Pavement - Painted Soldiers

[AcidBurn5009]

oh man, the old school wedge classic. this is when Alternative still had exposure

[nunopumpkin]

the fax it's just like in BACK TO THE FUTURE 2 :)



[diegocombi]

I wanna be one of steve west's sons

[fahlerfreak]

Having Veruca Salt in the video is so much funnier/better than Weezer. I'm glad Rivers Cuomo doesn't get to screw up this great video for me.

[diegocombi]

@fahlerfreak absolutely true

[MitchGettman]

Fucking hilarious!

[twinsrule1987]

The video for the new superchunk song "digging for something" is exactly like this, still really funny

[kamrade1]

Re: Weezer/Veruca Salt: I think the story is: Weezer had a very early "founding member and they were going to bring him into the band again. They told him it was "his" band and he supposedly said, "All right, I'm gonna fire them and hire Veruca Salt to be Weezer, and so Weezer bailed on the idea and Pavement picked it up.

[Jbar300]

Dude if weezer appeared on this music video I probably would have shitted my pants and would've started crying. I knew that I noticed that ending scene with the girls, it's an exact copy of Weezer's Undone the sweater song. It kind of dissappoints me that they didn't do it though. :(

PS. I love weezer since they introduced me to alt rock

[MrMountain33]

@Dltn97 thats not gary thats westie.gary got tossed after s&e

[ahaze0311]

Sweet video!

[MountErrigal]

Look at the size of Malkmus' cell/mobile phone in this video, hilarious!!!

[isalegal]

bob actually works with horse races

[MountErrigal]

@isalegal

He is nuts about horses. I just can't picture him working in that industry for some reason after watching him scream his head off at Pavement gigs!

[ChiefOmaha]

is that David cross who keeps appearing randomly throughout there music videos with a freakish toupee? not knowing that has been a shit in my cut?

[3amMMA]

UNABOMBER NONPLUSSED

[kennyscotten]

weezer

[sk8nike]

i love it when mark ibold grabs that chicks and shakes her and throws her down haha

[crabolde]

Great video, full of class!

remember folks, it's not all about Stephen Malkmus....it's about Pavement yo!

[nunoxav]

@Dltn97 who the fuck were those beatles?!

[myoung1566]

i think the fax firing in this vid is a reference to the way that Black Francis told the rest of Pixies that he was breaking up the band...

kind of cold haha

[SOADafi]

too bad this wasnt on any of their albums till the Wowee Zowee re-relase, I love this song

[ar4216]

"What the fuck!"

LOL!

[KJAnsia]

Love it!

[mynameisscottEyo09]

0:51 read the lips

"what the f**k!"

man, i love pavement

[sintaxi803]

That's not all...maybe I've got a one-track mind, but it looks like:

Bob Nastanovich: "What the fuck?!"

Mark Ibold: "What the fuck, man?!"

Steve West: "Fuck!"

[sintaxi803]

Steve West is the drummer.

[Foldered]

@Dltn97 He said the drummer.

[gleetus]

I'm a huge Pavement fan and I've never heard this song! Awesome!

[pavement27]

It's on a Kids In The Hall movie soundtrack

[BlackHoleBrew42]

steve west is a pedophile apparently

[Shotgunnova]

I like how Malkmus has a printer on his passenger seat, haha.

[crazymiles]

It's called a fax machine.

[hollywoodpurplehaze]

LEGENDS  PERIOD

[bugnaw75]

what the......punk chicks are they doing in this vid?

new idea tho...

[COPMMUSIC]

this song was on BRAIN CANDY

[sirron777]

Captain Kirk rocks!

[gvidedbyvoices]

woohooohoooo

[MrWoweeZowee]

i liked the girls at the end nice touch

[marmelendez]

This is the best fucking video ever.. hilarious performance by all.

[metalli07]

this wasn't on Wowee Zowee.

and are Paramedics allowed to smoke in the US on duty ? far out.

[sashwap]

veruca salt is hotter than weezer, though.

[allanosterm]

This is so damn hilarious. Classic woo-hoo Pavement. Ibold's great as the pissed off pimp. Who plays the director?

I sure hope Stephen didn't fire the band that way.

[crazymiles]

If you were paying attention, you would see that it's Kannberg doing the "firing" in the video, not Malkmus.

[allanosterm]

If you were paying attention, you would see that Pavement broke up in real life, and this is what I was referring to.

Thanks for telling me about Kannberg, though.

[jeffwhit]

SS sure liked his "ooh-hoos" and "woo-hoos" eh?

[mseales]

lolsauce @ the bellbottomed paramedic.

[davetube68]

"Ibold out of Pavement ... Creative Interference ... Unabomber Nonplussed". Hee Hee! 1990s flashback ...

[danieldefoe]

Spiral Stairs on the mic. If any are interested or don't know, SS did some solo work after Pavement broke up. Band name is Preston School of Industry.

cheers

[BledWh1te]

Veruca Salt are so much better than Weezer anyway.

[bssmagik16]

what album is this from?

[McGuinty1]

wasn't on any of the albums, I don't think it's on any of the vinyl singles or ep's (none of the ones I own, which is most of them). It's on the Wowee Zowee Sordid Sentinels double disc reissue, and according to the booklet, this song is from the soundtrack to the Kids in the Hall movie, Brain Candy, which I haven't seen yet for some reason.

[McGuinty1]

I suggest you run out and buy the three reissues that they've already put out (Slanted, CRCR and Wowee) because they're all chock full of awesome stuff that you'd have to be a vinyl hound like me to get, and some stuff that is unreleased or impossible to find even in bootleg circles. Oh, and all the Pavement videos (this one included), a full live show with multiple angles and a good documentary are all on the Slow Century DVD, pick it up too

[foreverWHOfan]

theyre rereleasing Brighten the Corners sometime this year too! =)))

[automatwinslaytracks]

Every Pavement song was my anthem from 7th grade to the middle of 9th grade.

I listened to them so much I'm fucking sick of them.

[beyondtheclouds]

Haha! Me too! To the second part, that is.

[methicillinresistant]

keep listening to today's crap and you'll reappreciate them

[McGuinty1]

I didn't know that Weezer were supposed to be the replacements. Although thinking about it, it's probably funnier with Veruca Salt.

[liambf]

weezer were supposed to be pavement, not the replacements! (bad pun, sorry)

[McGuinty1]

lmao, good one! Rivers Cuomo looks nothing like Paul Westerberg though, it would never work.

[luistownmassacre]

Yep, Rivers is not cool enough to be Paul.

[58everton]

who the fuck is weezer........minus ten if you know the answer unless your american minus twenty

[GiggyStardust]

a really good band, that's who weezer is.

[podycheck]

I once saw Weezer called "Pavement with training wheels" hahahaha.

[mseales]

This video is lol.

[weezerzero]

Holy crap, Weezer and Pavement were at one points almost friendly enough with each other to work on a video together!? This blows my mind, and disappoints me that a Pavement reunion is very unlikely before 2009.

[liambf]

i don't think so. pavement said that weezer were afraid they were gonna make fun of them

[LydiaDeeets]

...speaking of that pavement reunion....

[PylonSalt]

This song is catchy as hell! Woo hoo hoo.

[Spooly]

love pavement... good video.
