Neil Young - Sleeps With Angels (Video)

[SiManRevolution]

If in my life I could make somthing half as good as Sleeps With Angels or Harvest it won't have been a waste of time.

[Eoinmoo4]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KURT COBAIN, COULD HAVE CHANGED THE MUSIC INDUSTRY EVEN MORE IF YOU WERE STILL ALIVE. WE ARE GRATEFUL WITH WHAT YOU LEFT US WITH <3 RIP

[mrstromer]

Neil Young is certainly one of the greatest. No question there.

Great song! Thanks for posting!

[eLeNa8049]

For you. Kurt.

We miss you.

[YrvakenOriginal]

As a redeem to those who will fall... The rock'n'roll world never ends... A fact of life...

What a great tune

[justutkarsh13]

listen closely again and you can feel the thunder of clouds \m/



[pennyroyaltea89]

Its really cool how such great songwriters such as Neil Young can recognize Kurt Cobain's brilliance as a musician. Its also so sad that we all had to loose yet another amazing artist. Tragically addiction and depression has always seemed to have targeted the most beautiful and brilliant minds and most likely always will. But in the end the music always lives on and serves to inspire the next generation of young artists!

[bronzester]

Same here in Brazil. Mediocrity rules the world !

Keep on rocking, Neil !

[TheSimonRowell]

Thank god for youtube. Why is this stuff not played on daytime radio, do the major stations think everyone in the UK really wants to listen to Lady GaGa every minuit of the day. Sorry to sound like an old miserable bastard, but what the hell.

[josiahbartlett1]

@TheSimonRowell It's the same in Canada. Terrible.

[BrettLank101]

@TheSimonRowell Same here in America!!

[wpardijr]

@TheSimonRowell Unfortunately, this kind of music brainwashing is happening almost everywhere in the world... It's up to us, to teach the kids today what real music really means (I mean, music composed and played by musicians, not entertainers ;-)

[SKUMMASBAGGUS]

@wpardijr my thoughts exactly! true music inspires, modern "music" just makes money.

[alexinswfla]

@TheSimonRowell same here in the US. Lady GAGme sucks

[SmokeyJoe0kf]

@TheSimonRowell yes the radio stations unfortunately do! good music is a thing of the past all new good music gets lapped up and turned to in to commercialism and the bands buy in to it and in turn become a product of commercialisation, its a sad world we live in where rebellion its self has become commercial, too many bands and artists nowadays get trapped by the bright lights and promises laid out in front of them that they sign away their souls and get stumped by their own ego...............

[SmokeyJoe0kf]

@TheSimonRowell .............we live in a world where mediocrity is portrayed as brilliance and true brilliance is ignored or classed as cult, we now live in a complex world where the expanse of knowledge and shared ideology means that people no longer care to think about things for them selves but would rather be force fed shit as excellence, unfortunately for all of us the ideals of punk. grunge, rock, metal, hippies.........

[SmokeyJoe0kf]

@TheSimonRowell ........in essence the alternativeness of life, music etc etc have just become another popularity for people to package and sell to us to indulge ourselves on, RIP freedom of thought, expression and ideology and most of all RIP alternative, just my thoughts anyway :)

[RebelThoughts]

this song is amazing.

[desmondthemoonbear10]

every one watch hand sings bob Marley its hilarious

[ikeman1156]

That guitar sound coming from Neil is just so AWESOME! What is it? I know distortion but what else because its one of the coolest sounds ive ever heard

[n3ph3sh]

@ikeman1156 cranked up Fender Deluxe, no drive pedals here ;)

[julyarchives]

Kurt was up there with the best .He was with Nirvarna mind blowing and changed things .

[bigqkev]

i hate the wait

[11xzxzxz]

What songs or writings show that Kurt was inspired by Neil Young? I am just curious. I think Kurt was influenced by the Replacements but Kurt went out of his way to not usually mention this.

[Toasttoastingfingers]

@11xzxzxz

Amongst a few other things Kurt quoted Neil in his suicide letter, which indicates he had at least heard some of Neils music and appreciated it.

[11xzxzxz]

@Toasttoastingfingers OK .. but what are the other things except for "rust never sleeps" quote. Most of my remark was as a Mats fan I thought Kurt owed more to them than the other bands he would mention. When Paul Westerberg mentioned his influenced he fuckin named them all and you felt he was honest. This is not some major criticism of Kurt .. I just really only like 3 or 4 songs by Nirvana.

[Toasttoastingfingers]

@11xzxzxz

I don't think there are any as obvious ties between Kurt and Neil, but really, Neil's way of playing can sometimes be recognized in Nirvana's body of work. Not to mention the sound! Neil had the grunge sound before there were grunge. A lot of bands in the 90's were inspired by him (noteably Pearl Jam) and I'm pretty sure Nirvana were too

[11xzxzxz]

@Toasttoastingfingers OK that sounds like a fair assessment. This video seems a little slick and anti-Neil in that I doubt that Neil had an input into the video content..

[thecyprianone]

always dug neil , the guitar becomes a part of him .. he has always made music that has a " hat for every head" ..

[PERI59]

i like this video even though it is so rough and ragged and stark,shitty lighting. what it does well is show the pain in all these guys as they process Cobain's death, i love how neil touches the other singers arm, how the one man turns toward the camera after the song and then turns away because he doesn't want his face to be seen with emotion and i love! the other video i saw of this where the drummer sighs at the end before fade to black..it says it all

[PERI59]

i like this video even though it is so rough and ragged and stark,shitty lighting.( It reminds me of Starry nite painting) what it does well is show the pain in all these guys as they process Cobain's death, i love how neil touches the other singers arm, how the one man turns toward the camera after the song and then turns away because he doesn't want his face to be seen with emotion and i love! the other video i saw of this where the drummer sighs at the end before fade to black..it says it all

[stefanbatts]

I'm staring at the black screen that says, "imbedding disabled by request" rather than watching the video. Good song. But from what I'm seeing its a shitty video.

[stefanbatts]

@stefanbatts replying to myself.

I think I'm either the first or the second person to dislike this video.

[cobain0420]

as a HUGE Kurt fan i dont see how this has ne thing to do with him or Cortney at all. srry man just dont.

[darkcowboyhero]

@cobain0420

Don't see it indeed.

[Zookmottin]

@cobain0420 then you are blind as a bat. 

[Imaginecide]

@cobain0420 Just listen to this. Then listen to Young's other work - can you tell how this is written for Kurt? This is a song honoring him and his music, just the look and sound is giving it away. Look up the lyrics, even. It's a blatant tribute.

[ioannhs]

deer God .. of all commercials too sneak up on me while I'm cruising NY vids ... McDonalds ... ahhhhhhhhhhh

[julyarchives]

love this tune its different

regards

jimmy

[11xzxzxz]

I like the music more than the lyrics. "But after he did it that night / she ran up phone bills" . Come on Neil you can do better. And now someone will tell me how "ran up phone bills" is Courtney calling everyone about Kurt because he had so many friends and admirers ... duh I think I get that. Yeah I still remember the video of Kurt stabbing viciously and hurting an unruly non-threatening fan in the audience. Yeah I know Kurt was troubled. But it looked cruel.

[idiot139]

@11xzxzxz send me a link

[11xzxzxz]

@idiot139 I don't know where it is but it was on YT a while back and may be still there.

[idiot139]

@11xzxzxz no reports of it on google, probalby just getting revenge on a bouncer.

[11xzxzxz]

@idiot139 Revenge is the secret to Kurt. Please find that poor injured guy .. he got out of the hospital in 2010 and can sue Kurt's estate plus if he acts now .. a free ice-crusher. Young and Old Esq.. law firm of the rock stars.

[11xzxzxz]

Good song about a guy who wrote 2 great songs (Nevermind, Come as You Are) and did one great cover (Bowie's the man who sold the world). Neil has done 100 great songs before he was 30 .. this guy never sleeps

[RedDeville1989]

@11xzxzxz

I agree that Neil Young is immensely superior to Nirvana but since when did Nirvana have a song called Nevermind?

[11xzxzxz]

@RedDeville1989 Ha thanks.. OK never-mind. Smells Like Teen Spirit about a boy who write a few good songs but was a better guitarist & singer than songwriter & charming and smelly . And there is a video on YT that shows Kurt stuck his guitar into the face of an obnoxious fan, I suppose, and it looks deliberate and I were that guy I would have sued Kurt and if I remember the guy was bloodied and Kurt came pretty close to his eyes with his guitar which Kurt finally found better use for...

[RebelThoughts]

@11xzxzxz You clearly know nothing about Nirvana if you think they only have 2 good songs. Clueless twat.

[11xzxzxz]

@RebelThoughts You only have Nirvana on your site so your word means squat you twat. See how I stole from you .. that's due to Kurt, our hero. Hey I can express my opinion. And ass-h, I said 3 great songs not "good" songs. I am sure many of there songs are listenable but on when I hear 5 songs from a record and 2 are great and 3 are OK, I somethings think there may not be anymore gems... But Kurt was a better songwriter than Eddie. Happy now? Yeah you're on Lithium.

[bobbyboucher001]

@11xzxzxz

Two different styles of music and two different opinions?? go figure, you both are douche bags.... lol ;-P

[11xzxzxz]

@bobbyboucher001 OK little bobby "bouthcer" of the language. Nice vocab, terrible site you have. Go take a flying fuck at donuts off a cliff into a speeding train and fold your ego five ways and put it where the moon don't shine. And sissy-boy, lol is for women, men write ha.

[bobbyboucher001]

@11xzxzxz Ok big boy.... Don't know why u so offended, you're arguing about music styles....dumb a-s-s, Oh btw, you're mom would say hello, but her mouth is kinda full right now....

[bobbyboucher001]

@11xzxzxz all I can say to that is mmmmmm necrophilia

I knew she was a little stiff.....lol

[123ThisIsMe]

@11xzxzxz

woo .. coming on a bit strong here, hey?

To say ' LOL' is something only 'sissy-boys' use ....

Well, go and say that to Ross (he often uses LOL and he sure ain't no 'sissy')

Aah, I see, you wouldn't tell him what you really think ... wonder why .. could it be that you're a bit of a sissy...? (oh, take no offence in what I say .. lol)

[11xzxzxz]

@123ThisIsMe Yeah I should not have written lol was for women because it was not true. But didn't it occur to you I was just being absurd and toying with the Butcher of Douche Bagville? No need to answer ..

[h879xx]

@11xzxzxz Nevermind is not a song. And if you like the very produced sound of come as you are then why are you listening to Neil young? Nirvana had plenty of great songs.

[11xzxzxz]

@h879xx OK smells like I teen spirit. I love garage bands, indies, alternative, and pop and the "produced sounds". Check out my site. I just didn't like much of Nirvana, that's all. Just as the Foo Fighters only have one great tune and maybe one good tune on each records and nothing else much good , imo. Neil is my all time favorite and The Replacements when they got more produced but still raw ..I guess I am middle of the road on the raw-produced continuum but I can like a lot of stuff.

[WoodRatGirl]

@h879xx

I would just ignore him. He's a whiner that has his facts wrong anyway ;)

[bringbackthe1960sppl]

pearl jam is annoying

[julyarchives]

this is up there with praire wind

jimmy

[PuppyPieces]

I don't know what you folks think, but I think that Neil's tribute is the BEST TRIBUTE to Kurt that I know of...

[PopCultureSucks]

@PuppyPieces Kurt was inspired a lot by Young and now Young is writing a song for him. Kurt would have been honored.

[WoodRatGirl]

@PopCultureSucks

Really? where did you find that out? That's wonderful news :-)

[59mar]

@PopCultureSucks wrote that right after his death -a long time ago...

[rimbaud108]

@PopCultureSucks Have you heard Patti Smith's "About a Boy"? - also about Kurt.

[PopCultureSucks]

@rimbaud108 no I have not, but I will look it up.

[laynecobain6794]

Kurt hated Pearl Jam. Why would you wish that? Nobody should cover this song. Neil Young only!

[shane31lv]

There's a reason no one covers this song, it's almost imposssible to play , the power chords are easy enough but good luck after that lol. Great song.

[julyarchives]

This is great .Spontaneous its like jazz

regards

jimmy

[withtheirmachines]

so what if that was the last cd in his cd player? that doesnt make them the band he most respected. pixies and melvins. not rem.kurt himself couldnt meet black francis because he RESPECTED HIM SO MUCH. not tryin to be a dick.just fact.

[rockableanthony]

R.I.P Kurt Cobain. my #1 inspiration in music. without Kurt i would have never gotten into rock punk or metal or even picked up a guitar. thank you Kurt for being a major inspiration. and thank you Neil for being so bright. i love playing this song. every time i play it i feel this chill down my spine especially the second riff it has this beuatiful feeling to it. sorry if i spelled that wrong.

[blindriv3r]

what is that funky guitar Poncho is playing...? some old Kay or something?

[YOIZRAPZ]

Kind of tells a story or gives some kind of insight into the relationship between kurt and courtney....?? idk its just my thoughts

[mussman717word]

Regardless, I see your point.

[shane31lv]

I wawnna see pearl jam cover this song as a tribute to the one and only KC.

[obama234]

hells ya

[mussman717word]

@shane31lv

Why? Niel Young is better and a bigger influence on Cobain. Isn't this good enough, lol.

[snikket]

@mussman717word in that case R.E.M should have done a cover as they were possibly the band that Kurt respected most of all!

[withtheirmachines]

actually that would be the pixies.

[snikket]

that was where he got his influence for "smells like teen spirit" but thats not his most respected band, or wasnt.

infact, R.E.M was the last album in his stereo that was on the day he was found. but the disk had ended as it was a while till he was found. sad but true :(

[8888ph]

@snikket thats not sad rem is a good band
