Story behind this is I am in Italy promoting Terminal Bliss in 1991 and I am approached by a TV show that is affiliate with Rolling Stone (they were dabbling with an MTV channel at the time). They asked me to do some filmic interviews and I Neil was my first one. I went on to do MC Hammer and 50 percent of the Beatles.

Love to see Neil discuss, and be so open minded about other emerging genres like house music,, techno, and hip hop. In this respect he was ahead of many of his peers, he's more similar to Bowie than Crosby

The best concert I've ever been to was 2013 Geelong, Victoria, Australia. He played well till the rain crept up and then became heavy. Most would've called it off at that stage. But he just stayed and played like a mad professor at the top of his castle and even as the craggy base was tumbling to the sea. He just played possessed. He played "Like a Hurricane", "Powderfinger" and maybe "Cortez the Killer" for about an hour. He is my fave guitarist. Other's may be better, more technical or tight. But Neil actually is a guitar. He expresses emotions through the guitar that no-one else can. His songwriting is just next level. He can make you reminisce for places _you've never been to._ l feel l know Canada because of him. So many great songs of emotional intensity, panoramic vision, genuine honesty, simple truths and ethereal otherworldliness. He is equal to any songwriter ever. Only Dylan has stamped a bigger imprimatur on modern music. As it stands now he is in the company of Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, Jimi Page, David Bowie, Brian Wilson, John Lennon, Kate Bush, Madonna, Prince. It really pisses me off that he doesn't have a wider recognition. Keep on Rockin in the 🇦🇺🇨🇦🇨🇦🇦🇺 Interesting factoid: Neil, Gordon Lightfoot and Joni Mitchell are all Canadian, all Singer Songwriters, all Scorpios and all have had major blood issues.

Great job with this, Jordan! You asked great questions, covering so many topics (his current music, Woodstock, the Rolling Stones, Bill Graham, films...) and kept him happy and talking! He gave a great interview here. You led and captured it well!

Neil is a very unique electric guitar player, i mean he kicks ass on his acoustic, but his way of playing is so strange but good, songs like southern man and like a hurricane are an example

now we know him as the guy that used to be for free speech, and the guy that used to be against biotech, and big pharma. Now he's the guy that wanted more world censorship protecting big pharma. He single handedly went against Joe Rogan calling for him to be banned... all for big pharma! I love some of his songs though. You think a person can be considered good if they completely go against their stated principles so hard like he did? he wanted more censorship and it turned out Neil was completely wrong and the pharma companies were lying and the governments were just trying to get more power and taxes. Neil is for this and you think he could still be considered a good person? THat's a stretch, but maybe, Maybe if you're not basing "good' on a moral scale. Like your definition of good has more to do with the guitar? he's a good person, as in 'he's good person with that guitar.'

I'll never forget the first time I saw Neil in concert with CSN...they started with acoustic and no Neil....then they got out the electric and cute Neil was hiding behind the amps and slowly emerged, crowd went crazy, I was front row center. I was 14, a mad crush on Neil. Never forget that. I love him so much. Part of my life. He is one of a kind, a musical angel, gift from God. Bless you, Neil, long may you run.

He had one of perhaps most iconic rock influencers in a very relaxed state and the questions he asked were uninteresting. Did he talk about the early years with B. Springfield? Ok, what about his involvement with Pearl Jam and the effect he had on grunge? His charity work? His views on some his most iconic songs? Thoughts on touring in this modern era? I had to stop after 8 minutes

@drayewilson2 Жыл бұрын

in 1991 , he had not yet worked with Pearl Jam and grunge was just emerging

it'd be interesting if he asked him about his position on free speech now that its turned out he was wrong about the facts and Joe rogan beat him out. I wish Neil would go on Rogan's show and apologize for promoting fasciism. That would redeem Neil. Just say, "look, I went a bit crazy. There were so many advertisements and I had this pressure to conform. It just took over me." People would understand because we all know people that became soviets for any authoritarian line. does it bother Neil that he's now an anti free speech person?

I will have to find the full interview and upload it. If I recall, it was several hours long.

@templegoddessjourneys 6 ай бұрын

That was an amazing interview. You caught him at a time when he was really shining from his soul. It was good to capture that. We don't often pay attention to the aliveness caused by a spiritually activated person, that we merely interpret as attractive. He seems really amazing...or at least was...but then...we unfortunately can be directed wrongly. I am just saying that, because I don't like some of his politics, and I don't get his later albums.
