What an immensely complicated, talented, somewhat haunted individual. As a guitar player myself, I respect so much of the work that Lindsey has done. His fingerpicking is truly amazing. He’s an icon and possibly more importantly, a true artist.
Beautiful talented man
An amazingly talented and genuine man. Pure pleasure listening to Lindsey Buckingham and host, Malcom Gerrie.
Always thought Lindsey was deep. He speaks thoughtfully. His guitar playing style is unique.
You can't have Fleetwood Mac without all of it,s parts.
Rip..Christine 💚💙💜
Absolutely correct. Without just one of Chrissy McVie or Lindsay Buckingham, there is no Fleetwood Mac. More than most groups, I think, this one was a real amalgam of each individual’s talents.
Man He has aged so well.And such a down to Earth guy....
"Why don't you call it, 'Stephanie?"......"Yes, dear"......Oh, priceless....So candid he is sometimes...
He is so relaxed about everything! He just bangs out Big Love like it's nothing leaving the audience in total awe. Yet he humbly just sits there and laughs off the standing ovation. Amazing.
He is so under rated when he does his solo albums yet everything he has done is just incredibly structured and perfect.
He just isn't as talented as Stevie Nicks, that's why his solo albums shadow behind hers.
@@scotchwhisky6094 Her music is more accessible to the masses. Lindsey's solo stuff is more "musician's music". It demands more of the listener.
@@blueshift9 Typical gatekeeping nonsense.
@@scotchwhisky6094 uhhhh no. I didn't say Lindsey was better or anything, his music just isn't as accessible. I love both their solo work, but to say Stevie is more talented is just ridiculous. Both are great singers, songwriters, and both are great with stage presence. He is one of the world's greatest guitarists, Stevie is not - but Stevie has had massive hits. Lindsey has maybe "Go Insane". Doesn't mean one is better, just different talents.
@@blueshift9 I'm glad you admit that they are different in their own way. When I say talented, I mean their music is able to connect with more people. That's my definition and I think it's a fair one.
My most favorite performance of Lindsey ever is Lindsey Buckingham Center Stage 1992 extended cut. He was completely without the "Chain" and was so damn brilliant! Even included his version of a Kingston Trio song. He is the only lead guitar player that I can listen to as they get completely wrapped up in playing an extended solo, without getting irritated. He just has that ear, talent, perfectionism, etc that makes his sound so edge of your seat, yet pleasant.
Loved this in-depth interview. Lindsey still has that adorable youthful cry in his singing voice. Lindsey, you will never never ever become out of date.
Underrated genius, guitar master, and the heart & soul of FM. Great interview.
Mr Lindsey Buckingham, is one of the few people whose guitar is just another part of their body. His emotions just flow beautifully into his instrument. It's a blessing to witness such talent.
Yes Lindsey is one of the great singer-songwriter guitarist of our time and I have seen him tour solo just fantastic he makes you feel like an old friend
The same with Stevie Ray Vaughan 💖
I love this man's heart and integrity. I hope his family stays together and leans in to happiness. He deserves that, they deserve that. Beautiful analysis. ❤
It's good to get the view of a gay man.
This interview was absolutely heavenly. Perfection.
From the moment he picks up his guitar and starts to play, your thoughts stop. All you can think is, "Wow!" You feel amazement at his talent. You listen some more, and you realize nobody else plays like this guy. He's unique, a genuine stylist.
Exactly, all he needs is his guitar to mesmerize. His vocals are an additional gift. All this growing up in a non-musical household...just born for it.
He is such a beautiful and genuine person. His brain never stops thinking about music. Thank you Lindsey for your talents. I hope to see you in concert one day.
Id love to get to see him live in concert. Doesn't have to be with Mac, he's such a talent in his own
My hope and prayer is that I see him in Heaven, forever. Thank you God, and thank you Lindsey for baring your soul in music!! And ALL this without "READING"1 Gb
The scope and scale of Lyndsey's talent has yet to be fully appreciated, even after all of his achievement and recognition. This is truly a musical genius, and a guitar player extraordinaire.
I adore him, he puts me in a trance with his talent, namely his guitar playing.
Lindsey and Stevie - honestly I think this - are soulmates, twin flames, etc - in their case that doesn’t mean they can even live together without pain and rage ruining everything but together in their younger years they “sparked” and created timeless and hauntingly beautiful music. Also I love how Lindsey credits the bandmates like John and the rockers who inspired him. Also what a fabulous guitar player!
I think they will love each other forever!
@@AleisterCrowleyMagus - Really? Stevie hates Lindsey's guts. She treated him horribly and got him kicked out of Fleetwood Mac, simply because he smiled at something she said in public - at worst, this was a bit of silent sarcasm on his part. She acted as if he had slapped her face. She's a pompous diva. His talent and his contribution to Fleetwood Mac's (and Stevie's) success is much, much bigger than this petty, spiteful woman.
The host did his homework. Very insightful . Opened up Lindsay
definitely. he did interrupt Lindsey. I hate interviewers who constantly interrupt
Lindsey Buckingham is one of the Best guitarist, singer,song writer and poets in the music industry. He completely oozes with Soul…He does this effortlessly and his music touches your heart. Love him standing on his own or with Fleetwood Mac. To me…there is no Fleetwood Mac without Lindsey Buckingham. Each and every artist made it work. It had to be all of them Together…or nothing. The dynamic duo of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham was the glue that made it all come together. The two of them together were so unique and created a sound like no other. Nobody could even come close to trying to create the harmonies they share with each other….Nobody! Im glad they remain friends to this day and I wish the band could have never stopped playing. I am so thankful I grew up listening to their music all my life , and even to this day. Fleetwood Mac is a Legend and their music and song lyrics will be forever etched in my soul.
What is so funny is that when Lindsey Buckingham is in Fleetwood Mac it's one guitar player but when he is not with them they need two just to make his guitar parts. That my friends is a true sign of brilliant talent that they have to have two players just to do what Lindsey Buckingham does as one individual.
there are some people that you just can't replace and Lindsey is one of them and he wrote most of Fleetwood Mac's biggest hits he's just a great singer songwriter guitarist and Stevia just weird and conceited
And the two of them together aren't half as good as Lindsay by himself!!!!
@@donaldrobinson6502 Never could stomach her. Have always wondered what he saw in her. I think their "history" speaks for itself. The whole changing line up, and then the irony of him saying he wouldn't join unless they allowed his girlfriend in. Again, ironically, her appeal is what got them on radar.
@Raymond Reid I've commented often on this and the fact remains that for many decades Fleetwood Mac, when Lindsey was in the band, hired guitarists, a keyboard player, a percussionist and several backing singers while performing live. The days of the 'classic five' playing together on stage with no outside help is LONG ago. They've had hired hands in the shadows and behind the curtains for many, many years. If you think Lindsey did ALL the guitar parts in FM shows post Tusk era, you are mistaken.
My thoughts entirely. I think the same applies to Don Felder.
Lindsey has magic in his guitar.🤗
Just saw Lindsey last December - 2021. Two shows: Dallas & Sugarland (Texas). I've seen him a number of different times throughout the years this being the 4th time (solo tours). I have to say, his performances get better with age. That ain't no joke. The 2021 tour, he was 72 years old and played a non-stop 2 hour show!! (only break to switch guitars) About 20 different songs w/ 3 song encore!. His voice? The same. His guitar playing? Better and more refined! An amazing artist and musician...a living legend in our time.
AWESOME.. I LOVE LINDSEY HE IS THE FULL PACKAGE.. HE WAS FLEETWOOD MAC.. SO HAPPY HE IS NOW SOLO HE HAS DONE SO WELL AND WILL CONTINUE .. ABSOLUTLEY INCREDIBLE
This guy really is the one that made Fleetwood Mac great. I love his solo stuff and I wish he'd kick out a album a year. Richard Thompson and Lindsey Buckingham are incredible to watch play.
Masterful, beautiful, such talent..... and easy on the eye!
@Lindsey Buckingham I'm very well thank you, and thank you for asking.
Lindsey Buckinham is brilliant and so loving when playing his music. He has a warm soul full of love. His songs tell what we are feeling along with him. Many blessings to him and his family. I hope to see him in concert one day...he has those magical fingers when he strums on his guitar, you can feel the words just overflowing as he and his guitar are one.
Full of love? He is in front of a million people for Pete’s sake! Go and really know who he is and was I DID A LOT of Homework!!! You will be shocked honestly not trying to bash this man Seriously do this and research. I did. I freaking wanted to choke him ! But that’s not me not who I am that’s the anger in me I what I found out!!!
Not trying to sound harsh towards ya apologies if I did it’s directed at him Ya I really liked him awesome guitarist Til that one day I found out everything turned my stomach!😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Amazing musician
He is ridiculously, fabulously, outrageously good with that guitar
I love this interview. All the band drama is what gave us all this beautiful music. There is no Fleetwood Mac without band turmoil.
The sounds that he gets out of that one guitar, from 0:27:58, is astonishing. That whole performance of Big Love is proof, if any were needed, that Lindsay Buckingham is one of the most brilliant, awesomely talented musicians of the last 50/60 years.
Love that him and stevie each brought something to FM biggest hits. They are individually great but together are something else, especially on stage
One of the greatest parts of the song Dreams is Lindsay's ability to make the guitar cry. it's the smallest things that make a song great!
Buckingham is a true master.
The humble and gratitude acknowledgement of Peter Green along with Mick Fleetwood from him speaks volumes of his respect for the founders and origin of Fleetwood Mac.
Extremely articulate in his music and the spoken word. A great soulful player of the highest calibre. Thank you L. B. for being you and sharing your gifts with us all. Your music will never stop being listened to by those in the know…
Now that's how you conduct an interview. All TV hosts / interviews should follow this format. Great!!
Excellent! "Stevie did the middle and I did the edges"-thats a brilliant way to describe it! And I love what Lindsey said about songwriting being like throwing colors on a canvas. Great songs- I love the guitar 🎸 on Big Love! 🦋🌈💜
He's so humble 😌
@@virginiaa4445 that is so true I was just saying that he is like a regular guy on stage and makes you feel like a friend and Stevie is a little weird and conceited she messed up when she voted him out of the band but he don't need the Mac he's a great solo artist that wrote most of Fleetwood Mac's biggest hits he is just a great singer songwriter guitarist and I put him up there with Frampton and Joe Walsh
It's funny when he acknowledges Stevie did the bulk of the work. It's also quite evident when you compare them both when they went out as solo artists. This is unlike what some of Lindsey's naive bootlickers would have you believe.
@@scotchwhisky6094 I think he was referring to Stevie's songs when he said that he did the edges, I don't believe he is suggesting that she did the bulk of the work for the band. Both had a lot to offer, you obviously prefer Stevie's work, and in the end, it's all a matter of preferences. I happen to think Lindsey was the glue that stuck all of it together but hey , each to their opinion.
@@suzannekeith68 why would you believe that when every single other person including lindsey buckingham can admit that stevie wrote songs??
Such an amazing talent. Still hoping he rejoins fm for a tour. Love all his music
I don’t know exactly why, but at the end of Big Love I literally started crying, pretty hard. Took a minute to get it together and I decided to say it in this comment. Thanks Lindsey, I needed that.
It's his best song ever ❤️
The generation who grew with linsey I think we feel so connected and woven into the chain that formed when the Big Bang of Fleetwood Mac was born. Lindsey what a master at putting the pieces together for all to love.
He is under rated as a guitarist.
Not so under rated if we have anything to say about it, hee....
He is really not that underrated he has his unique finger-picking Style that you usually only see on a banjo and anyone who has a good ear for good music and good guitar playing knows that he's a unique talent like Frampton or Joe Walsh
Not anymore
nope he is not ! =)
Said no one ever.
Even in a casual setting, he brings it 100%...emotion and commitment with no shyness or reserve
Fleetwood Mac is not Fleetwood Mac without Lyndsey Buckingham.
Sure, but Stevie solo is superior to Lindsey solo.
@@peterfedulow5491 Stevie rocks on stage and is kind at heart. Your reckless name calling is uncalled for.
Fleetwood Mac was fleetwood Mac before Lindsey , Peter green one of the greatest
TOTALLY AGREE, YOU CAN'T REPLACE LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM JUST AS STEVIE NICKS CANNOT BE REPLACED OR ANY OTHER BAND MEMBER.
I agree 💯 % !! ....... and they Know this !
I think that's a healthy percentage of why these stupid arguments keep happening.
I think ..... Lindsey Buckingham was the BEST THING TO HAPPEN to Fleetwood Mac .
Stevie Nicks is just Silently " Bitter and Scorned " Because Lindsey moved on and started a family.
I think she's just DRAGGING AROUND THIS " T-REX OF HATE AND ANGER " with her .
You never hear about her Moving On and finding her own man ...... Sadly , But she treated Lindsey Buckingham like shit I think .
And that's why he started looking away .... who wants to be alone the rest of their lives ? .
"I'm So Afraid" is one of my favourites ☺️
Lindsey and stevie have a undying love for each other it will never die
What a great interview. Lindsay seems totally honest to me. Thanks so much for that.
Another genius thing that LB did to make it nearly impossible for any cover bands to recreate the sound with his finger picking style and the icing on the cake was when he picked up that unique sound of that Rick Turner LB 1 guitar. That guitar has amazing sound especially when in overdrive. Example would be I’m so afraid. Keep rocking Lindsey!!
Nicks and Lindsay were both extremely hurt by each other. I watched a video where Nicks is singing and staring at him, cutting straight through his heart with her eyes, words and emotions on stage, yelling at him that "he will never get away", "time will haunt him and he will never forget her", while singing the song Silver Springs on the Dance Tour. I watched it 5 times in a row, and it really got to me. Watch it if you can as it is truly Amazing.
Spot on. It is haunting.
Lindsey and Stevie were seeing each other “romantically” again on that tour. Watch the rehearsal of The Dance too. Says alot. If you read a lot of the comments on those clips for Silver Springs (especially on instagram), Stevie’s “girls” always comment and laugh how she put a hex on him during that song.
Absolute genius! Master of his craft. Thank you Lindsey Buckingham.
Who knew...? what an accomplished artist he was. One needs to watch his solos to truly appreciate his artistry.
🎸
Who knew? The 50 million people who bought Rumours, maybe.
Hey mate, he STILL is!
This was a beautiful experience. He is supremely gifted, artistic, creative, sensitive and came across as deeply committed to the power of music 🎵 to connect to people and be meaningful in their lives. It was so lovely to here that his greatest accomplishment is being a dad. A rare talent. I came to fleetwood mac via stevie nicks solo 1985 album 💿 Rock A Little. Then went through her back catalogue and then fleetwood mac’s. I really enjoyed learning from him about his creative processes, as well of course seeing him perform excerpts from his own work. The interviewer was great 👍 and so lovely 😊 to see the rapture and joy he brought to the audience of young musicians and producers. I thought also that he was honest from his points of view of things not only about the band but also Stevie Nicks and that he was respectful of her awesome 👏 talent. To say she is ego driven and not an amazing songwriter like some of the comments here is rubbish. Nicks is incredibly talented and a portent performer on stage as well. As Lindsey Buckingham implied her creative process is the inverse of his. That is different to his does not take away from her talent. Come on her solo career is huge 11 solo albums . All of the band members of Fleetwood Mac are incredibly talented artists / musicians. Their music catalogue and legacy both as a band and as solo artists speak for itself. Buckinham is one of the world’s greatest contemporary guitarists and a gifted producer and arranger. Mick Fleetwood is a demon on drums and percussion. John Mcveigh a fabulous bass guitarist. Christine Perfect likewise is a brilliant song writer in the pop genre and incredible pianist and keyboardist. Stevie Nicks writes soulful powerful and image and emotionally evocative lyrics and poetry, has a voice like no other on the planet, and also plays piano and keyboards. You know together and apart they are great.
I’ve loved Lindsey since I was 6 years old, when Rumors came out. I’m still infatuated.
Think I was 16 and still have a crush on him lol he's so adorable 😍
I was so concerned you were not coming back to us. You are so talented both vocally and instrumentally. When I got the news of your heart condition,I became more concerned. You look and sound fabulous. Stay well and play that magical music.💕
Thank you for sharing this wonderful interview. I have been a huge fan of Fleetwood Mac since The Dance. I watched it with my dad as a teenager and was hooked. I've always loved Lindsey as a musician. This gave so much insight to him as an artist and person as well. And I loved how the interviewer was "fan girling out" like the young people say. I love that he played Big Love and Bleed to Love Her. I also love to hear the behind the music stuff and how respectful he was of Stevie throughout. Gosh this was great.
Modesty is a sign of talent, real talent, this guy has earned his place in music history, def a life not wasted.
His live performance of Big Love intro with all the finger picking, incredible.
A beautiful time capsule of Lindsey ❤️
Loved his strength and commitment 🎸🎵🎶🎼🥰
I witnessed from 75 to 79 in my teens,the greatness of Lindsey, and the whole group..went to the concerts..is far far away of what you get to see nowdays..great guitar player!!
Always loved Fleetwood Mac music, but never really got into Lindsey's individual talents for some reason. This interview has given me a real appreciation for his guitar playing talent and his creativity. Thanks for the video and thanks Lindsey for your gift.
I love it when lindsey smiles .♥️
I love Lindsey, what a talent! There's no FM without Lindsey, he's half the band!
Fleetwood and Mac are Fleetwood Mac. It's more like Fleetwood Mac featuring Buckingham Nicks if you feel like getting really technical.
Such a lovely, down to earth guy! What a talent too!
There is no Fleetwood Mac without him.Will never see them without him
The interviewer is in awe.
What a lovely human being, so gracious. I can listen to him all day
A truly great guitar player and a very unique finger picking electric guitar player -- great talent -
Such awesome and natural technique on the guitar + songwriting talent
That was an absolute treat of an interview. Thank you!
So beautiful! You are special, Lindsey Buckingham! What a beautiful mind, what beautiful melodies and lyrics... and passion you have passed on to us through the years... all landmarks of all kinds of things in our lives! And jeez, sexier now than ever before! LOL!
Amazing, will never tire listening and watching this handsome man So underated. Lucky SN having this man love her. Glad he found love again
I still love Tusk.
Best album.
What a wonderful interview. Lindsay is so refreshingly humble, honest and articulate. And in the end it is fatherhood that is most meaningful for him. That says all there needs to be said about this thoughtful loving man.
Another terrific interview by Malcolm Gerrie. So glad it was Lindsey's turn.
Stephanie is a beautiful song.
I'm a new Fleetwood Mac fan, and this was so enjoyable to watch. Especially whenever Lindsey plays. Didn't think he would start singing during The Chain. So cool.
Great interview, Lindsey Buckingham is the core of creativity
This was just an absolute pleasure to get to hear Lindsey's take on all that has gone on through the years. I LOVED Tusk when it came out and always will! Fleetwood Mac was lucky to get him and Stevie was lucky that he wouldn't go without her! I think he was really dealt a dirty hand when he was kicked out of the band because of a supposed eye roll when Mick and Christine were waltzing which was much more of a dig at Stevie's long-winded acceptance speeches. Apparently, it was a thing or it wouldn't have been made fun of at all. Don't get me wrong, because I love Stevie Nicks as much as I love the entire band as a whole. She has gotten me through so many of the desperate times in my life as well as the good and I thank her for that. I just don't believe it was fair to insist either he goes or she does, after everything that happened. Just one woman's opinion. Thank you so much for this wonderful interview!
Fascinating dude.
This was a great interview (which I think was posted as being broadcast sometime back in 2013). What an amazingly talented singer and guitarist! If Fleetwood Mac ever does a farewell tour, it would be great to see Lindsey rejoin the band. But there's always his solo work.
I was fortunate enough to see them during their Tango in The Night tour. Huge Mac fan since I was 11.
A genius who for me writes brilliantly musically and lyrically.
Wow wow wow!!!!! love the raw Break the Chain, Big Love, Bleed to love her - musical masterclass. Thank you for an awesome show
They really were a power couple of their time and I hope they can still be friends because the great love they had for each other is hard to achieve in this type of industry.
Fleetwood Mac's sound IS the genius of Mr. Lindsay Buckingham! 💜🙋♀️
Brilliant! This interview format (artiste with instrument) should have been done much, much, more over the years.
Enjoyed this immensely. Don't know how I missed it. Love his music and creativity as well as his approach. It's about moving forward with the music - not doing the same. He doesn't want to stick with an oldies tour. That being said - the latest Fleetwood Mac incarnation should be called Stevie Nick's Fleetwood Mac. LOL.
I would never go see Fleetwood Mac without Lindsey Buckingham Stevie Nicks is just too weird and conceited and Lindsay makes feel like an old friend, I saw him on his solo tour in 2007 at the Taft theater in Cincinnati one of the best good time rock and roll shows ever
@@donaldrobinson6502 tell me more i love cincinnati
saw him at his singles tour inTampa at
tampa theatreand it was incredible. His guitar skills are sorely underated. Thanks for a great show
Perfection! Fleetwood Mac has always been a part of my life. I had a senior moment & could not remember the name but I remembered the name Lindsey Buckingham! ✌🏼
He wrote and produced most of the White Album and Rumours. The man is a legitimate guitar God. Plus a genius producer.
Trust me can you back this up Research you would be surprised
Lindsey Buckingham is so talented as a genius that he is scary. It it wasn't for Lindsey Buckingham making Fleetwood Mac, Fleetwood Mac, Fleetwood Mac wouldn't exist like what they became.
Imagine if the Fleetwood Mac members & Stevie never had Lindsey Buckingham around them with his haunting singing and heavenly guitar playing and song arranging. The Fleetwood Mac members and Stevie would would have greatly poorer songs and much tinier careers if they never found the singularly extraordinary and phenomenal Lindsey Buckingham, and had only each other without Lindsey Buckingham.
Stevie solo produced some really great songs. But I agree Lindsey and the rest of the group were all needed to produce the sound of Fleetwood Mac.
I have a different take on the guy . Never questioned his talent or gift but why is it the guy can never get along with anyone in the band for more then a month? I believe him to be a complete narcissistic personality…
How can Neil Finn get this can kind of credit as a true auteur and talent and specifically an excellent human being? He should never be excluded from any hole of fame or honor of any kind including the Hall of Fame. Plus the mental health battles fought in his extended family and bands should give him platform we all need to hear from and learn from!
wow I'm 65 never ever like fleetwood mac, really did not like stevie nicks every time I would see her singing and thought SHE WAS the band. Now 50 yrs later I understand WHO the band actually is and now I like it, not for her, but for Lyndsey and I'd never heard his name before yesterday believe it or not. thank God for utube
what an amazing person Lindsey is and a genius
WOW he's amazing especially when he played big love. Just mind blowing
christine is my favorite band member but im seeing lindsey w different eyes now..
i always knew he was good but he's really amazing, i just never took a deeper look.
He was such a babe when he was young, all I can say is " have mercy" 🤤
Still is a babe!
Love love love Lindsay Buckingham! Love all the classic 5 of Fleetwood Mac. The White album came out when I was 10, Rumours when I was in 7th grade. Mirage came out senior year. They are my generation. Love
Lindsey Buckingham is so articulate and innovate in a intellectually creative way he has a deep understanding of his musicality and it comes through in his interviews. I also think has been under rated as a songwriter, musician, composer and producer over the years he truly is a musical genius!
Interview from 2011 , cool. Posted here April 2021. Just noticed today. Love you Lindsey
@UCWzXEWU6g3A61O96DYlPdxQ we have meant. Probably here but I can’t believe you just greeted me. It’s really you… 😘
He is so grounded and mature. So thoughtful and eloquent. What a life he’s had and the stories! I truly enjoyed watching this interview and hearing things from his perspective. He truly did change the course of musical history when he and Stevie joined FWM. Magic was created and we the fans and the world of music are the ones who benefited! ❤❤PS. How he answers the question regarding his relationship with Stevie is PRECIOUS. It felt so honest and heartfelt. It is clear that they will always have a very strong bond… 💞
Mo Ostin was the only executive that did not want to fire prince after the drty mind album. a true advocate for artist development , I think
Don't think I blinked the whole way through this interview👏🙌 😍
This video is packed gem. Thank You posting this video.
Just a wonderful musician!
its so nice to see lindsey do new music. thank you so much . love you man
