JUNG AT HEART: What could Neil Young possibly do to surprise us now? Would you believe an entire album full of guitar feedback? (Lou Reed, eat your heart out!) The iconoclastic rocker is releasing “Weld,” a two-CD live album due in September that features various Young hits (and a live version of Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind”) culled from May concert dates in New York, Pittsburgh and Buffalo. But for hard-core fans, a limited-edition version of the package, titled “Arc,” will have a third CD entirely devoted to lengthy patches of feedback from Young’s guitar, which adorned the conclusion of each song in the actual concerts. . . . Bryan Adams, whose “Robin Hood” credit-closer single just went double-platinum (and is still at the top of the Billboard charts), returns in mid-September with a 15-song new album, titled “Waking Up the Neighbors.” The title is totally apt. The album, produced by veteran rockmeister Mutt Lange, is largely devoted to raucous rockers. The new material includes “Can’t Stop This Thing We Started,” “Thought I’d Died and Gone to Heaven,” “Hey, Honey, I’m Packin’ You In” and “Don’t Drop That Bomb on Me.”
