We're not one of those bands ...

We're not one of those bands that throws the names of all their songs in a hat and pulls them out right before they go on stage.

Lindsey Buckingham 53 quotes

We've always had the sensibil...

We've always had the sensibility that you work on the set, and you structure it, much like a play, where once you've got the lines down and blocking right, you freeze it, and then you go out and do what you're doing night after night. You want to structure something that has form and that builds the right dynamic from start to finish.

It hasn't always been easy, b...

It hasn't always been easy, but you get to a point where you're not doing the solo stuff with any kind of expectation in terms of commercial or a business outcome, you're doing it because you believe in this.

If you go back to 'Louie Loui...

If you go back to 'Louie Louie,' there's the whole element there, where you need to be able to appreciate what 'dumb' is in its profoundness.

Lindsey Buckingham 53 quotes

Sometimes I wish we were the ...

Sometimes I wish we were the Eagles. That's one thing they've always been able to do is want the same thing for the same reasons.

Lindsey Buckingham 53 quotes

After the success of 'Rumours...

After the success of 'Rumours,' we were in this zone with this certain scale of success. By that point, the success detaches from the music, and the success becomes about the success. The phenomenon becomes about the phenomenon.

Lindsey Buckingham 53 quotes

When you make music, and even...

When you make music, and even if it's commercially successful, it doesn't mean that it's going to hold up. It takes time to sort of take stock of what you've done and whether it's got legs and whether it's going to really have a place.

Lindsey Buckingham 53 quotes

If you are gonna participate ...

If you are gonna participate in a band, you've got to be a band member in good standing, and you've got to think about the needs of the whole.

I don't read music. I've never had a lesson. I don't know anything about music other than what my inner knowledge is.

Lindsey Buckingham 53 quotes

If everybody wanted to follow...

If everybody wanted to follow the left side of the pallet like I had on 'Tusk,' there would have been no need for me to do solo work.

Lindsey Buckingham 53 quotes

There were a number of false ...

There were a number of false starts where I was trying to make solo albums. They would get constantly folded into group efforts. In retrospect, I can say fair enough, that you call yourself a band member, and you've got to step up to the plate when the need arises.

Lindsey Buckingham 53 quotes

That really was a lot of the ...

That really was a lot of the appeal of 'Rumours.' The music was wonderful, but the music was also authentic because it was two couples breaking up and writing dialogue to each other. It was also appealing because we were rising to the occasion to follow our destiny.

Lindsey Buckingham 53 quotes

There is a real joy to be abl...

There is a real joy to be able to get up and react to each other and appreciate the whole being greater than the sum of the parts, just the chemistry of the group.

Lindsey Buckingham 53 quotes

My foundation is acoustic gui...

My foundation is acoustic guitar, and it is finger-picking and all of that and sort of an orchestral style of playing. Lead guitar came later, more out of the necessity to do so because of expectations in a particular situation.

Lindsey Buckingham 53 quotes

When I was in a band after hi...

When I was in a band after high school and in college, I didn't even play the guitar. I played the bass because I couldn't play lead, and I didn't have the gear.

You can look at 'Rumours' and...

You can look at 'Rumours' and say, 'Well, the album is bright, and it's clean, and it's sunny.' But everything underneath is so dark and murky. What was going on between us created a resonance that goes beyond the music itself.

Lindsey Buckingham 53 quotes

The rest of the band had a cy...

The rest of the band had a cynical view towards the way 'Tusk' was made and the reasons why I thought it was important to move into new territory. It wasn't just negativity. There was open hostility. Then I got a certain amount of flak because it didn't sell as many as 'Rumours.'

Lindsey Buckingham 53 quotes

There is nothing like this extended family that is Fleetwood Mac. And I think you have to say, for all the perceived and real dysfunction that there has been, underneath that, there is and always has been a great deal of love. And that keeps pulling us back together.

Lindsey Buckingham 53 quotes

When people just decide they'...

When people just decide they're going to reconvene, there's no guarantee that they're going to have any of that chemistry. Sometimes people try to do that, and it's a struggle to try to recreate what once was.

Lindsey Buckingham 53 quotes

What happens with artists, or...

What happens with artists, or people who start off doing things for the right reasons, is that you slowly start to paint yourself into a corner by doing what people outside of the creative world are asking you to do, and I think that's antithetical to being an artist.
