...put leeches on your nutsack rather than read another word about it...

Thank you!

Neil should have stuck with his original plan and never released it.

This thread is too compressed for me. I'm going to stick with one of the original Archives threads.

Come on now, IP--if we had Thin Lizzy threads running rampant you'd be all over them, admit it!! Speaking of which, being a big Gary Moore fan, what did you think of that incarnation of Thin Lizzy while Gary was there? I've been holding off on "Black Rose", which I believe is your favorite Thin Lizzy release if memory serves me correctly. There are so many Japanese editions out there, does one sound better to your ears than the others?

I would not be posting about Lizzy or anyone like the NY thread! I'd off myself. I was joking about the NY, but it's been pretty hilarious watching Neil's fans cry to each other and to the Man himself about the box. So much controversy!
There were 3 Moore eras in Lizzy-1974 which was mostly live gigs and a few singles, then 1977 where he toured filling in for the drunk/injured Brian Robertson and then 1978-79 which featured the latter half of the "Live And Dangerous" tour and of course, the masterpiece that is "Black Rose".
Never heard the Japanese editions-I have the original CD, the Metal Blade remaster and the original vinyl. Obviously, the vinyl is best, but the Metal Blade remaster is quite good. I have not heard the Wounded Bird reissues, so I can't comment there.
The Lizzy with Moore was simply amazing-I have several boots too, and it was a great time. Gary just wasn't fucked up enough to party like those guys, so it was on borrowed time-every time!

If Neil Young announces an archival project, people complain about it.

If Neil Young takes years compiling and tinkering with an archival project, people complain about it.

If Neil Young finally releases an archival project, people complain about it.

Of course, if Neil Young had never even considered an archival project...well, you know.

Whatever else you want to say about Neil Young fans, they still aren't half as psychotic as Beatles fans.

I resemble that remark!

I think it's very funny that there is a cd release and no vinyl release, the format Neil loves.

I also now realize I have created another Neil Young post.
I stand accused before you all....

I think Young's complaints about CD vs vinyl are pretty old now. He always said that eventually digital would catch up to analog but was angry that he was forced to record digitally before the technology reached that point. It's possible he thinks we're there now.
