A Band Together. but Who Knew We'd Find As Durable an Application Of
o R M D EVERY MUSICIAN KNOWS IT’s THE RHYTHM SECTION THAT HOLDS a band together. But who knew we’d find as durable an application of that maxim as the one exemplified by the history of Fleetwood Mac? & Over the last thirty years, Fleetwood Mac has comprised fifteen musicians shuffled through six major lineups, resulting in endless tin- kerings with tone and genre. Yet the two members to survive it all rarely write tunes and never front the recordings. They’re the beat- keepers - drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John Me Vie. The fact that a rhythm section could sustain a band through thirty years seems all the more amazing considering the traumatic histories of the band’s shifting array o f stage-front stars. Together, their personal lives have given rock one of its most elaborate and juicy plotlines. (L Religious conversions, spells o f madness, “incestuous” liaisons within the band, drug freak-outs, alleged brainwashings, imperson- Mick ^ stevie ations, everything short of murder have spun Nicks, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Fleetwood Mac’s legacy into a story worthy of Buckingham (from left) Scheherazade. & Musically the band has endured just as many twists, moving from blues to rockabilly to laid-back California folk rock - finally to bloom into purveyors of some of the most popular and endur- ing music of the Seventies.

Near the top of a winding one-lane road cut into a ruddy hillside, a shady driveway dips beneath a canopy of trees to reveal a spread that—minus the citrus groves—looks more like an English country home than a tropical retreat. Clouds that seem but an arm’s length away cast moody shadows over the homestead, giving the sense that this place is half a world from the sun- lit valley below. Lovely bushes of pink and blue flowers abuzz with bees line the roundabout that lies before the front door. Beyond it, stretching into the trees, a long, manicured lawn awaits a garden party or a game of croquet.

Jeremy Spencer
THIS ARTICLE WAS PUBLISHED ON THEBLUEMAGAZINE.COM IN AUGUST 2020 Exclusive Interview: Jeremy Spencer Five Finger Death Punch founding drummer Jeremy Spencer talks to Blue about the perils of being a rock n roll star with an addiction to drugs and alcohol By Eddie Molina There are many things law enforcement officers are good at; solving crimes, responding to domestic violence calls, driving like a stunt man. But one of my favorites we’re good at- partying. Although closing bars are a thing of the past for me (thank you wife and children), I manage to get my fun time in with a few cold beers on my regular days off. But there’s a limit. How much is too much? At what point does it go from casual and social drinking to problematic and disturbing. Anyone that wears a badge knows what goes on in the world. From dealing with decay of society to working odd hours, there are more than enough reasons to grab a beer after a tour of duty. Sometimes that does go too far. If the only way you cope with a stressful day is to drink alcohol and it’s affecting the people you love most, you may need help. I boasted to a couple of officers in our department about how I landed an interview with a rock star, founding drummer of Five Finger Death Punch Jeremy Spencer. I told them that the focus of the interview was his rehab stints due to his drug and alcohol addiction. They each responded with, “oh yeah, I went to rehab too.” It was a sobering moment and a stark reminder of the seriousness of this issue. -
Pro-Police Jeremy Spencer of Five Finger Death Punch Opens up To
THIS ARTICLE WAS PUBLISHED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT TODAY JULY 2020 Pro-police Jeremy Spencer of Five Finger Death Punch opens up to LET about his struggle with addiction Posted by: LET Guest|July 26, 2020 |CategoriesEditorial, Featured, The Wounded Blue Jeremy Spencer- Reserve Police Officer and founding drummer of Five Finger Death Punch talks to LET about his struggle with addiction and recovery, a true story of redemption For every law enforcement officer that doesn’t have a drink on his or her day off, there are about 99 that do. Although I made those figures up, I believe it. In the 15 years I have been in law enforcement, I don’t ever recall meeting a LEO that doesn’t occasionally have a few drinks. I merely assume that over the years I must’ve met at least a handful of cops that never have a drink. I’m 42 years old, and now I know several cops that don’t drink…anymore. Those cop friends of mine battled alcoholism and it nearly destroyed them. The pattern should sound very familiar to you: After you graduate the academy you start dealing with criminals, have a few drinks to unwind, stress mounts up, and repeat. This was all before today’s volatile climate of anti-police sentiment sweeping the nation. Just donning the uniform today will get you hateful glances and menacing stares. Who wouldn’t want a drink after a tour of duty right now? And that is a common scenario for us. In an extremely rare and incredible story, Jeremy Spencer, founding drummer of the hit heavy metal rock band Five Finger Death Punch, now a reserve Police Officer for Rockport Police Department in Indiana, went through a similar drug and alcoholism addiction and recovery experience- just the extreme version. -

FEBRUAR 2020 AB MÄRZ 2021 IN DEN KINOS ZU ERLEBEN - DER TRAILER IST HIER ZU SEHEN ERSCHEINT AM FREITAG DEN 30. APRIL 2021 ALS PHYSISCHER & DIGITALER TONTRÄGER IN VERSCHIEDENEN FORMATEN VIA BMG MIT “THE GREEN MANALISHI (WITH THE TWO PRONGED CROWN)” erscheint nun der erste Track aus der Show. Der Song ist HIER zu sehen & hören und wird am 27.11.2020 als 12“ VINYL SINGLE im Rahmen der Black Friday Record Store Day 2020 Edition veröffentlicht. Am 25. Februar 2020 - nur kurz bevor der erste Covid19-Fall im Vereinigten Königreich entdeckt wurde und die sich immer weiter ausbreitende Pandemie den Stopp fast des gesamten gesellschaftlichen Lebens der modernen Welt nötig machte – fand im legendären London Palladium ein ganz besonderes Konzert statt, bei dem die Songs von Peter Green und der Originalbesetzung von Fleetwood Mac gefeiert wurden. Das Publikum dieser restlos ausverkauften Show sollte Zeuge eines einzigartigen Events werden, welches das bisher letzte Livekonzert überhaupt darstellt. Mit dem tragischen Tod von Peter Green im Juli 2020 bekommt die Show rückblickend eine weitere, ergreifende Bedeutung. Die Besetzung bestand aus einer wahren Allstar-Formation, die in dieser besonderen Nacht eine tiefe, und manchmal unvermutet kosmische Verbindung zu den Songs aufbaute. Diese Musik hatte ihr Leben verändert, sie dazu getrieben, selbst zu spielen und einen von ihnen zur Gründung seiner eigenen, berühmten Band inspiriert. -

And deserving or not, guitarists have a reputation for having less-than-perfect time. But it’s not as if perfect meter makes you a perfect rhythm player. There’s something else. Something elusive. A swing, a feel, or a groove—you know it when you hear it, or feel it. Each player on this list has “it,” regardless of genre, and if there’s one lesson all of these players espouse it’s never take rhythm for granted. Ever. Deciding who made the list was not easy, however. In fact, at times it seemed downright impossible. What was eventually agreed upon was Hey Jazz Guy, October that the players included had to have a visceral impact on the music via 2011 their rhythm chops. Good riffs alone weren’t enough. An artist’s influence The Bluesy Beauty of Bent was also factored in, as many players on this list single-handedly Unisons changed the course of music with their guitar and a groove.

Fleetwood Mac: Del Blues Anglès Al Soft Rock Americà
It's only rock & roll | Pep Saña | Actualitzat el 02/11/2016 a les 06:00 Fleetwood Mac: Del Blues Anglès al Soft Rock Americà Fleetwood Mac es va formar al 1967 al voltant del talentós guitarrista de blues Peter Green, que s'acabava de destacar com a substitut d'Eric Clapton a la banda de John Mayall, The Bluesbreakers. La història de Fleetwood Mac és llarga, tortuosa i una mica desconcertant. En menys d'una dècada, va passar de ser una admirada i respectada banda del blues anglès dels 60, a ser un referent del soft rock (també anomenat AOR, abreviació de l'anglès, Adult Oriented Rock) californià, gènere que els va transformar en mega estrelles i en un dels majors èxits comercials de la història. Els constants canvis de formació que va patir la banda durant uns anys expliquen, en part, la radical transformació musical de Fleetwood Mac. Pocs grups a la història del rock han patit tants canvis de formació, estilístics, musicals i geogràfics com els camaleònics Fleetwood Mac, han sobreviscut a 15 formacions diferents en gairebé 50 anys de trajectòria. La deserció de la banda dels dos grans guitarristes de blues, Peter Green i Jeremy Spencer, fundadors del grup al costat de Mick Fleetwood i John McVie, va posar a la banda en una difícil decisió, acabar amb el projecte o explorar noves influències creatives. L'etapa blues. Els orígens de Fleetwood Mac es remunten fins al llegendari bluesman John Mayall i la seva famosa banda Bluesbreakers. John McVie (baix) va ser un dels membres principals dels Bluesbreakers, fundant el grup al 1963. -

A Study of Blues And
“YOUNG FASHIONED WAYS”: A STUDY OF BLUES AND AUTHENTICITY IN THREE TRANSATLANTIC STUDIO COLLABORATIONS _______________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of San Diego State University _______________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Music _______________ by Conor M. Jamison Fall 2013 iii Copyright © 2013 by Conor M. Jamison All Rights Reserved iv ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS “Young Fashioned Ways”: A Study of Blues and Authenticity in Three Transatlantic Studio Collaborations by Conor M. Jamison Master of Arts in Music San Diego State University, 2013 During the late 1960s and early 1970s, it was popular for blues artists—both British and American—to travel across the Atlantic to record with their fellow musicians. Three albums resulted from these collaborative exchanges which have been popular among fans, but also matters of controversy among blues purists: The London Muddy Waters Sessions, The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions, and Fleetwood Mac: Blues Jam in Chicago. Some feel that the American masters did not play to their own potential, and the white, British sidemen sound weak in comparison with their black, American counterparts. These reflections call into question the ability of the British musicians to achieve authentic blues, as well as the ability of the American players to remain authentic in a collaborative environment. In 2002, musicologist, Allan Moore published his article “Authenticity as Authentication,” wherein, he outlined a tripartite typology that can be uses as a basis for evaluating musical performances in terms of the perception of authenticity by those experiencing it. Moore's typology classifies the factors of authenticity into “first-, second-, and third-person.” Or “authenticity of: 'expression,' 'experience,' and 'execution'”. -
