Sonic Youth - 11/08/85 Brighton England Interview

[StraightPunkEdge93]

We sound like Bad Company :)

[shannonccw]

Thurston's shirt is hideous. 

[rw5791]

it was the dawning of the shoegazer.

[thedayitriedtodie]

Brighton is fuking awsome!!

[znikacz]

What word that would be, like hard core or industrial? Those words are so lame next to rock.

[PLin2006]

Thurston is 27 in this video too

[PLin2006]

[motherbrain86]

[jdh8403]

"those words are lame next to rock."

[Clubplayer69]

i was there! that's me in the background asking people to 'be quiet please'.

[germanroots]

Lee(thinking): I must search pockets for that thing so nobody notices i'm stoned.

Wait,what am I looking for?

Nevermind,I'll sit down and play with ....this thing

[SignalBars]

[SEANDI777]

[wontgetfooledagain1]

lol @ Lee with that horn thing at the end. These guys are amazing. ;-D

[CaseyDFloyd]

I can definately see Sonic Youth's and MBV's influences on each other. They both rule.

[YHAVR]

Then check out the Gordons and Bailter Space right now!

[rayolacer]

probably nothing to do with this vid, but i jst wonder waht sonic youth thought of mbv or if there were any links or summet...

[tumbacasa]

lee is stoned inmaculate

[myammonia]

no no you' re wrong. steve is bill gates!!!

[Disappearer88]

Sonicchout you are THE GREATEST!!!!

[skillisme]

As a Brightonian I feel ashamed that one of the world's greatest bands should come to my town and face such pitiful questions. Sonic Youth sound 60s? A few bands in the 60s experimented with discordance a little bit, but that was hardly the sound of the 60s. Maybe if SY used hammond organs and sitars it would almost be a sensible question.

[aubreylear]

One band in particular that's relatively obscure is Michael Yonkers Band...they recorded an album (Microminiature Love) in 1968 that was never released until recently that eerily foreshadows post punk and especially sonic youth's use of tuning.

I think they have a website, it's definitely worth checking out for any fan of punk history

[HelterSkelter085]

awesome rare stuff!

[cookingwithmonkey]

hahaha

ROCK!!!!!!

[Gumbyrearygood]

Chout comes through again.

[znikacz]

Lee Ranaldo is my GOD! :D
