They might not have been so twattish all the time if they hadn't been helping the economy of Columbia so much.....

They were basically writing songs to slag each other off and making each other sing them weren't they?
After seeing programmes discussing this Brit Awards years later on where it went wrong, I think the general consensus was that Sam Fox got thrown under the bus a little bit (probably as she was a blonde, big boobed page 3 girl, easy to blame her and treat her like a blonde bimbo, although she had pink hair for the occasion). Mick was a complete nightmare and was as stiff as a board. At least Sam had a bit of personality about her and tried to make light of a bad situation

I remember watching it. The cringe was off the scale. It was back when the Brits were more of an event and worth watching.
Not disilimilar to Abba who had their wives singing break up songs whilst divorcing them.
I remember watching a programme and Mick Fleetwood and John McVie admitted to be complete twats spunking their money on individual limos and insisting on oxygen canisters to breathe clean air (or something like that). Even they were killing themselves laughing at what idiots they’d been
exactly - the winner takes it all is such a cruel song when you consider the circumstances and timing of it! i can’t believe they had the two women sing it.
Yes, and it gave us one of the best albums ever, Rumours!
When they were recording it, two couples within the band had just broken up.
The ex couples, Christine & John McVie, and Stevie Nicks & Lindsey Buckingham weren’t speaking to each other outside of their work on the music, and Mick Fleetwood had just found out his wife had been having an affair with his best friend.
Yeah that was a weird dynamic.
It was mainly Agnetha who sang The Winner Takes It All, released not long after her divorce from Bjorn
Even the video is sad where in some parts she looks unhappy while the other 3 are laughing together
They were just as badly behaved as The Stones, it was just covered up and they were seen as the more clean cut of the two. The Stones revealed in their reputation as the bad boy alternative. They were all so scarily young when you look at it now. All in their early 20’s when they became globally famous. Mad really.
oh really? i assumed it was both - that makes it even crueller
it’s also the fact that the lyrics imply that she’s still pining for him a bit (“tell me does she kiss the way i used to kiss you” etc) which seemed especially mean to me.
The video with hindsight was awful, she looked like an exclusion from the clique. Then again the Swedes are known to be progressive, maybe the mindset was a broken marriage wasn't that much of a deal.oh really? i assumed it was both - that makes it even crueller

My god. Storm and Roman Keating love themselves a tad

Paul McCartney lived with Jane Asher's parents 1964–66, at the height of "Beatlemania". In 1968 McCartney started a secret affair with American star Francie Schwartz. Asher found out when she returned from an acting job early and found the Beatle in bed with Schwartz.
Anyone read the book mentioned in this? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/a...her-changed-paul-mccartney-inspired-greatest/

Yeah, that was what I meant! It’s just that they were painted as the nice boys your mum could approve of, instead of the Stones and their wild reputation.
Shazza has never seen a picture of herself that she didn't love:My god. Storm and Roman Keating love themselves a tad
I think everyone in FM except possibly Christine McVie was guilty of being a bit of a twit! I’m fascinated by the groups dynamics and everything that happened in the 70s and 80s. There’s a live recording of The Chain on YouTube, made when Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham were at the peaks of their drug/alcohol addictions and their relationship was in the midst of breaking down and it is INTENSE. You almost feel like you shouldn’t be watching as it’s so personal and intimate. Absolutely gutted I never got to see them live.

Yes pretty much! Some incredible songs though
Glad someone mentioned that performance, I find it absolutely fascinating, it's A LOT to watch!
