What Quote Identifies the Band to Other Big Fans?

[David]

Can you think of one quote or phrase that the rest of the world doesn’t understand the significance of but that a big fan would immediately identify? I’m looking for quotes that are NOT in songs.

“How are the tenors, Tony?”

“This is for you, Daddy.”

“The process is more like painting.”

[jmn3]

“Isn’t that WEIRD?”

“Well, you wouldn’t say that to Bob Dylan!”

[jbrownsjr]

It's an old English pub song!

[WalkAThinLine.]

"We don't use that word [fired] because I think it's ugly"

[DownOnRodeo]

I’m looking for quotes that are NOT in songs.

“How are the tenors, Tony?”

I think that's a good one, although it does appear in the recorded track just not as an official lyric. Meanwhile I always thought it was "Johnny", so clearly I'm just a "mediocre fan"!
In the same way, spoken words that appear in demos and live recordings are probably a good source of 'big fan' quotes. Like "I don't wanna be a cleaning lady" or "If my mummy could see me now."

You could probably take all of the dialogue from The Dance and place it here.

"I thought that John McVie had all the vocals! Juh juh juh juh!"

[aleuzzi]

“We had a pact.”

“She burned her bridges.”

“I’m a Gemini. I’m two people.”

“Sloane Ranger.”

[aleuzzi]

It's an old English pub song!

“I’ve got the key to the door...”

Best video footage ever.

[Macfan4life]

You F**k with my people and I'm gonna get REAL F**king angry!

We're going to do another song from the album Tusk. The album you guys hated.

I told her to go get a trainer

Welcome everybody

This is a story about a Welsh Witch

We're here to show you that we just refuse to go away

Thank you and a very good evening everybody

You have no idea how many stuffed animals are stuffed inside my house

We've never done this with a brass section before so this should be interesting

Care to join us sir

I thought they were saying booo and I was so bummed out

I will hand deliver it to everyone of you......sort of like girl scout cookies

I think this band sounds very much like Fleetwood Mac

Drive safe on the way home everyone

[jmn3]

Agree that any dialogue from The Dance belongs here…

“Welcome to our little soirée!”

I’d like to also add to the mix one of my favorites:
“THIS BLACK ROSE IS FOR ALL OF YOU WHO DON’T HAVE ANY ENERGY!”

[Villavic]

If my mommy could see me now....

[bombaysaffires]

You could probably take all of the dialogue from The Dance and place it here.

"I thought that John McVie had all the vocals! Juh juh juh juh!"

I thought it was him just calling out "John McVie on vocals"

[bombaysaffires]

"big machine, small machine"
"This is a song about a lady named Rhiannon"
"This is a nice quiet one of Stevie's"
"Go ask Stevie Nicks"
"I'll vote we should do it"
"You should be in the Senate or something"
"I own the masters...."
"Karen is drop-dead honest"
"I'll eat a f***load of money"
"We'll just leave out your bass parts"
"You guys have been doing that for years"
"I don't want an omelet. I want French food"
"It's like being in the army"
"If you take me you gotta take my girlfriend too"
"They're a package deal"
"Come on, Johnny"
"Our very own songbird"
"I don't understand their concept"
"Roll the tape and let's just see what happens"

[aleuzzi]

"I don't understand their concept"


Ding, ding, ding! You are almost the winner in this quote game. Switch out “concept” for “premise” and you have the most obnoxious bit of Stevie-parrots-manager-speak of the last ten years…

[aleuzzi]

“Being in Fleetwood Mac is like being in the army.”

“I sold my soul to the company store.”

“It was for everyone and no one.”

“Today, a duck walked into my kitchen.”

[SteveMacD]

It was kind of an organic... thing

[jbrownsjr]

We used to trail around watching them.

[jbrownsjr]

This reconvening.

[jbrownsjr]

We are playing. better then we ever have.

[sue]

And we were done.
Done.

[Macfan4life]

He seeks his fortune with eyes full of fun.....to conquer the world with two sticks and a drum

I was by no means a nun

My relationship will never change. I will always be the baby sister

If you cant plagiarize yourself who can you plagiarize

He put the electric skillet with the hamburger helper on the stove which meant we no longer had the hamburger helper or the electric skillet

I have to give her back, right?

I'll never forget you either

I love that song too

You broke a string, didn't you

It was just one more thing at that point

She would always say there goes the mad songwriter she has to write another song

[lovethemac1]

“You wouldn’t say that to Dylan.”

[jbrownsjr]

Wherever John was, he couldn't be.

[jbrownsjr]

There were 5 people in that room right there totally breaking up.

[jbrownsjr]

You too, Ken!!

[jbrownsjr]

Well we haven't played anything from Tusk yet so...

[jbrownsjr]

I fired myself!

[dougl]

…then,if it works out instantly, it’s a viable product.

…it’s a perky little album, I think.

[HomerMcvie]

“You wouldn’t say that to Dylan.”

She will never live that one down. Nor should she. :laugh:

[Villavic]

"No regrets. Yeah, I wish I've spent more fatherly things with my children. That's a regret".

"Oh. You cry?"

"That was about my then boyfriend, at the time, who for obvious reasons, he was a lighting direct, he was not welcome in the studio"

"We did some great music"

[jbrownsjr]

Well we only wanted the guitarist.

[Villavic]

"In fact, I thought she was one of the loveliest and most attractive girls I'd ever seen, but I somehow managed to remain nonchalant as I blithely asked Keith Olsen, "Who's that pretty girl in there?" Her name, he said, was Stevie Nicks."

"Don't you ever do this to this band again! Ever! Is that clear?"

[Macfan4life]

I never wanted to be a hot dog or box of kleenex for Halloween

[Karlie]

Just the word “cycles.” Everyone would know who it’s referring to, but he says it too much to pick a specific quote.

[jbrownsjr]

It is pretty weird.

[HomerMcvie]

It is pretty weird.

Ahhve got a frog in mah throat. *Hack hack*

[aleuzzi]

It is pretty weird.

I was talking about my demons, not yours

[bombaysaffires]

It’s hard when you break up with someone and then you have to see them the next morning in the breakfast room

[HomerMcvie]

Who said that? Goat lady?

[jbrownsjr]

You won't see me for dust!

(New, but still amazing!)

[jbrownsjr]

Green cup. (not a quote, but in the spirit)

[Macfan4life]

Green cup. (not a quote, but in the spirit)
Do you remember the late 90s early 2000 website devoted to Chris. I think it was Emerald Eyes and always focused on the green cup!

[jbrownsjr]

Yes, and the photos cracked me up.

[bombaysaffires]

Who said that? Goat lady?

many, many times.

[Villavic]

many, many times.

Yes, I also remember...
"You don't see that person the next day"

[bombaysaffires]

“To break up with somebody and see them the next morning in the hotel breakfast room … possibly with another person was about as difficult a situation as you could possibly imagine,” she said. “And for me to walk into a … to the breakfast room and see Lindsey sitting with a girl … I mean it was an instant U-turn in the first place, and uh, I mean it was — it was enough to make me absolutely ill.”
https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/stevie-nicks-shared-disrespectful-breakup-behavior-made-absolutely-ill.html/

And:

"Well, when Lindsey and I broke up during Rumours , I started going out with Don Henley. And you know, I was like the biggest Eagles fan of life. And we went out, on and off, for about two years. He was really cute, and he was elegant. ...He is sexy. He's such an interesting guy. Don HenleyHere's one thing that Don did that freaked my band out so much. We're all in Miami, Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles. They're recording at this gorgeous house they'd rented on the water. It's totally romantic. It's pink. It's like Mar-a-Lago. Anyway, he sends a limousine driver over to our hotel with a box of presents for me, and they're delivered right into the breakfast room where everyone's eating. There's a stereo, a bunch of fabulous records. There's incredible flowers and fruits, beautiful.. The limousine driver is taking all this out onto the table and I'm going, Oh, please, please, this is not going to go down well. And they want to know who it's from. And Lindsey is not happy. So I started going out with him. And this is not popular. Sure, Lindsey and I are totally broken up, I have every right in the world to go out with people, but...I spend most of my time with the band, and it's not real conducive to having a relationship. So, I went out with Don for awhile. I went out with [Eagles songwriter] J.D. Souther for awhile. We had an incredible time."

I never really understood what she meant by "breakfast room".. The hotel restaurant? The club lounge? I mean in Europe I've stayed in hotels that only served breakfast and so where you ate meals could be called a "breakfast room" but in the US......

I didn't know about JD Souther.

[HomerMcvie]

I didn't know about JD Souther.

I did. The list of "nots" is smaller than the list of "dids".
