Stevie Nicks on VH1s 'Before They Were Rock Stars'

[@vickirutherford1992]

I love Stevie Nicks💜 Her music she writes, you can feel her pain she's been through. It comes from her heart, which has been broken and you can feel it when she sings. Cudos to you Stevie you came through everything out on top. Still singing still beautiful.. You go girl‼️👍💜

[@Tropia]

Lucrese1: Stevie wrote Rhiannon on piano, check out her Rhiannon demo, Stevie's playing piano, Lindsey's guitar chords were written by Stevie Nicks on piano. Another great demo is "Leather and Lace" featuring Stevie playing guitar. Stevie Nicks is so talented, and a true class act, female musicians today "pale in her shadow".

ps: I love these old pictures...I watched an old concert from FM (1975), very good!!! Buckigham's interpreting some old songs from Peter Green, Stevie's singing (probably one of the first times) "rhiannon"!!That's what I love too about this band, they're really, really good in concert!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@fly78flap]

This is awesome!!! Wish I had it on DVD!!

[@lucrese1]

I also love her songs and her playing! I really think Christine mcVie never had the succes she deserved to have! For exemple, songs like "brown eyes", "you'll never make me cry", all the songs she wrote for "Tusk" are magical, so beautiful, soft...I have her last solo album "in the meantime", it's a wonderful album! And I sometimes wonder:"would someone else than Christine wrote the music on the piano for songs like "gypsy" or "rhiannon", would these songs be even good as they are?!?

[@bradcrawford1998]

Don't forget Songbird to. Just a classic BEAUTIFUL ballad that Christie nailed. Love that tune, gives me chills EVERY time I hear it. Not sure you could have two females in a band any MORE talented than Lindsey and Stevie. It seems like they got along OK 🤔

[@20thCenturyMan80]

they sure as hell made the right decision bringing stevie into the band. Just a legendary group.

[@tennes2465]

fleetwood mac was a good band already, but Stevie and Lindsay put them into the rock and roll fame.

[@crystalvisionssr5]

Spacecatsonmars. I hate ppl that don't know good music when they here it or when they talk shit about bands they know nothing about. Stevie's music has stood the test of time. She's been my idol since I was 5. I meet her last year- a defining moment in my life. Here's a little fact to throw into haters faces. 1. Every FM song tbat has been re-made has been one of stevie's songs. 2. Despite her solo success, she has remained loyal to FM. That speaks volunes of her character and dedication to her career. And it's why she has had such a long successful career and the best fans in the world.

[@hillashfarm]

A great insight into how Stevie And Lindsey became famous and joined Fleetwood Mac.

[@deannachen2889]

Stevie is by far the best and most beautiful women .so much inspiration to everyone .

[@lucrese1]

ps: Stevie Nicks said herself (this is a quote): "They always had the ability to take my songs and make them into something great". And "THEY" are the other members of fleetwood mac....Like I said, these 5 people made splendid music together, and I think lots of people know that! And Stevie's solo carreer is also brillant, she did a wonderful job and always chose good musicians like Pete Frampton, Sheryl Crow, Lindsey Buckigham, Tom Petty etc...Anyway, I wish you a good night...

[@MegaTriumph1]

Interesting tid bits of the music industry thanks to Stevie Nicks. Very powerful story.

[@cz1always608]

Wow thank you for sharing this , I mean WOW , I was 20 when Rumors was big ... I 58 now yes they were a big part of my life for sure....

[@kings17court]

In my mind, Stevie IS Fleetwood Mac. And just to think she almost wasn't part of it. Love her.

[@MrCherbear1990]

She’s also the person who ruined it with her uncontrollable childishness...

[@tiffanyroseangeles34]

I love the old snaps and the old lingo” they were so die” to get ahold of their version of California Dreamin’

[@GaelicSookieMaxwellMerrick]

Beautiful.....

[@richardprovost8204]

Thank you..

[@s.d.2042]

They inspire me so much. I wish I had the balls to pursue my music career even to just be a producer/writer. Cheers to med school 🥂 that’s how life is gonna have to be.💁‍♀️🤘

[@teresapolson5728]

Loved hearing about your music career and how it came about. BEAUTIFUL, "YOUR AN AMAZING, WOMEN!" As well as the love u have for music!

[@TheKanaraja]

Great Interview! If that is what you call it. I learned something new!! Thx

[@sandraramirez774]

por favor alguien que traduzca al español estos videos amo a Stevie al no saber ingles veo que me estoy perdiendo mucho

[@katc2354]

I'll never stop loving you my queen

[@charliefoss4699]

Best band ever !!!

[@beachboy519712]

I wish I went to High School with Stevie...I woulda been like "Uh Stevie....will you go with me?". And the rest would be history.....

[@lajack5273]

Take a listen to Buckingham/Nick's B4 Mac

[@TheWhereyouare]

Why hasn't Buckingham Nicks come out on CD?

[@emmamcgauran1963]

It is on CD

[@deltabean]

You are so right! Look at the Peter Green era too (Black Magic Woman, Oh Well...)

[@lisaackland690]

Hi Gran, hi Alison, hi Elizabeth, hi Elvis, hi Stefani, hi Michael, hi Chris…

[@kings17court]

If any fan of Stevie or Fleetwood Mac has not heard the album "Buckingham Nicks," do yourself a favor and search it out. The magic of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham was intact from the very beginning.

[@elie975]

News flash Fleetwood Mac was MASSIVE way before buckingham nicks, so with out Stevie they stil would have been, just different

[@melanistar]

They were hardly massive. They never had a hit song before B+N.

[@PotrzebieConolly]

@@melanistar They were massive in England. "Albatross" hit #1, "Man of the World" #2, "Oh Well" #2, "The Green Manalishi" #10, "Albatross" recharted 5 years after its first release and hit #2.

[@mariahwaite]

dear vh-1, san jose state university is not a junior college. thank you.

[@CurtHowland]

Funny, I have the album "Buckingham Nicks" on both vinyl and CD.

[@lucrese1]

Peter Green is FOR SURE one of the greatest blues player EVER!!!! Even BB King once said Peter Green was the only guitar player who ever made the hair on the back of his neck stand up. Unfortunately, he became sick and had a sad mental ilness: schizofrenia! I'm an educator, I work with children and grown up people who suffer from this ilness, it's very hard and they never recover...But if you really want to know: he was the lead singer-guitarist in fleetwood mac from 1966 to 1971

[@sevenn7pure]

2:43 Chopped 🤣.

[@deltabean]

Fleetwood Mac was never "nothing." They just hadn't found fame in AMERICA yet.

[@marypiver4040]

Who doesn't like Stevie!!!

[@lucrese1]

you see, here you go again, leave me alone, can you do that? thank you very much!!!!

[@PolyphonicPress]

I wouldn't say they'd be doing nothing. They had ten years of good music before she joined and were quite successful.

[@lucrese1]

you're right but our friend "spacecatsonmars" doesn't seem to know the difference between "fame" and "talent"...but I totally agree with you!!!!!!

[@lucrese1]

ps: english isn't my first language, I'm from Belgium, I was raised in french and studied in dutch (in Ostend we speak dutch); I also learned english and german......can you speak french, or dutch as I speak english? Grow up, everyone here tells you how talented Peter Green is and still, you refuse to say"Iprefere Stevie but you're right, the others are also talented"!!!! Did I ever said that Stevie Nicks bad was? No, I love her songs, I bought all her CD's!

[@Peakfreud]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@nightskymine]

0:18 is it just me or does it appear she somehow grew a thinner nose that turned up after high school? I hate to ask this but does anyone see this too?

[@nickrobinson7283]

Probably just did a real good job of blowing it.

[@jonesy2111]

A nose job or a little dab of that 'ol black magic

[@donaldmichaellumsden2714]

I remember when Stieve did an interview on Canadian music show . How did You get a gig when the music industry was controled by men ? Her answer was I just did a little TRICK . The look on the girls face , that asked her this question was incredible ! Her jaw dropped and her eyes popped out of her head ! WHAT ! She said . And Stevie repeated her answer .( : DML

[@lucrese1]

fleetwood mac didn't have the succes that had with peter green in 1974, they were missing something, someone: a great, a good guitarist ( bob welch left the band), they needed buckimgham and nicks as nick and buckigham needed them!!!!

[@spacecatsonmars]

oh yea? well who wrote the song "dreams"? It was stevie and that is the only gold record that band ever got. because of her fleetwood mac sold millions of records. they sure did not sell that many before she joined the band!

[@oostracing]

Well i didnt fn know that !

[@DexterHaven]

Buckingham replaced Bob Welch, who did "Hypnotized" with Fleetwood Mac, their best song ever, perhaps. Haunting rhythm. Check it out. It seems like a dream....

[@lucrese1]

and what if mick fleetwood wouldn't have ask lindsey to play in their band? it's not nice to say that: all 5 people were great toghether, they needed one and eacht other!!!that'ss what made this band so special! ps: fleetwood mac woucln't be the great band it became without one man: peter green, he started all in the '60's!!!!!

[@tiffanyroseangeles34]

They both busted their musical chops to get where to Buckingham Nicks” don’t you ever stop believing in the magic! Bc the California duo “ adding the rest of the UK members were stars!

[@lucrese1]

Oh, I see you have a lot of conversation!!! And I won't "shut the hell up" because someone tells me to!!!! Anyway, we both like Stevie Nicks, she has lots of talent, she can play with words, I think she's a great poet (not like everyone) and she hates when people fight like children to know if she's better or not than Christine McVie!!!! I really don't understand why you're so angry because I'm telling that I love all members of fleetwood mac, they met at the right time, at the right place!

[@joydunn2109]

She was ONE OF THE LEAD SINGERS OF FLEETWOOD MAC, IF NOT FOR CHRISTINE MCVIE STEVIE NICKS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A MEMBER OF FLEETWOOD MAC AT ALL. CHRISTINE MCVIE GAVE THE DECIDING VOTE TO LET STEVIE NICKS IN. THEY ONLY WANTED LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM. CHRISTINE MCVIE WAS ALREADY THEIR LEAD VOCALIST.

[@spacecatsonmars]

yea tell cintenta that!

[@lucrese1]

and why do you? don't you think it's so stupid? I don't know you, I have anything against you, we're just 2 grown old persons talking about music, and I noticed that some people just can't stay polited with others, I hate this!!! I just know you love stevie's music and so do I; I just told you that the other members were also good and you answered "shut up"...! I just think it's sad, that's all...Anyway, have a good night.

[@benlee913]

Lol @ some of the comments 😜😝🤤

[@spacecatsonmars]

if it wasn't for stevie, fleetwood mac would still be nothing. she got that band where they are today.

[@lucrese1]

ps: he went to a religious group, that's the truth, but not when he was working wwith FM but with another blues band! Anyway, I think that B.B.King, one of the greatest bluesman, knows better than you OR me if Peter Green (also called "the greengod" by people like Eric Clapton...) a living legend in the music history is or not, and he says he is, so...:)!!!Ok, I just come back from work, I'm going to watch a good FM dvd with Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, L.B., Mick Fleetwood and John McVie!!

[@spacecatsonmars]

that is your micky mouse approach fine. just keep the rumours milling!

[@lucrese1]

...than a solo career with hits like "give me back my freedom" in the eightees; than, untill 2005, he was the lead singer/guitarist of the splinter group ( a blues band). Not bad for someone who's 67 and has an ilness that can't be cure!!!!Ps: do you even know the difference between "famous" and "talented"???I don't think so!!!because, I you think that only famous people talented are, then you'll say that Lady Gaga better is thant Stevie Nicks?!She may be famous but to me, Stevie Nicks's better!

[@jessiedeemz7436]

she has very reptile like eyes, I love her!

[@jonesy2111]

She is a witch and worships satan

[@lucrese1]

another thing...FAME does NOT mean TALENT!!!! Do you know Melissa Etherbridge or Aimee Mann? These women are 2 american artists ( they write, play and sing amazing songs, and yet, they're not even "famous" as Lady Gaga or Madonna, but they're much talented, do you see the difference now???????I already gave you one exemple with Stevie Nicks (who has less fame than Lady gaga) but have MORE talent than Lady gaga will ever will!!!!!

[@lucrese1]

you mean the illness? schizophrenia is mostly a genetic illness, however, it can also be caused by social factors (too much stress, family history ) etc...but it is in general a genetic illness!

[@lucrese1]

or succes does not mean talent!!!

[@spacecatsonmars]

have a hot cup of "SHUT THE HELL UP!"

[@spacecatsonmars]

so why do you keep replying to me?!

[@lucrese1]

so sad, you don't have anything better to say...

[@spacecatsonmars]

well lets say that flleetwood mac was not hot and popular ntil stevie arrived.

[@nickrobinson7283]

Looks like Lindsey was up to something naughty behind her back.

[@spacecatsonmars]

LIKE I SAID THE FIRST TIME "HAVE A HOT CUP OF SHUT THE HELL UP AND GET YOURSELF SOME HELP TOO!

[@lucrese1]

No, I won't "shut the hell up" for someone like you!!!!! Like Samantha Love said: you seriously need to read more music history! You're really not polited, and I won't do something because you say so...

[@spacecatsonmars]

why don't you have a nice hot cup of "shut the hell up"?!

[@SamanthaLove0069]

You seriously need to look up the history of Fleetwood Mac to make that statement. They were well accomplished before Stevie Nicks arrived on the scene. She had an affair with Mick Fleetwood and lindsey Buckingham which caused the band to break up. Yes she has a voice like an angel and she is gorgeous and mystical but she pretty much broke up the band as well. I am a fan but the truth is the truth.

[@amyklemley]

If you were a fan you would know the facts. She and Buckingham were a couple--not an affair--for five years. They split in 1976, before Rumours. She and Fleetwood had an affair for three months in 1977; Fleetwood ended it by falling in love with and later marrying her friend Sara. It wasn't until TEN YEARS LATER that Buckingham and the rest of them stayed together for one more album before she herself left. Her relationships with those men were not the cause.

[@spacecatsonmars]

COOL SO just have a hot cup of shut the hell up!

[@spacecatsonmars]

but he does not have the BIG success that stevie and the rest. he gave it all up to join some religious group. as you you being an so called "educator" you miss spelled schizophrenia! I IS A COLLEGE STUDENT!

[@lucrese1]

blablabla....

[@lucrese1]

GROW UP!!!!!!!!!!!

[@williamludlow3788]

She certainly is lucky for a person the can't play an instrument. Even Susannah Huffs plays guitar.

[@PotrzebieConolly]

She plays piano and guitar on her demos. She just can't play as well as the very best professionals.

[@spacecatsonmars]

also so where is peter green now? not as famous as they are! so have a hot cup of "shut the hell up!

[@lucrese1]

....

[@lucrese1]

blablabla...
