fleetwood mac tusk

[lillllbit]

I guess going to band camp finally paid off for a bunch of them...

I can only imagine how cool that must have been!

[Boomdizzled]

so. believe it or not TUSK, almost broke up fleetwood mac before they made the song. the reason is, its about fleetwoods DONG. yes his garbage ahha. stevie nicks didnt wanna do a song about it. he also wanted a live instrumental band to record it. he first went to UCLA's (EWW) band, the band director said no, then he went to usc's band, and they obviously said yes. and really no joke, at like 2:30, you can hear fleetwood Moan and then tap a cowbell. (as if he beat off on a girls face. lol)

[Victor1970s]

What the hell does "Tusk" mean? Since 1979, I have know idea what the hell the Fleetwood Mac is singing about.

[RonnieEpe]

a tusk is more or less the same thing as a fang :) .... Big teeth

[hoponcop]

dont talk like that about srevie she don'i need a thing she be hot without tits

[Redblower]

have a look at the 1997 dance Live concert

[wildirishrose01]

It looked like they were having fun. It looked fun to do. Great drumming.

[pattersongrove]

is this on a dvd anywhere if so tell me where soi can buy it

[Marcus1050]

fantastic rythm and beat...

[thunderagent67]

if stevie had bigger tits,shed be soooo hot

[Jellysauce]

lmfao.

[KOSMICKEN09]

who cares she's still very sexy.

[TwoSet]

i agree 100%

[itssold16]

Thanks for posting. I love this song and seen them in conert in Milwaukee Summerfest in 1989....Fleetwood came out and played the drums on his chest..Awesome! I hope they never REALLY retire.

[evagelia67]

:tusk: an :dreams: my best from fleetwood mac!!

[ojc138138]

1:30 Love the cardboard cut-out of John McVie!

[youvebeenrolled]

Best drumming in a song EVER!!!

[xaenon]

Love watchin Stevie twirl the baton at 1:16 and 1:25.

[MellowLlamaa]

Is this video of how they recorded the song? Like were they out there to record it os is it jus the video?

[CallumInnz]

apparently its not the original music video. i cant find the real one. Ive been told its very boring with all the members just dancing around... not as cool as this one.

[TheSusanFairy]

(L)

[laytonwhoitis]

i didn't get to meet the 80's but the music is great i like that ooga aga ooga in tusk very good song

[Piratejenny25]

This song was made in the 70's not the 80's

[envecchosen]

I grew up listening to Fleetwood Mac like most children in the 80's this by far is one of there best song but the rumors album by far was there best work. and to the comment below me so easy a caveman could do it. Rock N, Roll

[hollyswansonU2B]

thank you - awesome trip down memory lane... 80s trojan :-)

[ojewel]

Its short but I love this song.

[neokev]

I don't care how famous they were by the time they did this...the first time they heard a full marching band play their music, you know they got chills...

[narpup]

best song 100/5

[sara31tx]

One of the best albums IMO...

[Ian7570]

Kickass vid, thanks.

[knoxoilngas]

Well, bearmare, that may all be true ... but USC is still the only marching band that I know of with a platinum album to its credit.

[bearmare]

I'm not even sure if this is even a song. As much as there are some good songs on Tusk (not that many, really) the album is amazingly mediocre. Worse, the album cost nearly a million $ to make and they were in production for over a year on it. And Buckingham threw out all the songs on the first effort because he didn't like them. Not exactly one of Fleetwood Mac's better efforts.

[voidsack99]

we had to play this at a football game needless to say our drums sucked major ass and had to stop mid song... but rest of the band did well

[cochranexyz]

Still a damn good song after all these years.

[skippyguam]

Stevie Nicks was SO HOT!

[Eastlake44]

true dat

[Trixtah]

That is so camp, the marching band thing. Still, one of Fleetwood Mac's classic.

(And so good you got the whole clip up without it being censored!)

[krazynite]

One of my all time fav music clips this....so simple but so effective!!!

[MidAgeAllisonFan]

One of my all time favorite concert performances was on the Tusk tour in 1979 with Fleetwood Mac at the Forum in Inglewood, CA . The USC Marching Band filed in on risers behind the stage to help perform this song. What a Blast!

Dodger Stadium was used to record the song for the acoustics.

[AustraliaFare09]

Thanx for the info, i was about to ask who the marching band was. Cool vidio!

[MsLauraMac]

There is no skool like old skool! Love it!

[Katw76]

Thanks so much for posting this!!! This was my favorite song as a little girl, my mum said I used to try and copy Stevie Nicks and the marching girls:)) You've made my day!! xx

[Rimmrocker62]

Always Loved this video, the USC band was so cool and Loved Stevie with the BA TAWN!!!

[numberonesun]

my next daughter is going to be called stevie . x

[bubleta]

Why Dodger Stadium...Why not the Coliseum? Especially with the USC Marching Band. Seems kinda gay to be at a baseball stadium.

[nowdid]

This video needed a director.

[natlvedave50]

fight on usc!

[04x20]

fucking the sexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxx

[khamsin59]

Stevie marching and twirling the baton is one of my favorite highlites from this

[taylorjanegroth]

DON'T SAY THAT YOU LOVE ME

[loonmaniac]

Killer bass line in this. Check out Christine's perpetually full wine glass!

[Boanerges2000]

Love the Mac!

[swampmarshy]

FANTASTIC, really brings back the memories. I just love those drums.

[lostinmn68]

The original drum line

[maryandthemoon]

[moparrules1968]

ONLY Fleetwood Mac could pull off this CLASSIC!!!!!!

[Nacho66]

I'm going to buy this record tomorrow.

There isn't anything to 'get' - it's just brilliant.

[zero0trooper]

Nice helmets!

[seapinesglow]

jaycee5545 McVie wasn't in Tahiti but St. Thomas U.S.V.I.'s a friend of mine had a place there during that period and would run into McVie from time to time.

[seapinesglow]

Infera06 you area complete idiot and no nothing about great music. tusk is a pop masterpeice.

[infinera06]

This is the shittiest FM song ever! And they actually named a double album after it., which also was pretty shitty as well.

[limebank2006]

well yes but a piss artist. ruined it

[WizKid1996]

ur a piss artist

[daimokulover]

i honestly think Tusk was their poetic way of saying ... boner. haha. "Just say that you want me" .. Mmmhmmm. For realz.

[jaycee5545]

An awesome song and an awesome video. I love John McVie in this! lol!

About the video... has there ever been another video like this by Fleetwood Mac? (i.e. a montage of seemingly random camera work of the band?) Or anyone in particular at all?

[toddness]

John McVie was the cardboard cut out, correct?

[jaycee5545]

Indeed. He was in Tahiti during the video recording.

[annelise81]

what does it mean when they say "tusk"? why is this related to cheating?

[terrabletim]

Rat Terriers and owners are sissies!

TUSK!

[padude64]

Me and rico might just kick ass to this great tune!

[padude64]

Michigan Band kicks ass!

[Beebop008]

That wasn't Michigan (although they were really good). It was USC.

[BeatlesChick1972]

How beautiful is Stevie Nicks here?? Gorgeous!!

[gwaring]

Stevie could not be cuter.

[Sixgun51]

Who knew Stevie was a Twirler....go figure.....

[stingpower]

This song is brilliant. And it's made even more badass by adding the usc marching band. So good.

[kupaval]

[Garnettoi71]

[circe98]

[circe98]

[soluna2009]

This is such a Classic!

[soulshaker205]

I absolutely love this!

[spsc1]

The song is about a cheater!! They used the Trojan band to record the song. How young are you guys anyway! This was a huge hit for Fleetwood Mac & one of my personal favorites.

[MsShootist]

hey lindsey is a cheater, fucker

[LaeshaStevia]

[soulshaker205]

Hell Yea!

[MellowLlamaa]

[gaehm2009]

i like this song

[wajimya]

awesome song. I might live in Orygun but I love watching USC beat them Orygun Ducks.

[muzicrox9]

you live in oregon,but you cant spell it?

[sundayshinddream]

last comment was fiance.here is my comment.what does this have to do with Fleetwood Mac?if u r studying the world..black people have not been the only slaves of the world..in fact 2 this day serfs exist.what are you doing to help them?  Also, there is little difference from the minimum wage rent paying worker n slave. My southern white gpa pick cotton.You are kiddin urself if u feel this is a "black: thing u r limiting urself to history of America and not looking at the BIG PICtuRE

[oceansdoor]

I love this song! Just make me want to jump up and start dancing wildly like Gomer Pyle man!

[ramoneschick1]

I used to love this video as a little girl, my dad was a huge fan of fleetwood mac and always used to play this song to me when i was a kid, i love this song!

[rolypolypanda]

Wow. Just wow.

[reelhausmuzik]

I'm guessing they didn't have schools in those days either, you stupid racist fu*k!

[chalmacu]

hey iceeoadfan not all black people or dark colourd skin people are the type that start fights like u think sometimes it's white people and u can't put the blame on just one caulture it's very fucking rasist

[iceroadfan]

chal,

I know that not all people of color are commiting crimes and I know there are white criminals out there. I'm not trying to paint some we're perfect and others are not picture. Nobody is perfect.

I would just rather live around, work with and socialize with other whites in our own well-defined areas. I respect the same type of self-determination for other races as well.

What I seek to resist is forcing people to live in a way they don't want to live.

[hd666]

well said man they dont see the world as we do they need to get out more see the world as we see it many of them dont know what gos on in there own backyard

[RobertBruceBanner]

I don't like seeing the negroids in this video.

[MsShootist]

do you meen black people!? asshole?

[jonth0]

ok kind sir, keep in mind that it is u whites, who brought us here, talkin about takin us out of the jungle. if u read ur history u will see that africa, that is blak ppl were refining gold, and educating there own while whites were still living in caves and swinging from trees. in other words, u didn't take us out of the jungle, u put us in one. get it str8 massa.

[sentinel488]

They were also selling their own people into bondage at the same time. don't forget that there are 2 sides to the same coin. every race creed and culture out there is guilty of of enslaving another group of people.

[jonth0]

it is true that they were selling their own people into slavery, but wat u have to understand is that slavery existed in Africa long before the trans atlantic slave trade. the thing is though this kind of slavery was very different in comparison to wat was experienced in the caribbean. in there system of slavery there was no active attempt to dehumanize people, in fact slaves could actually rise in their social standing.

[sundayshinddream]

They? who? upper class, tribesman who were the sons of chiefs? if we don't get the fine guys outta here, they will take our pussy?

that mentality?

jesus

[jonth0]

ur not gettin it, wen it was found out wat exactly was goin on over here in the west, then there was growing resistance, on the parts of those who engaged in the trade.

[moondog999]

he's got you there, sentinel.

the slavery the us and british subjected the blacks to is the worst form you can get (on a large scale at least).

look up the "dan carlin hardcore history" podcast about slavery ;-)

btw, who have the irish enslaved?

[BradCarter1888]

What the English did to the Scotich nd the Irish was pretty bad or did you not see Brave Heart. What the Romans did to just about the entire world was real bad. What the Jewish people have suffered through the years is the worst any group of people have been treated. Remember Hitler.

[televisewhatyouwant]

Yeah, anything with Mel Gibson in it is true to the bone.

[topkev]

hey dont forget spielberg,he helped promote the plight of the jews

[televisewhatyouwant]

I was being sarcastic. I hate Mel Gibson. And as for spielberg, we already knew there was a holocaust, we didn't need him to make millions out of it, and turn the holocaust into a goddamned franchise!

[vazjam]

Er, sorry...did I miss something? How does this relate to Tusk?

[akytilop]

Look up the word slave in the dictionary and see its origin. Slave=Sclavus=Slav=Russian, Polish, Croatians, Serbian.

[wellsplaza]

Cool song and cool video - brings back memories of "phantom fumbles." F-USC.

[CLASSACHERRY]

Does anyone know what this video is taken from?

A documentary ?

[geewally77]

I'm pretty sure it was the video for MTV back in the old days.

[sirlanceal]

Tony Harrison from the Mighty Boosh mentioned this in series 3 in the Party episode

Yay!!

[Exoking]

It was also mentioned in series 1 by Naboo

[WesFX7]

I just saw it on the episode as well, but I'm not sure why he mentioned it...I figured it'd be a ridiculously long song. And it doesn't seem like it would be good for dancing to.

[sack2mann]

-FREIHEIT---

[gaywitches4aborshun]

Rich in memory...so many memories.

[sack2mann]

"tusk" --FREIHEIT---

[jache77]

what does the song "tusk" mean?!

[acdcrulez91]

USC huh?great...

[dartmouthhoop]

Stevie Nicks twirling her baton in this song/video is one of the signature moments of the late 1970's.

[pakyum1]

this song is epic

[muzac4themasses]

always liked the song but loved it even more when I was watching USC play some other football team and at half time the USC marching band played this and they marched to it and at the very end they spelled TUSK...and after a brief pause they changed it to TUSC!

Awesome!

[LFCliid]

15 step by Radiohead is similar to this. Might wabt to check it out if you've not heard it.

[DarkIndigo82]

Looove this song! video brings me back to those old high school marching band days :)

[liquidfreak]

Good Drums

[RooTBeeRthe1st]

its old school, and fleetwood mac is awesome

[pasy2006]

I;m the only one making a comment here, this osng is powerful:)
