Why George Harrison Was Not a Fan of Neil Young: 'I Can’t Stand It'
George Harrison was always quite a blunt person, but he really didn’t hide his feelings about a fellow musician, Neil Young. All musicians are critical about certain things, but George didn’t enjoy Young’s music even a little bit. Here’s what George had to say about the “Heart of Gold” musician.
In a piece of rare footage from 1992, George works in the studio with Dave Stewart, Bob Geldof, and Chucho Merchán. While they work, Geldof asks the ex-Beatle what he thinks of Young’s “Around The World.”
According to Far Out, George replies, “I’m not a Neil Young fan.” Geldof continues to say that he thinks Young is a good guitar player, but George interjects with: “I hate it, yeah I can’t stand it.”
