"Sheff: You disagree with Neil Young's lyric in Rust Never Sleeps: "It's better to burn out than to fade away…" Įx-Beatle John Lennon commented on the message of the song in a 1980 interview with David Sheff from Playboy: Kurt Cobain's suicide note ended with the same line, shaking Young and inadvertently cementing his place as the so-called "Godfather of Grunge".

It was also used in the movie Highlander (1986), when the Kurgan ( Clancy Brown) exits a church after meeting the Highlander ( Christopher Lambert). The line occurs during the introduction to Def Leppard's 1983 song " Rock of Ages". The song may best be known for the line "It's better to burn out than to fade away" (actually only spoken in full in the acoustic "My My, Hey Hey" and the Human Highway film recording ). In 1977, Rotten responded by playing a song by Young on a radio program. Young compared the rise of Johnny Rotten with that of the recently deceased "King" Elvis Presley, who himself had once been disparaged as a dangerous influence only to later become an icon. Young later said that he was so shaken that he dedicated his 1994 album Sleeps with Angels to Cobain. It became infamous after being quoted in Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's suicide note. The line, "it's better to burn out than to fade away" was taken from one of the songs of Young's bandmate in the short-lived supergroup The Ducks, Jeff Blackburn. Inspired by electropunk group Devo, the rise of punk and what Young viewed as his own growing irrelevance, the song significantly revitalized Young's career.
Combined with its hard rock counterpart " Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)", it bookends Young's 1979 album Rust Never Sleeps. An acoustic song, it was recorded live in early 1978 at the Boarding House in San Francisco, California. " My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)" is a song by Canadian musician Neil Young.
