David Crosby destroys former bandmates Neil Young and Graham Nash in Scathing Interview

Don’t expect to see David Crosby reunited with his bandmates from Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young soon.

Crosby hasn’t been exactly in terms of talking to either Neil Young or Graham Nash for a few years and the comments he made in an interview published this week with The Guardian will likely continue like this.

Young, he said, was “probably the most selfish, selfish, selfish person I know. Just think of Neil, period. That’s the only person he’ll consider. Always!”

When asked if the rock icon would agree, Crosby said, “Probably. He knows himself pretty well.”

Crosby said any impression fans might have of Nash caring for him when he was lucky and the two toured as a duo was just to show off.

“He gave the impression of taking care of me, but apparently all of this was just trying to get the money to come,” Crosby said. “But here it is.”

Crosby said he hasn’t spoken to Nash in a couple of years.

“I am not going to talk to him. I don’t want to talk to him. I’m not at all happy with him, “Crosby said.” For me, that’s old history, man. “

The feeling is mutual. In an interview with FaceCulture in 2016, Nash said he was not “interested” in talking to Crosby. And when asked what he would do if Crosby contacted him, Nash said, “You can try anything you want, he’s a little fucked up late.”

Nash also said Crosby “ripped the heart out” of the band and “isn’t a really great person.”

Crosby has had a substance abuse problem for a long time that led to a stay in prison in the 1980s and a number of legal and financial problems, as well as years of health problems, including a liver transplant.

He told the Guardian that the only CSNY member he was still in contact with was Stephen Stills.

Crosby’s relationship with Young worsened in 2014 when he called Young’s then-girlfriend Daryl Hannah “a purely poisonous predator.” He apologized the following year, but it appears the two are not yet in a position to speak.

“Neil has genuine meat,” Crosby told The Guardian. “It simply came to our notice then. That’s all right.”

But Nash, Crosby said, “changed from the guy he thought was my best friend to being a guy who’s definitely my enemy.”

The new comments are likely to close the door to any scant hope for reconciliation and reunion. Still, Crosby has been in one of the most productive periods of his career, releasing a series of acclaimed albums since 2014.

Crosby is a two-time member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for his work with The Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash.

Prior to the coronavirus shutdowns, he tried to contact Byrds co-founder Roger McGuinn on social media about a meeting, only to be shot down there as well.

⁇[David Crosby] it is not hated, “a McGuinn representative told Rolling Stone in 2019.” But that doesn’t mean anyone wants to work with him. “
