All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock, I dont subscribe to any of that. Its all just music. I mean, the heavy metal from the 70s sounds nothing like the stuff from the 80s, and that sounds nothing like the stuff from the 90s. Whos to say what is and isnt a certain type of music? – Neil Young

I dont like to be labeled, to be anything. Ive made the mistake before myself of labeling my music, but its counter-productive. – Neil Young

Back then people closed their eyes and listened to music. Today theres a lot of images that go with the music. A lot of music is crap and its all commercial and the images are all trying to sell the record. – Neil Young
