Yea, but in return Buckingham sang the lead vocals in a song clearly about him (The Chain). It’s great to watch the live recordings because you can see how nicks and buckingham are spitting the words at each other.
I tried listening to find what you're talking about, but I cannot endure her goat-bleating voice. I honestly wonder how her band members can endure listening to that fingernails-on-chalkboard voice hours a day for decades. I'm glad I could click away so easily.
I mean, after the year 2000, yes No Doubt entirely became a joke.
Which is extra sad considering how decent their first 3 albums were and how cool Gwen used to be vs the sellout she is now (a term I almost never use for anyone).
You start with a bunch of drama. Mix in some personal animosity and a dash of dysfunction. Then you add a little cocaine. Ok, a little more. Actually let's go with a lot more. Mix it all up real good.
Then you take the mixture, give it a dramatic name, like "Rumours", pop it into a record press, and voila! Out pops a crisp, best selling album.
any time I ask fleetwood mac fans what makes them special, it's always that they were really awful to one another, and the person telling me about it always gets really excited like I should be impressed that they were really awful to one another.
Generally, it's not about any one person in particular. It's about people in the music industry whose egos become needlessly inflated and they show it. It's a general song. It's applicable to anyone in their life.
Randy Blythe to metal hammer after the Grammy nomination
"It's pretty clear to everyone who the song [Redneck] is about. Just watch the Killadelphia DVD, and you'll see what was going on. I love Randy like a brother, but that doesn't mean we don't have our problems. So if I have to be the one to say something, then I will. And if that means that someone's gonna get punched in the mouth, then someone's gonna get punched in the mouth... And if that means someone's going to have to sing a lyric about themselves, then they're gonna sing a lyric about themselves."
