LAGinz Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 Gotta love Neil. One of my favorite musical spots of this crazy year was him singing Old Man and Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere to a bunch of live chickens, as part of virtual Farm Aid. 3
Zo Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 Neil is why Beck exists today His drums sound is a so superb , i hate room , orverhead and all that crap stuff that disturbs and take off drum play subtilies ... ( depends of style of course ...) 2
telecode 101 Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 Sorry, I am Canadian, and I never was able to get into any of his records. I just don't dig any of it in any of the eras .. I tried the folk rock 70s stuff, the later phase, the Crazy Horse.. can't get into any of it. I just fail to see why he's so big. I am a huge Dylan fan (all his phases) and also big David Crosby fan. I guess different strokes for different folks. 1
telecode 101 Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/dec/11/going-for-a-song-why-music-legends-are-lining-up-to-sell-their-rights ^^ I wonder if the Neil Young and co. are doing it to try to generate a higher sale in 2021/22? The free access will most probably increase internet traffic to the site and they could use that to ask for more money claiming they are more popular than they have ever been. ?

And his guitar solo on Cinnamon Girl was voted the worst solo in Rock n Roll history. But his songs are good and accessible. 1

And his guitar solo on Cinnamon Girl was voted the worst solo in Rock n Roll history. But his songs are good and accessible. As a guitar player.. I think his approach to lead playing is very cool and modern when compared to other late 60s/70s artists of his generation (apart from Jeff Beck I guess). I really liked the squealy Crazy Horse solo's stuff in the 90s. I don't know. I guess the songs are good. I think the issue is his vocal delivery. It's an acquired taste. I am from that generation that were all sort of coming into adult hood just pre the grunge era and before his big re-emergence with the This Notes for You and the Harvest releases. In the 80s Neil Young was a bit of a hippie has been and everyone made fun of him for sounding like a cat when singing. @ 0:56 mins. ? (excerpt from the the poor mans Canadian live aid contributions -- ? I do admit , I kind of liked that Le Noise record. That was a pretty wild idea to release that in 2010s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Noise Edited December 12, 2020 by telecode 101

The site is a mess to navigate, but it's in there. You can stream for free. Have a look at the news section and see if you can get to it from there. Try downloading the app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shakey.nyarchives Edited December 13, 2020 by 53mph
