when Stevie said, "It's like looking for love and you never find it" AND LINDSEY COUGHED. Omg lol
What ....
When??
Seriously!
OMG.
Subtle, they are not.
I heard that too.
I noticed that right away ! lol 😂
Lmao, when she repeated "we needed the money"
iLovetoast , because she was the practical one.... she said, she worked crappy jobs to support them while Lyndsey & his friends laid around smoking pot and playing guitar all day.
@@penname40 whats your point? everyone knows that🙄
@@penname40 - True. But Stevie has said she did not want Lindsey working. She wanted him to be perfecting his craft (song and guitar). As crazy as it sounds, Stevie has said she absolutely loved taking care of Lindsey. The fact that they were dirt poor was the issue. Believe it or not, during that period Lindsey did hold some odd/end jobs like he was a house painter for a short spell. The point here, is Stevie absolutely believed in Lindsey and she was going to do whatever it took to see him become successful because she truly loved him. When you examine their beginnings, you begin to understand (for better or worse), why a "bond" between these two still exits.
He went on tour with the Everly Brothers playing guitar and backing vocals
@@penname40 all of that smoking pot all day and playing the guitar all day lead to quite a bit of FM's creativity, that lead directly to the money.
Christine has a lovely warm expression on her face when John refers to Mick being the gel of the band.
Christine looks so beautiful. They all look great but when I say her I was like wow.
I agree. This is one of her best looks through the years.
john wasn't looking bad himself lol
Back when you were happier Lindsey.
I'm so sick and tired of watching you decay in depression when I know you are one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
I would not be the guitarist I am today without YOU
I want the entire world to know how much you mean to me. It's time you were acknowledged as essential.
Dont do anything radical
Love hearing tributes like this. I thank George Harrison & Paul McCartney, Brian Wilson, and this group of 5 for making me the person and musician I am today
And a few weeks later, these two would be literally trying to KILL each other in Christine's house.
That's because by then she stepted with everyone in the band !
Do you mind explaining?
haha shook Lindsey didn’t want to go on tour so Stevie got up and attaked him and then he chased Stevie around Christine’s house and front yard. Stevie ended up running down the street and Lindsey chased after her with his car and caught up to her, When the rest of the band caught up to them Lindsey had Stevie over the hood of his car with his hands around her throat. Mick pulled him off of her and they kicked him out
@@JJ-19874 he quit in 1987
@@JJ-19874 - Sorta true. First, Lindsey was sorta "duped" into making the "Tango in the Night" record. Initially, Lindsey was working on a solo project and he decided to throw both Mick and John a "bone," by letting them play on some of his songs. Mick, the smooth persuader that he is, managed to talk Lindsey into turning the project into a Fleetwood Mac record, which Lindsey admits he let it happen. Second, during the recording of Tango, which was predominantly done at Lindsey's house, Stevie was mostly absent and she was battling a very bad drug addiction. When she did show up, she was was wasted/drunk, so much so, Lindsey had to discard her singing because it was terrible. Instead he used a Fairlight Synth. to piece together Stevie's voice from past songs to incorporate on the album (fucking genius lol). Now, when the album was complete and Stevie returned from rehab, the band did indeed convene at Christine's house to discuss the tour for promoting Tango. That's when Lindsey dropped a "bombshell" and revealed he was quitting the band, which set Stevie off and hence she charged and either tried to or did assault him. I'm not justifying Lindsey's actions or response (choking Stevie) all I'm saying he was indeed provoked. Now, a few months later (04/88), both Stevie and Lindsey would attend Mick's wedding and clearly the two had made amends about the incident because they are pictured together with Stevie "hanging all over" Lindsey and he doesn't appear to mind.
This collaboration of these five hugely talented people have brought so much joy to my life. Each one of them are amazing in their own right. There's no other band I know of that have the staying power and they continue to pack their shows because they are loved. A family of 5 who have been together for almost 50 years is going to have tough times and drama, but they always put the music and fans first and keep the Chain together.
We love you Fleetwood Mac. Can't wait for you to BE BACK !
Stevie broke the chain and then Christine died. They’re never going back again.
Man Christine looks so cool in this video. She was so in sync with the times...
One of my favorite albums of theirs. Lindsey and Christine did the bulk of the work on it, and they're my favorite FM members ❤️🙌🏻
Stevie, said an amazing thing..
I have way too much material to be in a band with 5 members, 3 writers.. .... She needed an outlet..
Absolutely fair enough 👏
Prolific songwriter.
I LIVE for Stevie’s closeups in the Seven Wonders video
Lindsey did not tour for this album because both Stevie and Mick were over the top, PIA drug addicts. He made the right choice.
Mick, yes, but Stevie had just completed a stint in rehab at this point
Also, Lindsey wanted to return to his solo work. After Tango was completed, he never really had intentions of remaining in the band. His songs on Tango were actually the work for his solo album that were “morphed” into the album. Four years later (in 1992), “Out of the Cradle” would be released. Which, IMO displays some of Lindsey’s best work.
And John was having seizures related to his alcoholism around that time, as well. It was only Lindey and Christine for much of the album. A lot of the drums are electronic, a lot of the bass is Lindsey on bass guitar or synth bass, and even some of the "Stevie" sounding vocals are Lindsey on vocoder and tape manipulation.
He literally crafted a Fleetwood Mac record and allowed everyone to put their names on it...he was burnt.
I think Lindsey was more than likely still on drugs in 1986-87. His addiction was never really talked about the way Stevie's was.
@@heaintloveu ironically she was still on drugs even after rehab. Of course that was no fault of her own, the doctors prescribed those drugs. But it's still was a drug problem that she had.
Clock Lyndsey's cough!! Not sure what you wanted Stevie but I've observed you both and Lyndsey without doubt loved you !!
Wow they had been together 20 years in 1987.its liked they've lived 10 lives.
Only John and Mick. LB and Stevie joined in 75
@@pedrojimenez5387 He meant Lindsey and Stevie, I'm thinking.
lol @ lindsey coughing when she spoke of looking for love........
Also, Stevie throwing her eyes in his direction.
@@Buckaroo_Baldwin 2 times. Before he coughed and after.
I also noticed Stevie slightly rocking back and forth while he was talking. The end of that era was definitely close lol
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER FLEETWOOD MAC!!!!
Will always always love Fleetwood Mac my wild Teen days my great wild Teen days
Damn it, Lindsey, couldn't you have quit the band AFTER the Tango In The Night tour was over? People paid money to see those concerts back in 1987!
I think Lindsey had his reasons not to tour you lose the love of you're life, and not to be rude but Stevie has been with alot of guys it had to hurt Lindsey to see that all go down right in front of him and I think Lindsey was ready to be an adult and some of the band still thought it was the 70s with the drugs and drinking so i don't blame Lindsey for not touring he needed his space... But I don't get why there is still a problem to this day with him and Stevie it's water under the bridge let it go forgive just don't forget Lindsey you guys are way to good of a band not to be in the studio making one more album for us real fans i really think there last album should be called the last rumor but i doubt they'll go there to much to live up to and there all to old but I'm hoping for one more album.
Brent R Well, let's face it, Lindsey's solo career never really took off the way that Stevie's did, and 'Big Love' was the only song Lindsey did on that album that hit big. Compare Lindsey's solo album debut 'Law and Order' and his single 'Trouble' to Stevie's chart-topping 'Bella Donna' album and its hit singles 'Edge of Seventeen,' 'Stop Draggin' My Heart Around,' and 'Leather and Lace.' Lindsay's 'Big Love' had a much better chance of hitting as part of a Fleetwood Mac album than on a solo album where it stood a good chance of being forgotten.
And as for the drug use, Lindsey at that point wasn't even hanging around the rest of the band members all that much anymore, and he still could've gone on one more tour before quitting. I think he was just being petulant, but that's just me. When you've made a commitment to a tour and fans have already paid money for tickets, it's very disrespectful and unprofessional to pull out at the last minute.
***** Yeah, but you still don't treat a paying audience like that by pulling out of a tour at the last minute, especially not after having committed to the album, the tour, and the videos. And I do agree with you that whatever Lindsey and Stevie's issues are they should get over it already. He's married and has kids and it's 2016 for Pete's sake.
It was a jerk move for Lindsey to quit after committing to a tour. His rational for this was that life on "the road" was ten times more crazy than the studio. Apparently, the recording of "Tango" was unconventional to say the least. Some of that was Lindsey's doing (recording the album in his home studio), but the rest was primarily on Stevie, and to a lesser degree, Mick. Not sure what Christine did other than bring in a bunch of great songs, two of which became smash hit singles (with Lindsey's help of course). Stevie had supposedly "cleaned up her act." That was wishful thinking. She was barely present for sessions and when she was there, she was sloshed on a combination of tranqualizers/brandy. Combine that with her diva complex and you have a messy situation.
@@44excalibur Lindsey had NOT made a commitment to a tour in 1987. The others were trying to convince him to participate - that's what the meetings they had were all about.
I remember the press conference FM had to have after Lindsay quit the band at this time.....Stevie was livid beyond belief!
2:00 Stevies body language as she listens to Lindsey is "Ok, I'm listening to make sure you tell the truth !
Stunning band members
Stevie Nicks absolutely needed to go solo, she is a unique artist and she needed her own “voice “, but she’ll always be part of Fleetwood Mack.
"Mac"
Stevie and Lyndsey played there feeling through there songs. Landslide was when they were dating and they had a choice to break up but they felt it would hurt the band. Go your own way was Lyndsey to tell Stevie.....
Lindsey, I'm not even done heaping praise upon you.
Your no more lonely nights solo on the wings album is essential.
Like I said, we guitarists that know you are greatness are here if you should call on us.
Thanks, this was a great piece of insight into the beginnings of Fleetwood Mac and the sentiments and views of each person on the band's value when performing together.
Fantastic!! I've never seen this full interview... Thanks
Stevie wrote the most bangers for me. Her solo stuff is also great.
+ Scotch Whisky You overlook that it was Lindsey who was behind the production of the FM sound and polishing lyrics, etc.
Lindsay was the sound.
She gets the vocal and writing credits (lyrics) but much of the heavy lifting (the sound arranged by Lindsey) goes largely uncredited.
Of course Lindsay and the rest of the band were integral to its sound and Stevie wasn’t as competent a musician, she admits this but they said she wrote the most bangers, which I am inclined to agree with, her songs are beautiful. ‘Rhiannon’, ‘Crystal’, ‘Landslide’, ‘Dreams’, ‘Gold Dust Woman’, ‘Silver Springs’, ‘Sara’, ‘Gypsy’, ‘Seven Wonders’
Thank you so muc. I really enjoy watching their old interviews etc. It's all new and rare to me.
the fighting is what fueled the fire & inspired so many great tunes.."go Your own Way", "dreams", big love", "Hold Me" etc..
Love this Great Rock Band!!! 😍😂😀
When MTV was awesome and so were the 80s.
The 80’s sucked. After 1979 the world turned to 💩
Indeed.
Oh, the irony of Christine saying that she didn't see any changes on the horizon. Also, Stevie outright saying what she says in front of Lindsey about her solo career was quite bold. And meanwhile, if I had to guess, Mick was probably stoned when this was taped, based on what I've heard about his condition at the time of Tango. Lindsey bailing weeks before the tour was pretty jerky of him, no lie, but I can understand where he was coming from when he has said that he wanted the band to take a break and get cleaned up.
RIP Christine
Lindsey is the thinking woman's Sex symbol. I mean he was and is not only so handsome but also so intelligent and well spoken. To me he is the focal point of FM. Stevie screwed up not staying with him. What a great guy!! Love you Lindsey!!
Maybe she didn't like getting beaten by that "great guy".
Wtf are you talking about? He was awful to her. She was miserable and that’s why they broke up. She didn’t miss out on anything, they weren’t great as a couple and he was very selfish. Once drugs became involved it was not going to end up well.
Thank you , this is great.
Lindsey is straight up, stevie builds a story.....
Lindsey doesn't seem on the verge of quitting here! It's so fascinating to watch this because Tango is a fantastic album, they seem relatively happy, but years later they all said this was a very unhappy time.
Makes sense to try and make happier music with what was going on
I heard Stevie made the band boot Lindsey out of the band or she would quit and all because he smirked.
"I don't see any radical change on the horizon."
- Christine Mc Vie
I wonder how this interview would have been like if the others knew that Lindsey would quit the band just a few weeks before the tour would start.
Stevie said that when Lindsey announced that she wanted to strangle him, while Mick was going "OH MY GOD!" since he realised the logistics of canceling the already booked tour.
So Billy Burnette and Rick Vito were hastily brought in, steamed ready to do the tour and the tour went ahead as scheduled but with a few changes in the set list, since songs where Lindsey sang lead such as "Go your own way", "Never going back" and "Big Love" were all removed from the set list. People badmouth Burnette for not being able to replace Lindsey but to his credit, Burnette NEVER sang Lindsey' songs.
The "Tango in the night" tour also saw the welcome return of songs from the Peter Green era, Rick Vito's blues playing bringing the band's roots back into forte.
You've got to admire the band for being resilient: Lindsey wanted to pull the rug from underneath them but they didn't fall over, let alone miss a beat.
I've always liked Christine, she's a down to earth woman, in lots of ways.
Living and expressing their truth.
All that 80s hair.
Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham we're hardly destitute Stevie's dad was Vice President of Armour Foods and Greyhound. Lindsey's dad owned a Coffee plant.
I love Chris She’s like 6ft & I’m a Christina & also 6ft tall … but she looks amazing here she’s always gorgeous anyway…
FIRST TIME I EVER HEARD MAC TALK.
The greatest band in history! Fleetwood Mac.
Gotta admire the interviewers ode to Rod Stewart 😁💖
That’s why you should not date or work with someone just in case you break up lol
Don’t shit where you eat!
Or sleep with another band member.
+ T M They were already a couple when they joined FM. It was the fame that came that led to the break ups.
First there was Fleetwood Mac without Lindsey and Stevie. Then there was FM with them. There there was no FM without Lindsey.
They just weren't FM without Lindsey.
They could have been a greater band if the issues were not in their way.
And more albums from them over the years.
I think the issues actually made the band.
Damn, Lindsey Buckingham was HOT! Stunning.
I love Fleetwood Mac?I wonder if they all are still together and plan to tour again in the future?I have to admit that Stevie and Lindsey are my favorites,and helped make that group famous.
Where have you been Samuel? You need to catch up
Love you Stevie! Forevs ❤
Too bad they divorced poor Lindsay. So much for family. Sad.
They were never married.
@@bamboozle5068 Sara Heart is clearly not talking about literal marriage.
Yep. And they had said you “never break the chain.” But they did!
@@bamboozle5068, duh.
When they show up at restaurant for lunch stevie knew they need help fast lindsey said is both us or nil the rest is history stevie said I years money flow non-stop.the band was on roll big time.
Gracias por este video. adoro su musica de FM
Sucks that Lindsay left the band shortly after this
She was only 39 here 💜😳
Those are two great looking people. Wonder what their kids would have looked like??
Or how talented they would have been
Stevie didn't want kids! The evidence was there.
However, Mick already declared FM is already a retired band. I guess its a good call cause Christine McVie is gone, Lindsay Buckingham is not part of the band anymore. Stevie has been doing her solo concerts anyway. Mick and John are living comfortably.
Mick was probably filming The running man
I'm still trying to determine the timeline where Stevies teeth changed from natural to no resemblance to the past Stevie. Can the real slim shady please stand up.
Lindsey's cough at 3:23-24 😆
Stevie is struggling here with her addiction here when she is swaying back and forth in this interview. She’s probably trying so hard to stay off the drugs and she’s having withdrawals. I feel for her. I love her. And I’m glad she got through her addiction. It’s just interesting to see.
LB is my favorite.
Buckingham Nicks belong togeths. Like avo and toast, Anthony and Cleo, baby....💞💕❣
Why did Lindsey say he wished Mick was here, but wasnt? He left the band, or?
I'm channeling Stevie when I sing
So where was Mick
Am I the only one that thinks the interviewer of Christine and John was smoking hot??
Smoking hot? Nah. Smoking pot? Definitely!
glamdolly20 hahahaha damn maybe I was too 🤪
@@xaviergms2225 LMAO! Have a great day! X
She was a MTV host in the 80s.
nina blackwood was her name. i think john and chris were hotter , the late 80s they both looked amazing.
Wow. The hair.
Really Stevie that's why I'm blessed for saving my grandmother from death 3 times are you nope
Stevie is wrong, the reason why she joined Fleetwood Mac is because of Buckingham. He said he would only join if they let Stevie join too. They never wanted Stevie in the first place, Buckingham carried her to success
@Cameron- The irony here is Lindsey really didn’t want to join Fleetwood Mac. He didn’t want to give up, what Stevie and he had, as a duo. He felt strongly that “they” could break through on their own despite the commercial failure of their first album. It was actually Stevie, who convinced Lindsey to join. One could understand Stevie’s position here, this was her last shot to make it in R&R. She was tired of working 3 jobs and living in poverty. It’s certainly interesting because if Lindsey would of put his foot down and said, no to Fleetwood Mac, what would have happened? Lindsey was already working on material for a 2nd shot at “Buckingham/Nicks II.” Would that 2nd album have included, Rhiannon, Monday Morning, So Afraid, and Landslide? I believe so. Whether or not they would have been received well in the music world, is the question. Fleetwood Mac had an established reputation, where as Buck/Nicks did not.
C. Perry what happened was Fleetwood Mac didn’t want Stevie, they only wanted Lindsey, but Lindsey said “Stevie and I are a package deal.” He could’ve joined without Stevie but that’s not what he wanted. It’s still a fact that Lindsey carried Stevie to success because he’s the one who made the music, even after they joined Fleetwood Mac Lindsey still created and produced all of their songs. Don’t get me wrong I love Stevie, but other than writing a few songs per album she didn’t contribute much to the band. Lindsey is the one who put the team on his back with his production and instrumental talent.
@@zodspeed Stevie is a superior song writer and stage performer. Listen to the demos of her material she wrote those songs obviously Lindsey "produced" them. I love LB but SN is the star, fair or not.
Pete Blowers that’s completely wrong. She might be a better songwriter but not by much, thanks to Lindsey her songs were really good. And live performer? Holy shit that’s incredibly wrong. Lindsey is 100x the live performer that Stevie is. During their Fleetwood Mac shows she is literally just shaking a tambourine most of the time. Lindsey’s musical talents are soooo above and beyond Stevie’s to the point where you can’t compare them at all. You don’t understand music if you think writing lyrics are the most important aspect of making songs. You think Dreams hit #1 because “Thunder only happens when it’s raining”? Lol... the song hit #1 because of what LINDSEY did with her lyrics. Even Stevie said that once she hands her songs to Lindsey it’s completely out of her control how the song turns out.
Pete Blowers- Stevie is more of poet than a song writer. She writes long epic style poems. Because she has limited music playing ability (guitar and piano chords), creating melodies for her songs are very crude and basic. It was Lindsey’s responsibility to build the “frame work” for Stevie’s songs. Even Stevie has stated she was in “awe” with regards to Lindsey’s ability to turn her poems into songs. Christine McVie and Lindsey were the only two members of FM that could create and develop complete songs. Stevie’s songs would always need producing.
Leeza Gibbons was gorgeous.
Thank you. I was trying to remember her name.
Is it just me but Stevie sounds like she smokes 3 packets a day
It seemed like a somber reason mick wasn’t there. Anyone know why?
He was filming for The Running Man.
And looking for love and never find it she said and Lindsey coughs and it got her she looks at him real quick??
So caught up in herself always has
I grew up since i was a4 yr old little boy my mom loved em
It’s sad to see her so high
Linda Rondstant Stevie Nicks sexiest ladys in ROCK + ROLL
Funny
God damn, stevie looks smokin hot!
It’s a Hair-Off!
The 1980s were a decade long hair-off.
I think there was some jealousy towards the relationship between Stevie and Lindsey
When she said “Fleetwood Mac id the premiere American Rock Band”, the next person speaks in a British accent, and you realIze the band is more British than American.
My queen take me with you the most beautiful woman on this Earth take me with you I sang all your songs all my life you are my life the most beautiful good witch take me with you my queen
I always found Lindsey super creepy. When I learned that Stevie and Lindsey were a couple, I couldn't believe it!!! A classy gorgeous super talented warm hearted great spirit & personality woman got down with a psychopath?? I still can't believe it today... were there no other men available? 😯
It's weird but they separated after a few years.
Yes
R.I.P. John McVie..😔💯💯🙏
He’s not dead you moron.
I have too much material...every 2 years isn't enough..she was never there for Tango
It wasn’t lack of material, her klonopin addiction made it much more difficult to sing than the coke.
@@jordanlake471 It's true that she had that problem at the time. But it's also true that she didn't have much material. She had only written two songs for the Tango in the Night album. ('Seven Wonders' was not written by her.)
P.S. It wasn't just klonopin. She also drank Brandy before her vocal sessions. Those two things combined meant that she was intoxicated during the recording of her songs.
@@darkness_of_the_night Lindsey actually re-recorded her vocals himself with a vocoder and tape manipulation in more than one instance...
It's definitely Stevie's phone in session album but....I actually LOVE the Tango in the Night album. It's the one FM album (after Rumours) that IS a solid listen with little ta NO filler...IDK, maybe it's just a nostalgic preference as well, but..Just don't listen to any of the others (after the self titled and Rumous CD) near as much as Tango....🤘🔥🤘
I feel bad for her and her dr is an asshole for doing that to her. She was beautiful all she needs to do is let down her beautiful hair, wear an elegant gown and she's good to go. I bet she looks great even without makeup. She's given us many years of great music and masterful performances and we fans will always love her. She has nothing to prove to us. Thank you Madonna we love you!
are u serious, they have been touring the past few years, (minus Christine McVie)
Its so obvious Lindsey was the petty one. Lol.
lol if they only knew
Stevie rode alot poles to be not loveless...she should know love by now.
TRUE EARTH GODDESS
I don't like Oprah, but these videos you are watching are suspect. Put together with questionable editing. I would drop them and move onto more reliable material. Just sayin.
I think Stevie looks like a blonde Hedy Lamarr
American??? Wrong
She's BEEN SCREWED BY a MILLION men now she is going to die without no-one by her SELF very SAD
I guess kicking Stevie on stage was the last straw for the band with Buckingham.
@@darkness_of_the_night During the Mirage tour you could see Lindsey deliberately bumping into Stevie during Sisters of the Moon in particular.
Stevie nicks just pisses me off.
WHY? 🤔😬... Lol
Linsey is a poo ghost
Lindsay actually said in another interview that he left because there was no outlet for his material (in so many words). What is he talking about, he was the one who did the concepts for their last couple of albums. He was just being an ass about everything.
He left because Stevie, Mick, and John were absolute trainwrecks and Lindsey crafted the Tango In the Night LP in spite of being handicapped by only having himself and Christine to rely on. He was tired of holding their hands and threw his hands up and said "enough".
Look what happened without him - "Behind the Mask" and "Time" are basically the two worst albums in the entire catalog and they wound up playing sheds between Pat Benetar and REO Speedwagon without Lindsey.
They were only inactive for like a year when they brought Lindsey back for "The Dance", but it seemed like they had been gone for a lot longer than that...
