  • I cant understand what happened with 4 persons

  • Hey. Check out my new song "Island" at this channel. Like yourself I am a fan of the Pixies, and my music has been influenced by them, as well as other bands like The Strokes, Dinosaur Jr, and XTC.

  • where would i be without the pixies?

  • Gives me chills everytime I listen to this. Wow! Wow!

  • By clicking on 'Like' doesn't quite equate my love of this song.

  • Nice to argument about how one speaks, but this is the best video dokument of the beginning of one of the most influencial bands in the 80/90`s. So argue anywhere but not here. Thanx!

  • I thank David Fincher that he introduced me to the Pixies......

  • @jimmyjnas RIGHT ON BROTHA!

  • this song?

    my drug.

  • @Omnilegence It's not facism, it's common sense.

  • @nhyko91 LOL did u read the comment it said quit bickering, I LOVE IT!!!

  • @nhyko91 Marjiks35 took the words out of my mouth. You seek to bicker with me in support of the premise that banning bickering is common sense and not armchair totalitarianism?

    I, in fact, meant my comment in good humour and was simply mocking our daddy figure in the good faith that he does not seriously intend on banning comments upon making the discovery that humans argue *gasp*, especially when there's no danger of getting smacked in the mouth for it. His reply vindicates my faith.

  • One of my favourites

  • Fight Club! XD

    

  • Funny comments, they turned into an argument about how one speaks. The internets is amazing. Great tune.

  • @treblaivan and radiohead. Thom yorke is a pixies fanboy lol. I think he actually was at this show if I'm not mistaken.

  • Gives me chills.

  • i love that black francis never really did anything to appease the rock star persona. normal shirt, normal haircut. lol he looks like some random guy they found at a bus stop on the way to the show.

  • someone in another video said the vocals ruined this song. i disagree.

  • don't ya just hate it when an amazin pixies song is ruined by arguments over wat language one speaks??

  • settle down about kurt

  • yes kurt did idolise this band and was even too scared to meet francis in his early music days but not too long after that, nirvana were huge and upon meeting him again he is no longer the naive underdog but a legend in his own right. they are both wicked bands love the pixies love nirvana. miss you kurdt..

  • niet zeuren, gewoon Pixies!

  • Nirvana is 1987 Pixies are 1986 they're two completely different bands that started about the same time.

  • @1980futureclone Cobain was influenced by the Pixies

  • why people have to argue about Nirvana on every single Pixies video?? Nirvana is my favorite band and Pixies is one of my favorite bands. Both are pure genious, can we please drop it now? Many people wouldn't have known about Pixies if not for Nirvana, I wouldn't - and Nirvana have a lot to thank Pixies for, about gaining the sound from quiet to loud etc.

  • @EpicClipsMovie Sorry, no we are monkeys.

  • @EpicClipsMovie why wouldn't people have known about the pixies if it weren't for nirvana? that's a ridiculous statement.

  • KON ESTA ME VOY

  • amazing song, thx the UL&Pixies!!

  • mi canción siempre <3

  • okay time for papa to step in.....stop arguing and bickering or else i will not allow comments again

  • @enthnd03 Fascist.

  • @Omnilegence

    that's the way this channel rolls

  • @Omnilegence

    that's the way this channel rolls

  • @enthnd03 :D

  • @enthnd03 :D

  • @Omnilegence i LOL SO HARD ON THIS!

  • @enthnd03 Congress needs you.

  • @soundofmusic94 Nirvana has everything to do with the pixies. Kurt Cobain cited them as a musical inspiration for his work.

    @inglishbulldog Kurt Cobain once said that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was him trying to rip of the The Pixies.

    @martenbick1 Nirvana would still be a big band, maybe not as big since the untimely death of Kurt, he was known as "The Spokesman of a Generation."

  • I don't have an idea why you are arguinig which band is better. Both are genius, basta.

  • if kurt cobain didnt blow his brains out nirvana would be no bigger than the pixies

  • @soundofmusic94 Pixies are great and so are nirvana,

  • @FridgeMice yep...

    PD Fuck possers. : D

  • @soundofmusic94 fuck you

  • @tnable182 Ok.. Posser .... lorito puto maricon que lo unico que piensa es en la rubia de kurt para lamerle el escroto

  • @soundofmusic94 i dont speak illegal try again

  • @tnable182 illegal??? please ... your pathetic.. I know english better than you..

    PD: im CHILEAN by the way!!

    learn something in school.. fucking ignorant redneck.

  • @soundofmusic94 Chile sucks its like a long turd barely hangin on to the rest of South America 

  • @tnable182 kiddie ... stop playing videogames! grow up

  • @soundofmusic94 i was on your side against this ignorant redneck, but then you had to throw out some ignorant homophobic comments yourself. now you look just as bad as him, so congrats.

  • @toribjork10 MM.. who cares? Homophobic? cmon dude grow up

  • @soundofmusic94

    i care, actually, because i'm gay and latino. and after someone just insulted you for being latino, you turn around and say something just as bad. you really learned from this experience huh? and i am "grown up", thanks. i'm not the one calling people "puto maricon" on youtube like an ignorant 12 year old homophobe. and if your behavior online is any indication of how you act in real life, maybe you should "grow up" and learn some dignity and respect.

  • @toribjork10 Bueno , no es tu asunto, si un redneck me insulta , me lo dijo a mi y o me ocupo como se lo digo y que decirle, porque se lo digo a un redneck ignorante asqueroso no a un LATNO GAY, porque no es mi problema ok? Que no todo te afecte en la internet porque el que termina enojado e insultado detras de la pantalla seras TU. Claro todo? ningun problema. Saludos

  • @soundofmusic94 anytime some insults: my gay culture, my latin or american heritage or ANYTHING else i consider important to me as a person, then i will call you or anyone else out on it because i have something called self-respect, entiendes? y jodas tu "no es mi problema". i made it my damn problem. ahora, esto claro? and in the future i will do the exact same thing again. and don't tell me to grow up and then make childish comments on my personal channel, and then say i don't have a life.

  • @toribjork10 Ok , Im sorry.

  • @soundofmusic94 yeah man, it's cool no problem

  • @toribjork10 Empaty ... tolerance. Thanks for that! Im a dick sometimes : D

  • @toribjork10 Dignity and respect! You really are a pixie. Would you like some everlasting wonder and tranquility to go with that?

    Now I may not be mature, involved in the conversation or particularly informed on the topic of gay latinos but I think you are:

    a) Wasting your time.

    b) Stupid.

    c) Way, way, way too inclined to give a fuck.

    Go read some poetry or solve a maths equation or something, arguing here is just...tiring. For everyone.

  • @Omnilegence well, you're right about not being informed.

    and it seems you're "inclined to give a fuck" also by deciding to throw in your unsolicited 2 cents in. you're also wasting your time as well.

    and i'll continue saying whatever i please, and "giving a fuck" whenever i please also. so stick that in your poetry book. and i couldn't give 2 shits what someone, who doesn't have any clue where i'm coming from, has to say about "wonder" and "tranquility". So, get bent, por favor?

  • @toribjork10 I don't have a poetry book(I thought that was something a gay Latino might do) , I don't speak Spanish(which I assume is the language you keep using for....no fucking reason at all) and again you're letting your stupidity cloud your judgement.

    Well it's very easy to get defensive and uppity about how validating your life is and walk around zealously attacking those that offend you, but it's not like you're making progress. I mean you can't even convince me that you're not an idiot.

  • @Omnilegence i keep using spanish because its the fucking language i speak and so did soundofmusic, it's not for no reason at all. "letting your stupidity cloud your judgement"? what are you even talking about? what am i supposed to be judging and what is clouded about what i've said? i think you just thought that sounded clever and decided to say even though it doesn't make any sense.

    i'm not out to convince you of anything. you're the one that decided to start a conversation with me.

  • @toribjork10 Actually I started an argument. "i think you just thought...." >you judging me, and it is clouded because it is inaccurate. I fwill not supply evidence for this point, I am the highest authority on the matter.

    I speak German as my primary language, yet I don't integrate tid bits of it into conversation because it is annoying and there is no reason to do so, I am able to communicate in English.

    Why do you decide to give a fuck, but don't bother trying to convince people?

  • @Omnilegence l soundofmusic and i speak spanish, a lot of people that speak both english and spanish, esp chicanos like me, will speak in both at the same time. it's not "annoying" to us, it's a cultural thing that you clearly don't get so it's really not for you to see a "reason" in it.

    and btw, i "give a fuck" about what soundofmusic was saying. you just jumped in the convo we were having and assumed i had something to prove to you. again, i don't care because i wasn't talking to you.

  • now, i'm glad you think you're the highest authority. i want you to continue going through life with that kind of foolish self confidence. again, i don't give a fuck what you do. after i hit "post" when i'm done typing this response, you'll be blocked anyway. so by all means, pat yourself on the back in self-congratulations that you've "won".

    and since another way of talking is "annoying" to you:  chupa mi verga, chingalero

  • "about how validating your life is" again, you're not making any sense. do you even know what the definitions are to the words you're using lol.

    what is "attacking" about calling someone out?

    and, "not making progress"? well he apologized and agreed with me so i guess i did, huh?

    "something a gay latino might do" ooooh you're so macho and cool dude! yeah, art and poetry is fuckin' gay! fuckin' pussies!

    if you can't even understand half of what we said, why are you sharing your opinion?

  • @soundofmusic94 WTF? Are you retarded dumb fuck? Nirvana arent posers. Nor do they rip off Pixies.

  • @inglishbulldog people are possers .. not nirvana

  • @soundofmusic94 Nirvana and The Pixies are two different bands....Standing for different things. Its like saying The Ramones are better than Neil Young....Two different artists my friend. Its all good music.

  • I love how Black Francis looks like just a regular guy you'd walk by and think nothing of it.

  • fuck drugs ....do pixies !!!!!!

  • Their songs sound modern because they pioneered modern sound. Kurt Cobain said he owed everything to the Pixies.

  • @treblaivan i got to see the pixies 50 times in the 80s b4 they got popular in the USA. there would be less than 50 people at small clubs in boston till 89...

    mad thrashing small crowds...

    great times,

  • this songs another unforgetable, as its just 2 funny!

  • I wish kim deal was my sugar-mommy!

  • ooooooooo-oooooooooo!!!!

  • how the hell did i miss these guy in the 80's! and their music sounds so different that the typical 80's tunes..a decade ahead of their time.

  • 3 people have lost their mind.

  • Hah, Weezer, Nirvana, up to Modest Mouse etc., pretty much all alternative bands since have ripped this off.

  • @jabuhrer1 I love all those bands and I listened to them before listening to Pixies. But as of right now, these guys are my favorite, you can just tell the huge influence they've had on the indie rock genre. Even Issac Brock said that Pixies are one of his greatest influences. So I wouldn't say ripping off, I'd say paying homage to. Haha

  • @alfd11 For sure! Didn't mean that in a negative way, just saying. I love those bands too! Cheers! :)

  • @jabuhrer1 That's good, it's always good to find another music lover on youtube!

  • @jabuhrer1 i wouldnt say tht cause they all have their own sound...of course ya gonna be influenced by older music but i wouldnt say ripped this off. i mean if you wanna be tht much of a conceited asshole pixies fan than i say every band after the 70s "ripped" off the Beatles. i mean why the hell you gonna bitch about great band as u listed and then overlook the shit out today..dont be one of those "underground" assholes.

  • wow this is almost record perfect. very impressed

  • Who ever voted this down should be killed by stoning.

  • Kim looks like a crazy cat lady!

  • Awesome!

  • Mind-blowing. Does anyone know where and when this is?

  • @HowardZinnForPM London-1988

  • esta si es cancion y no maamadas aah.

  • the drummer seems to be having difficulty with that tricky beat.....

  • really love the sound this music have on this show

  • Not trying to make a joke or get thumbs up or whatever, but seriously, how could there possibly be anyone, let alone 3 anyones, who dislike this song.

  • I love Kim!!! Long live the Pixies

  • this is the best version

  • omg... why has the pixis > Nirvana comment 7 thumbs up??? they are both great bands... we have to concentrate on our enemy you foolllllls... THE MAINSTREAM

  • I used to love Nirvana, especially their old stuff untill I discovered the Pixies and completely saw where Kurt got his sound. I still love Nirvana but i LOVE THE PIXIES!!!!

  • @shaywan1974 I dont think Nirvana ever denied that, both great bands but I wish Pixies got more credit

  • Pixies > Nirvana

  • @AFirmKickInThePants fuck you man they are both great bands

  • @Nirvaaanaa They're called personal opinions

  • @AFirmKickInThePants thts a funny comment yea one hit wonders are better than the best thing to happened to music since the Beatles...haha dumbass sorry im not "underground" enough to like the pixies better than one of the best bands of all time and a band who put out the number one song of the 90s

  • @tnable182 first of all, Pixies aren't a one-hit wonder. They never got too popular, but that's another thing. Second, they influenced way more bands than Nirvana - Nirvana included. Third, Nirvana were undoubtedly important but technically inferior to many other bands of their time; I surely wouldn't call them the best thing ever since The Beatles (I don't even consider The Beatles the best thing ever, but that's an opinion). I don't mean to be underground, I just think Pixies were far better.

  • @tnable182 with that said, I like Nirvana, I'm not a hater, but I think you should first document yourself before saying Pixies are just a one-hit wonder.

  • @AFirmKickInThePants in the grand scheme of music they kinda are a one hit wonder if you take away its cult following esp. compared to nirvana. like be honest, nirvana > pixies 

  • @tnable182 that's what you say. In the history of rock music, both were important in their own ways, and since the Pixies came first and Nirvana were admittedly influenced by them, I'd rather say they were a little more relevant. And cult following doesn't really mean a band is worse than other most-famous bands. The Velvet Underground were mostly a cult following when they came out; that means nothing

  • @AFirmKickInThePants idk i agree with the part about being more famous doesnt make you better but at the same time nirvana never stood for that or wanted tht and yet it happened. thts why i say they are better and just because a band influences you doesnt mean they win automatically......a son can be more successful than his father

  • @tnable182 yeah what I like about Nirvana is that they were humble and never cared about success (and I think success itself is what ruined them). And you're right about the son-father thing, but see it this way: if there's no father you can't have a son. And the Pixies fathered way more bands than you can think of; The loud-quiet-loud dynamics were invented by them. Again, I'm not bashing Nirvana, I just suggest that you listen to more than just one Pixies song, you might find out they're great

  • @AFirmKickInThePants the pixies didn't "invent the quiet loud dynamic".... the pixies were an awesome band, but as of late are starting to become way overrated.

    and nirvana was an ok band, and they've been overrated for a while now.

  • @toribjork10 then who invented it? I'm not contentious, I'm just curious because I've always thought they did

  • i love this band

  • just found out about this band holy fucking shit... instantly zoomed to my top 5 of all time easily. (maybe higher ;))

  • where IS my mind!? :S

  • in your brain

  • The Pixies Rock! They sound the same live as they do on CD....unfortunately, I puked my brains out for part of it.....but I went back to enjoy the rest of the show. It was in a large stadium and we all went ape shit when they played this song!

  • @atthepistol your a mistake.

  • Nice one mate, great response there.

  • Where is My Mind is my favourite song of all time, which is why im watching this video. I just thought others might be interested to see the Pixies make a mistake, because they rarely do. Kim Deal can't hit some hight notes anymore, but The Pixies do something to me that I can't or wouldn't want to describe on here. They take me to another level. Don't be so rude, meatwad07.

  • David Lovering is such an underrated drummer

  • you might wanna double check your facts. phil spector shot an actress, not kim deal

  • -Yeah, I just mean she looks like Lana Clarkson, but feel free to NOT GET IT AT ALL!!!!!

  • great song.

  • one of my fav's since I was a teen. I can listen to song over and over and not get bored

  • great!!

  • E C#minor G#major Amajor Verse & Chorus

    E G#major Amajor Aminor C#minor B for that little bridge before the I was swimming in the Caribbean

  • Fucken great song....haunting integration, great melody, almost spiritual....I can listen all day to this tune.

  • IT'S JUST LIKE HE'S PLAYING

  • Just trying to work out the chords.

    It looks like he's playing:

    E - Dbm - Ab - A

  • Nah, mine sounds a lot closed to what he's playing on the vid...

    moron

  • close enough my son

  • Also, the main riff is as simple as it is genious :) It's all based around a D chord chape moved up to the 4'th fret. And you only play the two lowest strings :) Play around and you'll find out.

  • woops, I mean offcourse the two highest strings (B and E) when it comes to notes, but the lowest on the guitar ;)

  • its on the 9th fret, playing the g and b strings.

  • Allright :) I might try that, but the other way has always worked for me. If it is correct I do not know

  • it sounds SOOOO much better if you play it on 5th and 4th frets on E and B strings. It's how Joey plays it.

  • its just the melody to the chord progression with a ton of distortion. so epic

  • Cant wait to see them soon in NZ!

  • q grande los pixies!!! mae son lo mejor!!! sigan adelant!!!

  • awesome

  • pure magic

  • so old and so good , black still has hair lol

  • los amo a pesar de haber nacido muy tarde , GRACIAS POR SEGUIR JUNTOS Y HACERNOS OLVIDAR LA PORQUERIA DE MUSICA DE ESTOS TIEMPOS

  • LOVE. THIS. SONG.

  • fantastik.... love it...

  • THE song.

  • Find a better band, i dare you!

  • their songs still sound super modern

  • timeless classics

  • @dowhat93 because its timeless

  • great sound! great song!

  • love it.

  • they sound great.

  • i like the way bands like the Pixies didnt really look that different from the normal. Sometimes it gets annoying when bands try so hard to look different, they lose something with the music.

  • yeah, this is how live performances should be

    no fucking theatrics, just music

  • Thompson is playing a guild.

  • so ahead of thier time.

  • Ahead of their time because they're what inspired everything that came after them.

  • anyone one know what kind of acoustic Black is playing?

  • you idiot, joey santiago isn't chinese

  • twice the idiot for saying he's chinese, and referring him to harold and kumar. idiot.

  • frank's voice is so different than everyone elses. the pixies are fantastic. no one can copy them because they're so original

  • do you think so?

    what about the smiths and the stone roses.

  • OK, best American band of the 80's then. Still my favorite though. The Smiths, Sonic Youth, Stone Roses are awesome bands too, there is no way of arguing this.

  • Best band of the 80s'!

    Nono don't argue with this. BEST BAND OF THE 80s'!!

  • I think this is the most underrated band in the world, they rock. :)

  • @torarne1

    Dinosaur Jr. and They Might Be Giants are the top 2 most underrated bands ever. Then the Pixies.

  • @torarne1 it's so underrated that it's known to be kurt cobain's main influence...
