Customer Reviews

Excellent telling of the life of a 60s - 80s Rock Star

Well done. Easy & fun to read. Lots of interesting stories. If you have aspirations to be a hugely successful artist of any kind this book will be a good guide of things to do and not to do.

So personal.........

I am close to finishing this book which I learned was given to my husband many years ago. It has given me a personal insight into what I never looked at that way. Mick Fleetwood always seemed like a big freak to me. But he is "fleetwood" and he knows how it all went. It is truly an insight into his feelings and a lot more. If you love fleetwood mac, read this and learn all about them - and him, from the beginning.(I'm sure there is a lot you didn't know.). It is touching. Really. Just get it and read it. There's nothing else to say, except how moved I am by this book. Read it.

A correction.

The two songs on the CD included with the hard cover edition are actually from Jeremy Spencer's 1970 solo album - released shortly after Fleetwood Mac's Then Play On, which Jeremy did not play on. Although essentially a Fleetwood Mac album, it has never been released on CD. The songs feature Jeremy, Danny Kirwan, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie - in fact everyone in Fleetwood Mac at the time EXCEPT Peter Green, who only played on one track on the album.

A must for any Fleetwood Mac fan!

I had to wait a year and a half to get this book (it was already out of print). but boy, was it worthwhile! An insiders view of the often turbulent career of one of the greatest bands ever! Mick Fleetwood tells it all with an open heart. The book smells sincerity and the drummer gives us one of the best biographies I ever saw, telling all the good or bad facts he saw during his 25 plus years in the band. Unlyke meny other books about rock bands, mr. Fleetwood doe not try to hide anything about the rock life he gone through. I could not stop reading it until I finished it. A very touching book. As a human being and musician mr. Fleetwood has got my respect. Long Live Fleetwood Mac!

Great reading, but read it with an open mind!

I loved this book! I was unable to put the book down and finished it in one evening. The first part of the book deals with Mick's childhood and musical roots, while the latter part focuses on the various Fleetwood Mac line-ups. The book becomes enthralling by the time Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham join the band, and from then on it reads like a soap opera. I do suggest that readers realize that they are basically reading only Mick Fleetwood's point of view, however. I have read comments about the book by the other members of Fleetwood Mac, and they do suggest that there are inaccuracies. The book is excellent entertainment and very revealing, however, that is likely to be appreciated and enjoyed by any Fleetwood Mac fan!

Excellent book by Mick! Bravo Mick Fleetwood!

Mick Fleetwood has done an excellent job of recounting the wild lives of the members of Fleetwood Mac. This is a MUST READ for FM fans. You may want to skim over the first couple of chapters that relate to Mick's childhood, but once he gets to talking about the rock and roll scene, you won't be able to stop reading. Especially when Stevie and Lindsey join the band! You will not want this book to end. I read this book in one evening! I could not put it down until I was finished. READ THIS!
