Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Cortez the Killer (appreciation)[views:3051][posts:43]_________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 3:57pm - MikeOv ""] "There's a beauty and transcendence to be found in sadness." Taken from Rust Never Sleeps; this song contains some of the most depressing yet epic leadwork, complimented by Neil's unmistakable voice. One of my favorite songs ever. Pure audio heroin. bennyhillifier |

| ____________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:00pm - arilliusbm ""] posted this in one of hoser's threads last month ;) one of my favorite songs of all time too |
| _________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:00pm - MikeOv ""] arrest me then, faggot. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:00pm - arilliusbm ""] they were all on PCP on the recording - or so I've heard |
| _________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:02pm - MikeOv ""] Well, at least it now gets its own, official appreciation thread. We can both agree that it deserves it. Do drugs and watch Rust Never Sleeps later or you're sxe. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:02pm - arilliusbm ""] I have the DVD. Watched it a few months ago. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:03pm - MikeOv ""] Me too, I usually watch it every couple of months or so. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:04pm - arilliusbm ""] let's start a band |
| _________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:05pm - MikeOv ""] I like the way you think. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:07pm - reimroc ""] i love neil young. |
| ___________________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:09pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] the more i listen to neil young the more i realize what a terrible guitarist/singer he is. excellent songwritter though for sure. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:11pm - arilliusbm ""] while everyone has their take on neil young, I disagree wholeheartedly with FIMS. but it's all good. I know a bunch of people that can't stand his voice |
| _________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:13pm - MikeOv ""] It's an acquired taste. I like his voice, and it suits this song perfectly. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:20pm - arilliusbm ""] I also like the lyrical content of this song. |
| ___________________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:26pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i do like a few of his songs ...mostly the stuff with CSNY and Buffalo Springfield but his solo stuff just aint my cup o whiskey. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:28pm - MikeOv ""] Me too. hernan Cortez was a piece of shit. This thread would get more appreciation if it contained fappable material of a teenage pop star's provocative photos. But fuck that shit, I'll stick to my audio heroin! |
| __________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:30pm - brian_dc ""] Definitely dig this song. And I love his guitar sound on this video |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:32pm - arilliusbm ""] Brian District of Columbia, have you heard the studio version? |
| __________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:37pm - brian_dc ""] I can't remember. The only Neil Young solo album I know I have and listen to semi-frequently is the Dead Man soundtrack. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:38pm - arilliusbm ""] Check it out. It's off their album Zuma. Great album. The guitar tone does the song more justice than the live version IMO. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:39pm - brian_dc ""] I shall take this recommendation. Danke. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:41pm - MikeOv ""] Live version > studio version. Without question. Both rule though. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:42pm - arilliusbm ""] you're outta the band |
| _________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:43pm - MikeOv ""] Aww shucks |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:43pm - arilliusbm ""] YOURE OUTTA THE BAND FOR THINKING LIVE NEIL YOUNG IS BETTER THAN STUDIO NEIL YOUNG |
| _________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:43pm - MikeOv ""] I was never cut out for it anyway. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:44pm - arilliusbm ""] I'm waiting to read Martin's comments on this. It's the opinion that really matters |
| __________________________________ [Oct 23,2009 4:45pm - brian_dc ""] TOO BIG FOR THE LIVE VERSION |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 22,2010 2:41pm - arilliusbm ""] Bump for LPCustom |

| ____________________________________ [Jul 22,2010 2:47pm - arilliusbm ""] Studio version is better IMHO: bennyhillifier |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 22,2010 2:53pm - arilliusbm ""] That version is shortened? |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 22,2010 3:22pm - blessed_offal ""] apreeshed |
| __________________________________ [Jul 22,2010 5:42pm - cav nli ""] cortez is definitely a top 5 neil young song. there is no such thing as a BEST song when it comes to neil but if there was, this MIGHT be it. |
| ____________________________________________ [Jul 22,2010 5:58pm - blessed offal nli ""] seriously such a great song |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 5,2011 5:27pm - arilliusbm ""] Bump. Song still slays.. he may play it live next week |
| ______________________________ [Jun 13,2011 7:03pm - BSV ""] this song haunts my life. the cut off of Weld is by far my favorite. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 13,2011 7:12pm - arilliusbm ""] BSV said:this song haunts my life. the cut off of Weld is by far my favorite. it's such a relaxing version. the leads drag you in. i want to somehow make this into a nice doom song, but keep the same feel. gonna make it a goal of mine. |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 13,2011 7:50pm - arktripolius ""] ughhhhh so BACKED. |
| ______________________________ [Jun 13,2011 8:58pm - BSV ""] i've been wanting to cover this for awhile........ |
| _______________________________________________ [Jun 13,2011 9:19pm - IllinoisEnemaBradness ""] I just recorded a version of Don't Let it Bring You down, I can't get the vocals right though. I too, love this song |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 13,2011 9:20pm - arilliusbm ""] Let's do it up |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 13,2011 9:48pm - LPCustom ""] Any Neil Young love is back to a million. Fucking awesome. |
