FMD – Neil Young

22 Comments

So I saw Neil Young twice this past week. Tuesday’s show at the State was amazing, even with the dudebros hootin’ and hollerin’ at inappropriate times.

Interesting that I’m not really interested in seeing any other legacy acts live such as The Who or The Rolling Stones but Neil Young. Heck I was thinking of going to Winnipeg to see him there.

Drop your lists.

    1. I got to see him with CSN&Y once awhile back. The concert started off god-awful. They even stopped in the middle of about the third song, apologized, reset, then it was smooth sailing from there. A little solo Neil mixed in too, so I guess I can say I've also seen that.

  2. So this is probably as good a place as any to confess that I don't really like Neil Young.

    Now, don't get me wrong. I like his music. I just can't listen to his voice singing it. Sometimes interesting voices like that work for me (I was just mentioning to Philosofette last night that I've enjoyed Ezra Furman's voice, and he's got a more interesting voice too), and sometimes they don't. Mr. Young's just doesn't. I think I'd absolutely love him otherwise, but as it is, I often switch the station when he comes on.

      2. My college roommate (the one that was randomly assigned) played a lot of death metal, hardcore punk, and genres around there.
        Names I remember include Subhumans, Misfits (and Samhain), Black Flag (before Rollins ruined them), Elvis Hitler, Dayglo Abortions.
        I don't remember many of the death metal bands, but in my defense, it was hard to read the CDs (even the ones that weren't Japanese).
        There was one band that he played often and I actually liked, but I've forgotten their name. I seem to remember them being of Persian ancestry.

        Despite our personal disagreements, he could have landed a much less musically-tolerant roommate. Or one of those folks who played Dave Matthews or Barenaked Ladies all the time.

          1. My second year at the Alma Mater (returning from a year away) I got thrown together with a NoDak guy who had suddenly rejected his 70s hard rock roots and embraced punk, due to a man-crush he had developed with a floor mate his freshman year. I got subjected to regular, impassioned assertions that everything on FM radio was crap. Dude, c'mon.

    4. From his surftunes phase, among the poppiest things he's released:

    (Not quite as poppy as "Beat Your Baby", but it also doesn't feature the lyrics "Don't beat your baby, beat your baby, beat your baby; Don't beat your baby no more!")

      1. took a little bit for me too, but i dig the album. there's enough originality mixed in there with the CHVCHES/cults vibes that i can look past that.
