Neil Young RnR HOF Induction Part 1

[obzcure]

It's one of the few times at that period where Eddie looked really happy.

[hungerstriker27]

I love pearl jam. I respect so much eddie. Nothing but the truth. And thanx PJ I knew, neil and the who

[BlackRedYellow10]

Thank you for sharing this.

[Isismusicnow]

that was a speech worth remembering

[JustAintthatWay]

legend much

[TheDavelogan]

Where can I see that Southern Man performance?

[mamabon1075]

I always loved this man and his amazing talent! Never knew what he was going to do next. The most talented artist who's still going. I'm sure I can speak for many, "we love you Neil!!" Your music has been a part of my life since I'm a kid and now....when I'm not! What a ride!

[dominicartcom]

@mamabon1075

You're so right!!

[dawcx]

15 years later and he's still writing his best songs yet

[mamabon1075]

@neharahansamali What's spam??

[bamber1960]

Best intro to RRHOF that theirs ever been

[81Bear]

It was all great--Neil was, as always, droll and real, and Eddie hit all the right notes. One thing that was unfortunate though, is the complete absence of any music, album cover shots, or video between Harvest and Hurricane. Nothing from Time Fades Away, Tonight's the Night, On the Beach, or Zuma, the last 3 among his very best albums. At least Eddie mentioned TNT. I know his catalogue was too vast, even 15 years ago now, to include everything, but at least TNT deserved some clip.

[Bodomlover]

Neil Young is what you call a musical genius!!

[toddholden]

a classic RnRHOF intro by Eddie, for a classic performer

[hamburglar57]

who can compete with him ?

[phddddd]

@hamburglar57 Only the few, Ray Davies, Arthur Lee, and Steve Winwood.

[bowmant09]

he kinda looks like Jack White here

[Santana004]

what does he mean by "ticketmasters table" at 5:40

[whygohome1]

@Santana004 back in the 90's they had a huge fude with TM, PJ were taking on the large rip off corp and standing up for their fans and what they believe in.

[Santana004]

@whygohome1 thanks for explaining it

[Renthefaceless]

@Santana004 Pearl Jam boycotted Ticketmaster and rallied a bunch of musicians to change the way tickets were priced etc.

[Santana004]

@Renthefaceless thank you for explaining it, in a way that i can understand :)

[FuckYourComment89]

its better to burn out than to fade away...

Cobain is inducted into the hof right?

[Rapture74]

no, it's 25 years after a first release before a "performer" can be inducted. bleach was 1989 (i think) so nirvana will be on the ballot in a few years. rnr hof website has inductees and nominees on it if you're interested

[dirtyfrank81]

@FuckYourComment89 why do ppl always have to include cobain in everything??? i think young deserves to be praised for his talent and leave cobain out of it.

[FuckYourComment89]

Im a huge nirvana fan,sorry

[Eddiemily]

That's Jeff Ament at 5:46 between those two guys....why would the cameras point at them instead of the ticketmaster people??

[animal90sFreak5]

good clips and performer,glad he was inducted.

[Nevermind900426]

LOL puted tickmaster right beside them

[troutvt]

god bless you uncle neal for a generation

[mapscannotcontainme]

I can't wait to hear your answer to this, but why is Vedder a dirtbag to you?

[jellyfisheater]

what are you talking about?? And how can you possibly call Eddie Vedder a dirtbag? You must know nothing about him, his music or what he stands for. Pearl Jam are heavily inspired by Neil Young, have performed with him, and pay tribute to him constantly. Eddie Vedder is a musician, a songwriter - not a public speaker. Plus this was taped at a time when Vedder was a young man, and having a very hard time dealing with the fame his musical talent had brought him. Just thought ya should know!!

[kpw11985]

a genius.

[IveyMae]

Yes, Eddie Vedder is amazing and a lovely person. How can someone not love him? He's adorable and an amazing musician. I liked how he pointed out that Neil Young is Canadian. Ha!

[happyhoppinghippy]

PJ arent grunge anymore. Theyre amazing but theyre not grunge. Listen to their new single

[happyhoppinghippy]

You know whats funny, the God of grung has outlived kurt, pearl jam, soundgarden etc, there's no grung left but yet he still rocks it out! this guy is unreal

[NothinGBetteRPJMaN]

Pearl Jam is and always has been around...I agree with your comment, but dont know what you mean because PJ never broke up and are comin out with an album in September!!

[longlostgus]

Hi, I been Neil Young fan since the 70's and to make my comment short and to the point, his one of the best musicans in rock history, don't know if number five or whatever, just the best.

[septip123]

I'm gonna sit down and just cry the day he passes...

[THEDRIVEN60]

touch wood and hope to god that day never comes I love neil young he is an icon hopefully he outlives me so i dont go thru the pain

[LUVstufflikepandas45]

I think EVERYONE will. and if they don't they're shitbags that don't know how to respect an AMAZING person.

[lamons71]

In my opinion top 5 greatest artist in the history of music

[1787patriot]

I guess I have never really understood people ..Not to say i cant think well..Just cant understand soo manys actions..I guess thats why I love Neil Young so much..He keeps it real and That is what make true sense to me..The word Legend is a word that has lost much of its meaning, But in every positive sense of the word, Neil Certainly is one...My life is richer for Neil being here when I have been too.. Thanks for leading by example Neil, You always do what is true..Peace, Medley

[Boogie157]

wow eddie vedder looks young! ha ha, can't stop laughing when i see this. Neil Young is a hell of a musician, and who is best for putting him into the hall of fame! Eddie Vedder! Eddie is so AWESOME!

[Boogie157]

i love EDDIE VEDDER! You gotta say he is soo funny the ticketmaster.

[zerochance01]

Eddie Vedder is amazing....a ledgend inducting a ledgend

>Eddie looks GOREGEOUS!!!!

[Anuska85]

Can anybody tell me the name of the song in 2:21...Please! :-)

[WarofMan]

Sample and Hold off of Trans

[fooldeth]

This is fucking amazing. APRIL 20TH!!!!

[bruinboy84]

Eddie Vedder looked down and said "UM" an awful lot.

[slapmastered]

Eddie has never really done public speaking well...though he has gotten better in recent years, playing with the crowds more. I found his comments on Ticketmaster HI-LARIOUS.

[cidp012]

Well I don't know how you can measure that, but to me, he's always seemed like a pretty good public speaker. He can win the crowd over. well sure, he stammers and doesn't really enunciate very well, but it always feels like he's being honest and speaking from his heart. that's all I care.

[JimB667]

0:53.... damn that man is a god.

[SilentEcho2]

Neil is one hell of a musician, but he cannot dance to save his life, lol

But that's alright, when you kick as much ass as he does, you don't need to know how to dance, lol

[Brento44]

Wow.. Young Eddie. or maybe Eddie Young.. hahaha I think Neil Young is amazing and he is the grand father of "Grunge"..

[NightMoves00]

Much diserved......

[LiritChoiseul]

hihi 'speaking of feisty, some smartass...' the ticketmaster and industry part... lol

gotta love Ed :)

[manwitamap]

i love neil

[VeldigdeiligfraNorge]

god jul

[VeldigdeiligfraNorge]

god jul

[NoRulesInNam]

Neil fuckin' Young!

[YakkedUp]

we to be smacked eddie

[Emiel11111]

today is Neils birthday!!

[glorifyyourname]

very funny and wellspoken!

[Powderfinger07]

I like @ 4:21 he's in that zone, lost in the Low D drone and then comes out of it.

[sanjuro0518]

At 4'04", when the montage is ending, there is a song on piano (it's between Helpless and Change Your Mind). Just a few notes are played, anyone know what song that is?

[Powderfinger07]

Possibly the theme to 'Philadelphia'?

[rugbywing14]

Eddie is awesome! So funny.

[goflow02]

well, the absolutely best part is (at least for me):

"And he looked around and he said "Oh, I gotta get outta here!" I saw a man overwhelmed by his body of work." - lol

[goflow02]

I'm sorry, I didn't understand what Eddie hopes Neil "is feeling tonight". Don't know that one word. Could some native speakers help me?

[investor1974]

Feisty:having or showing a lively aggressiveness

[goflow02]

Thanx. Ain't it a nice speech? Especially the "industry" part...

[eramduasvezes]

feisty adj. - Irritable and looking for trouble.

Ok?

[goflow02]

Absolutely ok! And it seems to be a good idea to have a dictionary by my side... Thinking about it...

[lucyintheskyoh]

Who needs a dictionary when you've got helpfull, English-speaking Youtubers!:)

Great speech by Eddie, and Neil is the man!

[PhillaBong4Me]

amazing, all of it, retrospective of his life or Rock and roll induction would take so much just to show the man all the respect he deserves

[verbaud]

I love people who make me puke and laff and oversleep, and miss appointments, who make me sing and play til both my hands and throat are bloody, who let me cry to poetry, who are unflinching kick ass rockers who can pull out a lullaby in front of a dying fire at 5am and make me want to be alive. I love people like that who've been there for most of my life, always over my shoulder urging me onward. I love Neil Young! Thanx, Eddie, I love you too, man!

[vdzz]

Looking at this, it looks like a retrospective of Neil's career.  Ah, but it had just begun!

[grungesponge489]

Eddie Vedder's been up at that podium so many times, for The Ramones, R.E.M. and, of course, Neil Young, but I wonder if he will induct Pearl Jam... lol

[arnaldo1124]

jajajajaja

[YJ4]

You forgot Dewy Cox!

[yahowa57]

Thirteen years down the road after this and The Man is STILL vital!

[Nilyang]

El más grande!!!!!!!!....lo máximo!!!

[rsohlich]

Neil Young is the best! A genius.

[fans550]

nice to see and glad he is still here with us love you Neil

[SundayMorninEveryDay]

.. the Godfather

[benirras03]

cojonudo! Love it, love them, love NY

[tage92]

Great!

at 02:50 he looks like Elton John xD

[BakerFan93211]

can someone post the

track listing 2 the songs playing when it comes on

[subtlefuge]

"BakerFan93211 (3 months ago)

can someone post the track listing 2 the songs playing when it comes on"

It starts out with a live version of "Mr. Soul" and then goes into a quick snippet of "Broken Arrow" faded with "The Loner" and then a longer clip from "Cinnamon Girl." This is followed by a live CSN&Y version of "Down by the River." Neil originally did the first 2 with Buffalo Springfield, not sure whether the live version of "Mr. Soul" is Buffalo Springfield or solo. Hope this helps.

[jojulene]

Thanks, you're the best, because they're the best :)

Positive vibes

[BRICOlagessss]

Simply a legend

[btl743]

Awesome.

[Kingmidget12]

I hope I'm part of the popular demand! :) Thanks for sharing...more rock and roll history that needs to be seen. Thank you Neil and thanks Eddie...You BOTH mean so much to me.

[arretedemetanner]

the man is an epic example of the human mind,body and spirit

long may he run, though nothing will ever stop him from evolving,changing,shapeshiftin­g,reforming,restarting or growing,even after his spirit outlives his body
