Neil Young is as authentic as they come. His singing long may you run to support Conan is just another reason in a mile long list of reasons why he is such a great artist and human being.
What a great comedian. I can't wait to see what he's going to come up with for the new HBO show. There's probably too much damage at NBC for things to ever be patched up there, short of NBC losing a LOT of egos, very quickly - but I'd love to see Coco back at the helm of the Tonight Show. It felt so natural, seeing him there, while it lasted.
Howard I grew just over the parkway from you in Merrick. I've been listening to you since you were on NBC you get keep hitting the ball out of the park. The Bruce and Conan interviews were monster
I relate to what their talking about with the hands. When I saw McCartney I too focused on his hands & thought those are the hands that played all those songs.
The song by Jewel "Hands" should have been playing in the background for this interview, McCartney and Springsteen chit chat about their hands, the original meaning behind Jewel's song is quite different.
@@lynnturman8157 It's a joke- a reference to the SNL more cowbell sketch (not related to Neil Young... I just found the words Conan used similar to that sketch)
Genius can't be taught or explained. We are made in God's image, human consciousness is special. Many brilliant men put their pants on one leg at a time.
Neils secret is easy---in his own words 'its all about the music"----for him, music precedes everything---relationships, friendships, fans, any and everything. Accounts for some of his surliness which is legendary in the Industry. But it works. "think I"ll pack it in and, buy a pickup, take it down to L.A."---take it from there. I recall Conan closing his last show with "Free Bird", his version.
Neil Young with Booker T, "All Along The Watchtower", the 10.54 minute version ONLY, is a defining moment in rock. That 1 song in that concert, propelled Young into the highest level of guitar players.
Conan is a brilliant comic, he's just a little too offbeat for the typical Late Night TV talk show, and there are only a half dozen of those jobs available. He is WAAAAY funnier than Jimmy Fallon.
You are wrong. Every great artist breaks the mold and goes his own way, Bob Dylan for example. Their voices are perfect vehicles for their unique musical messages.
"put someone on a pedistal and you're only degrading yourself." I love that quote, thanks Conan and great interview

Conan's interview with McCartney in '97 is one of the most hilarious interviews ever. Give it a watch.
Wow, he spoke the whole truth.
"When you put people on a pedestal, you are degrading yourself".
Hm, I needed to hear this.
Conans laugh is the best....
It's a mad Irishman laugh.
Conan is the best
Not Jimmy Fallon?🤣🤣🤣
Conan is a comedy legend in the same way Young is a music legend. But he’s too humble to see that
And that's the problem: the greats in comedy rarely have a huge following. Look at Cheech and Chong for Christ's sake.

That whole last week was pretty legendary. "It's just crazy expensive."
I love Neil Youngs album, Harvest Moon ..It's awesome ..
Conan and Norm together saved my life ❤
💛
Conan really needs to become a music writer or a music journalist because his knowledge and love of music is evident.
Neil young is a legend
Love Conan, and love his laugh!
Conan is looking good, I think what Jordan Schlansky said got to him.
I recall Conan having lots of great bands on his show. Slipknot to mention one band he brought on multiple times.
And the Slipnutz
@@mikeoxstiff 😂🤣😆😀😂👍👍👍👍
Does anyone over the age of 20 even listen to slipnot? And if so.... why? LOL
Yassss Slipknot
Neil Young, SCTV, Conan loves Canadians!!! It's clear.
actually we all do
Morn Nacdomald.
Norm MacDonald was one of his favorites too
....and John Candy at Harvard before he got into comedy
Canadian nickel back:
"in beaver we thrust"
Love Conan ❤ makes me laugh out loud
i luv neil young, too.
Neil Young is one of my favorites too. Amazing performer!
love you conan
You remember when you were with the Beatles? That was awesome.
SNL.
Ten years ago on the California coast, half moon bay I would see Neil young driving a electric 59 Ford rag top from time to time
Still in HMB, now his boat can be spotted; a thing of beauty
It’s called LincVolt.
I relate to what their talking about with the hands. When I saw McCartney I too focused on his hands & thought those are the hands that played all those songs.
Neil's my favorite too!!!
(Now...Everytime I hear Howard, I think of Matthew Friends.)
Now I'm imagining Bruce singing with his raspy voice..."I'm opening a bag of Doritoooooossss"
😅 spot on
Not usually my favourite genre but I love Neil Young’s music.
Is Conan wearing the original Batmobile?
The song by Jewel "Hands" should have been playing in the background for this interview, McCartney and Springsteen chit chat about their hands, the original meaning behind Jewel's song is quite different.
Fun fact - Jewel’s debut album was recorded at Neil’s ranch.
Love Conan
the title is just simply stand for my "DREAM COME TRUE"
Great comebacks & Conan jokes🤣
Best interviewer ever, Howard!
Except after he opens a bag of Doritos, he makes gold records 😂
What does that even mean?
Because normal people are unable to make gold records…
@@lynnturman8157 It's a joke- a reference to the SNL more cowbell sketch (not related to Neil Young... I just found the words Conan used similar to that sketch)
😂 classic
@@kpogatchnik I get you. Hilarious!!!
Beautiful statement on revering an artistic or intellectual hero while downplaying the capabilities of one's own hands and brain
I think it has to do with as age, but Neil Young is effing hero, and does this for decades! Even Lynyrd Skynyrd acknowledged Neil's talent.
They were friends. Everyone thinks they didn’t get along. But it’s not true.
Conan should be an Honorary Canadian his hero’s are Neil Young and John Candy
Not to mention Norm Macdonald..
Martin Short.
Howard is always truth.
love conan
Ditto
Paul makes the bag of Doritos open itself.
A bag of Doritos. LOL.
Mensch, my people 🤣💕👍

2:09 When I got close to Jimmy Page in 2004, that's what I did, too - looked at his hands for the longest time.
Einstein's wife had all the lobes. Conan is the best.

I remember stern ripping conans last show and neil youngs performance on it
A couple of goddamn philosophers. I ❤️ it!
"Hands that open up a bag of Doritos".
Well that was safe. My mind went somewhere else.
🤣
Greg Allman was a great guest for Conan!
Now I'm imaging Sir James Paul McCartny eating Doritos...😂😂
I will now forever think of Bruce when opening a bag of Doritos
Neil Young with Booker T, "All Along The Watchtower", the 10.54 minute version ONLY, is a defining moment in rock. That 1 song in that concert, propelled Young into the highest level of guitar players.
The Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary version at MSG is a notch better imo. He finds another gear.
@@edwardlepine it's the same version.
@@Quinctili the one on the album is 6:15. 1993.
@@edwardlepine did you even watch the 10.54 version on You Tube? The MSG chant is NOTHING!
You gave me something to check out.
Long may you run was about his Sedan Delivery Ford.
He loved that rig lol!
Neil on the peak of songwriters Everest along with Dylan,Waters,Townshend.
Don't forget Leonard Cohen
Your heart holds your fate !
My people’s term!
Conan's a Boston Irish mensch.
Conan looks good
This is an amazing duo and I’m pissed i cant watch the whole thing
I love Neil's music. Having said this, I wouldn't want to hang around him.
His hypocracy is legendary too.
@@lynncarter4964 Learn to spell.
Stern has turned into such a WUSS!
Have you ever met someone that didn’t mellow with age? He may not be your taste but why does that matter.
I love how Neil Young would have been torn to shreds on American Idol, but he's got infinitely more talent than any of the contestants on that show.
That stern or phil spector
I’m all thumbs
Conan invited his audience to meet him on his turf rather than common turf a little more than the other late night talk show hosts.
He's not wrong about Neil Young.
Wow interviewing another human being is so above another.
So Bruce Springsteen likes Doritos, huh? I KNEW it! 🤣😂
Hey, ptsd is no laughing matter. But otherwise, great clip!👍
Doritos...oh how I laughed.
Jack White

All this hand talk reminds me of George Costanza being a hand model.
How about Jeff Healey?
...or Funyuns.
Actually I heard that Einstein's synapse density was much higher than normal. Had more folds than average too.
Howie, what happened buddy?!
That damn EHHHHHHHHHHN-BC
Neil young on yer side… all is well.
Conan on Einstein
The white stripes were the last guest actually
Oh Coney.....
They are 'the hands' of capitalists.
The same hands when opening chips i can agree with but the rest …
Neil Young is true to his last name ha ha
He's explaining the difference between what a real, creative and raw musical genius is. The polar opposite of 99% of the crap on the radio now.
Interesting. When you put other’s on pedastools you degrade yourself
When you misplace apostrophes you degrade the written language.
When you have the vocabulary of a second grader you degrade yourself. “Pedastool” - read a book, bro.
Neil Young???? ROTFLMAO
Frakenstein!!!!!!
,,,,,,.................. In the year 2000............................................................in the year 2000...........😯😯notsorry
The sound of shaking a bag of Doritos is both edgier than anything Howard Stern has to say and more musical than Bruce Springsteen.
Neil Young by far is the one of the best Canadian musicians ever
Joni would disagree…. And I would concur
They have a deep bench. If I may use a baseball metaphor.
Joni and Neil are ying and yang as creative geniuses.
He wasn't on the tonight show
I know! ???
Sorry to say ,Conan is not that good. If he was he would still be on TV .. So sorry
Conan is a brilliant comic, he's just a little too offbeat for the typical Late Night TV talk show, and there are only a half dozen of those jobs available. He is WAAAAY funnier than Jimmy Fallon.
@Avid: Part one is subjectively FALSE. Part two is reductionist. No apology is needed, we're sorry you don't understand him.
Springsteen's piano playing is ALL WRONG - What is Howard is talkin about?
Neil Young has his talents but singing isn’t one of them. Just the truth.
I’ve been a fan of Neil Young since the 70’s. To be honest, his voice is just his voice as far as I’m concerned. I wouldn’t want it any different.
@@dougmackey3696 True, just his voice. But i wouldn't want hear anyone else aside from him to sing Philadelphia tho.
but it works.
You are wrong. Every great artist breaks the mold and goes his own way, Bob Dylan for example. Their voices are perfect vehicles for their unique musical messages.
I can handle Neil's voice; it's his "dancing" I can't take.
Good stuff
Neil Young hasn't produced a decent album for decades. Most of his output is dire.
You know what they say about opinions.
Completely wrong lol. Theres been a lot of modern classics if you’d paid any attention
Wrong. Barn was good last year. Psychedelic Pill in 2014 was also stellar.
@@sdot5389 Psychedelic Pill was fuckin awesome
@@sdot5389 wrong. Barn was excellent. So was Monsanto Years.
