**Stevie Interview On Close Up New Zealand**
 

I was sooo excited to see that stevie was interviewed for The New Zealand Current Events Show 'Close Up'

She Talked Abotu The Typical Fleetwood Mac Stuff, like her relationship with Lindsey, but she also said some things about Christine leaving the band, But the big news is she finally talked about what happened on The Tour in New Zealand that everyone was talkign about a while ago about the fight she had onstage with Lindsey!!

And Yes, She will be touring here in March with John Farnham!!!! (Im Singing I Cant Wait right now!! - This will be my first time seeing her live!!)

I recorded the interview, and when i have a moment, i will type up what was said, as i know alot of you will want to know what actually happened on the NZ tour that made them storm off stage :thumbsup:

excellent, she has got a fair bit of coverage in other states from what it seems but there is bugger all in Sydney, although she was on ebst dressed list comp before!

Excellent indeed..it's nice to see NZ taking such a big interest in her upcoming concerts...they obviously haven't had any decent artists visiting there in a while and are making the most of it!

Cant wait to hear the details..cmon! haha
Chris

If you do not have time to transcribe, how about a recap of the fight part?

Can you upload the interview for download :D

Oh, now this should be interesting. :nod:

it'll be interesting to hear her POV on the onstage ruckus. thanks in advance for sharing :wavey:

More, more, more please. :thumbsup:

What ruckus? This sounds interesting??????

Ok Heres It Is:

Stevie Nicks:

I have been to the Kentucky Durby 3 times, and you really get a touch of what it would really be like to own one of those horses, its so exciting, the culture, and the people there are so excited about it - its like a subculture, you know, your in the world of horse racing and nothing else exisits.

**play a clip of the little lies video**

Stevie Nicks:

I just finished 135 Fleetwood Mac Shows. We Do get along, but we all still totally fight. The dynamic hasnt really changed, you know, but Lindsey and I adore each other - but we just have that love/hate thing, you know, where I wanna do this song, and i dont, so, it keeps it very real and very passionate to this day, so theres nothing boring or overdone about Fleetwood Mac, you know?

**Plays Save Me Video**

Stevie Nicks:

Of course we miss Christine terribly, and wish that she would change her mind, but she wont, so, she does just not want to do this any more, and thats what happens to some people, they just don't want to travel any more, and thats just her deal. I think she will go on recording forever, but she doesnt want to back it up, and you have to.

Continues:

If you had to do it over, you would want to do less of everything, you know, in our 50's, looking back on it, we all wish that we had not been, you know on drugs some of the time, and the coke, you know, had been an overriding factor for all of us. We all knew it and we all hated it, It was destoying us. So there was a pretty conciensous (I cant spell :D ) effort at a point on the road, where we all knew we had to stop.

Stevie Nicks:

We we all think back to our trip to New Zealand, you know, its an amazing story, it was the fight of all fights, and i think there was thirty thousand people there, that had come form buses all around New Zealand to see us. We were on the last song, of the set, and Lindsey threw his Les Paul guitar at me. I ducked so it didnt hit me, but i was so mad that he had endangered my life. He then stormed off the stage - and we all stormed off the stage after him. The bodyguards and everyone had to physically seperate all of us, and we didn't do an encore that night, and that is the first and only time we have not done an encore. He was mad at me probably because he... it was okay for me to be the performer that i was when we were a couple, but when we broke up, he hated that fact that i was such a lead singer. And Im sure when we left New Zealand, we were not even on the same plane.

(My Mother & Aunty went to this concert and she remembers them storming off stage, but she said it was more like 4 or 5 songs into it, not the last song :shrug: )

**Plays Gypsy Video**

Stevie Nicks:

Its still the same fire, oh yeah, because Lindsey and i, you know, we have that everlasting love affair, that though, hes married and has 3 children, can you beleive that, he has 3 children - and he is a total dad, you know, he has been taking little girls to ballet lessons - but we still have that dynamic, that just is, that just exists, and will still be existing when we are 90 years old.

Stevie Continues:

There was hard times, and tears and broken hearts. But in the long run, when you look back on it, you are like "Hey wasn't it great?"


**Ends**

Host of Close Up

There we are, Stevie Nicks, but kind of tragic, the way it all ended for Fleetwood Mac, they were so talented too. But Stevie Nicks Will Be touring here in March with Aussie Rocker John Farnham

(I Dont Know what she meant by kind of tragic for fleetwood mac - i dont think she knew what she was talking about :) )

All this time I thought you were referring to a fight between them on the SYW tour, not a long time ago...hmm misunderstood!

Chris

ROTFLMAO! :laugh: Ya gotta love her!

Thanks so much for transcribing all of this!

I know and ditto the thanks!!

Moreover, I guess LB is still married :shrug:

thanks for taking the time to transcribe - an interesting read indeed.

How awkward is that entire statement? :laugh:

Where do you people get that he was divorced in the first place?

:laugh:

I know! "We are madly in love....but...he's married with 3 kids....but we are still in love...." :shrug:

I especially loved this:

"We have that everlasting love affair, that though, hes married and has 3 children, can you beleive that, he has 3 children."

Yes, Stevie, I believe it. :laugh:

She obviously has issues. She's in total denial that he's a grown up now...with a family. She can' deal.

I never said that. It was asked in a thread awhile back. My comment in this thread was directed at that question and that question only.

That was the rumour going 'round these parts for a while. Some implied that they sold their house cuz they were splitting.

That makes total sense to me. It is possible to be in love with someone and not be with them for a myriad of reasons. I think everyone has had this experience in some form much less having to work with them everyday or as often as they do.

I think she refers to the fact that he was single for so long and they were so young and carefree together and he was a bit of a womanizer rock god, etc. Now, he has gray hair and three kids and a suburban life when not on the road.

How shocking. :rolleyes: :laugh:

What hogwash. He puts a house up for sale and that signals divorce? :laugh:

RE: the interview
thanks for typing it out, though i was hoping for more grisly details. no kicking? no wine? eh...

RE: the love affair
i'm going with jason on this one. he was so non-husband/dad for so long it must be odd to see him with kids. and the never ending love thing? i experience this, other people must too? plus, she's always so dramatic i cut any statement she makes in half, intensity-wise.

Who ever said she wasn't awkward? She's doing all these interviews that we should be happy about and her supposed fans are ripping her every word apart :shocked:. Give her a break honey (although it is kind of fun to read your responses;)).

What was that Sister Agnes of Gloom?

"endangered my life".... she's hilarious.
Thanks for transcribing this for us. It was a great read. I wonder if Stevie realizes just how much she says, "You know?" I know that I do it ALL the time, but most people in her case try to sound all uberly smart and have really great speaking skills. I like how she just stays herself and uses her everyday words.

I read it as "engendered my life" at first.

I always tease him that he's president of the Piss & Moan About Everything club. :laugh:

But that's ok... every message board needs one (or five) folks to take the piss.

Your FUNNIEST misread moment, was when you thought my "take fits" comment read "fake tits." :laugh:

:laugh:

I can't help it; sometimes I read things so quickly that it's only when I'm replying that I realize I read the the post incorrectly.

So, the Les Paul throwing incident was actually the kicking incident, of were there more incidents, or are we just not getting the entire gist? ;)

As for her comments on her relationship with Lindsey: yadda, yadda, yadda. I think she has her lines rehearsed as much as Lindsey has his speeches.

Thanks for posting that!! :)

Jazmen, where is the clip from in your sig? LOVE her hair.

:xoxo:

Yes, Stevie with the same ole' spill about her and Lindsey's "relationship".

Hey guys, you are all welcome - it did take me a long time :nod: but i thought you guys would be really interested to finally figure out what actually happend on stage during the tusk tour - there are posts where people stated that Lindsey was mocking the way she dressed, Lindsey kicking her, and there was even a post where someone said that Christine slapped Lindsey after that performance, so it was good to finally hear from Stevie what actually happend :cool:

I also found it quite amusing how she kept saying "You Know" - and trust me, she said it more times that what I wrote down, i just thought it was pointless typing it out.

Ohh yeah, and it was also funny how Stevie said that the bodyguards and everyone had to hold the band members back from each other - could you imagine that??? :eek:

It's true; it comes right from Christine's mouth in the 1997 Rolling Stone cover story.Is this the first time we have heard about Mr. Buckingham throwing a guitar at her? This is what she said back then.

Lol
 

I think Stevie's story is like those stories we told as kids where one person tells up to a point, then the next person adds stuff to it and so on and so on. :laugh: Christine is all "He kicked at her and I slapped him...take it, Stevie." and Stevie is all "Then, he threw his guitar at me and endangered my life! Take it, Mick."

:lol:

I keed. Thanks for typing that up for us! :thumbsup:
