FLEETWOOD MAC- THROWN DOWN

[@jayannakelley9051]

Can we all just give Lindsey the credit he deserves for actually being a first rate producer & arranger on these albums?

[@alexthiebaut2195]

or for simply writing all the music behind Stevie's melody and lyrics?

[@jayannakelley9051]

Tango In The Night - That also 🌟

[@davidroberts1702]

And for trying despite an obvious uphill battle arising out of defensive deafness depicted in this video.

[@judeward5341]

Wish Rolling Stone magazine would stop kissing Stevie’s butt and behave like a genuine music reviewer, in which case they’d have to acknowledge Lindsey’s... - Songwriting - Vocal talent (never off key) - Guitar virtuosity - Arrangements of EVERYONE’S songs in Fleetwood Mac - Final production and technical skills Given all those incredible gifts, plus extraordinary good looks, you’d think they’d all be falling over themselves to pay tribute. But no... Ooh - just realised - it’s obviously pure envy on their part! Some spotty-faced journo watching Lindsey, and crying into his beer that life’s just not fair.

[@jayannakelley9051]

Judy Ward - I totally agree! Whereas Alanis Morrisette (sp lol) wrote ‘Jagged Little Pill’ at age 19 & she didn’t have a bf bring her along in an already established band.. plus Ann Wilson I think still outsings Stevie.. I kinda got away from Rolling Stone for awhile.. to much on pop boy-bands for awhile..

[@morningsnoopy]

their interaction really is like an old married couple, just beautiful

[@judeward5341]

Maybe I’m just over-sensitive... but it seems to me that Stevie was stonewalling and being totally (and sulkily) unappreciative, in the face of Lindsey’s suggestion. He was very diplomatic and quite gentle in his approach. Of course she’s entitled to disagree, but what an arrogant way of doing that! What’s much more disappointing is that in a separate interview, she described this very incident as Lindsey being very nasty with her! Whaaaaat? I now don’t trust ANY of her comments on Lindsey.

[@morningsnoopy]

@@judeward5341 i kind of agree with you; she had this interest in mick fleetwood who i always found a bit creepy & childish & admitted himself he was always handing out "happy pills" to everyone so i think a lot of minds were screwed up by drugs; the music is undeniable but Lindsay was the driving force behind the quality production & has been nothng but slagged off by mick fleetwood for it; i think Stevie is angry she lost Lindsay & she was hitting out; that's my thinking anyway!

Lindsey knee it was about him. He asked so he can hear her say it

[@PassionGrows]

It’s obvious to me when I listen to this song that Stevie basically wanted to show two different perspectives on this song. First verse was written in third person as a narrative. She is telling the story of them from an outsiders perspective. The second verse it switches to her directly speaking to him and then it goes into her speaking to herself and then back to telling the story as a narrator. How can anyone not see that? This song is quite awesome because of that dynamic.

True. Though I think Lindsey and Stevie are different tyoes of songwriters. Lindsey is the one that likes to stick to logic and rules, he's sort of strict in that. Stevie is the free spirit, she writes what she wants to and she doesn't let rules hold her back. I think the combination is both what makes it work most of the time. They keep each other in balance.

Lindsey was just suggesting. That's the way they work together. When I first heard the song and heard the tense change it seemed alittle off, so I understand Lindsey's point of view. In the end, nothing changed. I see nothing wrong with discussing the matter. Stevie is strong enough now, she can handle Lindsey.

[@rdbull5890]

As the producer, it's his job to ask questions and make suggestions. He'd be negligent if he didn't. In the end, the lyrics remained the same, but not wrong for him to bring it up any more than it's wrong for her to push to keep the lyrics as they were.

I find this clip hilarious for so many reasons, but Stevie trying to come up with a PC explanation of how this is about their relationship, and then Lindsey being like, Yes, it's totally weird singing about myself just takes the cake. Oh, Lindsey, don't you remember "Go Your Own Way," "Silver Springs," "Dreams" and the DOZENS of other songs in the FM canon? You've both been writing and singing about your dysfunctional relationship for decades...

[@70sgirl8]

Lindsey's total lack of self awareness, righteousness and entitlement have always bugged me. But the man can play a guitar.

[@dharmabeachbum6330]

Love the way Stevie mentions Dylan. I was thinking about Bob as soon as I heard them talking about tenses. Switching tenses adds a bit of an ethereal or abstract quality to a song. Afterall, song writing isn't English Composition 101. Sometimes I think these two never stayed together because they overanalyzed the intricacies of their relationship. But analysis and perception, in part, is what makes them both legends.

[@davidroberts1702]

Problem is, "you can't say that about Bob Dylan" is what's called a straw-man argument, which means even if you can't name it, you still sense that it's a bogus comment. And yes, I realize it probably was a reference to Dylan's Tangled Up In Blue, reflected against his popularity and recognized expertise in composing.

It annoys me when people slate Lindsey for just stating his opinion, Stevie states her opinion on Lindsey's songs and nobody blinks an eye lid! I love them both and agree with them both! I am personally a bigger fan of Lindsey... Within Fleetwood Mac and his solo stuff:)

[@fundies2]

It totally annoys me as well. I love them both and was a huge Stevie fan but the bottom line is, she would not be here if it wasn't for Lindsey. It appears on this documentary that he is trying to be as cautious and sensitive as he possibly could in his suggestions to Stevie. He seems to be walking on egg shells for fear that she will freak out. . If you have ever seen her "In your Dreams" documentary, she speaks of what we see here and makes it seem like Lindsey was attacking her. She seems to hold on to her grudges way too long ( like 30 years too long).

[@mariannerichard4001]

100 % agree.

[@Toniehoek]

Hold on to her grudges way too long? Man! I thought I was the only one to think that. I've wondered whether she is deliberately not participating in Fleetwood Mac to spite Mick.

[@fundies2]

I think it would be more to spite Lindsey more so than Mick. she seems to have a good relationship with Mick and also with Christine. IT's Lindsey she cant seem to rid herself of the grudge. Personally, i think a big reason why she is not participating with Fleetwood Mac on their new album is because she may have lost the ability to write new songs on a consistent level. If you look at the timeline of new songs from Stevie, it was before Tango in the Night when she wrote a chunk of new material. Basically the cocaine years. Since then she has written very few new songs for each new project and relied on old material to fill up an album as well as material co-written with someone else (usually where she writes the lyrics and the other person writes the music). It seems like, for her, no coke = lack of creativity = no new songs. It may be that we will never see her record with the Mac again but she may tour. Add to that, she seems to be extremely emotional (holding on to grudges for 30 YEARS etc)and a bit of a narcissist. It also seems like she surrounds herself with nothing but "yes" people. That is, her people will stroke her ego where as Fleetwood Mac will not. Im sure she thinks her solo music is better than what she makes with Fleetwood mac. I think her music with the Mac is magic and her solo stuff is hit and miss. Add to that her fan base views her as a goddess that can not do any wrong. I mean , holding a grudge for over 30 years just isn't normal. Man, i am probably going to get a lot of hate for posting this. Yikes!!

[@mariannerichard4001]

No hate here fundies2. You are spot on. To me..Lindsey is a perfectionist,that's why (again my opinion) his music with Fleetwoodmac and his Solo work is great. I think she could be arrogant and not have the patience to record and album that could take a year and sound great where as he does. They were a couple years ago etc... whatever. Fights,tension ..we all go through it.

[@robvanderliet1828]

Being the poet she is and having the stature as a songwriter at that time (ca. 2003, with the release of Say You Will) since the Buckingham/Nicks album (not to mention the songs written between 1969 and 1973, some of which are on 24 Karat Gold), Stevie is certainly entitled to defend her lyrics and to "write what she wants to", in my opinion. Language, certainly in poetry, is like a living organism which tends to evolve. One can bend and shape it at will. The poetess Stevie Nicks always tries to explore new territory in poetic language and she will forever seek to expand and stretch the boundaries of that language.

I have the unpopular opinion that Stevie's voice has gotten even better as she got older. I read all the time about live clips that "yeah her voice is not as good as it was but she still sounds great" and I think WTF it's better stronger and I think more controlled. But I'm always told I'm an idiot to think that.

[@jasmineleslie8651]

Her voice was always beautiful but now that she's older something has gotten better, her voice is absolutely stunning and unique. I agree with you

[@tawniehenderson9083]

Go to her 24 Karat Gold tour THEN come to us about her voice. Here's a clue: Her voice was absolutely amazing and strong and she did an AMAZING job. Even during her worst vocal moments (which most artists have periodically), she still has incredible talent.

[@tawniehenderson9083]

Ah, there you go. That last sentence: "My opinion." Opinion does not equal fact. YOU may think her voice is shot, but that doesn't mean it's true. &&& of course her voice has changed! Yes, she lost some of her range. Does that mean she should hang up her cloak and call it a day? Please!! Stevie is no longer 28. She is no longer 32. Her voice is not the same strength is was during her Tusk era or the Bella Donna era (which IMO was her strongest). She's 68 years old and can *still* blow her fans away -- read the reviews of her most recent tour! Just because she doesn't "hit the high notes" (like you feel she should be able to do despite everything) doesn't negate her star power, her spirit, her showsmanship, or her longevity. We all know the history of her life and the factors that affected her voice: the drugs, the exhaustion, the over-exertion night after night, the rumors of dissolving Tylenol or whatever and injecting it causing acidic PND, smoking, partying/drinking, stress, and age. Yet despite it all, her voice is still beautiful and capable of a variety of range and expressions. I don't know why people expect her to have the same vocal range, abilities and sounds that she did when she was in her youth and prime!

[@tawniehenderson9083]

You want to hear her sing, you say??? Why? So you can criticize and condescend her voice? Oh yeah -- you suuuuure "out-fan" me! I know MANY people who have been hardcore fans for her entire career and like true fans, they understand *why* her voice has changed and are still able to appreciate and love her and her matured voice, even as it has changed over the many years. So please -- spare me with your "my friends said she's unlistenable." Fairweather fans are the ones who only want her at her prime and tell her to "bow out gracefully" when they don't think she meets their standards. When you're 68 and still belting out tunes and putting on an amazing show, let me know! Otherwise, your opinion is just that -- a shitty opinion!

[@tawniehenderson9083]

What a sad person you must be that you think because you've been a fan "longer" and because you've clearly stalked Stevie's life (going to her house, really?! That's a bit disturbing -- no wonder she has to be so careful!), that your OPINION somehow trumps others! Just because you've decorated your house in Stevie stuff doesn't automatically mean you are a bigger or more loyal fan than -- especially if you're essentially reporting that she should "hang it up." Sounds like you're a fan who never acknowledged why things changed for Stevie, you just share a nasty opinion and therefore seem to fall flat of a "die-hard" fan, more like a "I only like Stevie when her voice meets my standard and she hasn't been good in X years so she should go away because she's be greedy." By the way, she definitely doesn't need the money, so saying it's a money-grab is ludicrous -- she deserves to go out and have fun and sing songs that are important to her. You sound like a person from The Ledge. By the way, I actually agree with some of your points -- i.e., the remasters being perfect, that the 24 Karat Gold album should have at LEAST included the original demos and outtakes (which I know and have as well), that Ann Wilson has a spectacular voice, and that the high-priced VIP packages should include meet-and-greets. However, more power to Stevie for doing her after aaaaaallll these years. Obviously, you and your ilk who think "Stevie should stop because she sounds terrible" (because considering her past including having nodules removed from her vocal cords and the extreme strain on her vocals by years of nonstop, grueling tours with no vocal rest means nothing to your snobby thoughts) are a VERY small group because she is selling seats like crazy, getting rave reviews, selling merchandise so fast that they can't keep up, have people petitioning for her to do another leg of her solo tour across the US and worldwide & are saying they have no desire to see or hear any new FM material without her! She's 68 and STILL got it....and all you've got is a room full of merchandise of a person you say should stop singing and a big mouth on social media. Who is really winning here?!

[@AzRoadRunner78]

I can understand Lindsey's point here, although I love the way Stevie writes as it is. She does shift back and forth between first, second, and third person in this song, so I can see his reason for bringing it up as an idea for her...but I do agree that the song as great as it is. I just hate the version that's on SYW...I think the "wall of sound" version is soooooooo much stronger.

[@piano61485]

"You can´t change that because its beautiful." That's a truth in its own right. Writing lyrics is not about making sense in the first place. Find words that sound good when you sing them. Think about the meaning later. Not saying that the meaning is not important, but the flow has a higher priority.

[@recabitejehonadab2654]

Lindsey’s just giving his opinion ( it’s not to criticize) because Stevie appreciates his musical talent. But then again Stevie has had a successful career on her own. She can take or leave his input. It’s good neither take it personally it’s just talking about lyrics.

[@CarissaConti]

Her success is largely owed to the production efforts of others. Including Lindsey. She can sing, she can write lyrics, but even she has admitted that it's others, including Lindsey, who take those bits of lyrics and craft them into full songs.

[@jayannakelley9051]

Carissa Conti - Exactly! Which it’s really bullshit she had him fired.. 🤬

[@JimCline92]

Some of the comments regarding either of their egos seem somewhat petty, personally. Dylan's often lauded as one of the greatest song writers in general, Stevie, too, in her own ways has made her own mark in the genre, and at the time this was filmed and recorded more than 20yrs had passed between Rumours and their impact on Rock & Roll history and being aware of the magnitude of each of their own rockstar statuses. Enough time and enough success had passed for Stevie to know her worth and her place in the music industry to have defended her own songwriting choices, I mean... 20yrs after Bob Dylan's own success nobody should have question his song writing. Let's not forget, it was Stevie's song "Dreams" that was sang and written by her that was Fleetwood Mac's biggest hit. Not to knock Lindsey's own record with songwriting, but additionally... even Stevie's career as a solo artist commercialy eclipsed Lindsey's. With all that said, I think it's safe to say she knows what she's doing when it comes to writing a song.

[@derhornttoadmail625]

Her solo career was schlocky 80s wank. Yeah I'm sure Buckingham thought "Bwana" was going to be a big hit. He never went the commercial angle, he has too much integrity.

[@RobTackettCovers]

Wow, Stevie in this comes off as really resistant to suggestions in this in regard to Lindsay's suggestions as far as the lyrics go...not sure if that is a control thing that both of them have...you know though, when collaborating, you can't just roll over every time someone suggests something...the suggestion really has to have merit to really making the song way better...but in their interaction, when she walled up, he knew she was taking a stand, and was really nice on how he chose his words with her, as to not come off as critical force, but simply suggestive, like seeing a friend with their hair messed up a little bit in a way that it's bugging you, and you tell them, "hey, um, your hair is a li'l different"...and they are like "hey, man, I intentionally did that", and you are like "well, if it wasn't intentional, I wouldn't be a very good friend if I didn't say something" kind of deal...uncomfortable for both parties...hey, thanks for posting this insight...

[@allisonchainz82]

Yeah I thought her response was ridiculous, he was only making a grammar suggestion and she took it too personally.

The song is a great reflection on the relationship. Lindsey has been Stevie' s greatest muse. I hate how he tries to change her lyrics. She is a poet first.

[@vickiespratling5392]

Yes mam, stand back Lindsay. It is awesomeand yet a little sad to see 2 people who will always love each other but cannot be together as a "couple" if you will. Stevie had to live her own life, and Lindsay's will never be able to have a partner who doesn't need him 24/7. He has missed out on a true love if you ask me. I bet no one tells him how to write a song..or play the guitar ..

She doesn’t take criticism well. At least not from Lindsey anyway

[@lindseyh5356]

She threatened to call her lawyers every time Jimmy Iovine made her do another vocal take on Bella Donna.

[@image0368]

Wasn't she living with Jimmy during Bella Donna? Nevertheless that rolls be typical -- she's strong but too emotional and defensive.. she's always been one to speak through managers, attorneys, etc. rather than directly address a discomfort.

[@SoCal90755]

I think she took the criticism very well. She listened to his suggestions and she didn’t want to change the poem. At least they didn’t get into a knock down drag out fight on camera.

[@judeward5341]

Joseph Forman She seemed to take it well at the time... but I saw another documentary in which she described how Lindsey had ‘taken issue with her’ and been ‘really nasty’ in this very incident. Yet we can see how hard he tried to be diplomatic. Very very unfair of her, if not deliberately twisting the truth. Or maybe she just likes to see herself as a victim, with any disagreement perceived as an attack. Pathetic. And makes me wonder about the truth of other remarks she’s made about Lindsey.
