They might not have been so twattish all the time if they hadn't been helping the economy of Columbia so much.....
They might not have been so twattish all the time if they hadn't been helping the economy of Columbia so much.....I dont think any of Fleetwood Mac were completely non-twatish. As a couple of them have admitted, iirc.
They were basically writing songs to slag each other off and making each other sing them weren't they?I dont think any of Fleetwood Mac were completely non-twatish. As a couple of them have admitted, iirc.
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 situationPicture the scene. It’s 1989 and I’m a huge rock fan. This is England and rock shows are tucked away at 2am and MTV wasn’t here yet. This was a golden opportunity to see one of my heroes (not Sam Fox clearly) on prime time TV and I was bloody excited.
I settled down in front of the TV and I remember it like it was yesterday. It genuinely was like watching a car crash in real life. I was watching with my Dad. I think he said something like ‘well this one won’t be forgotten’. He wasn’t wrong. Couldn’t tell you who won a single thing that night but Christ that was toe cringingly bad.
Didnt Mick Fleetwood turn out to be a bit of a twat as well? Or did I dream that tea?
Not disilimilar to Abba who had their wives singing break up songs whilst divorcing them.They were basically writing songs to slag each other off and making each other sing them weren't they?
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 beenThey might not have been so twattish all the time if they hadn't been helping the economy of Columbia so much.....
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.Not disilimilar to Abba who had their wives singing break up songs whilst divorcing them.
Yes, and it gave us one of the best albums ever, Rumours!They were basically writing songs to slag each other off and making each other sing them weren't they?
Yeah that was a weird dynamic.Not disilimilar to Abba who had their wives singing break up songs whilst divorcing them.
It was mainly Agnetha who sang The Winner Takes It All, released not long after her divorce from Bjornexactly - 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.
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.I think the Beatles behaved very much like young men with ready access to drugs, adulation and no consequences. I don’t mean that to excuse them at all. I think they benefited in lasting reputation from being seen through the historical lens of Nice Boys to the Stones Bad.
But I do think they made some cracking music. Not all of it, but there are some fantastic tunes in there.
oh really? i assumed it was both - that makes it even cruellerIt 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
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
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.
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.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.
Shazza has never seen a picture of herself that she didn't love:My god. Storm and Roman Keating love themselves a tadas if you’d have pics like this in your house
I think everyone in FM except possibly Christine McVie was guilty of being a bit of a twat! 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.I dont think any of Fleetwood Mac were completely non-twatish. As a couple of them have admitted, iirc.
Yes pretty much! Some incredible songs thoughThey were basically writing songs to slag each other off and making each other sing them weren't they?
What in the Kim Jong Un is going on there?
Glad someone mentioned that performance, I find it absolutely fascinating, it's A LOT to watch!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.
