First Time Hearing Fleetwood Mac - The Chain Reaction Video - ROCK MIXED WITH A LITTLE COUNTRY? 

You never know what you’re going to get from 70’s music; This album is a masterpiece and all teenagers from the 70’s had this album playing on our turntables, great group

Nobody will complain if you do the live version of this. The emotion adds a whole other layer to this song.

RIP Christine McVie (12 July 43 - 30 November 22), keyboardist & vocalist. Her song "Songbird" was played a lot in tribute at her passing.

Rumors released in 1977 and over 40 million albums sold worldwide. All while there were several breakups going on in the band. This is a group of highly talented people individually, but exploded collectively with hit after hit. You simply must do this entire album. Many of the band members have continued making music for 50 years. But we lost Christine McVie recently. RIP. This band is indeed one of the most popular in US and many other countries!

Fleetwood Mac 'Rumors', one of the greatest classic rock albums ever made.

Ahhhh when younger people discover real music from my youth.....😅. There is not a bad song on this album

Now you're getting Rock royalty Hall of Fame Fleetwood Mac

Fleetwood Mac are a British/American rock band formed in London in 1967. Their album "Rumours" (1977) has sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums in history. All the songs on it are great. "Go Your Own Way", "Dreams", "Don't Stop", "You Make Loving Fun". "Second Hand News", "Gold Dust Woman" etc. Other songs from other albums are "Over My Head", "Say You Love Me", "Rhiannon", "Landslide", "Tusk", "Think About Me", "Sara", "Hold Me", "Love In Store", "Gypsy", "Oh Diane" etc. Sadly Christine McVie passed away last year.

Hey guys thats not a banjo , its a dobro guitar. Lindsey Buckingham is a very unique guitar player. He uses a few alternate tunings and has a sort of unorthadox picking approach at times. Also , you've probably heard Fleetwood Mac before just didn't know it was them. Their music has been used in commercials & tv , not sure about movies.

Lot's of variety in Fleetwood Mac to check out! Particularly since three members take turns as lead vocalist and there was a completely different blues version of the band early in their career. Also, this album was made while everyone in the band was going through a break up...in most cases, with each other! The guitarist and one of the singers were breaking up and the bassist and Keyboardist were going through a divorce. They were all writing songs directed at each other! It's an emotionally charged album.

Landslide, Dreams, Rhiannon, Gypsy, Sara, Gold Dust Woman, Everywhere, Go Your Own Way, You Make Loving Fun, Tusk, Never Going Back Again, Don't Stop, Silver Springs( live from The Dance), Say You Love Me, Over My Head are good songs too start with. They are a mix of American and British. Three different members sing lead. Stevie Nicks would be the most famous member. She is a rock goddess and has been known to enchant reactors with her voice and presence even with songs that care decades old.

When this album was released in 1977, people gasped at the production values of the album. It was top-tier state-of-the art production for that time. Utter clarity, superb mixing.

Going down a very big rabbit hole with Fleetwood Mac. Enjoy their tracks. I'm from the UK and the end instrumental of this from the bass line was used in our TV highlights coverage of Formula 1 races in the 80's. Very fitting music to the sport!

Christine McVie, the keyboardist and one of the songwriters of FW, just recently passed away. "Rumours" is one of the top selling albums of all time. Recommend listening in its entirety.

One of my all time favorites. That effing bass line. *chef's kiss*

The live version of this is amazing.

One of their best songs…..written during breakups in the band…..

Back story on this band is crucial. Two couples (guitarist Lindsey Buckingham-singer Stevie Nicks, bassist John McVie-singer/keyboards Christine McVie) were breaking up when this record was made. Their best music a mix of anguished breakup songs (like this) and breezy/beautiful love songs. Personal and musical chemistry intertwined.

The entire Rumours album is amazing…and their 1988 album Tango in the Night is excellent. Keep reacting to Fleetwood Mac. Thank god for the dysfunction in this band that gave us so much awesome music👍🏼

It’s not a banjo. It’s Lindsay Buckingham playing his acoustic guitar. An interesting tthing to note is that he finger picks. He’s one of the best guitarists who ever lived. He and Stevie Nicks joined the band as a couple and broke up, but stayed in the band. This song is one of a series of back and forth songs between them in what is the longest running breakup in the history of the world. Listen to Go your own way, Big Love, Blue Letter. But start with their first big hit, Rhiannon. If you stick with it, this is a deep dive that will take a while and you won’t regret it. Much love ❤️

The second bass lead part was, as previously mentioned, the Formula 1 theme tune on BBC. It is probably known as the F1 music to most racing fans in the World outside the US.

Great reaction guys! They were extremely popular back in the day and have a large selection of songs to choose from. Several band members had on and off again relationships and the emotions come though in their songs.

♥ those bass & drum & drops

SO much to dive into with Fleetwood Mac. Especially on this Rumours album. But one of my favourites by FM is *Rhiannon.* Sung by the lovely Stevie Nicks (she did backing vocals on The Chain). Highly recommend their performance of Rhiannon they did on The Midnight Special. It features so much more than the studio version does (it’s like 2 minutes longer). One of the best live rock performances of all-time imo.

And in the understatement of the year, “sounds like the end of a relationship “😂😂😂

Great reaction !! Fleetwood Mac is a British/American rock group. The lead singer (Stevie Nicks) and the electric guitar player (Lindsey Buckingham) are both from the USA. The drummer and founding member(Mick Fleetwood) is from Great Britain. The bass player Jon McVie and the keyboard player/lead vocals Christine McVie ( RIP) are also from Britain. Please react to Fleetwood Mac - Dreams. This band is amazing. Cheers!!

Can't imagine my 70 years without Fleetwood Mac!!! My favorites from them is "Silver Spring". This is a GREAT rabbit hole to travel through!!! Enjoy the journey!!🎵🎼🎶🥁🎤🎙🎸🎹🔥🤘💕💕

You need to react to Rhiannon live by Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac one of the great live performances of all time!

Only band in the world that writes and sings hate songd about each other...mostly Stevie and Lindsey. She makes him sing her breakup songs to him.. Pay attention to the lyrics

This song is about breakup, well three breakups which took part in band. To much anger venom and sadness in this song, but also what a passion and energy lvl is beyond.

One of THE best rock albums EVER made! Truly. No comparison! The fiery and explosive relationship between Stevie and Lindsey as an on and off again couple really resulted in some amazing songs based on their experience.

one of the best albums of all time!

I love them So much. Born in 2006. Guys, music is timeless.

I love Stevie Nicks because she had this witchy backwoods midnight voodoo shack style to her song writing and even persona. This is a good representation of that.

And one of the most iconic bass lines in rock....ever.

Good introduction to The Mac .. please continue. ❤

This album is regarded as one of the greatest perfect albums in rock music. There's just something about rumors., it just kills on every song but each in its own way. And by the way that's not a banjo but a mandolin, but yeah that definitely adds a tiny bit of a Bluegrass or hillbilly element to it, and both of those are also related to country music ultimately. But they were their own sound, to me it's just 70s rock but it's like the best of it. But seriously, you could wrecked every single song on this album and I don't know if you ever do albums but you could do this one song by song or sometimes people will put two of them together when they go through an album. But this is such an iconic and historic album. It's great to start at the beginning and just experience it all the way to the end, both sides of the record. I can't remember but I think this song might start off side B of the record. It's a fan-favorite but then every song on this album is a fan favorite.

What can one say about Fleetwood Mac that hasn't already been said. They are, and always have been, on another plane.

Lindsey Buckingham, the band's guitarist, is one of the most famous fingerpickers in rock music. Which brings me to another band that you should check out: Dire Straits, fronted by guitar virtuoso Mark Knopfler (also a fingerpicker). Some suggestions would be "Sultans of Swing", "Telegraph Road", "Tunnel of Love", and "Brothers in Arms". Make sure you check out the full versions of these songs! Also, the first three got brilliant live renditions from the album "Alchemy: Dire Straits Live", and the band performed a moving version of the latter at a tribute concert for Nelson Mandela. They also scored other hits, though, such as "Money for Nothing" (the ground-breaking music video is worth checking out, and the song has a magnificent guitar riff) and "Walk of Life".

Stevie Nicks is the best known member of the group. It's a song that sounds better when it's totally silent outside. I'd like to request some Styx, perhaps the song Lady.

In Great Britain this song, the base part anyway, is legendary amongst formula 1 fans as is was used by the BBC for years as its theme music for the Grand Prix.

Formed by Peter Greene in 1967 as a Blues Band. Peter Greene was a fantastic Blues Guitarist and writer. He left in 71. The band’s founder members John McVie ( base guitar) and Mick Fleetwood ( drummer) have had various members in the band. Christine McVie ( maiden name Prefect) had been in and out of the group. She was songwriter and keyboards and joined the band permanently at the beginning of the 70’s. Married and divorced John McVie. Then around 1973 two Americans Lindsey Buckingham ( Lead Guitarist and vocals) and Stevie Nicks (Lead Vocals and unlimited talent for songwriting) joined the group. They produced a self titled album which was brilliant. However it was followed by the album Rumours, every track is an absolute platinum star. The on off real life relationship between Buckingham and Nicks is reflected in the songs and when they where at their worst that’s when Stevie wrote her best. With only Christine being the Peacemaker. Unfortunately Christine died a few months ago and Lindsey, one of the greatest Guitarists left the band.

The entire Rumors album is amazing. A true classic. A vibe of it’s own you have to listen to.

You definitely need to do Rhiannon live from 1976 Midnight Special!

The live version from 1982 is amazing. The angst from failed relationships is crazy

Love these guys in concert. They are awesome live.....

Stevie Nicks is one of the most recognized voices in Rock

Unquestionably one of the greatest albums ever made. Incredible female vocalists and songwriters and then Lindsey Buckingham songwriting, singing and guitar plucking is epic. You should just pick a song a month and go with it. Dreams, Gold Dust Woman, You Make Loving Fun, Go Your Own Way

I love you guys. I'm still shocked with the amount of the greatest acts in the world that you never heard of. I actually get a kick out of it. I know your young however it boggles my mind how little you were exposed to this acts. On the positive side you are in for a huge treat as you get to know them. Love your channel.

from one of the greatest albums ever made!

LOL! So much talent, in so many incarnations! Whatta' rabbit hole! More, please!!

New subscriber!👍 One of the most popular bands of the 70's and 80's.

Great video guys keep em coming!

One of the ICONS of music! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Saw them live in Australia, amazing concert.

Watching the live version, especially from the concert The Dance, is a must!

Formed in the 60s by drummer MICK FLEETWOOD, (Fleetwood Mick) the group went through several guitar changes, style, and personnel. In 1975, Mick heard a tape by Buckingham/Nicks and really liked the guitar. Linsey Buckingham happened to be there in the studio. Mick asked him to join the group, and Linsey said "as long as my girlfriend Stevie (Nicks, the queen of rock and roll). After discussions with Christine and John McVeigh (keys and bass) they gave it a try. One of rocks most talented and mystical bands.

Fleetwood started as a British band but in the early 70's 2 Americans joined them, Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. This song is about the personnel break up of Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. There is a live performance video (fleetwood mac channel on YT) where you can feel the tension in the performance.

Just found your channel, I can't wait to suggest some music for you...I'm retired radio jock from the 70's-2011, Primarly in "classic rock" but there is so, so much to dive into...but Fleetwood Mac was considered rock back in the day, a little softer, but there wasn't a teenager alive at that time that didn't have this album, I had it on 8-track, cassette, and album. Rock ON!!

Always been one of my favorites! ❤

One of my all time favorite bands, i saw them in the late 80s while stationed overseas. Stevie Nicks the lead singer is from Arizona

Great reaction glad you enjoyed the chain and the songs bass ending is most notable for being the theme for Formula 1 radio coverage for many years

❤ Beeing a fan of Fleetwood Mac since I was somewhere around 15 years old 1975, ❤ never seen them live, sorry to say(seen Stevie Nicks twice, 1982 at Peace Sunday at the Rose Bowl and at US festival 1983, that give me ❤ a lot of comfort...)

"We have Nigel Mansell on pole... And the British Grand Prix is GO GO GO!!!" Murray Walker. Iykyk!

You guy's are my fave couple on youtube:). You guy's have a great sense of humor and u like good music

I have a special relationship with this band and, especially, this album. I remember playing it full volume in the 70s on the cassette player in my fully packed car as I drove off to find my new life - best decision ever! "Go Your Own Way" is one of my favorites but the entire album is GREAT! Fleetwood Mac has a 50 year long, stormy history but, WOW, they created iconic music...their instrumentation and their lyrics are incredible. I still listen to their albums and I love seeing their LIVE performances on youtube...saw them only once in concert - FANTASTIC! Some brief history - Mac Fleetwood (English) was in the US, saw Lindsay Buckingham on guitar, and offered him a job with his band. According to Lindsay, he accepted with the proviso that his girlfriend at the time, Stevie Nicks, also be asked to join the band. (I'm not sure if Stevie would agree with Lindsay's recollection of these events.) Stevie - originally from Phoenix, AZ - was in a relationship with Lindsay and working with him as a duo - they had released an album together. After Mac conferred with Christine McVie - the other female vocalist in the band - and received her approval, Mac offered Stevie the job. Lindsay and Stevie joined he band and the rest is history! During their first tour, Stevie and Christine became the closest of friends and remained so right up to Christine's untimely passing in November, 2022. Christine was an amazing, talented musician on many instruments and wrote beautiful lyrics - listen to one of her songs, "Songbird" and you will see what I mean.

One of the best albums ever produced.

happy to say i have this on vinyl and listen to it quite often.

That wasn't a banjo, it was an electric guitar. Lindsey Buckingham has an unorthodox style involving a lot of finger picking.

British/American band one of the greatest back when they played real music everyone had talent you had to back then no faking it used to drive around in our cars playing their music as loud as we could rock and roll was a beginning so you couldn't put it in a box, an experimental sound that was a combination of everything that came before then grew God bless

Stevie Nicks has an amazing and unique voice, one if the best women singers of all time in my book

Love this one!

I was listening to Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green and the new members. Great group

By the time Rumours was coming out, none of the band wanting anything to do with each other. They recorded a good portion of the album, as well as this song, in separate recording studios. In my opinion, The Chain is their love of music and the hard work they did to get them so far. It binds them together through all of their hardships and pain. Every member is credited for writing it. Wait till you see the live 1982 video. Stevie and Lindsey are glaring daggers at each other, probably hyped up on coke-

Grew up with Fleetwood Mac...thanks Ma and Pops!

Incredible live performance!

Fleetwood Mac is great, a great cover to this song was done by Little Big Town at the CMA’s live with Keith Urban on the guitar which you will appreciate. A fun song by Little Big Town that will get stuck in your head I’d called Wine, Beer, whiskey. I never knew you could make a song with so many types of liquor 😂

Fleetwood Mac was founded by guitarists and vocalists Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer and drummer Mick Fleetwood. Bob Brunning was hired as a temporary bass guitarist before John McVie joined the line-up in time for their eponymous debut album. Danny Kirwan joined as a third guitarist and vocalist in 1968. Keyboardist and vocalist Christine Perfect, who contributed as a session musician starting with the band's second album, married McVie and joined Fleetwood Mac as a full member in 1970, becoming known as Christine McVie. Wikipedia. Fleetwood after Mick Fleetwood. Mac after John McVie.

That bass is so dirty. It's freakin amazing. Love that part

Saw them in 2016..the WHOLE band together! Absolutely amazing!👍. The concert was in Atlantic City,NJ 🥰

Fleetwood Mac started as a British Blues band featuring guitarist Peter Green (check out the song Oh Well) and after Green left they went through lineup changes until Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined and they hit pay dirt and became one of the biggest bands in the world with that lineup.

I love when you said "lets let them finish it out" hahahahahhahahah the best part

"Little Lies", "Everywhere", "Dreams", "You Make Loving Fun", "Rhiannon", "Go Your Own Way", "Don't Stop", "Hold Me", "Gold Dust Woman", "Second Hand News" - all worth checking out.

The band had 3 lead singers at that point Ms Christine McVie vocals/keyboards, Mr Lindsey Buckingham vocals/guitar, Ms Stevie Nicks vocals/tambourine/twirling around and the 2 basic founding members Mick Fleetwood drums and John McVie bassist. Very blues oriented in the beginning with there original 3 guitars and vocalist but when Americans Stevie & Lindsay came on board they went super sonic.

Just classic rock. Just like Bob seger. My favorite song of theirs. Stevie used to b a witch. Back I'm the day.

The live version of Silver Springs from The Dance is, in my opinion, the best song recorded for the album but it was left off of it. It is phenomenal, as are your reactions!

Three song suggestions: Luciano Pavarotti- Nessun Dorma Kim Carnes- Bette Davis Eyes Van Morrison- Tupelo Honey

Huge catalog for you to dive into!

Had a old west sound to it. My sister liked Fleetwood mac growing up

this is the only song in the bands time together that credits all 5 members as song writters.

The live album called the dance is such a great live performance Silver Springs, such an amazing song to check out, live on that the dance, or the bonus version of that

Yo I love when y'all get in the mode..

This is one of their best that song was between the two lead singers most of this album is about a group a lot of breaking up and cheating going on within the band members. But no matter what they all decided to stay together as a band. I think it would be great if you did reactions to this this album but live when they're on stage they gave a good stage performance😊

Love your innocence when it comes to older(For You) music. A bit of advice. Try to listen to live versions or studio versions where you see the people performing. Thanks for your sharing..

Take a deep dive a great great band of super talented singers song writers. Much of their music came out of the struggles , loves betrayals that's were the emotion come from

When the band was writing the song, there 3 couples going through breakups. The chain was the band Fleetwood Mac, they voweled to never let the personal problems break up the band.

I would live to see you react to the 1982 live version of The Chain - you can feel the emotions between Lindsay and Stevie on stage.

Originally started by Peter Green. Great British Blues Guitarist. To date this album has sold over 40 million copies. From the base bit was used for years by the BBC as the theme for their Formula 1 coverage.

No banjo on this track. That’s an electric acoustic guitar played by the extremely underrated Lindsey Buckingham. ✌🏼😎

We wore this album out when it came out. Not a bad song on it!
