I feel like Go Your Own Way is more of a breakup song than it is a diss track. It's about how he loves her but knows they want different things.

Still BRUTAL to have Nicks doing the backups on the line that is very obviously specifically about her.

[–] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 50 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Their biggest album was songs about each other, their relationships going sideways.

Impressive... Lol

[–] accideath@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yea, but in return Buckingham sang the lead vocals in a song clearly about him (The Chain). It’s great to watch the live recordings because you can see how nicks and buckingham are spitting the words at each other.

[–] loopedcandle@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh man, have a link to the recording you're referencing?

[–] accideath@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This would be it. Great performance. And Nicks and Buckingham are definitely letting sth out there.

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Knew the exact live performance when you described it.

Not much of a coincidence but Edge of Seveteen is literally on the radio right now. Sad they spam this stuff as good as it is.

Watch this live version of Silver Springs; it’s like the wounds are still fresh even two decades later

I tried listening to find what you're talking about, but I cannot endure her goat-bleating voice. I honestly wonder how her band members can endure listening to that fingernails-on-chalkboard voice hours a day for decades. I'm glad I could click away so easily.

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I mean, you’re not wrong. But, some of the most artistic singers don’t have the best voices. Bob Dylan, Kurt Cobain, Biz Markie, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, etc.

No Doubt: Am I a joke to you?

[–] Seraph@kbin.social 39 points 1 year ago

Shhh... Don't Speak

[–] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To be fair, No Doubt could be kids of FMac

[–] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 9 points 1 year ago

Now I want them to do The Chain but with trumpets

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

I mean, after the year 2000, yes No Doubt entirely became a joke.

Which is extra sad considering how decent their first 3 albums were and how cool Gwen used to be vs the sellout she is now (a term I almost never use for anyone).

You start with a bunch of drama. Mix in some personal animosity and a dash of dysfunction. Then you add a little cocaine. Ok, a little more. Actually let's go with a lot more. Mix it all up real good. Then you take the mixture, give it a dramatic name, like "Rumours", pop it into a record press, and voila! Out pops a crisp, best selling album.

[–] WamGams@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

Quote possibly the greatest album ever made.

[–] nxdefiant@startrek.website 21 points 1 year ago

oh shit new template

[–] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

any time I ask fleetwood mac fans what makes them special, it's always that they were really awful to one another, and the person telling me about it always gets really excited like I should be impressed that they were really awful to one another.

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To be fair, if there's one thing I've learned it's that shitty people make great music. No idea why that is, but it's weirdly consistent.

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 5 points 1 year ago

Maybe thats why my guitar skills never developed passed the first 5 frets: basic empathy.

[–] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fleetwood Mac: music for, by, and with cheaters.

New red flag dropped?

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lamb of God also did this with "Redneck"

[–] Lemonparty@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Not according to Randy, they didn't.

Generally, it's not about any one person in particular. It's about people in the music industry whose egos become needlessly inflated and they show it. It's a general song. It's applicable to anyone in their life.

I don't have the actual source but I read it on Wikipedia way back

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Redneck_(song)&oldid=602726840

Don't know why it got deleted.

"It's pretty clear to everyone who the song [Redneck] is about. Just watch the Killadelphia DVD, and you'll see what was going on. I love Randy like a brother, but that doesn't mean we don't have our problems. So if I have to be the one to say something, then I will. And if that means that someone's gonna get punched in the mouth, then someone's gonna get punched in the mouth... And if that means someone's going to have to sing a lyric about themselves, then they're gonna sing a lyric about themselves."

The animosity in Tusk makes me cringe.

I understood this reference.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

A meme about Fleetwood Mac, and I’m a boomer for adding Drake images?

[–] Chaosl3gion@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The joke is, the meme template you suggested is older than the one in the post.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Chaosl3gion@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Sorry you didn't see that

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately, yes. Drake is sooo last week, and Not Like Us.
