404 on link. OH NO WE COULDN'T FIND THE PAGE

Not anymore.

404 for me. Lol

Thanks for being, Neil ✌️

Neil who? Armstrong? Neil Diamond??

That's true. Omg

Without talent.

Planet's gone to the dogs

... ha! Right?? 😀 👍

Fcuk the system!

Yep. Weird that MTV banned that video and then won the 1989 MTV Video Award for "Best Video of the Year".

Neil Young Born To Rock.

Very nice work. This is the only time in my life where I have wished that my face was a swing seat.

My 1st concert - I was 11, my brother Monte was 15, our friend Randy was 18 - He drove - Saturday November 29,1969 - We saw Santana open the show for CSN&Y at the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix, Arizona - We paid $3.50 for the nosebleed seats but we walked down and were leaning against the stage

Row, you are a legend because you were part of this legendary video. MTV originally wouldn't show it, then it later won MTV's "Video of the Year"!

Bet you don't look like that now 😂😂

He almost lost it during his tenure on Geffen Records, in particular his two 1983 albums Trans and Everybody's Rockin', which were both cited as being "unrepresentative music." Although Geffen filed a $3.3 million suit against Young over these two albums, Young then shot back with a $21 million countersuit, insisting that he was promised free creative control; the two parties settled out of court in 1985 in favor of Young, who then released Old Ways. As released, Young described that country 'n western album in interviews as "Old Ways II" because he wanted to release the album in '83 as a country album, but that Geffen wanted it to sound more mainstream (hence Everybody's Rockin').

Young sold his music to BlackRock and shills for Big Pharma. He never had an identity to begin with.

he's a putz.

@@mygoogleemail2063 Never heard of you. Never heard any of your songs. You must not be any good.

@@mygoogleemail2063 why because he doesn’t believe in the same crap you believe in?

Oh never mind I'm back now 😂😂😂😂

@@DaSaunaMan spotify still sucks.

Where can I find more music like it. Don’t say kenny g 😂

That IS a wonderful solo--for a long time, I wondered what song it came from. Then I heard "Bad News Comes to Town" on the "Bluenote Cafe" CD, and that exact solo really lifts that song!

Good one.

Born To Rock.

Well played my friend. Keep it real AF!

Good luck trying to cancel Rogan there bud

This feels like something that would come on TV around midnight, when I'm lying on the couch half asleep with the lights off, while the rest of the family has already gone to bed. Super cozy.

@@exerciserelax8719 Ha yeah it does

The opening of the video, in particular, parodies a commercial Eric Clapton did for (I think it was) Michelob beer. Clapton had recorded a new version of "After Midnight" for his boxset that was coming out that year, and it was the soundtrack for the ad. This video parodies it perfectly. To me, Neil will always have my respect for how he managed to piss off David Geffen.

The saxophone player on this song is Steve Lawrence. He was one of three horn players that formed a tight-knit group, with the other two being Kenny Walther on trombone and Tom Bray on trumpet. They used to play in a band with my husband. All three guys were down to earth and just as nice as they were talented. Unfortunately, Steve passed away in 1992 and Kenny in 1999. Tom is still around and still playing trumpet as a solo act.

So you must be a member of the Weird Al fan club then....neato

@@Oh_I_Will Better be a fan of Weird Al too!

I'm not sure if I would classify this as parody as much as sarcasm and a shot at big business. Anything like that is definitely in the Neil Young vein.

Yes Rick the bass player as Joe Walsh always called him

Then why did he sell his catalogue?

He just sold out to big pharma. Douche bag. He’s singing for them now.

Ah how this didn’t age well 😂

Time for an update. Plus-I would love to see the forensic accounting Farm Aid.

@@SoccerDad-gu5em One side is business. He's allowed. [Soccer is for girls]

That doesn't make any sense because Neil Young was pretty much alone in this in the 80s as all the biggest stars in the era were doing ads or had ad sponsored tours. Selling out hasn't been a thing since the 60s except in more niche genre circles like Punk, Grunge, Emo, Etc.

@@rickyhunt4075 Easy Mister eye of the tiger! He has a point. Neil was an independent guy. Rob is not that far off the mark.

@@aburden8580 I agree about Neil but he's wrong about applying it to an entire generation whereas it was only a select few like Neil who believed so strongly in authenticity and letting their music stand on its own merits. People like Neil were always the exception there was no golden time where the majority of artists wouldn't sell out.

@@rickyhunt4075 Everyone has a price. And if they live long enough they will contradict themself or morph into something unrecognizable. He is Canadian but lives forever in US. He gets a new wife. He had a giant house in Hawaii on sale for over 10 million US. He's a rockstar! As for memory, it's a tricky thing. I accept Rob is trying to say that there were rules or there was time when things were simple. Don't kill the Mafia guy in front of family and so on. Now (skip last 2 years) it is pick a pronoun, 'body positivity' means celebrate morbidly obese. Now, it's spray an extended magazine in a general direction, maybe shooting your enemy, when a punch or two years ago sorted it. Sperm count-down. Plastic in the fish in the ocean. Just ask Bruce Jenner. Cheers.

@@aburden8580 He has lived for years in the US and became an American Citizen a few years back don't see a contradiction there lots of people move to America and still love their homeland. To my knowledge Neil hasn't done commercials or anything like that So I'm not saying he has ever sold out or anything just pointing out he was a rarity. As for the Body positivity or Obese debate it's interesting because they're people who are obese yet are in Great shape and don't have many health issues look at sports I mean there's tons of obese guys who are great athletes NFL has plenty of Linemen, Boxing and MMA have had Champions that were fat and samd goes for Rugby and Obviously Sumo. That debate is a lot more complex than it seems. The Jenner thing was ridiculous I mean if you're going to come out as Trans and push for more acceptance of the Trans community maybe you shouldn't back politicians who are hostile to them that was a dumb decision. There needs to be some sort of middle ground reached there. People are full of contradictions it's a part of human nature life itself is a bit of a contradiction. There have been musicians that haven't sold out from every generation but they're always the exception not the rule. It's also far easier to refuse to take money for an endorsement or something if you already have plenty of money. Neil is from a time when people had to buy music which meant record labels and artists made a lot of money therefore labels often let the artists have more creative freedom and there was less incentive to do commericals, endorsements, etc. I remember a few years ago Neil said something like he didn't have a issue with people downloading music online and not paying for it and the band Cracker criticized him because he made all his money back then and didn't have to stuggle to pay the bills because of the huge losses of revenue for labels and artists because of piracy. It's easier to stand by your principles when you are rich and successful.

Not even close, but I do like his sound. But technically he was not that great

@@theherbpuffer Name 1 other musician who's done more than Neil.

@@artvallejos1460 guitar-wise hendrix, Clapton, Rory Gallagher, Peter Green, SRV, Duane Allman, Frank Zappa, chet Atkins, Buddy guy and that's just the top of my head.

@@theherbpuffer I asked for 1 musician and none of these are more accomplished than Neil. Compare Neil's body of work to anyone else and no one comes close.

@@artvallejos1460 the comment is literally about him as a guitarist, everything else aside.... as far as overall musician, I can't really argue there ....however, one could make an argument with Bob Dylan or Tom Waits for instance.

He just did. Must be Daryl Hannah bad influence. I guess she wants the inherentance.

I heard "Old Man" being used in a Budweiser commercial. Neil must've sold out.

Roger Waters, David Gilmour. Roger sticks to his guns

Well said!

Michael Jackson hair on fire and somebody pulls off Whitney Houston's wig. Pure jealousy. A white man doing blues, a black form of expression but features the biggest black entertainers being scalped. Think about it. Both images had their hair ruined or removed. I remember this video from my childhood. Same old low key racism that went on in the 80s before we caught on to their game.

Mashano Malbrough I wonder why no one called it out?

@@mashanomalbrough62 Jealousy? You surely don't know Neil. He never wanted to be a big pop star. He sabotaged the record companies' attempts to make him a pop star every time. And why would he be jealous of two people who's music is strictly commercial pop pablum? How many Neil albums do you own man? Do you even grok what Neil has been standing for all of his life? The last refuge of a scoundrel these days is to accuse a serious artistic or sociopolitical statement or artist as being "racist" when the statement has merit. Just because some of the biggest, highest profile, sell-out, crass commercialized acts at the point in time when Neil wrote the song were black doesn't make his statement racist. You probably think that Jackson and Houston should be exempt from criticism just because of their skin color. Well, that game of yours is getting old and won't cut it here man. The fact is that Jackson did a Pepsi commercial and Houston did a Coke commercial when they were already multi-millionaires. They were doing commercials for products that have been largely responsible for the explosion in diabetes, especially in the black community as well as products containing Donald Rumsfeld's artificial sweetener, aspartame. Neil (like many other common people were) was calling them out on it while other artists didn't have the balls to do it. Music/art and corporate capitalist commercialism don't mix. I find that your making excuses for corporate popstar posers, just because of their skin color, and then attacking Neil, to be at the least, racialist. That is a complete disservice to the real black musicians who are not sell-outs and are producing real art.

Welcome aboard the Neil Young train my friend! He is one of the best... Go back and listen to his archives they will blow you away!

@@rc.8324 Any recommendations for songs that are similar to this one?

@@raspbar3926 listen to his *Freedom" album

@@raspbar3926 Rust Never Sleeps has to be on the list.

And then he sold out ---- sold off his music catalogue for 150 mil....... hypocrite! After condemning those who were selling off use of their songs for commercials in the 80's!

This comment didn't age well.

Fun fact This video was very controversial for MTV, but that didn’t stop Neil from winning the 1989 VMA for Best Video of the Year beating out Steve Winwood, Michael Jackson, Madonna and Fine Young Cannibals

"...making music unrepresentative of himself." What the hell does that mean?

@@HansDelbruck53 Geffen wanted stuff like on the Harvest album, Neil was into different things then, and then actually went way out just to spite Geffen and did a rockabilly album, lol

That album was Everybody's Rockin'. I still have the CD version. One of the favorites in my Neil Young collection. My objection was to the phraseology - everything Neil Young did was "representative of himself", being somewhat the maverick that he was (and is).@@blindriv3r

@@HansDelbruck53 yes exactly, just illustrates what a weasel Geffen is

That's...not really ironic. It's like the precise opposite.

@Sharon Jensen That's the opposite of ironic. He literally says in the song that he won't sing for politicians.

@@pronkb000 HAHA Nicely done.

@@pronkb000 HAHA Nicely done

@Sharon Jensen What's ironic about that? Neil is being true to his word.

This “Likes” for you

This Jeep’s for you, Bruce.

Neil Young Is a musician. Your artist are entertainers . Neil Young way more talented .

He's Neil Fucking Young. He's richer than most of us could ever dream of even if he isn't as loaded as someone who sold out, plus people respect him as a serious musician.

Album first rate

You can find that full track on a performance series album Neil issued in 2015 called, "Bluenote Cafe." The sax is from a song called: "Bad News Comes to Town(a.k.a. Bad News)."

Total spoof of Clapton's sell out of After Midnight commercial for Michelob

He just sold 50% of the rights to his songs to the hipgnosis investment fund...

@@tarryfalter998 why do i believe this is a bad thing he's doing? isn't selling the publishing rights to your song a terrible thing to do?

...until now

+KirkSH52 He's a true rock star who never sold out in over 50 years.

***** I don't like when a classic song becomes part of a commercial because I don't want to think about Betty Crocker when I hear that great classic tune. I disagree that real republicans cannot get real sex. I am a real conservative but a registered independent and get real sex without any problem. As far as porn is concerned it is wrong. Now don't get your feathers all rustled OK? If you want to watch it I cannot stop you nor do I really give a flying F. The reason porn is wrong is because of the FACT that you would not want your mom doing a gang bang series or your sister. When you watch this crap, the women giving all the gize head is someone else s sister or mother. I don't ever want to entertained if it is at someone else s expense where it is harmful to that person. I have what is called integrity. You ought to try it sometime. Secondly, if you have a love in your life than have sex with your partner. You will no longer have to watch other peoples genitals slamming and bumping.

me too

There is no Neil Old, only Young.

Born To Rock.

LOL ..a sell out to morons who don't give a shit about anyone except themselves? i think you're the sellout pal.
