Neil Young: Pono will have U2 removal button

[Crypto]

Neil Young has cracked a joke stating that his new music device Pono will be activated with a U2 removal button.

Young made a return visit to Stephen Colbert's show this week to plug his book, his new record and his Pono, the hi-fi competitor to the iPod.

'Why is this better than an iPod other than not coming pre-loaded with the U2 album,' Colbert asked Young.

Pono'It comes with a button. This button gets the U2 album off of it which came on the player. Not that I recommend using it,' Young replied.

When Young guested on Howard Stern's radio show earlier in the week he said that the mp3 format was like visiting the Louvre and finding photocopies of all the paintings on the wall. With Colbert he said, 'this music is 100% of the sound and the iPod compared to the best that this can do is 5% of the sound'.

'iPod is a great bargain,' he continued 'because you get to have millions of songs but you just get a tiny little bit of each one.'

He said with the Pono, 'you don't have to listen. You feel the music,' alluded to the full studio sound generated by the high quality Pono files.

Young also performed his new song 'Who's Gonna Stand Up?' as a duet with Stephen Colbert on the show.
