He holds the band’s creative leader in awe and exasperation. “One of his solo records took ****ing seven years,” says Fleetwood. “I think he overcooked the veal. I go, ‘You’re running this into the ground.’ Well, he’s insecure, and I mean that nicely. I think the whole band is insecure. Then you go, ‘Sweetheart, you kidding me? You’re one of the greatest guitar players in the ****ing world,’ and he has no ****ing idea! He’s a child.”
