Sonic Youth - Nevermind

[egscha]

da kommt keine rock&roll band ran ....sie spielen einsam in ihrer liga und ... spielen ....ewig !

[amire80]

NYCG&F is such an underrated album.

[0KurzKurz0]

jazzmaster !!!

[fuckyacum]

@0KurzKurz0 there is not a single jazzmaster on stage



[0KurzKurz0]

@fuckyacum of course, because they're doing playback

[RubenVenturaa]

Banda magnifica .

[kamim6]

eeeeeektraaaaaaaa



[rockangel2212]

im 15, and i wish i was born in the 80's, beautifullll.

[jrjohnny667]

sonic youth`s superstar band of the world!

[porchdog1961]

A lot of weird shit happens when you stand in front of a big loud amp with a guitar on. Not many people have the guts or tenacity to do it long enough to learn how to make music out of it. I really admire these people.

[dotteddream75]

super hot feminist

[punkmom08]

he got Terrance or Philip on his guitar!!!!!!!!! LOL

way to go Kim and band! U are still one of my faves!

[setsugen2929]

most successful modern music

[BEATmyguest31]

ANYBODY WHO THINKS MUSIC THESE DAYS CAN EVEN HOLD A CANDLE TO THE BEATLES, LED ZEPPELIN, METALLICA, QUEEN, NIRVANA, ROLLING STONES, SUBLIME, CREEDENCE CLEARWATER, PINK FLOYD, AC DC, ZZ TOP I MEAN COME ON I CAN GO ALLLLLL DAY LONG, FUCKING BULLSHIT HOW MANY FOLLOW TRENDS THESE DAYZ ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY ITS SCARY!!!

[nickfarruggia]

@BEATmyguest31 This band's almost 35 years old.

[arcadestooge]

@BEATmyguest31 Glad you have become the cranky old shit your dad was. I'm 57and while a lot of the bands you listed were great in their day, that day is long gone. I listened to them, saw the shows, bought the albums (tapes, CD) but it got to a point where they didn't have much else to say. Newer bands (Arcade Fire, My Morning Jacket, Muse, Cold War Kids, Cloud Cult) move up to take their place. So you can live in the past and chant "you kids, get off my fuckin' lawn", but I'll see what's new.

[dangeralternativo]

 i love youuuuuuuuuuuuu

[fishonade]

post modernism is the way

[fender31]

Sonics with three guitars ... Definitely - Glenn Branca's legacy.

[moomiss]

is that kurt cobain?

[toothandtiger]

@moomiss yes;-)

[okmer333]

sucks



[javibishop]

the best!!!!!

[vberg2332]

Kraut ///CAN

[tHickman95]

I dunno if anyone else noticed this, but even though the drummer looks like a complete nonce, DAMN he's got rhythm!

[pcgneurotic2]

@tHickman95

He's the "No Star" from the album "Experimental, Jet-Set, Trash and No Star" - comic nick-names they gave themselves. :D

[KentAllard]

ASPECT RATIO

[Bitching4Blades]

Kim is so graceful and beautiful. Why aren't there more female musicians like her?

[GuitarCoverForMyself]

who is that person on the background?

[pancakethebunny14]

@GuitarCoverForMyself Jim O'Rourke, he played with them from 2000-2005

[ChristiaanEngelsma]

Always loved them and still do!

[Malin242]

sonic youth, fat edition

[FLoHipPieBerlin]

Yeah it sounds so good ... when do you wanna hear some Grunge from germany so listen to Drunken Hippies - Sad things... Peace & Love

[DGENERATE07]

camera lens makes the guitars look massive

[eastlake93]

2 of the most innovative guitars of the time.

[monaurallab]

cool

[dranfu]

Most bands today suck ass. Nothing but hairstyles and trite bullshit. Fake rockers. The essence of real rock and roll has been kept alive by indie bands.

[lolzerist]

O-O Does he have tits?

[MinuRx]

@lolzerist

yes, yes she does

[italianshirtwaist]

They are phat

[qwert4327able]

Even if there are good bands now they dont get the air time and publicity they would got a couple of decades ago. Sh*t like lady gaga steals all the air time and resources and money that should be going to good bands. This is why I dont accept it when people say bieber etc. should just be ignored.

[battle2n]

they look so fat on this one : P

[MrEvilFFF]

kim's voice is just seducting!! it sounds like a whore moaning to you...great kim "no more panty lies"!!!!

[MrEvilFFF]

one of the signature of them is that weird sound they produce... i listening to them ever since.. and until now i still wonderi'n what effects and destort their usin,... that eeree-weeirdy sound like from-outerspace and other dimension... its alien

[MrEvilFFF]

@Amelieful yea, but for yer' info... sonic youth are there ever since way back in the 80's and they are now new for sure, a little trivia is that they are one of the abstract music you can rarely buy...just like the masterpiece of picasso, try to listen to one of their album,its like listening to the other-side-dimension of alliens,

[krischa63]

waiting to make you pay killing that nature scene, thanks a lot Kimmie

[nerezzatube]

Kim looks like Bowie, if Bowie was a woman.

[gtralisfr69]

They all look fat. I love this song

[HentzDude]

3 guitars ? whoa

[FenderM16]

Everyone just Shutup And listen to SY..They are Genious's..thier music sooth's the soul..

[liuxiaoning1990]

尼玛，开始以为中间那是珂本呢

[medanzig]

I've always sorta liked sy but never really got into them. I've never heard them with an official bass player, sounds awesome!

[citytribe1]

This is the best version of this song.Awesome blends of noise and fuzz harmonics. Jim on bass is on point as well.

[Phelsuma04]

The most played song in 2010 was Pink "Raise Your Glass". Go watch that and look at some of the comments.

We smart people need to start telling stupid people what to like again.

[TheWobbuffet3]

@Phelsuma04

i could not agree with you more glad im not the only one haha

[TheLowermen]

@Phelsuma04 arrogant , smug asshole with music taste , but boasting your ego on that ..hm.. you re no better that this generation of retarded hipster morons . see ya .

[shoekstra1419]

@SullenMorbius

NYC Ghosts & Flowers

[Backlit91]

@shoekstra1419 Such an underrated record.

[SullenMorbius]

weird seeing lee playing tele and thurston w gibson

[BillyShears1600]

For the first minute and a half Thurston is playing the part you'd expect Lee to play, Kim is playing the part you'd expect Thurston to play and Lee is making spaceship noises :D

[willrichtor]

@BillyShears1600 That sounds like a general description of Sonic Youth to me! f^_^'

[njlacrosse9]

holy poop! conan!

[bernyqueen]

what happen with music now days, is like we pass from hard fuking good shit music to some faggots like justin beber jones brothers pice of shits faggots, WHAT HAPPEND?

[nichobert]

@bernyqueen why does it seem like everyone blames justin bieber for the downfall of american music lately? he's a teenager that plays like 10 instruments. there has to be someone better to use as the figurehead of whats wrong with america. theres been some approximation of bieber making millions of dollars for decades. blame Creed or something.

[MrMartinhurt]

@nichobert

yeah, 14 people like Creed. And now we have Creed. Now people listen to Creed, how far we've fallen... Fuck Creed, this band rocks! I hate Creed.

[marmelendez]

@nichobert

Its a greedy music industry and the likes of the black eyed peas.. they dont make music they make 3.50 min commercials.. its about sticking a watch a cellphone and some jewelry and jeans in your face nothing to do with music.. they are propably owned by hedgefunds.. only salvation is the old punk tenet : DIY

[oneminutewithprod]

besides nofx and iron maiden, sonic youth is the best band name ever

[Bobjb999]

Ever notice that artists who have youthful references in their names stay young at heart, stay prolifically creative, & have musical longevity?

-I give you Sonic Youth & Neil Young to illustrate this theory!

[khanflesh]

Ah, my friend was an intern on the old Late Night with Conan show and he snuck me in to see them rehearse. That was a good day.

[PROV3it]

now the name sonic youth is a delightful contradiction

[Akinass81]

les paul doesn't suit him !

[dark3rbol]

Whaaaat? A Les Paul?!

[pelaoyork]

chile presente

[labacoidu91]

Lee Ronaldo has a terrance (or philippe i'm not expert...) from south park on his telecaster at 0:10 ?

[barnibizer]

I love it when this song breaks in...turn it up full volume on your stereo...amazing sounds

[504ecj]

What pedal thing is Jim playing on?

[hadapuff]

how strange to see Turston with a Les paul...

SY at their best, so tight and so intense, shivers all throughout...

[matsheep1999]

@hadapuff yes it is strange...

[hadapuff]

how strange to see Turston with a Les paul...

SY at their best, so tight and so intense, shivers all throughout...

[KrisseSydan]

Best noisy pop ever! Roaring guitars, violent rhytms, weird drum beats, cool bass lines and singing comes from heart. Totally awesome band!!!

[danielinsporto]

am i alone if i dislike kims voice and much prefer thurston's?

[Nephloid]

@danielinsporto Kim somewhat intentionally strayed away from the stereotypical sweet and flowery female singing which is also apparent in her lyrics and personality. I give her respect for it, plus it coincides with one of the things SY represents; that you don't have to shape yourself to other peoples expectations.

[danielinsporto]

@Nephloid oh i obviously realise that her singing style is intentional, and i respect how unique and consistent with the music it is.. i just dont like the it, thats all.

[brw0044]

@danielinsporto you don't have to! I don't like tomatoes

[smoceskreen]

where the hell have bands like this gone to? now its just trash groups with pretty boys who are rocker wannabes and just care about airtime ratings.

[Nirvaaanaa]

@smoceskreen love your coment and totally agree but sry what are airtime ratings?

[smoceskreen]

@Nirvaaanaa haha yeah... theyre just like TV ads... people just wanna see pretty faces, the product is no.2.

[matrix2004]

@smoceskreen Its happening again..they are coming. One example is 'Warpaint'. The only thing is these are Hipsters.

[brw0044]

@smoceskreen no there is still plenty of good music... you just have to find it. sonic youth isn't "that" underground these days really. hell you're watching a tv appearance right now!

[paragshah2112]

@smoceskreen a moratorium on real art was declared a while back. these groups are grandfathered in.

[marmelendez]

@smoceskreen its not music anymore its just an advertisement delivery system...

[oddsource]

@smoceskreen phones and auto tunes plague the waves man!

[xsonicyouth81]

@smoceskreen i think sonic youth is still together but with diff members i think

[Kurtney4594]

@xsonicyouth81 nope they simply added a member, and extra guitar/bassist

[90sCovers]

@smoceskreen You're just thinking of the popular ones. The music hasn't changed in many areas of the world, all that's changed is the industry.

They're pretty poppy compared to Sonic Youth, but look up Violent Soho. They're on Thurston Moore's record label.

[MCStupa]

@smoceskreen we still have modest mouse

[jonvader31]

@smoceskreen Bullshit! What about Built to spill band of horses qotsa etc.......

[naccienac]

@jonvader31 QotSA comes from the 80s and Built to Spill from the 90s.

[jonvader31]

@naccienac Qotsa does not come from the 80's, kyuss wasn't even playing in the 80's, besides there still putting out albums today, all I'm saying is there's great bands coming out now, Red Fang, The Valley, Wofat, awesome color, Tweak Bird, just to name a few, maybe you were referencing shitty radio rock, or maybe you just don't live near a good music scene.

[naccienac]

@jonvader31 Dude I listen to a lot of music, but you are right with QotSA, they come from the 90s. And I agree totally with you there are still a lot of good bands!

[wipers86]

@smoceskreen there is still some real good bands around man there just not in the mainstream

[WeekendWarrior126]

@smoceskreen

I'm really getting tired of hearing this. The whole "music is ded now!!!!1" bit is entirely untrue, look a bit harder and you'll find some really amazing acts still being formed.

[toothandtiger]

@WeekendWarrior126 Thank you. I couldn't have put it better myself! Of course sonic youth is great, but besides all this "living in the past and do nothing but worship the daydream nation"-thing, there are some really cool bands out there, who know how to kick ass.

[BEATmyguest31]

yes its true there will always b a handful of good bands that come through BUT there r WAYYYYYYYY fewer original bands out there anymore, so many groups form strictly to become ROCK STARS, music is going downhill call it however u want but thats how i c it, music has gotten lazy energy is created on a computer these dayz, but back in the day it was with the energy from the performance of the artist WITH AN INSTRUMENT, not a fucking computer enhanced, voiced over piece of shit

[TheMadeinmoon]

jim orourke you are god

[pow70]

awesome



[symbionese]

SISTER

[Tapicero111]

thats a sweet tele :)

[ekphrasticmeatie]

Wow- does Thurston rally have a South Park character pasted on his Les Paul?

[PantheonLincoln]

@ekphrasticmeatie

Yes he does. For this performance, both Thurston and Lee had Terrence & Phillip stickers on their guitars.

[AroundThePony]

@ekphrasticmeatie true it`s Terence.or Phillip

[TheProletarius]

this is to much favorite ....just myself...@

[DCbound138]

Youth will never get old

[Fender1976uk]

Their just timeless! hear them in 1990 or 2009! they still sound the same

[DCbound138]

@Fender1976uk

Sonic Youth will remain "Youth"ful forever.

It's just the way it is. =]

[Fender1976uk]

I never care how old a band is :) I never understand why some people get so hung up on a bands ages?? they must be talking about looks? which is shallow! because guys like Sonic Youth are always young at heart :) and should keep going and going like the Rollingstones! never give up what you love

[poppedeyes]

Rare to see Thurston Moore play a Les Paul period.

[TheToastBrothers]

The syncronized swaying in the beginning is kinda weird

[4lifeGoo]

Is this off NYC Ghosts and Flowers?

[LEDZEPPER666]

did anyone notice the small carton from terrance and phillip in south park on the lead guitarist les paul lol? u get a good look at 3:31

[TheToastBrothers]

@LEDZEPPER666 Yea if you go on the SY gear guide website you can see those guitars. Thurston has terrance and lee has phillip. And thurston's not lead guitar.

[evanian63]

I absolutely adore Sonic Youth for their pioneering contribution to rock and roll as we know it...and I think this song is the sweetest homage.

[sChizOphreine]

je ferrais jamais mieux que cela merci pour l'Hommage à kurdt Kobain

[yonswidow]

terrance and phillips on their guitars.... hilarious!!!!

[LedoyLaVaina]

they always be good

[TheSicDominator]

This is from NYC Ghosts And Flowers, isnt it?

Ive got to say, its possibly my least favourite of all their releases, still quite good though

[BozoMom8]

Awesome track from SY. Loved it.

Also its kinda cool how tall Thurson and Conan are!!

[FreksLP]

woooo man

how the hell can she have that voice? :S

is she coughing or singing??? :S

[4578a]

I think we've gotten a little off topic.there's an amazing band playing here.

[johnw840]

@4578a Yeah, correct, my fault for over reacting over some daft comments and beating on the good guy. Terrific track and unique. (Asspies and Downs Syndrome jibes does not bing out the best in me) Apologies All. Love Johnw840

[TheToastBrothers]

@NymphZoic68 Yea it would be a lot better if you just didn't

[johnw840]

@NymphZoic68 Hi, sorry mate, fair comment. I thought it was a jibe, because of some of the other silly posts recently added. Didnt realise you were a fan.

Apologies, John.

[theburialmusic]

The drummer looks like he has down syndrome

[Tomboulbouk]

fact: they actually all asspies .

[miepdetruus]

@theburialmusic at least that drummer is playing in one of the best rockbands in the world, so better look retarded en do that thing then, sja, what do you do ???

[johnw840]

Daft twat, she's Thurston's Wife. Still what is that axe Kim is playing? looks a bit Spinal Tap but sounds OK, any ideas anyone as curious. Love JohnW.

[Gloriamagnificens]

Whoever is fucking that sexy blonde singer is the luckiest man of Earth.

[ragnatoad]

@Gloriamagnificens That guitarist on the right is her husband. ^^

[Krusas2]

Shame on you

[neviatha]

woah!!!!!

This fuckin rocks!!!! Kim's voice is immense!!!!

[johnw840]

What a load of twaddle, they have not sold out & sound as great as 25 years ago when I first heard them on "John Peel Show". Radio 1, when there wasn't anyone else playing them. Get a life & show some respect U lot!!

[MrTrupero]

Geniales

[bourgoisereader]

They're amazing and they haven't sold out, just mellowed out a bit which is natural. Still leagues above pretty much anything and everything! Check out their stuff they release themselves if you think they've sold out(if you can handle it!)

[1975change]

What a great band, they just keep rocking and creating interesting music.

[bobzechikon]

i don't think their show selling out it so bad. i think sonic youth should be more popular

[evanseeworld]

Muy buena cancion...muy buena!

[culapculap]

awesome

[cliffsbeard]

Lee's hair looks rad with the silver fox. One of the most innovative guitar players ever.

[captainleg07]

I have nephews in their 20s who dress like thurston; how does he manage it?? worlds coolest band

[sunsplash1980]

Money, from selling out, duh.

[CBB786]

yeah mannnnn selling out!!! booo! Didn't you graduate from your punk rock phase when you we're 16.....

[jeianafa12547dj]

They sold out, this is new to me seeing as they're with a independent record label Matador. Well this song shows other wise

[adamo36532]

...
