[Osthropek]

[ForgetTheCow2]

I want Kim Gordon to take off her under clothes

[TheCousin666]

'The World Looks Red' totally rocks... KILL YOUR IDOLS!!!

[wwxoxww]

useless kim

[zedrein18]

Two bassists...neat.

[Chuckjagermeister]

Do they still have that target-bastard speaker? I wonder what its official name is.

[robinstigator]

the original speaker painted with jasper jophns target was stolen. they got another

[09prizefighter09]

FUCK YEAH DAMAGE !!!!!!!

[BuryFosse]

No, Kim Gordon stopped playing Bass a while ago, decided guitar was more interesting, they hired their session bassist i think

[DouchebagFrog]

No, she still plays bass (mostly) and is playing bass in the video. It's a Gibson EB-3 (SG) Bass she's playing. They've been using two bassist, (Kim and Mark Ibold) since Rather Ripped I believe (although not on the record itself). Kim mostly played guitar on Washing Machine and a few other songs in that epoch.

[iagobroxado]

EB-1 Bass.

[optras]

saw them in Philly last summer. It was just the four of them and Kim was definitely playing bass.

[BuryFosse]

Ah that's cool, can't blame her for wanting to experiment with a different instrument

[McGuinty1]

That "session bassist" happens to be Mark Ibold from Pavement. He toured with them for quite a while, not sure if he's doing it anymore.

[musmetzevenpoten]

He joined the band not so long ago.

[McGuinty1]

Yeah, but he's been touring on and off with them since early 2006. However, I didn't know that he's actually a full-time member of the band now, thanks for the info. Hopefully he'll be able to take a sabbatical for the inevitable Pavement reunion in a few years...

[Grunge00125]

no, kim gordan definitely still plays bass. i just saw sonic youth live a few days ago. she still plays bass its just that they have an extra touring guitarist and when they dont need three guitarists(like when they play their older songs) she just sings and like dances around. But on their albums and usually live she plays bass.

[liljcmdy]

They had a concert in KC last night that I went to. She played both bass and guitar. I was actually surprised how much she played! But the concert kicked ASS! They did two encores!

[Dadanidanielel4]

there are two bass players??

[Xx666DeAd666xX]

when was this?

[External12]

August 11th 2006 i'm pretty sure. Still got the stub, but I seen a few shows of theirs at the pool.

[mwright165]

holy fucking shit this is so fucking good!

[xis10ial]

steve is doing an excellent bob bert imitation

[NigerianSeafood]

EEEEEEXXXPRESSSWAAAAAYYYY!!!! lol

[hamdigidy]

[molleste]

[eeelectricboogaloo]

[scarface5463]

[NigerianSeafood]

Somehow this reminds me a lot to the butthole surfers

[Darkantasia]

THE SONG IT'S CALL THE WORLD LOOKS RED

[rebeccamykitten]

whats the name if this song? i don't recognise it and i couldnt make him out ;/

[merdufer]

thought it was lee's song the whole time?

[sozialpsycho]

not very familiar?? man, that's live! it's not a clone, it's not a fake, this shit's fuckin' LIVE, man!!!

[buendia87]

haha, 1991 flashback

[kozmikoblivion]

That was completely different from the record, I still fuckin love it, but it wasn't very familiar

[christfersmart1]

Wow. Sonic Youth, finally playing their best song again. Too slow though! Hehehe

I hope they start doing I dont want to push it and kill yr idols

[koreaattack]

I love every second of it; so great. This is just another example why i love sonic youth

[jaumegp]

I think the bassist is former Pavement's

[TheHammered]

I think the new versions of Shaking Hell and World Looks Red are better than the old ones. Unfortunately, I missed the part of the tour when they started doing World Looks Red, but I hope they'll keep bringing some older songs back like this. I'm still hoping to see Brother James eventually as well.

[07BSPtC]

Man I miss their no wave leanings. I am in the process of forming a band that will try to do to pop music what bands like Sonic Youth and the Residents attempted. This is awesome.

[myrage14]

yeah...

[orgchis]

pretty apocalyptic, huh?

[SYRFox]

Mark Ibold, I bet... One of my favorite Sonic Youth song

[0Grist0]

whos that bassist?

[Presence77]

I miss stuff like this....

[jzzpnk]
