Sonic Youth - Calming The Snake

[SquarePupilIndustr]

they drenched that in somatic feel. jthe live sets are so much more amazing than the studio albums

[SquarePupilIndustr]

shelley is still a mastermind

[cyyytr0n]

mhmmm that's .. somehow ... interesting ô_0

[butchcassidy609]

he has been playing the same thing for 15 years. if he played anything else, it'd get in the way of the guitar chaos. he's supplying a steady pulse. i think steve would even say he does that.

[BlackTeddies]

This song is kickass..

[FenderM16]

They all still have it.

[shoekstra1419]

jeeeeeezus I fucking love the sonic youth!!!!!!!!

[wadeva69]

They need to stop letting Kim sing. She's getting worse and worse. I LOVE Lee and Thurston but Shelley has been playing the same drumbeat for the past 15 years. These brilliant guitarists deserve better.

[Grauenstadt]

@wadeva69 Whatever, she's still got it and I think her voice has even matured some, and not every band has to have a Steve Novick or Tommy Lee or Bostaph to showboat as a drummer.

[Grauenstadt]

@wadeva69 Oh, crud, Novick is a guitarist! Oops!

[brw0044]

@wadeva69 ya ya. thanks for your opinion. but no thanks.

[OneInchMan95]

@wadeva69 Dude I totally agree with you on the shelley thing but you gotta recognize that his drumming is what makes sonic youth what it is and if he played with an open hihat or crashed a cymbal every 10 seconds it just wouln't be right

[7771Apostolis]

@wadeva69 you need to listen more carefully....Steve has brilliant sense of dynamics and his drum is full of meaning.

[maldoror16]

@wadeva69 "Shelley has been playing the same drumbeat for the past 15 years." it's totally wrong man! you better buy a new brain before post this kind of clever comment!.... plz, stop to try to heard this band

[XxEpicFailxX100]

gouvyrock what are you smokeing she was dude

[gouvyrock]

[amaraujo76]

awesome! what a gas got this song! ...so much that's enough to burn eternally...

[TheNutzerdame]

beautyful voice

[moeezS]

Kim still has it.

[SveinssonErlendur]

@moeezS yeaaaahhhhh

[smokebudda11]

she suxs at singing. this song as tight as it is and good as it sounds in this video is fucked up by her shitty singing.

[motherbrain86]

i love how how anit mainstream this song is like most if not all their stuff is, it is beast

[JuiCeBoX19]

@motherbrain86 that's what I said!

[laurapseveri]

fantastic! best song on the eternal, along with what we know

[Luisella1610]

straordinario... mi ricorda Made in USA

[ragnatoad]

It is so rare for 4 people to like everything about what they're doing together, and stick together for 30 years.

[Narckarella]

does "calming the snake" mean fapping?

[ryanfromjapan]

I think it is completely based on their "nevermind" song..If you synchronize them the intro gets really nice

[thechillcomesover]

This reminds me of SY from way back when Bad Moon Rising came out. I like it. Kim especially is standout here.

[Brovniv]

what is thurston using from 2:45 till the end??

[detommas]

maybe a screwdriver

[Fraik]

a file.

[her0indragon]

a bar of iron or some type of metal. its propably rigid though to make the scratching noise.

SY has been known to use strange objects to "attack" their guitars with including screwdrivers.

[hwonk80]

absolute best....nobody better than SY!

[abbagato]

Yes concur still BAD ASS!

[ercafone]

Sonic Youth...the soundtrack of my life

[frankhry1]

My favorite song on the new record. You guys are still so bad ass.
