Stevie Nicks discusses Wild Heart - June 1983

[ChrissieBana]

Cute little one...

[Payneramic]

shes definitely on coke here.

[nattybking]

She was with it enough to correct her own pronunciation of the word "wilder", when we we all get past the drugs thing!? She did drugs? yes, did it make a difference to the quality of the musical and visual gifts she gave to us? No!

Give it a rest!

Peace x

[cincimoney]

and by the way i think she looks hot in this interview. she actually reminds me of my ex-girlfriend here. looks alot like her. but what happened to the rest of the interview?

[cincimoney]

who cares? it was 1983 everyone in the entertainment business was doing drugs like cocaine or whatnot. stevie just had the balls to come out and admit she did them years later. give her some damn credit especially since she told people "i made those mistakes so since that happened to me dont you do them too".

[NicksandSlick]

Gawd, 126 commments about whether she was ripped or not, who gives a shit, she was a rock star in the 70s and 80s, of course she was going to use drugs.

I cant believe the fascination with Stevie Nicks' coke habit. What about her fantastic songs, performances and records? Bless her wild heart.

[kierramorganlawrence]

I can't tell she's on anything at all.. Guess it takes one to know one. I think she looks perfect and makes perfect sense.

[atomicplayboy4u]

This is the sexist looking stevie ! :)

[atomicplayboy4u]

Takling in a 3rd person ?

[jukodebu]

@atomicplayboy4u that drives me nuts

[98michellesanders]

I think Mark Goodman is really wanting her pretty badly!! LOL

[jkmartin1984]

'Once an addict, always an addict' is an outdated cliche that people for some reason like that latch onto. Addicts overcome their addictions every day.

[98michellesanders]

Yes cocaine is a rush and Stevie must have done a lot for this interview - she keeps moving side to side back and forth - wow - she has a whole lotta energy!!

[LillyOaks]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[skyroe2]

COCAINE IS A HELL OF A DRUG

[gothos1000]

@skyroe2 That's funny..today at work i was thinking about Rick James saying that in Dave Chappelle's video..

[joeblackakareaper]

Dumb as a rock and high as a kite , but man can she sing . TheReaper!

[lilwing80]

@joeblackakareaper Hardly dumb. Don't let her fool you.

[SuperSparky2012]

Stevie is a true Gemini,she always keeps her mind wide open :)

[steventhevirgin39]

I AM A VIRGIN

[KyHazard]

Every post about Stevie has to mention drugs. I know once an addict, always an addict. However, her talent outshines her addictions.

[LuvMadonna626]

@KyHazard LOL not at all, she's clean as a whistle now and it shows

[antonioooooooh]

omg im so glad shes not doing drugs anymore she was so fd up here

[Hunkola]

She's hot --- but high as a kite on coke!

[macksfischer]

"she's wilder......she's wild", omg I'm sure Stevie cringes if she ever looks are these old clips! Still....a rocker's life....I'd expect nothing less from her. She's fabulous!

[IsabelLovesTruth]

I Love this video because it shows just how human she is and look at her now!!!:))) She lived an awesome life, sooooo imperfect and came through so wonderfully and shares it all with us. No better Gift than that!! I Love, Love, Love!!!!!! her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mondoshrimpo]

stevie nicks is not a witch,,she herself has said so,,her lyrics,imagery and clothing suggest otherwise but spiritually she is not a witch,,witchcraft is a structured belief system of worship and magick...her spirituality is probably closer to that of the native americans ,she has a love for nature and the desert

[capebee]

Gorgeously stoned. Love ya', Stevie.

[twhclh19631968]

now and then, she is a self-proclaimed witch;

[sprtn007]

She had a line or two just before going on camera. I would give anything to have been in her shoes back then just for a year or so.

[deedeesnicks]

For the record stevie told her doctor that she needed to finish the rest of the RAL tour and when its was over ,if she didnt die from brain hemorage she would go to rehab this is stevie words 1986

[weirdowaldo]

@deedeesnicks Definitely true!! She's very candid about her past drug use and she wryly told this story on the Chris Issak special.

[2attached]

@deedeesnicks Yep, I remember that. She said her doctor told her she would start bleeding in her brain and when she did Red Rocks, she was saying goodbye to her fans because she thought she was going to die. You can especially hear that message from RR Beauty & the Beast.

[sandrapoet]

it's wild baby, it's wild, wilder wow wild

[WhatSayestThou]

Real deep.

[Nightbird8147]

Wild Heart Album is awesome!

[Gregsynth]

Haha wow! She's totally coked out (swaying, rambling, stuttering, big eyes, etc)!

But I love it!

[Phoebus16]

Why can't she stand still??

[NikitaMEO]

love you Stevie! God bless your Wild Heart xxx

[evrgrnn5280]

she is so hot in this interview

[imachildofthe80s8089]

@evrgrnn5280 1960's hippie black dress and the cross she wears around her neck. Pretty hair. But she seems frazzled.

[thebrainsbehind]

waaaaasssted! bless!

[blindnarcissus]

i like her better this way. trashed.

[stever222a]

shes so cute, but i have to admit she does seem to dress like some kind of witch.

[adogcalledjonnyblaze]

@stever222a thats renassaince, man..

have you seen Blackmore's Night?

I think Stevie looks GOOD

[ravenharlow]

She looks so gothic here. Love the way she looks :P

[Stevienickssss]

she was doing a photo shoot

[edurtsnah]

When did she last snort cocaine? I think she has done it at least fivwe times in the 2000`s.

[kcgirlgeek]

edurtsnah: Boop....wrong answer. The last time she used coke was during the Red Rocks concert of 1983. That was also the year she went to Betty Ford to kick it. Then later she returned to kick an addiction to Klonopin, which was prescribed to her by her doctors to, ironically, keep her off coke. Instead...it enslaved her and caused her to gain a terrific amount of weight. Since THAT run in Betty Ford for the Klonopin, she's now a much healthier (and also thinner) beautiful Stevie at 61. :)

[silvasprings]

Actually, she kicked coke in 1986! = ]

Then she got addicted to the prescribed klonopin... and detoxed from it in 1993.

[JRiggz108999]

i've detoxed from opiates many times, and it sucks, but nothing is harder than kicking klonopin, you can die from it, its the only detox you can die from

[2attached]

@JRiggz108999 Amen! I currently am detoxing from klonopin and had to be put on a low dose of Xanax in order to keep my sanity. What the hell are these doctors thinking? Take someone who is an addict from one drug and get her addicted to another. I feel for you, Stevie. Literally.

[StevieNicksfann]

@kcgirlgeek right it wasn't red rocks '83 but '86 when she detoxed from coke and then in '93 for Klonopin but it wasn't Betty Ford, it was another facility. :)

[standback]

uhhhh no. She got clean in 1986, but she's totally high here.

[imachildofthe80s8089]

@standback Oh yeah you can tell by the way she's rocking back and forth through Mark's interview that she's strangely apprehensive, nervous, and eager to get this interview over with(and high as a kite) she said so years later that it was amazing that she got by night after nights with touring, performing and recording, being fitted, made up and tons of interviews that a bunch of smack literally got her through(pt. 1)

[imachildofthe80s8089]

@standback (pt.2 ) She was finally achieving the success(taking her and Lindsay's career as well as the England mac's stars to new heights with going triple platinum selling that bands album, doing remarkably well as a solo album(and performing with other great "rock men") so her dreams of establishing herself as a bona fide singer were coming true but her own personal life was in shambles literally. She may not have even remembered a lot of these times til years later.

[fleetwoodmac621]

@standback no after that she started her addition to the tranquilizer Klonopin

[2attached]

@fleetwoodmac621 SHE didn't start her addiction to Klonopin, her doctor did. He was "afraid" she might slide back into using coke, so he wanted her tranquilized. I, myself, am on Klonopin, soon to get off, but I don't take nearly the amount she was taking. She said everytime she saw the dr., he would increase the mg. Mine never has but once.

[fleetwoodmac621]

@2attached She was taking it not her doctor

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

@standback .....Pupils like flying saucers.....what a fox, though

[jimmytwostones]

@edurtsnah What a retarded thing to say. Five times in the 2000's? You don't know coke. She would have gone at it five time an hour for years in the 2000's.

[moonflower0924]

The love of Stevie's life is music and singing.

[iloveyouh041708]

STEVIE LOVES LINDSEY ;

he may be married. but i have some interviews if you would like to see them.

HE LOVES HER . or he wouldnt just sit ther RIGHT NEXT TO HER and stevie say all those things WHILE STILL BEING MARRIED.

i love you stevie. deffinatly yuuuur biggest fan

[sundayshinddream]

are you serious? THe person she lost was her grandfather.

[bruho5]

i showed me dad this clip he said she's a fox i guess he liked her hair better cause ive showed him other pics she is a lil mess here and we love her for it.

[TakingCareofBiz]

Elvis Presley

[Knugabug]

This was intense peak time for Stevie's addiction to coke....she & Joe Walsh should have legally been dead by Summer's end of 1983. I met her in Colorado in '85 and she was a pale fragile mess.

[ancientqueen09]

i think that she got really bad in to coke when she was with him :(

but she has called him the love of her life.

I love Stevie regardless. :)

[atlantisb34]

Lindsey Buckingham is possibly still the love of her life... well thats what i think.. sad Love Lindsey

[tymbershade]

@atlantisb34 It's hard to say. I've heard that the love of her life is Joe Walsh.

[Wild1995]

I saw the Wild Heart tour in 1983. Her and Joe Walsh were a mess but they were young enough to get away with it. Stevie was still the hottest female rocker and selling millions of records. But if anyone saw the tour, it was the first tour where drugs started to affect her live performances. But she was a sex symbol and was on top of the charts, so it was not talked then.

[moonflower0924]

she puts her head down when she says "i lost somebody" aww.. stevie.

[MidnightCatQueen]

she looks so young.

[dododadadodo]

She looks really good. Man, they shove a mic in her face and expect her to be "on". And this was back in the days when rock stars were always fucked up. Ramble On she may but Stevie looks and sounds great here.

[dododadadodo]

OMG she's talking about losing her friend Robin. Rest In Peace, Robin.

: )

[clampandbush]

The experience is probably the death of her friend since age 15, Robin Anderson...:( She died in leukemia just before the Wild Heart...R.I.P Robin Anderson. And God Bless Stevie Nicks!

[forcedRcon]

Tweeker.

[Hunkola]

Man, is she coked-up in this interview....I'm surprised her nose didnt fall off she was doing so much blow.

[maubahia]

It´s called stuttering. She was just so nervous... No drugs at all!

[fmacfan]

the word great can also mean "large in size or measure"

[imachildofthe80s8089]

@fmacfan that's what I'm thinking she meant...and not an embarrassing public boo-boo she made under the influence of a powerful narcotic.

[ktotam123]

"...from a great experience I just had- I lost someone."  Bizarre interview. Funny.

[EdieMeU]

shes just fecking wild

shes so funny in this

everyone chill

shes doin aight now

[dennis329]

"she's wilder...she's wild"

[silvasprings]

haha... silly stevie =P

[pellebee]

shes totally coked out in this interview, but my question is where did the coke enter her body? (insert famous urban legend here)

[clampandbush]

yeah, it seems like she is on coke...it's sad to think about...I'm so glad that she has stopped now! God bless Stevie Nicks.

[Steviechain]

but is really on coke during this interwiew!!! I don't wanna see her on that way!!!

greetings from Roma

[suzannejersey]

thank God she's not on coke anymore. I was a little disappointed when i saw this interview. she's not very articulate is she? I hope she's more intelligent then this in real life.

[SNDQwhiterabbit]

BELIEVE ME! SHE IS!

[ktotam123]

Yes! She's so F-ing intelligent that she really should use her full potential and develop a cure for cancer!

[MirageCA28]

Im SO HAPPY Stevie had time to stop for an interview before going to the auditions for the Blair Witch Project movie!!!!

[downpeninsula]

pretty good one...

[zenhedonist]

...dancing aaaall through the interview...

[moonsista]

A little cokey, but good. I had never seen this. Thanks for sharing!

[johnnymargaret]

I wish this interview hadn't got cut off. I've never seen it before and I really love it.

[clampandbush]

Love Stevie!!!!! She is a real rock'n'roll woman!!!!

[litenogsot]

She has no idea what she's talking about, does she.

[petejt]

she was full of cocaine during that interview

[rivkah]

stevie puts me in the best mood!!

[MazSTi]

It's kind of hard not to mention cocaine or klonipin when 90% of her old footage she's either bouncing off the walls or in a stupor.

[petejt]

true. She does seem coked up in that interview.

actually, she has less makeup on in that interview. she looks much better without the pasty-face makeup she wore in the mid-1980s

[magikbymoonlight]

I LOVE Stevie!! But I did count and in 40 seconds the word wild was said 6 times. LOL, love Stevie and people can get all high and mighty that she was partying back then but it was fun and it was the 80's so lighten up.

[StarDancer2]

Well put. She's learned from her negative experiences, and that's really what it's all about. Go Stevie!

[imachildofthe80s8089]

@magikbymoonlight yes it was the norm back then. With 60's it was LSD and acid late 70's throughout mid-late 80's cocaine 90's crack. There was always something that people had to break out

[blindnarcissus]

c-o-k-e!!!!!!!!

[magikbymoonlight]

Love it, wish there was more footage from this interview.

[golddustangie]

HIGH or not, STEVIE ROCKS!!!!

[lilone2231992]

yeah theres not much of her on tv here in the us anymore either it sucks

[collegeri]

i wish there was more from this interview-i've never seen any footage from this era where she talks about her friends death. ...and forget the swaying-how many times can you say wild? Too funny-glad she is clean now-she did look really good here!

[TimelessBarbara]

I wish I had this on dvd, it is fabulous!

She looks awesome, I LOVE THE 80s Stevie!

Thank you!

[musicianyea]

love the outfit... ands she's high as a kite. Woo-hoo

[woahannablue]

She looks cute and fresh-faced with her hair brushed back like that. Coked out, but a cute coked out.

[mlarr]

Sorry, I just gotta say, for all of you who said 'nervous', serious, SHE'S FUCKIN' BAKED MATE, take it you've never been around people on coke?

[imachildofthe80s8089]

@mlarr oh yeah I could tell she had taken some powder briefly before the interview and I think that's why she's prancing around like a child that has to go to the bathroom(results of coke can make you extremely agitated and apprehensive) this old clips live to tell what Stevie's life was once like when her star rose but her life was being trashed.

[may3ct]

lmao ~ love this ~ it is very cute

[lilone2231992]

LOVE HER! XD shes so adorable lol

[Ihateu2btoo]

Okay...so I cant defend the obvious high haha...but she is clean now and just as beautiful and amazing!

[baboles83]

I love how she is constantly moving during the interview!

[trackaghost]

Coked to the hilt, she can't stand still. Love the outfit.

[noellemarie21]

she sways side to side like that even now when she's being interviewed if she's standing, and shes not doing cocaine anymore. its a nervous habit.

[mlarr]

Yeah......maybe the moving from side to side is a habit left over from taking to much coke?... I still grind my teeth from time to time and I don't take coke anymore it's just habit from where it was part of ur life.

[imachildofthe80s8089]

@noellemarie21 I guess that's why she sang on there Stand back lol bad joke.

[Nightbird63]

she's wilder! what else do you need to know?

[noellemarie21]

lol! she's so adorably nervous

[Ostmus]

a new rare video. it's so nice to get to see this stuff. loving it

[Chris1345]

Yeah I had never seen this one.

[standback]

wow! awesome footage.
