Hilarious deleted scene from the documentary We Jam Econo: The Story of the Minutemen. BUY THE DVD: www.plexifilm.com/econo.html "All I eat is squid!" -- Mike Watt.
I met Mike Watt in Knoxville, TN in about 1988 when Firehose played here. What a cool experience we smoked a fatty while he told stories from the tour. He was just like Thurston said, kinda loud and very talkative. We stood outside City Side cafe on Mkt square entranced by his stories for what seemed like an hr.(Prolly 10 min. tho.) but everything my guitarist would say would remind him of another story and off he'd go.One of the coolest experiences I've had.COOL,COOL guy!
He used to play at a little coffee house in San Pedro in the late 90s early 00s. Him, Keith Morris, Jack Brewer… they’d all hang out and chat with everyone. Such a rad dude!
The hilarious thing about your comment is that 35 years later I come across this post and your comment and can say, "I was out in that courtyard as well and smoked that same joint with you, but you don't know me." That was the "Little Big Tour", what a night! If I'm not mistaken I believe either S.T.D.'s or Wh-Wh opened for them!
When they cut to that wide angle, showing the enormity of his record collection, I saw beams of light and heard angels sing. Truly that is the Promised Land.
Thurston Moore is one of the nicest people in rock n roll. I was waiting outside the 9:30 club before a Sonic Youth show and I see Thurston and Lee, just chilling outside the tour bus, alone. I didn't want to look stupid or anything (because they are my IDOLS) but I really wanted to meet them. So my boyfriend told me to go up to them and I did. Thurston talked to me about our mutual favorite bands for about 10 minutes and when I shyly asked him to sign my ticket, he did. And then HE hugged ME!!!
I find this really funny. Thurston's impression IS spot on. I was at a Mike Watt concert in San Francisco... maybe 1999 or so, not sure. I stepped out for a spoke, and suddenly Watt himself was out. I told him I drummed, and George had always been a big influence. In any event... it was cool, he said he just loved the SF skyline(me too) after that I let him go his own way... me too.
he said "if i go to a boozh joint" - sounds weird, but the minutemen had a bunch of in-joke slang like that. "boozh" meant bourgeois, "mersh" meant commercial, etc.
The impersonation of Rollins is actually genius. Watch the Liar video and you'll see that head movement in action....you can just see him at the gig looking out of place like that...
I mean, seriously, he's only a skeleton. His body's just a series of joints. With no height, length, or width. Buuuutt, in his JOINTS, he feels pride. And, of course, that is his only connection.
I saw Sonic Youth, Jesus Lizard and local band Dirt in Atlanta at Center Stage in early 1990s... Killer show... Later saw Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon at Wax N Facts music and ‘zine store in Little Five Points... Good times!
I'll never forget seeing SY with fIREHOSE at the Spirit in San Diego. I videotaped part of the show and it's on my channel. Before the show started I went to ask for permission to videotape, and they were all sittig in or standing around the tour van.
When I met Thurston Moore a few weeks ago, he was buying records and now all I'm thinking is that they're sitting right there in that room. How quaint.
That record collection is incredibly large haha. How would you remember what you had. He probably just puts on random shit he cant even remember if hes heard before.. and thats cool I guess.
@@paulrevere2928 A lot of jazz in there too, Thurston is into jazz a lot, so is Mike Watt. I remember Watt playing John Coltrane after a gig and talking about it on the microphone.
@gingereades you got that right gingereades! Mike's opera, he says, "'Hyphenated-Man' is a voyage into the middle, without being all sappy about it. You played the game, but still you confront yourself: What is 'Man'? In middle-age you start asking yourself these questions, and it." His bass playing to me gives him the status of the father of punk bass cos he's so kick-ass!
If all I had to do in life was talk and jam with Thurston Moore (or with Sonic Youth in general), I would be in eternal euphoria. Long live Thurston Moore and Sonic Youth!!!!
I'm a grown ass man and "Cohesion" kicks! my teary-eyed butt every time....
Watt is a pure soul. San Pedro's finest.
That Mike Watt impression is pretty spot on
Jesus that is a lot of records.
I'm pretty sure that's only a part of it.
YOU GOTTA WATCH THE MOTIN THURSTON YOUR MEMORY GOES OUT THE WINDAH
Callin from a punk phone booth.
motin? you mean MOTA

I was there as well! Packed house and Watt kept talking about "Stolling Rone" magazine.

Whoah, I was there! S.T.D.s = "Sexually Trained Dogs".

Nah. (Source: I used to own a record store)
I like this, I like seeing Thurston just talk naturally about something funny. I rarely ever see him genuinely smile or laugh.

Ha
Majesta Duncan And he also cheated on his girlfriend by the way. It makes him a nicer guy :)
Rj Rose Everyone makes mistakes.
@@rjrose2379 you’d be surprised how unusual it is to not cheat on your partner these days.
If this was deleted, they made a mistake.
"YOU LIKE HELL?"

"D. Boon. liked squid!"
hahahha
i like the close up on his guitar strings where hes bending them up.
it shows his inner struggle.
:)
Met Thurston this year and he was lovely, really went out of his way for me and my girlfriend for a chat and a picture x
he really went of his way to have decency. applaud applaud
what a MASSIVE record collection...it reachs the ceiling!
I would love it if thurston didn't have a record player...
That squid story at me laughing so hard it hurt
he said "if i go to a boozh joint" - sounds weird, but the minutemen had a bunch of in-joke slang like that. "boozh" meant bourgeois, "mersh" meant commercial, etc.

All I eat is squid! D. Boon likes squid!
What could be romantic to Mike Watt?
anything but thurston moore
I mean, seriously, he's only a skeleton. His body's just a series of joints. With no height, length, or width. Buuuutt, in his JOINTS, he feels pride. And, of course, that is his only connection.
He's only a skeleton
Perhaps a sex disease or a stop sign?
I think we could call the beginning of this video, "Thurston Moore does a very great impersonation of Watt"
I saw Sonic Youth, Jesus Lizard and local band Dirt in Atlanta at Center Stage in early 1990s... Killer show... Later saw Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon at Wax N Facts music and ‘zine store in Little Five Points... Good times!
mike's a nice person. he's the real deal babio.
I'm laughing myself sick at the Mike Watt voice.
I get excited every time he turns his head and I can see the marvelous mole.
d. boon liked squid XD XD
Thurston tells about the high point of his life
I understand why they deleted this scene.
The Watt impression should have been included tho
IF I’M GONNA GO TO A BOOJSH JOINT THEY BETTER HAVE SQUID
I think of that line about once a day
hahaha now i'm always gonna think of squid when i think of mike watt
the steady drip of his drool dropping to the floor of his trailer
We met on these two planes; seafood and punkrock. fucking squid haha!
I'll never forget seeing SY with fIREHOSE at the Spirit in San Diego. I videotaped part of the show and it's on my channel.

“D.Boon eats squid”-Mike Harris-Thurston Moore
i have a feeling everything you do is awesome.
love MINUTEMEN
what a record collection!
Damn, tons of vinyl
ALL I EAT IS SQUID

3:08 and 4:06 living rent-free in my brain for weeks after watching this. Shit's so funnny.
*Moore is as good a 'story teller' as he is a musician*
When Im old ugly and unsightly, Thurston is still going to look the way he did in 1990
The Anti-Club! That place was rad!
Your TH-cam handle is awesome. Great work.
I know look at that record collection.. One can only imagine what kind of gems are in that collection..
That record collection is incredibly large haha. How would you remember what you had. He probably just puts on random shit he cant even remember if hes heard before.. and thats cool I guess.
Nah record collectors like that know where everything is like punk rock librarians...
@@paulrevere2928 A lot of jazz in there too, Thurston is into jazz a lot, so is Mike Watt. I remember Watt playing John Coltrane after a gig and talking about it on the microphone.

Lmao I had a dream about meeting Mike Watt just last night and then this pops up
Sounds like Bluto! Saw Voidoids a hundred times...🤣
Funniest thing I've read in so long. I'm still laughing. !!!!!!!

That is funny as hell....

If all I had to do in life was talk and jam with Thurston Moore (or with Sonic Youth in general), I would be in eternal euphoria. Long live Thurston Moore and Sonic Youth!!!!
Lol. I was at that Club Lingerie show. There weren't many people there. Didn't know Watt was. El Duce of The Mentors was, though.
Before Courtney had him killed
Mean mr mommy man!
Me, Thurtson Moore, and Colm O'ciosoig all look similar. That's freaky and cool at the same time.
Quite impressive record collection I would say...
At 2:25, when they zoom out, can you spot Metal Box there on the right? 😄
Thurston is the coolest guy ever. Talk about intergrity.
GO FORTH AND THRASH!
id love to get my mits on that record collection....
Richard Hell and squid.
1:47 this always get a good laugh outta me

Holy Shit
That's why they call themselves Sonic Youth
man, you read my mind hahaha

Look at Thurston's record collection! 2:24
Naw, string tree goes across all strings, not two. Probably a Teisco or something along those lines.
Great scene, haha.
Anyone who knows what guitar it is?
🤣🤣🤣
Haha, "Seafood and Punk rock"
@Blindedbytheshine Well said!!!

Sounds like mike was making fun of him and he still doesn't get it.
Who’s record collection is that
@njedinjedi lol i agree

probably guyatone, but i'm not super sure
I always thought that they sounded like goofball teenagers ... who happen to around 50 years old.
@njedinjedi lol dude i know
Meglomaniac!

His "axe"? Who is he, Yngwie Malmsteen?
What, is this him Lawrence Welk record collection behind him ?.. c'mon dude, you try too hard.
@PamK36 LOL.......i have about 200 hundred and they are a pain......i couldent imagine a whole room.
Those are Coley's records. Why you bust?
DONT U KNOW THE DEWEY DECIMAL SYSTEM?
mogwai142 Conan the Librarian!
Maybe he never actually plays his
Looks like your standard Fender Stratocaster to me.
what kind of guitar he is holding?
custom Jazz master Thurston and Lee signature guitars for years.
Nope... Guyatone LG-55
are you talking about yourself?
Club Lingerie?? Is that a strip club? :)
