- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Original VHS version From the film Human Highway - 1982
LYRICS:
My my, hey hey
Rock and roll is here to stay
It's better to burn out
Than to fade away
My my, hey hey.
Out of the blue
and into the black
They give you this,
but you pay for that
And once you're gone,
you can never come back
When you're out of the blue
and into the black.
The king is gone
but he's not forgotten
This is the story
of a Johnny Rotten
It's better to burn out
than it is to rust
The king is gone
but he's not forgotten.
Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.
How in the hell did this old man never hear of this collaboration. Outstanding.
At age 50 as a 30+ year fan I was asking myself this very question! I've never been a fan of Neil Young but I thought I'd seen even the most obscure of everything that is the genius of Devo. This shit is a trip to put it mildly!
From Neil's film Human Highway ruclips.net/video/qyEd1uJN21I/видео.html&pp=gAQBiAQB
I hear ya!Love Neil Young and Devo and never knew this existed 😮
Exactly what I was thinking 😂
@@combatgirl38 I only vaguely remember hearing about this. I'm a big Neil Young fan and love the 1st two Devo LPs. Bizarre is the only word I can think of. SO glad I got to see it.
This is why RUclips is so worth it when out of nowhere, a gem like this appears. Never heard it, never heard of it, and now I can never forget it.
Right? Jeeiz fkn christo that was!
HERE HERE!
My God...68 years old and never knew this existed before today. Just outstanding. Thank you Neil and Devo!!
Greatest moment in the history of early 80's rock.
same
Holy Shit...Get OUT. Is this legit?
Neil young , Human Highway. Neil Young always way ahead of his time just like DEVO. Someday maybe people will catch on. Neil is hard to keep up with but always spot on.
@@ilostmypicklenot the product of an AI, well, at least not as we know them in 2024 😉
I'm going to build a time machine, so I can go back to 1982 and play this on my FM radio show in North Carolina. To match Neil Young with DEVO in performing this song is twisted and priceless. I saw this in my feed this morning and played it as I got up. What a great day to be alive!
Well I'm going to build a time machine too and go back to 1995 and play this on my pirate radio station in the south suburbs of Chicago! Jolly Roger Radio - Anchored at 88.1 when we weren't not sailing across your FM dial!
This makes more sense now than it did 40 years ago.
Donald Trump: The greatest example of Devo's theory of De-evolution.
(Trump even had a Secretary of Education named Betsy DeVos.)
@@iliketowatch. who was an Amway billionaire
EXACTLY.
@@iliketowatch. YES. Yes he did.
@@iliketowatch. Lol didn’t think it could get worse than Trump and out rolls Biden! Devolution is real.
Who's still here in 2024?
This was one of the most psychedelic moments in rock n roll history
Naw it was nae,😂
surreal is a better word for it
How about, 7th Floor Elevators, Roky Erickson?
Agree with the 7th Floor Roky comment below (I mean above). This was a weird mashup. Before Mashups.
Watching this finally triggered one of those flashbacks that they have been promising us for decades.
I’m not sure why I have never heard of this before. How does insanity like this manage to fly under the radar? I love both Neil and Devo. This was amazing. Now I have to find the movie.
I first bought it on VHS
It was a movie made by Niel Young apparently.
....Shakey pictures presents a film by Neil Young..........HUMAN HIGHWAY ..
@@Fectual back when vhs movies were $80.
@@yuvgotubekidding $8 on the clearance rack
If you just found this like me in 2022 - I think there is still time to tune in, turn on, and drop out
2026
Like another commenter, I’m 60 and never knew about this video. I knew DEVO were on stage with Neil Young during his tour at this time but I never knew anything about this video. DEVO were instrumental in changing my attitude towards music at the time. In fact my first ever concert was DEVO at the Santa Monica Civic, summer of 1980. I was hooked! Next The Cars, The B-52’s, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Plasmatics, PiL, X, etc etc. So much great music.
Neil Young has recorded with DEVO and with Rick James (They were in a band years ago in Canada). Can you imagine what a Neil Young/DEVO/Rick James concert would have been like? I think it might have opened up a wormhole to a different dimension. Too bad we can't find out.
I can definitely imagine what it would sound like in the green room “zonkkkkkkkkk, zoooootttt!”
COCAINE is a hell of a drug!!😃
DEVO is a hell of a drug
@@KarlLind that tour bus must have been wild
They should have performed on Chappelle's show.
Surprised this was never put out on a physical release. So good. We need to beam this into outer space.
It clearly CAME from outer space!
😂😂😂😂
@@davidzachmeyer1957 It penetrated my inner space!
It was...., I've owned it until the VHS transitioned to DVD. Yet, i believe my father found a copy of the DVD format
As well, Neil did the soundtrack for the movie Dead Man, awFUCKINmazing!!!
Scare away hostils.
I love it when people don't take themselves too seriously.
Neils hilarious.
Absolutely!!! If you can't get silly, WTF are you even doing?❤
Neil has so much fun here im beaming im sure the strings were buzzing and out of tune on Old Black and he does not care.
If you think for one second either Devo or Neil Young don't take themselves seriously, you've missed the point
@@shwnsll5947right you are. different types have different ways of expressing it
Just when I think there is something that Neil Young hasn't done and couldn't be more awesome, I am proven wrong.
And Devo is loving jamming with Neil Young, because who wouldn't?
It is like my youth just got re-booted. Hell yeah… and thanks for reminding me I am alive 🙏🏻
I should thank you for this post! I watch it whenever I need to shake out my brain. For everyone else...this jam is a glorious centerpiece from the 1982 movie HUMAN HIGHWAY, a dream project of Neil Young's made during his live-fast years. A lot of his manic energy was involved in its production as a quirky dystopian apocalyptic comedy musical, co-starring Dean Stockwell and Dennis Hopper (four years before they made BLUE VELVET). HUMAN HIGHWAY is a fascinating document, both uneven and stunning--plus you get to see Dennis Hopper twirling with a shovel on his shoulder as he linedances with the ensemble of performers.
Complete with the famous Neil one-note solo. Love it.
King of the one note lead.
@@dwaynesbadchemicals You really gotta commit to choking that thing out. 😜
I totally read this comment right as he started his solo! Yes!
Pearl Jam opened for Young. His 1st number a 1 note solo for an eternity. Walked out. Had school yhe next day.
@@johns9969Buddy had tix for a NY show. His wife had to work on short notice so I went along in her stead. We're both NY fans, him moreso, but we ended up walking out too.
Art of Noise was the opening act. Lived up to their name. maybe that's where the trouble started. Neil was performing with Crazy Horse. The end of every tune was like a flashback to my youth, playing in garage / basement bands. BRAMP! BRAMP! RRAMP! BRANGDANGADANGADANGA FRAP BOOM CHUCK BUGGA BOOMP DIP THUMPADA THRUMPADA BRANGADANGADANGADANGADANGGGGGGGGG BADUMP BOOM CHUCKATA CHUCKATA BRANGANADANGADANGA.... and so on for, as you say, an eternity. Sheesh. After a while we looked at each other and got up to walk out. To the tune of "Keep on Rockin' in the Free World" - one of the tunes I'd have loved to have stuck around to hear - I was singing "Keep on wankin' on the gee-tarrrrr."
We're both still Neil Young fans but I guess we were hoping for a bit more magic and a bit less wank. Not in the right mood(?) We _had_ taken all the necessary steps to get there. Maybe it was the less than stellar seats. Anyway, no shade on Neil's songwriting catalog, recordings, ethics and aesthetic... just a bit on the wanking. 😁
Devo and Neil had a unique connection. I was not aware that this particular connection even existed, though! Brilliant! Long live Devo! And Neil, thanks for the Devo props!
Kent State, Ohio. Mothersbaugh was there when the students were shot dead by National Guardsmen and Neil Young sang about "Ohio".
Also, eventually Neils Manager was theirs. He got them on Saturday Night Live (the manager did).
It was st.Kurt who so dubbed Neil Young: Godfather Of Grunge, for such as thus.
that's the connection, Ohio!
@@user-gh8wt2zi2n Yep, Dave Mothersbaugh went to Kent State to avoid going to the Vietnam war (His brother went, I think he still alive and was in Devo)
I've not listened to Devo since 1981-ish. I had the blue vinyl. I just listened to "are we not men" and ..mind blown. Next, this. I am speechless to say the least.
I also listened to Live Rust a lot and i never knew this existed. Punk really was my first true experience of music as a kid. Next search is Caberet Voltaire
Neil understood this aspect of rock in its infancy. So here we are - rock legend Neil Young together with DEVO featuring Booji Boy in his crib jamming unashamedly on his electronic keyboard to Neil’s anthem HeyHey MyMy. Classic collaboration! ☢️
He did it again with Pearl Jam 10 years later. Neal has been in a lot of music scenes. Legendarily talented!
Neil Younf and Neil younger
Holy Shit. This IS Rock and Roll. Its very essence! Thank You Neil and Devo. (And Booji Boy!)
When Geffen says they want another "Harvest"...
Yeah this wasnt IT, suffice to say-
Take it fellas
😂
Says the non musician, who has never released anything music
Lol isn’t that funny 😂
Why have I just run across this? It may well be the greatest thing on RUclips.
THIS is freaking mesmerizing.
Why have I never heard this before? Incredible!
Same here, first time seeing this
You guys must have never seen his Human Highway film.
Your Mom's basement has lead-lined walls and lots of radon.
So scary!
@@michaeltaylor4984 If you mean me, I'm 58 and was around at the time!
It is an Unknown classic in our time
We're going to need a bigger like button 😮
This is absolutely awesome.
I think I've seen this video before when it first came out. Many years and lots of partying makes me forget some things.
This cover and video of the cover is deserving of The Smithsonian.
I had no idea how much I needed this. Thank you
What happens when talent collides with insanity? Genius.
This is perhaps one of the best things I have ever whitenesses. Fantastic!
Couldn't Agree MORE!!! Beautiful! This World is Beautiful!!!
This was my introduction to Neil Young, and sent me off on a NY tangent
Masterful!! Gave Neil the idea to re-record his folk rock anthem with a punk edge .
But he's so NOT punk. Total sell out to Big Pharma money.
This did come first, actually.
Well Hey Hey My My ( into the black) is hard rock not folk. And My My Hey Hey ( out of blue) is folk.
Is this a song about a Johnny Rotten? Rotten Johnny Johnny Rotten
How so? The acoustic and electric versions came out simultaneously.
From Neil's movie "Human Highway." Such a classic!
WoW!!! After all these years I'm just now seeing this!!!
🧐 see , how you were protected ( ? )
Another one of those oldies, 66, who had never heard of this collaboration before reading a story on American Songwriter about the meaning behind the song. I own most of Young's music from Harvest (1972) to Mirror Ball (1995), managed a Musicland store back in the 80s, even own Devo's Freedom of Choice and read Jimmy McDongough's Shakey but had never heard about this song. This is why I love ROCK N ROLL, you can always discover new gems that bring beauty and meaning to life. Long live Neil Young!
I just watched this powerful, incredible performance in a Sunday night and I’m mesmerized. Cheers from Brazil
Neil Young is a divine presence! We are Devo!
This vid should be in the Class A Controlled Substances list =D
Class A B C AN D-
Just (e) then?
Booji Boy's finest moment...and thanks for the song and guitar assist, Neil.
MUST be released on vinyl, or even on cd, OUTSTANDING...!!!
there are moments like this and when nirvana played at a radioshack in the late 80's that remind that life really is beautiful
Devo unquestionably made 2 of the greatest covers/re-imaginings of class rock songs ever. Satisfaction and this one. Am I missing any?
ruclips.net/video/qonTIZGu27w/видео.html
Some of Devo’s other covers don’t rise to the standard of this and Satisfaction, but their cover of Head Like a Hole does IMO. ruclips.net/video/LhL8Sl3dWl8/видео.html
"Secret Agent Man"?...
ruclips.net/video/bA9FiL7mz_0/видео.html
@@jerrygilbert6733 I sometimes thought it was "Secret ASIAN Man"
This is amazing and much better than the album version that was released, and I say that as major fan of Neil Young's. This version with DEVO was exciting, experimental, crazy, chaotic, energetic, electric, and with the driving energy of rock 'n' roll.
It's super cool, wow !
Y
Do you mean By devi. Neil isn't involved
@@brockn7878Neil is in the entire video playing guitar! Just because Mothersbaugh is on vocals, doesn't suddenly mean Young's not an active part of this.
"This is a story 'bout Johnny Spud" haha this is so perfect, thanks.
Saw Devo 4 times in the day, 80's, Neil a whole bunch, including the Luve Rust Tour.
He just keeps getting better.
And Devo, boy could they ever ROCK!!!
I used to watch this on Laserdisc and told many people how great it was. Thankfully it came out on DVD finally!
Wow! I never knew this existed! Talk about obscure.
We need this kind of energy in the world 🌍
I love this, but whatever Neil does is gold! 😘💕
he is in a baby bed... makes me happy this colab does
Can't believe it took me until September 28, 2023 to see this for the first time. It's really freaking good.
Glad to see he's back touring..... hope I get a chance to see him again soon.... he always comes through..... a living legend... hope he's got many years to come..... it'll be a sad day when he has to leave.... I'll be crushed to the core... he's been with me for a long while...... hail uncle Neil... my brother's name is Neal... after my late great uncle who was in ww2... navy... a master swimmer who drowned.. ironically so.... rip uncle Neal... gone so young.
THIS. is why Devo is the greatest punk rock band ever!
No the Clash is my favorite punk band. Been listening to Neil since he was in Buffalo Springfield. A fellow Canadian.
@@johngore7744 that's fine, I'm a huge Clash fan as well, even their later stuff...Devo is still the greatest punk band ever!
its new wave but close
Devo wasn’t punk rock. If you think it is…. You don’t know what real punk rock is. Look up Fear, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, The Circle Jerks, The Germs, The Adolescents, Sex Pistols, The New York Dolls. There are lots of others that are true punk rock bands. Don’t include Green Day as a punk band, they were always a bunch of poseurs.. But Devo isn’t a punk rock band. Devo is New Wave, like Blondie, Thompson Twins, Adam and the Ants, B-52’s etc…. Even Wikipedia (which is mostly garbage) lists Devo as a new wave band. So never….. ever…… include Devo in the same breath as punk rock.
@@johngore7744 I wouldn’t classify The Clash as Punk Rock. They don’t belong in the same category as the Ramones, the Sex Pistols or Black Flag. But they are closer to Punk Rock than Devo is. The Clash is Punk Rock for normies that are scared of the real stuff or don’t really understand true Punk Rock. Comparing the Clash to Punk Rock is like comparing Electric Light Orchestra to Hard Rock.
HAHAHAHA The absolute best performance art jam interpretation I’ve ever seen or heard in my entire lifetime!!..
I laughed the whole thing thru just awesome
I'm not sure why I like it but I do.
The greatest performance of all time.
You should get out more dude😂
I would have to put it up their with one of the most intriguing and addictive performance I have ever seen as well. I love New Wave and hate straight ahead rock. I am more into the visual experience and the mystery and quirk behind this makes it .. one of the greatest performances I've ever seen as well
Crazy jaming ;) talented and funy dudes, I love them all.
I never did a combo of laughing and rocking out at the same time before.
Shityeah
I still can't believe Neil went through this stage
The album “Trans” by Neil Young is the true teller of all time.
Still have Reactor and Trans vinyl...along with Devo's first 4 albums.
@@felipecardoza9967I have always liked "Reactor".
It’s fun to play. Don’t eat raisins.
@@stylinghead ???
I am scared and amazed at the same time!! Brilliant!!
i love devo
55 years old and Never knew this was a thing until someone memed it on fb.
Makes me feel like I ate those eggs in the "this is your brain on drugs" commercial.
Glad I didn't die yesterday!! Gives you a whole new lease on life
If you could only see two videos ever again, this would be both of them.
Dedicated best part of 50 years of my life to music..fuck me..now this is original so disturbing..what genius...i feel like burning all my music collection..its rhythm, its twang..fuck...best posting i have seen ever i think...
Neil is SO locked in. Love the artistry.
Amazingly, bizzare ! And wonderful at the same time.
This is fuggin jammin! My eyes dilated watching this ... hehe
I was grooving to this...heard a knock at the door...had to cheese it cause I thought it was the Fuzz !
Best video.....EVER
My brother was a Neil young fan in Santa Rosa and never did we hear of this????
Um dos melhores vídeos que eu vi nos últimos tempos e uma das melhores versões desse clássico
When the world doesn't know it needed this.
Super awesome bad ass! I like this so much more than the original, a ton more !
Actually I do really love the original as well. This just caught me off guard it's so GOOD !
WoW. ,!!!
How much energy!!
DEVO follower since I was 8.
Never heard about this !!
Wow. What a hidden gem this is!
The connection between Devo and Young is the Kent State University Shooting, May 4, 1970. Devo were students on campus at the shooting, along with Chrissy Hines who was in a band with Mark Moutherbaugh at the time. Young composed 'Ohio' in response to the shooting and it was recorded with his band at the time, 'Crossby, Stills Nash & Young',
This is Great
This recording is now reaching other civilizations in deep space. When deciphered it is answering the questions to all that is in the unknown universe.....
It might be DEVO's best work. Thanks, Neil!
one of the greatest things i’ve ever seen
Michael McLoughlin
I'd never heard this version of the song. I saw the "Rust never sleeps" movie when it
opened on ST.Marks Place-this rendition is tremendous.
I’m right there with ya Pal. Boy, I needed this video today. 🔥🔥🔥
Wait what?!! When did this happened? I didn't know there was a collab! Thanks for uploading! This is punk, new wave, grunge and heavy metal in a jam!
I live in Idaho, we have a kick ass, locally run radio station. They had a contest to call in the most unique duo thus I submitted this song. Roughly half way through they scratched the needle and ended it as to say WTF! Moving forward to the following year did the exact same thing. One month later got a bad ass package in the mail saying I had won the prize, sent some cool shit. Goes to say we hear and see things differently and thankful for that. Keep on rocking in the free world..love you Radio Boise!
Song covers's been around since I was fresh out of the womb, just hearing it now.
this is the good toad venom
I didnt KNOW there was a bad toad Venom...😃
Love Neil Young. Love Devo. Perfect. Hey hey my my. Rock n roll can never die.
INSANELY
P.E.R.F.E.C.T 🎸🔊🤘🤘
How can you not like this???!
I was in Croydon in 1978 reading how the NME reporter was sent to find NY & Devo playing in a bar in Akron and failed.Locals we’re not pleased that they had firstly had the show or that they were now being harassed by limey. Note sawn off guitars. When they played in uk they did it in the shop in front of guitar company rep.(for knebworth ,maybe).
Absolutely classic noise festival my hats off to you Neil & devo
Amazing amazing ahead of its time beats all the crap of today
This is the coolest most frightening horrible greatest thing I’ve ever seen.
I’m 67 and did see all the cool bands. I thought I saw it all, WTF did I just watch?!?
That was far out…
Wow! I'm at a loss for words.
Freaking powerful..
I was lucky enough to see Neil on his Rust Never Sleeps tour back in those days. LOTS of feedback at that show, too. I saw him three times - RNS tour with Crazy Horse, the Harvest tour with the Stray Gators, very country, and then a short-lived tour with the Stills/Young Band that played lots of the oldies from the Buffalo Springfield days. All great concerts, all totally different. Neil's a genius.
What? You missed the Trans tour?
