It's a pity Crazy Horse won't be doing this tour (Nils has other plans), the Chrome Hearts are apparently a lighter proposition than the feral, jam-heavy Horse, but it'll be interesting to see what's played. NY has a tendency not to pander to the casual observer, although I should imagine Glasto will be more user-friendly than his own gigs 

Saw him solo a few years ago and he did 3 hours, first half was acoustic/70s type stuff and the second was 90s/electric. It was immense. Mainly bangers with some new stuff and obscure songs 

 

if he did a 90 min version of that I’d be well happy

With the London Symphony Orchestra?

Is that a thing? Some folks get really weird when they get older. 
 

Cypress Hill are on my bucket list, but not with an orchestra, FFS it’s hardly Hiphop

The Chrome Hearts are still a relatively unknown entity so don't rule out some jams just yet. They're essentially just Promise of the Real and those shows featured a good mix of his catalogue!

 

The band he played with in 2009 ("the electric band") were similar in style, and they managed some 30 - 40 minute jams (albeit not at Glastonbury - probably for the best!)

They did a one-off with them at the Royal Albert Hall, was a nod to a joke about it in The Simpsons.

We could always have Lynrd Skynrd subbing him, if any of them are still alive.

No bad blood there. Loads of myths around this topic, but ultimately they were friends afterwards.

 

Neil wrote about the incident in his (first) autobiography, expressed some regret about Alabama, one of the songs that triggered the famous response.

Don’t think there any members who played on the 70’s stuff still alive other than Artimus Pyle, who’s a convicted nonce

Thought he was dead. Trust him to outlive the others. 
I do recollect they made up after the initial argument @judyblue110, saw them a few times decades ago, once supporting Deep Purple and they blew purple off the stage.

Thanks for alerting me to this, I genuinely didn’t know this story!

You probably know by now, but after the line "Well, I heard Mr. Young sing about her", you can hear either a sample or an impression of Neil singing "Southern Man". It's super faint, but it's there!

I’m going to listen to it later but I did read that. This has been a genuine revelation for me 😆

I remember the story when it happened. With age comes knowledge! Saw them in Glasgow a long  time ago and the stage backdrop was a confederate flag. The last time I saw them they had ditched it!

 We bunked into NASS a few years ago for Cypress Hill, no way was I missing that, especially playing in gods own county.

Most of them died in a plane crash together while on tour in 1977.

New song out today, and the first with his new band:

Yes, presumably on the Glastonbury set list - his band:

 

Young is back with a new band, the chrome hearts, that includes Spooner Oldham (Farfisa organ), Micah Nelson (guitar and vocal), Corey McCormick (bass and vocal) and Anthony LoGerfo (drums). Their first single "big change" is out today!

That sounds really powerful, should be great on the farm.
