@ghost mall I like listening to Van Halen and Metallica, but I don't want to hear David Lee Roth singing for Metallica or James Hetfield singing lead vocals for Van Halen. Call it what you will, but this version is a partial cover band. If I got to a FM concert, I don't want to hear Split Ends songs, or hear Stevie singing "Free Falling". But to each their own.
25:39 "The band actually wanted to thank their drug dealer in the liner notes. They didn't, not because someone told them not to, but because their dealer died before the record came out." That's why you gotta tell your drug dealers you love them any chance you get.
How crazy is it that Christine's maiden name was Perfect? If I was John, I would have taken HER name. And then insisted that everyone address me as "Mr. Perfect" at all times.
Your unhinged obsession with waking me for RUclips videos is getting out of hand. We've discussed this, I'll watch it when I wake up. I'm worried about you. I think I'm going to take the kids with me to my Ma's for a few days
I had no idea the band had such a long history before Lindsey and Stevie joined, and also now I kinda want Todd in the Shadows to do a Trainwreckords episode on Time.
Their song albatross was on the German sci-fi television film World on a Wire, directed by German Portugal director Fassbinder. Why’d I say this? No reason at all.
ABBA would make for an amazing Deep Discog Dive one day. They have no shortage of number one singles, but do the deep cuts hit just as hard? Let’s find out!
Drama? There was so much drama. And I'm pretty sure they had a brief hiatus. And also there has been plently of changes to the lineup but the main band members tend to return
The channel will never be the same without Mic and Snare’s heartwarming relationship. I hope they can settle their differences and make 17 albums someday too
I’ve said it once before, and I’ll say it again. Weird Al DDD. The story of one man becoming a musical comedy legend is nothing short of interesting facts. Plus, I NEED to know what Mic’s favorite album is. My money’s on Even Worse or Dare to be Stupid. Plus, the Weird Al parody biopic comes out in November, so it’s a perfect opportunity to talk about him.
Fun fact: "Sun King" off the Beatles Abbey Road medley was actually inspired by Fleetwood Mac's "Albatross". George Harrison said as much in an interview years later: "At the time, 'Albatross' (by Fleetwood Mac) was out, with all the reverb on guitar. So we said, 'Let's be Fleetwood Mac doing Albatross, just to get going.' It never really sounded like Fleetwood Mac... but that was the point of origin."
it is a real pipe dream of mine for a beach boys DDD, but i almost don't want it to happen because i care too much about your sanity due to the sheer volume and violently swerving quality of their discography, not even to mention the lore and real life events
im seriously hoping that mic has a beach boys ddd planned but is saving it for a longer video like he did with the beatles. but yeah, like you said, theres so much history outside of just the albums that it could make for a video essay on its own. i cant imagine how long itd be when you get to actually talking about the albums in depth
@@pentexsucks43 It's been 2 years since the last Guide To sadly. And some of the guides he had in the pipeline would have been great. Luckily Mike ended up doing the Kate Bush one but still would have liked the Nine Inch Nails one.
1. Captions are still being worked on, they should be available within the next few days. (EDIT: Captions are now live!) 2. I’m picking the DDD for next month, but feel free to suggest artists to cover for next time. Thanks for watching!
Silver Springs is my absolute favorite Fleetwood Mac song. It’s such a crime it wasn’t on rumors because it’s Stevie Nicks at her absolute best-the lyrics and vocal performance are exquisite, and the building tension really hammers home the emotional intensity. It might be her most breakup-y song too. It was cut from Rumors because it didn’t physically fit on the album and I think she tried to actually fight Mick over it. It wasn’t officially released until it was live on the dance but nowadays you can find the original recording as a bonus track to rumors! Definitely recommend taking a listen.
I'm surprised this video failed to mention why Stevie left the band after the tour promoting Behind the Mask. It was over Silver Springs. She wanted to release it on her upcoming greatest hits album, but Mick vetoed the request since he was including it on an upcoming Fleetwood Mac box set.
Eventually, you should cover Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave and Prophets of Rage in one extended DDD. That would be a solid 7 to 8 albums and an interesting story to tell.
I would prefer a Chris cornell retrospective. But I could tell he wouldn't like the early 80s sabbath/led zep style soundgarden. It's basically doom metal lol
Thank you so much for touching on the whole 'art comes from tortured souls' thing. I was pondering this recently after watching some stuff about The Chain and how tumultuous the whole creation of Rumors was. On one hand, the album is freaking amazing, on the other, no one should have to go through that kind of pain just to make art. I appreciate your note about how we should consider that instead of being a masterpiece because of the drama, the album is a masterpiece IN SPITE of the drama.
Surprised you didn't mention Lindsey's live version of Big Love which is an absolutely spectacular piece of acoustic guitar work with vocals. You won't hear many street buskers able to pull this version off.
That whole segment with the Go Insane and Landslide performances really shows you what time and experience on the performer’s part can do for a song. Excellent stuff from him.
My list of artists I would like to see Mic talk about: -Them Crooked Vultures -Temple of the Dog -Jeff Buckley -Sex Pistols -Lauryn Hill -The Smile I’m still working on this list but it would be so cool to see Mic cover these great artists.
I just need to say, I love the Deep Discog Dive. It's absolutely my favourite music review / documentary show on RUclips. I think it has the best balance of comedy, opinion, and information (at just the right amount that doesn't overwhelm the viewer, but still gives a well-rounded story of the artist). The little jokes, quips and references give the videos a nice momentum, while not distracting from the actual content being discussed. Very thorough videos. Love 'em.
If I had to request any artist to be covered for an episode it'd have to be Neil Cicierega / Lemon Demon. I have voted for him a few times whenever there's a Deep Discog Dive Decision.
Fleetwood Mac is one of those bands with an all time top rated album that they’re mainly known for, but even if they were only known for Rumours, they would still be legends. Mirage might be my nostalgic favorite, but they could never top Rumours.
Landslide ripped my heart out, the first time that I heard it. Tusk, the song, is one of my all-time favorites. I've been known to play it, several times in a row. Losing Christie McVie, last month, was a real blow, but she left behind a whole treasure trove of great songs. May she rest in peace.
I would love a DDD on Ween. Another band who kept switching styles even within the same album. Like the 90s version of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
I really liked his take on Lana on the "Music That Defined the 2010s" so it'd be great to hear his thought of her music and the changes it went through throughout the years.
Favorite Fleetwood Mac "thing" : The Chain, 1982 live version. Crazy music moments, tension you could cut with a knife, this is my favorite performance of one of my favorite songs of all time. The other favorites are any live versions of Rhiannon
He is just a Side Note in the bands history, but Bob Brunning (the first bassist in 1967) has written a great book about British Blues bands from the Sixties called "Blues - the British Connection", which i recommend to anyone interested in that Music and scene of the 1960s.
I got chills all over my body hearing Nick talk about Rumors. Truly an excellent album all around. I still listen to it, to this very day. It sounds genuinely atemporal. It springs all kinds of emotions, and that's what I would call successful when it comes to music.
Don't be, it's my favorite as well! I love Rumours and Tusk, but there's something about Tango that just hits that perfect spot for me. I even like Family Man, which I know a lot of folks do not lol
Early Fleetwood Mac is SO underrated. It's basically stoner rock way before that was a thing. I would put them with the likes of budgie or black sabbath.
Wow. This was really well done and very well researched. I own 46 Fleetwood Mac albums, including bootlegs. This may be the best retrospective of the band I've seen. Hope you don't mind me pointing out two minor mistakes. Peter Green didn't have a name for the instrumental he recorded and John Mayall suggested calling it Fleetwood Mac because he recorded the song with Fleetwood and McVie. Also Blues jam at Chess is not a live album. It was recorded at Chess studios which was going to be closing. Much as I love Rumours, my favorite Mac album is Tusk.
@@grettalemabouchou6779 I've collected them from different eras. Some from Peter Green days, some from Bob Welch days and most from the Stevie and Lindsey era. I have several from radio broadcasts, so those are good quality. You can find a lot of shows on RUclips.
I've always seen Bare Trees referred to on forums as many people's favourite underrated/underappreciated Fleetwood Mac album so it's awesome seeing it getting this kind of coverage
In my adult life, I've always been a bigger fan of early Fleetwood Mac. So it was really fun seeing how people had no idea that they were a completely different band!
Legit my favorite band and honestly it's impossible to pick a favorite album. Rumours is obviously the best but I have a soft spot for Tango In The Night. They're just so great
Very well done! My first time hearing a Fleetwood Mac song was in 1975. I was 14 or 15, and was hanging out with my girlfriend. Rhiannon came on the radio. It was magic. I also remember all the radio stations going on about the price of the Tusk album. I tried to record it but it didn't turn out well. Again, great job! Oh, Steely Dan and Talking Heads would make great deep dives. Rush too, but there are already a couple of decent docs for them. Heck, there were already some Fleetwood Mac docs out but that didn't stop you haha. Or an Adrian Belew dive. He sure made the rounds.
my favorite Fleetwood Mac song is "Go Your Own Way" because it's both a fuckin bop and has an angry tension to the vocals that always catches me off guard in the chorus.
I literally cannot get enough of Peter Greens fleetwood mac. I consider them perfect, i wish more people knew of them. Not that the Stevie and lindsay fleetwood mac wasn’t good, just peters was so different. Definitely a top 5 for me
In London people crossed out “Clapton” is God and replaced it with Green(Baum) is God. Had the pleasure of knowing and listening to both. Just pinch me!!!! 🍀
Just wanted to throw in a thanks for this video - not only did you sum up a complicated story while making me laugh along the way, but as a casual Fleetwood Mac fan I was so excited to check out the playlist you assembled and it did not disappoint. (Damn, “Mystery to Me” is a real gem of an album, and Bob Welch deserves so much more credit for his contributions in retrospect.) I was fortunate to see the Rumours lineup live in 2015 and they still put on a phenomenal show then. What a talented group of people all around.
Quick mention that Fleetwood Mac also helped with the musical transition from bluesy hard rock to heavy metal with "Oh Well (Part 1)". Not that most metalheads will admit that a band like the Mac ever had anything to do with metal, just like the Osmonds.
I’d really enjoy a Depeche Mode deep discog dive, I feel their evolution would be fun to look at and they have great songs spanning over more than two decades.
Mick Fleetwood and George Harrison were brothers in law for several years. Its one of the least known things in rock music, and is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've read Pattie Boyd's autobiography and it is amazing.
Jenny Boyd has two incredible books too!! I was singing on MICK’S solo album “the Vistor” with George and he asked me to come to his home Friar Park to sing with him on his movie score for “The Time Bandits”. Not long after John Lennon was murdered and Jon Bonham passed. I felt blessed to be there with Mick to try and comfort them. And sing too I must add. Sorry. I had to name drop. At Jimmy Page’s
I just fell in love with Stevies songwriting ever since hearing Rhiannon. Has never changed. But the mix of Stevie, Christine and Lindsey is what made Fleetwood Mac so interesting. I'm grateful I got to see them twice!
I wanna point out that the people they added for the album time, Dave Mason and Bekka Bramlett have connections to the 1960s British blues scene. Dave Mason was known for being in the band Traffic, and Bekka Bramlett was the daughter of Bonnie Bramlett of Delaney and Bonnie (which Eric Clapton and George Harrison played with)
This is probably one of the most helpful episodes in this series so far for me. I’ve really only been familiar with the second self-titled album, Rumours, Tusk, and a few songs outside of those albums. I wanted to go deeper but had no idea which ones were the good ones, especially during the early 70s. So thank you for this one!
Christine Was Most Awesome & The Very Beautiful Sweet Songbird ❤️❤️🙏🙏 She Left A Beautiful Sweet & Awesome Legacy ❤️❤️🙏🙏 Love Her Beautiful Sweet & Heavenly Peaceful Voice ❤️❤️🙏🙏 Love Her ❤️❤️🙏🙏 I Have Listened To Christine & Fleetwood Mac Since The 1970S And Now In My 70S !

God Bless Sweet Christine And All That Loved Her Too ❤️❤️🙏🙏💕💕🙏🙏🏵️🌺🌸💐🌼🍀❤️💛💙💚🇺🇸🇩🇪💛❤️💙💚
As a 40 something, I've come full circle. Fleetwood Mac has been shown to me by every cool parent when I was teenager, back when music was everything. Now it is being shown to me in depth by someone of an age range I could have fathered. It blows my mind when I think about it, that the music of the 80s and 90s now is like 50s and 60s we're to me as a teenager.
I was conceived to Rumors. In a state of hypnotic memory regression it was revealed to me that Landslide was the first song I heard after being born and brought home.
In the Super Deluxe version of Rumours there is Planets of the Universe. Stevie went on to include the song in her solo album but this version is much more intimate and superior in my opinion. Y'all should check it out
'Sentimental Lady' is hands down my favorite Fleetwood Mac song (Oh Well is a close second). Bob Welch was a genius imo for that number. But very specifically the Bare Trees version. I'm not as hot on the adult contemporary solo version on his French Kiss album, even though it's still his song.
Oh yes! Mic covering them means more people get to learn their really interesting history, going from a British blues band more similar to Cream all the way to the Mac everyone knows.
Okay, so I hadn’t known about this channel until very recently. The algorithm fed me your Glee video, and then several months later it fed me the 90s video, and now I’m hooked. I have ALWAYS wanted to get into several bands but been daunted by the history and backlog of some like Fleetwood Mac. This not only gives a clear breakdown but I REALLY appreciate your Spotify playlists for lining it all up in an easy listening order! These are great video ideas.
This video is such a great showcase of Christine's writing. I only just watched it for the first time recently but am coming back to appreciate it once more given the news. RIP
I know this is a total longshot, but would you ever consider doing a small spin-off branch about post-FM Bob Welch? Mainly because I’d love to know what you think of French Kiss, I mean what a damn record that was.
I have never really gotten into their music before but after hearing about Christine McVie’s passing I checked out your DDD to hear about their history and discography and you did an amazing job highlighting the individual member’s contributions, especially hers, so great job Mr. The Snare!
Mic… how could you forget to mention Lindsey’s rendition of Big Love on The Dance. It’s some of his best guitar work. I’m hurt, sad, and i wish nothing but Time upon you
These guys definitely have one of the most interesting evolutions of any band in history. Either you started with them as they set off as a premier blues band or you joined in the Buckingham/Nicks era where they went gangbusters, but either group would be amazed that that's where they started/ended up, like imagine telling people who bought Rumours in 77 that they'd been around for 9 years and had already made 10 studio albums and had a revolving door of some 14 or 15 musicians? Also, 'Then Play On' is easily my favorite album of theirs front to back. Still in the Peter Green era so you still get one of the greatest British blues players of all time, but this time with the added genius of Danny Kirwan, and if you tack on Then Play On era singles 'Oh Well' and 'The Green Manalishi', the album is practically overpowered
You didn't mention the Bob Brunning story. Whilst they were waiting on John McVie, they put an ad in Melody Maker asking for a short term bassist. Bob replies, and Peter goes round to his house to meet him. Peter knocks on the door and says to Bob 'hi, I'm Peter Green'. To which Bob replies 'that's a good name for a blues guitarist. There's that bloke in John Mayall, supposed to be better than Clapton...'
"If YOU want to get into Fleetwood Mac... you should definitely send them a demo tape, they're probably currently looking for a new member."
Best comment I saw today lol
Ba dum, psht
You mean the Crowded Mac and the Heartbreakers version isn't cutting it?
@ghost mall I like listening to Van Halen and Metallica, but I don't want to hear David Lee Roth singing for Metallica or James Hetfield singing lead vocals for Van Halen. Call it what you will, but this version is a partial cover band. If I got to a FM concert, I don't want to hear Split Ends songs, or hear Stevie singing "Free Falling". But to each their own.
@ghost mall I think if the new lineup actually puts out a new album with their own material, I'll give them a little more credibility.
25:39 "The band actually wanted to thank their drug dealer in the liner notes. They didn't, not because someone told them not to, but because their dealer died before the record came out."
That's why you gotta tell your drug dealers you love them any chance you get.

I know it’s been a year, but I definitely second this!!
I need an ABBA discog dive. Not only are the albums amazing but also the story behind the band too.
Yes PLEASE!!
It's amazing to see that a band can stick with one consistent lineup for iver 50 years with no drama or hiatus at all.
That's ZZ Top
Rush as well, basically the same exact same lineup from 1974 until the very end. Also U2
Well, there wasn’t any hiatus but drama was there in spades
Other than a blip in the early 80s, and considering their heinous behaviour, Aerosmith were remarkably consistent.
Drama? There was so much drama. And I'm pretty sure they had a brief hiatus. And also there has been plently of changes to the lineup but the main band members tend to return
The channel will never be the same without Mic and Snare’s heartwarming relationship. I hope they can settle their differences and make 17 albums someday too

Pretty sure Silver Springs is THE reason The Dance sold so well. It's definitely why I bought the album.
Same! It's my favourite FM song. I was obsessed with Stevie's voice on it

I just need to say, I love the Deep Discog Dive. It's absolutely my favourite music review / documentary show on RUclips.

Wdym they topped it with tusk
@@diamond3749 It's been a while since I listened to Tusk, but I'm willing to bet it doesn't surpass Rumours for me
tango in the night was better then rumours tbh
RIP Christine Mcvie, the best songwriter of the group, in my opinion.
Landslide ripped my heart out, the first time that I heard it. Tusk, the song, is one of my all-time favorites. I've been known to play it, several times in a row. Losing Christie McVie, last month, was a real blow, but she left behind a whole treasure trove of great songs. May she rest in peace.
Fun fact: Stevie is going to be on 2 tracks on the new gorillaz album coming out in February 2023.

They are on the poll so let’s hope.
@@ringer1324 where can I find the poll?

I love that one cuz Mick looks like he’s in tears We called it his “Plea For Love!” I sent it to him for Maui help. Poor babe. 😢
"Rhiannon" is one of the best songs ever written. I adore the live version. Nicks is an outstanding vocalist.
"Mystery To Me", man... "Why" is such an incredible tune. Christine's vocals?!?! Hell yes I'm here for it. And that slide guitar open? Oh, boy!
Good call on the slide
"Paddle backwards on a river of cocaine" is an excellent line
He is just a Side Note in the bands history, but Bob Brunning (the first bassist in 1967) has written a great book about British Blues bands from the Sixties called "Blues - the British Connection", which i recommend to anyone interested in that Music and scene of the 1960s.
Really shocked this isn’t past an hour long given how many damn albums there are.

Got that right! I missed LB but that song is stellar. Talented and Saintly Neil is.
Christine's songs were a breathe of fresh air. She was tough and talented...rest in peace darling.💜🦋🐝🦋💜

Personally, Tango In The Night is actually my favorite of Fleetwood Mac’s classic era.
I feel like such a loser when I tell people that, though. 😅
Don't be, it's my favorite as well! I love Rumours and Tusk, but there's something about Tango that just hits that perfect spot for me. I even like Family Man, which I know a lot of folks do not lol
I think Lindsay's songs have held up much better than Stevie's and Christine's from that album.
i love tango it’s probably my fave album by them :)
Early Fleetwood Mac is SO underrated. It's basically stoner rock way before that was a thing. I would put them with the likes of budgie or black sabbath.
Is amazing how he consistently keeps overlookling "I'm so afraid" through the entire video. Despite being top 10 material
Wow. This was really well done and very well researched. I own 46 Fleetwood Mac albums, including bootlegs. This may be the best retrospective of the band I've seen. Hope you don't mind me pointing out two minor mistakes. Peter Green didn't have a name for the instrumental he recorded and John Mayall suggested calling it Fleetwood Mac because he recorded the song with Fleetwood and McVie. Also Blues jam at Chess is not a live album. It was recorded at Chess studios which was going to be closing. Much as I love Rumours, my favorite Mac album is Tusk.
Wow Frank I would love to hear the bootlegs!!!
@@grettalemabouchou6779 I've collected them from different eras. Some from Peter Green days, some from Bob Welch days and most from the Stevie and Lindsey era. I have several from radio broadcasts, so those are good quality. You can find a lot of shows on RUclips.
Me too
@@itsakittyxoxwow. The actual Sara from the song? Honored to have you reply to my comment.
@@frankingenito Jim Ladd has a good 3 parter from 1978ish. Post Forum gig.
I've always seen Bare Trees referred to on forums as many people's favourite underrated/underappreciated Fleetwood Mac album so it's awesome seeing it getting this kind of coverage
I loved the subtlety of Brett's delivery of Rumors. Thank you for the FOTC scene inclusion 😂
In my adult life, I've always been a bigger fan of early Fleetwood Mac. So it was really fun seeing how people had no idea that they were a completely different band!
Legit my favorite band and honestly it's impossible to pick a favorite album. Rumours is obviously the best but I have a soft spot for Tango In The Night. They're just so great
Very well done! My first time hearing a Fleetwood Mac song was in 1975. I was 14 or 15, and was hanging out with my girlfriend. Rhiannon came on the radio. It was magic. I also remember all the radio stations going on about the price of the Tusk album. I tried to record it but it didn't turn out well. Again, great job!
Oh, Steely Dan and Talking Heads would make great deep dives. Rush too, but there are already a couple of decent docs for them. Heck, there were already some Fleetwood Mac docs out but that didn't stop you haha.
Or an Adrian Belew dive. He sure made the rounds.
A Genesis or King Crimson DDD would be wonderful
"The Dance" is my favourite album of all time. I absolutely adore everything about that album.
my favorite Fleetwood Mac song is "Go Your Own Way" because it's both a fuckin bop and has an angry tension to the vocals that always catches me off guard in the chorus.
"If you wanna get into Fleetwood Mac..."
I mean it doesn't seem that hard to be a member of the band, sure I'll join.
I literally cannot get enough of Peter Greens fleetwood mac. I consider them perfect, i wish more people knew of them. Not that the Stevie and lindsay fleetwood mac wasn’t good, just peters was so different. Definitely a top 5 for me
In London people crossed out “Clapton” is God and replaced it with Green(Baum) is God.
Had the pleasure of knowing and listening to both. Just pinch me!!!! 🍀
I absolutely love Tango in the Night, and I'm now coming to the realisation that it might've been their last good album.
Just wanted to throw in a thanks for this video - not only did you sum up a complicated story while making me laugh along the way, but as a casual Fleetwood Mac fan I was so excited to check out the playlist you assembled and it did not disappoint. (Damn, “Mystery to Me” is a real gem of an album, and Bob Welch deserves so much more credit for his contributions in retrospect.) I was fortunate to see the Rumours lineup live in 2015 and they still put on a phenomenal show then. What a talented group of people all around.
Quick mention that Fleetwood Mac also helped with the musical transition from bluesy hard rock to heavy metal with "Oh Well (Part 1)". Not that most metalheads will admit that a band like the Mac ever had anything to do with metal, just like the Osmonds.
I'd love a DDD on Florence + the Machine
I’d really enjoy a Depeche Mode deep discog dive, I feel their evolution would be fun to look at and they have great songs spanning over more than two decades.
I will forever love Stevie Nicks. When my grandmother died she gave me amazing advice on moving forward in life.
Mick Fleetwood and George Harrison were brothers in law for several years. Its one of the least known things in rock music, and is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've read Pattie Boyd's autobiography and it is amazing.
Jenny Boyd has two incredible books too!!
I was singing on MICK’S solo album “the Vistor” with George and he asked me to come to his home Friar Park to sing with him on his movie score for “The Time Bandits”. Not long after John Lennon was murdered and Jon Bonham passed. I felt blessed to be there with Mick to try and comfort them. And sing too I must add. Sorry. I had to name drop.
At Jimmy Page’s
We recorded at Jimmy’s studio the Mil and syed with him and his family I asked him to play Zep l and we cranked it. Pinch me again
I just fell in love with Stevies songwriting ever since hearing Rhiannon.
Has never changed.
But the mix of Stevie, Christine and Lindsey is what made Fleetwood Mac so interesting. I'm grateful I got to see them twice!
I wanna point out that the people they added for the album time, Dave Mason and Bekka Bramlett have connections to the 1960s British blues scene. Dave Mason was known for being in the band Traffic, and Bekka Bramlett was the daughter of Bonnie Bramlett of Delaney and Bonnie (which Eric Clapton and George Harrison played with)
This is probably one of the most helpful episodes in this series so far for me. I’ve really only been familiar with the second self-titled album, Rumours, Tusk, and a few songs outside of those albums. I wanted to go deeper but had no idea which ones were the good ones, especially during the early 70s. So thank you for this one!
Mystery to me is my favourite album from FM. And Why is my favourite track. I’m so pleased that someone else agrees!

As a 40 something, I've come full circle. Fleetwood Mac has been shown to me by every cool parent when I was teenager, back when music was everything. Now it is being shown to me in depth by someone of an age range I could have fathered. It blows my mind when I think about it, that the music of the 80s and 90s now is like 50s and 60s we're to me as a teenager.
Yes! One of my favorite bands ever. When I heard Rumours for the first time I fell in love with music all over again
The Bob Welch Danny Kirwan era albums were so dreamy and spacious I reckon they could be proto Dream Pop
I was conceived to Rumors.
In a state of hypnotic memory regression it was revealed to me that Landslide was the first song I heard after being born and brought home.
In the Super Deluxe version of Rumours there is Planets of the Universe. Stevie went on to include the song in her solo album but this version is much more intimate and superior in my opinion. Y'all should check it out
Please god do one on Queens of the Stone Age or Massive Attack (maybe even RHCP, Tool, NIN or Muse too)
please, black sabbath next!
I appreciate you dedicating so much time to the early years as I often feel like they are a footnote and the primary focus goes to the Rumours era
That's pretty much the MO of DDD
'Sentimental Lady' is hands down my favorite Fleetwood Mac song (Oh Well is a close second). Bob Welch was a genius imo for that number. But very specifically the Bare Trees version. I'm not as hot on the adult contemporary solo version on his French Kiss album, even though it's still his song.
Oh yes! Mic covering them means more people get to learn their really interesting history, going from a British blues band more similar to Cream all the way to the Mac everyone knows.
I almost cant believe that Dreams was written in 10 minutes, to write something that sounds so... flawless in such a short time, amazing.
This was such a great/fun glimpse into Fleetwood Mac. So many things I didn’t know, and so many tracks to check out. THANK YOU MR. SNARE.
According to the intro you mean Mr. The
I was born in the 90's but can imagine the world stopping when Rumors dropped in the 70s
Bare Trees is definitely one of the most underrated album of all time
I hate that I have been to the Raising Cane's in Dekalb IL.
Crazy, I was watching this 2 days ago before Christine died. May she rest.
Landslide isn't just my favourite Fleetwood Mac song. It's my favourite song of all time
Definitely should do one on Queens of the Stone Age, and I think a lot of people here agree with me
100%
yessir
probably my favourite band that isn't Radiohead ever, would love a DDD
👍
Okay, so I hadn’t known about this channel until very recently. The algorithm fed me your Glee video, and then several months later it fed me the 90s video, and now I’m hooked. I have ALWAYS wanted to get into several bands but been daunted by the history and backlog of some like Fleetwood Mac. This not only gives a clear breakdown but I REALLY appreciate your Spotify playlists for lining it all up in an easy listening order! These are great video ideas.
This video is such a great showcase of Christine's writing. I only just watched it for the first time recently but am coming back to appreciate it once more given the news. RIP
I know this is a total longshot, but would you ever consider doing a small spin-off branch about post-FM Bob Welch? Mainly because I’d love to know what you think of French Kiss, I mean what a damn record that was.
I’m on the “Three Hearts” single. Right side. I know. Bragging about Nobel Prize 🏆 stuff again…. 🙇🏻♀️
Great video, love your sense of humor! A DDD about Nine Inch Nails would be pretty cool I think
I have never really gotten into their music before but after hearing about Christine McVie’s passing I checked out your DDD to hear about their history and discography and you did an amazing job highlighting the individual member’s contributions, especially hers, so great job Mr. The Snare!
Please do a deep dive of Electric Light Orchestra (and subsequently the off-shoots of ELO part II and orKestra if you want to get into it) :)
Mic… how could you forget to mention Lindsey’s rendition of Big Love on The Dance. It’s some of his best guitar work. I’m hurt, sad, and i wish nothing but Time upon you
Next, either The Who or Elton John
Live versions of I'm So Afraid is what im loving recently
F YES!
Mic, this one is pure comedy gold. Keep it up!
These guys definitely have one of the most interesting evolutions of any band in history. Either you started with them as they set off as a premier blues band or you joined in the Buckingham/Nicks era where they went gangbusters, but either group would be amazed that that's where they started/ended up, like imagine telling people who bought Rumours in 77 that they'd been around for 9 years and had already made 10 studio albums and had a revolving door of some 14 or 15 musicians?
Also, 'Then Play On' is easily my favorite album of theirs front to back. Still in the Peter Green era so you still get one of the greatest British blues players of all time, but this time with the added genius of Danny Kirwan, and if you tack on Then Play On era singles 'Oh Well' and 'The Green Manalishi', the album is practically overpowered
Great work, again! Nice to see so much love for the Welch/Kirwan stuff, an unsung era.
You didn't mention the Bob Brunning story.
Whilst they were waiting on John McVie, they put an ad in Melody Maker asking for a short term bassist. Bob replies, and Peter goes round to his house to meet him. Peter knocks on the door and says to Bob 'hi, I'm Peter Green'.
To which Bob replies 'that's a good name for a blues guitarist. There's that bloke in John Mayall, supposed to be better than Clapton...'
I just really like how you say "penguin" LOL
