I love their music, a lot of it has a "movie soundtrack" quality to it... or at least I look at a few movies and think, "this song would go in great here" or whatever. What can I say, in the late 80s early 90s there was not much else I liked listening to. They would get played weekly on CHOMs "New Music Foundation" in Montreal, and I soon became a huge fan. Terribly underrated band, but wow they actually play their own instruments AND write their own songs. In that era how often did that happen
They just stand there in one spot, and do some of the greatest rock performances ever. No cares about image, or whether people will ever buy their stuff. That's why I love them.
@pigeonhammer i agree with what ya say man but i think of this when ever i listen to their music. no one and i mean no one sounds like these guys.. only 1 song by l7 reminds me of them but they are the definition of unique in my opinion =)
Great camera work! I love how you can see what Joey is playing.
They're all perfect
I'm so happy I found this band, they've been my soundtrack at university for two years, They're all so tight at their instruments. I'm blown away by every song.
i think it fits well when played with the other 2 songs after it on the Bossanova album(Ana and All over the world)...try it.. it should make better sense then ..
yeah idk its just a wierd guitar part i think, it doesnt suck or anything, just different, and nothing wrong with that, it just doesnt appeal to me that much

Whatever Kurt Cobain played or not, we are commenting on a Pixies video here, and what Charles is playing in it looks more like a Mustang. From what I wrote already, compare the bridge positioning. Peace.
I was wrong, sorry it is a Mustang. I was mereley stating your original statement that the Mustang was Cobain's favorite guitar was wrong! So now we are both wrong!!!
The "original statement" was by 65Cody, not me, and 65Cody was not wrong - Cobain played both Jaguars and Mustangs (hence his signature Jagstang), and Cobain has been quoted saying that Mustangs were his favourite.
Timless! yeah surfer rosa/comon pilgrim is also my favourite. Even the much maligned Trompe le monde is better than most of the garbage released these days! I my opinion the greatest band ever.
ahhh..I wish i could find me one. I want one real bad so I made myself a Pixies shirt and pretty much everyone thought I was stupid er something. kinda funny tho...
Come on dude that's disgusting. Way to make yourself look like a creton. but hey, your comment got +3 I guess youtube is filled w/ a bunch of stupid perverts so i must be alone on this one. ahh,.. shit.
