If Neil had only written two songs, this and Powderfinger he would still be one of the greatest songwriters of all time. The fact they are on the same album and not even his greatest album says all you need to know about the genius that is Neil Young.

Couldn’t agree more. Add to what you say that both songs have never been recorded “properly”, that is in a studio version. Thrasher, in fact, has never been recorded elsewhere, not even in concert; an ordinary effort, to him. Yes, definitely one the greatest musical genius of the rock century.

i would put lyrics from "after the gold rush" in the mix, ~lyin in a burned out basement with a full moon in my eyes/ hopin for replacements when the sun burst thru the sky/there was a band playin in my head & i felt like gettin high/ thinkin about what a friend had said i was hopin it was a lie.../thinkin about what a friend had said...i was hoping it was a lie.~ love seeing pics of him & Dylan together, they're both from up there in the frozen food section...& yeah, ive seen those thrashers & combines up in Minnesota, how Young puts that in as metaphor for the inevitable, that is gold...

Always loved the song, but didn't he 'borrow' the melody from Dylan's Love Minus Zero? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYvdqoWZrriagZo

When i was 14, a teacher we had, a subsitute really, showed me this. I was going straight to the Punk/rock way. But god damn, i never forget that, and Neil has been with me since those days. This song really is stuck in my soul, and Neil as well of course.

yeah, about that age, gettin high with my friends, all Led Zep heads,& a neighbor girl invited us over, sat us down & put Neil on a old turntable, yeah," who is this?" & i also love that he's sellin all his old stuff & stream-lining , for that time "to give what's mine"

A fully trainhopping punk girl told my hippie @$$ about this somg at the Ocala Rainbow Gathering in 2006. We went camp to camp collecting lyrics in a no internet environment to play it on an acoustic stage. I loved her and the song before even hearing the original.

long live King Neil. he doesn't have to apologize for forgetting the lyrics because he is The King, he invented cool.

They certainly aren't the easiest lyrics to remember, even if he did write it. He handled it well.

This song doesn't seem to get the credit it deserves. Apart from Neil's well known songs, this to me is none special song. Bit of a folkie one but great song none the less, and i rally enjoy playing and trying to memorise the great lyrics in this song. Long Live Neil. Greendale was also one of my favourite albums even if it was later in his career. Awesome storied album and was fortunate enough to see the live show at the Sydney Myer Music Bowl Malborne 2003

Yes, true. I suspect that some critics got caught up in the commentary on CSN, not realizing that the song is a masterpiece of imagery.

Saw him at Rod Laver arena with Crazy Horse in Melbourne, 2012. What a great concert and the setlist was awesome

I remember working in a record store/head shop in 79. I played this album for the patrons until the groves wore out. Rock n Roll will never die.

As beautiful here as it was during the Rust Never Sleeps tour of 1978. I was very fortunate to have seen one of his LA. Forum shows that year. Many of you were there I am sure.

Once in a while I hear a song for the first time, and it stuns me. I hit the repeat button and play it over and over. This happened to me with "Thrasher." Even though this song is specifically about his relationship with CSN at the time, it is universal. I think it speaks to anyone who has searched for a way of life true to themselves, which usually means leaving others behind.

One of his best tunes. It's played in a Dennis Hooper movie, while he's working a trasher. Have always loved it. 🆗✔️👍🏻

i wonder who really writes some of neils songs cause they sure ring true in me, but neil aint me and he seems to mix some great ideas , with no idea why they work. he did come from the laural canyon cia days. you cant say nothing about the dead without including neil and manson. he is a great story teller, i can smell the hay he hides behind when the thrashers went by.
