Neil Young - Phoenix Festival 1996 - Hey Hey My My (Into The

[Gigmaster68]

The Godfather of Grunge!

[48dodea]

Rock and Roll will never die --- just OD

it is better to burn out -- Neil young has not made an original album in 17 years and he is out on tour in 2012

[page887]

Tell me grunge aint rock and roll. Ya be's kickin, Mr. Young.Page887.

[123must]

A livin' legend !

A lot of thanks

[julyarchives]

What a great tune .Lucky to be there to see this .If you can ever get a vid or sound recording of the finale "Like a hurricane" you will not be dissapointed its the best version i,ve heard in 35 years since it was first played by Neil Young and Crazy Horse

[staninjapan07]

@julyarchives I was there, but like an idiot I was unaware that Neil Young was on the main stage, while I was watching Reef and Kulashaker. Damn shame that is. Glad you enjoyed it.

[Cleberobin]

This song is perfect.

[Clarky1966]

Fuck me, I was st this festival and I wasn't aware there was footage from it on here. Neil Young blew everyone away, the whole act was electrifying.

What with this, Bowie and the the Pistols on the same site, what a perfect combo', hahaha.

Thanks for posting my mate.

[48dodea]

@Clarky1966 fuck you

[SirDaunenstert]

"This is the song of A Johnny rotten"

[dalgamoreno]

Rotten is much more important person then Lydon. Because the story of Jhonny is a sad "into the black" story. Dig this. You will see why Young told that.

[ReeseMac]

First time I heard him add "Johnny Lydon" in the lyrics

[T0oLfan06]

Wow, no matter his age, he always sounds exactly the same :) His voice is amazing! <3

[soren1789]

12 people don't believe that rock and roll will never die.

[bigbryceful]

TIDE KICKS ASS



[moonstomp]

Rock n Roll is here to stay

[kingjojothegreat]

Johnny Rotten in 1978 said Rock N' Roll was dead. This was Neil's retort. Simple as that.

[jazzsaavy]

funny thing i like about this tune is if it gets off kilter a little it rights itself like columbus and his trio of ships and i agree the heavier version of this song just kicks doing it clean aint nearly as fun look at these guys they turn back to teenagers for five minutes or so, ok the whole gig

[seeburg220]

This song introduced me to Neil Young in high school, circa 1980. Rust Never Sleeps still holds up great today !

[jureh1]

what energy

[dnjsehd32]

best song ever

neil young never die!!

[gary44444444]

I love to watch Neil Young dance...It's like watching a zombie stomp on snakes.

[Onedayyouhadtorun]

Why is he wearing a Tide shirt?

[LezardValeth]

@Onedayyouhadtorun Because only Neil Young can rock out in a Tide t-shirt.

[scumgod13]

@dangerbirdzuma I don't think it's about Elvis as much as Rock n Roll in general. At about 3:07 he starts on a guitar solo that fucks me up every time, damn I love how he plays.

[rageyart]

yeeee-aaaaaah, rockalicious! fuck yeah

[tomsnowball]

i was 18. i was there! that was a festival- bowie, neil young & the sex pistols in the blistering heat! we had to walk for miles in 30 degrees to get to the site because there was such bad traffic ouf stratford. about an hour after we finally got the tent up, neil young came on stage....

[stonerjim]

@tomsnowball Hi... i was there too.... amazing gig - and man that traffic was insane... it took me and my mates about 3 hours to get to within 8 miles of the site - then pretty much stuck for another 9 hours in traffic... i think we got to the site about 1am .... so missed Bowie... but what a weekend .......

[Notion7]

coolest bunch of old men rockin'

[TheMrharleydude1]

"Good luck Johnny"

[JeffRocks77]

God! he rocks like a 20

[kromerr]

give em hell neil, give em hell.

[fredmomma]

lol I need that shirt!

[rwfmade]

that is totally insane

[roach8645]

That's actually a Gold Top Les Paul Neil is playing. Someone painted it black before Neil bought it.

[manfromregina]

Spawn of Gordon...

[BarstoolBlues33]

That solo is the definiton of RAW...

[TheRonsteff]

They ONLY reason I use Tide(It's sucks to tell you the truth)

[chewyxrage]

Neil Young is a God.

[filmnoirist]

Neil Young has more ROCK under his toenail than most of today's artists & bands in their whole act.

[LedHed65]

Best version IMO!!

[apemanstreetwalker]

no one else can make that noise like he does....

[TacomaPaul]

Neil = Godfather of "Grunge"

[TacomaPaul]

After Kurt died.... Neil said he'd never play this song in Seattle again.... and he hasn't.... (Kurt Cobain quoted this song in his suicide note).... and Neil loved Kurt.

[hockeytim64]

What are you wearing for the show tonight?Think I will wear this Tide shirt the wife got free for sending in coupons...Now thats ROCK-N-ROLL ATTITUDE !!!No posers allowed !

[scumgod13]

@hockeytim64 I love it he's wearing that shirt. How fucking cool. How unassuming.

[guitariff1]

I like the Tide t-shirt....dirt can't hide from intensified tide....perfect for Neil...intense!

[jdudeu]

YOU ROCK ...NEIL

[valeria084]

Hey hey my my rock'n'roll will never die

[venuswilliamsinfurs]

god damn, love tide detergent

[itsameea1]

11 people need to go into the blackness and never come back!!!!

[TrempBoy2]

I much prefer the heavy electric versions to the clean/acoustic versions of this. That guitar just sends shivers down my spine

[scumgod13]

@TrempBoy2 Same here and many Neil Young songs I feel just the opposite about but the way he hits it in this one is incomparable to anything before or since. Especially (for me) starting at about 3:05 around there. I can listen over and over.Of course they're many more technical guitarist,shredders,etc, But this is my favorite!

[KicksMcgee23]

@TrempBoy2 Really? I feel like the the acoustic version holds so much more water. It's much more somber and conveys more feeling. Not that this version isnt good though.

[julyarchives]

What a great tune .Saw Neil Young and Crazy Horse at this cocert with Claire and Georgia 96.If you caqn get a copy of Like a hurricane from this concert you will not be dissapointed.18 minutes of great music ,sounds and emotion you wil ever hear

regards

jimmy

[ilovecake213]

To play with this man, Would be an honour.

[pkracing50]

I like the Tide shirt!

Niel Young rocks!

[pkracing50]

I like the Tide shirt!

[rupman27isback]

GREAT DAMN PERFORMANCE.. TALK ABOUT FUZZY!!! GREATNESS

[JustinVillage]

Tide??????? I FUCKING LOVE NEIL!!!!

[LetsShareMusic]

only know of this songs thanks to Sons of Anarchy, now i have it playing on loop, along with the Battleme cover used in the show - classic!

[Dubaiman123]

yes correct about the guitar playing...not many will appreciate...highly original...nevertheless acoustic I always prefer fm him..this voice...magic..

[hartman1r]

its hard to explain the brilliance of this song,,the king is gone but not forgotten...neither will Neil Young!! Amen

[YARDNHALF]

good luck jonny selling butter

[suzifox1]

Soa Hey Hy My My

[SROD12321]

it's not fair. these old timers used up all the best chord progressions. now it's impossible to write original music!

[fedfirearm]

Always great!

[darkraiofheaven]

NEIL YOU FUCKING ROCK BRO

[h879xx]

That sound that Neil young gets from his guitar is a sound you can only get from playing with 100% passion.

[305bigdad]

I wish neil would get back with all these guys who look like the work at an auto body shop and just shred it like this again. This is awesome.

[scumgod13]

O.K., I have wondered forever, he says This is the story of Johnny Rotten.WHOs JOHNNY ROTTEN. I mean, I know its John Lydon from the Sex Pistols but wasn't this song written way before the PISTOLS were ever thought of. So is JONNY ROTTEN Like a ficticouse Johnny B. Good type character! Regardless Neil Young is a Guitar God!He was one of the 1st (aside from Hendrix) that used feed back as an asset, almost an instrument altogether..All the NOISE ROCK bands should kiss his ass.

[Atomigots]

@scumgod13 The song was recorded in 1978, the year the Sex Pistols broke up.

[naturalbornhustler13]

@Atomigots john lydon was known as johnny rotten

[Atomigots]

@naturalbornhustler13 I know that, dickhead.

[darmikela]

@Atomigots well that was un needed.

[scumgod13]

@Atomigots lol. Thank him for that bit of Rare Knowledge he shared with you. Now you are enlightened.

[dalihendrix]

@naturalbornhustler13 wrong!

hendrix tee shirt is very obvious.

[scumgod13]

@naturalbornhustler13 Why did you tell him that, if he knew the year they broke up, he knew johnny Rotton's real name. I thought this song was written in early 70's. But i'M WRONG thanks for the info Atomigots.

[scumgod13]

@Atomigots Thank You, I thought it was written much earlier like right after he quit with Crosby stills Nash and Young. I think his Guitar playing is enough to keep him relevant!

[gunnsgthartman]

@scumgod13 Yes, it's reference to Johnny Rotten from the Sex Pistols; to the punk movement from the end of the 70's (Ramones, Clash, etc.). The "king is gone but not forgotten" refers to Elvis. Punk was a revolution just as Rock and Roll in the 50's, with Elvis its King. The song also refers to suicide ("out of the blue, and into the black"); it could mean good things/good bands don't last (just think of Kurt Cobain quoting this song in his last note).

[hemorrhoidprime]

@scumgod13 not that hard to look up the dates bro

[1sababoy]

@scumgod13 Haha! Agreed with your last statement, but that would be a pretty wrinkly old ass to kiss! N.Y. is eternal!!!

[LetsShareMusic]

@scumgod13 and he actually mentions John Lydon, listen out for it :)

[lgrove21]

@scumgod13 note jimi hendrixon t-shirt

[Gedith]

@scumgod13 The song is about the alternatives of continuing to produce similar music ("to rust" or — in "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)" — "to fade away") or to burn out, as John Lydon of the Sex Pistols might be considered to have done by abandoning his Johnny Rotten persona. The Sex pistols had already been and gone before this song was recorded....

[BloodyHarrow]

@scumgod13 Eh, the idea behind the song from what I can gather is simply that Neil Young sold out with this song... he rubbed himself against punk to stay popular and ride their coat tails. Thus the entire meaning of the song, "It's better to burn out than it is to rust" Young does crap like this performance to stay new and thus productive. Take it how you want I guess but for the most part it was Young singing to himself.

[BloodyHarrow]

@BloodyHarrow Oh, also to note I think Dave Foley does a skit on an old Kids in the Hall episode where he talks about "bad Vibes" he gets from rock, least I see a lot of Neil Young in it... in the end he just gives in and goes with rock... much like Neil.

[roddy76to86]

@scumgod13

Neil Young also says "Good luck Johnny" twice later on. As this was 1996, the Sex Pistols had reunited with their original line-up (Glen Matlock was The Sex Pistols original bass guitarist before Sid Vicious, and co-writer of most of their songs), and were embarked on a 20th anniversary world tour. So that was what Neil Young was referring to before this tour.

Punk galvanised Neil Young into producing some of the best music of his career; like this song for example.

[scumgod13]

@roddy76to86 Yea, I'm sure Punk hit him like a fuckin' freight train as he was already experimenting with some Noise Rock stuff. I love it, my favorite guitar player ever.

[roddy76to86]

@scumgod13

The story I heard (so I'm not absolutely certain that it's true) was that Neil Young went into a bit of a depression after punk, thinking his career was finished. But then he perked up and came out with the best music of his career.

That was the way to react to punk, not go into a 35 year long huff like Greg Lake. Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull had the right idea as well, coming out with their album "Too Old To Rock, Too Young To Die" !

[1algerial1]

@scumgod13

this song has many meanings - it is in two way a massage from the punk rock community. Johnny Rotten was important for the punk movement - it also is about the vietnam war.

The last reason for this having something to do with punk rock is that this song was the last song kurt cobain put on repeat when he killed himself. I think that is why this song never got played on and acoustic by Neil ever again. There is more anger in this song cos of kurt cobain´s death.

[bobert995]

what an awesome old man!

[MasterOfPizza99t]

@hurryfae Same to you, Billy Mays. Lay off that CAPS key from time to time.

[MasterOfPizza99t]

Neil Young invented Thrash Metal.

[PsychadelicElephant]

metal.. pffffft get a clue

[MasterOfPizza99t]

@PsychadelicElephant I have such a raging clue right now.

[PsychadelicElephant]

such a fail comment hope u find ur clue, peace out

[MasterOfPizza99t]

@PsychadelicElephant no u

[scumgod13]

@MasterOfPizza99t Hmmmm, metal, I disagree because Neil Young still plays the basic 4/4 6/8 time and the same chords that all the Blues men played. I would say he started NOISE ROCK,which is every bit as significant as Thrash/speed metal. Metal though, is one of the few if not the only Genres that dont rip off the Blues.Im talking speed metal, Anthrax,Megadeath,etc.It is Classical influenced.I respect it as its the only ROCK music not stolen from Africans.

[WayTooDazedConfus3d]

@MasterOfPizza99t I know right haha

[traderjts]

where can I get a Tide shirt like old Neil?

[grandmasteroy]

A Canadian Hero

[1045C]

[hodgins]

[sjdinergrrl]

@hodgins yeah thank him now

[Postie218]

Old guys can still kick ass in rock and roll

[nckey42]

Neil Young is a Wild Man

[Malibuheaven1]

I could watch this a million times and still love this song! Long live Neil and Crazy Horse!

[ndn692009]

[moustikdu91]

Neil Young is the father of Grunge music,

The fat and dirty sounds...

The clothes he wore yesterday...

The genius in his lyrics...

A pure poet and musician...

Neil Young is our father...

[moustikdu91]

Neil young is the father of grunge music,

The Fat dirty sound...

[losf1969]

"I love how unassuming and unglamorous they all look... It's like your dad and his drinking buddies got together in the garage to form a kick-ass rock band."

Well said my friend. Nevertheless, the best of Canada (period)

[pollysbuddy]

he is so creative

[SatanSteve666]

WHERE THE FUCK DID HE GET THAT TIDE T-SHIRT?!?!?!

[oisint2]

fuckin hero!

[shotputi]

Who is Johnny Rodin ?

[youandyamum]

@shotputi - he was in the thex pithtolls

[strummer101]

@shotputi Johnny Rotton.

[SatanSteve666]

@shotputi

Front-man to "The Sex Pistols"

He is mentioned in this song because of his Rebel persona that he abandoned after the band broke up i think...

But to this day he still has his sick/morbid sense of humor we all know and love him for.

And because of the sex pistols being gone... The king is gone but he is not forgotten

[djc741]

I first heard of this song because Stephen King quoted it in "IT"

And then this morning i turned on vh1 classic and it was on RockFest

Badass shit, Neil Young

[classicrockNo1]

@djc741 dude, i saw that same one to. live rust. i wish they had it on youtube

[djc741]

@classicrockNo1 yeah man, it was a great show

[classicrockNo1]

@djc741 well, i think im going to buy the dvd. about six bucks used on amazon. deffinitely worth twenty or more, in my opinion

[JoshWattsBlues]

2:33 I love that little bit!

[ChildrenOfBodom420]

i love the jimi hendrix t-shirt

[WeCamefortheDead]

I got to see Neil twice, once when he toured with a full band recently, and again with just him on stage. ....I felt like I'd witnessed God.

[you9totally9suck]

@WeCamefortheDead Man I think you're really blessed...

[jixxxxer17]

I don't think there is any one label that fits Neil Young ! I can't believe he is wearing that Tide T shirt tho ! cause he don't sing for Pepsi  I thought ?

[muddytrack]

@jixxxxer17 He's being ironic

[blindriv3r]

@jixxxxer17 I think he is being ironic here....Tide didn't give him any money for that I am sure

[cascilla]

pure kick ass american rock n roll

[Floydianification]

@cascilla Actually, He's Canadian.

[lucytaylor90]

@cascilla hes canadian! x

[lucytaylor90]

@cascilla hes canadian!

[peterpanmannnn]

Rock the fuck out of that guitar Neil Young

[rsantos11]

I love how unassuming and unglamorous they all look... It's like your dad and his drinking buddies got together in the garage to form a kick-ass rock band.

In my dreams, every dad on my block would get together to form a band, learn only to play this one song, and they'd play it over and over again just to annoy the neighbors.

[WizardofFuzz]

@rsantos11 that's a fucking great idea xD though my dad knows hardly hardly which way to hold a guitar...

[aquagrl63]

@rsantos11 Well he IS the godfather of grunge. Unglamorous is like a requirement.

[itchynoob]

@rsantos11 my dad was in a band that turned down niel young cuz he wasnt good enough. -.- you never know what will happen

[lander4545]

@rsantos11 To funny! lol

[SirRaze]

@rsantos11 I agree, it's like someones dad and drunk uncles pick up guitars and blow your fuckin mind and kick your ass with secret rock skills!!

[tempo1889]

@rsantos11 Give it about a week and a half and it would annoy you as well.

[znogypogy]

@rsantos11 this may sound odd but, i think neil would take that comment as a great compliment

[HighFlyinDragon]

Pure genius! So real! So true!

[83MetalMulisha]
