SONIC YOUTH interview with NARDWUAR 1991 Part one

[23lFrench]

I didn't start the band, the band started me.

[deadbirdsings]

I like some of Sonic Youth's music, but they seem like really annoying people.

[PeachesAndSkeet]

This band is a collective a-hole.

[PieceofMindmusic]

Got any doobage man?

[jayslobb793]

God... What a bunch of lame ass motherfuckers.

[trotchky]

four intelligent humans defeat a thought-terminating cliche

[PeachesAndSkeet]

@trotchky intelligent? did you watch the second part?

[trotchky]

@PeachesAndSkeet i sure did!

[PeachesAndSkeet]

@trotchky hahah just makin' sure. it was funny as hell but i kinda felt bad for the interviewer! He usually does way better than this if u watch his vids lol.

[KentAllard]

I didn't start a band

the band started me

[Pishtaco22]

SONIC FUCKING!!! YOUTH!!!

[5100area]

these dudes remind me of OFWGKTA

[jsbrice]

The guy conducting the interview could be the most annoying, useless, disgusting, and downright awful pieces of shit I've ever heard.

[xPsuedo]

i love sonic youth, but they went through such an ego trip in the 90's.

[k77jones]

retarted.

never liked that band anyway.

[MegaLamka]

narduar is a unique effective interveiwer. Sonic Youth were assholes

[5100area]

bunch of tryhards. theyd probably be emo if they started out today

[pipinandivy]

@5100area your a douche

[5100area]

@pipinandivy go cry.

[Jellybeaner1991]

"GET A FUCKIN HOLD ON YOUR ROOTS MAN, THEN PULL EM UP AND SNIFF EM AND SMOKE EM" -Thurston Moore, 1991

[WillisProvidence]

i've always disliked narduar... and the evaporators... his enthusiasm makes me nauseous... sonic youth is the best, though...

[neighbornoise]

HAHAHHAHAHA This video is hilarious.

[hugo180skate]

who hates the guy talking WTF is up with him lol

[unfortunatebeam]

HAHA "jello shnorkling or normal shnorkling?" Lee is like speechless and expressionless...I don't know why people are hating on sonic youth here, I think their funny as fuck, and nardwuar too! i love when lee bends nard's 45 and nard gets all agitated about it LOL

[rvggarcon]

What did he say at 4:05? Flaming watussi?

[PieceofMindmusic]

have ya got any doobage man? Yeh, you guys got any bones?

XD

[Lemonsoda1234]

"there never really is a good time"

[PieceofMindmusic]

Kim's answers are very adorable ^_^

[JJDinomiteLives]

"I didn't start the band. The band started me."

Amazing.

[Iamcola65]

thurston is my aunt

omfg

[placeboloverrrrz]

"Who named the band?"

"Jesus"

Man is Thurston hillarious or what?

[josephscott80]

SY are one of my favourite bands but, as individuals, they are very, very rude to Nardwuar.

Similar to his interview with Nirvana, I think that SY, who you would expect to be supportive of 'nerdy' people, see him as weak and act like bullies.

[pot4tots]

@josephscott80 dude there just kidding man dont read into it so much

[iorispiegel]

sombody note the little parody at the 7:07???

[pot4tots]

@iorispiegel sorry im to stupid could you explain??

[iorispiegel]

WAIIT!!

ISNT THAT...OH for a moment i belive that was daniel johnston

[aweirdfish]

"What is spliff?"

"Have you got any?"

Ahahahaha!!

[MRTEED]

This is one of the best videos on youtube

[glowingliketheocean]

this is amazing. lee is such a shit, i love it. steve was kind of sexy.

[OpheliaMermaid]

LOL sonic youth rule

[sponsoredwalk1]

Do you know what 687???

Damn 90's jokes.

Do the Bartman!

[BearWindAppleyard]

wow how funny is the interviewer! He says the dumbest things, "are there any good sonic youth clone bands out there?" what ?

[BearWindAppleyard]

dumb comment, sorry. I didn't get it, that he's not actually "real".

[pekoe67]

3:05

should be

"Do you know why 6 is afraid of 7 ?"

Stupid, stupid Thurston Moore.

Idiot.

[BearWindAppleyard]

@pekoe67 bear with him, he's probably wasted or something.

[pekoe67]

Two women were walking, and one nudged the other and said "Isn't that your husband coming out of the forest ?"

The other said "Yes, and he's got two dozen roses. I'm going to have to keep my legs in the air for two days."

The first woman replied:

"Why don't you get a vase ?"

- Red Foxx

[NorbertPSV0000]

wow, that guy has the most annoying voice ever.

[moonmusic100]

wow wot a prick..what a wanker

[bandcouver]

FINALLY!!! I get to see the WHOLE segment with Sonic Youth.

[grzesieksz]

They were on shitty tour with Neil Young then. That tour was nearly a disaster according to the band themselves ,so that could have cause that they were hmm pissy or not much talkative

[windrix1]

Yo, they are playing Nardwuar so hard.

[porkpiepaul]

Naduwar is somewhat douchey..I guess you d have to be familiar with his schtick to be amused.. Sonic youth handles it well..So funny all of them...'Got any doobage man?' hahaahah from 8:00 on its great..

Kill.yr.idols.

[LittleMissBrianna]

Lee is such a delicious smart ass.

[jeffreyserna]

'wheres 5 at?' ...""next to six" lol

[desasterz]

i didnt start the band, the band started me

[AppleHankypants]

'do you have any of that acid I sold you?'

oh Thurston, you're so silly.

[FuckingStanz]

He sed "Do you have any of that acid I saw you taking earlier?"

[philsnk]

You're a bad influence. Sonic thurston Youth.

[bottlesandcans01]

LOL.. he brought up Daniel Johnston and they got all quiet. Sonic Youth is so awesome.

[MrWeekid]

Who the fuck is this nerd ? What's the use of antagonising a band that certainly never made use of the media for sales purposes but always kept away from stardom ? Or even the viewers ? Besides, of course, gaining attention for himself... Sure this asshole prepares his interviews in front of his fucking mirror just before jacking off on it... Poor guy : all thing's gotta be very depressive... Love how Thurston manages 2 remain flegmatic ("I didn"t start the band... it started me...").

[Bobjb999]

Nardwuar,an irritating,hyperactive, strange,screeching gay boy.Too bad I'm exposed to his presence as he lives in Vancouver like me.There's something wrong with him mentally,a grown up ADD kid?He dwells in his own parallel Nardwuar reality that is not quite connected to the same plane as the people he interviews dwell on!

Nardwuar is apparently incapable of having a normal conversation with anyone.Thurston & Lee later (deservedly) beat Nardwuar up!(see vid. "Nardwuar vs. Sonic Youth")!Nardtard.

[J0hnD031990]

i just watched it lol my respect for lee just went up ( dont need to mention moore cuz my respect for him goes w/o saying)

[kwakky]

nardwuar is great. sonic youth are obviously in their "just-signed-to-a-major-label-­too-cool-for-school" phase at this point and need to learn to laugh at themselves a little. i think you probably do too.

[sacredo07]

I think they think that they are artists or something....rubbish!

[ahbevegede]

wow what a bunch of dicks

[patrickj25]

he didnt even know who lee raldanado was

[cumdumpsterSF]

DEVO is the greatest punk bank ever.

[RobcsiMobcsi]

sinic youth is badass!!!:D

[tracksuitjim]

if i had to be interviewed by nardwuar i would also shit on him. maybe not so hard, but he seems like he's annoying as shit.

[thomasrix]

I honestly think he's the all time greatest interviewer ever,

A - he always does meticulous research.

B - he's so weird that he makes the bands react in a very natural way.

C - He never ever lets the band derail where he's going with his interview.

D - He MUST be cool because he interviewed all the coolest bands

E - He's so damned INTENSE!@!!!!!@!

QED

[tracksuitjim]

i never said he was bad, but everything about him is annoying.

[Coldacre]

F - he's an annoying American

G - he's so damned intense!

H - he shouldn't be allowed to speak

I - he so damned intense!!!

[4muldowneys]

"I didn't start the band, the band started me."

DO YOU KNOW WHY 6 ATE 7!!!!!!???

I love thurston haha

[genxdude1991]

On The Road

[mattisprettycool]

Haha Steve doesn't actually answer a single question.

[LittleMissBrianna]

"I didn't start the band, the band started me" hell yeah

[flipskater032]

sonic fucking youth yeahhh

[versuslosangeles83]

never liked this band, this just sealed the deal..

[pinballwizardben]

and you take nardwuar interviews seriously why?

[versuslosangeles83]

are you kidding me?

[pinballwizardben]

yes,of course I am.

[Verazze]

This interview is made up of lolwut

[modernworld88]

the interviewer is a fucking tool!

[mattisprettycool]

i like when Thurston says 'hi' at 0:34.

[RegularSean91]

i can't speak for everyone else, but lee is definitely high, hilarious.

[Nirvanaareawesome]

lol johny rotten, who?

sonic youth are so funny

[mattisprettycool]

Haha Steve at 4:30.

[Spark658]

what band is on that vinyl? I can't make it out, thanx

[WhiteKnight4171988]

the humor comes from Nardwaur knowing so much about the band he's interviewing along with pretty much anyone they've ever interacted with and he catches them off guard with really in depth questions on info that other interviewers or even fans don't know about. Also the annoying voice.

[g3og13]

That was the funniest interview i've seen in a while! Only a band like SY can pull such hilarious (and youthful) responses. The interviewer does have a rather annoying voice and he is a bit of an a-hole but that just makes it that much funnier to make fun of him hahaahhaha.

[fag0tron]

i think lee already has the doobage, mang.

[cactaceous]

I hate this Nardwuar idiot. So fucking annoying. He has an encyclopedic memory of music because nobody can bear hang out with him for more than 5 minutes and he has no friends so he stays at home, alone and does what he can to not kill himself. All of these bands that interview him are endlessly annoyed by him and would ignore him completely if it were not for the fact that they have to plug something.

[gizmo359c]

i cant believe nardwaur has been around for so long!!! and its fucking amazing that sonic youth have been around all this time!!!

[2009262]

the interviewer is not an asshole, he 's nardwaur! he does this shit with all kinds of bands, and it gives bands a chance to give humorous responses. nardwaur gets some of the best responses of of bands in my opinion

[125357]

Well at least we all learned something today that Jesus named sonic youth.

[iggypoprox]

ahhahahahahahaha he acts like hes jack keroac, "me and dean were on venice beach in 1947" AHHAHAA

[bozotosco]

hahahahahahahaha

[PeanutButterppl]

who's johnny rotten?

that guy, johnny rotten!!!

[MaturitySucks2008]

why are there always twats interviewing such a great band?

[SonicDominic]

Lee is free.

[janotosinnumeros]

this is very funny, the interviewer is an asshole, i love the way SY members are pulling the interviewer's leg all the time

[airnab]

this is so funny

[DREESEDINPINK]

my good this interviewer is a completley .....
