[AustinHasADeathwish]

[uzzername007]

I still dont think I'll ever grasp the fact tat Thurston Moore is older than my dad... cuz he looks younger than I do haha

[bobbles30]

[NorwegianVolcano]

My band will try to cover this song. We will not come close - but we have always wanted to cover a Sonic Youth song, and it seems fitting.

[daniglue]

@NorwegianVolcano

who cares.

[superniggerjoefaggle]

@NorwegianVolcano i always dolphin ill never come close but ill try any way by murdering dolphins and sewing there body parts on to me to get their powers it seems fitting

[willybuitenwerf]

[tkirpaul]

Guitar Gods dont age..duh

[tingly7654321]

[diseaseyougetfromche]

[3third3eye3]

[beedox5]

2:05 to 2:12 Thurston transcends this time/space world.

[ideasRNRT]

no matter how much time passes. sonci youth will always be cooler than any music that's out at that current time

[HOLEintheSKY19]

He's 49 and looks 15

[HOLEintheSKY19]

he's 49 here what the fuck!!!!!!!!

[benciano]

2:06-2:11 I win. I didn't know it was a competition, i didn't even know what you base it on. But, i win.

[PinkZeppelin77]

2:00 Thurston reminds me a lot of johnny ramone

[pstrokeslibsarctic]

they're young forever.

[akiradave]

And old Steve shag on drums...although now podgey...looks about 16

[efforttowaste]

dude! thurston moore went back from the future to the past to relive the

no wave scene in new york again. He sent his teenage self to the future to play at the shows and take care of kim and coco, and he travels back and forth constantly. Which is why in some gigs thurston looks young and in others he doesnt!!.... orrr hes just a vampire...

[noho40]

damm I still want a piece of kim.. I love sonic youth!!

[bechovaandnirvana]

BECHOVA..NEW NIRVANA,OF,,BRAZIL..FUN,,FUN..­FUN..GRUNGE,,CHECKIN.IN YOUTUBE,,

[sleepysson]

Thurston Moore is a vampire.

[spoony0821]

Yeah, and he is throwing down!

[Dang1914]

Hey! has anyone else noticed that thurston looks abnormally youthful??

[simmad0wnn0w]

Thurston Moore is a fucking vampire and everyone is acting like they don't notice it like it's all cool and shit.

[sayspain]

@simmad0wnn0w Yeah, and his gonna be starring in the next twilight movie...

[skl059]

@simmad0wnn0w I know. Does the guy even age??

[KFTProjects]

indie kids!!!!!!

[TheAnalObsession]

Thurston Moore is a Teenager!

[gritHolandia]

i like 2:08

[WeaverDudeSkater]

Fuck me! Thurston fucking goes at it on the solo! What a beast. Age has not slowed that man down one bit. Also, he still looks like a teenager! Lucky bastard :P

[fiendfilms]

one of my favorite sonic youth songs ever,

Incredible song =)

[whales]

what? they keep o'rourke locked up for national television appearances?

[pedroeljuego]

@whales o'rourke left the band in 2005

[SauloNirvana]

Sonic Youth never get old

[dangeroftime]

Thurston and Kim look like highschool lovers

[IRORSTING]

what a song love it i play it ever day

[vuhonero]

el momento mas intenso alrededor de la mitad del video, lo maximo !

[vuhonero]

PUTA QUE BUENA PERFORMANCIA!!

[joeleof]

Holy shit!

So much energy and emotion.

Thank you for posting this, it it pretty special

[MrGrunger27]

Love song! defenetely!

[lui505]

ahuevo pinche rola bien vergas!!!

[sexyEmma4u]

Its only bands like SONIC YOUTH and EARTH CULTURE that really know how to kick ass!!

[LOOZR182]

Sonic Youth has been on Letterman like 5 times

[eoinluvsgrunge]

Totally diggin' Sonic Youth

[bstokes1975]

the new jolly green giant thurston moore

[grzesieksz]

top class shit

[zarnazurda]

the liryc is diferent , in the cd is said ohter thing or diferent way

[jakke90210]

is this like the only time kim has worn pants while performing? ahah

[johnw840]

Great song & Vid. Dont know what all the fuss is about over selling out. Sonic Youth & Radiohead are 2 of the best bands out there IMHO. No compromise!!

[23lFrench]

yeah man, they should totally have a tour together!

[johnw840]

Yeah, I would pay serious cash money to see them both live. If it were only possible, awesome thought.

[julosx]

@johnw840 It's something i did more than once over the past 5 years, believe me ;)

[matsheep1999]

@johnw840 you are right men

[Iivewire]

ha, i showed my girlfriend the video of them on letterman in '92 when they played 100% and then showed her this one and asked her to compare.

she was a tad weirded out haha

[ShackNastyVideos]

Thurston = prototype of Jonny Greenwood and Thom Yorke. later test showed that most people would not believe a man could have so much to offer to music, so they decided to split him into two. therefore, the main vein of Radiohead

[johnw840]

@ShackNastyVideos Yeah, very similar vibe but different, both excellent IMHO

[johnw840]

@johnw840 Yeah, not wrong mate. Love em both. Inspired by Thurston though. And Radiohead cover of Joy Division "Ceremony", better than the original & just downloaded some useful tab for it. Nice (Jazzclub). Great song as well.

[nefryl]

@johnw840 Radiohead's cover is not better than original, how dare you! ;)

[johnw840]

@nefryl Good comment mate, guess your a Joy Division fan as well. No worries, its all a matter of taste, as is all Art. Love Joy Division as well but just think the Radiohead cover was the "Dogs". Love John.

[nefryl]

@johnw840 To be perfectly honest I think that Radiohead's covers (of Ceremony and The Smith's The Headmaster Ritual) are really decent. But still, as for me, you can't beat the pure 80's atmosphere that JD/New Order (and lot of other awesome, underrated bands) created ;)  Love Igor.

[johnw840]

@nefryl Dont get me wrong, I loved all that early '80s vibe which is when I first heard Joy Division, Sonic Youth. Not taking anything away from it as used to be an avid John Peel listener, bless him. Just things and sounds evolve. The "better than" was a bit stupid I guess. Ta, John.

[nefryl]

@johnw840 Obviously, the sound evolve, and I simply can't fit into modern one :) There was (and still is) something in 80's (and early 90's) that cannot be desribed, but felt. As for me there is no such thing nowadays.

[johnw840]

@nefryl I think you are refering to the end of the "Golden Age" of music. I share that emotion. Welcome to the new Century where the hope and asperations from the '60 and on, have finally turned to dust. Along with Simon bloody Cowell, Lottery, XFactor & axing BBC Radio 6. There is still hope in the form of the Internet & You Tube thank F***.

[tylenol2k7]

@johnw840 Radiohead is an amazing band, and they did an great job on that cover, but i disagree, the original was (imo) far better.

[hersheykiss266]

awsomee guitaringg

[76sagi]

Do you think Thurston Moore ever watched the show "Peter and Pete" and thought that he looked just like Pete?

[bastianuchiha]

strange cords

[HabisY]

It's not the chords, but the tuning.

[Sabbath104]

This is the kind of music I've always wanted to write.

[ccraines]

i would die for them

[BearSeatown]

Makes me wanna start a band

[christsbitch]

I'm gonna say something really stupid soon.

[greencalx]

I love how tight their riffs are. Amazing song.

[sammyg832]

Such a wonderful song. One of Sonic Youth's best!

[EnterTheMold]

god I would trade a leg for that Thurston's jag!

[JarobinsRadio]

how do they get that damped sound!!

[Rocksmarauder45]

good song good band one cigarrette

[darkshiningstar3]

damn thurston will never get old

[EnterTheMold]

Sonic Youth = young @ heart

[slamirez86]

@darkshiningstar3 Sonic Youth indeed

[esteban57764]

@darkshiningstar3 gods have a tendency of doing that....

[TheH725]

this is fucking true. He looks like 20

[danielibertine]

@darkshiningstar3 i hope :p

[maydecember513]

@darkshiningstar3 Thurston? LEE will never get old!

[deftonespg]

@maydecember513 SONIC "YOUTH" will never get old!

[pollywolly67]

i love this song

i love sonic youth<3

[snowgod37]

Sonic old... but classic.

[jeffreyserna]

2:00-2:12 is badasssss

[supermanJOEL2]

is that a 62 model thurston is using???

[PantheonLincoln]

It's a real old jazzmaster, from 1964, I believe. Not a reissue.

[noellayne]

everyone has aged except Thurston

[raulnl96]

enternal life i geust ?

[FriendlyWords]

I wonder what it is that makes them keep together, so long :)

[Grunge00125]

from interviews and stuff, it seems as if Thurston and Lee get along quite well. Kim and Thurston are married. and the drummer never speaks lol. Sothat's probably why. plus they are very mature compared to most bands. Although there have been times when they've all wanted to stop making music(especially in the mid 90s) they obviously love doing it(they're already writing songs for their next album)

[LittleMissGrunge]

Thruston reminds me of ron wealsey out of harry potter for some reason. lmao

sonic youth <3

[BADRANG23]

holy shit it sounds just as awesome live!!

by the way....they seriously had to shorten the length of the song just because of this performance????!!!! WTF

[soaddict228]

I wish they weren't trying so hard to look 20 years younger than they are. They should be proud of how long they've been doing this for

[cliffsbeard]

yeah. Volvo station wagon drivin', suburbanites. Wear some dockers or some shit.

[CheckeredDemon310]

@soaddict228

It's Sonic Youth, I don't think they give a shit how old or young they look. I don't think they are proud of how long they have been doing this, I would think they are happy they've been able to get away with it for this long.

[DanBL0N00]

My friend told me today that he think's Eddie Vedder has a better voice than Thurston. That was proabably one of the stupidest things I've heard him say in quite a while.

[MarlboroShinobi]

when i mean drink, i mean a potion of immortality

[MarlboroShinobi]

thurston has never aged. did he like...drink something? Him and kim man..they dont age.

[Capnbukowski1]

Thurston is such a sexy, talented...tall 50 year old dude

[ano1ridesthe19]

One of the greatest bands of all time....... Pure unpolished talent.... thank god they came before the oblivious era........

[ChumpJoe]

God I hate YouTube comments...

oh shit i am one.

[Peeze16]

can they still really call themselves sonic "youth"?

[razorbladethorax]

They can call themselves what ever they want.

[MrChents]

@Peeze16 you don't have to be young to be youthful

[nooneisusingthisname]

it's such a beautiful song

[linoleum665]

sonic youth has been together since 1980... i'm surprised you hadn't heard of them either haha.

[Amnesiacmidnitetoker]

wow this is the first song i hear from them im impress why didnt i notice them before. oh yeah i void cut tv for the past 15 year or so maybe longer . just computer only lol i just hate commercial and there never anything good on tv ..cable is over rated now the computer you can find anything man!!lol for free mostly i mean youtube is way better then fucking tv with bad news about everything the world is in chaos.fuck the news lol all it does bring us down.I'M not saying to ignore world lol

[agamedes]

brilliant!!

[m4ruchi]

MUITO BOM, VIDEO 100%  \0/

[xmasonmars2]

Since Kim is 56 will she be considerd a GMILF or MILF

[redsox1024]

just cos she's 56 doesnt mean she's bad tho

i mean...i know the bassist from my bloody valentine

and she's still awesome

[GEOpz838]

since shes not a grandma take a guess

[theboxxxx138]

dam kim looks hot!!!!!

[mpoulampaki]

my favourite...

[lahamttt123]

Not a big fan of Sonic youth but their guitar sound is genuinely unique, much respect.

[patrickj25]

that was a rather ripping performance, souded super good

[TelepathicSurgery]

yes! steve rocks, he's the unsung hero of SY... great performance, they remain amazing

[grepakar]

He`s bin with SY for over 20yrs. Thats impressive.

[njacd]

Great song.

Lee is rocking the awesome flannel.

Thurston always looks young.

Kim is looking fine as always.

[dingaling24]

amazing. thurston is in his late 50s or early 60s, and he looks like he's 17.

[Donutsmasher1]

hes exactly 50

[dingaling24]

[Donutsmasher1]

[TIMPA921209]

[freshacconci]

[BirsaGomorraBeach]

[nigelcollinmartinez]

Such a perfect band, such a perfect song.

[dummy1977]

goddamn this is a good song

[madeku]

sucks how they cut the song short for tv.. ah well

[Nick0L]

They're opening on the next Dragonforce tour?

[tr1ckydr1v3r]

Aah, Sonic YOuth. Glad this track is in GH5, should be fun for vocalists and bassists. Would've preferred Teen Age Riot, but hey, that's what i have RB2 for :).

[ragnatoad]

You have no idea how totally geeky that comment sounds.

[tr1ckydr1v3r]

I do see how geeky that sounds and i couldn't give two shits.

[ragnatoad]

Apparently, you gave enough shit to react to my comment. :D

[tr1ckydr1v3r]

Apparently you thought it was geeky. You wrote the first reply, you should expect a reply.

[ragnatoad]

This could go on for hours.

I think I like you.

[tr1ckydr1v3r]

ok.

*heads back to watch video*

[nigelcollinmartinez]

I want a girl bassist in my band .. .

[checkerdshoes21]

ha yeah me too!

[Heycamilita96]

Yeeahh (L)

[fiercedudeman12]

Sonic Youth is only for people who knows about good music.

Amazing performance.

[blllllllllleugh]

that's the very reason they have such a big fan base... lots of stupid people think 'i should like this band because it means i know alot about good music'... it's like the emperor's new clothes ... not saying they aren't good just there are alot of people who only like them because of their cult status

[sante0]

you're so lame dude!!!

[RichieBoi]

your mums lame :D

Sonic Youth are fuckin' pioneers of alternative music bellend! good day :D woop woop

[conbonz666]

Too bad The Eternal blows, they had a great 28 year streak

[NovaStraCe]

his downstroke picking is pretty impressive!

"rather ripped" is one of the best records from Sonic Youth, for me! hope for others too!

[fjeljep]

This music has so much fakin power in it!! its so dynamic!!! i must go and see them live!!

[benbie]

orgasminc especiually guitar

[richieramone1]

luv this FUKEN SONG!

[Mff21]

i really like how there's no established lead and rhythm guitarist, it's as if they're playing dual-leads, forming like a double helix

[Mff21]

their name goes well with their image, it looks like none of them aged (especially thurston), and they don't act old on stage

[SunshineMorrison2009]

GReeeeeeeeeeat

love this song(L)

SOniC Youth Go!

[TheFifteenthStep]

Thurston Moore will look like a teenager forever...

[patrickj25]

Thurston Moore is 50 years old...he looks 25 here

[Malverde888]

he does
