Neil doesn't know this, but for the last 40 or so years, he has been riding shotgun with me. Through all the happiness and the heartache, the laughter and the tears. He has been right there the whole time. Thanks, Neil, it would have all sounded like shit without you there.
This might just be one of the most touching posts I have read online. Thanks, man.
I hear you! Here too. He's been my co=pilot
Absolutely. Thank you, Uncle Neil.
I hear you. My old man was a massive Neil Young fan, so I was pretty heavily exposed to Neil's music, but like many kids I kinda went down my own musical path. But when dad died nearly 11 years ago, I started listening to Neil again. Really listening. And got hooked. Neil's punctuated so many lows and so many highs. Wish I could thank him for being there every time.
Indeed 3 great speeches here. Eddie's, Niels and Sean's. Peace guys
“I’d like to thank Kurt Cobain for giving me inspiration to renew my commitments and most of all, I love you, Peggy.” That’s beautiful.
Yeah. That's when he still loved his wife, during her cancer, then dumped her unceremoniously for that tart daryl Hannah.
Not that your judgemental or hateful
@@marianfrances4959 he was
@@melissatyree566 No that's incorrect. Pegi and Neil separated in 2014, and though it looks like he took up fairly quickly with Hannah, Pegi's cancer was not evident until 2017 at least.

Have you ever dumped anyone?
A grunge icon inducting the godfather of grunge into R&R Hall of Fame. What an honour!
I met Neil Young backstage at Winterland in the seventies. I will never forget what he said to my brother and me. He turned and with a wild look in his eyes he said MAN I HAVE TO PISS BAD.
That’s fucken fantastic!!!!!!!
Lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😅
gotta love the ticketmaster slam
They were the 150 down votes here LOL
They went on to partner with them 😂
@@travzimmerman1340 No they didn't.
Sellouts
I love Neil Young he's so chill. He's just happy to be around. He's the man.
Same here...he is really good guy.....
ask his exwife
Thank you! We agree! My mom named my brother after Neil!
No, my name is Nicole.My oldest Brother, Neil, was named by my Mom, & she named him after Neil Young!🎶🎵
I wasn't named after anyone, but my Mom liked the name Nicole around the year I was born, which was 1986.
Great speech by Eddie Vedder. Very sincere and heartfelt tribute to Mr. Young.
agree 100%
Neil's music comes from his brain, his heart and his soul.
He has no soul ....he sold it long ago...
It's pretty remarkable that Eddie, at such a young age here, demonstrates his rich understanding of all that makes Neil so great.
i could listen to him ramble on all day, what a treasure that guy is
***** i was speaking about Neil because i think at the end, he said he was just ramblin.
(but yeah, Eddie's quite the treasure as well)
kingoftomatoes: yes, but it was Led Zeppelin, who was first influenced by Neil Young, back in the 60's and the 70's you can hear it in their song, "Down by the seaside"
bkrbyex4339 we
he really is :')
@@bkrbyex4339 Tangerine sounded like Neil Young as well.
"I could never made it without you guys" so beautiful
I'm brazilian and in 1978 I began to listen to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, introduced by a friend. I taught myself the acoustic guitar and bought a harmonica to use with an aluminum rack. I wanted to learn how to play Neil's folk songs so much that I succeeded into playing both together, after insisting very very much.
His humility and authenticity can bring tears to one's eyes
Vedder is one beautiful human being, thank you mother earth for bring him into our lives
I've been listening to Neil Young for over 50 years. I don't expect him to say thank you. No thank you Neil Young for being yourself. You are what you are and that is real. Always love your style and your music you brought so much joy to my life. Long may you run Neil.
Amen to that, Jim. 50+ yrs. Me too. He IS the soundtrack of my life. I LOVE HIM SOOOOO MUCH and ALWAYS WILL.
Neil Young top 7 all time Rock N Roller.
Has over 1180 copyrighted songs and counting. Twice as many as Dylan.
Networth $200,000,000. Didn't sell for commercials. Does benefit concerts for disabled children ,farmers, environmental issues etc....
Made millions of $$$$$$ for these organizations. Born To Rock .
I like Neil too, but he has sold his song catalog to an investment firm (Hipgnosis), so he has actually has signed away rights for his songs to be used in commercials, advertisements, and such. It's his property, he can certainly do what he wants with it, but it made me feel a little disheartened. They seem to all sell out eventually.
@@JayHarveyRockNRoll
I think Neil still has some say in the use of his songs . Also, he's getting up there in age, I'm pretty sure he wanted to take care of business before some corrupt lawyers get a hold of his fortune.
Regardless, He Is Born To Rock He'll Never Be An Opera Star.
@@artvallejos1460 some things never change, they stay the way they are
@@cbartal1
give your ticket to moe the sleaze, he's the one that's weak in the knees , his pants are baggy but you can see em shakin'.
@@artvallejos1460 this is the story of Johnny rotten
Love that Eddie said a great Canadian.
Awesome speech! Congratulations Neil and great introduction by Eddie!
I love Eddie Vedder! He is so funny and also has a "Heart of Gold"! Congrats Neil!
"Keep on Rockin in The Free World!
Can't believe how young and sprightly Eddie Vedder looks here; then I realize that 1995 was 20 years ago...just wow. Neil is da man, that is for sure. A musical powerhouse and a legend :)
77missconduct I know it's crazy the 90s seems like yesterday. All of my significant memories are in the 90s
+77missconduct He is indeed, ...btw...sweet picture.
He’s still rocking and rolling!
A happy Neil warms my heart.
My daughter is 23 yrs young and she sings your songs with her guitar . Ciara loves your music. ❤️of gold.💥💥💥💥
he has done many inductions, he has praised many rock legends, it is coming up to your time Eddie and your band,. may it all come back to you, may the world of rock genuflect on such a pure and raw rock talent, the most natural of any inductees, yes the rock heavens will open up and welcome in, finally, one of the greatest of all time....Pearl Jam!!!!
And who is inducing Pearl Jam? Neil Young! Fitting to say the least!
His induction of R.E.M. is almost as good as this.
Neil Young - thank you for all you do for me in my life.
Please. More of this sincere from the heart. Thank you Neil.
Neil Young is an awesome person. The guy can rock and he's not an asshole like a lot of famous musicians. He did not let the fame and success get to his head. Mr. Neil Young is a inspiration to all musicians that wanted to do it their own way and not sell out to corporate agendas and what society thinks is cool at the moment. God Bless You Sir
Totally!
100%
Perhaps it’s because he’s Canadian that he’s so humble?
I mean, Neil Young is my favourite musician of all time, but he's a complicated man and far from a saint. He hurt a lot of people and he was an asshole in several occasions - he's the first to admit it. I suggest reading his biography Shakey - it gives quite an incredible full picture of this great but troubled man.
Here's a nice story for you. One day after this speech, Neil would play an unplanned encore with Pearl Jam and got excited. So excited, he ditched up Crazy Horse and producer Briggs without even telling them, and flew to Seattle to record with Pearl Jam (that would be Mirror Ball). His beloved band, who he "couldn't make it without them", practiced the songs a whole day in the studio before understanding Neil won't show up. When interviewed about it, Neil said he felt it was the right choice creatively, and to quote him "you got to make calls that hurt people. There's no way around it. It's the only way to go".
This whole story happened literally three days after this speech.
@@yanivbin7521 Yeah, he missed a day of work. Not the worst thing in the world.
it doesn't get eddie vedder than this! :-))
lol, brilliant
hahaha
Who was Luke Skywalker's nemesis in Star Wars? Was it Darth Vedder or Eddie Vadar? I can never remember.

Lol nice
Who better than Eddie Vedder to induct Neil into the Rock and Roll H.O.F.Great speak by both very talented men.
Nice to see the other side of Neil Young here;Being emotional and such.
The first song I ever played on guitar was "Heart Of Gold"...Took me years to learn how to play the rest of Neil's music;I'm still learning.Thank You Neil for many,many years of Amazing Music...KEEP ON ROCKIN IN THE FREE WORLD! PEACE AND LOVE AND JUSTICE...
For those of you who think he should thank his fans let me tell you that after years as a local crew person working with many different bands he is one of the few that came up to us and said "thank you for all your work" the only other two in my years have been Bruce Springsteen and Toby Keith that's it 3 in almost 10 years.
awesome words / llike . privacy
Ilike .privacy Loved hearing your praise for Bruce and Toby . That isnt surprising knowing that they are both genuinely caring guys. Nice of you to point that out. Bruce is my life. thank you ....
+llike .privacy I have friends who are professional clowns, storytellers, and magicians. They have worked at parties and events for years for more famous people. And the only one who ever came up to them and asked them how they were doing, did they need a break, are they getting enough food and drink - that was Robin Williams. So thanks for that story, and props to Neil, Bruce, Toby, and Robin.
Neil is very thankful to his fans at shows, maybe he just didn't want to do it in this forum. One show I saw him at, he said "I'm gonna pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming. Just checkin'." after a particularly loud applause.
Awesome: Roadies count too
So love this.... And proud have this video... Man I love you Neil!
Best speech ever...nothing fake about Neil. What i respect the most is that he's true to himself and knows what matters most. Loved what Eddie had to say, too. They are both awesome people and musicians...and everything they do comes straight from the heart.
Was a real pleasure listening to Eddie Vedder’s speech. I like Neil’s awkwardness and sincerity. Well deserved award.
Neil Young is the man! Rock n roll will never die!
This was 8 years ago, and he's still relevant.
Love, love, love Neil Young
You only have to say "Neil" and you know who it is. An amazing artist by any measure. What a fantastic career this man has had.
Such a hard worker too, knows nothing is for nothing.
Kurt Cobain. Thanks, Neil. Now I'm all choked up, too. (Vedder did a terrific job with his intro speech. Vastly impressive speechmaking skills.)
I think Eddie has inducted more musicians than anyone
Springsteen has done 5: Roy Orbison, Dylan, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Jackson Browne and U2.
Keep on rocking in the free world! keep on rocking Neil
Please never die Neil, glad life treated this man well… Legendary musician
I saw Pearl Jam, Neil Young, Soundgarden, & Blues Travelers in Toronto '91! Most Fucking amazing show!A joint "rocken in a free world performance of PearlJam & Mr. Young I will never forget, all I can say is Amazing!
I think he felt what it was to live on sugar mountain for a few minutes. Nice to see both Eddie and Neil smile,
Eddie inducts nearly everyone hahaha, what a legend. Is he friends with everyone.
Eddie, you have my heart... Just love everything about you!
Eddie did a very good induction of R.E.M..
I think that when somebody, an artist as amazing as Neil Young, is inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, it's just such a huge moment for that person that it's really difficult to put everything that they're feeling into words. Some might say that Neil doesn't seem grateful, or that he can't give a good speech. But, I don't think there's such thing as a 'good speech' for something like this. The fact is, you don't even need words when you're being inducted. You just need heart. Neil has it
His humor, Oh God. What a smart and handsome man.
NeilYoung helped me learn toplay music with feel from my heart and writing my owñ songs
One of the greats. A well deserved induction.
i got my knuckles tattooed: Left Hand: LOST. Right hand: LOVE. what an inspiration Young and Cohen are to me
my favorite artist inducting his favorite artist and one of the most influential musicians of all time.
When he stopped for a second after her thanked Kurt Cobain, I felt that. He almost broke down. He knew what the world had lost and Kurt made him realize how important his music is to this world, and we thank you, Neil. We also thank you, Kurt.
still the same shrewd smile on Neil`s face after all this years. Just love that guy. Forever.
One of my favorite farmers.
Lol absolutely the best farmer!
Honestly I'd be surprised if Neil did thank his fans. He doesn't write his music for his fans, and most of his fans can't stand half of his work because a lot of his music was just written for himself. Neil Young is a private man on a public stage, I respect that and don't feel entitled to anything.
jalalipop that's how I see it to. We have an option choice to lesson in on Neil and understand some of his life his stories.
Funny tho we all have so much bottled up and some better stories then even all csn&y combined. And most ppl like talking about them selves. We just don't have a platform.
Neil won the lottery of life.
Cory Britton so you think Niel young has some heart ack? how different is that for any of us. None. You fuck head pice of shit. There's no way you'd talk to me face to face like that so you attack some stranger you'll never have to face on the internet. You're a coward and a freak. And I hope you're as ugly on the outside as you are inside.
Cory Britton by the way ass hole. Niels songs past decade suck and to make it like he did was luck and help of csn.
AT THE END HE ENJOYS THE MONEY
I agree, and I think music NEEDS to be made by the artist for the artist.. That's the only way it feels genuine to me.
"I love you Pegi" Now we know what an awesome man he is.
Hard to say what brought it about, but he divorced Pegi in 2014, (she died of cancer 1/1/19) and the Royal Canadian is now married to Darryl Hannah, which is something Jackson Browne never did.
Long May You Run, Uncle Neil. Long May You Run.
the biggest thrill for me it to watch and see who is really grateful and humble and who has let the success go to their head.AND who is acting better than they sang. I think Eddie and Neil are humble btw.
Thank you lord for Neil Young he has helped me thru bad times and good i don't know where i would be without his songs.....God bless
He looked Awesome back then.... he's such a Cool dude....
Neil can connect with so many people with his song writing and he will forever be in my debt because he has helped my mom and I get closer to one another with just his songs. Thank you for that.
Wow!
That just re-instilled my faith in humanity. Thanks Neil Young. Thanks for the tears of everything I forgot I believed in running down my face right now.
I've never been able to figure out quite how I feel about Neil. He's quirky, original, sincere, aggravating, unpredictable, and a bunch of other things that make him one of a kind in rock music. What I do know for sure is that I've never been able to stop listening to him since I first heard him in the Buffalo Springfield days. There have been a few times I really didn't like some stuff he did, but there has never been a time I could live without him.
"things have been good for me for a long time, so if I look sad ... it's bullshit .. forget it ... I'm doing good"
Hey Neil Young I remember the day that you got inducted Paul McCartney into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame it was quite honor and accomplishment of great music you have created all these 50 years of playing all over the world congratulations please do keep on rocking in the free world thank you for great music.
Love you uncle Neil , your music will be with me forever
I love Neil Young. He inspired me to pick up a guitar. Hey hey my my rock and roll will never die.
Neil is a true hero and gentleman
One of the greatest for sure
And he is STILL on top
I saw him last year in Munich
with Promise of the Real
That was one of the best shows
of all time (and I have seen many)
I hope he comes back to Europe soon
I will be there for sure
Eddie Vedder did a class job with his speech.
All of the band should have been given this trophy and inducted!
My two favorites. Humorous address, very honest revelations about what the artists must endure to provide us with entertainment.
My brother was named after Neil Young.He & Eddie go back a long ways.Music soothes the soul.Go somewhere else if you're a hater!
wow! didn't know that.
A living legend. Godspeed Neil.
I must admit that was perhaps the most entertaining and touching moment from any music awards ceremony I've ever seen. Two awesome talented guys; both have contributed a lot to my life's enjoyment.
Greatest Canadian Artist ever and still rock hard. I saw him live a few years ago and it was magical, he played a solid 3 hours of everything he's done :)!
With all the music legends who have fallen this year (Prince, Bowie, Merle Haggard, Natalie Cole, Leon Russell, Leonard Cohen.) I think Eddie's words at 3:31 have even more meaning than back in 1995.
Eddie Vedder is truly one of a kind. Eddie’s kept it 💯 since day one! Thank u Eddie for always staying true to yourself! Bless Eddie Vedder, he’s truly the last great frontman of our generation!
Glad I saw this legend live with Crazy Horse in 2013. Great person.
"I'm really happy that there is so much great music out there." That's something you won't here today:(
tree.house truth hurts
Maybe if you stopped bitching so much about how music todays sucks you could actually take the time to discover the good music that's out there today.
***** I don't bitch or whine I point out truth. I do know good music today and it's not what you hear on the radio or buy in stores. It's underground where artists are still artists and not puppets. Speaking of puppets...........
AgileMJOLNIR So basically what you're telling me is that there is good music out there today, but there isn't any good music out there today? Okay.
Really dude? Did I not type clear enough for you? Because I'm more than happy to go get a box of crayons and draw you a picture. I prefer not to though, I'm drinking a beer and most likely in for the night.
Who gives a damn if he thanked the fans?! It's his talent and perseverance that brought him here, he's an amazing talent and I thank him for sharing his music, whether he gives a damn about me or not
i love Eddies voice😍
I thanked Neil Young for his Music I even learned to play his song and Harmonica. I still listen to his music until now and I even play his music in my Band.
Neil actually helped form my life since I was about 14 . Him and Bob . My 1st love was a Neil fanatic so I hurried up and learned some of Neil's songs and that's how I won her love . Pretty weird , huh ???
I could listen to him talk ALL DAY LONG
neil has a very distinctive voice. u could tell at once it is neil..crisp deep voice, no one comes close
Neil Young is a true treasure and inspiration,his music is absolute gold.His stare to the crowd at the very start said alot,thats for sure.
And so incredibly deserving of the honor...Neil your music has not only inspired me but has gotten me thru some dark moments. Thank You. Rock On!
Listening to him since Buffalo Springfield but living on the edge of North America only saw him live once. I could not believe I was in the same building as him; a highlight for sure.
The only songs I can sing and play on the guitar are, Neil songs. From Chile, south América, thanks boss.
recently learning "the needle and the damage" 2019
Neil Young is both an
Icon AND an Iconoclast
Cheers, Neil. Not a single Canadian; camping/fishing/road trip goes by with out a good Neil Young song. I switch Rush off the radio to listen to you.
He's such a humble man💓 him.
glad hes still here? yes so glad hes here!
Wow, what a class act.
Love you Neil!!!! Always have been!!!!❤️
You said share my thoughts...ok Neil was real and very gifted and thoughtful ...and like he said there many great Bands out there...For me music saved my soul...music has changed my mood for the better so many times...and many people that are in this room on this video here are the gifts we got this great music from...So I want to thank you all ...you did good Neil...proud of you...Lansing
Neil so humble so good. One of the best ax players around.
Congratulations, you deserve it.
I have admired that guy for over 40 years he is just as good today
I remember when I got my first album..it was Queen Killers...Then my mom went to her closet and pulled out a Harvest sleeve. Been a Neil Young fan ever since.
He is never shy at a party!
Not only talented, but Neil is a very likeable man
