Sonic Youth - Teenage Riot - Later... With Jools Holland - 2009

[Ruperth316]

its a shame they split after all those years...

[speekoftheozz]

man SY does not look their age at all.

[ScrotyMcDickface]

No-one comes close to Sonic Youth.

[TheMummy516]

Great song! Only problem I have is that there isn't the awesome drum fill like they have in the original :/ was looking forward to it.

[hybridbad1]

My god, i watch this Video like thousands time now..

[mitchqqqqqq]

oh shit I turn 20 in a few months! I better enjoy the hell outta this song while I can!

[paulbarrettable]

@mitchqqqqqq Same situation here! i wish i was 16 again damn!

[mitchqqqqqq]

great quality thanks for the upload

[ScrotyMcDickface]

Sonic Youth are Important. It's as simple as that.

[Kefka0630]

They keep it young, but apparently at a much slower tempo than the original. :(

[4demon9]

Thurston and Kim age well... VERY WELL.

[toomuchrose]

Kim Gordon, oh boy...those legs, even at 58 I would.

[gwiggy1]

Can you believe Thurston and Jools holland are the same age

[heytherecockboy]

Sonic Youth keeps you young, man!

[Solinvicti]

I may grow old, but I'll never grow up.

[alroblin]

sonic old never sonic youth forever

[Capburger]

I walked on to their bus when I was very very high and Steve Shelly yelled at me. Sorry Steve. You fucking wail brother.

[draculasbreakfast]

I mean Kim

[draculasbreakfast]

whoa how old is Kin there??

she looks amazing

look at those legs

[honeypower]

@draculasbreakfast she's 58 now, so she would have been about 56.

[christophermsharples]

@draculasbreakfast

56.

Still would.

[UltimateVenom]

thurston has prolonged sonic youth

[rockon6191]

Tuning for this song: GEDBAD

If you play guitar, you know how preposterous that is.

[HypsterBitch]

@rockon6191 GABDEG, actually. Lee is in GGDDGG.

[saraPunkGirl]

Kim Gordon Kick Ass!!! she´s amazing! :D <3 totally lover her...

[wcoolkidcarter17]

:O ..... Thats the only thing you can say to a performance this good by Middle Aged Adults..

[benbajillionaire]

Am I the only one who thought the mix sucked? I mean, granted he's got the more dynamic parts, Lee was too high and Thurston was way too low.

[chocolateblock789]

August in Brooklyn, they are playing

[nietzscheflake]

I shall not go quietly into the night...

[ternalator]

love this band to death, but dont they seem a little tired in this?

[insightdelight]

@ternalator Dude! Hilarious! Of course they seem tired, they're as old as your parents and still rockin' as good as they ever have. Hell, I'm 34 and I'm tired all the time. Don't judge, just enjoy.

[Theodora25]

@insightdelight that's awesome. I am 30 and tired all the time with making house payments and livin' the american dream. hahahaha. Still living a teenage riot in an old man body.

[Magnawulf]

Even got the black guy bobbing his head.

[StickManga]

thurston sounds like hes out of tune

[jordinho13]

@StickManga In a way, isn't Sonic Youth always out of tune?

[StickManga]

@jordinho13 i guess so. but i feel like even though they mess around with tunings alot, they still stay true most of the time of to whats tonally acceptable.

[Aquarray]

Favourite sonic youth track, great album, great band

[BeTheDeathOfMe]

Turn Thurston's fucking guitar up!

[samster92]

How long until arthritis kicks in?

[dark3rbol]

Thurston is a teenage riot in his own right.

[llamasarus1]

i think that thurstons guitar should be louder on this live performance. man, they're awsome. i wanna see one of their live performances

[jwpaskeuric]

i love the aspca sticker on his guitar

[MrGerone25]

Everyone in my school likes Kesha and JB and lady gaga when I say sonic youth they don't understand. A couple people have started listening to them and other good bands though

[DrugStabbingTime]

@MrGerone25 DON'T YOU EVER FUCKING REFER TO JB AS JUSTIN BIEBER! JB IS JAMES BROWN. DO YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND?

[hmaninc]

@DrugStabbingTime There's Four JB's, I just can't decide who's best.. Justin Bieber, James Brown, Jack Bauer and Jenson Button... Hmmm only one way to settle this - FIGGHHHTTT!!!!!

[DrugStabbingTime]

@hmaninc Definitely James Brown. The rest can't even hold a candle. James Brown had more talent and originality in his pinky then all those three combined.

[GreenFloyd12]

@hmaninc I hope you wouldn't consider Justin Beiber to be better then the 3 ladder.

[redjess1206]

@DrugStabbingTime Do we really need to have a heated conversation involving Justin Bieber on a Sonic Youth video, there's already one on every other video

[DrugStabbingTime]

@redjess1206 You're totally right, and I'm with you on that. But I'm not the one who brought him up. It was the guy I first replied to in my post who also mentioned Ke$ha and Lady Shithead.

[slayerfreak121]

I practically orgasm at dat opening riff.

[Lieu3C4]

The Michelin Man in the end hit the road to Route 66 via 89.

[ChaosEmerald85]

I was right up at the stage on new years eve & Thurston and Kim both still look great

[cpHiJet]

they still looking young xd

[666TIMJAMI666]

Thruston is teenager, forever.

[outlawscumfuc69]

I am 31 years old, i first heard this song and fell in love with sonic youth at 13! Watching this brought a tear to my eye!

[TheFranco34]

Not if Thurston starts doing car insurance adverts he's not..

[buddah99]

he's getting closer to Iggy pop...

[punknap]

This seems like a kinda more "chill version" to me.

[umbudamidlun]

The clue is in the name: Sonic YOUTH!! They will live forever

[dark3rbol]

@Shirokinukatsukami

Of course they will, they're Sonic freaking Youth for God's sake. My comment was a reply to someone who said they should change their name from Sonic Youth due to their age.

[sugarveins]

Sonic Youth is truly brilliant.

[julosx]

I have nothing against Mark ibold but the Youth at only 4 are definitely the real thing.

[4demon9]

Handjob 2:55

[esellori]

Well check out Kim's legs and she's 57.Nice!!!

[mizz1255]

One of the greatest riffs of all time.

[EnthalpyH]

My ears are bleeding. omfg!!!

[CaptainRoody]

Best band in the world. I saw them NYE and still buzzing from it

[stereosanctity7]

When I go out into the world....it seems like there are no sonic youth fans left...then I remind myself that there are by reading die hard fan comments on youtube...

[streakofutube]

I love Sonic Youth, but man, what a stupid thing to call your band. Sonic...Middleage...

[dark3rbol]

@streakofutube Sonic Old doesn't seem like a great name either, does it?

[Shirokinukatsukami]

@dark3rbol

They will always seem younger and more revolutionary than you...

[StraightPunkEdge93]

I love Thurston, he still sounds the same way he did when Sonic Youth released their first record. How many singers can sound the same for damn 30 years

[baacardi]

I was 20 years late hearing this. Well, better late than never...

[EYEZZKIDDIOS1]

hes 52 and a third !

[whangie1]

I don't believe Justin Beiber saying he likes Sonic Youth.

[stereosanctity7]

@whangie1 is that true?

[whangie1]

@stereosanctity7 Apparently so!

[shambler92]

@whangie1 think he just likes moore's hairstyle

[doryrempsey]

kim gordon has killer legs eh?

[TheMisfits00]

@doryrempsey

For sure

[dantedite]

.... damn good!

[samster92]

Thurston's Tele is tight.

[kamaseinc]

Wow, they are old buy they look so young at the same time!

[soulkid555]

kim looking good as ever.. :)

[deathtrack15]

They aint so youthful anymore

[danlikesmusicalot]

@deathtrack15 youth is in the heart :-)

[motofart]

Seeing them on NYE, can't fucking wait

[tramplefarts]

@motofart so am i! so fucking excited! london?

[motofart]

@tramplefarts Yeah :D Shellac supporting too!!!

[scottpastry]

@motofart ahhh sorry im australian you will have to excuse my ignorance here ....

''seeing them on NYE" ...what is NYE??

shellac supporting?? what the??

:)

[Nateyells]

@scottpastry New Years Eve

[TheGoldenPlates]

i'm pretty sure this song is about j mascis being the savior of underground guitar rock. the song was written when dinosaur jr were pretty awesome. they still are. loobiecore!

[richievegas01]

@TheGoldenPlates Yeah, I read somewhere it was about Sonic Youth wanting him to be President! At one time J was the biggest thing in alt rock, pre-'Nevermind'. Deservedly so, Dinosaur Jr had soe amazing songs.

[kamim6]

eeeekstra



[shoekstra1419]

Kim Gordon is such a punk

[thekillers1stfan]

this is one of the greatest songs ever

[matais1]

Thurston Moore must be immortal, there's no way he's 52!

[Flamglaster]

@matais1

he's no teenage anymore :D

[benciano]

@matais1 HE'S 52?!!!!!!??

[julosx]

@benciano Kim is born in 1953, Lee in 1956, Thurston in 1958 and Steve in 1962.

[hueondemierda]

@matais1 52!?

fuck :|

i thought that he was like forty or something, and even in that case, he doesn't represents that age either

[metalnut92]

@matais1 I hear he bathes in the blood of babies in order to retain his eternal youth.

[dfkdjfksjfkds]

@metalnut92 HAHA

[haiboriver]

still brings goose flesh now as the song was while I listen to it in my teenage years long time ago...

[GreenEyedLocoMan1]

1:55 He's having a whale of a time.

[uhhuhohyeah1234]

eargasm......that is funny....and this is a wicked tune

[TeamJacobRockz1]

Steve always looks so happy when he's playing. He might be the happiest man alive...besides Wayne Coyne.

[KITCHENOFDISTINCTION]

Jools' Later, like Stephen Fry, is a National Treasure.Seriously, life would be poorer if they did not exist. Probably no better live music show in the World. Storm Parliament or if feeliing particularly English, write a disapproving letter to the Daily Mail, if the BBC ever threaten to take it away.

[richievegas01]

@KITCHENOFDISTINCTION I don't think they (the Beeb) would dare, it's part of their public service remit etc. Top of the Pops has gone so it's the only music prog left on there, apart from bits of The Culture Show. There's nothing as good in the States, Austin City Limits is OK, they show Jools on PBS. In an age when The X Factor is considered 'music' televsion, Jools has gone from being cool to a complete hero. Long may he and his show continue.

[saintbub]

ron weaseley!!!

[killakerb]

Eargasm

[joskeeeee]

16 people are jealous of Thurston's eternal Youth

[foriamonlyahorse11]

Bloody good band!!

[coolhomes2]

i hope they play this song thursday at the concert :DDDDD

[wirsindhelden0]

oh shit! last time i saw them, i forgot to ask them the location of the fountain of youth! and typing that just now, alerted me to the connection to their name...so it's official. they'll never get old and die. AWESOME!!

[brw0044]

@wirsindhelden0 the fountain of youth lies withing the soouuunndss

[pedromanuelmoreira10]

GODS!!

[Indiekubatorius]

Remember how they played this song in 1989 in Vilnius, then USSR...

[haiboriver]

i'm still shaking, swinging, trembling and crying as same as my teenage years back in 80's listening to this song again and again.

[11caulfield]

Lee is awesome.

[sirholes]

3:07 yay dude, I know too

[coolKYLEbeans]

Like this video for the dancing dude at 1:53

[znikacz]

Man dancing at 1:54 is funny.

[foppotee]

i have the same guitar strap as thurston. huzzah!

[insanechild888]

@foppotee score! )

[belisariusorb]

It's always 1988 when this song plays

[layneyfication]

Ctm , el tema BUENO ;D

[belisariusorb]

@layneyfication ¿sabes el grupo lo mueso de españa? un sonido parecido, fuerte

[layneyfication]

@belisariusorb wtf? no caché que me escribiste =s.

what did you mean? try to write it in english this time :D

[belisariusorb]

@layneyfication Just if you know a group called Lo Mueso who make a very similar sound, they're from Barcelona

[layneyfication]

@belisariusorb No, i didn't . but now that you tell me, can you give me any info/web site/myspace o anything about them?

:D thanks for the tip :)

[belisariusorb]

@layneyfication

myspace (dot) com/lomueso

Some nice tracks there

[biztec1]

3:06 "this guys are good..."

[jamesgiantpeaches]

They just keep getting better!

[HalfOfKyle]

the bass is almost bigger thatn Kim. (: 21 years now... wow.

[shoekstra1419]

Kim Gordon is such a respectable woman, and not to mention she's in one of the most influential and great bands of modern music

[haiboriver]

epic and anthem of my generation..feel like old timer revisited..

[therainysaturdays]

They are the last creative thing to happen to rock music in 40 years..... If Jimi Hendrix was alive today, this is what he would be in to...no doubt.

[karlssonlicious]

@therainysaturdays WORD!

Sonic Youth are awesome!

[benjaminrichardshoop]

allthough i'm british i cannot deny the sheer power attitude and general dirt coolness of sonic youth, i think dirty and goo are my fave albums but this is the best song

[TheAmped1]

i agree totally with henry69,i saw them way back on new years eve 1995 and still to this day im blown away by that performance,awesome

[osito060308]

the opening track to one of the best albums ever made "daydream nation" such a beutiful song

[SuperiorSwagon1]

jeez these guys look so old now...still sound great thoguh

[vivelavidarocka]

@SuperiorSwagon1 They don't like to inject botox ...:7)....And who cares how they look, but how they sound.

[Longetty]

Nice

[miragefoto]

Still sounds so good

[Ellasings7]

i love the way the music sounds. i love how they guitar sounds in this song. first song ive ever heard by sonic youth and impressed.

[xoMusicLIFExo]

Wow. Thurston looks old in this video.

Lol. Still great. LOVE YOU SONIC YOUTH!!!

[krunchbar10]

@xoMusicLIFExo he sounds old in this video lol

[jorghad6]

does anyone know how to tune your guitar to play this?

[Soniclife91]

@jorghad6 thurstons guitar is tuned to GABDEG and Lee is tuned GGDDGG

[ragnatoad]

Does anyone know if there's a real reason Thurston always uses that Tele copy for Teenage Riot?

[ZRN959]

@ragnatoad most likely cheap and probably sounds like the record.

[mulj0k]

tuning

[songandletter]

yeah it's tuning... thats why they bring so many guitars with them on tour... cause they are all tuned differently for different songs

[drawrings]

I would fancy it's because of the tuning. It's a crazy tuning; look it up.

[PersistenceMusic]

Saw them live last month, positively intense!

[Generlcapgun]

Sonic youth will be doing this into their 70s

[oroniladob]

sonic youth ever rlz!!!!

[sonicmoore]

The best band of alternative rock and noise ever!! Tnx a lot Sonic youth!!

[FQuezo]

3:07 "this kids've got the blues"

[w4rtct8oz]

3:07 cant believe!

[bettedd]

Spirit desire

[harddrugssociety]

love

[thunders5291]

nice version

[loudspeaker003]

now i see where siversun pickups gets it frim. increadible band man. :)

[TheKenney81]

QUALITY, UNIQUE, CLASS

[poughkeepsiejohn1]

Last year, I got the special edition of Sonic Youth's "Daydream Nation" and it reminded me what a terrific band Sonic Youth was. Watching this remidned me what a terrific band is still is. Older but still terrific.

[lukeashmoore]

its such a romantic performance, all slowed down a notch. it brings a tear to my eye. x peace x

[Kohntarkosz]

This is pretty cool. I didn't know they still played any of their old songs.
