frank black interview & solo performance

[ARunnerNamedClay]

I think this man is one of the few famous people that will make me truly be sad the day he passes. Along with Jackie Chan, David Bowie , and my mother and father.

[elephantstone222]

hes just like a little kid

[renues]

is he gay?

[subject626]

I consider this wave of mutilation at its most beautiful!

[katkal3]

i love this dude's voice! And his songs are amazing!

[machbaby]

Anyone know the chords to this song? The tabs on net don't look like the way he's playing it here. Looks like all barre chords.

[MrGeorgesProfonde]

@machbaby

Go on the website "azchords" and search for Pixies, you will find the right chords for this song.And it's easy to play!

[peterfitz64399]

Does anyone know if the guy who flashes up at the end is Tony Wilson?? Looks a lot like him.

[Sarusource]

@peterfitz64399 Yip. That's him 100%.

[TheOuroborosWyrm]

Fantastic! Frank is so weird, and so wonderful! Thanks!

[NinetiesYouth]

Happy birthday Black. You're just a self-actualized version of me. Otherwise, we're the same person.

[Josh9000series]

Chuck took his solo performances more seriously and his acoustic strumming was just so brilliant.

[hokieguy95]

You know what amazes me about Frank and the Pixies in general. They just don't look like rock stars.  Amazing that such an influencial bunch look absolutely nothing like what we percieve legends to look like. Great!!!

[DarkSunshineRain]

Exactly! They don't look like rock stars. They are so much more than dumb rock stars. I saw a performance of them and Black Francis was wearing a raggy old t shirt and they just were wearing normal clothes. Normal attitudes not douche attitudes thinking they are great shit. Even though they are. And how many influential bands have a female in them? Very few, almost none.

[nickdastardly]

GREAT performance, almost as amazing as seeing him live.

[Brouf7]

do you intend on paying him back? Absolutely not hes my father

hahah

[wwgt]

WOW !!

I would love to hear him do ..where is my mind

this raw & out of the box...

what a great batch of tunes this man has

[slovan]

He's so cute.

[NinetiesYouth]

Anyone have any idea what kind of acoustic he's playing?

[Ilikebeer6000]

Legendary.

[mws2]

i wonder if he knew how epic this song would become.

[Atilation]

awesome

[OhClaire714]

You'd never expect all that manic screaming about whores and death to come from someone so darned cheek-pinching adorable. Charles, I love you.

[MeahZilla]

I can't stand him. : ) But his music is great.

[Shadowplaying]

Why can't you stand him?

[Sandwichesaregood418]

Because he's too Sexaaaaaayyy!

[Crackerdamus101]

he's just jealous... :)

[princeofpwnage22]

so awesome

hes actually sounds nervous

[thenthepixiesare8]

his kinda social awkwardness makes him even cooler. Plus he has the balls to make areoplane noises for the lead guitar.

True original...

[etherealreaper]

Today my friend said the word "crab", and wave of mutilation popped into my head instantly "walked the sand, with the crustaceans". Amazing video of an amazing man.

[masi20072007]

[explosionsfrommybutt]

[trugritt]

[chaveton85]

he is a fucking hero...

[joestumpypeeps]

love that man.

[jonletter]

this guy is awesome

[algo01]

FYI, for every apperance before 1993, "frank black" should be referred to as "black francis". I just love that name....

[Ramagamma]

I don't so much think the reporter is laughing at Frank as she is astonished that his father would let basically give him £1000 to start a band.

[AmericanLeather]

Singing the other guitar parts. His humor always presents him as one of the last people in the music industry who isn't a total dick. Frank's rad.

[whoever330]

reporter is a dickhead

[towelie21]

whoo pixies

[eurythmech]

This is one of the greatest clips ever. I love youtube!

"No! Absolutely not, he's my father" :)

[jerkmanthebold]

My hero...

[loverich]

lol!:D

who's that laughing at him for borrowing money from his father? sound like she's making fun of him.

love how he sings the guitar intro.:P what a psycho! gotta love him!:D
