Pixies - Nimrod's Son - 1986

[svasvasva]

i was a month old. seen em three times since. seeing black francis on the 22nd at the brighton music hall. can't wait.

[gomilev]

these guys were just kids! and still so awesome

[borowczyk76]

On that day, while the Pixies were playing this song on stage, I was 9 years old and trickortreating as a giant panda bear in a dress and a bow on his head.

[IANCURTIS99able]

NO MAMES ESTE WE STABA FLACO

[scarletovergods]

seems like black is holding himself back with those screems.. apparently he had to gain some weight to gain some confidence. That's how the real alternative works!

[adabuensuceso]

its funny to see francis afraid about people who didnt care if they were playing... and now averybodywants to see hthem play alive ... cute

[Darknads]

[YnoTtfg]

WHY WAS I BORN IN 91???

[proffesorcaresser]

Wow this was recorded on my birthday when i was 14..... no wonder i became such a huge fan!!!

[godanddevilareone]

I don't believe these are the original Pixies. But the video is very well done. :-)

[proffesorcaresser]

@godanddevilareone ......oh yeah.......it's them alright!!

[Flipper79able]

@godanddevilareone What do you mean you don't think these are the original Pixies? I know they look young but trust me it's them. I grew up in Boston and remember them this way. Get your eyes checked.....either that or get your brain checked.

[thenormish]

Wow amazing. Look at the shows from 88 and in two short years Frank/Black had become a huge fat ass.

[69ParadiseLost]

Nimrod was my grand father ,,

[Djarra]

Charles is skinny, Joey looks about 12 and Kim looks sexy

[wartravs22]

Naw, I think the Pixies chunkiness is one of their most endearing qualities.

[tobarstep]

I had this on cassette tape...

[rupertducker]

aw how cute they were ! lot thinner + all !

[skeeno666]

Absolutely fuckin classic!!

[TheBizzle1978]

is it just me or did it look like a few times frank was taking bumps

[hensly77]

@TheBizzle1978 yeah I think its just you man not unless he has some heroine dispenser built in to his finger

[TheBizzle1978]

@hensly77 what is he doing at 0:55 and 1:57 then

[BoomBoxJakey]

i was something like 8 months old during the recording of this video

[sh1monn]

@BoomBoxJakey

i was born 16 days later ;D

[MajorHalman]

I love the way there is a silence after is says "You are a son of a motherfucker".

[cardigansarecool]

"you are the son of a motherfucker"

[yomomsboyfriend]

Kill yourself Andy...

[zaid231]

It seems like a fair question, I can see some similarities.

[ChotK]

@zaid231 violent femmes were situational pixies are revolutional

[boogiemangabe]

franks twice the man he used to be

[Sandwichesaregood418]

ooooh, mean.

[rygrystaldrigrist]

[MrSloika]

Nowadays both Frank and Kim look like the blobs that ate alt rock.

[meadish]

Fat is the new Black.

[thedigitalcollective]

[METHOS109]

Is this from TT the Bears in Cambridge, Ma?

Saw many shows there but unfortunatly not this one!! Just saw them at the Wang center saturday night. Great show. Pixies RULE!!

[Sandwichesaregood418]

I was SO PISSED they didn't record the Boston shows! :(

[FeastFamine]

the riff sounds like motorhead at times.

[Arkhigoul]

[ToastIsLife]

[HIPandiDONTmeanHOP]

[bacchaeD]

[moondog006]

this song reminds me a lot of the violent femmes

but the pixies are a billion times better

[lpdkburjsmx]

i get them confused sometimes too..... and agree the violent femmes are a result of an incestuous union

[jjamo5]

[Tonelimefizk]

[Faceboy89]

This is an amazing find! I'm probably gonna have to watch this like everyday now, LOL!

[ZeDollyDots]

[mortauxcons]

C'est le gros Black ça ? pas possible ...

[julosx]

Il a fini par ressembler à un Culbuto avec une guitare, lol.

[lukeashmoore]

[calsonicSTi]

[lukeashmoore]

well TBH Francis is the coolest fat guy in the WORLD!

[SlainON2nd]

hollllly shit. fucking gods...and godess lol

[xjuno11]

i love the fact that they were writing this music when 80's rock was in and they were secretly paving the way for the 90's. thx ignoring the mainstream : )

[benbook]

wowowowowow!!! I'm so upset that I wasn't alive when they were in their peak! I would of loved to see them... Such a great band!

[michaeljomitchell]

when did they start performing? this footage

seems like they were fresh on the circuit.

damn they sounded so tight.

[catormis]

T.T Bear´s. October 31, 1986. Cambridge, Massachusetts

[rcknbkr403]

I was at this show! Muthafucka!

[imaasslivewithit]

me too, i was born the year they broke up.

[natrat888]

wow joey doesnt look like he does today

[ragozhin]

you are the son of a motherfucker!

[willtaylorman]

Yeah hes quite big now, if you watch the where is my mind video with placebo he looks like kyle gas from tenacious d :P x

[ham3321]

The joke has come upon me.

[biodumb]

haha, so black francis once was skinny!...don´t get me wrong, they´re great

[PercyBeanProductions]

hahaha lol! yeah... fame can have that effect on people....

[wolverine4545454545]

its not fame he just got old

[Contaminatedd]

lol, have another look, he was still a tad chubby back then :P

I think he started to put on wieght around this time.

[megsolo68]

I am so sick and tired of reading comments on FBs weight. The Pixies are one of the most influential bands of the last 20 years, and we're sposed to care how much Frank Black weighs?

[ofmontreal88]

sure, its pointless, but why do you care?

no one is saying their music sucks

[lukeashmoore]

well TBH Francis is the coolest fat guy in the WORLD!

[Cryptomnesiia]

he might even be the coolest GUY in the world.

[dickideal]

great video.

[Jesus4loves4me]

you are the son of incestious union

[coblivion]

isnt it funny how the f ace destroys itself over time.. kinda beautiful too though

[LazyTriangle]

I've never seen them this young and skinny before, too bad they didn't show Kim though

[bogoio]

charles was skinny uahuahuahuahuah

[bezcan88]

oh bury me, far away pleaseee bury meeeee

[Cruentus1]

Charles is unrecognizable. I can hardly believe it's the same person.

[Reint25]

Wow, this is really a great song.

[govtqueso]

THE JOKE HAS COME UPONNNNNNNNN ME

[Gablo51]

whoever and davecata are sons of a mother fucker lol

[dreamlucid07]

You are the son of a motherfucker.

[iohannfus]

[JoeLeslie70]

[lexxluthor]

[whoever330]
