Madman!! | Neil Young - Like a Hurricane | REACTION/REVIEW

[@user-bx1nr1xh1w]

His solos are painfully beautiful, raw and emotional.

[@bobschenkel7921]

Watching Neil live in concert is great because while he is ripping out some killer riffs on the guitar, he is stomping all around the stage in a controlled rage that is very entertaining to observe. He almost never stops moving, inspired by his music and something inside himself that is crying to get out. Songs such as "Like A Hurricane" are impetus for Neil to go a little ...over the edge.

[@keithb.9189]

Neil revels in imperfection. He was grunge before there was grunge. He stumbles through his solos always landing on the right note somehow. It always sounds very unrehearsed. I have no idea what I'm trying to say.

[@ridemfast7625]

His singing sucks, his guitar playing is that of a 8 year old and yet that combination somehow makes Neils music amazing!

[@jonathanlocke6404]

I could be wrong about this, but I think he usually just cut several full takes of the leads, then eventually just picked the one he liked best, whether it had mistakes in it or not. I don't think there was a lot of editing a solo together from different parts of different takes. That may add to the aura it being live and in the moment...

[@rossmacintosh5652]

Keith you said it well.

[@wimve4719]

@@rossmacintosh5652 Agree with you on that one. Keith's very right. Perfection doesn't count, it's raw emotion. Kind of reminds me of David Gilmour of Pink Floyd who also makes his guitar sing and emote emotions ... but then, David is a perfectionist while Neil is emotion in himself ... I like both so much ...

[@John_Locke_108]

He knows that if he keeps playing the same note enough times it will eventually sound epic.

"I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream"

[@kengunter6903]

He's underrepresented as a guitarist. Just the total package. I think he could b put in the HOF as a musician, song writer,& as a influencer of musicians back then,now, & in the future. Greatness all around!!!!!!!!!

[@4tuneagent]

He is already in the RRHOF twice.. Once as a Solo Artist, and also again with Buffalo Springfield..

Everyone knows his name, but still he is under-apprecatied. Countless songs. Incredible musician.

[@brentfreeland5834]

Check out his song Cortez the Killer from the Live Weld album released in 91. Probably his best rendition, in my opinion.

One of the things I like about this song is that the guitar solos come at you in waves.

[@otisdylan9532]

Great song, and "Powderfinger" is a great choice for your next Neil song.

[@ksborder]

Always my favorite Neil Young song! "I wanna love you, but I'm getting blown away"

[@threehourtourofficial479]

Love your response reviews. So good to see you discovering the greatest music in modern history. Please check out Cheap Tricks first album. Taxman Mr. Thief, Oh Candy, and certainly Mandecello. You’re gonna love it.

[@mojorider8455]

hell yeah, love Neil....and react to "Powderfinger", a great song and story telling

[@charliecochran3035]

You've done well to do more of his electric songs. His guitar olaying is awesomely dirty. Youve gotta get to Ragged Glory. I recomment Farmer John, because nobody else will, and maybe Love To Burn or Mansion On A Hill

[@gaylemitchell5881]

He can take you away with just his lyrics

[@bobdelp2023]

SEE WHAT I MEANT WHEN I SAID LOTSAAAA 7-10 MIN. BANGERS???? 😊 FYYYYRRRRR!💯 AND THEN HE PLAYS HIS OWN STRANGE CHORDS, GUITAR GENIUS BIZ! 😊

[@mythicsin3083]

The live version from the late 70’s is amazing

[@ianhamilton2035]

Wait till you see him with Crazy Horse Live!! Super killer!! Lucky enough to have seen him 5 times!!!! All-time favorite!!! 😃

[@user-gu1zb6cw6t]

The rawness you spoke of is part of what made Neil "The Godfather of Grunge". Try the amazing mirror songs My My Hey Hey and Hey Hey My My. One is mellower and the other tears the bark off nearby trees!

[@markwilliams5606]

The Whole album is Very good. If you ever get a chance to see Neil Young in concert. Go! 🐴🌄

[@MikeOstrowski-iq8wf]

🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 Great reaction as always Biz…💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@joelliebler5690]

Hurricane blew me away as one of my all time favorite guitar solos. Another hidden gem is Neil’s song called country Girl which is on the album Deja Vu which is a CSN&Y classic album. Biz, you will love that one too!

[@DrStrangelove3891]

I saw Neil Young live at the Torhout/Werchter festival in the early nineties. He broke his guitar string and put on a new one and he never stopped playing while he was doing this, the song just went on. It was amazing.

[@randychester2754]

I first heard this killer song on the radio the day it was released on the album "American Stars 'n Bars" in May 1977. I was camping out with my first love, and that night was my first taste of alcohol as well as my first sexual experience. Unforgettable night, and hearing this song always brings me back.

[@tonydelapa1911]

Seeing Neil live is 90 min of WTF is he doing now?! 🔥🔥So good. Thanks for getting to the electric side of Neil, Biz. It is a deep pond!

[@jonathanlocke6404]

I think there was a sort of promotional film of Neil playing this that aired on the old "Midnight Special" television show when this came out. It was like a video before they had videos. You can probably find it on KZbin. I remember watching it and just being transfixed...

[@kensmith8152]

Neil always had a great mastery of the melodic in his playing which is something I try to put into my playing!🎶🎶🎶

[@scottstewart5784]

People think he's not a great guitar player - when people like us love his playing (and composition) so much more. Jeff Beck is a virtuoso - I can't name one song of his.

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

HEY HEY MY MY ROCK AND ROLL CAN NEVER DIE!

[@stpnwlf9]

A lot of the character of the song is more than just Neil - it is the primary electric guitar he uses, which he calls 'Old Black'. This guitar has been so heavily customized and modified over the years that it has a completely unique tone. It even has it's own Wikipedia entry - truly a one of a kind instrument and Neil uses it perfectly!

[@hongfang2348]

Biz, you have become an aficionado of this era of pop music. I know this when you describe Neil's music..spot on. The rawness would later be captured by the grunge sound.

[@paulprendergast3184]

I've seen Neil live a bunch of times, including with CSNY on their summer 1974 tour and his Rust Never Sleeps tour. HIs performance of this song at the latter show is one of my concert highlights. Giant fan blowing on him while he wails away on his guitar.

[@lisarainbow9703]

Next Neil Young? How about, "After the Gold Rush"? So you can hear Neil on piano...😁

[@tonydelapa1911]

I believe Biz did After the Gold Rush a few weeks ago.

I actually once timed my blunt about 18 minutes before I knew the solo/instrumental would be pumping through the speakers.. You know, for maximum effect.. I’m smart like that..

[@mrnobody9104]

If you want to react to a great softer side of Neil check out his After the Goldrush album. Probably what I consider his best IMO. I do love when he does it dirty though!!!! Have seen him numerous times and it's always an adventure.

Much Like Bon Dylan, Neil has one of the most extensive catalogues of any musician.

[@ridemfast7625]

This song is amazing!

[@jaybo2023]

Thank you once again for your reaction to a Neil tune. I've been a fan of NY for over 40 years. I catch myself in the position you mentioned...I lean more towards his rock side... but I do enjoy the acoustic folky sound...the country sound ...the bluesy sound...the Motown sound ... It depends on my mood what sound fits the day. If you want to go off the beaten path of Neil music. He was in a group in the mid/late 70's called The Ducks Neil has their album High Flyin out now . Neil tunes that they do that I enjoy are Sail Away and Are you Ready for the Country...Non-Neil tunes that are incledible are Gypsy Wedding , Silver wings and Younger Days...Their isn't a bad song on the album.

[@KelleyStrzelczyk]

More. " Dont' let it bring you down" is a cool one to sing. "After the Goldrush" is another great. "The loner"

Neil can kill the electric guitar🤘❤️

[@clifton8929]

Thank you, Big Soul Biz, for playing LIKE A HURRICANE - It's a pure tour de force of electric guitar feedback and excellent lyrics. The song. You can feel the intense desire, which has powerful themes of love and loss. It's a beautiful, classic, full-tilt rocker that stands alone. Seeing him perform it life leaves you drained. It's so ethereal. He seems possessed while he's playing, lost in the groove. Thank you again for the fantastic music and masterful commentary - I'm blown away.

Saw Neil in 1997, during this song he layed down with his guitar and played that way for a while. Love his music.

[@brentfreeland5834]

I heard this song on the radio when it was first released and it gave me chills, and it still does to this day. Not only because of the guitar work but the backing music is amazing. He can really make his guitar cry and sing. It was originally released on the album titled American Stars and Bars in 1977. ✌️

[@billreilly7693]

I saw Neil twice at Red Rocks in Colorado, he absolutely jammed this tune.I was in the 3rd row that made it even more bad ass. 🥁☮☘

[@geobol7603]

Neil Young plays some of the dirtiest guitar- check out Cortez the Killer- anything from Live Rust!

[@hunter1961100]

And to this day on Wednesday, he goes over Stephen Stills house, and they play for nobody but themselves

[@mikecaetano]

At points the solos sound like they're on the verge of falling apart in a pile of sour notes, until the next note pulls them back towards the starting lick, and it sounds almost ad-libbed until he plays them that way live too and you realize he ain't messing around. Those really high pitched squeals in the solos are called string pinches. Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top fills "La Grange" with them too. When you're ready to turn back towards his folksier side, check out some of these Neil Young classics -- "Sugar Mountain", "Only Love Can Break Your Heart", "Don't Let It Bring You Down", and "Out on the Weekend".

[@patriceschmitz521]

Powderfinger

[@user-hk5wf5lg8j]

first of all, I love you man you get it. Niels, slow songs are sparse, but appreciated in his concerts. But believe me when I tell you, there’s nothing better than a grungy three hours of Neil Young. His most recent long ass masterpiece is walk like a giant. I’ve seen him at least 10 times. Probably the most interesting concert was his Greendale concert, in which he fronted a a crew of actors which played out his songs themes of the devil coming to a town in I made a place called Greendale and causes havoc and of course there’s the save the earth theme, which is one of his constants

[@cynergy4]

Not everyone "gets" Neil, glad that you do! Some call him sloppy, I call him hypnotic and mesmerizing, especially live. The way that he goes into a trance-like state and gets lost during his solos, and takes us with him. Love his sort of fragile sounding vocals too. I do prefer the version from Live Rust. Watching him perform live is a trip! Anything from Live Rust should be next, it's one of the best concert movies ever! "Comes A Time" is my personal fave but take your pick.
