Rumours Part 1

[@vanpiekeren]

RIP Christine McVie. Thank you for the great music!

[@Ronnalicious]

My mom named me in inspiration to their song Rhiannon because it was her favorite childhood song, i never knew how much of an impact it had but i’m grateful to be named after such an iconic song and group. Their music will forever be a hit.

[@Electroelectro]

37 years later you can still see the toll Christine leaving took on John. Wonderful woman

[@aprilgosa7240]

+Electroelectro you can tell she was a great love and he feels that he messed it up but they are great friends now

[@jaygenson4788]

She is my favorite. I was blessed to see her in 2014 and 2019 when she returned and I was born in 85 and this is my favorite band. You Make Loving Fun is my life jam.

[@deerod584]

She is a wonder ful musician but i don’t know about her as a woman, after all she did cheat on John.

[@DRUMTOY2002]

One of many reasons that this song will ALWAYS be my #1 ALL TIME favorite Fleetwood Mac songs is because of the angelic background vocals heard at 8:03.

[@snickster5]

Stevie Nicks made a huge contribution to Fleetwood Mac as a great singer and rock and roll femme fatale and vamp who was also responsible for composing some of their greatest songs. She is a rock and roll legend.

[@joeyknox733]

snickster5 she solely by herself wrote therr only number one

[@Deborahtunes]

@@joeyknox733 ~ Yup, *"Dreams..."*

[@chefbrittan84]

She didn’t compose “dreams”. She wrote the lyrics, came to the band with it, and Lindsey composed it. Lindsey composed her songs. He said in an interview that after they broke up (relationship) that he sometimes felt like he didn’t want to help her out on her songs out of spite. She’s a great singer and lyricist, but during the FM days she wasn’t a musical contributor.

[@soundshape6496]

Christine McVie was the real engine of the song writing dynamic in this band.

[@souljjah1234]

A lot of people might not like her personality but there is no question whatsoever about her vocal and songwriting talents. People who say otherwise are ignorant of music.

[@juliew1426]

I know this sounds superficial, but Christine McVie aged so beautifully. She has that sexy, mellow, cut glass intelligence in her eyes, her face.

[@ginabattz9716]

She was just so cool

[@justlikethegypsythatremain7140]

She has no range? Have you ever heard a Fleetwood Mac song? She has more talent in her pinky than you do in your whole body guaranteed. She's a legend; nuff said.

[@pbwbrian53]

I could listen to Christine read the phone book.

[@patton303]

Fleetwood Mac before and after Stevie and Lindsey were two totally different bands.

[@akellkell]

LOVE this album.

[@alanlloyd450]

"Sold out" is a term fans use when they dont want an artist to grow or change.

[@Luvie1980]

Alan Lloyd Depends on the artist.

[@aprilgosa7240]

+Alan Lloyd exactly Fleetwood Mac stil has their artistic integrity always will

[@TiberiusWallace]

To me they didn't grow or change, all that happened was that Nicks and Buckingham got a rhythm section for their work and Christine McVie had a few songs recorded.

[@tonybarfridge4369]

I'm sure they loved the money, but they obviously enjoyed creating good music too, and the addition of the girls put new life into the mix. Without needing day jobs also, they could concentrate more fully on the music. Some enjoyed the bluesy sound of the original FM, but the later work brought them to life artistically. I don't think they intentionally devised pop hits, but that the albums were so good most any track could be released as a single and be successful.

[@ShouldHaveAskedFor]

no, the fact Stevie is talented and charismatic is not opinion, it is a fact to anyone with a set of eyes and ears and a non-biased mind. You don't like her and you don't think she is talented, that is an opinion of yours, perfectly respectable. But she IS talented, which is a fact.

[@rocklife86]

Why the hell are people so quick to judge Stevie? She was young and having fun so damn anyone who says shit about Stevie or Fleetwood Mac. Amazing album by the way

[@eltoro969]

Hello 240p we meet again

[@matchfactoryman]

As a drummer Mick Fleetwoods playing is underrated, particularly on this album and the rhythm section is great

[@Nomah1979]

What a backhanded comment by Lindsey " Fleetwood Mac with hits my God" LOL Fleetwood had hits before Lindsay and Stevie joined the group they were just a different kind of band... truth be told it was actually Christine McVie that kept Fleetwood together after Peter Green left. Her ability to write songs and the way her piano Blended the group together kept it going

[@SpiritsOfAnotherDay]

Albatross

[@fleetwoodforever]

Excelente album, excelente video, gracias por compartirlo, saludos.

[@Bluebird9021]

omg I would have hooked up with Stevie Nicks back then

[@maxmustardman298]

what would I give to get my hands on the master tapes and the single tracks man

[@andriealinsangao613]

You can get them online, but they're not as separated from each other like in this video, or the original multitracks.

[@cadillacseville00]

I respect both incarnations of FM with Peter Green and Stevie/Lindsey. However I will say I prefer Stevie and Lindsey because I prefer the pop sound they introduced versus the blues sound that the earlier FM had. Rumours IMO is one of the best albums ever made and all the disdain and heartache the members had with each other is clearly shown in the songs they recorded.

[@BuggyD_Clown927]

I agree but Green Manalishi and World in Harmony, Rattlesnake Shake are some of my favorite FM Songs. But Tango in the Night is Peak FM to me.

[@tomdavie]

Its too difficult to determine if they were better with Peter Green or with Stevie, Chris and Lindsey. As fantastic a force that Greenie was, the two girls and Lindsey made them one of the greatest bands in history . That is pretty hard to argue with.

[@aprilgosa7240]

+Tom Davie both are great they are different

[@zencan2379]

Tom Davie as far as I'm concerned rumors is one of the best (if not the) albums in rock history and that's the end of story.

[@rep10101]

Great stuff

[@vakantieland4]

Just the complete documentary on the Belgium TV. Want to see it again, now!

[@B4inSF]

AWESOME DOC!

[@Angecm]

So how many hit records have you had then?!

[@chiaraoliver4045]

is anyone else getting stressed by the fact that john's bass only has 3 tuners

[@michaelharrington75]

The 4th is there. It's just blending in with the mountains.

[@lebarosky]

Anything to do with FM must contain a very strong troll attractor which is evident from general YT comments on their work. Well go away trolls!

[@joeherbert7555]

I have never seen an interview with Lindsey Buckingham that's not positively drenched in ego. Honestly I don't know how anyone could stand being in the same room with him.

[@naturalggg]

I dig this shit

[@justlikethegypsythatremain7140]

I agree, Peter was the one who built the band, but the most popular line up was the one that included BN. Do you remember when Stevie left the band for Time? Exactly, no one does. They are still touring and selling out stadiums. You can have your opinion, I will have mine. I'm 13 by the way. I love Christine's voice; but Stevie is simply unique. And I like that. You may not, but I do. Stevie is a part of FM that is irreplaceable. You can have your opinion, and mine stands firm.

[@mikebtko]

Tusk album had more tracks to love... But they're both beautiful, and their white album...

[@davidbowen125]

@Michael H. So did Fleetwood Mac. 1975

[@JamieStallingsworth]

Tusk is my favourite Fleetwood Mac album

[@screenpuller]

.More than you.

[@henrikberger7504]

Shut up and enjoy the documentary!... geeeeees. Its a band and a record not freaking religion!

[@souljjah1234]

It is only your opinion that they were better with Peter Green. I disagree very much. I think they were boring while singing the blues and I think they upgraded and found a sound and a great one, at that, with Lindsey and Nicks. They did not "sell out". How so? I loved Rhiannon, You Make Lovin' Fun, Gypsy, Go Your Own Way, The Chain, Say You Love Me and Dreams. What is so "sold out" about those songs? Those songs are awesome and creative and talented. And raw. How could you say/think that?

[@davidbowen125]

Peter Green was a Dick Weed that passed away with a piece of cheese in his hair! Lindsey and Stevie built the Big Mac!

[@lindadriscoll7386]

Dreams was / is FM's only #1 single in the US. I remember back around that time, the story about Stevie writing the song in like 10 minutes got told and re-told and re-told, like Stevie was some sort of an amazing musical genius for writing the song so fast. Uh.... that song has LITERALLY TWO CHORDS. Played over and over and over and over--- from the intro, thru the verses, the chorus, and all the way to the hard stop ending. I would also say the same two chords are used in the bridge, but this song doesn't have one. Because the song has TWO CHORDS. Dreams has always sounded to me like it was written by a bored but very alert keyboard-dabbling cokehead in the wee dark hours (well, the wee dark 10 minutes, anyways) of a stormy, sleepless coked-up night, searching for just the right chords to create that dark and witchy Stevie "mood". Stumbling on those two chords.... and then playing those two chords EVER SO SERIOUSLY over and over and over (well, for 10 minutes, I guess) while conjuring up dark, witchy lyrics... until (literally) 10 minutes later--- there's Dreams, in all of its' two chord glory. And the song goes on to make millions. And it also goes on to bore the living shit out of the guitarist and bassist who have to play those stupid two chords night after night after night after night until their fingers bleed and they're contemplating taking 10 minutes to duct tape the mouth of the cokehead who stumbled on those witchy two chords late one dark and stormy coked-up night. Or actually, during a 10-minute period late one dark and stormy night.

[@joeyknox733]

lindalu22291 you mean they have no problem playing dreams over and over because you are right it made them MILLIONS

[@derhornttoadmail625]

People forget that Fleetwood Mac was a FULL BAND effort. You take away Lindsey's arrangement/production + John's bass playing + Mick's drumming + Christine's key parts/ tasteful accents and the song is pretty boring.

[@davidbowen125]

Lindalu222. You need to wash your mouth out with soap after all that.

[@soundshape6496]

This reads like it was written during 10 minutes in dark glory hole coked out.

[@justlikethegypsythatremain7140]

Yep, they literally sold out... STADIUMS. They were most successful in the BN era. Sure, i respect your opinion, but Fleetwood Mac is an iconic band in all line-ups. THANK YOU~~~ I'M OUT.

[@Angecm]

LOL..but not more than Stevie Nicks.

[@screenpuller]

OK, I can be a bit vitriolic with my opinions, but I am simply expressing my opinion. As far as her being talented or charismatic, that is YOUR opinion. Point in fact, the ONLY reason she was ever in the band is because Lindsey wouldn't join unless she came along for the ride. Opinion: Fleetwood Mac was much better when they had Peter Green in the group, with Buckingham/Nicks, they sold out.

[@davidbowen125]

Yep, they sold out stadiums all over the world. Blues is a depressing and boring form of music.

[@graceburke5420]

i have to look at her lyrics and writing and disagree. sara. silver springs. rhiannon. she brought a seriously different element that they never had beforehand. it’s very hard to do what she did-give rock such a poetic element AND perform the live arrangements that she did (like of rhiannon). there’s a reason why peter green didn’t really put them on the map, you know?

[@scoreandsound]

This sort of thing is really irritating. I dont need to hear their life stories. I need to know how their studio engineers achieved each of the individual tones and sounds on the record...

[@davidbowen125]

Call up Ken Callait and ask him dumbass

[@screenpuller]

Why am I not surprised your a fan? I guess it couldn't have been your user name. Anyway, Christine was CLEARLY a better singer & there is the well known fact the only reason they took on Stevie was because it was the only way Lindsey would join. Peter Green MADE that band... they became pop fluff after he left, regardless of how many albums they sold to a musically dull audience... FLUFF!

[@georgesonm1774]

you really think any album with Peter Green has more musical merit than Rumours, Tusk or Tango in the Night? Just because one thing is blues and one is pop?

[@RIDWYER]

Their biggest hit Dreams was all Stevie so

[@0248959]

so full of themselves. made a great album. get over it. talking about what who said what to whom some night nearly 30 years ago. ugh.

[@BassByTheBay]

Uh, you know this is a documentary, right? And it's a documentary about one of the most successful albums of all time. And the documentarians -- who are obviously interested in the subject since they're making a documentary -- are asking the band questions... which the band are answering. So, yeah, get over it.
