I love the way she came to life and her eyes lit up at the mention of MTV.. Stevie is as much of a music fan as she is a superstar.. she’s just one of us at heart, which is what makes her so endearing and enduring. 23 years later and then Stevie couldn’t have imagined just how strong she is! And that she’d be back on stage and rocking into her ‘70’s.
This is when my friend James Hillis Ford was around her a few times. They made perfume oils for each other...he said she was still there...caring, sad, lonley, afraid...and a doctor had her on so much tranquilizers. He said if someone really needed her she would even leave in the middle of her concert.
Love how her eyes go from real dull throughout really, to so animated and glowing when she sings that tune from her childhood around 1.15, mentions Henley and MTV at the end. Very cool. Thanks.
Such a sad and phony reply. She was so much worse off here than she was during the cocaine years. I knew back then she was on something but I assumed she had returned to cocaine. Didn't realize it was tranquilizers.
@@GabiFOliv If you want to see her during probably during her heaviest use of coke, watch the TUSK documentary/concert or even the RED ROCKS dvd. Actually, I'm really surprised that the sober Stevie hasn't pulled the RED ROCKS off the shelves. She was a mess; she was the same when I saw her during that tour---probably worse---in Los Angeles. Oddly, she had gained quite a few pounds on coke. Perhaps she was drinking too?
@@vwgolf6487 She carried on using coke for 6 months before she went to Betty Ford - I've seen and read in a couple of places - and as moderately as she could (not via the nose though) as she had concerts booked and couldn't do them straight before rehab. That probably accounts for the weight gain. What I find so upsetting is how most folks seem to think she intentionally latched on to another addiction post coke, when the reality was it was an unethical shrink - totally star struck, who just wanted the "scoop" on the latest from the inside - and key getting her in to prescribe/increase her klonopin dosage. She didn't know what she was getting into and he incapacitated her for 8 years, until she couldn't remember when last she'd taken one, she was so zonked out (let alone write a song). Just sat around watching TV and ordering take outs. Folks like him in that profession should be disbarred. Clearly.
Boy you can tell the Klonopin is wrecking her usual persona. She's still articular and a great story teller, but you see she how zombified she is on that stuff...or actually on that HUGE dose of that stuff.If that "Dr" had never increased her dose above a small dose (No more than a .50 per day, (Despite her actually never needing any of it at all) it would have not stolen all those years from her.
RedRusty66 - Just because a doctor prescribes it doesn’t mean you have to take it! You know how it makes you feel so take responsibility for yourself.. I had a doctor prescribe that to me around ‘97.. I knew it wasn’t for me!
Love Stevie but I she was so low & on those damn tranquilizers she never needed ! Yes some need them, not our Lady Stevie!!! Love her fashion sense,those chandelier style earrings,are cool af. Stevie Nicks is a fighter.Loved the Sara Lee pound cake reference & drugs. She's correct. Very wise beyond her years,forever an old soul I'm an old soul too that's why I connect w her🔮🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
She seems so lifeless here. She must have been on a pretty high dose. She said she took it 5 times a day and kept increasing the dose. Klonopin saved my life. I have been on a small dose for 28 years and have never asked for an increase. I never abused illegal drugs. Don't Judge people.
@David Jones It is meant for therapeutic treatment. That is why I have on it so successfully, It has changed my life immensely, same dose, sometimes I forget my afternoon dose. I never got high off of it. I have ad anxiety disorder since I was 11yo. I started on Klonopin after a post partum psychosis. It was the first relief I had in 20 years. I prefer Alcohol for a buzz, but do regret the hangover 🤕🤢🤢🤢🥵🤒
Stevie didn't ask for the increases. The doctor would just give it to her and keep increasing it... Got to the point where she got a friend to come and stay with her and take the same amount she was when she was supposed to take it. He said he almost died. Could not believe how drugged up she was etc....so that is when she decided to seek help to come off of it.
@@TheRealCharnley My dose was increased too, but I didn't take it. I knew better. They just dropped me from 4 to 3 mg about a year ago because the Dr. felt like it.. It took me about 8 months to withdrawal from that, it was awful.
Stevie is open about her drug use then shitty klonopin it's hard to get off drugs like that I know it changes who you are to a point were you don't recognize your self she's an amazing lady someone to look up to as a person and my favourite one and only rock goddess she has lived the good and the bad with us left herself bare for all of us to see unless you have gone there your self it's hard to understand what got you to do it in the first place people's personal lives I get it very much it's so easy to judge harder a lot harder to understand
Of course like all good drug addicts she lies (in the beginning we all do) about her length of sobriety. And I mean from coke because she clearly is loaded on Klonopin here but she got clean in 1987 this interview is 1991 so that is NOT seven years of sobriety. But I am so glad she's clean now. I used EVERYTHING and I consider benzos/tranqs one of the worst. It just makes you so FLAT. I hated it!!!
Your a shell just a numb shell of a person its like they attack your very soul you cant think and are void of any emotion and you so sadly at the time think it is a great place to be your tired all the time then you dont sleep for days its the doctors faults for solving every problem with a pill thats easy to do its not them taking them is it
She probably thought that since her doctor was prescribing it for her, that she wasn't on drugs like what the interviewer was talking about... They were talking about the coke.
She looks doped up and very unhappy. When Fleetwood Mac played in the UK on the BTM tour she just dialled in her performances and not long afterwards she made the statement about there being no Fleetwood Mac without Lindsey before leaving herself. Having been on painkillers myself you do just become a zombie although I was more 'high' than miserable.
I know Stevie is on Klon here by now but fucken hell...this interviewer isn’t helping matters either. Other rockstars would have probably walked out or passed out from boredom already. Sheesh.
She was downered on klonopin here not on coke she didn't ever fix the tiny hole in her nose because she thought it would change her voice your voice gets deeper as you get older your range and key both change
I'm confused ..I .why would a dr.just put her on kolonopin ...she was probably taking valium to come down off the cocaine n was addicted to both But no matter what ....she's still Stevie Nicks and I have n will always love n admire her Her beautiful poetry is what made the songs if Fleetwood Mac ...if you listen to Buckingham n mc vie today their lyrics are nothing compared to hers theirs is childsplay lil kiddie fied sings

She’s a little hypocritical when she state’s how special her relationship was with Don Henley yet she openly speaks of the abortion she had when she was pregnant with his child. She even goes on to say in other interviews that “Sara” was to be the baby’s name in the event that baby was a girl. This was her inspiration for her song “Sara”, (in her own words.) Don’t get me wrong no judgment being placed. Not getting political by any means here. Just find her a little confusing and may be a little Self absorbed. don’t get me wrong, sure she was young, beautiful, talented, gMay be a little self-absorbed but who wouldn’t be. It’s told she was upset with Henley for coming out publicly with that information but I r she did the same thing. Imo. This is all my own opinion on this so nothing is set in stone except that I find Stevie full of herself at times. I’m sorry if you’re egg I offend anyone but again, just my personal opinion.
Such a shame that right after this period of time her career took a nosedive, not because of anything she did or didn’t do but because hip-hop and grunge really blew up
Yikes! But she’d have 4 abortions, (1 of them being Don Henleys baby), then shamelessly talked about it, all this after heartlessly dumping Lyndsey Buckingham, (don’t forget without him she’d never have been so successful), but sure she’s one hell of a gal! Okay……

"I would not buy a smashed $60,000 guitar if it belonged to Benjamin Franklin." Classic! I love this woman.
My all time #1 favorite quote after watching this
haha
Classic drug induced interview.
Not only does it take a couple of bitcoins, it would take up space in the house.
@@dianaford7635 Oh man, totally. It really shows in her blank eyes.

He said if someone really needed her she would even leave in the middle of her concert.
Poor Stevie I’m soo glad she’s free from her addictions. Goddess.
I think this recorded during a sad time in her life. Thank God she's clean and healthy now.
I saw on another interview she was on a lot of prescription pills at this time period of her life
Love how her eyes go from real dull throughout really, to so animated and glowing when she sings that tune from her childhood around 1.15, mentions Henley and MTV at the end.
Very cool. Thanks.
Look at her eyes change at 3:50 or so when they ask her about rock n roll excesses. It's haunting.
omg

sarah me too
My Queen Rock on forever and ever
i sounds that she is not happy at all! poor stevie i love her with all my heart
Shut up. She's BRILLIANT...dope or no dope.
She just sang that song so flawlessly without any accompaniment. Pure talent high or not.

klonopin kills, she is a walking miracle in surviving that drug and there is a special place in hell for that death merchant who prescribed it!
Turn up the bloody audio!!!
shes toast in this interview.
In most of her interviews she expands a lot she consisted to just saying yes and no, poor Stevie u can tell the 80s were rough for her.
Urgh I've been on klonopin before surprised she could stay awake
She’s got no light in her eyes
Honestly, being high myself right now.....the questions she was being asked were making me drowsy also

She started using klonopin in her 40's, she got clean from COKE in 1987.
muffin6369 - Exactly! Which is why I was smart enough to take myself off of it.. I don’t pass the blame..
She probably thought that since her doctor was prescribing it for her, that she wasn't on drugs like what the interviewer was talking about... They were talking about the coke.
@@donnamaciver2093 yep amen!!!
Klonopin daze
When she asked about the king & queen of MTV, I thought Stevie would name artists like Michael Jackson & Madonna, not VJ’s.
Oof, this must’ve been during the klonopine days. Glad she’s off that sauce!
She looks like she's falling asleep....she was very exhausted....
She is obviously high here … I just saw her in concert she was great
Where'd you see her?

She’s real high in this interview.
More like real low, numb.
She was on extreme meds at this point though free from coke
She looks like she’s going to fall asleep any minute
Is it wrong for me to say she was much more dynamic performer while coked up?
i’ve been to her shoes now where she’s completely clean and honestly they’re just as good and empowering as her past performances
she had a hole in her nose cavity which changed her voice ...made her sound deeper...can tell she was still using in this video.
She was downered on klonopin here not on coke she didn't ever fix the tiny hole in her nose because she thought it would change her voice your voice gets deeper as you get older your range and key both change
I'm confused ..I .why would a dr.just put her on kolonopin ...she was probably taking valium to come down off the cocaine n was addicted to both
But no matter what ....she's still Stevie Nicks and I have n will always love n admire her
Her beautiful poetry is what made the songs if Fleetwood Mac ...if you listen to Buckingham n mc vie today their lyrics are nothing compared to hers theirs is childsplay lil kiddie fied sings

What do you do to advocate for babies once they’re born, to ensure they’re being raised appropriately? Or do you just care about them being born?
She looks so bad ..ausent..so good she quitted that medication which caused she acted like a zombi..
Kolonopin...eyes. she looks drugged here 😢
Wow, she’s just dead here.
No life in her eyes.
Such a shame that right after this period of time her career took a nosedive, not because of anything she did or didn’t do but because hip-hop and grunge really blew up
She looks so sad in this interview
Yikes! But she’d have 4 abortions, (1 of them being Don Henleys baby), then shamelessly talked about it, all this after heartlessly dumping Lyndsey Buckingham, (don’t forget without him she’d never have been so successful), but sure she’s one hell of a gal! Okay……
Sounds like tabloid nonsense.
Lindsey was abusive at times remember . She was no angel but he could be a cunt to her. She did the right thing
Not your body, not your choice.
No need to guild a lily. :=(
This interview is so boring and Stevie and I know it we are Gems
Terrible questions and shallow interviewer for an artist as deep as SNicks.
She was a zombie. Klonopin took her life from her.
Dazed Light she's still alive
Zombie😢
Wow! She is one grumpy lady.
Lol, how?
She was very high on klonopin and very depressed at this point in her life
