Does anyone remember MHK? Kojima avatar? My pick.

Used to have the most reactions in PS Gaf, but it's all about Bo Hazem now. I don't even know if he's still on the top 20 list anymore?

Forced to plebdom. Gaf can be so cruel. :messenger_pensive:

Impossible to answer the question. Even if somebody comes up with the right answer it becomes the wrong answer as soon as somebody reads their post.

Been recently seeing Neil Young Neil Young on GAF. That to me is obscure. I grew up on Neil Young and was with him until Le Noise. After that, his music seemed to dip down and now his music is more lefty politics than it was in 1970. It's obscure to me that I rarely see his posts but I can't tell if it's a fan, the real Neil, or someone who hates him.

A fan.

I first heard Neil when my uncle used to play him in his car. I was about 10. He would usually play After the Gold Rush. I would laugh because my uncle would sing along and do a funny high pitched voice. I was surprised to hear that it was a man singing these songs, I thought it was a woman.

Fast forward to Philadelphia. Of course I knew the classic rock hits but never listened to him too much before the movie. That song fucking moved me. I became a die hard super fan at that point. Seen him in concert 5 times. Attended a Bridge Benefit and got to meet him (shook his hand...it was very soft). I stopped at Silver and Gold as, you're right, his music became to preachy to me.

I know his politics are the complete opposite of mine but I'm able to ignore that. I have to as I love his music so damn much. I'm off to Sugar Mountain.

My Dad became a fan of Neil Young when Time Fades Away was released and first saw Neil Young on the 1983 MidWestern Solo Trans tour w/ the Shocking Pinks. I grew up hearing him but didn't appreciate his music until I was about 12 and starting listening to all albums (including the live ones at the time like Time Fades Away, Unplugged, Weld, and Rust Never Sleeps). Went pretty hardcore. Saw C,S,N, & Y on the "Living With War" tour in 2006 at Tinley Park. I was 18 and just ignored all the political messages going out at that time and enjoyed them play classics. Stephen Stills got really pissed at Neil at the end of the set after Neil played a 25-minute improvised version of Rockin' in the Free World. It was the closer for the night and Stephen Stills walked off. They were battling for loudest guitar that night and Old Black one and Neil pulled the Bigsby and snapped every string off at the end of the song.

Saw him last time at the Chicago Theatre on his 62nd birthday on the Chrome Dreams 2 tour. He played nothing but rare and unreleased songs that only real die hard fans knew. He played "Sad Movies" a song which is not even going to be released with the next Archives boxed set. He ended that night by taking out an old Les Paul Junior and playing his first Squires single for the first time since 1963 - "The Sultan." I felt like my Dad and I were the only ones who knew what "the Sultan" even was. His last great album was Prairie Wind. I felt he never made anything "new" after that but still bought up until Fork in the Road.

Guess you're not so obscure after all.
