Snarls with Attitude and Anger
Trey Anastasio on Neil Young:
Traditional concepts of rhythm and keys are great, but music is like a giant ocean. It’s a big, furious place, and there are a lot of trenches that haven’t been explored. Neil is still blazing a trail for people who are younger than him, reminding us you can break artistic ground.
Neil Young is #17 on Rolling Stone’s new Greatest Guitarists of All Time list. Eight years ago, the last time Rolling Stone made such a list, Trey was #73 and Neil was #83. But now Trey just gets to say something nice about Neil. What do I know? I just love them both. And hey, Rolling Stone is still around. Hooray for magazines. Whatever shall we do when they are gone?
