Pissed off Stevie interview; Can't believe I've never seen this

I can't believe I've never seen this before.

Even with a ridiculous giant bow in her hair, she's still menacing. I don't think anyone got out of that room alive.

"He messed with my family, and you don't mess with my family...ever."

Maybe she was just pissed off that she was made up to look like a powdered jelly donut.

I love her more than ever.

I would be mad too if someone told me that one of my songs that I put my heart and soul into, is refused to be on one of my records because it's property of a band that I am also in as well, that would really piss me off. But in someways I can understand why but in other ways yeah, it's bull sh#t. Because you wrote that song, that is a chapter of your life story and it's been taken away from you and you can't have it. That does seem unfair, but what seemed bazaar was that she did her solo stuff on the Mac stage when they toured????!!! So what difference would it make ? She even did Mac songs when she did her solo tours.... What's the difference if you take the song you recorded with your band and put it on your gr. hits album than performing Mac songs on your solo stage???? I don't get it. I would be angry too. That was an interesting interview though. I never heard her talk about that before. I guess that's why she left Mac to begin with was because of "Silver Springs". She never mentioned that before. I guess VH1 behind the music needs to do better interviews and be more in detail...

I don't think that was a bow in her hair, that was a headband, and it was 1991, and I think her makeup and hair looked great. I love the red velvet dress. But I was focusing more on the interview and what she was saying that what she looked like. Sorry.

I'm thinking there was more going on than just the Mick/Silver Springs thing. She was heavily into her Klonopin period at this time, she was overweight, depressed, just recorded 2 new songs for her greatest hits album which weren't rocketing up the charts, and in general was feeling low. Her face is almost devoid of emotion, except bitchiness. She is exhibiting what some mental health clinicians describe as a 'flat affect'. She's pretty numb looking, sounding, and I'm pretty suprised that her organization thought this interview was a good career move for selling 'TimeSpace'. If I were doing her PR, I'd make a quick call to Modern records and ask for an emergency advance of several thousand of dollars for overtime fees for the camera and light man, and ask them to shoot it again. Really.

Not loading for me. It's not that bloody MTV Asia interview is it? Where they had her say all of that nonsensical tagline **** like, "I'm Stevie Nicks. Step out of this timespace and into MTV Asia" or whatever?

Wasn't this also when she was PO'd at Mick about his book?

[GoldDustOrphan]

I have no idea where this interview is from, but she's just MAD and wants her damn song back. I trying to find if there's more to this interview. She reminds me of Faye Dunaway in Supergirl.

Hi everyone

I'm new here and since there doesn't seem to be an introduction area, I think I'll just jump right in. I saw this interview quite some time ago. Her feelings on the matter are certainly understandable, and for whatever reason, she chose to air it publicly. I'm not sure if that was a good decision, but nevertheless, she did it. Being on tranquilizers could have had something to do with that...I don't know. She often wears her feelings on her sleeve like this. I suppose it was cathartic for her to get it out.

Aside from what she was discussing, what GoldDustOrphan said made me smile, because when I first saw this video, I was startled by her appearance...not because she doesn't look good (she always looks great), but because of the huge bow or floral thing in her hair, and those gigantic earrings (I know...it was the style then, but whoa). It also looks like she's wearing a huge wig. It's all a bit much for my eye. She looks just like a child's play doll to me (or yes, a jelly donut ), but I suppose that is part of what is so intriguing about her. She's always beautiful, even in some outrageous costume. I love the dress, but could have done without the rest of it. Just a bit too gaudy for my taste.

I think she looks pretty good (minus the bow). Modern Records probably thought her anger would be enticing, worthy of a Mac drama...

Who knows? Either way, I believe her anger and think she was right to be pissed.

Stevie spent practically half a year (in 1991) talking to the press about what a rat Mick Fleetwood was.

See these pieces:

1. Boston Sunday Globe - July 14, 1991
2. Datebook - Aug. 11, 1991
3. VH1-to-1 - August 1991
4. BBC Radio 1 - September 1991
5. E! Channel - September 1991 (the video interview above)
6. Vox - February 1992

Here's part of what she said on TV & in the press:

"I said if you don't give me back my song, then I won't write two new songs for your new record. So that's where it stands right now. He won't talk to me about it."

"Right now I'm not very happy with Mick, & it's over a pretty serious thing."

"I can't believe he's stupid enough to break this band up for a song he dumped in the garbage can. I have always loved Mick, & I have always done everything I could to keep him going. It's a pretty sad way to end Fleetwood Mac. This is going to be a shock to the rest of the band when they see the stupidity of Mick's decision. It has nothing to do with all the other things we could have broken up over. I didn't even get mad at him about his book."

"I'm in the middle of a very big fight with Mick. This is all so underhanded. I called him on Friday & said, 'If I don't have that tape of Silver Springs by Monday, I'm out.' He had three days & didn't deliver."

"It's not going to happen (record with the group in the future). The story's already all over, so there's no reason for me to really go into it. It all stems down to an argument between me & Mr. Fleetwood. And that's down to the fact that he would not return to me a song that he dumped in the can 14 years ago, slapped on the back of a single & was never heard from again. I wanted to put it on Timespace because it belongs to my mom, & he said, 'Over my dead body.' And I said, 'Well, you just broke the camel's back.' So I won't be involved any more."

"I have told the world what a vile thing it was that Mick Fleetwood had done to me, who has fought like a dog for 15 years to keep this band from breaking up. I don't really know what's going through Mick's mind. He never returned a phone call, & he never felt it was his duty to sit down & write a letter to tell me why. He has always been the boss of the group. He has always made all the decisions. And he has always made them without asking anyone else. So he had no reason to do this to us -- to break up the whole band."

[GoldDustOrphan]

It's pretty obvious that Stevie had Mick killed and replaced by a robot. And Lindsey's in on it. Christine probably found out about the robot double during The Dance tour when Mick-bot started giving off sparks when she accidentally spilled her Remy Martin on him. That's why she put an ocean between them. She's watched enough of those UK Hammer Studios horror movies to know the score. Well, that's the story I'm sticking to.

[michelle2677]

while I think stevie had every right to be pissed (after all, it WAS her song...) I'm glad mick didn't give in. in 1991, Silver Springs would have never received the recognition it got in 1997. Stevie was a wreck at the time and i don't think even that song could have pulled her out.


thinks turned out exactly as they were supposed to imo of course.

[GoldDustOrphan]

The attached photo was caught on a security cam years ago when Stevie claimed she was at Betty Ford, which she wasn't. It was a perfectly executed cover story.
Most drummers have been replaced by drum machines anyway, so it's really not such a stretch.
I think my next thread is Stevie Conspiracy Theories.
