Needle and the Damage Done (Neil Young cover) - Mike Masse

[MrRocktilludrop3]

REAL TALENT!!! From a guy in a pizza parlor who,d have thunk!!! Business must be through the roof, I,ll take a meat lovers with extra cheese and a seat in the front row !!! and I will take my time eating it. Mike! you the man!!! keep up what your doing, it really works man.

[trekkie369]

yeah man great music and great cover of the music. I have added so many to my favorites list and still need to add more. I think they're so great cause you dont just sing you feel the songs too. at least it seems that way to me. I subscribed and cant wait for new performances to hit the site. keep jamming bro.

[lancetop]

Mike, I hope you realize how many people on youtube adore your music.

[nosdog136]

This guy can sing!

[88chevcaprice]

Holy smokes, soo good man!

[Jakupandreasen1]

AMAZINGLY PLAYED!!!

[ZiGGMASTA]

Every time I hear this whether its from the orignal artist or a cover artist. It makes me cry every time. I too had a heroin addiction for a while, the damage done was so wicked. It put me in the hospital twice in one week. Thanks for this... great job btw!

[123zxc]

Excellent!!!

[astrofunkyness]

damn bro, you have a great voice. i listened to you cover led zeppelin, not easy to cover those vocals. and neil young.. wow. you have a really polished voice. I like it. love your taste in music as well, I like all of your covers.

[queenville]

i know i shouldn't be saying this but i think your version even slightly better than the original

[childers6067]

i have been watching all your videos for the past week even your originals and i have yet to find a flaw in anything!

[wwwinans]

Well done.

[syahirahsazali]

Amazing.

[low72]

i raise this marijuana cigarette to you, good sir.

[yynnmmbb]

Holy Shit ! You nailed this song. This is the best cover version that I have ever heard. Since I just stumbled across your channel, I am going to check out your other songs. Way to go !

[ruffynest]

superb performance.

[uplaterthanishouldbe]

I've been a fan of these songs all my life but you have a way of making them almost new again. Thanks

[Sidney10MT]

HOLY FUCK YOU'RE FUCKING RAD. THE ONLY ARTIST WHO DIDNT RUIN THIS SONG.

[SleepyBridgeTroll]

You should do a cover of Neil Young's Don't Let it Bring you Down! I have a feeling you would do extremely good at it because you sang this and Old Man so well.

[BrettNathanielBurke]

great job dude. great job!

[derglegnartertar]

Dude your really good holy shit!

[ziggerxcore]

Mike, any chance you could do "Down By the River"? I really think that would be a great one for you to do.

[plonker00765]

this is great, almost on a par with neil young,best cover i've seen of this number,

thanks for the post,very enjoyable.

[microdon2]

Another spot-on cover. Excellent voice and playing. Next time I'm in Utah for skiing I'm timing it to see you at Pie Pizza!  One question - no Bob Dylan on your playlist?? And only four Stones songs? And Billy Idol - "Eyes Without a Face", and Smashing Pumpkins, "Thirty Three", and "Today". Thanks!

[marktaylor23]

wow your voice is excellent, and a great song.

[dylan3058]

great cover

[Sunambra]

Loved it amazing version

[rockerduff1231]

I can't stand neil young (I think he's just a Bob Dylan copy/wannabe) but I like your version because you're awesome. I wish I could play the guitar =(

Speaking of Dylan, could you and your mate do "I Shall Be Released"? I like the version from the "Essential Bob Dylan" album.

[yerboyfloyd]

Interesting to hear a Neil Young song sung in tune. Neil would be jealous.

[DrayHN]

wow incredible voice

[majortom1953]

You sound ..great all the clips I hear from you is like your in my song list

[mcolquitt]

When did Louis C.K. Start singing and playing guitar? All kidding aside you my friend are an awesome talent. On a side note your rendition of "A Man I'll never be" was beautiful. I knew Brad Delp (I am from NH he lived a few houses down from my sister in Atkinson) he would have been pleased!!

[keymankeys1960]

man it was all right on

[miwaro12]

i would like to see you do some nick drake

[mrshyguy40]

Hope you guys don't get tired of hearing this...But...You are Fantastic, probably the best cover on YouTube. You need a manager and get exposure...DON'T WASTE THE GIFT YOU BOTH HAVE!

[Pedroforprez1]

Mr. Masse.

I really enjoy the way you cover these great songs especially

Neil Young! I'm from Edmonton, Alberta and we are proud of

our Canadian style of music and you truely do this song justice with your smooth voice.

Mr. Mike Masse

I have a request for you and your partner Jeff Hall.

Could you play these 2 songs from Lynyrd Skynyrd which are:

1. Simple Man

2. Free Bird

Please reply a small note about this

Thanks

[mikemassedotcom]

If you or anyone else would like to sit in on lead guitar, we'll happily do Free Bird. :)

[MysticVoyager]

Thank you for your quick reply. Yes I do admire your acoustic style and performance, you both are great artist. My best wishes to you on this Christmas and New Year.

Greetings from MEXICO

[xxkylexxredhead]

@mikemassedotcom i would more than happily sit in on lead guitar. that song is very fun and i live near salt lake city. if you guys wanna do it i would be glad to join in

[DurtyHarrys]

@mikemassedotcom

100% pure quality cover

man,god bless you ! wish you all the best

[gidiulin]

purtroppo per venirti ad ascoltare dovrei fare troppa strada bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rafavenezuela]

Amigo... you are so good.

Keep doing this great Job... I am listening !!

[PHMI16]

that sounds like an important job...cool you can find the time to play these old school songs in the evening hours...I was just wondering, do you ever play Lou Reed songs? 'cause I think you could play a mean acoustic "Coney Island Baby"...but that's just me

more greetz

[mikemassedotcom]

Never any needles, nope.  Some minor experimentation with various herbs in high school/college is all.

[mikemassedotcom]

I'm a public defender by day, so yeah, I've met literally hundreds of drug addicts as a part of my job. So I've definitely seen the effects firsthand. So I guess you weren't wrong about that!

[liverbird66]

public defender by day guitar hero by night

[PHMI16]

@liverbird66

hahaha

He's like the Batman of Rock and Rollah!!

[netuottam]

18 stars man wow that was good

[aliwhitwell]

Superb. A great song and you cover it so well. So reminded me of Bert Jansch's song Needle of Death. Thanks for posting. More please. 5 stars.

[robrippen]

Every song you sing could truly be mistaken for the original artist by someone listening in the background. At least all that Ive listened to so far. I like to listen to covers to make myself feel beter about my own playing. I certainly dont feel beter after listining to you. You are very entertaing to listen to. Great voice and ability to emulate the artist youre covering. ***** Great thing about youtube is getting to hear performers like yourself who you would never hear otherwise. Thanks

[prayerEwind]

Mike, Keep the songs coming, We are out here and We are listening !

[chickadee2]

Your wife is a very lucky women to have you.

[the1spen]

Going on my favorites for sure, That guitar sounds so cool.

[ledzep2go]

Amazing, man... dead on with the guitar (what's the trick for hitting all of Neil's acoustic licks so accurately ?), and your voice is awesome too!

[blame14me]

OMG my second helping of Mike as well and I'm left dazed and not confused at all.You gotta be the best cover artist on the big red Tube.Your voice is pure and rings like a tonal bell!!!And again your guitar is perfection.Don't worry about this going to your head it should.

[chickadee2]

Man you have a beautiful voice.

[heynow676]

this song is Baller

[mcourt13]

second video ive seen by you, i can tell im going to watch more, its an inspiration to watch you perform Mike, you do about 75% of the tunes im working on and plan to perform in the future... Thanks for putting these up.... brilliant.

[reddiefreddie1]

wow! I just came across some of your songs. You are really talented dude. Keep up the good work

[cabask]

Amazing !

[THALIDO]

[bluesyfr]
