    Bob Brunning has it backwards. Mick wanted Lindsey, the guitar player in the band. Not Stevie. And wasn’t looking for another female band member. But Lindsey was the one who said that he and Stevie were a package deal. So Mick asked Christine if she could go on with another female member, to which she said as long as we get along. So they took Lindsey, and Stevie, and very soon realized Stevie Nicks was a great musician in her own right. So Bob has it backwards.

      Yes! Dead wrong. As a matter of fact, in private conversations with Stevie herself, and producer Richard Dashut, the following was discussed. Having two female lead vocalists, and songwriters on top of that, could have been absolutely disastrous. Considering the sudden exits of Kirwin and Spencer, Mick was even more apprehensive about venturing into another lineup which hadn't not worked out could have spelled the end of the band. Lyndsey was reluctant to part with Stevie and, well, we all know the rest.
      There were only two successful bands during the 70's with 2 female lead singers, ABBA and Heart. ABBA was humongous as we all know and the girls were gorgeous. Heart, come on, Anne and Nancy were total babes. Stevie said to me something that I don't think was ever discussed in mainstream, and that was the fear of being a cliche in the music world. Fans can be very fickle. They could have gone to say, oh shit, another band with 2 pretty girls just because it was the in thing at the time. Fortunately the first 2 albums blew everyone out of the water. And the Mac girls did get along famously from the first minutes they met. There was no animosity, jealousy, or compromises between them. Deeply saddened by the death of Christine and all the other members are in absolute shock.
      Cheers!

      You are absolutely correct there. I thought the exact same thing whilst watching the video. it was the other way round concerning Stevie & Lindsey. And also, didn't Stevie & Lindsey all go out for a meal with the band too. To see if they they could gel & get along with each other, as well.

    • @jorgevillavicencio427
      @jorgevillavicencio427 2 роки тому +8

      @@Mark28644 it kind of played out like this: Jess Nicks had spoken to Stevie sometime after Polydor dropped their contract because of poor sales and such. He told Stevie, listen; you're not happy, you and Lyndsey are not happy. Why don't you put a deadline on this music career and if by then you guys haven't secured anything tangible from where you can succeed and prosper, I will send you back to college and I will pay for it.
      So they did, and were in Colorado somewhere when either Richard or Ken called Lyndsey and told him that Mick Fleetwood was looking for a lead guitar and he was interested in hiring him. That's when Lyndsey said that he and Stevie were a package deal. They agreed to meet at a Mexican restaurant in LA and, the rest is history.
      Cheers!

    I like this documentary. But I do not like documentaries that get their facts incorrect. Two things, Mick Fleetwood asked Lindsay to join. He wanted Lindsay, not Stevie at first. It was Lindsey Buckingham who said he and Stevie were a package deal or it was a no go secondly, Stevie Nicks is the most prolific songwriter of the three Lindsay and Christine used to call her the mad songwriter, because of all the songs she constantly wrote and they stockpiled thus her solo career that she wanted those are the facts Jack.

      It's weird because in later interviews, Lindsey would say he did all the work in Fleetwood Mac but somehow Stevie gets all the credits because she's the vocalist? I think it was in that interview after he got kicked out of the band in 2018. He's probably js just bitter. He even said they'd prefer to keep Stevie who couldn't even play a musical instrument over him.

    Stevie Nicks is one of the great song writers and lead singers of all times. Having said that, one can not ignore the fact that she has a lot of defects of character. She has been petty, egocentric, vengeful, addict to drugs and alcohol, maybe envious. A very toxic personality, thats not saying the other members didn’t share similar traits. People do not give Buckingham enough credit for helping Stevies career. People usually associate him with abusing stevie, even if true, i always thought that to be unfair to his legacy.

      Unless you knew Stevie Nicks personally your comments & derogatory comments are not factual whatsoever. Stevie did a lot for the band, she was the lead singer of Fleetwood Mac,last I knew she still is,she also have her own successful band. Ol' Lindsey kinda flopped via his solo career, his voice was decent when he was young, but turned to screeching when he got older. I do think Stevie and Lindsey early on, together , sang well , put out some good songs, after Rumors album, Fleetwood Mac kinda started fading, it was their one big album (successful one).. Stevie's voice in 70's was perfect, it started turning deeper from her strained vocal chords, vocal chord surgery and some smoking.....
      Stevie Nicks is in 2 Rock &
      Roll Hall of Fames 1 w/ Fleetwood Mac, one w/ her own band, you cannot say that about Lindsey.
      I really like the Rumors album and Nicks and Buckingham album the best.

So credit is where it should be. Like her solo stuff was finished by other artists. Tom Petty. She can't do it all on her own. Like Lindsay and Petty can. Far more people deserved to get it The Hall before her solo crap.
