Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood has opened up about some of the stories of the band’s earlier years, including one which saw the sticksman placing a ‘massive dildo’ on top of his bass drum – so the band stood out more during their first live shows.
The band are a huge name now and are the artists behind the eighth highest-selling album of all time, ‘Rumours’. But, back in the 60s when the band were just starting off, they had to go to some desperate measures in order to get people to notice them – including offending an audience at a Christian college with their ‘massive black cock’!
“We wanted to stand out from all the other Englishmen playing traditional blues, so we never held back” he told Playboy. “I used to play with a massive dildo stuck to the top of my bass drum so the thing would wiggle front and centre through the entire set.
“We used to cover Elvis [Presley], and for John's number he'd pull his bass up high and put that thing through his zipper. He'd be there doing Elvis' hubba-hubba routine with this massive black cock hanging out of his trousers. That little gag almost got us killed by the sheriff's department when we played some Christian college in Texas!”
Fleetwood Mac last toured in 2009, and although Mick would like to get back on the road with the band again, he’s admitted that he think it’s unlikely that the members would have the time.
