Fleetwood Mac TUSK album

C'mon...

Success at the level of Fleetwood Mac is huge...

None of them are hurting for money.

no, seriously... Mick was flat broke. They spent so much money recording those albums that they never made royalties off the sales. Just publising. And Mick didn't write enough to make much off publishng.

I love Fleetwood Mac, by the way, and I even like Tusk.. it's just a really fucked up album.
 
It is fucked, but it's a fucking brilliant mess. I haven't listen to it in a while, but when it first came out, it never left my turntable.

I love "Sara" and "Storms," but "Beautiful Child" is a hidden Stevie gem. Also Christine's "Brown Eyes" is great.

I just read a recent interview with Stevie in a British paper. She talked about the band's finances - Lindsey, Stevie and Christine made millions because they were the principal songwriters. Mick wasn't, but spent money like he was. He went bankrupt - twice. He also had a long affair with Stevie.

Stevie also mentions the cocaine and confirms that her doctor told her she had a hole in her septum and would lose her nose if she kept it up.

The most interesting part of the interview was when she discussed her lovelife - Lindsey, Don Henley, Jimmy Iovine. She says to the incredulous interviewer that the love of her was Joe Walsh!

This thread brings back memories. When I was a teenager, FM was by far my favorite band, but after Tusk and Bella Donna, my musical taste changed and I lost interest. I liked to get Tusk on CD and give it another listen.
 
My favourite about Tusk? The fact that they released the title track as the first single. It's got a marching band on it, Stevie doesn't seem to know the lyrics, which don't seem to make much sense anyway, and it's called Tusk, for God's sake. I think it's the best thing they ever did.

I remember that the original vinyl version was insanely lavishly packaged: cardboard sleeves in more cardboard sleeves. I think it broke some sort of price point when it came out.

If you ever want proof that FM (and their A&R people) were whacked out in those days.
 
It was, at the time, the most expensive album ever recorded. I heard up to 10 million dollars (which in 1979 was a HUGE amount when most albums cost under 20 grand at the time).

Problem was that it was way too expensive to buy, too... and the last nail in the coffin was that many radio stations across the country played the album uninterrupted from beginning to end the day before it was released... and everyone taped it.
 
Didn't Stevie also have a boob job that she had to have taken out?
 
"...And it was just like, a great dark wing,
Within the winds of a storm....."

God, I just love her to death........
 
Has Stevie ever performed "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You" when she was playing with Fleetwood Mac?
 
After "Tusk" , the other bandmembers vowed they would never get sucked into another Lindsay B vanity project again.
 
If by "grounded" you mean "completely uninteresting", then yes. Yes it was.

Does anyone know why Christine McVie decided to leave the group once and for all? "Songbird" is one of my favorite all time songs.

She's enjoying retirement, I guess.

Honestly, they all retired in one way or another aside from Stevie who still seems to show up in a lot of places.

That "say you will" album was really just a Lindsay buckingham EP that was flushed out with a few Stevie songs so they could put "Fleetwood Mac" on the cover and find a label that would release it.
