This video is so brilliant and still holds up to this day.
Waiting for this channel to blow up, video and audio quality is top notch for a channel with so few subscribers, don't give up, the content is great and soon it'll catch fire I'm sure
Context: before this happened, nobody under 30 cared about Neil Young...the flap over “This Note’s For You” gave Young a surge of indie cred that persists to this day.
Nonsense.
Show everyone you know nothing about music without saying you know nothing about music.
And then Neil went ahead and Sold Out his catalog and "Old Man" is now playing in a Budweiser commercial. What a hypocrite!
The difference between Weird Al and Neil is one of parody vs. satire. It's kind of like comparing Conan O'Brien to Jon Stewart, both hilarious for different reasons. The former examples go for silliness and absurdity, while the latter ones are scathing in their attacks.
Dude you can't compare the 2
This is so interesting. Thank you Music Video Time for sharing. I LOVE Neil Young for his music, and most of all for his candid transparency. He doesn't tip toe for anyone and I love that he is genuine! I also love documentary type posts like this a lot! I learn so much! I really enjoy learning new things, especially in the music industry, because I have a greater appreciation for the music if I understand the song. Thank you again!
This video is so great. That part where Miller rips off Bette Midler and especially the Fat Boys is so messed up.
Love your channel! I just discovered and always recommend it to all my friends . I love this Mr. Young video, is really funny. Btw, just three years later Genesis make I Can't Dance, a video that is a full parody of some jean's television commercials and MTV have no problem with that. They learn I guess.
A lot of great info here i never knew. Thanks!
very interresting, nice video, I learned a lot
The music industry is a business. If your product isn't profitable, you won't stay in business. This industry (entertainment, news, media in general) is known for creating controversies in order to stimulate sales. At one time, I was a big Neil Young fan. In the 80s, nobody had cassettes of The Shocking Pinks, Trans, Freedom, American Dream, Landing On Water, Decades, etc. The Blue Notes lawsuit and the MTV controversy brought Neil Young's name front and center. He made new fans, found a new audience. People are still talking about him and his music in 2022. There's no such thing as bad publicity when you're in that industry.
Somewhere in the first part of the video you asked if people didn't realize the amount of damage the fire did to Michael Jackson. I can only speak for myself from my own memory but I don't think so. Yes, it was shocking when the news broke but quickly became, yeah, he'll be OK. Thus, if he'll be OK, a joke about it is OK. Of course, in retrospect, it wasn't. On the impersonation front and speaking of David Lee Roth, one to remember is 1985's Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody that also spoofed Jackson and many others from Willie Nelson to Boy George, even electrocuting Billy Idol. As for the song itself, I'm a big Neil fan so we can agree to disagree on how good it is but, as I recall, it was played a LOT right off the bat on rock radio where I lived and I'm not sure the ban had much to do with it. I always thought it set up Neil's "comeback" when, as you mentioned, Freedom was a gangbuster. Great stuff to learn about and remember. Thanks!
great job making this video. very interesting. but the audio was quiet at times then get very loud.
Awesome!!
I recommend reading "Weird Scenes Inside The Canyon: Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops & The Dark Heart Of The Hippie Dream" by David McGowan for better insight into Neil's "authenticity".
I don't think that Neil was making fun or a joke out of Michael's predicament. It's was more used as commentary regarding selling yourself to the devil and getting burned because of it. If Michael didn't agree to the commercial, he wouldn't have been set on fire.
Yeah, but Michael didn't necessarily "agree" to do the commercial either. Michael was contractually obligated to appear in the commercials so that Pepsi would sponsor a forthcoming Jackson 5 tour (with this sponsorship deal being signed by tour promoters without Michael's knowledge or consent).
It's pronounced Shah-day , not Sa-day.
"Old Man take a look @ U're life, U're just fool. Old Man U're a hypocrite through & through.". Ah......no, I'm not a fan of "Clownboy". Thanks a bunch Canada.

No one cares what you think.
I love Neil young ,but I never liked this song.
It's a lie . That's where I saw the video all the time.
You didn't watch the video.
@@ItsMusicVideoTime oh yes I did. Lol
Then you clearly missed the part where I said the video was banned and then it was lifted a month later.
@@carlcarlson3238 doubtful
@@gxtmfa I have it on old vcr tapes from mtv.
its to bad Neil turn into another one of those sniveling woke characters, i kinda wish he would have continued to practice music and stayed out of politics.

You really don’t get it. He does whatever he wants. He’s got his money. He doesn’t need paltry Spotify dividends. Sorry he doesn’t agree with you but can you be surprised that the guy who wrote about the Kent State shootings is maybe a little to the left?
