He referred to them as "people I've known as well as anyone I've ever known, except my family growing up, people I've been through more with."
And then the real gut punch: " It's hard not to see them as my best friends, in many ways, still. And yet, there's a distance that can be hard because maybe it's me not being proactive about it. I know Mick is not that way."
Here's my question though: is it possible this is not a new interview? It seems kind of weird to me to be talking about his former bandmates this way and not addressing the fact that they aren't returning his calls anymore and fired him from the band? I know the question was specifically about him leaving back in the 80s, but Lindsey brings it to "today" when he says he "still" sees them as his best friends and contemplates calling them more. It doesn't jibe with his recent tweets.

You know, you may be right about all the interview segments being old. This is what BombaySaffires said in the older Redbeard thread below
"kinda sounds like it'll be a compilation of clips from previous interviews....they're calling it "The Best of Lindsey Buckingham"
