  • and not a single fuck was given that day

  • Pavement was one of the best alternative bands . I agree that so many people learning guitar just stopped at this kind of music when they could have learned jazz and other musics . Other than that sad historical side note Pavement is great . It can be harder to write a great pop song than a masterpiece symphony . I know im a composer and have tried both . Spongy sour tweedles .

  • 20 people are... oh, nevermind, I'll listen to the song :D

  • Gary's facial expressions.

  • @Jagewuel um i love gary but hes nowhere to be found on this-im curious whadda ya mean?

    

  • @Nero24k your a fucking idiot i mean why are you so mad at billy corgan your music prefrences can be whaterver you want fine but did he do to you calm down man

  • 最高!

  • you can tell how many shits Leno gives about Pavement. Sad.

  • @workingwithbenny Thats pretty much any late night host and any band... its always awkward... it looked like pavement didn't give a big shit about this performance or at least didn't want to because they kind of phoned it in and acted a little too cool like they didn't really wanna be there... that was a great song and they didn't do it justice in front of a national audience.

  • Love this song and band! Wish I was cool back then....guess I just bought a guitar

  • sucks

  • And then Jay Leno comes along and fucks it all up.

  • I can see why the Smashing Pumpkins hate these guys so much

  • @Nero24k Lol, why? 

  • @thewrathofbombast these guys are awful!

  • @Nero24k yeah pavement are pretty good. smashing pumpkins, they were like my most favourite band ever, but sophomore poems set to fuzzy classic/prog rock riffs isn't really my thing anymore. i grew up, is basically what i mean.

  • @byroncoley yea art critics used to be my thing back in school but i guess i grew up.nothin worse than a washed up critic-sell all ur limited editions and move to the moon byron noone cares

  • @Nero24k fuck the smashing Pumpkins billy corgan is a control freak and a little winging pussey

  • and not a single fuck was given that day

  • I wish indierock was always like this...it's a hell of a lot more fun than what's going on today.

  • love the minutemen shirt

  • HE BROKE THE GUITAR!?!?!?!?

  • Malkmus looks so high XD

  • sounds like my my mentally disabled cousin's band...

    except worse.

    and fuck jay leno.

  • @Lifesucksdie123 Try listening to "Wowee Zowee."

  • @Lifesucksdie123 *SEARCHING FOR FUCKS TO GIVE*

    *ERROR NO FUCKS DETECTED*

  • @Lifesucksdie123 hahaha

  • Incredibly Ironic to be performing this song on The Tonight Show at this point in their career. Way, WAY ahead of their time.

  • the beginning......

  • the guy with the tambourine is getting quite the workout. : P

  • and on that night not a single fuck was given.

  • good song @ /watch?v=_FPSKKHO1UY

  • career

  • korea

  • Thats the sound my gf makes!

  • Comment removed

  • "NO BIG HAIR!!!" I guess these guys hate the 80's with a passion. I myself love the 80's!

  • Cool! Bob is wearing a Minutemen t-shirt.

  • testament to the slacker philosophy? I would say this is the Slacker Anthem. No song better captures the mid 90's moment in time . . . .unless it is Frontwards . . . . . .

  • When I grow up I want to be Stephen Malkmus.

  • jay leno just bought a guitar

  • and people accuse the 80s hair bands of putting on a show and working on their image too much, being over the top. these guys are no better. "oh look at us, we're too cool for this shit".

  • I never realized how close "Korea" and "Career" sounded until I heard this song

  • Who's Jay Leno?

  • Effortless brilliance.A true testament to the slacker philosophy.

  • This was around the time when I had a teency bit of hope for humanity.

  • CAREER! CAREER! CAREER! CAREER!

  • KOREA! KOREA! KOREA! KOREA!

  • This is Music.... why is it gone nowadays?

  • "needless to say we're gonna be vegetables when we get there" MALKMUS IS SO HIGH

  • Malkmus is sooo fucking COOL!! :D

  • Best part? The Minutemen!!!!

  • my god, his voice.

  • @clarissajuice1 Hey now, no need for that.

  • Malks gonna be on Jimmy Falloon tonight

  • Pavement is spectacular, you have to adore them, they're so subjective to musical criticism, and if they actually have talent or not. But they created a sound, incomparable to any other band, by combining the struggling and cracky vocals, along with hard unlcean distorted guitar sounds, then finally finished off with basic harmonies. It's genius.

  • @Gattigang on slanted and enchanted they didn't even have bass guitars, they just played regular guitars through bass amps

  • @TheMadnessFlow

    LOL. Why are you trying to psycho analyze Pavement from this jay leno performance? You don't even know the difference between there, their, and they're. And you like Tyler the Creator so you have no right to talk about music.

  • @popkornchken i guess i wasn't specific enough .. "their hipsters" (the correct version is they're) haha great retort.. good to know you're so out of counter arguments you resort to scouring my music interests for argument material. anyways i'll leave you with your thoughts. Have a good one buddy.

  • They try to hard to seem like they dont care.

    It's sad really to want to appear that different...

  • @TheMadnessFlow or they really just dont give a fuck what people think of them.

  • @IndieFolkRocker How naive....

    There is nothing special about them, so they pretend to not care. It's there thing, whatever, their hipsters.

    But if you think for a minute a band starts up and doesn't care about how their viewed, you are severely misinformed.....

  • @TheMadnessFlow (They're*) I'm glad you've got that fallback term "hipster" in your infinitely limited vocabulary of yours and as much as i think youtube arguments are utterly pointless I'm bored and feel like making you look like an idiot. "There is nothing special about them" i'm not sure if you're aware (probably not) but pavement has been dubbed multiple times as one of the seminal and most influential bands of the 90's so before you go around bashing other bands for being "hipsters" and...

  • @TheMadnessFlow assuming that everyone is as insecure as you and MUST be constantly thinking of what people think of them, hold that thought and just don't open your mouth.

  • @IndieFolkRocker Attack me personally all you want, but you're just blinded by your fanhood if you think that guys in the public eye aren't self-conscience about how they're viewed.

  • @TheMadnessFlow i'm not even a big fan, but hey were all entitled to our own opinions so i concede to the fact that yours might differ from mine, but its not the fact that im a fan that i'm "attacking" you, its because of the shallow view you have of bands and their motives. but like i said, i'm not big into arguing on youtube so i'm off. cheers.

  • @IndieFolkRocker if you just pretend that they really are like this, wouldn't they be a great fucking band? well, they made like 400 songs like this. so they are. ENJOY.

  • dude...

    just dude.....

  • malkmus is anxious as hell and stoned.

  • @helmutundhammer I assumed he was stoned at all times.

  • science as proven it, the smallest amount of fucks were given on this stage

  • the funniest is how SM walks around Leno like he was gonna punch him in the back of his head @3:37 when somehow Jay made his Git hit the floor. LOLzzzz

  • People who want to learn how to not give a fuck, look no further.

  • Any normal person would look at this and go, "... The fuck?"

    Pavement fans would say, "Wow, that was actually pretty normal."

    Great version of the song. I just love how they never care. XD

  • "I just bought a guitar." lol

  • I fucking love these guys

  • Lord Malkmus. I forgive you for all the mediocre jicks records

  • @Athiest1950

    It's funny how you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. The members of Pavement are not anything like the mold of hipster you have in mind. It's very obvious you've never heard a single Pavement record in your life since Pavement is way far off from being angsty. Than you bring up Weezer, who made some of the most angsty records in the 90s with Blue Album and Pinkerton. Not to mention you sound like a smug, pretentious teenage a-hole. Are you a troll or just stupid?

  • I like the part where they gave a shit.

  • @Swedernish You don't like the song?????

  • @DomSaget I love this song :D i just realised that my comment made no sense ;D

  • @Atheist1950 Shut up.

  • @Atheist1950 Shut up ODD future faggot bahaha

  • @crazydude159 Unfortunately, in the future you produce even lamer comments than you do now. "bahaha"

  • @Atheist1950 i wish i was an atheist. basically the hipsters of belief systems.... so cool

  • @tracksuitjim If my acceptance of reason, rationality, and the laws of science and my rejection of a belief in supernatural magic makes me a hipster, well oookayyy! Jim, you are an atheist (and thus; apparently, a hipster) too. You don't believe in Zeus or Thor or Yahweh or Poseidon or Osiris or Aurora or Mami Wata or ETC ETC ETC. Your religious beliefs are utterly arbitrary. I do agree with you that being an atheist is "so cool." I think atheists are "so cool" for the very reasons listed above.

  • @Atheist1950 buddy heres all riled up. why don't you settle down and clean the sand out of yr vagina

  • @tracksuitjim You disappoint me Jim. I had hoped for some semblance of a debate with you. Alas, all you can muster is advice to clean sand out of my vagina. It is evident to me that attempting to engage in intellectual discourse with you is like trying to have a conversation with a dining room table. We're done here. Go ahead and have the last word, I trust it'll be quite profound.

  • @Atheist1950 LOLOL dude fuck off, i'd rather save the people here looking for comments about the band all the pretentious posts of two people arguing "intellectually".

  • Pavement gave Leno the big break he was looking for but he blew it.

  • whats the name of the song in the first 15 seconds?

    

  • @tonyflow730 i don't think that's a song, probably just fucking around

  • @tonyflow730 its sort of brinx job

  • Best thing Malkmus did was with the Silver Jews. Listen to his solo on Random Rules. I can't get into Pavement, but maybe there's something more to them.

  • @hiccupprelude yeah it is, you should check it out, and his solo records too. if your'e stoned and horny

  • @hiccupprelude i got into the jews before pavement. for a long time i would have agreed with this post. i have learned to love pavement though, and slanted and enchanted is by far the best thing malkmus has ever done

    i love the jews, but pavement will always be #1

  • "Uh-oh I've just bought a guitar," bwahahahaha, the king of late night!

  • They were supposed to be big , but crashed so hard i LOL'd .

  • @PunkyPorker you're a douche.

  • you're a total douche.

  • I call Troll.

    

  • Got the same goosebumps I got at 21 when I heard this upon its release.

  • There was a time when I thought these guys were the sh*t. Now I think they're a bunch of unlistenable douches.

  • @bcastaneda6 congrats on maturing like fine wine and moving onto kanye west (douche)

  • @Purplehaze310 Yeah, Kayne IS a douche. What do I care? I don't have to live with him. He makes great records, which is all I care about. Bob Dylan was an arrogant prick too when he was younger but that doesn't stop me from listening to "Highway 61."

  • @bcastaneda6 you once had good taste... thats too bad

  • @gar992000 Lucky for me art is totally subjective. Besides, having "good taste" is overrated.

  • @bcastaneda6 yeah having bad taste is the bees knees....

  • @gar992000 Whether one has "good" or "bad" taste is irrelevant. That's my whole point. Why you like something, the reasons you give for responding to it, are far more interesting (to me anyway) than whether the object conforms to what what other people consider "good" or "bad."

  • I would have punched Jay Leno for dropping my Guitar!

  • damn they suck... at playing guitar.

  • @ESP4thaWin It sounds good, also you are totally missing the point of this music so don't listen to it.

  • @ESP4thaWin Your name is 'ESP4thaWin', you have no opinion on what good guitar sounds like

  • The best thing on the internet. And that's including porn.

  • conan wouldn't have broken the sg

  • I can't beleive i used to hate these guys, then i discovered Flipper and the Cramps...noise is wonderful

  • ... And then Jay Leno walked onstage being all like "WTF?"

  • 3:25 ......and that kids, is why Malkmus never recorded with his SG again

  • is stephen malkmus drunk?

  • @colpetne Oh yeah.

  • try harder. TRY HARDER!!

  • bob is awesome

  • 9 people need a haircut.

  • DAMN... I'm 16 again!!

  • :39 Minutemen tshirt

  • summer will kill u if u dont post this to other videos! sorry someone forced me to do this....

  • and not a single fuck was given that day

  • @mosher1779 aware? i loled at the beginning of the vid.

  • @mosher1779 you clearly rule because you obviously suck

  • @TehZombie Me tambien!

  • We need more tambourine!

  • He had smoked some great shit.

  • whos the fruit playing tamberine ? :L it looks like hes haveing fun...

  • Great video, but SM is being his usual drunk-c*nt self with his over-the-top laissez-faire attitude. Steve West got sick of this toward the end. His songs are so great, it pissed me off when he used to just half-ass them live...

  • They looked like they stepped out of an Eddie Bauer ad. If they did this performance today, and dressed the same way, they would have to move to Iowa.

  • I liked the part where Malkmus didn't give a single fuck

    AT ALL

  • @TehZombie

    So, you liked the whole video

  • @TehZombie greatest comment on youtube.

  • hey mr.tambourine man!

  • sweet dudes wearin a minutemen shirt

  • haha hes playin the tambourine like hes hendrix!!

  • they're all baked

  • whatever he's on, I want some

  • "Did I did that?"

  • KOREA! KOREA! KOREA!...i know, that joke is old, but it gets me every time

  • @SilentEcho33 wats the old joke?

  • @myenergytrade Malkmus says "CAREER! CAREER! CAREER!...not KOREA!, etc.. lol

  • "just the other night" ,classic. nod to the tonight show and the song literally playing out in front of everyone.

  • @jimmiescoffee Or maybe it's because "just the other night" is the way SM always sang it live........

  • @funforalgernon well thanks expert. i was just stating the obvious coincidence.

  • lol 0:49 I think Malkus was going crazy

  • slackers unite

  • I love how stephen doesnt even care :D

  • I want to be Malkmus.

  • this was back when everybody tuned their guitars by ear.. if they even remembered to tune it ;)

  • Can anyone tell what amp Malkmus is using here? Looks like a Fender amp...

  • @dudemann5798 if i remember right, he used a fender twin around this time. switched to an orange OR120 not long after, though.

  • @dudemann5798 if i remember right, he used a fender twin around this time. switched to an orange OR120 not long after, though.

  • i cut my hair after i listened to this song!

  • Wooooooo!!!! I Love Apathy!!!!!!

  • i like to think that whenever they were supposed to practice they would just write a genius song and then do the thing in the beginning for the rest of the day

  • what song was he playing before this?

  • @LookMax50 AHHH AH AH AHHHH AH AH

  • Pavement was a great band in the fact that they made you want to get out and do something, yet sit at home and do nothing at the same time.
