Aussie fans watch 60 minutes this week FM interview
 

I heard this morning that on 60 minutes program this sunday there is a Fleetwood Mac interview in which they have gone to each of their homes to interview them. (Australian viewers)

Oh snap! Lets hope someone put this on youtube!

OMG!!!!!! This have to be on youtube soooon!!!!!!!! I sooo want to see it!!!

Oh, goodness. Now it makes sense why Stevie was at her home for that one interview we've already seen.

I'm so jealous. All four? John too? This is delicious.

Michele

Oh fantastic!

Im thinking you could watch it heres the http://sixtyminutes.ninemsn.com.au/ website link
its shown on Sunday night in Australia so it should be available for viewing after this time.
There was a guy (interviewer) on the radio yesterday talking about meeting them and he was saying how down to earth they all were. He went out to Stevies home and she had made sandwiches for him. He said she was so nice and wouldnt stop talking so he had to cut the interview back. He also spoke about going to Lindsays home and again, layback. He was just a regular dad as his kids came home from school and he was getting them ready for tennis lessons.
Mick also showed him around his Hawaiian home and his studio.
cant wait to see it, saw a glimps on the add and it looks really cool.

Oh man.. This is awesome news. Someone please record this! Hopefully it does end up on the 60 min website.

Stevie made him sandwiches:laugh:. I don't think she made them. I think she served them. But goodness, if they ever gave us footage of Stevie in the kitchen making sandwiches, we wouldn't need an interview to go along with it. The sandwiches would be more than enough. Michele

Yeah, I'm a bit incredulous about that too. But then again, Stevie did wander around babbling and bragging about being the only one in the band who knew how to make coffee in the Tusk Doc. :lol: Maybe she still does hold on to a few domestic skills to make herself feel normal? I just find it hard to envision her making a sandwich tho when she even uses Karen to read and respond to her emails, drags her along shopping and dining out so she can pay and open the doors, etc :laugh:.

heres the link

this is only a link to some photos



He did say on the radio programme she made sandwiches for the crew but here its seems that she 'organized' the food so dont think she actually made them.

There's also this blog from the interviewer....

I didn't think John would be rushing to do something like this :laugh: . Still, can't wait to see the story on Sunday night!

Michael Usher - Fleetwood Mac

A nice plate of sandwiches, a smooth glass of red wine and endless offers of fresh bottled water.

Sounds like a pleasant brunch, a casual weekend get together, but certainly not the hospitality I'd expected from three musicians whose sex drugs and Rock'n'Roll lifestyle in the 1970's made them legends.

I'm talking about Fleetwood Mac. Earlier this week, I returned from Los Angles and Hawaii where I caught up with Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood and Lindsey Buckingham.

Now to understand the band's history and music, you first have to get your head around these three members of the band. Their lives have been a rollercoaster. Stevie and Lindsay were lovers and broke up, and ever since have had a love-hate relationship. Stevie and Mick had a lengthy affair - that started in Australia by the way - and today call each other soul-mates. Stevie and Mick also happened to have spent most of the late 70's and 80's hooked not only on each other but drugs, especially cocaine. "Booze, cocaine, dope, booze, cocaine, dope," Mick told me when he was describing that time of his life.

These days, their lives are very different. They're clean, loving their music again and, after 34 years, liking each other enough to tour again.

In fact, for all their personal turmoil over the past few decades, they've always come together for the music. They may not have been speaking with each other at times, but what they had to say they said in song. And luckily for us, that meant great classics that made Fleetwood Mac one of the biggest-selling, most popular bands of all time.

Lindsey Buckingham was our first interview at his beautiful home in L.A. He has his own recording studio beneath his garage so we set up there for the interview. Lindsay's about to turn 60 next month but married for the first time 10 years ago and has three young children. A few of them popped their head in on the interview after getting home form school. You can tell Lindsey is loving being a dad, as much as he loves playing his music. He rightly has been hailed as the creative force behind Fleetwood Mac, especially the 'Tusk' and 'Tango in the Night' albums.

After the interview, Lindsey was good enough to pull out one of his many guitars and play us two songs, 'Never Going Back Again' and 'Big Love". He plays beautifully and, as many of his fans know, has enjoyed a successful solo career away from Fleetwood Mac. And here's some trivia – you remember that movie "National Lampoon's Vacation" with Chevy Chase? Well Lindsey wrote and performed the film's catchy theme song "Holiday Road".

Our next interview was a little way down the road in an equally nice area of L.A., at Stevie Nicks' home. And what a host she was, an open kitchen, fresh sandwiches, anything you wanted. Lucky there were supplies, because this lady loves to talk, and so do I. Our main interview ran almost one hour overtime and nothing was off limits.

Her 10-year cocaine binge, her love life with Lindsey and Mick, the music, her solo career – the lot – we talked about it all. Stevie likes to be open and candid because she hopes her life might be a lesson to some of the Hollywood starlets making a mess of their private lives at the moment. This woman has been through it all, survived, is still singing and loving life. And Stevie can't wait to tour Australia.

Next stop was the Hawaiian island of Maui that Mick Fleetwood has called home for a few years now. He has a magnificent lodge half way up a mountainside with sweeping views of the surf below. And here he can go hell for leather on the drums and there isn't a neighbour within hearing range who can complain. And Mick did just that for us. He hit the kit -belting away with all the power and emotion that helped him form this legendary band way back in the 60's.

Fleetwood Mac has reinvented itself a few times over, but Mick has always been there steering it through, finding new members and convincing the old ones to come back. And, in between gigs with Mac, he has a blues band that tours the world.

Mick like Lindsey loved and lost Stevie Nicks, and late in life also married and started again with a new family and young children.

Like Stevie, Mick was incredibly gracious with his time. We spent hours with him as he told Fleetwood Mac's turbulent tale and explained the often tortured inspiration behind the band's music. These days, Mick doesn't touch drugs but he does have a vineyard in California, so to help lubricate the interview he had a bottle of his favourite Pinot Noir within arm's reach.

It was a great experience talking with these music legends. The drummer, the guitarist and their Queen of Rock'n'Roll. They've got a story to tell and don't mind telling it. They were refreshingly honest, and generous. And without a single new song to plug, they're just enjoying being back together, touring the world, and performing the songs that made them superstars.

This is soooo exciting!!!! Can't wait to see video from the thing!!!

The "at home" nature of these interviews is really what makes them something special to look forward to.

Why can't our 60 Minutes do this? What is Morley Safer's deal!

Michele

Yeah, poor Karen has to open all the email attachments of Lindsey's kids.

Alas, Hamburger Helper and omelets was probably the extent of Stevie's cooking, but I can really see her fixing a sandwich. Lori Nicks even mentioned Stevie's sandwich making skills on the nicksfix site:

I am SO thrilled to see this! Hopefully it circulates online somehow.

Stevie looks SOOO pretty! I love her outfit(of what we can see)

John isn'r mentioned in the blog... Anyone else find that strange?

LOL!! And let's not forget Stevie was a waitress when she SUPPORTED her and Lindsey before they made it big. She'll never let us forget that!

Not really. The media doesn't care about him, especially with Chris gone, but I was excited, briefly, thinking he would be part of it. Michele

Our lady of the sandwiches...too precious. :laugh:

Ugh. Catered. Here I had hope that she actually made him a sandwich. Also that is the Palisades house if I am not mistaken. I guess she hung on to it. I love the mural by the piano.

just watched it....dissapointed
 

just watched the show and it was dissapointing, its the same old stuff always mentioned. :mad::mad:

^ Agreed. I was very disappointed with it. For as long as they were supposed to have spent chatting to Michael Usher, we basically saw tons of old concert footage interspersed with a few interview clips of them saying the same ol' same ol' :distress: . Still, good publicity I suppose.

I'd kill to see whatever else might have been taped.

I will still be happy to see it but that does suck. I was hoping there would be more...I don't know why...there rarely ever is :laugh:

It was still great to see them on TV and all, but I only wish they would stop asking her the same old questions, as we all know what the answer is before she starts lol. I would love to hear about some of the crazy stuff that happens back stage while on tour.. how entertaining & interesting would her answers be then!!!!!

Yeah, especially current day as opposed to BACK in the day!!

Well, tell me about Lindsey's kids. Were they shown? What'd they say or do? It says, "full transcript arrives Monday," so I guess we will be able to read it, if not see it.

Michele

Here is the transcript from the show http://sixtyminutes.ninemsn.com.au/a...aspx?id=861269

That's IT?! That sucked. :mad:

Thank you so much for the link!! Typical interview but I still really want to see the video...hopefully it will be up somewhere soon. I love what was said about Stevie's relationship with Mick...that was really sweet. :angel:

I do find it interesting the Stevie says she and Lindsey will never be best friends. You would think that since they have known each other since High School, they would probably be best friends, just because they have known each other for so long. But she and Mick seem to really be close.

Ha! All I know is suddenly it's getting to be a very crowded room for the 90 year olds... I mean, first she's on a bed with Lindsey and now she's watching movies with Mick... *sigh* poor Kristen and Lynn... they'll be stuck running the Maui Medical Center for Mystified Musicians.

Lindsey better hie. If he doesn't get himself a place in Hawaii soon, he'll be left out in the cold.

Michele

did anyone else notice in that video...when they played "don't stop" it sounds like a kidz bop version or something! almost like they changed the pitch!! wtf...tell me it just isn't me

from 1:44 to about 2:20


actually almost every song they play throughout the vid sounds either speed up or changed pitch.

Here is the link for anyone who hasn't seen it yet:

After watching it, I'd say it was pretty good. Nothing really new...its still all about Rumours :p... but I still liked it. I was especially interested in the Stevie/Mick bit...when the interviewer told Mick what Stevie had said, he seemed to get the slightest bit emotional talking about it...nothing too noticeable but I did see something there. Lets just hope they can keep this thing going and hopefully get back in the studio :nod:

I agree... I was getting annoyed with the show until that bit. I think it's so awesome after all these years, and all they've been through that they're soulmate friends.

It's interesting to hear too that Mick is ALSO acknowledging that it's been the toughest the past decade to get the band on the same page, and to get them together. Lindsey just said that too. Obviously it's something that we've all bitched about for eons... but it's good to know that the band at least acknowledges it.

This is definitely nothing we haven't heard before, but there are some moments that I particularly like:

"Waitress. CLEANING lady. We had one hundred dollar bills EVERYWHERE."

Stevie's random noise at 6:42. Hahahahahahaha!

Also, I like how the huge hole in her nose that threatened her life is now the little hole in her nose that threatened her voice. :)



I also appreciate Lindsey's use of "transcends". Everytime he says it, I smirk.


But yes-- I think the questions re: her current relationships with both Lindsey and Mick are very interesting. The bitter still exists with the former, I think, and that may be why we tend to get the most music about him-- the most powerful and debatably influential at that.

And Mick's reaction to that comment.... I love it. LOVE it.

Kinda like I loooooooooooooooooooooove everything about those three people.

Ahahahahahahaha...there were a few moments where she was the tiniest bit more animated than usual...that being one of them :laugh:

LOL...I noticed that too! I feel awful for her though...the same questions, the same conversation ALL THE TIME...if I were her I'd change things around a bit just to keep from slipping into a boredom induced coma!!!

I was actually kind of surprised that she took such an adamant stand on her current relationship with Lindsey...could it be that there is some underlying bitterness is boiling to the surface at the moment? The Mick bit actually made me teary...alright, I sort of cried...just a little :p

ME TOO!!! :nod:

I would feel really lame right now if I had been the only one to tear up (and by "tear up" I mean that I had tears running down my cheeks) during Mick's reaction to Stevie's answer that they were best friends.

I agree with Dani, I freaking love these people and stuff like this is why!

Now I feel like I need to go watch The Dance DVD or the Mirage DVD or something...

ahahahaha...that pretty much sums up my reaction too...I was just way too embarrassed to say it :p His reaction to what Stevie said already had me going...and then...he used the word soulmate :angel:
