I've loved this song since I first heard it, and it sounds great arranged for acoustic guitars. It's awe-inspiring that these legends have kept going, never compromised on their artistic vision. So many years of great music.
i can't get enough of this song. I remember waking up to it on the radio a couple months ago. A weird start to a day. Thanks for putting the video up. Those guitars give me a chills.
i met him in nyc once, dude has his guard up for sure..this interviewer happens to be one of the few genuinely nice and interested interviewers i can think of
@bengativo6 whatever dude, the name of a band isnt important, i did say that, thats how it reads, thats not what i meant, ive played guitar for 17 years, and piano for 26 years, and have listened to all sorts also. Infact these days many people listen to a broad range of music. I've always been puzzled by this band, its just a personal thing. MAybe I should just keep it personal
Just because 338,000 people think one thing, you think the same as they do? Why? How about this: When any artist writes a poem and creates a melody to express that poem as a song, where is the line that defines the pretentiousness of it from the unpretentiousness? Arn't songs an amplification of a human experience that requires a certain level of pretence to convey an emotion that no string of words can communicate? Is having an imagination a pretence?
Do all governments suck ? Yes they do . Despite that fact a government is created by the politicians who get more votes than the others... My point ? PEOPLE SUCK ! Who gives a fuck if many believe that Sonic Youth is a pretentious band ? An idea followed by many people is not always right. Sonic Youth is THE BEST THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE ELECTRIC GUITAR SINCE...well i don't know since when but they rule (excuse me for bad english -i am greek)
Ghomeshi was such a phony. Now facing 4 criminal charges of sex assault from 3 different women, "sensitive" Jian minored in Women's Studies at York U in Toronto (by coincidence, Kim Gordon studied Art at York U. though earlier than when Jian was there). Ghomeshi also led listeners to believe his pithy editorials he read each morning & his lengthy guest intros (such as you hear here) were written by him when 98% of the time they were written by Q producers. I didn't even know till just now SY, one of my fave bands, ever appeared on Q. Nice, although Lee & Thurston as a duo is a rather diminutive configuration of "SY," don't you thinK?
@willzer808 try to play yourself one of the songs .if you think a 12 year old wrote the songs.i think a 9 year old only came to this video so far just to get a few undesireble coments.i think the goo goo dolls have a cool name but honestly their music is shit.and i dont care about it.neither i care for your interest in any other so called "cool name bands"you listen to .see you boy.take this from someone who listens to all kind of music and aint looking for bands because they have cool names
No no no. Not by a long shot. The only point you've made is that you have no ability to debate. I bet you voted for Obama too.... just because "everybody" else did. You see folks!!! Look at what 's happening to our country!!! Non body has a spine!!! Clint Eastwood was right. America is being run by a bunch of mindless twits marching right to fucking Hell!!! And damn near everyone is goose stepping right along!!! Why??? Because everybody else is so why not me? Fucking ridiculus!!!
i've tried to bring myself to like sonic youth, i really have, cause they've a cool name and for other important reasons, but every time i hear one of their songs, well, they just sound like a 12 year old wrote them, and i do not see what is great about them. I must be missing something. This song seems so bland and uninspired..
Analog delay that’s self oscillating. Basically just make the feedback high, level low if you like being able to hear, and just turn the time to make it weirder

This my Favorite Band in the world!!
I love the fact their rockin out on acoustic's...gives me hope yet!
This is probably the first time I can see Thurston Moore's face.
and you thought everything was going to be quiet and mellow because they had acoustic guitars...SONIC YOUTH!!
Just curious what band do you think is much better than sonic youth?
@heroin33 Awesome falcon punch.
Why aren´t there more original band´s like this?
they should do this live...
Perfecto!
YEAHHHH!!!!!

Sweeeet!
"Chicos ustedes revolucionaron el under"
la mitad de sonic youth: ._.xD
@heroin33 A wonderful response
Cool, but I think Sonic Youth is better with eletric guitars.( Sorry if I wrote something wrong).
what pedal use Lee ranaldo?
delay
what delay?
Ibanez AD9
If you go to their website they have an archive of guitars and effects. The delay is a custom built one just for this song.
@sk8tachiick5729 the songs perfect is perfectly understandable
I just think they're uncomfortable with being talked about, especially while they're in the same room
9I wish lee did open hes m on this song
Jingle all the way
@stereosanctity7 what i dont understand the song's perfect
@fac443 me too
Haha They look so bored when he's speaking :P
@sk8tachiick5729 ???
I put the term" art pretentious" into google and got 1,790,000 results. I guess art must be pretentious.
thurston looks like he wishes that guy would shut the f up... or he's gonna puke

Your comment: "one of the most PRETENTIOUS and PATHETICALLY NARROW-MINDED ever" surely... Fuck off with your negative comments.

thumbs up for SY being terribly pretentious.

I wonder what kind of pedal can cause so much destruction great song.
