![]() ![]() ![]() When Fleetwood Mac arrives, Rojas falls in love with its star singer, Stevie Nicks, and the two of them become romantically involved. Hernan Rojas’s story recounts a young man who leaves Chile after General Pinochet’s coup to seek his future in the music industry of Los Angeles, where he finds success at one of the hottest studios in town. In this behind-the-scenes look at the making of Fleetwood Mac’s epic, platinum-selling double album, Tusk, producers and engineers Ken Caillat and Hernan Rojas tell their stories of spending a year with the band in their new million-dollar studio trying to follow up Rumours, the biggest rock album of the time.įollowing their massive success, the band continued its infamous soap opera when its musical leader and guitarist, Lindsey Buckingham, threatened to quit if he didn’t get things his way, resulting in clashes not only with his band but especially Caillat, who had been essential to the band’s Grammy-winning sound. Aside from their gratefulness, they also moved to the very top of my list of best concerts I have been to. I’ve never seen a band interact with the crowd that much and actually be that thankful for people coming out to see them. In fact, I’ve never been to a show where the band was so appreciative of the crowd and genuinely happy to be there. You would think that after the success of an album like “Rumours” the members of Fleetwood Mac would be lost in their own self-awesomeness, but they are not. ![]() It was a surprise because Fleetwood Mac are not your typical rock stars. Now, I love cocky rock stars, don’t get me wrong, but imagine the surprise that I got when I went to see Fleetwood Mac in Des Moines this week. They just like to know everyone is there to worship them. No act would be successful without their fans, but it seems like the rockers that have been doing it for a long time don’t care about that anymore. The band starts to forget how they even got there in the first place. Especially when they have become uber successful. I think it is safe to make the assumption that after a while all bands get a little full of themselves. ![]()
