  • LAME

  • WE ARE THE FANS YOU NEED US!!!

  • WTF...ARGGGGG

  • ¬¬

  • whoa

  • Fuck youtube. Whats the fucking point of watching a music video if you can't actually hear the fucking music!!!!

  • "kick out youtube fuckers"....

  • Fuck you, you tube, fuck you

  • ANARCHISM

  • SCREW THIS!

  • Fucking REDICULOUS. Posting youtube videos with music is doing them a favor, it's promoting, not destroying them. If it was destroying them at all, it's because people find out how badly a CD is before they buy it. In other words, it only hurts them because they can't rip people off, by making them buy a whole CD to listen to one song. If people like it, they will buy it.I ain't even coming to youtube anymore if they do this with every fucking video that has music with a copyright.

  • fuck youtube

  • fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

  • watch?v=SZEJVpWQznQ

  • We love music! We can't stand by silently while the music industry continues its decades-long effort to lock up our culture! If you think that it sucks that audio had to be disabled here BOYCOTT MUSIC INDUSTRY!

    - Only buy audio-cds second-hand from now on (Use amazon's second-hand section or ebay from apparently private persons)

    - Don't download from online music stores anymore

    - Support self-marketing bands

    - Spread this message here on every muted video you encounter

  • i've been doing that senes before i found out about this lol

  • what a bunch of shortsighted dipshits these suits are. You morons have a chance to reach tons of people who would otherwise NEVER even bother listening to all the shit you are pulling because of copywrite.

    Ah yea gotta make that 5$ on a song thats what almost 20 years old now...

    greedy fucks

  • well said. this is the free world right? cunts.

  • this is quite a hilarious vid without the sound.. oh, hi there, Blixa

  • this is ridiculous

  • youtube is starting to fail so bad is so many ways...

  • YouTube nazi's took away the audio, fascist fuckers!

  • Haha they leave the video online but remove the audio. Corporate fuckwads.

  • Damn bastards restricting the audio....

  • do people play GH for the music or to have have fun?

  • I actually agree with AaronRes. I think RB/GH cheapen the music. It'd be one thing if you were actually playing guitar on the game, but I think the whole "hit the right button" is totally pathetic.

  • I wonder how good my generation would be at music if they spent the money they used on the GH/RB games alone on a starting guitar and could actually get into it.

    It's pretty ridiculous too in some songs where the GH version is way harder than the actual guitar version would be xD

  • the best song ever....

  • when i got rock band 2, i only got into sonic youth about a month earlier so i was only familiar with their hits and daydream nation, so when i saw that this song was in rock band 2, freaked out

  • yes i am chickensalad.

  • yeah and you guys included neil young in this video.keep on rocking :-)

  • i love this song, Probably one of their all-time best, though daydream nation wasnt my favorite

  • I knew about this song before it was written fgts!

    I am uber fan boy! Someone perform fellatio on me!

  • wait this song was in rockband 2?

  • yes

  • unlike most people, i knew about this song BEFORE rock band 2. one of my faves.

  • So?! haha just kidding i say that all the time, but really it doesnt matter. who cares how you learn about a new song/band, as long as you like it why not listen to it.

  • Obviously you don't know anything about the grunge or noise-rock movement, or maybe you don't even know what the word indie means.

    If this was in the old days I doubt kurt cobain would enjoy his music on such a retarded game or even this band.

    Basically, grunge was against commercialism.

    RB/GH are the biggest possible pieces of commercialism I have ever seen.

  • who gives a FUCK!!!

  • why is the game retarded? What's your problem? The games are fun and for the most part have some great songs on them. Is it commercial because you pay for it, after it cost millions for the companies to make? Despite the fact that nearly every employee in Harmonix is in some sort of independant band I'm sure they're only making the games for the money?

    Elitest scumbag

  • I had never heard Sonic Youth before playing the games because of my age, and after hearing them I went out and got Daydream Nation and Goo and I love them to death. Who cares how you first heard of them, what's important is enjoying the music.

  • Just because they're in an indie band doesn't mean that they're not making the series just to make money. Actually, that's why their making it.

    I think it's alright that someone learns about good bands through guitar hero. I just hate it when people get that one song and never even try to listen to the whole album.

  • totally agree with you

  • to true to true

  • sooo you're saying more people learned about this song from a video game than in the 20 years it has been around?

  • This whole album (Daydream Nation) is just excellent. It is my personal favorite of their work.

  • Thurston Moore doesn't have a vagina.

  • perfect

  • Back when this video came out years ago there was no such concept as youtube so all the video footage dropped in was always so cool to see because it had obviously been culled from the cache of a hip archivist somewhere. I love seeing all the references in this - Harvey Picar , The Birthday Party, Iggy, Patty Smith, Blixa , Minor Threat, Neil Young , Mike Watt , Mark E Smith, Richard Hell , Black Flag , Sun Ra etc. Such a great song, such a great video. One of the greatest bands of all time.

  • great song

  • cool influences? what language is this? where do you think you are

    emdiggitydogg?

    Moore knows something more than you...and he is not cool.

  • it's only rock and roll but i like it.

  • Does it really have to be anything else?

  • then again thats usually what music video make ppl look like

  • i want to be a sonic youth they look and sound like theyre incredibly enjoying themsleves

  • lol i dunno why their classifed as noise rock :L

  • Listen to their oldest albums and you'll find out!

  • Sonic Youth is one of my favorite bands, right along with Pixies and The Cure

    Daydream Nation is one of their countless masterpieces, but my favorite album by them is Washing Machine

  • at 0:55 it shows pee wee

  • still jussa daydream nation.....dufus bwoy thinks he knows....hahahahaha....!

  • Cool song, remains me of the velvet underground, any sonic youth fans reading this, check the velvet underground out, you might like them.

  • You get a glimpse of Blixa Bargeld from Einstürzende Neubauten! :D 3:45

  • Greatest band ever!!!

  • are those strings at alot of parts during the song? like 3:18 about and many other times. strings or guitars?

  • Guitars are strings

  • lol yes they are but by strings i mean violins, violas, cellos etc.

  • Rated 5* just because it's Sonic Youth. Love their sound

  • Really good song.

  • i love the random Pee Wee Herman clip in the video

  • sonic youth is ok but i prefer nirvana

  • Which album do you recommend me to start to listen?:

    Day dream nation , siter , dirty , goo , murray street , sonic nurse ? which?

  • the album that got me to start listening to them was washing machine but id say daydream nation is some of there best work

  • Sister, Evol, and Daydream Nation are most commonly considered the Trifecta of Sonic Youth's greatness, as they capture them at a genious juxtaposition between their early (and late) completely avante garde days, and their later, more grungy commercially acessible albums (Like Dirty). Any era of Sonic Youth is kick ass, though. I'd say start with good 'ol Daydream, as it shines the brightest of all, but you'd be just as satisfied with, oh say, Washing Machine or Confusion is Sex, for example.

  • Day Dream Nation imo

  • If you`re new into Sonic Youth I recommend you to listen to Daydream or Goo first, those are good albums to start, your nickname tells me you speak spanish, I do too, tell me if you liked the albums.

  • sweet vid

  • y this vid has not yet hit the million mark?

  • Because shitty bands like My Chemical Romance get over twenty-five million.

  • opportune video for Greece...

  • this is the coolest song from sonic youth

  • how this video is not past 1 million views is beyond me

  • Fuck you,fuck you and yeah.....fuck you.

  • what are you smoking? sy is great

  • And how is your opinion a fact?

  • I wish I were born in the earlier so that I could have been there. Kim was so bodacious then.

  • nada surf is a knock off from sonic youth, they're much older ;)

  • no it aint but the song is a tribute to gibby from the butthole surfers

  • Thank you Sonic Youth for all the times you made me feel good! Loud loud louder!!

  • Hey.

  • these grandma still rockster until today

  • i used to be sonic youth, now i am sonic old and waiting to be sonic dead.

  • sonic who cares

  • you want me to die? how dare you.

  • I couldn't care less. And even if I did, you will die anyway.

  • sonic the hedgehog

  • Sonic the fast food restaurant. Slightly less enjoyable than Sonic Youth.

  • raw.

  • Sun Ra 2:14?

  • ya ya

  • nuclear war- its a motherfucker

  • And I'm fairly certain at 2:27 it's J Mascis attacking Lou Barlow. I think i read somewhere a clip of that was in this video.

  • I just want to say that the awful quality makes it sound even better

  • I agree, it's part of the appeal to me.

  • omg thats exactly what i was going to put!

  • intro?

  • perfect

  • :13 Pussy Galore, :20 Jad Fair, 1:36 KISS (obviously), 1:44 Jack Kerouac, 2:42 Daniel Johnston, 3:00 Mike Watt, 3:26 Nico (but maybe Joni Mitchell?), 3:36 thepinkorient said Tom Waits, but I'm thinking James Chance

  • I'm pretty sure 3.26 is joni mitchell. I Read an SY biography recently and am fairly sure it mentioned her as one of the ppl in this vid.

  • 3:36 is nick cave from the "nick the stripper" video. following that is a small glimpse of tom waits.

  • 0:42 Jeff McDonald of Redd Kross

  • 0:22 is kim deal, 2:27 is neil young, 2:28 is neil young from "this notes for you" video, 3:40 is D. Boon

  • Let's play identify the counterculture heroes! (SY members don't count). 0:49 = patti smith 1:12 = Mark e. smith 1:43 = Harvey Pekar 1:56 = Black Flag 2:14 = Sun Ra 2:24 = Iggy Pop (i think) 2:42 = Daniel Johnston Thats all i can get. I think the old dude at 3:31 might be marcel duchamps but i'm not sure. Can anyone get any more?
  • 3:45 Blixa Bargeld - Einsturzende Neubauten

  • beach boys, neil young, ian mackaye

  • I thought i saw neil young but the hair looked too afro-ey. Where was ian mackaye?

  • The old dude is William S. Burroughs.

  • At 2:24 that is Iggy Pop performing in Cincinnati.

  • That was Harvey Pekar from American Splendor at 1:42

  • Is there a video on Youtube with the beginning of part of this song, in which I believe the girl is saying "spirit desire"

  • i love black flag.

  • Oh sonic youth, the first band I ever saw preform live. And opening up for REM of all bands. Monster tour 94 Portland Oregon. It was rock.

  • the sound of that guitar makes me wanna break something

  • Really awesome song. My favorite song by Sonic Youth so far!

  • 1:56 is that henry rollins

  • yea that was rollins, black flag was on sst records with sonci youth

  • i was reading through the comments and nobody seems to like washing machine. its a pretty good album. not as good as sister goo or daydream but i think its just as good as evol. and their new stuff doesnt even compare.

  • i like sonic youth. they put music into a blender and manage to make it sound good. instead of relying on electronic equipment to make their voices sound good, they just let it go through raw. daydream is an epic album.

    oh and why is this version 4:16? just cause of the music video version?

  • Such a weird band.

  • fuck yea.... wtf

  • this song relaxes in a way that no other song does (something in the way - nirvana comes close)

    sonic youth rules

  • people tell me i sound like thurston when i sing but i woudnt bother leavin a comment sayin that

  • The best 90s statement, i was a teeenager then, saw their performance at Tivoli - nl in 92. Sonic Youth rocked.

  • except it came out in 1988

  • sonic youth the best, here in this channel, blueshit, band influencied by sonic youth

  • this is the first time ive listen to sonic youth.... and i think they got a bad singer..

  • i can still remember the first time i heard this.Fuck

  • ahhhh. i can still remember the first time i felt when i heard this. man how classic is SY.

  • trying to get into sonic youth, how would a person describe them? like laid back and mellow ?

  • not really, but they can be. They are unique and hard to describe, I'd say extreme 'noise rock' meets more convensional rock n roll. Throw some punk and pcychadelic in there and thats a start..Give these albums a try..Daydream Nation, Dirty, Sonic Nurse, Sister.

  • im getting into this band can anyone recomend me any hits by sonic youth

  • Try picking up a copy of the album daydream nation, it has the above song, and is a rather  spiffing album to boot. Also listen to the songs; Incinerate, Tunic (song for Karen), and Reena.

  • Daydream Nation and Young Guns Go For It

  • They aren't a top 10 band, obviously. But check out the albums Daydream Nation, Sister, Sonic Nurse, and Dirty..song 'Candle' '100%' 'Schizophrenia' 'Unmade Bed' 'Empty Page' 'Diamond Sea' 'Dirty Boots' to name a few..

  • err...cool?

    how should we respond to that?

  • One of the best '80s songs without a doubt. Great video.

  • i fucking love sonic youth!

  • This is beyond funny. LOL. LONG LIVE IGNORANCE...

  • 3:32 wow

  • THIS IS FUCKING MUSIC

  • AWESOME SONG AND VIDEO!!!

  • 2:14: Sonic Youth & Sun Ra... Unbeatable

  • more than awesome..

  • Muy, muy, alternativo.... es mis favoritos canciones de Sonic Youth. Ciao, gringos

  • jajajajaja gringos eso me hizo reir mucho jajajaj

  • lol gringos=whites

  • Yess... I say Daydream best, Goo second... :)

  • YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    SY 4EVR

  • I don't get it and you know I don't think I want it this was just weird but better than nothin eh bon

  • underated masterpiece

  • i still remember meeting Thurston at a club called the gig in the la area, he was so nice!!! we were underage, but he snuck us in!!!

  • TS 198 is awesome

  • TS 198 is a fag

  • It definitely takes a hell of a lot of intelligence to say "you suck dick".

  • Well, you are, of course, entitled to your opinion, but is there any logic in posting it here? I mean, you're not wrong in any way, but you are seriously outmatched and most people won't value your opinion (even it would deserve to be valued).

  • Alright finally someone who sees it, and i do apologize for even leaving a negative comment, I was in a bad mood and i always end up doing dumb things when im mad

  • It's no problem at all. I know exactly what you mean. Bad moods can suck dick. :-)

  • Greatest Song. Greatest Band. Period.
