That's why my trusty 8-Track never lets me down. Click the button and jump to the middle of another song....

Never been a fan of Neil but at least he's got his own style of singing and playing. To me, he's one of those rare cats that I don't mind listening to (in small doses) but I can't stand to watch him perform or hear him rant about various topics (truth be told, I don't like any performer ranting about topics, shut up and sing). I do enjoy watching Jimmy Fallon impersonate Young, he nails his sound and style.

That's the sound!

What I like about Sirius/XM is the ability to change 'channels' to another fave with one touch. Thus being able to 86 any song/artist easily. That said, I don't mind an occasional Megadeth or Young song-just not an album's worth.

I was into Megadeth in the 80s/90s. Now not so much. Some of it is still good to listen to, but I don't usually seek it out.

I like Neil Young songs performed by others. Great songs; dislike the voice and attitude of the writer.

 

[PillO]

Wow. Taking a random shot at Neil today. Please go for a paddle and get your mind in a better place. As you will recall, I Love Neil!

You are free to like Neil. I don't. That is what makes the freedoms of western democracy great. As @GonePlaid says, twitchy zone.

 

[PillO]

yeah, what's up with all this smiling anyway?

Moving joy from playing to the face. Seems pointless right?

Neil Young and Bob Dylan - everybody should be able to a comedy impression of them...

Admitting to the fact I'm an "olde phart", I don't understand the jumping and dancing around playing droning 1/8th notes, acting like one's doing something. A) my knees won't allow it, 2), no room on our venue's
stages(assuming we actually have a stage), and III), I gotta stay in range of the mic I sing into.
At age 75.5+, I'd look totally ridiculous-er.

Lol..so when is jumping and dancing around best? when playing quarter notes? sixteenths?...

is it cause he ditched Canada? (Oh my!!)......

Yeah, but especially whole notes with a fermata.

 

[Bassmike62]

Awesome bassist! Loved his work with Jeff Beck...one of the few players that don't sound like a guitarist when playing bass imho

Youtube seems backorder in videos showing Ronnie playing bass, was secretly hoping to see him play a Thunderbird.
Found this though, definitely sounds like a bassist .




Hey Ronnie, play my Bird please !

Happy TT y'all.

The ultimate would have been Young and Dylan doing a parody of each other on stage with Joe Cocker as a back up. I would have paid good money to see that live.

Yeah, but especially whole notes with a fermata.

while playing O Sole Mío here....

I agree with the first part. Disagree with the second. How would you look any more ridiculous? You wouldn't.... Oh, your hat would likely fly off. Other than that I would be more impressed if you did it--if you were wearing a Hawaiian shirt....There's just not 4000 players who have done that yet.

Thunderbird Thursday...

Wellll, I did fall getting offa the stool I prop my fazaza on when my foot went to sleep. Added a whole new dimension to the act. "Ooh! Do it again!"
Uhh, no.
