So when you have that kind of success, you’re potentially put in a position to suddenly start to forget who you are as an artist. It had come from the center of our beings, and it had been completely spontaneous and nothing was done out of any sort of expectations other than what we wanted to accomplish. Everything we’d done to that point had come from within.
It was fulfilling because we were poised at that point - after that huge, huge success from Rumours - to be in this position of suddenly being influenced and manipulated by external forces and expectations. I just go out there, plug it in, and hopefully become psychically plugged in as well. I think by virtue of that, I never felt like I needed to prepare on a nightly basis in any way, whether it was vocally or exercises for the guitar. I was blessed with never having been nervous going onstage. I would hear Mick Fleetwood trying to play the guitar to keep himself calm so that he wouldn’t be too nervous. I was never interested in vocal exercises. All around me in Fleetwood Mac, you could hear through the walls of the dressing rooms, people going, La, la, la, la, la, la, stuff like that. I have no discipline whatsoever other than to remain calm and centered and just trust that my impulses are going to be correct. I don’t really do any finger exercises, by the way. I don’t think it ever got more rigorous than “Big Love” with the actual demands of the part required. Like, basically having one guitar do the work of a whole track, and wanting to include that as one approach in the making of an album. “Big Love” evolved from what it had been as an ensemble to a single guitar-and-voice piece onstage and became the template idea for quite a few other songs to follow, in terms of making the statement both onstage and on recordings. That was one of the things that began to evolve after I left the band - I realized I wanted to try to address that finger style in a more complete way. The stage version of “Big Love.” It was the first single from Tango in the Night, but it was an ensemble piece at the time. Guitar solo that makes your fingers hurt the most But in the moment, it definitely divided up the room. It also has become understood in terms of why it was done and is appreciated for that.
I think Tusk has stood the test of time and it’s one that resonates with fellow artists more in a lot of ways. I think that that was probably part of the reaction from part of the audience too - it was alienating in a certain way, which ultimately turned out to be constructive. And they were probably going, What the hell is this? Because they didn’t really know what they were getting. first sat down in their boardroom and put the whole album on and played it collectively. I always joke that I would’ve loved to have been a fly on the wall when Warner Bros. You lose maybe a certain faction of people when you move that far to the left. It was just the success detached from the music, and it became about the success at some point. You might make the case for saying that Rumours as an album was overrated, and it wasn’t. When Tusk came out with the song and the album, people either got why we did it and appreciated the departure we’d made, or it alienated them. We gave them something totally different. It wasn’t so much about the song than it was the whole album Tusk and the fact that everyone was expecting Rumours II. During a break in his touring schedule, Buckingham spoke from his California home about the highest highs and lowest lows of his career. But after bringing a lawsuit against the rest of the band, the subsequent settlement, his emergency triple bypass surgery, various reconciliations, and a maybe/maybe not divorce from his wife - phew - Buckingham now finds himself in a fulfilled state of mind, enjoying the September release of his newest solo album, Lindsey Buckingham. (You thought playing “Never Going Back Again” night after night would be easy?) Unsurprisingly, there was the requisite gossipy domino effect of headlines for the next few years.

It’s long been theorized that it takes two other guitarists to cover one Lindsey Buckingham, which was proved back in 2018 when the fingerpicking deity was unceremoniously fired from Fleetwood Mac and had to be replaced with a duo of rock elders for the band’s ensuing tour.
