While it is good that Neil Young and Crazy Horse are releasing a new album, how is "God Save The Queen" an American Folk Song.

And could he not have picked something else instead of "She'll be Coming Round the Mountain". Sure every man and his dog knows that, and its not as if there's a lack of songs on the Great American Songbook

More lazy, disposable s***e from Neil that will doubtless be heralded as a "return to form", only to ultimately sit gathering dust at the back of everyone's CD collection while they continue to wait for the next volume of Archives to come out.

Noel Gallagher has a song called Broken Arrow on his new album and Neil Young has a song called High Flyin' Bird, Broken Arrow is Neil's ranch where he lives and High Flying Bird is Noel's band.. are they writing odes to each other? bit of a coincidence that two musicians who respect each other for this to happen.

Hopefully we'll be seeing Neil soon on these shores.

I was just gonna say those are very strange new song titles from Neil, til I realised they're all covers! Not sure how I feel about this. Most of his stuff since Mirrorball (1995) isn't great tbh, with the exception of Le Noise.

Rothko

Even though they're all covers, I'm still looking forward to it. I don't expect it to be fantastic but Neil is still putting out good albums even at this stage of his career. It's also been too long since we've heard him play with Crazy Horse.

Great stuff- Neil Young will have a unique slant on all these tracks. I cannot wait to hear this.

I nearly shot me load when i first saw mention of a new Neil & The Horse album on Facebook awhile ago.....then i see what it is....oh.....oh ****,i love Neil but im not feeling confident about this at all,still though seeing him live again would be class,he was incredible in the 02 in 09,one of the best gigs ive been to


And for the record i think "Praire Wind" is his last good album,"Le Nosie" was dreadful,no idea how it got so many good reviews......and need i even mention *shudders* "Fork In The Road"??

Chrome Dream II had some good moments on it, No Hidden Path was particularly good even though it clocked in at 14 mins long, I think the version he played in Malahide was closer to 25 mins

Was I on my own liking the 'living with war' album? Some of the songs on it were class- 'After the garden' and 'lets impeach the President'. Proper protest music IMO. Then he tours it including the American deep south!!!

"No Hidden Path" is one of my favourite Neil songs,i love it(gonna put it on later actually)but the rest of the album ranged from not bad to fairly crap imo


I saw him do "No Hidden Path" in Cork the night before or after the time you saw him.....sweet Jesus it was fantastic,id always wanted to see Neil do a ridiculously long song live and i got it! a lot of the casual fans had their jaws on the floor "wtf??":eek: they thought of Neil as the folky guy of "Heart Of Gold"(which he played that night too)and had no idea of the other electric side of him,seeing their faces as Neil went on and on...and on was comical,quite a few complaints on the radio the next day!


As far as "Living With War" goes the preachy message really put me off,the music seemed to be alright but the lyrics were awful "War is bad","Bush is an asshole" etc.....gee Neil,we had no idea! i cant stand anti war songs,theyre always patronising pieces of crap(except for Dylans early stuff which is light years ahead of anyone elses)


Despite all that im still a huge fan,i could listen to him giving it loads on the electric guitar till the comes come home,no one does it like him

Woah, that evidence is watertight. I'm surprised none of Neil's biographers have picked up on this. But why are they keeping their friendship secret? Unless they're more than just friends? It would explain the odes...

This thread has made me dig out some Neil,had "Live At The Filmore" on a while ago(definitive versions of "Cowgirl.." and "Down By.." on that album imo,both are incredible)


"Mirrorball" now,very underrated album me thinks,rocks like a bastard
