Sonic Youth - The Empty Page

[DudeTheXFilesRules]

Got to love the comments (not just here but every other VEVO video) that complain about VEVO, yet they'll continue supporting by watching the videos.

[SANGROHL77]

HAHAHAH, I AM NOT BECK.

[pizzafacejones]

boring

[BlueTriangleSphere]

To anyone who complains about vevo - get AdBlock Plus for your browser... then it's just the same as watching any other video, no ads

[futurfry]

I got here from Beck lol

[ZeldaFoxEars]

@futurfry A little ironic..

[KurtCobainAberdeen]

Amazing...

[Pulp93Fiction]

IT"S BECK!!!!! 

[NirvanaNerd364]

Classic Beck song

[Justeatmytoast]

Amazing song.

[kingcroak]

FUCK YOU VEVO! STOP BRINGING US HIGH QUALITY VIDEOS OF THE MUSICIANS WE WANT AND LOVE, IMPARTIAL TO TASTE.

[ccsdna]

Top comment of everybody: "He's Not Beck"

[lavitroladeldiablo]

Of course you,re not Beck, Beck is the one besides you whos dancing with a dress...XD

[AlvaroxxxShoegaze]

Jajajajaaja

Yo no soy Beck....!

jajajaja

[ThisreallyIsBullshit]

i am not beck

[almostgary]

hipster music?

[Drope182]

@almostgary probably you're fucking retarded how can you call sonic youth that new shit? you're just as stupid like these idiot hipsters

[almostgary]

@Drope182 calm down sir i just wanted a nice calm answer sorry if i hurt your feelings

[dropbows90]

@Drope182 Hipsters have been around for years, not just in the last 5 years where everyone loves to think they know what a hipster is.

[HippieSkankin]

@dropbows90 technically the hippies were hipsters? and in essence the hippies were cool as fuck, but all the cool ones killed themselves such that all we were left with were brain dead fucking tools...quite similar what we have now, to the point that skrillex was nominated for a grammy?

[ghettocherubss]

@almostgary You're an idiot. Hipster music? Do your homework.

[CorneliusDawser]

@almostgary I'd simply say that I don't know. My friends consider me an hipster, excluding the fact that I'm a nice person (that's what they say, I don't pretend) and Sonic Youth is one of my favorite band, so I guess it might be for some. For me, it's just good music.

[gonchienelmundo]

did I say FUCK VEVO here?

viva sonic youth!!

[goofyskid1]

sonic youth is not looking for salvation.

[nbleau]

4 people thought he was Beck.

[420choky]

@nbleau i bet he hates that

[thnikker]

I don't get what's so shitty about vevo. Will someone please enlighten me?

[KarlyMMEEHH]

@thnikker Vevo supports shitty comercialized artists like Justin Beiber and sonic youth is better than all the shit that vevo has categorized it as. fuck vevo. i wish it would go drink some fucking bleach and die.

[thnikker]

@KarlyMMEEHH Why does it matter who they support? They post high quality music videos. Isn't that all that matters?

[chaosligth]

@KarlyMMEEHH so what u say is vevo post music for everybody your just to ignorent to accept other people has other taste?

[TehSorso]

@thnikker They support all kinds of artists (including controversial ones like Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga) and they censor dirty words. Including hell :). While the first is an arguable fault (i don't really mind it), the second is a bit annoying.

[sonnyliverpool]

he looks like ron weasley

[Jirue7609]

Beck should come out on stage for these guys and pretend to be the singer ;)

[dass0137]

everyone hates vevo :)

[ofealonso]

he was shirtless. oh my god.

[SupaPepsi]

hahahahahahahah I am not Beck

[paulj0557]

OKAY THEN FUCK VEVO AND GET IT THE FUCK OUTA' HERE

[svetabozinovic04]

fuck the cloth. Music is good

[getthis162001]

hey vevo, i know you must pick up on the keywords so I am going capslock on your ass: FUCK YOU!! and please LEAVE YOUTUBE! 

[sonic4a]

Thurston Moore has a tattoo?

[vishano1234]

@sonic4a yes and it says "sonic life"

[hotfingersandwich]

This is weak. You know it, I know it. They're just going though the motions.

[hotfingersandwich]

Damn, this is weak. The days of "Evol" and "Bad Moon Rising" are long gone.

[darthkrueger]

@hotfingersandwich Oh grow up.

[hotfingersandwich]

@darthkrueger Nah.

[sonic4a]

@hotfingersandwich This song is great, "EVOL" , "Bad Moon Rising" and "Daydream Nation" are the best Sonic Youth Albums, but this song is one of the best they have done in this decade. And you know the Rock bands are disappearing, and this song proves that there are some legendary bands that still doing great Rock music.

[mohomoho1]

I love Television and Tom Verlaine

[flipsinparkour]

@lEricZhangl fuck the song, love vevo

[HeartYukitty]

@flipsinparkour What's wrong with you?????

[IzzyWonka]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA IM NOT BECK!

AWESOME! :D

[Plaguechild258]

Wht does everyoness problem with vevo?

[MsWhitestripes100]

@Plaguechild258 i guess because it's slow and because of the annoying ads

[koolguy1029]

love vevo but fuck the song! :P

[conall101]

People do realise Beck is producing the next Sonic youth album (not offically an album , a matador compilation) ? .....so you might aswell get used to him

[TeamEvoMedia]

Amazing song but fuck VEVO!

[VeeVeeVienna]

Stfu about sonic youth and Beck, I happen to love them both.

[machinator1978]

he looks just like beck lol

[rfcompte]

So THAT'S how you dance this 3:19

[theforbiddentape]

I love beck!

[luistownmassacre]

"I am not beck"

That makes two of us.

[TheJerkinGherkin]

It's weird how they can go from Kill Yr. Idols to this.

[slayer66616]

@TheJerkinGherkin

Yeah i know. At first it was incomprehensible shit that didn't make any sense and now that they learned to make sense they are boring as fuck. From bad to worse...

[mantra3000]

Sonic Youth are SO corporate it's hilarious. Mmm I'm going to skip them and listen to a proper band.

[JauriAragon]

Fuck VEVO , people who likes Sonic youth don't care about fucking Sears! and stupid refrigerator adds! get it? LOL

[noahpiano]

Fucking epic solo

[krazzyyo2]

buncha garbage..noise..no music..beck is better

[hildaatje]

Oh well.......seems we all get a bit older.

I miss the raw power.I think I lost them roundabout the time that the Carpenters hype came along.

I love The Carpenters,dont get me wrong,but I,m missing the Youth in the Sonic.

The Evol.

This is okay(dare I say;nice?),but doesnt exhillerate me,make me wanna headbang,forget everything.

Or.... whatever it was that Sonic Youth used to make me do.

[wendy1851]

Fucking underrated song =/

[JavierGueneau]

My favorite sonic youth albums

1.- Bad moon rising

2.- Murray street

3.- Confusion is sex

[Evaztlb]

Love that "Not Thurston Moore" comment. Have some Beck, but that is just too funny.

[foosonic]

I love sonic youth!!!

[placeboloverrrrz]

Oh Thurston is such a moron.

I love him.

I'm wondering how cool their daughter is gonna be when she's 16.

[Johnnyo743]

@placeboloverrrrz she is 16

[sharon879]

Timeless band.

[mmcdonald0822]

jim o'rourke is so awesome

[CanadianChronic2121]

Sonic Nurse was alot better than Murray Street though

[mmcdonald0822]

@CanadianChronic2121 and rather ripped was better than sonic nurse

[CanadianChronic2121]

nah

Sonic Nurse & Dirty are their 2 greatest albums

Rather Ripped is still really good though

[mmcdonald0822]

@CanadianChronic2121 you can't deny that daydream nation is their greatest, then sister, then rather ripped

[CanadianChronic2121]

Daydream Nation is my 9th favorite SY album ... lol ... its really over-rated.

For me it goes Sonic Nurse , then Dirty , then Washing Machine.

It all depends on who's your favorite singer , and for me it's Kim

[mmcdonald0822]

@CanadianChronic2121 but daydream nation has the best gordon song, the sprawl

[CanadianChronic2121]

nah , her best song's are " Shadow Of A Doubt " , " Dude Ranch Nurse " and " JC "

my favorite song off Daydream Nation isnt even a song , it's a voice message left on Thurston's answering machine , i always use it as the intro to my playlists

[mmcdonald0822]

@CanadianChronic2121 providence is your favorite song? come on man you have to be kidding, theres a difference between having an obscure taste in music and just disagreeing to be obscure

[CanadianChronic2121]

I'm not kidding

Daydream Nation just doesn't catch my attention like the rest of their albums.

Saying it's their best album is an insult to their work almost

[mmcdonald0822]

@CanadianChronic2121 dude its clearly a masterpiece, it has their best guitar work, their best song writing, and its the album that best describes their sound in its purest greatest form, I'm not saing its their only great album in my opinion they only have 3 albums that aren't great, but I guess you just have to really understand music and structure to appreciate it and I can see how an untrained ear might not fully appreciate it for all its worth

[CanadianChronic2121]

It's hard to really decide a favorite , every album has it's own groove , and it depends on what mood your in at the time.

I wouldn't say someone's has an untrained ear just because they don't favor the same album's that you do.. It was my favorite at one point or another.

[mmcdonald0822]

@CanadianChronic2121 no i'm not saying that someone who doesn't like it has an untrained ear I'm just saying that a trained ear can really appreciate what they do

[CanadianChronic2121]

My favorite thing about SY is Kim & Thurston's poetry.

That is why Daydream Nation isn't my favorite album ..

[MyVelvetValentine]

@mmcdonald0822 I can see Providence being a favorite song. It definitely ties for my favorite song on Daydream Nation. Something about it is delirious and surreal. For me it feels like I'm driving cross country on a foggy, rainy day, maybe in a David Lynch film.

[mmcdonald0822]

@MyVelvetValentine Its important to the album i admit that, but when you see sonic youth live you want them to play teen age riot or candle not providence

[mmcdonald0822]

@CanadianChronic2121 but it has some of their best lyrics

[CanadianChronic2121]

Its probably their most well crafted and creative album , But for some reason i like Dirty just a little bit better.

It's got really deep and groovy songs on that album. My favorite being " JC "

[CanadianChronic2121]

After listening to every album start to finish starting from Evol and finally ending with The Eternal . My top 3 are now.

#1 Dirty

#2 Daydream Nation

#3 Murray Street

[mmcdonald0822]

@CanadianChronic2121 ok thats a pretty good top 3 mine would probably be

#1 Daydream Nation

#2 Sister

#3 Rather Ripped

[cinesimonj]

Thurston doesn't have that 'sci-glare'...

[KinneyBikini]

Haha  I see the resemblance

[fiftysixwolves]

I want a "I am not Beck" tshirt!

[InspectriceGadget]

@fiftysixwolves I would love to have this too!

[shlomonew]

thi music cleans me

[datingrobots]

We loooveeee Sonic Youth!!!!!!

[verukk]

One of my dreams came true when I saw you play in 2009! Greetings from Chile.

[Grif6988]

Oh my God greatest T-shirt EVAR

[animal90sFreak5]

Wait....How come pretty much every band and singer I look up on youtube,has to be on Vevo,my gosh I hate it,but I still love this song,better to download now.

[rfcompte]

Beck should be wearing a T-Shirt that reads "I'm not Thurston Moore"

[estebb74]

@rfcompte good idea!!!

[Duraan84]

@rfcompte Brilliant! 

[stopaprika]

@rfcompte

Beck should be wearing a T-Shirt that reads "I am Thurston Moore"

[calvinisafatty]

you are so no beck

[GnarButter90]

If you are in to this band and this kind of sound, check out our band on our channel. Great song btw!

[charliewalls05]

LOL... I'm not Beck

[IEricZhangI]

Love the song, fuck Vevo.

[cheesemaster5]

What's wrong with Vevo?

[Horaciow14]

@cheesemaster5 Vevo is slow and it brings more commercials at the beginning of the video

[cheesemaster5]

Works great for me, I don't see the problem with it.

[shauno5166]

@IEricZhangI i'm not a fan of vevo either but it's a bit annoying that on every video i watch the top rated comments are either fuck vevo or fuck justin bieber

[PrisonBreakFilms]

@shauno5166 and i don't like that the other top comment is always someone critisizing the other top comment.

[shauno5166]

@PrisonBreakFilms Think I just found the next top comment. jk

Wasn't really criticizing, it just annoys me that anyone can type the same comment on a video that millions have other people have posted, and people will still give it thumbs up.

[evilguy0]

@IEricZhangI naw

[LalalalallaLana]

it is just impossible

I cant hate it

this is real music

[sunchild90]

what a video!
