My Take

John McVie is the quiet backbone I always find myself defending. Half of the name Fleetwood Mac comes from him, alongside Mick Fleetwood, yet the bass is the part nobody notices until it is gone. He came up with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers before joining Fleetwood Mac in 1967 and holding down the low end through all the band's chaos and lineup turmoil. I love a craftsman content to anchor a band for a lifetime without the spotlight. Keeping that foundation steady while the stars churned around him is its own kind of mastery, a genuine unsung legend.

Overview

John Graham McVie (; born 26 November 1945) is a British bass guitarist. He is best known as a member since 1967 of the band Fleetwood Mac, and prior to that, the rock band John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, from 1964 to 1967. His surname, combined with that of drummer Mick Fleetwood, was the source for the band's name "Fleetwood Mac".
