Fleetwood Mac - The Dance - 1997 - Bleed To Love Her

[@ImThePutz]

True story, I saw them while doing this tour in '97. I was a just a Soph in High school, my father took my girlfriend and myself to this concert, and keep in mind, I was 16 or 17, my girlfriend had never heard of this band. When they played this song, her eye's watered and she took my hand. Later I asked what was she thinking when she heard it, and she looked at me and asked if we would have a love as wonderful as this song sounds. Now, 2011 we are married and have two perfect kids.

I think Lindsey would have been more popular as a guitar player if he wasn’t known for all of his infighting with the Fleetwood Mac band members. His song writing and guitar player are masterful. Fleetwood Mac would never have been so successful without him.

[@terrifictomtom]

This would have been an iconic Fleetwood Mac song if it had been released at the height of their fame, as would Silver Springs and Sweet Girl. These were really good songs that captured well the famous Fleetwood Mac sound.

[@derekchapman456]

Lindsey Buckingham is an incredibly gifted, most underrated guitar player ever in my opinion. It is hard to find a better singer, song writer and musician in the world today. This song is also one of his best I think.

I would say Lindsay Buckingham and Don Felder are one of the most under rated guitarist ever.

Lindsay has been called an ass but his talent is without question. Do you believe Rolling Stone a few years back put out it's "100 Greatest Guitarist" nonsense and Lindsay was left off? Lindsey is a brilliant musician.

[@laytonrichards2188]

My problem with the Buckingham situation is he sang all those songs and Stevie got all the publicity. My problem with the Felder situation is he didn't get to sing more and didn't get the recognition or appreciation he deserved.

I come from a family of many generations of musicians and the fact that Lindsay can sing a song flawlessly while playing flawlessly what would normally either take two guitarists to duplicate o just one but playing along with a pre recorded riff just blows my mind

[@DiamondDogg44]

So I have been playing guitar for about 20 years. I can tell you personally and musically that this song is almost absolutely impossible to learn and play on the guitar, let alone sing it at the same time and keep in rhythm. Mad props to Lindsey and the band on this one. Amazed...smh.

[@Andrew-jn9yp]

I tried the other day and my hands just could not stay in time. Dead notes all over, wrong notes all over. I try to slow it down but then it's to slow and I can't feel the rhythm

[@k.g.alatore355]

I don't even know what tuning it's in. It sounds like an open tuning but I can't find anywhere that it's documented what he tuned to. It's one of those songs that sounds easy on the surface but it's really not. Lindsey's a fuckin jerk and I'm sorta glad he isn't in the band anymore, but damn can he write a captivating guitar part. In a pop context, no less.

[@SamiKankaristo]

I find that this is one of Lindsey's easier songs, but his songs are not easy, so it's still a difficult song to learn. This song is only 3 main riffs, no double stops, steady rhythm, etc. Songs like Big Love (the live version) or Never Going Back Again were way harder to learn for me personally. Still, singing at the same time as playing pretty much any of Lindsey's songs is just insane. I'm glad that I can't sing, so I don't even have to try. :D

[@SamiKankaristo]

@@k.g.alatore355 It's in regular tuning, but all strings are tuned down a half-step. The main riff starts with 3 different octaves of a G#/Ab (or an A in regular tuning), which is why it sounds a bit like an open tuning.

[@HockeyVictory66]

Band member relationships are very complicated. You want to feel tight with the group but also get recognition for your individual contributions. Add in the stress and exhaustion from touring and it can be a recipe for conflict. Plus, there is always that lead singer (Sting, Steve Perry, Peter Gabriel, Don Henley, etc) who thinks/knows that they would be better just going solo. That’s one reason I have a lot of respect for lead singers like Bono, Mick Jagger, Billy Joe Armstrong, Robert Plant, etc who were loyal to their bands.
