I can't believe what I just seen and heard! I'm gobsmacked! That was incredible! bloody incredible! he's mostly known here in uk for making daft films, I see him in new light now! Amazing cover of one of the greatest rock songs ever!
What's also awesome is AS is wearing a Manchester North Little League shirt (Manchester NH). My oldest son played and I coached in that league years ago.
@welshcanadian1 I agree with you. I grew up during the era of Neil Young and love his music. Like yourself I hate covers about 95% of the time. But he did a fairly good job with it. He did fine until he started screaming a the words out. Who would have thought Adam Sandler was a Neil Young fan. I'm suprised.
Are you people kidding me? He and that half-assed band took all the life out of this song.
Yeah it wasn't a disaster, woopee! But would hearing Neil belt this epic out ever make me for 1/2 a second think "oh yeah, Adam Sandler does a good take on this"? NO!
Here's the breakdown: over-simplified intro, monotonous verses, bland solo, shlocky "look at me" fake rock-scream, and lights out. BOOOORING!
Ya'll wanna see how a cover is done proper, check out Heather Nova's take on this song.
i honestly don't get why people comment on things they clearly had no intention of liking in the first place. why would a person watch this if they dislike sandler? if rob schneider or jimmy fallon did this i sure as shit wouldn't watch it, let alone comment on it
I think Adam does a commendable job here. His voice even does Neil justice. Nice one, Sandler! Even a nifty little guitar lead that sounds a bit like Neil.
Sooooooooooo awesome!
