Neil Young with Guns N' Roses ~ Don't Let It Bring You Down

26th Annual Bridge School Benefit 10-21-12

[@Schetzzer]

Two idols, one microphone. Just beautiful...

[@oberonoberon9340]

right on mate right on

[@68corvette08]

After listening to Axl's singing in this, it does kind of sound like Neil Young's voice. So, whenever I hear Axl's voice from now on, it will remind me of Neil Young's voice.

[@Io-Io-Io]

This guy has a great voice! he can sing anything AND IT ALWAYS FITS - GREAT PERFORMANCE NEIL AND AXL-JUST FABULOUS!

[@41arcoiris]

it's a dream to see and hear gnr and neil young together :) amazing, perfect :) I do not understand why people constantly attack axl rose .... why viewing the videos of guns and roses? leave the past... and let other people leave to!!!!

[@pablops2012]

Awesome!!! Two amazing singers together!!!!

[@billrybicki9322]

Neil Young: "I do two takes on a song in the studio. After that I might improve technically a little, but I can't keep putting my feeling and soul into take #10"

[@muziktrkr]

Thanks for putting that up - plus it's a rare one for Neil to do.

[@neilfan1971]

As a life long fan of Neil & GnR & Axl with his current band this is something I never in my life expected to see & I loved it.......I hope Axl gets healthy & gets his voice back because it would be a shame to see such a talent lost. Bigger picture............this is a wonderful cause all these musicians were gathered for & I applaud Neil & Peggy for all they have given back.

[@dancinkarenita]

This was so beautiful... I'll never forget this moment!

[@CelestialWoodway]

I love Neil. Better than expected from Axl.

[@DeborahYIP]

Tks a million for such a treasure!

[@MNGS717]

Very cool, hearing this kind of made me come back to this world a little bit, Neil and Axl both sound great, and respects to the band

[@kirkpatrickframer]

two of my all time favorites. good things happen when axl teams up with another singer.

[@Axlander]

This is going to be one of the most popular Guns N' Roses videos on youtube. Stunning performance.

[@MarieCauyae]

Two Legends! Amazing! Congrats! Guns N' Roses Rocks!and to the other Performer.. You bring joy and help to all those children.:) ♥!! God Bless You all!

[@rozytrixter]

Two old rockers that I used to love- sure they may have overindulged and worn with age, but they don't sound too bad at all, and I'm really glad they're still alive.

[@maximumpain1]

Honestly this is the most amazing thing ive heard in quite some time!

[@Worshipsatch]

Axl is the best and most unique singer! Neil is amazing too!

[@TEAMOAXL1962]

Axl the best......I Love my King.

[@reginaltkoralewski2944]

Gdzie i z kim już nie grał Neil- moc( słucham go od ponad 50 lat i ciągle zaskakuje )!👍💪🤠🌹🍁🎸🎹

[@sergejg2]

Awesome!!! That's my favorite Neil Young song! Really good live version from GNR!

[@TEAMOAXL1962]

Axl el mejor....Te amo mi REY.

[@taffeta125]

Thank you for uploading this. It makes me happy and so does Ron's headgear.

[@TheK9Nanny]

Thank you for posting! I was there Saturday night and was so bummed I missed this!

[@jamesbundy8114]

Axl sounds just like young when he sings it on the album ... Exactly like him

[@marcillioficino4663]

I hope that's sarcasm.

[@41arcoiris]

omg!!! you was there? i love gnr and i love neil young..... and i love this kind of concerts with special people.....for me it was amazing...... God bless those artists offering special moments for those young people

[@sacomusic]

I don't understand all the hate for Axl, he actually sounds a bit like Neil did in the early 70's here and they sound pretty sweet together. Two legends share the stage here for this awesome tune and a good cause, what's not to like about that? Thanks for the upload, much appreciated!

[@baraaza]

that is some cool shit

[@JimSVoit]

This is pretty awesome....thanks for posting!!!

[@jameshamrick2778]

AWESOME!

[@yerman81]

NEIL IDOL!!!

[@ValeryBastos]

wonderfuuuuuuuulllllllllllllll

[@cookinsdabest]

dont let the comments bring you down, axl

[@scampalong]

I doubt he sends much time reading these... busy guy

[@johnmadrid519]

Here's a song that's guaranteed to bring you right down...

[@Malibuheaven1]

I'm looking for the "LOVE" button. Like just isn't enough. Thank you so much for posting!

[@MrFREDAXL]

GODS !!!

[@mlmk7003]

I didnt like at first but Axl sounds just like Neil Young so much, good job Ax

[@andreapalma5657]

What a surprise!

[@GNRnin89]

I like it. I like it. I fookin' like it!

[@REBELANGELISM]

holy shit this is amazing!!!

[@naguiat1]

i love when neil sits in with his guests artists in these bridge school shows. the best one was when Neil sat in with Paul Mccartney. wished he sat in with Metallica when they played the Bridge School a few years ago. -this was really good-too bad Axl had Strep throat :-(

[@Worshipsatch]

But Axl still sang really well!

[@VipersCave1]

2:30 looks like Axl is playing Neil's guitar... LoL

[@psicopatero]

I really, REALLY love this video!!!! Pretty f*ckin amazing!!! And I don't care what the people say...

[@apoet-om1wg]

Old man lying by the side of the road With the lorries rolling by Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load And the buildings scrape the sky Cold wind ripping down the alley at dawn And the morning paper flies Dead man lying by the side of the road With the daylight in his eyes Don't let it bring you down It's only castles burning Find someone who's turning And you will come around Blind man running through the light of the night With an answer in his hand Come on down to the river of sight And you can really understand Red lights flashing through the window in the rain Can you hear the sirens moan? White cane lying in a gutter in the lane If you're walking home alone Don't let it bring you down It's only castles burning Find someone who's turning And you will come around Don't let it bring you down It's only castles burning Just find someone who's turning And you will come around Don't let it bring you down It's only castles burning Just find someone who's turning And you will come around

[@Irishbeermonk]

Neil from my early life. Axel from later life. Iconic

[@pameladavis9711]

Considering Axl had strep throat,I think he did a pretty good job.

[@Axis7love]

Try to imagine if Axl sing with old rasp voice....

[@halderso]

Love it. Hard to tell from this video, but I hope Axl's voice was better this 2nd night than the first.

[@Worshipsatch]

From this video I think he sounded awesome...

[@ryangettig274]

Bucking Frilliant:)

[@kennethkeepsitreal64]

Love that Neil powns Miles Kennedy

[@JunkyardHounds]

true that

[@j_freed]

Nice GNRY moment.

[@RAMSEYM2402]

You can't really judge a singer's vocals on KZbin. the sound quality isn't the same.

[@billenplum]

The sound here is really bad. Because of YT and because of the bad recording as well.

[@legerdemain5]

It was so frickin cold outside up in the grass!

[@8xMissOctober]

nice commentary by axl at the end. who would have figured

[@richardmoores]

Is this the song featured in the movie American Beauty? It sure sounds like it.

[@carloslack]

Man, think about it, Axl called up Neil Young!!! It show that at least he has a very good taste :)

[@ChickieHaute]

I believe Axl was just getting over strep throat at this time, that may be why his voice sounds off. Saw him on the Jimmy Kimmel show and they went into details about him being sick with strep.

[@majorsmythe1]

Neil Young, one of Canadas best slumming it with the "2 album wonder " Rose. Young even at his age still shows power. Axl really was a LV on 2 good albums. Never saw a guy suck so much for doing so little.

[@2rockergurl]

Axel Rose is the Pillsbury Dough Boy.......

[@kshepard52]

This is what it sounds like when you use a solid steel pick an eighth inch thick and big enough to hold in your fist.

[@h879xx]

Agreed. How long did the last GNR album take to make?! And it was just ok. It's been 5 years too. Should have released another and be writing their 3rd as this line up. zzzzzz

[@lucilwinchester]

Who is Axl?

[@sasul]

where's axl ?

[@darlalong1957]

This suckered.

[@MNGS717]

Then I guess that KZbin doesn't owe you your own personal happy ending

[@disco.lemonade]

What? Axl lost his amazing voice, but he still can sing. People hate too much on Axl. I bet if he would have his voice back, people would still bash the guy for nothing

[@Powderfinger07]

Neil sounds great anyway...

[@Worshipsatch]

And Axl too.

[@zepeh1]

o.O

[@90125ify]

This band dont have the fucking talent to wash Neils socks!Neil Young a fucking genius.

[@JunkyardHounds]

he had a strep throat not trying to imitate neils

[@t-larsen]

axl had a strep throat, give him a break.

[@marveldccomicmoviereviewre7188]

Axl

[@jayschraub7984]

...Sid Vicious??

[@niklaber]

money

[@onelove1968]

love both neil and axl but their voices just don't work together on this song. perhaps axl should've been singing in a much lower key instead of trying to imitate neils voice. more importantly, it's really wonderful to see these guys performing together to support a GREAT program. I bet the kids absoltuely loved it.

[@millionvivy]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha poor ol' axl hahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha

[@enriqueluisguevaraquijada1570]

COME THE SAME THING IN ROCK IN RIO, LAS VEGAS 2012 WE HAVE TO BE HONEST AND UNDERSTAND THAT AXL IS SHIT NOWADAYS

[@pkj77]

All Respect to Axl, this cirkus crap he´s running these dayz, shouldn´t have used the name Guns N´ Roses...sure he bought the rights....but Slash was and always will be the original sound....without the pair Axl/ Slash...no Guns N´Roses....he ( Axl) should´ve called the band Axl & Band or plain Axl Rose...to get my respect back completely

[@edwardhayes3113]

I came here for gnr… not that other guy.

[@Leonslugocki]

Axl kept the band Guns & Roses going while the others succumbed to drug abuse an alcoholism ! I don't blame Axl its pretty difficult to work with junkies.......................

[@billrybicki9322]

As someone who does a pretty fair, to really good, repertoire of Neil Young songs, Axl Rose was an embarrassment. At first I thought he was going to murder the entire song. I'd love to know what made Neil lower himself to make this appearance. Probably some record company executive asked him for a really big favor. This was worth NOT doing. "HATING"? Yes, I hate what was done to this song. I know all of Neil's innovative tunings and the feeling he puts into his performances. Axl killed it

[@Worshipsatch]

As someone who has performed a lot of Axl songs, me and almost all other comments on this video think Axl did a great job, this is how he sings, always in an original touch to his covers. Neil was ducking the highest note in the chorus which Axl hit both times so technically you could even say he was better.

[@billrybicki9322]

You need to change idol there Chris. If you knew anything about Neil Young he wouldn't want to be anyone's "idol". And your selecting Axl Rose speaks for itself.

[@Ollie00000008]

I was gonna say... Id rather hear Neil Young play by himself after listening to that. Which ill do now. Sorry GNR :(

[@marcillioficino4663]

Oy vey.

[@makwabid69]

Somebody SLAP Axl, please...

[@marveldccomicmoviereviewre7188]

makwabid69 what you meand he was great are thats what i think

[@revolutionday1]

Sounds like a cat, being dragged down the street by its tail.

[@HankTheDwarf]

Axl sounds like the old pervert from Family Guy now.

[@jcscores5007]

Absolutely no reason for that many acoustic guitars.

[@michaelliber]

Jordan Cmusic Compensating for the lack of a certain Slash

[@billenplum]

The Bridge School Benefit was always an acoustic gig.

[@senorvemafest]

oh, and that's the final word on that? lol whatever

[@galvaobertazzi6985]

what a shame

[@mssolomito]

Why is Tommy Stinson still hanging around with this clown?

[@kingrobert1st]

What a fucking mess!

[@bernardfox9078]

The guns and roses singer is shite. Neil shows him how to sing. Owned.

[@1985cactus]

Neil didn't need this shit.

[@AidenWylieIsSoWonderful]

God that's awful. They've ever got a guy who wants to look like Slash.

[@lreyay]

haha neil still has a way better voice than axl even though he's 16 years older!

[@Worshipsatch]

Better voice is subjective if it's your choice. Range and technique wise Axl is objectively better.

[@matthewfrie1758]

This is so stupid

[@JunkyardHounds]

this band sucks ? lol... a band that has bumblefoot, dj ashba, richard fortus , tommy stinson and dizzy reed sucks ??? lol u may prefer the original, but this band is fuckin awsome and talented ... dont blame them for axl's shitty voice with a strep throat

[@karyben3686]

Horrible!!!!

[@Nummymuffincocobutter]

Prefer the original Guns N Roses..don't like this imitation.They should call the band The Axl Rose Project instead...
