Three front lead singers, Stevie, Lindsey and Christine......their voices meld and harmonize to perfection.

Never forget Christine McVie, the ORIGINAL lady in F-Mac, she writes and sings and plays. The Real Deal.

Just play all the songs from Rumours, it's their masterpiece.

Lindsay Buckingham is one of the most underrated guitarists in Rock history. This is one of the most perfect albums you will ever listen to, Very much a group effort, not just Buckingham and Nicks, it was all about how all of the bands inter-relationships were disintegrating. Out of the ashes came one of the greatest albums in music history!

The entire album is perfection

One of the best albums ever recorded, John and Christine Mcvie were divorcing and Lindsay and Stevie were ending their relationship. Terrible times that led to musical magic. You gotta try"second hand news" one of my favorites ☮️

Christine McVie in the background singing "Still hear you sayin'".

Rumours is still one of the top ten best selling albums of all time. they are a five member band. Stevie and Lindsey were breaking up as this album was being recorded. Dreams. Go Your Own Way. Gold Dust Woman are three more from the album you will love..

It's THREE Vocalists harmonizing (Not 2): Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks AND Miss Perfect herself...Christine McVie!

Excellent reaction! This song never fails to give me goosebumps. The background vocals are Christine McVie on the keyboards. For other Fleetwood Mac songs you should do a reaction to Tusk (their original music video). It's definitely unique and fun. Go Your Own Way is excellent too.

There are three vocalists in this band, Stevie and Lindsey are doing the "call & response" lyrics, and then Christine McVie is singing the background vocal you were describing as a "cry". Christine is the keyboardist, and a good vocalist in her own right. You can check her out on "You Make Loving Fun", or "Say You Love Me" they are very good.

Lindsey is the only lead guitar player, (John plays bass) his technique is such that he can make more than one melody line as he plays...please see Big Love from The Dance Lindsey Buckingham is a very underrated guitarist. When he’s not in the band, it takes two guitarists to replace him.

The Couples in the band were going through breakups but vowed always to put the band(The Chain) first.

Buckingham couldn't get this song right and was really struggling - Stevie went away for half an hour and came back with Lyric changes that helped make it work. Christie, Mick & John all did a lot of improv and John's epic Bass solo brought everything together. It's the only song where all 5 get a songwriting credit on the same track which is why you can hear a lot of the improv and different things going on because it's five minds at work rather than one or two. That whole album is magnificent but this is the sone that truly brought the album together thematically because even though their relationships were totally dysfunctional at the time when you got the five of them in a room together they could still bring it together in a way few bands ever do.

EVERY SONG FROM RUMORS IS PERFECTION!!! BEST ALBUM EVER!!! THANK GOD I GREW UP IN THE 1970! BEST MUSIC EVER!!!

Only 2 dominant guitars Lyndsey Buckingham and John Mcvie on bass guitar. You also need to appreciate that Lyndsey Buckingham doesn't use a pick for guitar he finger picks

3 vocals... You missed out Christine McVie (who I’m sure does ‘the cry’)

Mick Fleetwood, John & Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks are all the members of Fleetwood Mac...All four were flourishing on this song, and on this entire monumental album! Absolutely my favorite group EVER! I am looking forward to seeing you learn more about them, as well as reviewing their music. Thanks so much, Dereck!

Stevie Nicks doesn't know this but she was my vocal coach from the time I was twelve or thirteen years old until I was about 16. Thanks to her I ended up in show choirs and a lead part in an adult musical when I was 16 years old.. this song is absolutely amazing and it's my favorite on the entire album even though dreams was the most popular. I'm a musician as well and the vocals blending with the musicianship is absolutely incredible and surpasses many of the other songs on the album that were more popular than this. Gold Dust Woman is another really good song but it's got a slower beat than this but beautiful nonetheless with Stevie singing.

The cry is Christine McVie ghostly singing, "...Hear you saying..." That's the cherry on top of the whole song. The verses are sung by all 3 singers...the chorus is by Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, w/ Christine's ghost voice in the background.

"back up singer" LOL Fleetwood mac is ALL them.

Especially amazing when you realize this was a time when music was still real. No click beats, auto tune or pitch shifting. Just talent

This is the song that held these guys together. Pretty much everyone in the band was upset with each other. The chain is the relationship of the band together. I’m glad they never broke that chain. Rumours is a great album. The song Dreams is Stevie Nicks song directed to Lindsay Buckingham. Go Your Own Way is Buckingham’s song directed at Stevie Nicks

Fleetwood Mac started in 1967 in England as a blues band featuring the only constant members John McVie on bass (Mac) and Mick Fleetwood (Fleetwood) on drums. They were originally led by singer guitarists Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer. Both would have breakdowns and quit. They went through a lot of guitarists. Christine Perfect played piano on a few songs in the early years before getting married and joining the band as Christine McVie. She started writing and singing her own songs. In 1974 while looking at Sound City Studios, their future producer sold Mick Fleetwood on the studio by playing him the Buckingham Nicks debut album they recently recorded there. Then their most recent guitarist quit. Mick was told about Lyndsey. The band did not want Stevie, but he wouldn't join without her. Her first song with the band, Rhiannon, hit # in 1975, so they kept her. By the time they started recording Rumours in 1977, Lyndsey and Stevie broke up, John and Christine got divorced and Mick was separated from his wife, and had an affair with Stevie. Christine, Lyndsey and Stevie all sing lead on multiple songs. So they have three front people and the band is named after the other two. The entire album is perfection, and many songs deal with those break ups. My favorite, Gold Dust Woman was about her cocaine addiction which she didn't kick for another decade. Their drug dealer got thanked in the liner notes. Rumours is one of the biggest selling albums of all time at over 40 million copies worldwide, slightly more than the entire population of California. Lyndsey was so good of a guitarist, his time in the band was the only time they went with only one guitarist (they had three for a bit) for longer than one album. He was replaced by two again.

Keyboardist Christine McVie also sings backup on this track. Nicks, Buckingham and McVie all wrote songs that charted.

Rumors album is amazing!

This whole album is amazing! 1977 was a great year. And yes I’m Old enough to remember when this came out. 😁❤️❤️

3 singer/songwriters in this band it’s stacked.

It's Christine McVee harmonizing with them, Dereck. another great choice man! Kudos.

I seriously don’t understand why Lindsey isn’t talked about more as an all time great guitarist more widely. He’s ELITE in rock history

There are three lead singers. You gotta listen to the entire Rumours album. They all get to shine

The thing with Fleetwood is that it doesn't matter if you are 60 or 18. a lot of their music is timeless. Even the song ''everywhere'' could be made today by Paramore or The 1975 (Just as an example) Just really great songwriting and great hooks

Knowing the song so well, it was a pleasure watching your reaction as the song as it grew and climbed to its climax. You hit the nail on the head as it's their story - their relationship falling apart but the chain of the group keeping them together. There was another couple in the group who also split. The band's working relationship was always tumultuous. I suppose great art comes from passion. Woah, I didn't mean to get so deep lol

This is Lyndsey's and Stevie's song about their break up.

Tell Me Lies is a really good song by these guys. Christine McVie does the lead vocal.

This is the only song to have been written by all five members of the band. It started as a jam between the 4 musicians - Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie, John McVie & Mick Fleetwood. Stevie Nicks contributed the lyrics. When this song is played live, John's bass literally makes the building vibrate. Every Fleetwood Mac concert opens with "The Chain".

you nailed it - SONGFACTS Pieces of different studio takes were spliced together to form the track. The bass line that comes in at about the 3-minute mark through the song was written independently by John McVie, who was originally planning to use it in a different song.

Rumours is often called Fleetwood Mac's first "Greatest Hits" album because the whole album is filled with great songs. This masterpiece album was born out of some crazy soap-opera shit going on behind-the-scenes with the band's personal lives. Over the years, there have been a LOT of critical examinations of this album, both musically and the private band-dynamic stuff -- You should look into it, it's fascinating!

Amazing. Your music taste is so on point 🔥👌

Can you PLEASE react to Suzi Quatro (can the can, 48 crash, the fast stuff). She was the FIRST female bass player to also sing lead vocals. She is amazing and is still performing today to packed out audiences. She was and still is HUGE everywhere except the US. She was 16 in the "70's when she had her first hit. Such a naturally beautiful and amazingly talented woman, who is only NOW (since her sundance bio film) getting the recognition she deserves. She was a trail blazer and showed young girls everywhere that we did not have to fit the conventional mould of the day. We loved her here in Australia.

This is what they called rock.

The band needed a title track for the album after many suggestions that didn't pan out. The Welsh Witch herself saved the day by suggesting The Chain. And musical history was made. Thanks Stevie.

I love watching these, when the younger generations find music that actually touches your soul. Awesome

This album (Rumours) is flawless from beginning to end. The two couples within the band were in the midst breaking apart personally (Christine & John McVie and Stevie & Lindsay), yet kept "the chain" together to create this masterpiece. At times, the band members were only "speaking" to each other through the lyrics of their songs. The band has included 18 different musicians from 1967-present, though this is considered their most famous. These particular 5 members only created 5 studio albums together and a couple "live" ones. From this version of the band, consider reactions to: Landslide, Say You Love Me, I'm so Afraid (live versions blow the studio track out of the water), Second Hand News, You Make Loving Fun, Gold Dust Woman, Dreams, Go Your Own Way, Tusk, Sisters of the Moon, Big Love (live versions feature Lindsay solo - must see!), LittleLies, and the other essential viewing is definitely the 1997 Live version of Silver Springs, a "B-side" from the Rumours album that was resurrected for the Dance album and tour. This one you must watch-- the stares between Lindsay and Steve as they sing to each other are just chilling. There's so much pain and anguish being said but not said through the performance. Fleetwood Mac and Madonna are two of my favorites, so I'm loving your reactions and so glad to find your channel.

There is a reason this album just propelled them to super band status. Amazing production and the Buckingham / Nicks combo is off the charts.

Great reaction to a classic track, thank you!😁

Best reaction ive seen of this EXCELLENT song. True appreciation for the music.

I just love how you break down songs, especially the older real music songs. Just subbed good job👏👏🎶🎵

This is one of my favourite tracks, the bass and guitaring was used as the theme tune to the BBC's F1 ( motor racing) programme in years gone by with Murray Walker, so if you heard this on the T.V you would know instantly that it's Formula 1.

I agree with tango lol. RUMOURS is 100 magic🎩👌💙

They have three lead vocalists: Buckingham, Nicks & Christine Mcvie. They can be heard in different combinations throughout most of their tracks.

When someone says their relationship status is "complicated," but they're not smiling when they say it, this is what they're talking about. It perfectly captures that intersection of love and pain in a broken relationship. I think including it in "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" was a perfect choice. Because that's what's going on at the heart of that movie -- the characters struggling with broken relationships. It really brought home those feelings.

Before F. Mac, Lindsey and Stevie did a duo album "Buckingham Nicks", 1973. That album got them the Mac gig in the 1st place. It's a good album, a little green but interesting. Best cuts are "Crying in the Night", "Long Distance Winner", "Don't Let Me Down Again".

7:03 onwards BBC used this form as their music for their formula 1 coverage in the 80’s classic !!

LOVE your reactions hun. Keep it up. Stevie's emotions ALWAYS come through in their songs.

That wonderful base is being played by Mr. John McVie, one of the most underrated base players in rock history.

aye with you mentioning 'overdrive' quite fitting! That mid-section, starting with the first bass note and the next 30 seconds or so, was the theme for BBC's Formula 1 coverage. Absolutely iconic for pretty much anyone who watched the sports shows around that time.

Great song, great band. Thanks for doing that takes me way back. Love.

You got the point ... Excellent your analysis, your criticism! I loved it... !!!

Go Your Own Way would be a good third piece to review. The lead guitar is a Dobro Steel Guitar. Mick Fleetwood would often be chosen as "best drummer" during the late 1970s in pols. The distinctive base by John McVie us one if the most recognizable in rock music.

Song is flawless!! The whole album Rumours is a Gem!! My favorite is “Go Your Own Way” but to be honest that song particularly seems to get blocked many times in reactions so I don’t usually request it. They have so many but a few are Dreams, Landslide, Little Lies, Gypsy Tea. Or even (Stevie Nicks) “The edge of seventeen”. Great reactions man! 👍😎

Dereck: Fleetwood Mac is unique and underrated band. There are a massive amount of followers that love their music, but it’s usually a song or two that they heard on the radio. Off the grid and rarely mentioned song that sounds like it sums up the relationship of Stevie and Lindsay is “No Questions Asked”. There is almost no rhyme through out the song, but it is a story. I think you will enjoy the guitar work from Lindsey.

I love how passionate you are about music! It's so wonderful to watch someone from a younger generation enjoying music I grew up with, and in such an educated and open-minded way too. New subscriber here. Keep doing your thing--you're awesome!

I'm sure you know by now they're a gang of four. You hear all their musicianship and all their voices. Your passion is awesome and I love it when you call us "guys". ❤

I like your dedication to discovering our music, well, what we listened to.

One of my fav bands and songs. True classic, love them. Live your videos.

What I love about this band is the fact that they make you sit down a listen to the details in the song you’re listening to and you feel almost haunted or extremely interested, it’s just crazy. But Lindsay and Stevie where discovered by mick (drummer). So the band consists of Christine (lead vocalist pianist, John (bass) mick (drums), Stevie (lead vocalist, tambourine I guess but she is known for dancing and being an awesome performer) and Lindsay (lead vocalist, guitarist)

I met Christine McVie many times when she was Christine Perfect playing in Chicken Shack before she joined the Mac. They were a superb blues band and I was in another(not quite so good!) band in the same area of the UK. We would often play the same venues. She is a lovely, lovely person.

I totally understand your reaction, this has always been my favourite Fleetwood Mac song...I was 11 when this came out and loved it then, my older sister had the rumours album and it was played all the time 😄

Fleetwood Mac had 3 singers that sounded incredible together. You had Stevie Nicks singing soprano, Christie McVeigh had the alto, and Lindsay took care of the tenor/baritone. Absolutely beautiful.

It's like you're discovering music for the first time. It's so quaint.

Yes Rumors is their most iconic and famous album! I consider it the breakup album! Christine and John were getting divorced, Stevie and Lindsey were breaking up, Mick was having a divorce outside of the band! There was fights, affairs, and drugs! These songs are their own way of saying goodbye to their significant but not breaking the chain (not breaking up the band)! Stevie had Dreams, Lindsey had Go Your Own Way and Second Hand News, Christine had Oh Daddy and Songbird, but most importantly the band had The Chain!

I love watching people react for the first time, to songs I grew up with 😂

silver spring fleetwood mac 1997 the dance!!!!

I love watching you kids discover the great music that I grew up with on the radio.

Ahhhh I live for the background! Batman the Animated Series, Blondie, and Abba! Also. Happy you're reacting to my all favorite band! So glad I saw them in concert!

There are three singers. The scream in the background is Christine McVie.

The love and hate between all of them created the passion. And it lead to them just pouring out feelings and emotion. That feeling and emotion let to incredibly deep lyrics and instrumentals.

Perfection!

That cry is The amazing Christine McVie singing backing vocals and playing the keyboards. Christine is the third lead singer in the band. She has written and sung many hits for them too. John McVie is the bass player.

New sub, you're fantastic! I love watching people enjoy Fleetwood Mac, they are brilliant!

It was an absolute experience to see these guys live

I first became aware of this song, and therefore Fleetwood Mac because of BBC Sport using the major guitar section as a theme/introduction song for Formula 1 motor racing. Brilliant song. Brilliant band.

This song is one of those that immediately hits you!! I was completely sold after only one hearing! I love your expression "get the flip out of here" man 😂

I lose myself in this song every time! Its so surreal, Jezz. All the music instruments are on point. My reaction back day was same like yours. Goosebumps!!!!!

This song (and album...) is as fresh today as it was 44 years ago...💖 (... and, it's a blend of three voices in this song...)

This song follows the stages in an argument between two people who are crazy about one another. Or who are completely fed up with each other.

Seeing them in concert and watching the way Stevie and Lindsey play off of each other is heartbreaking and emotional. I'm just a big mush ball when it comes to them.

I explain this song as having an Act one, Act two, and Act three. Its so good.

At high school in south Beach, beach hi, we had rock ensemble, i did back up and tambourine, on this song..cowbell on goldust woman. We had Fleetwood Mac our year. Loved the bass at the bridge. Amazing experience. We watched concert footage of them. The cry is Christine McVeigh. I did most her song. I know do many Fleetwood Mac now...so fun for the ears this song. If you like bass, do Oh Daddy. Christine does that one. I think this song is during their break up.

Love the wide variety of kinds of music in this song and how deep it goes!

Lindsey is playing multiple guitar lines at the same time as well as singing. He plays two to three separate guitar lines at once. While also singing. He's extraordinary. I've seen bands do covers of this with four different people doing just his parts.

This line up of Fleetwood Mac had 3 singer / songwriters. Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham (also Guitars) and Christine McVie (also Keyboards) with Mick Fleetwood (Drums) and John McVie (Bass). All 5 members have writing credits on this track. Without knowing their history, your analysis is scarily accurate. Buckingham Nicks were a duo prior to joining Fleetwood Mac. The McVie's were divorcing, Buckingham and Nicks were separating and Mick Fleetwood's marriage was also breaking down. Fleetwood Mac's history is as messy as it is turbulent. It's an ongoing soap opera that continues to play out as I write this comment.

There are 3 lead singer song writers in Fleetwood Mac. Lead guitar sings lead on his songs, keyboards sings lead on her songs, and there is a 3rd singer song writer who sings lead on her songs.

OMG please react to Dreams, Seven Wonders or Everywhere

the started out as two songs or part tunes that they fitted together very successfully

TUSK by Fleetwood Mac another masterpiece. Recorded with the USC marching band at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, CA. Highly recommend it.

Every member of that band is a genius musician and songwriter, and they were all emotionally entangled. It's a miracle they channeled it into Rumors. One of the greatest bands of all time.

I’m sure somebody already said this, but that cry in the background is Christine McVie, the keyboardist and third singer in the band. She’s actually responsible for some of their biggest hits.

love love your reactions
