Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Neil Young has recorded many live albums, but none capture his two dominant musical personalities with as much power as 1979's Rust Never Sleeps. The acoustic side opens with "My, My, Hey, Hey (Out of the Blue)", a devastating anthem about the state of rock & roll. Comparing the Sex Pistols' Johnny Rotten to the late Elvis Presley, Young delivers perhaps his most famous line: "It's better to burn out than to fade away." Side two demonstrates the emotional power of Young's hard-rocking quartet, Crazy Horse, with the scathing political songs "Powderfinger", "Welfare Mothers", and the loud reprise of "My, My, Hey, Hey". --Steve Knopper

No Rust Yet,
By
This review is from: Rust Never Sleeps (Audio CD)
It's hard to believe that I picked up "Rust Never Sleeps" on vinyl more than 20 years ago. I just downloaded the album the other day and it still holds up all these years! God, I recommend everybody go and revisit this album (or pick it up for the first time if you've never heard it before). This album still rocks!

Grime and Glory,
By Mark (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rust Never Sleeps (Audio CD)
I guess this album was considered some sort of comeback for Neil Young in the seventies, although, let's face it , he'd been there for years. I first heard "Hey Hey My My" on the soundtrack of Dennis Hopper's great, depressing movie "Out of the Blue" (for real!) playing over shots of seagulls swarming over a garbage dump - somehow that image is very appropiate to the music. This album is Neil Young at his most enigmatic and powerful, a combination that only him and Dylan have been able to pull off with any degree of real success. Somehow, the combination of meloncholic acoustic songs and bruising rockers results in an album that's of one piece, instead of one that's an awkard mish-mash. This should really be one of the first five Neil Young albums that you should buy - if you buy that many and feel that you don't need any more, you're not truly a fan.

Neil Young Raw Sound Heard on this CD,
By
This review is from: Rust Never Sleeps (Audio CD)
It's a raw sound, but full of emotion. Young sings from the heart...he is not one of those high-image guys. What you see is what you get, and I would expect what you hear on this album is a good indicator of the energy one feels at a Neil Young concert. He'll be rocking in the free world until he is 75!!
