! Go, go, go!! Rip Murray....
My F1 💕🏁🏁🏁
"What ganre of music are we dealing with here"? Good music.
I just noticed that I misspelled genre. Ouch.
Rock
@@hgianos65 I'll stick with my answer. Fuck genres. Though if we do go with genres there probably are different genres of fucking as well. A pondering point.
Watching this perform this live on their concert, the dance is amazing, it was 20+ years after the original but probably 20 years ago… They are timeless
I love the way you both hit it on the head. Him with the break up song statement and her identifying the era and style. This song is next level amazing!
Just discovered you guys. I really appreciate your interpretation of my favorite Fleetwood Mac song. Keep up the good work.
Yes. It's classic rock. 70s. You listening to actual Rock Legends.
Lindsey is soooo good! Guitar and vocals! Love him.
The story behind the making of this track is amazing. Has been my favorite FM song since the first time I heard it.
Classic….they are hitmakers now for years.This is off of one of the greatest albums ever “ Rumours”,which they wrote when they were breaking up.At the time Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks were married,and Christine and John McVie were getting divorced,so I like to say that “ Emotions wrote this classic album”.The songs have a prevailing theme.The Chain here represents the band itself.
Fleetwood Mac ..Classic Rock.........Stevie Nicks is their lead singer. She made her own career. The song Edge of Seventeen is definitely worth a listen..
Stevie was a singer in the band, there were three lead singers.
One of the lead singers. Lindsey had the lead here.
Mick Fleetwood (drummer) was actually the leader of this group, and Christie McVie wrote most of their songs and sang lead vocals on some as well. She also had a successful solo career and held everyone together during the emotional turmoil.
Stevie not only wrote about her bad relationship, but made the guy she was writing about sing it. THAT is genius
This is a rabbit hole, they have so many great songs.
True that!!
Lindsey Buckingham is one of the most underrated guitarist. I seen them live and he was amazing. Never uses a pick, just his fingers.
The chain is the band. Two couples in the band broke up just before working on this album. So the chain (the band) is keeping them together, but they're "running" from each other emotionally.
Man you really need to listen to a live performance of this. The guitar solo is much longer , goes harder, and watching Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckinham sing this while straight mean mugging each other the entire time (this is about their breakup) is intense AF
Let's not forget about Christie Mcvie on the song "Songbird"
LOL'd like crazy at the 4:30 mark, give or take, when Lex guessed at 70's for the vibe...I sat here and said " Damn, she is good ! " lol
True story. I first head of Fleetwood Mac at about midnight on watch on a US Navy Destroyer (USS Turner Joy DD-951 -- (famous ship, Google it) one night in the Indian Ocean in 1975. (A few days later we almost went live fire with a Soviet Cruiser, a matter of historical fact, and a moment for which I was recognized by the fleet because it was me who discovered the Soviets in our multi-national fleet vicinity.) But that night on watch at about 2:00 a.m. I first heard Fleetwood Mac's White Album. Absolutely blown away! First song was Christine McVie. Opened my eyes to this band. I was in the Indian Ocean 2,000 miles from any land at that moment. Fast forward, two years.... Fleetwood Mac has introduced the Rumors album. I was still in Navy and in my US home port San Diego. Fleetwood Mac was having a 1-night only concert in San Diego. But that same night I was scheduled for duty. No way I could go to their concert as I had duty that Friday night. But... freaking me out to this day... about 4:00 pm that day my command Chief came to me and said I was being transferred to another duty station that Monday, so I could leave early for the Friday. Incredible! I ran to change into civilian clothes (not uniform) and drove over to San Diego Sports Arena to see if I could still l get tickets for Fleetwood Mac that night. At the ticket booth they told me, "You are lucky! There are 7 tickets left!" So, I bought one, went in. This was about 2 hours before the concert was due to start. and watched a 4-hour concert that blew me away! Three encores including the last one with Mick Fleetwood, shirtless and shoeless playing a ten-minute bongo solo! Now... here is the part that is going to absolutely blow your minds!!!!! Fast-forward to 1989. My wife (at the time) happens to call in middle of night to local Los Angeles TV station and wins visit with Fleetwood Mac live on air that next Friday night!!!! So I go!!!!! I meet the band in person! Talk with all of them face-to-face in person!!! I tell Steve Nix my entire whole story above in person!! She cries!!!! She thanks me for my service to this country and kisses me on the cheek!!!! I have pics which I will dig up and send later but OMG what a story!!!!!!
Can’t wait for you guys to find Lynyrd Skynyrd
Omg Freebird live
YESSS
I love watching your reactions for the 2 different approaches you take to music. Lex goes with the feelings and Brad goes into the lyrics. As a child of the 70's and 80's I recommend not taking the lyrics as literally as music today... it tended to be more like poetry set to music... and a lot of songs were written on drugs lol.
Literally, singing hurt/love/anger songs at each other, about each other with each other.
"Rumours" was a hell of a record for a soap opera of a rock group.
One fo the biggest alums of all time. This song is peak Fleetwood Mac for me. One of the best ever made,
Lol at classic rock, it's just rock, perhaps soft rock. Classic rock is something made up decades later as a marketing term for radio stations. All those bands lumped under that label still fall into the same genres artists do today. BTW, the song is about the two couples in the group ending their romantic relationships but not wanting to end their personal and professional relationships.
I've noticed a lot of reaction channels getting hung up on pigeon-holing groups; nailing down genres. It's like, hey - it's all good. Rock is a big tent - there's room for lots of different styles and sounds. The important question is: do you ENJOY what you're listening to?
Not decades later. It was made up in the 80s. You're right about the marketing for radio stations
I thought it was AOR, adult orientated rock.
Far as I'm concerned, what makes any rock "classic" is if you keep going back to it, time after time, listen after listen. Nothing hard and fast about it; classics are just the stuff that stands the test of time on the sheer quality.
@@RickJaeger I just call that music I like. There's no 'music I like' radio stations around. Lots of 'classic rock' stations though. In the 80's 'classic rock' stations played music from the 60's and 70's. Now they play music from the 60's to 90's. They're too hung up on genres but classic rock isn't a genre.
If y'all haven't heard any Tom Petty... It's good to be king. Such a good song.
Honestly one of the greatest bands of all time.
People will have different opinions, but for me this is the single most iconic piece of guitar of all time.
The bass solo going into the guitar solo is sooo good, it’s like drugs for your ears.
I always get the impression that Lex is always into this new music but Brad never seems to be....always has a sour look on his face like he just doesnt get it and Lexi just groovin away...
BTW, Landslide would be your next obvious song if you haven't done it yet. Tusk is pretty fun too.
It’s got no guitar solo… next minute, an awesome guitar solo.
Lindsay Buckingham easily in the top 20 best guitarists of all time.
HIT IT LEX THAT BASS RIFF IS THE ULTIMATE USED ON F1 START
I love how Brad keeps saying "What are we dealing with here?". Cracks me up.
Ok.... You NEED to do "Rhiannon" live on the Midnight Special '76!! All 5 members of Fleetwood Mac shine in that performance and Stevie Nicks (lead singer) freaking GOES OFF towards the end!! Fleetwood Mac are legendary and their lead singer, Stevie Nicks is the only woman ever to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame TWICE!! Once with F.M. and once for her solo album "Bella Donna"..... From her solo album check out "Edge Of Seventeen" (you may've heard it somewhere in your travels)... it's iconic!! The Official music video is film of a live performance.... Looking forward to a Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks journey with ya!!
SIDE NOTE: Hope you do start (You talked about it in your livestream last night) a dive into the works of Chris Cornell with his bands: Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple Of The Dog and his solo works and covers EX: his acoustic performance and rendition of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" cover.... He took MJ'S simple Pop song and turned it into a whole other beast!!! It'll give you GOOSEBUMPS!!! ;)
That is a great version of the song.
BTW... just found you guys in my thumbnails about 3-4 weeks ago (I subbed, after your T.M. "Snowflakes" reaction)..... love your vibe and reactions and, Lex, you freaking rock girl!!! ;)
Yes RHIANNON! Best song ever. Not just because of my name but also because Stevie wrote the song before she found out there is an actual myth of the Celtic Goddess Rhiannon that is pretty dang close to the story line
