Thread 127326803

Hey Hey, My My (Out of the Blue) -- the heavy one -- is awful and unnecessary.

>>127326803 (OP)
Blue is the acoustic, Black is the gritty electric one that sounds like ass.

>>127326843
Oh fuck, you're right. I've had dementia plant and they're right next to each other on my playlist, sorry.

>>127326843
>Blue is the acoustic
correct. It's also, My My, Hey Hey rather than Hey Hey, My My

this guy sucked when he tried to do rock jams, and the band sounds barely competent from the heroin or whatever

>>127326803 (OP)
You suck and you probably only listen to music so that you can think of bait posts to write about it. Fuck off back to /b/ and never listen to music again.

>>127327242
He's way better electric than acoustic, dummy.

I THINK MEANDERING ELECTRIC GUITAR NEIL IS GREAT

youre nuts

lol kinda
i dont see the point of recording cover songs if youre not gonna do something interesting with it

>>127326803 (OP)
What the fuck are you talking about? It’s great.

When I saw Neil & Crazy Horse play I cried during that song.

>(Out of the Blue) -- the heavy one
Are you deaf?

>>127327697
Faded away, as far as I recall.

>>127326803 (OP)
this is trueness.
Neil rocking out with Crazy Horse was usually good, but he drank up the punk hype too much for the electric side of this album (besides Powderfinger).

worst thread on /mu/ atm (kpoop doesnt count)

It's literally the only one I haven't hidden, zoom zoom.

When's he going on Joe Rogan?

Neil was too much of a narcissist to have a skilled backing band

I am a huge Neil Young fan and I agree with this. It's different with Crazy Horse because I think they do have a great sound and are a rare instance where a band is actually enhanced by their limitations, but Neil does go out of his way to surround himself with mundane musicians. The albums of his that he's the least happy with are typically the ones with the best musicians on them, and even, his final assessment of his own projects is never based on the end result but his mood. When he did play with high class musicians, he would order them specifically not to play licks or fills if he could. The drummer on Harvest even said that he basically didn't play drums on that album, Neil did. If you play something interesting, he glares at you with a look that could peel paint off the walls. The dude has issues, but it is what it is.

>>127328746
He just found this album yesterday and listened to twenty seconds of a quarter of half the songs so that he could have some vague idea of what he's talking about.

>>127327689
It really is. Why are people so against jamming now?

I don't think starting to listening to his music is worth it now that it is 2025.
And it surprises me, many /mu/ teenagers were into his music, like it was not /mu/core, but there was some discussion every time a folk thread pop up.

How is that album ‘Grunge’ in any way? Because it has an electric guitar?

>>127331233
Into the Black is grunge, Welfare Mothers and Sedan Delivery are punk, and Powderfinger is just folk rock. Also Sedan Delivery and Powderfinger are both way better on Chrome Dreams.

I'll just leave this here.

The distortion sounds amazing on into the black. Pretty apparent how proto grunge it is. Still powder finger is the best album track and side 2 of on the beach is his masterpiece

>>127331065
I still don’t get why everyone focuses so much on Crazy Horse’s musical abilities as some defining trait. They’re not technical wizards but they’re hardly some sloppy teenage garage band either. They’re exactly the mix of primitive and complex that Neil wanted for his songs.

>side 2 of on the beach is his masterpiece
On the Beach and Motion Pictures are two of my favorites. I think this might be the first time i've seen anyone else even mention the album.

OP sucks.

Favourite Neil archival albums? I think pic rel is pretty nice and cozy

I don't get it

>>127333259
Everything is cheaper than it looks.

>>127332713
>side 2 of on the beach is his masterpiece
Is it one autist who keeps saying this or are tons of people actually copying each other by repeating this? I've seen this exact opinion being repeated online for fifteen years now. Those three songs are far from his masterpiece. I would almost consider Motion Pictures a weak track.

My my, hey hey
Neil Young is freaking gay

>>127335007
Hey hey, my my
Neil Young should catch AIDS and die

What was the deal with him and Sweet Home Alabama?

>>127333259
Just roll another number for the road.

>>127335848
Just bit of friendly banter innit. They were both fans of each other but the southern boys had to defend their honor.

>>127331065
Explain Crosby Stills Nash & Young?

>>127335951
I've always wondered if Neil really wrote Powderfinger for Skynyrd originally as some people have told me. Surprised nobody has tried to do an AI cover.

>>127333173
anyone truly into neil knows on the beach is his best. well, zuma is pretty good too.
but on the beach probably gets the nod because it's pretty good throughout and it's weird.

>>127336013
It wasn't a solo project so he had less authority over them, and he never stayed in that band for very long.

>>127333250
He really should have released this one instead of Are You Passionate.

>>127334995
Mirror Ball mogs.

>>127336365
That is such bullshit. I think it's the people who only like a few things he did who say On the Beach is his best. The fact that everyone says side two specifically proves that they're just saying something that they heard someone else said, because it's really not that good. It's good, but not that good. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere is probably his technical best record, although it's not my favorite. My personal favorite record of his is probably Time Fades Away. On the Beach is for people who read music journalism to form their opinions on everything. It's easily the most overrated album he's made.

>>127333259
Only a few tracks match how most people describe this record. It's really not a very dark record at all. It's an escapism record. Maybe there is a sadness in that alone, but this album is not what people describe it as. If you want something dark, listen to Time Fades Away. The bleakness on that album is palpable.

What's his most underrated album?

Is he still good live? His boomer diehards say yes but those are some of the last people I'd trust to be clear-minded about that.

>>127337100
seek help, bro.
no sane person has ever said time fades away (his purposely suck album) is his best.

>>127337128
>>127341174
even neil admits it sucks:

"Time Fades Away. No songs from this album are included here [his greatest hits triple album Decade, that literally included two or three songs from his other albums]. It was recorded on my biggest tour ever, 65 [sic] shows in 90 days. Money hassles among everyone concerned ruined this tour and record for me but I released it anyway so you folks could see what could happen if you lose it for a while."

>>127341206
I like it.
>Time Fades Away
>Don't Be Denied
>L.A.
>Last Dance

>>127341206
Neil said that his best album is either Tonight's the Night or Everybody's Rockin.'

>>127341398
They're just saying it's bad because I said it's good. If I hadn't said t was good other people would be saying it's good but I said it's good so they have to say it's bad.

>>127341174
This is the first thread where people didn't like Time Fades Away and it's because I said it's good. If I didn't say it was good then someone else would have said it's good and everyone would have agreed with them.

>>127341206
If you base your taste in music off of what Neil Young says then Everybody's Rockin' is now in your top two favorite Neil Young albums. Have fun saying it's one of his best albums now, since that is now your new opinion regardless of whether or not you actually like it.

>>127341206
Neil Young doesn't assess his albums based on their quality. His favorite albums of his are the ones he enjoyed making and the ones he dislikes are the ones he didn't enjoy making. So you basically have no taste in music and are basing it off of someone else's mood essentially.

If I don't say anything about Time Fades Away then everybody says it's great. If I say it's his best album then everyone says it's bad because Neil You doesn't like it. I can control what people say with what I said.

>>127341470
i like everybody's rockin.
better than time fades away at least.

time fades away apologists also need to explain why none of the songs were included on the triple greatest hits album, decade, which included multiple songs from almost every other n y album, including lots of obscure stuff.
'neil just fucks with journalists in interviews, that's why he dogs time fades away and hypes others'' doesn't explain why he and record company thought it wise not to include any dogshit song from that album on such an expensive and risky project. that's actual money on the line, which few fuck around about.
but anyway, i'll give that album another chance since it's being hyped by some so much, but i doubt i'll change my mind on it.

I caused you to say that by saying I like Time Fades Away lol. I could probably get you to eat shit if I said that eating shit is bad.

>>127342112
>time fades away apologists also need to explain why none of the songs were included on the triple greatest hits album
I already explained why. Neil Young hates that album because he didn't enjoy the process of making it. He judges his albums not by the end results but by the process. Everybody's Rockin' is one of the worst albums ever made and he considers it one of his best because he enjoyed making it.

>>127342331
he also supposedly hated harvest, but wisely always includes songs from it on his compilation albums because he knows the songs are good and catchy.

>>127336168
I doubt it. The earliest sketches of Powderfinger's lyrics go back to the early/mid 60's, Buffalo Springfield era. Maybe Skynyrd inspired him to finally put it out, but it dates back to some of his earliest songwriting days

>>127342628
He included songs from Harvest because it was his most successful album and excluding songs from it would have been too weird, as well as the fact that he never said he hated it. But you know all this and will say anything just so that you can argue with me.

Awful thread.

>now my name is on the line, how can people get so unkind
I played human highway on repeat today, just had to hear it again and again.
I like acoustic neil alot

the last 4 minutes of Like A Hurricane on that album blew my mind
