One day, neil and Paul will no longer be here. Surely that's a justifiable reason to phone in sick at work

These 2 men have written some of the most heartfelt melodies of all time....

I love that Neil is coming from the heart rather than "reading" like most do. Soo cool and real.

"I have a lot of respect for Paul McCartney as a man for holding together a great family through the times of Rock and Roll - and through all of the success and through all of the swirling of....I have a lot of respect for that" - that part chokes me up. Paul and Linda were so determined to achieve a balance between show biz and family, while so many marriages imploded, people had affairs, kids got hurt, shuffled around. Well done, Paul.

I loved that Neil talked about how much he loved the McCartney album from after the Beatles broke up. I love that album and I know exactly what Neil means about how simple yet epic it is. It’s just Paul McCartney playing every instrument. Drums, bass, multiple guitars, with a few harmonies from his wife. He recorded it on his farm in the Scottish hills, where he lived with his wife and family away from the world. So many good songs on it. And I definitely see how some of Neils music has that stripped down organic feel at that time. Dope ass clip

Paul McCartney is so deserving of this award.

Paul McCartney is a Musical Genius♥️🌟💙

“And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make...”

Paul McCartney makes me proud to be a Human Being.

Great induction by one of the best musicians in Rock n Roll, Neil Young.

Brought a tear to my eye to see all those photos of Paul and Linda. He loved her so much.... Paul's singing, writing, ear for melodies, charm, and musicianship were unmatched by ANYONE in RnR history. I have seen tons of UTube videos of The Beatles performing live and Paul is always rock solid. I saw him at the Kingdome in Seattle in 76 during his "Wings Over America" tour. I cried like a baby during Yesterday and the concert was awesome in every way. All seems so long ago....thank you Paul.

Paul McCartney is the greatest thing to ever happen to music

Paul is an incredible song writer, I see him as a bard of love songs and a beacon in the music industry

Paul has SO MANY accomplishments to be so very proud of and yes, Neil was right to acknowledge what a fantastic job he and Linda did of raising a family through those times some people would refer to and look down upon as "the drug years." They most definitely did a lot of things right and Paul is a man I admire, respect, and love very, very much. He's simply AMAZING.

Paul is a true icon

I grew up in the greatest music period, I love both Neil,and Paul! When I hear those Ole great tunes it takes me away to a peaceful time.

you really cannot get it any better than Neil Young inducting Paul McCartney into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame!

Just an observation, Paul McCartney as a solo artist charted more no. 1s than all other Beatles combined, with that, he was being pretty humble to induct John before himself in '94. Also, why do people always over analyze induction speeches? These are heart felt speeches from a perspective of a fan. Neil just told the entire world that Paul {and the Beatles} is the sole reason he became a musician, now a super star that contributed almost as much to rock as McCartney himself, that's a big deal.

i love how straightforward Young is

That's Sir Paul McCartney. My dad introduced me to his music and fan ever since - 1982 - Does anyone remember Pipes of Peace?

i would say this is one of the best inducts ever. Simple and humble. Love it. With permission with the one little richard did to Otis redding, of course

"Band On The Run" is one of the very best songs of the early 1970's. Some very tasty guitar licks on that song. I always envisioned it as a Beatles song much like "A Day In The Life", but it was all Paul. Wings was pretty damn awesome, everything considered.

Neil and Paul -- both great songwriters.

im cryyyyyying paul i love you so much

The Get Back doc has me geeking out on all things Beatles. Very cool how Neil mentions Linda.

Funny that Neil praises all the beatles except ringo for their work on A Day in the Life when the drum part is arguably the most important piece and one of ringo's best performances

Paul is the icon of icons.

Very well articulated by Neil, and yes McCartney probably one of the greatest song writers of all time.

First song I ever remember hearing is "It Won't Be Long" from Meet The Beatles... blame my babysitter ! I was 5 years old. Mom had a tiny record player she never used...., and babysitter had left Meet The Beatles at house for a week... Changed my life.

Neil Young. McCartney. My two loves

The drums on a day in the life are unbelievable come on man give ringo his due what about rain..walrus..tomorrow never knows..and many more ringo played with taste and feel peace and love ringo

gotta love neil,he speaks his mind for sure.

The blessings joys and hopes these two men have gifted the world are infinite. As releva t in 2022 as in the late 60's and on. Will endure for centuries. I really do love them both. Thanks.❤❤

How perfect to have Neil induct Paul, awesome. \

Love his adamant praise of McCartney's first solo album, which many had wrongly savaged over the years for being something they didn't expect.

3:55, when Neil mentions that Paul will be remembered hundreds of years from now, I immediately thought of "Yesterday". And then Neil mentioned it. I guess that goes to show how incredible that song really is...

Neil is perfection.

What a great heartfelt speech!

Legend, both of them!

I read these public comments and I just don't believe that no one really knows what this man has done for all of music his work alone and with John and the other Beatles is a gift from God that will never ever be equaled,,I've made a living from music since 1977 and I owe it all to those 4 men ,,,thank you Beatles for showing me the way

Great words from the Greatest......... NEIL.

My icon . It hard to decide wich song i loved the most. I loved all of them. Love you and your band so so so so much.

Neil Young has been a success for decades.

Always expect the unexpected from Neil! Cool for me because they are 2 of my all time faves.

Neil Young a class act!!

Very nice speech,Neil.

I like how Neil talks about himself a lot.

I love the way you snuck The Who in there Neil. I've heard you speak before about Moony and the guys. As much as I love YOUR music, I love your integral connection to the muse that connects us all. Much love fellah, ☮ Stay safe and Young. Long May You Run. x neilyoungchannel

hadn't seen that, real nice Neil intro. very well spoken intro. if you ask me, and the piece on Paul just fine, thumbs up for uploading my friend.

Even now, although I have memorized all the notes (and most of the lyrics, even though I sing), hearing Sir Paul's music always gives me 'goosebumps'. That's how, on a most 'primal' level, I KNOW it is great. I may really enjoy the efforts of many other bands, but, not like this. All the others who give me those notorious bumps are opera singers and 'crooners'.

Don't forget Ringo, Neil, jeez!

Great Word for the Greatest!

King of melody Paul McCartney.

thanks for the share.

"Hey Jude" - This always gives me courage to keep moving, thank you Paul Sir.

No one has ever put all the right chords in all the right places like Paul McCartney.

great speech by Neil off the top of his head....thanks for posting

A CLASS ACT THANK YOU

Very touching.

You can just imagine Linda sitting in her living room, with Neil on one side and Paul on the other, taking turns to play a song. People would pay millions for that!

5:22 I cried so hard :( RIP Linda McCartney

one of the greatest song writers of all time...although I have always been in lennon's corner, i have a great appreciation for what paul has done for music. he is right up there with john lennon, roger waters, bob dylan, and the presenter himself, neil young.

Beautiful. Wonderful. I liked Neil's speech. Very funny guy. He wasn't reading or referring to any notes as far as I could tell. He was speaking from the heart; off the top of his head; trying to remember little things that revealed what an affect the Beatles had on him as a musician/songwriter. That's cool he was chosen to induct Paul. Mick Jagger was chosen to induct the Beatles in 1994 - that was perfect too.

great tribute by Neil

Very blessed to have Sir Paul as A friend of mine thank- you Sir Paul. I am honored . With LOVE DEBBIE HODGE DENNEY aka Debbie Denney

Keep On Rocking in the free World

Rock and roll will never die!!!!

To give you guys just one example of how bad ass a bass player Paul was even in the early days of the Beatles. One title: "All my loving" Listen closely what he's doing, that descending and ascending walking bass line, that is TOUGH, make no mistake and he does all that WHILE SINGING. And at the final chorus even singing the second voice while George takes over the lead vocal. That's a stellar show of musicianship.

@nat00ben06 "Faul" is referring to the theory that Paul McCartney died in a 1967 car crash, and that he was replaced by a look-alike to keep people from panicking (Fake+Paul= Faul). So, the discussion was that even if Faul were real, he still would have written masterpieces, after 1967 and so on

On this day, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is now part of Sir Paul McCartney!

Fully deserved. For all those who dismiss Paul's solo efforts, he wrote superb melodies and lyrics - not just silly love songs - in many albums, including in less-successful efforts like Wild Life. Just listen to Some People Never Know, which is excellent. He did Britpop in the song London Town, he did smart pop music in Band on the Run, including some gorgeous ballads like Mamunia. Pop music without Paul McCartney would be like an ice cream cone, without the ice cream.

Two great musicians

Young is a genius!

The world is a better place because of The Beatles. I love The Beatles. They gave us so , so much.

1974 ,Hazel Drury's house on Hewitt Ave, Marquette Michigan, sitting in her bedroom listening to Neil Young, Harvest. it seems like yesterday and that's the Amazing thread Music weaves through all of our Lives. there is no amount of money you could pay me for my Memories🎼🎹🙋🌎✌

Really interesting speech from Neil Young... to get both the respect & affection of amazing talents like NY is tribute indeed!

I love love love Neil Young.

Great testimony by Neil

An ambulance came to my neighbour's place tonight as i was about to go to bed. She's very elderly so i thought i would pray for her. I decided to play some music by the Beatles...and it led me to here...thank ggodness my prayers were answered...they did not need to take her to hospital. As i continue on another spiritual awakening I just wanted to write a few things...and all this poured out....Creativity is part of creation..it's a "direct line" to The Divine and creation is limitless...no beginning and no end....pure love and expansiveness!!! I feel so blessed to be born in the 60's...i mean incarnate on a contract to help Earth at a time when the Vietnam War had no purpose, was pointless, and destructive to all of us. The Beatles were inspiring and helped all the peace loving beings try to find meaning in the destruction & despair that the U.S. government imposed on innocent people around the world...because of what? We were told thru propaganda and more that communism was a threat...last map i looked at Vietnam was not physically located near any U.S. land. What gives the U.S. the right to enter a foreign country to use chemical weapons like Agent Orange...those chemicals are not only harmful but end up in all the water and air that all animals breath...I was very young when this was going on...i am still outraged today that governments have so much power and it doesn't matter who gets in as the appointed leader is only a puppet to the elite....as Leonard Cohen's song goes...."Democracy is coming...to the U.S.A." When? Why are woman blamed for things...like Yoko Ono blamed for the break up of the beatles? rumours are dangerous. there's an energy exchange between to beings...John loved her and if it weren't for him being with her...we all may never of had his body of artistic creation. The Age of Aquarius is here...the shift has begun...the tyranny is crumbling...We are all one...Join the movement to always be kind, in your heart, shed the egoic mind or at least become aware of what that is...Eckhart Tolle and others explain it...we can all do powerful group meditations....the help others and ourselves. We CAN shift the timeline...check out any ascension videos for April 4th, 2020...I finally feel part of a community....and no one can take spirituality away from you. Each and every one of us has a role to play to help humanity and the planet...try and keep as high vibe as possible and grounded. The entire band members had a chemistry...it was perfect for the time/era and it was genuine...energy that came from the divine thru them and to us...to me, John Lennon's "Give peace a chance" and "Imagine" are 2 songs that we need more than ever....he was the "deepest" and most out spoken Beatle...which is why I believe he was murdered by the guy the CIA pinned it on...but it was by the CIA's mind control lab...hence the movie that was made after his passing to do "damage control"...never believe the story the media spins on things...step out of the matrix...after Princess Diana was murdered...the movie "the queen" ...and 'the king's speech" came out...and other shows/movie's like "Victoria"...again damage control...be mindful of the influence that the images you see do to the mind...the subconscious mind does NOT know false from true..it has no sense of humour...it only believes what is hears and sees...so your conscious mind will know...oh...it's just a fake horror movie...but the subconscious mind processes it just as if it ACTUALLY happened...why is this important...because it affects your mind/body/spirit...to make you disturbed and/or less sensitive to violence...so that action against aggressors doesn't occur...so what can anyone do?...i am not suggesting violence of any kind...that energy never ends well for anyone...I am suggested more awareness to think for yourself...so this is the time to shut off all violence...in video games (the way the elite are programming the next generations), some sports...like the NFL and the car wreck hits that prove nothing but feed the egoic mind, and remove the chains of addiction that are really a form of "bondage"...stopping you from becoming heart centred and have the best life you were made to have. Always look for the positive. Paul made such beautiful music and always puts me in a higher vibration. George fascinates me and use to be my favorite as many of his songs move me...like "Something"...i was thinking...about the "she"...in that song...it is forming new meaning...what we perceive is like a mirror at times...a reflection...something i the way she moves...is now Mother Earth....anyway...we are all equal...there has never been a hierarchy to me ...the birds are as important as the tree...and the flowers are as important as a mountain...it's all connected take down one tree...and the energies of the entire planet change...the wind will not flow as it did...shout negativity (or think it) and it spills out to the entire multiverse. Ringo seems more light and airy...a character...glad i got to experience their music on the radio growing up...on vinyl....and am now reflecting and find his "the very best of John Lennon CD relevant to today's issues...like "Working class hero" (for all the "frontline" workers), "Love" (the most powerful healing energy), "Power to the People" (what we can all do is meditate/pray for the age of aquarius timeline to shift..."Ascension Timeline Meditation April 4th...is only 7 min and YoQi (Yoga and Qigong) has amazing global meditation and Qigong to prevent illness, strengthen your divine energies/energy field...."an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"...and it's all on youtube...but for how long? I would love to hear what John Lennon would have to say about today's world...the vast majority of us all want the same PEACE, LOVE, and HARMONY....so why don't we all do our part to bring these energies to fruition...lead us to Peace....it has been on Earth before..it will come again...prayers in large numbers at the same time are proven to do more rapid healing...may you all be protected with light/love energy as it can never be destroyed...the scientists just proved that several years ago...dark energies can be transmuted and dissolved to neutral...i have ALWAYS known that "light envelops darkness". If you need anything ask...and it is given...seek and ye shall find...give gratitude for what you do have...i hope sharing this helps as many energy beings as possible. I have been persecuted all my life, wrongfully accused, beaten and bruised (emotionally)...i had the cruelest mom, sister, and brothers...i got attacked outside my home on several occasions by strangers..and I was not believed or protected when i got home and needed comfort...i was not allowed to express myself in my "home"...but i'm still here in my 50's focused on helping others....THIS EARTH ANGEL IS SPREADING HER WINGS...I AM FREE...thank you to all the music, books, and meditations i have done...and all the obstacles/challenges...if it wasn't for them...I wouldn't have such a rich inner life. LOVE IS THE ANSWER....LOVE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PAIN BECAUSE LOVE IS JUST LOVE.

love you Paul long live Neil and paul

Very nicely done ...Old Man

I met Neil in Chicago in April or May of 1999. Nice guy.

Love Neil Young. Didn't know he was so funny too.

I seen Paul in 2002 in Atlanta and the fans spanned all ages. Instead of cheering, there was a moment of quiet shock when Paul hit the stage, like were were all thinking: It's really f***ing PAUL! It was a three hour concert, yet he could hardly scratch the surface of all the hits he made between the Beatles, Wings and solo years. There is no name in music greater than Sir James Paul McCartney and no musician holds more world records.

Love the wings !

What a lifetime of happiness you brought to me yeh yeh yeh

neil young.....you are the best!

Neil Young has a great, self deprecating sense of humour Yes he did reference himself a lot but also revealed his admiration for The Beatles and McCartney in the same way as any ordinary fan would do unlike Mick Jagger when he was doing his induction The Beatles into the hall of fame was very measured in his praise and elevated himself self and the Rolling Stones as rivals to The Beatles

Happy days :)

I am gonna be devastated if paul passed ..long live mcartney x

I have great respect for Paul as well

What ah Honor................Nice job Neil.

Nice speech Neil.

Neil young would have made a great actor doing horror films,He has them crazy eyes!!!

We need always great singers composers

This video made me curious. I think I'll listen to one of his songs for once. I don't ride bandwagons, but wait for the dust to settle.

Honestly vcx9, Who licked the red off of YOUR candy? Neil is a wonderful guy who expresses himself all heart and soul. Not to mention that he is a great song writter, a master at electric and acustic guitar. He has an remarkable sense of humor that rarely gets noticed. You might want to check yourself and find out if you really know anything at all. Sheessshhhh!

Pretty cool.

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

What gets me with this speech is the way Neil relates to the British groups of the time, Beatles, Stones, The Who and yet these groups themselves were influenced by American starts like Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Elvis. It's cool.
