***** I went to that tour. Saw them play in Dallas. I chose not to use my earbuds. The holocaust section at the end last about 20 minutes. It was like a rocket ship going off. Lust just got back together. And last year Ride and Slowdive as well. Swervedriver recently released a new album too!
***** awesome!!! Yeah it was sorta surreal seeing MBV live. Never would have thought that I'd get that chance. I wish I knew who the opening band was. The lead singer spoke with me a bit outside. He liked my Jesus and Mary Chain shirt I wore.
I love how Black Francis almost always looks like he was just coaching a little league team minutes before the concert. Like he just parked the minivan, took off the team hat, and picked up the guitar for the gig. No corporate influence here, just some of the best American alt rock of the late 80's.
And that's the song that started the 90's kids...in 1988. The soft seductive verses, massive monster chorus, and deliciously angular lead guitar throughout. The Pixies did it first and nobody did it better.
I've been listening to The Pixies all evening instead of going to bed. It takes me back. This band, Sonic Youth, and Dinosaur Jr invented their own genre. '90s music before the '90s.
Take something raw, talented, but not quite ready for mass consumption and slow it down, but make it loud once in a while. I feel you'll get your point across and it will be memorable. Be afraid of your perceptions, but never your enjoyment.
Jane’s Addiction, don’t forget about them. They were making this kind of noise well before Pixies or Nirvana. Jane’s in my opinion is the true “90’s before 90’s” band. Their debut “Nothing Shocking” came out in 1987 and it sounds like it could have easily come out in 1993.
Fuck yea!! i've been learning to play music on the guitar and the keyboards, but after listening to the pixies bass, I've learned so much how the bass can impact the music. Kim Deal plays this simple mysterious bassline that sounds weirdly odd, but when the other instruments kick in, I'm like "Oooh Fucking Shit!!" I get it now!" Its fucking genius, the Pixies were an magical band. Like so many disco funk Bassists in the 70s and 80s.
Like the Velvet Underground, they never sold a shitload of records but everyone who listened to the Velvet Underground or the Pixies went out and started a Band of their own.
It's become a bit of an enduring myth about the Velvet Underground not selling many albums. Eno said 30,000 of the first record, but that's not a bad score for a first album and considering that the record company decided to make more albums with them the follow ups must have sold all right. Then again I shouldn't shatter the mystique making out that these bands where unsuccessful is a key part of the legend.
Can't really blame him. He started the band with Joey to sing HIS songs. Kim auditioned to do bass. No one could have predicted that she would be the breakout star that she was. I can imagine a little bit of envy or jealousy going on.
GrindstoneMusic I'd understand feeling a bit insecure and jealous, but to an extent. To completely reject the role of a potentially great vocalist/ songwriter in your band is fucking absurd. If the reason were creative differences, then maybe, but it would be like Lennon/ McCartney telling Gerorge to either quit wasting studio time with his early songs, or fuck off outta the band. Kim could've probably dished out the Pixies' equivalent to "Here Comes the Sun". Hell, they even let Ringo write/ sing a song or two.
@@GraffitiPops I think it is completely understandable and doesn't have to do at all with any jealousy. It is perfectly normal for you to get controlling about something you see as your project.
@@GraffitiPops the reason why the beatles work so well was because they were really close. But this is the pixies were talking about. Its diffent. Francis had a right to did what he did. It was his band after all. Thats why Kim left and made her own band. (Love both bands)
I was first introduced to Pixies by a French girl at University, who I was desperately in love with, but she was in love with a guy from Galicia. At least I have Pixies to remember her by. She was so special.
In the annals of music history, with progression to grunge and alternative, the Pixies and Gigantic stand above all. Legendary. And Joey’s vibro intro is 🔥🔥🔥
I love how her voice sounds somewhat small, but husky and very powerful. It’s beautiful. Leaving Pixies and starting her own band was a good call. Too bad they didn’t get nearly as much recognition as they deserved
It just didn’t get much air time. I was a young teen, so if it wasn’t on the radio or MTV I wasn’t hearing about it. Glad I got into them as an adult though.
Because Joey did some of the most simple shit as a lead guitarist, that single note of manic vibrato is something alot of lead guitar players would think is “too simple”
What an atmosphere they created, with the TV'S, themselves, their performance, and the music they played. God, I missed out on so much being either a child or nonexistent in the 80's.
1. Not much of a lead guitar for a guitar solo near 2/3 of the song. 2. I would rather have Bob Rock produce the song. Although he produced Metallica, Bob Rock describes himself as a lover of punk more than metal.
Such a great song by an amazing band. One of my fave groups even today. I saw them a few times in the late 90s, a couple of times more recently. Kim Deal is insanely badass.
Gawd they are sharp! They sound like a massive guitar army. How did these band member not get along when pretty much everyone one on the planet loves all of them.
That's how it always is. Artists are always like that. I think Van Gogh lived with Paul Gaugin and pulled a knife on him at some point and never had another friend.
Fantastic, can you imagine what it was being 15 years old and seeing this on Firma Onrust on television? it changed at least my life and love for music! Love the Pixies and Kim Deal
Bowie was right. Fantastic band and Joey is still a very underrated player. That vibrato and use of feedback sounds simple crude but it's hard to make it sound like he does.
Yup. Not everyone saw it that way in the beginning though (*cough*, *cough*, Boston..where they formed). Dumbasses. One listen to their demo "The Purple Tape" and if you couldn't hear it, you shouldn't be in music.
i saw them in 1987-88at a free concert somewhere in downtown boston.. i think it may have been on the common.. i was only 9 at the time.. but i remember it vividly.
By the looks of the audience, they just witnessed one of the biggest changes in rock music and just didn't realise it... What I wouldn't give to be there 😱
The first time I saw the Pixies was Coachella 2004. Two friends and I flew fromNYC to California. They played Saturday night. It's was Pixies then Radiohead. What a moment. They blew me away even more than I had expected. Best Band ever hands down.
Biggest Pixies hit, one of the few they let Kim take the front on, awesome and influential band. Frank is amazing but science shows the bass is what gets us going 😘
i saw them live two days a row, Civic Auditorium and the Fillmore.... San Francisco, and yes they sound like their recording.. amazing, true musicians who can play it every time.. possibly a couple of the best days in my life... to see them back to back.. i have been spoiled for concerts ever since ... i just had to stop
Eeeew... I don't think we should put Pixies in the "grunge camp". They were well ahead all that. The term only came into existence a couple after their global impact. It's like calling The Beatles a "metal band" after they wrote Helter Skelter.
I wish I could go back to the early 80's and just spend the next 15 or so years going around to live music shows of all the great bands of those days. I was a little too young when it came and went unfortunately.
I'm an older millennial who remembers listening to them in 1999. Fight Club got me hooked on them. I bought their greatest hits tribute CD in early 2000s. I don't think they even make CDs anymore. Crazy ain't it, how time flies? I'm 37 years old now, and my most precious memories are of the mid to late 90s when I didn't worry about bills, jobs, and current cultural matters like today. It was truly the last great American decade.
What a great live version! I’ve read many comments on other live videos that say “better than the record,” but those are usually people that are high on arsenic. This one is actually better than the record.
The Pixies and The Stone Roses in 1988-89 pretty much laid the blue print for music in the 90s... So much that followed had roots in either band. (In the UK anyhow).
my god I haven't listened to this is forever......and I don't know why....I miss the original pixies. I saw them in spokane wa and they were so awesome.......
I saw them live October 17, 2004 at Vodo fest in New Orleans! The same stage Green Day played then The Pixies following them was the Beastie boys! It was one of the best concert lineups I have ever seen!... The Pixies are amazing they out Shined everybody!..

Possibly the most 90s sounding 80s song I've ever heard. And it's awesome.
I guess it’s cause pixies helped create that 90s rock sound, it must’ve been so weird to hear this when glam rock and metal was the big thing
They were way ahead of their time
That’s because the pixies invented the 90s. Nirvana was inspired by the pixies. They were kurt cobains favourite band.

The Pixies and The Stone Roses in 1988-89 pretty much laid the blue print for music in the 90s... So much that followed had roots in either band. (In the UK anyhow).
Music making? Better leave it to the yankees. Except for Bowie, music from the UK sucks.
(No, I'm not an American)
this song ROCKS! It's GIGANTIC!
Stacked up TVs need to make a comeback
you don`t have them?
it would be hard to balance 5 60 inch flat screens like that
my god I haven't listened to this is forever......and I don't know why....I miss the original pixies. I saw them in spokane wa and they were so awesome.......
They are so 20 for ever no matter wtf the time or space :-)
the most influential band of all time. If this band didn't exist, Nirvana wouldn't have existed as we know them. Period.
Yup. Cobain admitted as much
The Pixies is not the same without Kim Deal.
Oxel A its true
She came back for a while, but then she left again :/
I´ll see them in two weeks in Prague and I already know I´ll miss her there.
I had the same comment. The same everything.
I think she looked sexy in this video!
She always looked sexy!
Kim Deal's voice makes me melt over 20 years after I first heard it on this track. God I am old...
Definitely ahead of their time
That China crash really makes the chorus. Gotta love a drummer that knows how to just drive the beat and not get too fancy,
I need this one for breakfast, for lunch, for dinner, and for when I'm down, mainly.
Спасибо шкафу что показал эту песню
Какому шкафу
Деревянному
His high notes are so beautiful
I saw them live October 17, 2004 at Vodo fest in New Orleans! The same stage Green Day played then The Pixies following them was the Beastie boys! It was one of the best concert lineups I have ever seen!... The Pixies are amazing they out Shined everybody!..
Before the Pixies was Sonic Youth. That is the best night of live music I've ever experienced. They were all lights out. Good memory!
[Verse 1]
And this I know, his teeth as white as snow
What a gas it was to see him
Walk her every day into a shady place
With her lips she said
She said
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul, let's have a ball
Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul, let's have a ball
Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul, let's have a ball
[Chorus]
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big, big love
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big, big love
[Verse 2]
Lovely legs, they're a...
What a big black mess, what a hunk of love
He'd walk her every day into a shady place
He's like the dark, but I'd want him
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul, let's have a ball
Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul, let's have a ball
Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul, let's have a ball
[Chorus]
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big, big love
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big, big love
[Chorus]
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big, big love
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big, big love
[Outro]
A big, big love
A big, big love
A big, big love
A big, big love
A big, big love
A big, big love
A big, big love
A big, big love
I thought it was “a big big load”
I thought it was the car the car the car is out back
Haha, I speak Spanish and that's why when reading these comments I found it funny. English can be confusing sometimes.
So its about a guy walking his big dog?
Just love Kim . Class personified : )
Kim Deal. The coolest bassplayer. Like. Forever!!!!! :)
