Lindsey Reacts: Never Going Back Again TikTok Covers – YouTube

He might not be recreating viral dances or making lip-sync videos, but Lindsey Buckingham is no social media na\u00eff.<\/p>\n

Having semi-broken the internet last week when he hinted that he might be collaborating with Stevie Nicks again<\/a>, he\u2019s now returned, alongside son Will, to cast his learned eye over some of the many TikTok covers of the Fleetwood Mac classic Never Going Back Again<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is, as Will points out, \u201ca very hard song to play,\u201d so perhaps Lindsey was fearing the worst when he agreed to do this. However, as he\u2019s shown Harmony Calata\u2019s cover, he\u2019s immediately bowled over.<\/p>\n

Asked by Will what he thinks, Buckingham senior replies: \u201cShe\u2019s doing a good job. I think she\u2019s doing better than I do. She’s singing it really well, too\u2026 she’s got the whole thing down beautifully.\u201d<\/p>\n

High praise indeed, and Buckingham also spots one particular detail that impresses him. \u201cOh wow\u2026 see, that\u2019s something I only do on stage,\u201d he says when he hears one particular guitar flourish. \u201cThat\u2019s not a part of the record.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, it\u2019s a \u201cperfect\u201d 10\/10 score for Harmony, and Lindsey is pretty impressed by Kade Wolff\u2019s effort, too. There\u2019s no singing on this one, but the playing is pretty on point, though Buckingham does have one comment to make on the instrument being used.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m not sure of the choice of guitar,\u201d he says. \u201cIt looks like a Dobo or something, which may not be as suited to the song, but that was lovely.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a 9\/10 for Kade, then \u2013 still a very respectable score \u2013 and Buckingham seems genuinely chuffed to see so many people playing a song that he recorded almost 40 years ago for Fleetwood Mac\u2019s 1997 album, Rumours.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m touched and encouraged that these people are caring enough to want to learn these things to begin with and that they’re articulating it so well,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Finally, we come to Adam Simons, who jokes on the caption for his TikTok that it\u2019s \u201cday 16375832 of trying to play this song correctly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe’s not as far along in the learning curve as the other two were,\u201d says Buckingham, diplomatically. \u201cThat’s fair enough. That doesn’t mean he\u2019s not going to get it because he obviously had the first part down very well.\u201d<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s that, other than a final thank you to the TikTok community \u201cfor caring enough\u201d to take Never Going Back Again to their hearts.<\/p>\n

Will we ever see Lindsey Buckingham playing it on stage with Fleetwood Mac again, though? Time will tell.<\/p>\n
