I think ABBA could go through the FM catalog and do all the songs just as well, except maybe not the fingerpicking ones that Buckingham does. Conversely, FM could go through the ABBA catalog and do all the songs just as well except for Nicks vocal ability.
Did he say he loved them? I think he said they were "brilliant" (but why?) and that there was an 'analogy" b/c they had 2 guys and 2 girls... just like fLEETWOOD MAC!!!
@@notbraindead7298 Frida and Agnetha are mezzo soprano and soprano. Stevie is contralto, which is more rare voice type. It wouldn’t be fair to compare and to have each attempt to perform the other’s although perhaps the results would be interesting. Abba songs wouldn’t sound right performed contralto and Fleetwood Mac songs, at least Stevie’s, wouldn’t sound right performed soprano. I also don’t think its a fair comparison because Frida and Agnetha usually sang together and two voices together especially soprano range will almost always sound richer than one (which is why you often hear solo singer’s voices “doubled” wherein there are two tracks of their voice instead of one, as if they are cloned and the two clones are singing together and the result is often very strong and rich). Also with three different main singer songwriters, Fleetwood Mac could sometimes sound almost like three different bands with a musical thread of cohesiveness running through them sometimes overt and sometimes subtle, whereas ABBA had a more consistent and predictable sound (some would call it a gimmick sound but I’m not saying that). I don’t think either band would be right to cover the other band’s material but it’s not a matter of quality or talent, just style and sound. (P.S. I’m not counting Bjorn in my analysis because most people do not identify his voice directly with the trademark ABBA sound.)
LG Hey, LG, the "drama" that Spencer Abrams is referring to is the drama of the Buckingham/Nicks era of Fleetwood Mac, and that only started 45 years ago, when Buckingham and Nicks joined FM. Got it? Great! AMF, dude!
I listen to them more than I listen to The Beatles. I prefer the vocals - they're warmer. They got patronised so much when I was growing up. Sneered at. Totally undeserved.
Dear Lindsey,I have just learnt about the open heart surgery you had to undergo some days ago. Gey well soon,the world needs you!!!!! I am strongly praying for your complete recovery,and many many more years of joyful musicmaking!!!!!! Sergio
But Garfunkel's hair was more of a classic Jewfro. Lindsey's hair, on the other hand, has more of a "mad scientist" vibe, which couldn't be more fitting for him.
Strange.. here’s one of THE greatest musicians/music producers EVER - and a highly intelligent, interesting man too - yet the dim comments focus on who he looks like… ah well, pearls before swine…
YOU try living with paparazzi trying to stick microphones in your face for 40 years. It's one reason it's difficult to communicate with anyone, they've learned to talk by listening to people(their parents and almost everyone else) trying to dodge questions.
Eddie Fengya yes i have loved his solo work! He has done about 5 or 6 albums in the last 10 years or less, so it has been a really prolific period for him. i think he has taken a lot of care to really find the truth of the artist. If that makes sense. This work has been definitely some of his best.
@@ssia6938 I buy FM albums and concert tickets when the band is together (LB is in the band). I could care less if Nicks there or not. The best things Nicks has done are mostly popular because of LB's fingerpicking guitar style.
@@kleec0203 - Not as much as Stevie. There's a whole soap-opera about the group, and they're lucky to be alive - especially Lindsey(Get better, guy!) - but then, so was most of the audience.
Which one? Lindsey's been buying & later selling properties for years. His old studio garage where Tango in the Night was recorded was called The Slope. Mick Fleetwood owned a house in Hawaii nicknamed The Blue Whale.
This is like an interview on Space Ghost Coast to Coast. Can't you just hear Space Ghost asking Lindsey about Alf and string cheese? Then hear Moltar and Zorak ask about cocaine? (Zorak shakes his fist) "Tell us about the cocaine!"
Feeling bad for Lindsey have a speedy recovery and prayers and thought go out to him and his TRUE family !!! Being asked about Cocaine NO BRAINER!! 80s were the best musically the best ...ABBA let’s face it PG version of Fleetwood Mac!!! Let’s be honest now!!! Lolol
I think he's getting his due now. More people are getting hip to everything he is as a musician outside of Fleetwood Mac. I think Robby Krieger of the Doors had the same problem for a long time.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH I saw Lindsey on one of those dumb "top 100 guitarists" lists rated at #100 🤮. I think people who are really great instrumentalists understand and respect what a top tier artist Lindsey is but most casual or novice fans and guitarists don't understand how insanely godly his technique is. Lindsey also chooses not to shred so people don't know that he can but he simply chooses not to (because it's boring if you do it on every song)
I understand "string cheese" is popular in the states, we have the equivalent "cheese singles" in the UK, which is in essence plastic tasting cheese. I also liked Mickey Mouse, my mum drew a good picture in chalk of him, when I was a child on my blackboard!
Hahaha I wanted to type that this is such a big difference with rappers like Vince staples and Kevin Gates, yet the last part got weird and was a complete perfect closure for the interview
....Lindsey was NOT feeling those Alf & string cheese questions! (3:53) ...ha-HAAA!! ....that look of disgust, and blending the questions together....It's like asking Sting about "GTA"!!
Also he definitely said more about cocaine before it cut to the next one lmfao
Only because he could have spent literal hours talking detailing how much damage it did to Stevie and her brain and her memories.
@@ja3482 AND his brain and memories.
@@spiritof6663 you seriously comparing the massive volume of ❄️ that Stevie inhaled to Lindsey's use? BRO.
Lindsey took a LOT LESS than stevie did, that's why stevie sounded so different in tango in the night
@@xenoxia No, he didn't lol
Me: *"Ok, brain, we have an exam tomorrow, we've got to focus on the book"*
My brain: *"Does Alf do cocaine?"*
I love Fleetwood Mac and I love that Lindsey loves ABBA
@Marvin Morawski Ritchie Blackmore loves ABBA as well... To cut it short: any decent musician gotta love ABBA. Or to appreciate it, at least.
I think ABBA could go through the FM catalog and do all the songs just as well, except maybe not the fingerpicking ones that Buckingham does. Conversely, FM could go through the ABBA catalog and do all the songs just as well except for Nicks vocal ability.

Amazing how the members of Fleetwood Mac manage to be entrenched in the same drama for 50 years lmfao. Legendary.

@@daveguy11 Yes 50 years. The got together in the late 60s. Lol

yES, AMAZING HOW MUCH INTEREST (AND REVENUE) IT GENERATES.
"Alf?! I didn't watch Alf!" "OK, then - cocaine..."
yeah, that escalated quickly :D
Well, he never WATCHED cocaine either, to be fair...
yes lets be real
Ironically, ALF was a product of rampant cocaine.
I like how Lindsey is finally getting a chance to talk 😂😂😂
Whats up with that?
@@Jonqen SNL
FLEETWOOOOOD
😂😂😂
Facts!
@@Jonqen I see what you did there LOL!
I've seen a lot of appreciation for ABBA recently and I am loving it.
I listen to them more than I listen to The Beatles. I prefer the vocals - they're warmer. They got patronised so much when I was growing up. Sneered at. Totally undeserved.
ABBA was uniquely talented, great songs, tons of talent, great musicianship. I loved their music.

ABBA was so totally talented, music, vocals, and writing. They had it all.
Lindsey's hair's looking about as Art Garfunkelish as I've seen it.
Itelkner Well 1986 Lindsey looks like ted bundy 😂
But Garfunkel's hair was more of a classic Jewfro. Lindsey's hair, on the other hand, has more of a "mad scientist" vibe, which couldn't be more fitting for him.
Look at the human Brillo pad
Good call! I was subconsciously trying to put those two together thank you!
Strange.. here’s one of THE greatest musicians/music producers EVER - and a highly intelligent, interesting man too - yet the dim comments focus on who he looks like… ah well, pearls before swine…
Good taste. Respects greatness in ABBA.
He didn’t really play by the rules of the game; He just simply talked about his experience with each instead of saying over/under. 😂😂
Sabine Wilson sooo many of the older musicians do that! it’s like watching your grandparents ramble about everything.
This man had nothing interesting to say about anything. It's like he slept through it
It's Lindsey Buckingham. He can do what he wants! :P

Me neither.
But do you buy his solo albums and his solo concert tickets? His fans are fair weather compared to Nicks.

They were the cocaine
Doing blow?
Lindsey Buckingham a good man and he's a funny man and a great musician
Nothing is over/underrated to Buckingham... what ever you ask him it just "is."
Heal fast Lindsay Your voice
Will be fine
He probably calls his house Buckingham palace.
Best comment! Ever ,I think?!🤘🙀🧐🤘✌

no its the house on the hill
Genius. Put respect on Fleetwood mac - TUSK’s name everyone
He’s so adorable😭😭
You asked HIM about COCAINE???
Tbf I've seen him sport a cocaine jaw lol

ALF’s main writer was a HUGE HEROIN ADDICT
I hope we have one more Fleetwood Mac reunion. Before our days are through.
Sadly that won’t happen RIP Christine mcvie
Why does he sound like Alan Alda?
Probably his accent and voice inflections.
Because he's LB and he can sound like whoever he wants !!
Alan Alda's brother
@ Ben Rowe, NO, actually you meant Howard Stern sounds like Alan Alda!
Fleetwood Mac on tour with Lindsey Buckingham is underrated.
Fleetwood Mac on tour without Lindsey Buckingham is overrated.
You Tuber that makes no sense.
You Tuber It was Stevie not wanting to release new music with Fleetwood mac that made it stale
He's not underrated. Lol
WTF are you on about
GET WELL SOON LINDSEY!!
Feeling bad for Lindsey have a speedy recovery and prayers and thought go out to him and his TRUE family !!!
Being asked about Cocaine NO BRAINER!! 80s were the best musically the best ...ABBA let’s face it PG version of Fleetwood Mac!!! Let’s be honest now!!! Lolol
1:40 "not knowing when to stop"
*They cut him on the most interesting part
Jeez p4k
Most underrated guitarist ever!
Is he? I thought he has always been acknowledged as one of the greats. Try composing and playing a song like Never Going Back Again.
I think he's getting his due now. More people are getting hip to everything he is as a musician outside of Fleetwood Mac. I think Robby Krieger of the Doors had the same problem for a long time.
I think most people that are aware of the FM catalog are also aware of just how great a guitarist Buckingham is.
For real.

his guitar playing would be quite interesting with abba
His fingerpicking ability would enhance any group he played with. Especially ABBA. But ABBA did just fine without him!😊😊
Lindsay you're my favorite man musician you will humble you are funny and you're a good guy
He seems like a good lad.
Outstanding artist.
A great man once said "Cocaine is a hell of a drug"
@@Majortorque69 if given the opportunity you always take it haha!!!
Cold Blooded
Rick James bitch
Its an even greater come down tho. Still suffering from a massive one ... ouch!
Said the late Robin Williams and many others. Yep... straight to hell.
Big Luv to you Lindsey!. keep rocking!.. you are a Legend!! 😊..
What do you guys have against lighting your guests?
why does he look like he's about to help me sneak into the thalmor embassy 😭😩
adam fothers I’m fucking dead 😂😂 the thalmor are gonna be hunting him the rest of his life
Lindsey Buckingham better provide the soundtrack to Todd Howard's next big mess
...i really like these ...see another side of the artists....thx for posting
Legend 💙
He looks good for his age!
Get well soon, Lindsey
Shoutout to Lindsey for saying the subject of the query out loud, so I can goof off on my iPad and not have to look up at what it is.
I think the 80's is neither over or underrated. The 60's is over rated, the 70's underrated.
he's hilarious
Alf actually preferred heroin.
"does Ald do cocaine? Maybe." Classic!
Love this guy he is the best part of Fleetwood Mac
fr
Hes funny
"Does alf eat string cheese ya think? Uuuh
Ill bet he does!" 😂😂😂😂😂
Lindsey Buckingham in this reminds me of an older Dennis Reynolds. When Dennis got high with Charlie.
I love this series but I've never stopped hating the portraits in the end. Are they really required?
I love Lindsey's wrap up at the end LOL 03:54
Whats up with that ?!
Nika Beselia-OoooooWeee
Shoulda let 'im talk. He would've told you!
Such a funny skit
Do an Over Under segment with Charlie Parr
I understand "string cheese" is popular in the states, we have the equivalent "cheese singles" in the UK, which is in essence plastic tasting cheese. I also liked Mickey Mouse, my mum drew a good picture in chalk of him, when I was a child on my blackboard!
Trouble nice song
He is a brilliant guitarist. also good he did not bag Abba as many do.
You spent all the gear budget to light the background and forgot to light the subject.
Love you Lindsey! x
Hahaha I wanted to type that this is such a big difference with rappers like Vince staples and Kevin Gates, yet the last part got weird and was a complete perfect closure for the interview
“Does ALF do cocaine?...maybe?”
Fleetwood Mac had there name changed to Subculture for the cocaine part
Good interview. Not sure if he quite understands the concept of over/under though
....Lindsey was NOT feeling those Alf & string cheese questions! (3:53) ...ha-HAAA!! ....that look of disgust, and blending the questions together....It's like asking Sting about "GTA"!!
Jeez, the stories this man has.
SOS is one of the greatest songs ever...
legend/icon ! ! !
Aww he's cute, I'd love to have a conversation with him
Quite surprising as ABBA werent sooo famous in the USA in 70s
he’s needs to be protected
Anybody know that Lindsey actually has a song on the BACK TO THE FUTURE SOUNDTRACK?
He also does the theme song for National Lampoons Vacation.. Holiday Road..
a two a three a fooooouahhhhh
I thought he was saying two ah three a foul
For decades I thought it "Oooh a bird, a fowl." I feel so stupid.
Think I'm in trouble....
Squandered opportunity, Pitchfork folks. Alf? Stringcheese?
Tell me about it
You can arrange a song for me anytime love love love Fleetwood Mac always did and always will
i bet Alf could blow a massive line with that giant snout of his.
4:09 that was very uncalled for😭
Lindsey, did you get the memo that you have to say over or under?
what did he do to that was so bad in fleetwood mac
i've never read anything about that
Personally, I enjoyed a small amount of toot with a few cold beers at parties back in the early 1980s. Most people just did too much of it too often.
Same. All things responsibly in moderation.
That was pretty funny. LB answers all questions.
When was this recorded?
Buckingham ranked 100th in Rolling Stone's 2011 list of "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" - under/over?
someone needs to tell him about how "baby sharks" song ripped off "second hand blues". Look into that shit, Lindsay. I'd sue.
Why does he need to be a crank like Don Henley?
I know he’s a musical genius but he sounds like Carol Channing on Ambien and Testosterone.
Chris Serpico YOU SOUND LIKE A REAL ASS WIPE !!!!!
Lynjane Redden I don’t think so, but I can tell you I DO wipe my ass.
Maybe you’re right.
That is because his singing voice is different from regular speaking voice. He still has the pipes- just has to save them!
Why has "The War on Drugs" appeared in my recommended videos? hmmm.
Shouldve asked about peter green
I'm pretty sure someone's 5 year old kid was in charge of two of these questions.
Lindsey is eternal
A Soulja Boy co-sign 1:07 lol.
Something is different with Lindsey here... hmm?
1. Lindsey is a big ABBA fan!
2. Lindsey likely also used coke (but not to the extent of Mick or Stevie)
Lindsey infamously used cocaine. To great degrees of excess. For years. It made him a complete madman on stage.
1:38 ahem...stevie nicks.... ahem
No LB = Fleetwood HACK
Life is like a bad episode of Matlock where you wish you were back in Mayberry
Now I'm wondering if Alf did do cocaine, maybe there's some stored in the plush I have lost in a closet.
The creator of Alf was actually a heroin addict. Ben Stiller made a movie about him called Permanent Midnight.
Wake up kids, gotta realize he wasn't rating anything anymore, just giving his comments;)
How high did the kids get Lindsey before filming this....? Too high 😂
should have asked him about Bill Hader
What a bunch of idiotic questions. Was he supposed to say cocaine is underrated?
