flyingarmadillo Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Yes I saw this.... Low starting prices - Marshall stacks start at $1k.....mouth-watering vintage cars.... And he's got a friggin' Nakamichi Dragon!!! While the Dragon was technically better, most people thought that the LX-5 sounded better. You had to tweak the Dragon too much to get proper sound out of it. I've had both, and I prefer the working LX-5 I still have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretplay Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 There certainly is a lot of gear there, must be a story to this somewhere. Perhaps he needs the money, he did split up with his wife, that can be expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Wow... Saw some stuff there. Yep, I like the red Buick Road Master and a couple of the amplifiers. We'll see how the bidding goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Whoaah.. what the hell is that thing :) 100 watt x 2 channel solid state. They aren't expensive like some of the tube McIntosh amps, probably go for $500-$700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
american cheez Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 i'm not a giant neil young fan, but there was some pretty cool stuff for sale. in certain items, his taste is reflected. pretty interesting, i thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Very cool stuff. And the estimated prices are definitely decent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody78 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I'm a big fan of Neil. He has some cool stuff in the auction, but I wonder why he has a left handed ES345? Maybe he was stoned when he bought that one and thought it was right handed at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldtop2 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Ive heard that Neil Shon(did I spell that right?) of Journey had some of his stuff for sale at Bananas in San Francisco. I wonder if Bananas is buying any of it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allenjason95 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 There certainly is a lot of gear there, must be a story to this somewhere. Perhaps he needs the money, he did split up with his wife, that can be expensive! Lots of artists seem to be doing this. I doubt he really needs the money, but he’s getting up there, maybe he just wanted to get rid of some of the stuff he’s picked up over the years?

I always enjoyed playing Cowgirl in the Sand with a few bands in the past and drawing it out as long as possible. I could play a solo over Am-F for 30 minutes plus and still not get bored. I love that song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldtop2 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Ive heard Arlen Roth say Neil Young sucks but Neil has outsold Arlen Roth by millions. Neil mustve been doing something amazing. Maybe had some more unique chord voicings than your average player. Neil Young in my opinion was good quality music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arlen can play circles around Neil Young, I'm sure...but what has that to do with anything? Plenty of great songs out there by groups that can't play at all.

There are a million guys who can play great, YouTube is full of 14 year olds that can shred, but that doesn’t mean anything if you can’t perform or write a great song. I had to look up who Arlen Roth even was just now, I’d never heard of him. Maybe he’s a great player but how many great songs has he written?

cody78 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Like I mentioned I'm a huge fan of Neil's music, but even I will say that he was never a good guitarist 'technically'... What he does have is his own style and sound which are instantly recognisable and this is what set him apart from others. He is really a songwriter before anything and a great one in my opinion. I am a fan of very proficient guitarists too, but I probably listen to Neil more frequently than any of those guys. I'd say his solo in Cortez (the original Zuma version) is up there with any great player in terms of atmosphere, restraint and feel. Nobody could have played it better I think. I've seen a video of Joe Satriani playing Cortez once he just didn't get the feel or sound right at all - it was awful (and I am a fan of Satriani, but he can't play Neil tunes. Equally Neil couldn't play Satriani). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-b76yiqO1E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rct Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 We're working up Cinnamon Girl this week, add it to Ohio and Rocking Inna Free World. We like doing Neil. rct That went well! Genuine, authentic, three old guys playing flannel shirted grunge from long before it was called grunge. The only thing I dig more than Crazy Horse is Neil's love songs. Someday I will have a band I will, it will have the right instruments and 4 good voices. I will Martin up and warble my way through Helpless, just like The Band and Neil on the Last Waltz. I wept in 1978 watching that, I still do whenever I see it, I'm sure I would never get through it with good harmonies without bawling like a baby. And then, Harvest Moon. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
