Hi fellow fans

[Mac_Man_Dan]

before i write my essay, just thought id mention, i searched for a new members say hi thread but i couldnt find any but if ive missed it, very sorry

So my name is Dan, from england and have just recently discovered fleetwood mac PROPERLY!
i had already heard a few of the songs(through my parents) but have never sat down properly to listen to them and appreciate them for how i would eventually do so.

I was playing GTA one day and then "edge of seventeen" came up on the game radio. I had already heard it on school of rock but never paid attention as such. But then this song really stood out to me right then and so i decided to go search up the song on youtube where i could hear it properly. after listening to it, i looked at other videos, which then came up with Rhiannon live. I was unsure why it came up but then i suddenly realised it was stevie nicks who sang at the time. I already knew of the song but had never heard a live version....and i can say is that i was blown away how good it was.

I then had "The Green Manalishi" playing by judas priest, then someone telling me it was a cover of Fleetwood mac, so i listened to that version and was hooked just as much. So a couple of months before this Christmas(2010), i started really digging deep with the live videos available on youtube. By that time, i had Rhiannon live playing 10 times a night before going to bed!.

Deciding to buy the double CD greatest hits was probably the best decision i made before christmas and was just blown away by how good Lindsey and Stevie are. After downloading numerous live bootlegs, i was hooked(as i still am now), my love for the band have just got stronger and stronger ever sinse. I have got a few cd's and just recently starting a Vinyl collection, added a few Mac records to the list. Ironically, i bought Rumours for £1 a couple of weeks back, then just finding out i bought it 1 day before its 34th anniversery(spooky!)

so up until now, plenty of bootlegs, lots of demos and sessions, vinyls, CD,....and so much love for Stevie and Lindseys epic guitar work. Only after this short time, the impact they have had on me have made them my 2nd favourite band of all time in such a short time, its unbelievable!

sorry for this long rant, but i really needed to get this out in the open as i feel this to me is extremely emotional to me, and hopefully you will read this and feel the love in this ! and please please dont delete this, as this is from the heart(and has taken a long time to write!)

and now im here, to talk Mac with all you fans, i feel i will really enjoy this forum and learn much i hope!

thanks

dan
