404 on link. OH NO WE COULDN'T FIND THE PAGE
Not anymore.
404 for me. Lol
Thanks for being, Neil ✌️
Neil who? Armstrong? Neil Diamond??
Back then we criticized performers for product endorsements, now we have "influencers" that just do the endorsements with not talent.
That's true. Omg
Without talent.
Planet's gone to the dogs
... ha! Right?? 😀 👍
Fcuk the system!
MTV Video Music Award 1989: "Best Video of the Year".
In 1985 I worked at the then Garden State Arts Center in central New Jersey. Neil played with his International Harvesters band. My mom worked there as well doing backstage security.
Mike Love of The Beach Boys was there, my mom being a fan asked for an autograph. The only thing available was a venue program for the concert. My mom asked Neil for an autograph, he said that since Mike signed a Neil Young program he would only sign a Mike Love program. Several years later when Neil passed thru again my mom gave him a Beach Boys program to sign, which he did with a big smile
"Aint Singin' for Spotify" 😁
Oh never mind I'm back now 😂😂😂😂
Neil Young reminds me a lot of Joe Jackson, the fact that he can play anything he wants and he's not going to lose his identity. Plus, those two guys are two of the best songwriters around. They have almost nothing in common, and yet everything in common.
He almost lost it during his tenure on Geffen Records, in particular his two 1983 albums Trans and Everybody's Rockin', which were both cited as being "unrepresentative music." Although Geffen filed a $3.3 million suit against Young over these two albums, Young then shot back with a $21 million countersuit, insisting that he was promised free creative control; the two parties settled out of court in 1985 in favor of Young, who then released Old Ways. As released, Young described that country 'n western album in interviews as "Old Ways II" because he wanted to release the album in '83 as a country album, but that Geffen wanted it to sound more mainstream (hence Everybody's Rockin').
Young sold his music to BlackRock and shills for Big Pharma. He never had an identity to begin with.
This Notes for You, underrated album and tour.
Way underated song ! He capture that twangy garage sound from the 80's but with a soulful twist and bad ass horn accompaniment. Another example why the 80's we're just that awesome!
This song popped into my head today. Thanks Neil, keep it strong.
he's a putz.
@@mygoogleemail2063
Never heard of you. Never heard any of your songs. You must not be any good.
@@mygoogleemail2063 why because he doesn’t believe in the same crap you believe in?
So anti-commercialism of the music industry and consumerism, I LOVE IT!

久しぶりに急に聴きたくなった。
こんなに上質な音楽が100万再生も行かない世の中なんだと、改めて思い知った。
I was in this Neil Young video in 1989. I have been a huge fan of Neil since Buffalo Springfield in the 60s and all of his solo work since, starting with After The Goldrush, so it was a thrill to work with him, he is such a gentleman. I have seen him in concert and he is an incredible guitarist......powerful and mind blowing! He has so much integrity and stands up for things that he believes in over money. I am the girl in the orange bikini as well as the girl on the swing. Fun, fun, fun!!!
Neil Young Born To Rock.
Very nice work. This is the only time in my life where I have wished that my face was a swing seat.
My 1st concert - I was 11, my brother Monte was 15, our friend Randy was 18 - He drove - Saturday November 29,1969 - We saw Santana open the show for CSN&Y at the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix, Arizona - We paid $3.50 for the nosebleed seats but we walked down and were leaning against the stage
Row, you are a legend because you were part of this legendary video. MTV originally wouldn't show it, then it later won MTV's "Video of the Year"!
Bet you don't look like that now 😂😂
For all those bitching about the irony of having an ad before this vid you all realize NEIL YOUNG didn't put the ad up.
I remember when this came out on MTV. Loved it cause I was a fan of anything parody. Well, that and it's freaking Neil Young.
So you must be a member of the Weird Al fan club then....neato
@@Oh_I_Will Better be a fan of Weird Al too!
I'm not sure if I would classify this as parody as much as sarcasm and a shot at big business. Anything like that is definitely in the Neil Young vein.
I love how incredibly late 80s this is. It's so comfy.
This feels like something that would come on TV around midnight, when I'm lying on the couch half asleep with the lights off, while the rest of the family has already gone to bed. Super cozy.
@@exerciserelax8719 Ha yeah it does
The opening of the video, in particular, parodies a commercial Eric Clapton did for (I think it was) Michelob beer. Clapton had recorded a new version of "After Midnight" for his boxset that was coming out that year, and it was the soundtrack for the ad. This video parodies it perfectly.
To me, Neil will always have my respect for how he managed to piss off David Geffen.
Nowadays, today's singers don't see the reason why a singer like Neil, or a lot of musicians from the late-80's or early-90's, would refuse to be in a soft drink commercial. They'd most likely accept it with open arms with the attitude "who doesn't want to be # 1 in the fame game?"
This song became relevant again in 2022.
The sax intro is gut wrenching .. such a beautiful intro
Where can I find more music like it. Don’t say kenny g 😂
That IS a wonderful solo--for a long time, I wondered what song it came from. Then I heard "Bad News Comes to Town" on the "Bluenote Cafe" CD, and that exact solo really lifts that song!
This man is just so awesome ❤
R.I.P. Steve Lawrence, Rick "the Bassplayer" Rosas, and Ben Keith who contributed heavily to this album and tour.
Yes Rick the bass player as Joe Walsh always called him
Under the surface ,this song is deep and the video is the ultimate social satire
always loved this song for what it stood for. i know todays gen and their rappers would never understand this, but there was a time when if you sold out, you were scorned. today's world, you have rappers selling clothes, video games, and anything else you can think of. i old school....let your music stand on it's own merit.
That doesn't make any sense because Neil Young was pretty much alone in this in the 80s as all the biggest stars in the era were doing ads or had ad sponsored tours. Selling out hasn't been a thing since the 60s except in more niche genre circles like Punk, Grunge, Emo, Etc.
@@rickyhunt4075 Easy Mister eye of the tiger! He has a point. Neil was an
independent guy. Rob is not that far off the mark.
@@aburden8580 I agree about Neil but he's wrong about applying it to an entire generation whereas it was only a select few like Neil who believed so strongly in authenticity and letting their music stand on its own merits. People like Neil were always the exception there was no golden time where the majority of artists wouldn't sell out.
@@rickyhunt4075 Everyone has a price. And if they live long enough they will
contradict themself or morph into something unrecognizable.
He is Canadian but lives forever in US. He gets a new wife. He had
a giant house in Hawaii on sale for over 10 million US. He's a rockstar!
As for memory, it's a tricky thing. I accept Rob is trying to say that there were rules or there was time when things were simple. Don't kill the Mafia
guy in front of family and so on. Now (skip last 2 years) it is pick a pronoun, 'body positivity' means celebrate morbidly obese. Now, it's
spray an extended magazine in a general direction, maybe shooting your
enemy, when a punch or two years ago sorted it. Sperm count-down.
Plastic in the fish in the ocean. Just ask Bruce Jenner. Cheers.
@@aburden8580 He has lived for years in the US and became an American Citizen a few years back don't see a contradiction there lots of people move to America and still love their homeland.
To my knowledge Neil hasn't done commercials or anything like that So I'm not saying he has ever sold out or anything just pointing out he was a rarity.
As for the Body positivity or Obese debate it's interesting because they're people who are obese yet are in Great shape and don't have many health issues look at sports I mean there's tons of obese guys who are great athletes NFL has plenty of Linemen, Boxing and MMA have had Champions that were fat and samd goes for Rugby and Obviously Sumo. That debate is a lot more complex than it seems.
The Jenner thing was ridiculous I mean if you're going to come out as Trans and push for more acceptance of the Trans community maybe you shouldn't back politicians who are hostile to them that was a dumb decision. There needs to be some sort of middle ground reached there.
People are full of contradictions it's a part of human nature life itself is a bit of a contradiction. There have been musicians that haven't sold out from every generation but they're always the exception not the rule. It's also far easier to refuse to take money for an endorsement or something if you already have plenty of money. Neil is from a time when people had to buy music which meant record labels and artists made a lot of money therefore labels often let the artists have more creative freedom and there was less incentive to do commericals, endorsements, etc. I remember a few years ago Neil said something like he didn't have a issue with people downloading music online and not paying for it and the band Cracker criticized him because he made all his money back then and didn't have to stuggle to pay the bills because of the huge losses of revenue for labels and artists because of piracy. It's easier to stand by your principles when you are rich and successful.
I love the 80s so much. Lived them from start to finish and never Get tired of my decade of youth. The Music and the movies.
Best video of the year for 1989
Happy Birthday to Neil Percival Young. Still a true-blue Canadian after all these years!
This video is just great..Dennis Hopper, MJ on fire, and Spuds Mackenzie too. Lol what’s not to love
I JUST KEEP LISTENING TO THIS OVER AND OVER, can't putchya down neil.
Love the way Niel plays that bluesy stiile of his ,, I enjoyed the hole album .
a true legend
One of the best guitarists of the world, no doubt about that. The man is a living legend!!! This is amazing, Neil is the best...
Not even close, but I do like his sound. But technically he was not that great
@@theherbpuffer
Name 1 other musician who's done more than Neil.
@@artvallejos1460 guitar-wise hendrix, Clapton, Rory Gallagher, Peter Green, SRV, Duane Allman, Frank Zappa, chet Atkins, Buddy guy and that's just the top of my head.
@@theherbpuffer
I asked for 1 musician and none of these are more accomplished than Neil.
Compare Neil's body of work to anyone else and no one comes close.
@@artvallejos1460 the comment is literally about him as a guitarist, everything else aside.... as far as overall musician, I can't really argue there ....however, one could make an argument with Bob Dylan or Tom Waits for instance.
THIS IS AN AWESOME SONG! I BELIEVE IN IT. I STRONGLY AGREE TO THE LYRICS.
if any of bars these day played that intro music, i would come there every night ! given that Neil Young would step up too
Where can I get more sax music like that intro. Holy shit. Blows kenny g out of the water
Neil Young is one of a kind, never sold out to further his career like so many other artists did and do. He did things his way only, doesn"t care if you like it or not. by the way MTV pulled the plug on this video only to give him Video of the year. LONG MAY YOU RUN NEIL
PEACE
Then why did he sell his catalogue?
He just sold out to big pharma. Douche bag. He’s singing for them now.
Ah how this didn’t age well 😂
Time for an update. Plus-I would love to see the forensic accounting Farm Aid.
@@SoccerDad-gu5em One side is business. He's allowed. [Soccer is for girls]
this might be the best melding of music and message in recent memory
IMHO probably one of his best albums, fab video too 👍😬
This is such a fucking great song........stickin'it up to `em.
...I'm here in 2022 and that's all I have to say about that ! ....lol....hey Hey Neil 👋!
Let's Go NEIL!!!!!!! Time to say GOODBYE>>>> Enjoy the rest of you life and stay out of the health industry.
@majjam556 This is a parody of the Eric Clapton "After Midnight" commercial for some beer. This to the rhythm he has taken Clapton's song and used it himself.
Neil has always got balls. :)
Out of the park Thank You
I love the comparison of soda commercials in parody in the funny way in one video.
Neil doesn't hold back when he's got something to say.
And the man still here.
Excellent .
It's the meaning of song what a legend
Fantastic !
Neil Youngs awesome, still is and always has been a great song writer.

@@rc.8324 Any recommendations for songs that are similar to this one?
@@raspbar3926 listen to his *Freedom" album
@@raspbar3926 Rust Never Sleeps has to be on the list.
And then he sold out ---- sold off his music catalogue for 150 mil....... hypocrite! After condemning those who were selling off use of their songs for commercials in the 80's!
love this song, the first neil young song I knew when I got cable in 1988.
Album first rate
A very good song.
True Rock-n-Roll artists never sell out. Sadly, there aren't many around any more..
Keep on Rockin' Neil
He just did. Must be Daryl Hannah bad influence. I guess she wants the inherentance.
I heard "Old Man" being used in a Budweiser commercial. Neil must've sold out.
Roger Waters, David Gilmour. Roger sticks to his guns
Neil is the man and I listen to him about every day, thanks ACE !!! You the man too !!
Neil's still rockin' and where are the "celebs"? You know.
I like the beer can he's sipping outta at the end "Sponsored By Nobody", and the "Budweiser Dog" at the end chasing the people. :D
RABID!
Spuds the original rabid party animal
Neil Young is for sure someone who doesn't compromise when it comes to his music. That's what caused the lawsuit with Geffen Records. Neil was sued for making music unrepresentative of himself.
"...making music unrepresentative of himself." What the hell does that mean?
@@HansDelbruck53 Geffen wanted stuff like on the Harvest album, Neil was into different things then, and then actually went way out just to spite Geffen and did a rockabilly album, lol
That album was Everybody's Rockin'. I still have the CD version. One of the favorites in my Neil Young collection. My objection was to the phraseology - everything Neil Young did was "representative of himself", being somewhat the maverick that he was (and is).@@blindriv3r
@@HansDelbruck53 yes exactly, just illustrates what a weasel Geffen is
Love you Neil. Thanks for being pure about the music. You're too MTV for MTV!
This comment didn't age well.
Fun fact
This video was very controversial for MTV, but that didn’t stop Neil from winning the 1989 VMA for Best Video of the Year beating out Steve Winwood, Michael Jackson, Madonna and Fine Young Cannibals
this note says it all
RIP Spuds Mckenzie!
Bluetones? That must be due to a legal dispute...
It's been 20 years since I first saw this and I still love the video and the song's sentiment. I saw it all the time on MuchMusic on satellite in my youth. Even if I don't always agree with Neil Young's perspective, I admire the guy for standing his ground.
See you in Hyde park summer 2019 Neil. Can't wait
Niel young is a talanted writer aRtist and singer old school baby. He gots a sound nobody can touch
Class song, class video. Neil Young has a great sense of humour when it comes to making music videos!
I'll never forget MTV's shameless banning of this video, and then subsequent presentation of a Music Video Award after the negative reaction from the public they received.
That's...not really ironic. It's like the precise opposite.
@Sharon Jensen That's the opposite of ironic. He literally says in the song that he won't sing for politicians.
@@pronkb000 HAHA Nicely done.

Neil Young's barbs against the commercialization of rock music in the '80s was and is an attestation to his integrity as an artist.

Well said!
Michael Jackson hair on fire and somebody pulls off Whitney Houston's wig. Pure jealousy. A white man doing blues, a black form of expression but features the biggest black entertainers being scalped. Think about it. Both images had their hair ruined or removed. I remember this video from my childhood. Same old low key racism that went on in the 80s before we caught on to their game.
Mashano Malbrough I wonder why no one called it out?
@@mashanomalbrough62 Jealousy? You surely don't know Neil. He never wanted to be a big pop star. He sabotaged the record companies' attempts to make him a pop star every time. And why would he be jealous of two people who's music is strictly commercial pop pablum? How many Neil albums do you own man? Do you even grok what Neil has been standing for all of his life?
The last refuge of a scoundrel these days is to accuse a serious artistic or sociopolitical statement or artist as being "racist" when the statement has merit. Just because some of the biggest, highest profile, sell-out, crass commercialized acts at the point in time when Neil wrote the song were black doesn't make his statement racist. You probably think that Jackson and Houston should be exempt from criticism just because of their skin color. Well, that game of yours is getting old and won't cut it here man. The fact is that Jackson did a Pepsi commercial and Houston did a Coke commercial when they were already multi-millionaires. They were doing commercials for products that have been largely responsible for the explosion in diabetes, especially in the black community as well as products containing Donald Rumsfeld's artificial sweetener, aspartame. Neil (like many other common people were) was calling them out on it while other artists didn't have the balls to do it. Music/art and corporate capitalist commercialism don't mix.
I find that your making excuses for corporate popstar posers, just because of their skin color, and then attacking Neil, to be at the least, racialist.
That is a complete disservice to the real black musicians who are not sell-outs and are producing real art.
that shit still rocks.gets me all crunked up
great tune great video .This stuff will be analysed in 2050 or later

love the sax intro.
You can find that full track on a performance series album Neil issued in 2015 called, "Bluenote Cafe." The sax is from a song called: "Bad News Comes to Town(a.k.a. Bad News)."
Total spoof of Clapton's sell out of After Midnight commercial for Michelob

He is our most outspoken celebrity on environmental concerns & Canada's most revered & renowned ambassador for the cause along with environmentalist & Naturalist David Suzuki.
We concerned Canadians love this guy along with many others in this world for all his views on life & the help that he shows for the preservation of Mother Earth.
Still relevant all these years that have pasted sinced this won video of the year on MTV despite that now defunct operation banning this Ace video
Wow,.....This is different from Neil`s regular music,.....Cooool,.......
Thanks eh, appreciate the years Neil
Hes got the real thing ?.... Yes he HAS....It's ALL about the MUSIC
Considering their ages at the time I can see how anybody would have guessed Neil would have been the first one to go.
There is no Neil Old, only Young.
Born To Rock.
It's a rock song, pop song, protest song, and novelty song all in one.
First time view of this song, coming from classic banned songs. Always a bit of a maverick.

it won video of the year in 1989 but it was only played once i think
This song is for me.
This distrack 🔥
Neil Young has never sold out dudes! This video is totally Anti-Establishment for back in the day when every other band was selling out to commercialism. Hopefully you people get the message...Damnit...and keep on rockin' in the free world!!!
He just sold 50% of the rights to his songs to the hipgnosis investment fund...
@@tarryfalter998 why do i believe this is a bad thing he's doing? isn't selling the publishing rights to your song a terrible thing to do?

A low blow from an artist that could only dream of these other artist’s success.
Neil Young Is a musician.
Your artist are entertainers .
Neil Young way more talented .
He's Neil Fucking Young. He's richer than most of us could ever dream of even if he isn't as loaded as someone who sold out, plus people respect him as a serious musician.
neils middle finger to the corporate sponsors! f*ck yes!
Don't have to censor that lil buddy, this is the Internet.
Fuck
an attack on corporate ads, initially MTV refused to play it because of corporate pressure but after it gained popularity on radio and elsewhere they flipped
And it went to win the MTV award for best musical video of 1989. Go figure!
+isidoro1616: And the "Sponsored By Nobody" scene was edited into Sonic Youth's "Teen Age Riot," and Neil took Sonic Youth and Social Distortion on the road with him as his opening acts on the Ragged Glory Tour.
@@JKTube ... Saw him with Crazy Horse when Social D opened for him... Great concert
@@isidoro1616 ... He was on tour at the time, but he accepted live via satellite. Strangely enough, the audio dropped out midway through his acceptance speech. The network swore it was a technical snafu, but it was hard to not be just at tiny bit suspicious of that claim.
