Speculation is not reality.

Yet when he got into the business, producers mostly told Neil that he should stick to guitar playing and not try to be a singer/songwriter.

I think Neil could have easly been successful even if he were just a guitar player.

Actually, that WAS how he got his start, he only wrote and sang a few songs for Buffalo Springfield. Stills was the leader of that band mostly, and Young's primary role was as the band's lead guitarist.

Yeah he also had a couple really nice stand out tracks of his own, Cortez the Killer was a great guitar piece of his.

That would mean something if I respected your opinion, but I don't so no worries. I'll let it go and chaulk that up as an immature mishap. It happens, and when you grow up you will realize that it's better to let things go and create a constructive conversation. That's why we are here.

No ****, Sherlock? That's why I said "I don't think he'd ever have gotten anywhere as a guitar player" and not "It's a known fact that Neil Young gave up songwriting because he knew his guitar playing ability would carry him for the rest of his life."

I'm sorry, you want me to grow up? You're the one who tried to bait me when you posted "you bucketface fans sure do get testy" to try to wind me up, then telling me to grow up is a bit hypocritical and childish, don't ya think?

I certainly can't force you to grow up, but yes, it would be nice. I wasn't trying to wind you up, I was trying to dismiss your previous condescending comment and leave it at that. Which is what I will do now. No more off topic blabbering about pointles dribble. Please.

Edit:

p.s. Smile on you brother.

Why are you guys getting so nasty?

Come on people now, smile on your brother, everybody get together and try to love one another right now.

boo boo · 04-09-2009, 04:33 PM

Hey, that's not smiling on your brother.
