His influence on the latter caused some to dub him the "Godfather of Grunge".<br /> <br />Young lives on his ranch in La Honda, California.LynyrdSkynyrdBandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04603696815079837528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001083595175224919.post-41638772820321898752011-03-19T18:25:38.742-04:002011-03-19T18:25:38.742-04:00JOSH...

H...Personally, I really respect Neil as a musician.<br />He exhibits a LOT of confidence.<br /><br />Neil places "over-all performance" (the music carrying it's message), above perfectionism.<br />He'll frequently leave mistakes on his recordings... for the sake of the greater whole.<br />Vocals slightly off-pitch... guitars "out" (as musician's say)... playing non-traditional note choices (i.e.,mistakes), etc, etc. <br />It's just a raw... "I'm gonna play my ass off... and if I make a mistake... who cares" attitude.<br />"Here I am... like it or not".<br />It takes a lot of confidence in yourself to operate that way.<br />Not many musician's are that self-confident.<br />Most guys now-a-days have techs in the studio for hours, manipulating the music, till it's (artificially) perfect... not Neil.<br /><br />Neil will also waltz on stage with anyone, anytime, anyplace... and tackle any song... unrehearsed.<br />"Have guitar will travel".<br />Again... that takes a lot of nuts.<br />Most musicians, would want to know the 2-3 songs they're "sitting-in" on, 2 weeks in advance, so they can practice every note... as not to look stupid on stage.<br />Not Neil... let'a play mofo... "if I make a mistake... who cares... I'll just play even louder". LOLOL<br /><br />I've seen Neil make a serious blunder... and then when the chorus comes around again... he'll <i>intentionally</i> make the same mistake a second time, as if it's part of the song!!!!<br />He's got balls... if nothing else.<br />Greg Allman did that frequently... making mistakes a new part of the song.<br /><br />Also... LOL<br />Neil has proven he needs no one but himself.<br />He'll walk from any band, if he feels the notion.<br />Again... it takes guts, to just up and leave an established sitaution.<br />It's not for the faint of heart.<br />Most musicians wait their whole life for an "established situation".<br /><br />Massey Hall... Neil waltzes on-stage alone... pulls-up a stool... whips out an acoustic guitar... and lays down a powerful performance by himself.<br />Again... the guy's gut sack.<br /><br />That's my take on neil Young.<br />I see him do stuff without flinching, that would make the average amateur (and the vast majority most professionals) cringe.LynyrdSkynyrdBandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04603696815079837528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001083595175224919.post-85007946037276108172011-03-19T14:03:24.059-04:002011-03-19T14:03:24.059-04:00Bob said>>>>

"music is like planting a field. Sometimes you have to let that field lie dormant (un-planted) for a season, to make it fertile again".<br /><br />As a musician... I couldn't agree more. <br />Sometimes you have to put things aside for a while... for new inspiration to strike.<br />You can't beat a dead horse... or, a dead "crazy horse", as it were.
