Biography
Toronto, Canada (1960 – present)
According to Don’t Be Denied Songfacts, the 16-year-old Neil was raising chickens and selling the eggs, with plans to go to Ontario Agricultural College and be a farmer. Only his leisure activities foretold his future, when he would hide from his family problems in his room with his transistor radio playing local station CHUM. From this, Young learned admiration for Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, and of course Elvis Presley. In 1958, his father bought Neil his first music instrument, a plastic ukulele. His father would later recall, “He would close the door of his room… and we would hear plunk, pause while he moved his fingers to the next chord, plunk, pause while he moved again, plunk.”

try listening to live rust or rust never sleeps, both live albums from his crazy horse days and i think you'll see where i'm coming from.the needle and the damage done does it for me.Zuma was a crazy horse album where on the beach was solo.if your in a on the beach vibe try hawks and doves, though i prefer re-act-or

I'm not familiar enough with his work, or his work with Crazy Horse, to form an opinion on that I guess. All I know is that Zuma might be my favorite. Tonight's the Night is fucking great, Harvest is a classic, and as I said before, I'm really digging On the Beach. So that's up in the air for me.

bit of an open discussion on neils influence on the punk scene,for me neil wanders off into country,country and western too much as a solo artist.i think crazy horse brings out the best in him, that's just my personal opinion.

i don't know what you guys are talking about, but I just picked up On the Beach and it's great.

not sure that influences from previous bands are always the case,it is possible to simply re-invent and come up with things attributed to other artists but found through different roots.interesting u mention the mc5 coz they were invented and had unfocused aggression like the pistols on stage.certain things make sense at certain times,so i believe that not all music is influenced by obvious comparative artists, the just got to the same idea as one another.any hoo time to call this to an end as in my experience we'll get flack for taking up the' shout box space'.ha ha

it is true that proto punk was labelled only after punk emerged to the rock scene and it was considered as garage rock before. early punk artists may claim that they have created something original thats not hugely influenced by the black music... which rock n roll and it's sub genres such as hard rock, psychedelic, metal etc clearly were and punk community took pride in that it came mainly from the white (trash culture), but fact to the matter is... everything has been influenced by the previous generation and it would be foolish to deny that. i would find hard to believe if any of the members from pistols hadn't been exposed to the likes of the stooges or mc5 prior to forming the band
