I like this and all but would have preferred Fleetwood Mac's version in the film.

I get the idea that it won't be played during the film (it is a historical picture after all), but just over the closing credits when people start exiting the theater.

Still, it's nice for Stevie to have one of her songs attached to what looks like a prestigious picture. Instead of something like 'Heavy Metal' where 'Blue Lamp' was played for like 10 seconds, and in a scene - the cabbie taking to prostitutes in the police station if I remember correctly - that had nothing to do with the song at all.

Ditto for 'Sleeping Angel', 'Battle of the Dragon', and 'Twisted'.

Did anyone see 'Sweet November'? I did, but don't remember hearing 'Touched By An Angel' in it.

There's a film called Suffragette being advertised.. The backing music is a vocal, spooky version of Landslide. Is this new or something I just missed?

Could never listen to covers of this song, as great as any singer may be they can't do it justice. Sorry if I sound biased

I kind of like the Smashing Pumpkins cover of it though..it is just different enough to make it interesting.

One of my friends favorite stories involves this song. I was out at a bar with him and met this really great guy and we hit it off. We exchanged numbers and went out on a date. I can't remember how it came up but we talked about our favorite musicians and I of course mentioned my girl Stevie Nicks. He had no idea who she was and I mentioned Landslide and he said "OMG I love that Dixie Chicks song"....when I told my friend he said "Gav, that ain't gonna work out"

I already posted about this.

Actually the first to post it was Sanne (Goldduststevie) in the nuggets section but it's not bad to be reminded.

I saw 'Suffragette' today.

While the movie is excellent, 'Landslide' is NOWHERE in the film! Not even over the ending credits.

It was only used for the trailer.

you laugh but it has been rumored for years that she in fact has given a lot of people at least a share in the royalties for many of her songs...and sometimes the musical contribution was negligible. Other times people did help her make a song successful in one way or another. Hernan Rojas claims she gave him a portion of Sara for helping her arrange it. Of course, they also began dating sometime during the recording of Tusk as well....

It seems like a lot of that was earlier on in her career with FM; after the entourage got around her and had more control I wouldn't be surprised if that stopped.

From Wikipedia:

"No Questions Asked" is a soft rock song performed by British-American music group Fleetwood Mac, and written by Stevie Nicks. Nicks gave her friend Kelly Johnston a writing credit because Nicks wrote the song in a hotel room without a tape recorder and Kelly Johnston provided one for her. Nicks claims the song would never have been written if Johnston had not been there.
