Great to see everyone so supportive of a young, up and coming band taking a risk by paying tribute to one their influences at one of the summer's major festivals.

This will certainly encourage other bands to take chances.

Stay classy.

When did everybody get to be so critical? I never heard of the band, but I thought it was cool to hear them, whether or not I thought it was the greatest cover ever.

Hey That's cool to hear them lovin Neil, but this cover's not very good, I'm sorry. If you want a good cover by young people, try Trough My Sails by the Soulsavers or Ryan Bingham's Everybody knows.

Question my class all you like... this cover was horrid. Since when is playing a Neil Young cover taking a risk or a chance? Neil is a legend and a god amongst songwriters. The shelves are crammed full of disgusting worthless BS and I'm sure the "Band of Skulls" are contributing to this spamming of record store shelves.
