Pixies Dead, I bleed, Snub TV BBC session 1989

[CaptainCPike]

As loud as hell.....

[TypicalRandom]

Weeeeeeeeee!!!!

[doogdoogdoog]

0:49 You gotta love how such a demented scream can come out of such a deadpan expression..

<3 Pixies, for all time.

[chaseduran]

They were doing the red color coordination about ten years before the White Stripes.

[sushup69]

it seems like all cool shit has a certain flavor, chuck palhnuick, the pixies, orgasms, all taste like buds

[5150afx]

NOBODYYYY KNOWS

[BobDylan1201]

THE CRAPPAH

[Sanger500]

Did Liz Phair get anything from these guys?

[slotrail75]

This is about as good as it gets, meaning: as good as a trad 4 piece band gets.

[YouCube7]

What's that on Francis's shirt?

[DoolittleKid]

Band requirements: you must be a badass and wear a red shirt.

[juanfacundors]

OOO O A

[juanfacundors]

[sushup69]

Real people made music at one point...crazy

[oldblackdawning]

[luiisluiis]

[DJSaturnia]

Thank you for posting! I saw them open for Love & Rockets in 89

[Grauenstadt]

@DJSaturnia you lucky fucking bastard!

[dosomethin888]

BEATLES of the 80s?

[manicbabyshambles123]

@dosomethin888 Naaaa that's the Smiths, the Pixies were the Velvet Underground.

[iluvjawsus]

2:32 - 2:44

[nola3591]

Do you think they were all wearing red just to fuck with people?

[OldManRiverz]

@nola3591 I didn't even notice until you said! Ha!!

[TheNadster2]

haha this was too bizarre two year's back when I was expecting a proto-Nirvana, but now I think their greattt

[beforethree]

no clean clothes, no haircut, pure music, fucking hell its the most important thing, being natural !

awesome performance.

[cron1077]

Miss Frank's hair..

[sammyh1982]

Kim is so funny the way she talks

[ravie08]

camera man was a total noob

[meadowwinds123]

this band has such great musical chemistry between each other 

[ravie08]

what a terrible camera man!

[Afskjg93]

gotta love Francis' screams

[rockerpata]

kim was fucking beautiful

[deathkampdrone]

the band in red.

[andywarstarforever]

rad

[MrRichoh]

Saw them perform both these songs live on Doolittle Tour in Oz this year.

Life changing experience.

My head almost exploded.

[KnightofSaintJohn]

best band to be born on this beautiful soil.

[ThePieIsLie]

The Pixies' genre is simply called....Pixies. Not punk, not grunge, not alternative...

[bman462]

lol Dead kicked so much ass here

[MoreToLife420]

the name of this song is dead, not i bleed. hate to be a neigh-sayer, but i also hate to see wrongly named songs, and i, like all others who listen to them, love the fuck out of the pixies.

[QIDWEZ]

@MoreToLife420 They play 2 songs here. The second one is called I bleed. Hate to be a neigh-sayer.

[holifeet]

@QIDWEZ and @MoreToLife420

I hate to be a naysayer, but it's naysayer.

Neigh-sayer is a talking horse...

[FaxanaduJohn]

@MoreToLife420 I Bleed comes after Dead...

[cloob1000]

what sort of guitar does joey have?

[Zeinishe]

@cloob1000 Gibson Les Paul

[anandafilippi]

Só para aquecer!!!



[Silverfucked]

get me DEAD!

[theyoweta]

This was befoe it's time. Thanks for the post.

[amickrocker]

No-bahhhhhhdee knowws.

[mauriolg]

I miss you greatly too.

[mrsklg1]

I miss you guys greatly.

[Eightball69]

I don't think I ever saw a bad episode of Snub TV....the bands they featured were always totally ream.

[bucksausage]

why does kim deal remind me of katie morgan in this video?

[ryanluke99]

That's perfect...at 4:20 it cuts to David on drums.

My favorite time and my favorite drummer!

[jjamo5]

The best!

[phish221]

They all have on red shirts in I Bleed so I guess Dave got the memo after all

[macaly1]

LOVE IT!!!

From Glasgow, Scotland.

[alibootboy]

why did snub tv not get another series? was janet street porter to blame??

[Jellybladder]

Watching Kim, it makes me want to do a sex wee :-o

[kraftwerk456]

i never knew the Pixies we're bloodz......go figure.

[restoremaz]

Awesome video....thanks heeps for uploading...

[artrock101]

david didn't get the memo about the red shirt...

[guanjon]

Frank Black, one of the greatest song writers of our time.

[IntellectualConcepts]

diametricYouth = fag

diametricYouth = fag

diametricYouth = fag

diametricYouth = fag

diametricYouth = fag

diametricYouth = fag

[corpsemunger]

check the vantage bass, im making a guitar based on that style

[edammade]

21 years and still noone has come up with anything as original as this band did.

Leftfield, alternative, beautiful, raw, melodius compositions.

[diametricYouth]

@edammade: No truer words yet spoken

[IntellectualConcepts]

@diametricYouth you're an idiot fag. i'm not a democrat homo, go suck bush dick faggot!

[diametricYouth]

@IntellectualConcepts: I'm not a democrat either...? Nice going though. You just succeeded in being a crude, tasteless, dehumanizing boor who lacks finesse or social restraint. I'm sure your parents are so proud.

[diametricYouth]

I like how this wonderfully strange and bizarre band resonates with the amount of people that it does....makes me not feel as alone in this normal/bland world.

[roejogan8]

there you go again with your cool posturing. they aren't that strange. they are just fucking great.

[diametricYouth]

If you knew anything about Frank, Joey, David, or Kim (especially Kim) you wouldn't have said that. And what's with that "cool posturing" thing? Are you projecting or something?

[roejogan8]

strange to one person isn't always strange to someone else. maybe i found them weird at first, but now it's just normal good music to me. and the regular shit is weird to me. especially kim? i love the breeders. i like pod better than every pixies album. it's amazing.

[diametricYouth]

That's totally fine that you feel that way about the Pixies. For me....using the word "normal" to describe something like the Pixies just doesn't feel right. It's like they're too good for that word. For a band that wrote a song called "Tony's Theme", weird seems affectionately appropriate somehow.

[roejogan8]

i guess i'm a freakin weirdo. because to me they are normal. it should be a normal thing to be creative, unpredictable, and interesting. it's sad that being boring is the norm!

[diametricYouth]

Only you can make that call. As for me, I'm a card carrying weird person. The Pixies are just part of a bigger sub-culture where arty/creative/socially aware people express themselves freely, and I see no shame in being part of something like that.

[heathy91]

HELL YEAH!

[SethHesio]

@diametricYouth You are not a unique and beautiful snowflake. ;)

[Catatofish]

@diametricYouth - Ken Oath.



[SethHesio]

@diametricYouth The geek shall inherit the earth. :)

[carlo774]

they are brilliant

[FirePaperMario]

Kim. oh yeahhh

[brianwilson49]

@FirePaperMario

damn she's hot!

[WolfgangHolzmann]

Pixies at the reading festival. One of the best nights of my life.

[feralmothbite]

weezer rip off I bleed like really badly

[mrmexican101]

@feralmothbite what weezer track is the rip off of i bleed? the sweater song?

[feralmothbite]

Yer its pretty blatant. its like same riff same dynamics just lame old weexer playing it

[boxsterman23]

pure genius

[AnEnemy100]

proof that geeks make the best music

[srana10]

Oh my lord!! They are so awesome!!

[macfint]

they sound perfect

[MrJazzyjeff510]

This is Dead, not I Bleed...regardless, it was an awesome performance.

[tubeofyoulol]

keep watching. they play both.

[MrJazzyjeff510]

Haha. Yeah, I figured that out right after I posted the comment.

[1coteca]

@MrJazzyjeff510 : "i bleed" kicks in from 2:42!

[Transmissionwould]

Besides the ending to No. 13 Baby, 2:02 is the best moment on Doolittle.

[mochalex]

I bleed.

[PeS1258]

las manchas del gordo enel buzo parecen de semen...

[osvaldokenobi]

De seguro las conoces bien de cerca dichas manchas...

[kryschen1]

i'm so in love with kim in this video.

[KBHRAM57]

right on....3:34....hot

[FaxanaduJohn]

Everything about the performance of Dead is perfect. The rawness, Joey's deadpan expression, Kim's smile, Frank's stained jumper. The fucking song itself. Perfect.

[KBHRAM57]

You are right....this is the Pixies.....perfection

[dosomethin888]

@FaxanaduJohn no love for the drummer?

[FaxanaduJohn]

@dosomethin888 The drummer is a God.

[luxou812]

you crazy babe Bathsheba...

[RaNk323itsmynamegeez]

the beginning is what they used for the gouge away video.

[KBHRAM57]

Man...Kim is hot here.

[boarwood]

i agree with you.

[angus0074]

nada mejor que los Pixies

[kryschen1]

he just sounds like a fucking animal, it's amazing.

[sal26]

I remember playing my cassette of Doolittle over and over again. My girlfriend at the time thought I was insane. I was 17 and never heard anything like it before but in made so much sense to me. Still does.

[KBHRAM57]

No one can scream like Charles...

[blashuvec]

i just noticed.. is 0:47 and 1:49 the same exact footage?? just look!!

[FaxanaduJohn]

I always thought that at 0:47 Frank's scream sounded far too extended for the duration of time that his mouth is opened. Nice spot. What the fuck did they do that for?

[blashuvec]

i don't know dude, maybe because that scream was so powerful that the camera went distorted and messy. haha maybe

[THeEraSerr]

maybe his voice was hurting or something and wasn't up for it dunno. great peformance though. i bleed = amaazing

[thedayitriedtodie]

well, it's out of sync, the audio and video....

[clcsqueejy04]

wow!! they're so young!

[jegshepherd]

i bleed jus keeps gettin better with every listen,the doolittle gigs r gona be sooooooooooooo fuckn good

[dav11677]

damn kim deal is fly hot! the pixies were way ahead of there time, inspirational

[RichieMDer]

Kim looks so pretty here...

PIXIES RULE

[w00tw00tjon]

it takes confidence to perform with a bunch of snot stains on your sweater.

[hammersdontthink]

Looks more like seamen.

[proffesornutbutter]

ahahahahahahahahahaha

[stoneeyedkiller]

Dead and I Bleed are 2 of the best alternative songs ever. Nothing beats the genius of Doolittle.

[noogies]

man

kim was banging.

[KBHRAM57]

smoking hot

[noogies]

GGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGG­GG!

If only time machines existed.

[jon1156]

My friend and I decided to form a band when we were 14 so we went to the local guitar shop and the guy sold me a Les Paul copy and my friend an Aria Pro 2 bass - just like the one Kim Deal is playing here. I hoped I'd never hear that piece of crap again.

[gouvyrock]

pixies rules!!!!!

[primrod]

Thank You for posting marburg61.

5*

[orangecrushaa]

always love that funy chorus they put into the song

[ganton34kk]

i bleed wat a fucking song

[ghost037]

Looks like Rivers Cumo listened to I Bleed and Doolittle alot.

[ManilaSyndicate]

It's nice to see this here again. The inclusion of "I Bleed" and the better sound and video quality is a plus.

[Alianger]

this made me laugh hard, so great to see how the songs are played up close like this.

[WeMustBeStopped]

Well, I like YOU, Kim Deal, cuz your fucking AWESOME.

[Feyrhawk]

this is not grunge. its not punk. It's the pure unraveling of the mind.

[KyostiG]

DEAD!

[asonofleemarvin]

oh for god sake dont call em' that! euurrgh

[masswill]

MASSACHUSETTS FUCKIN ROCKIN THE BOAT FOR A LONG TIME tea party anybody.... my mind secedes

[stephhh02]

frank black is the funniest song writer. i have no idea how he injects so much humour in to his music... howl

[brajtnerinjo]

Frank Black looks like a strip club owner

[Cruentus1]

Funny you say that, because his father really was a strip club owner.

[NinetiesYouth]

No way, I thought he was a bartender.

[sonofthestork]

the pixies and primus have the best basslines in the world. want proof? 2:45-3:05...yeah. what.

[lukeashmoore]

DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh man, it makes me so happy when he screams that shit.

[themitchies]

Dead is such a great song. One of their best.

[NinetiesYouth]

I Bleed's just as good.

[NinetiesYouth]

0:18 - 0:25

[00MJH]

totally agree

[hamtrak]

sorry....Kims gorgeous in this!

[AlecEiffelXV]

i love frank's shirt

[huthut91]

super duper.

[stevenallan23]

In my opinion - The greatest band to ever grace the planet! period!

[NinetiesYouth]

Agreed.

[beforethree]

pretty good band, these songs are my favorites :)

damn good

[ace41354]

they are so awesome

[dietspritezero]

i've noticed in most pixies videos, almost every other comment is about kim...you know, kim is great and all...she's very awesome...but i think it's time we showed charles, dave, and joey a bit of lovin', how about you?

charles - you are a musical genius. period.

joey - you are a guitar god.

dave - you bring down the house with your drumming.

ok, and kim...you're the reason i play bass. enough said.

[Cruentus1]

Post another video of you playing guitar with your boobs hanging out. That's what the public wants.

[dietspritezero]

cruentus: this is no place to talk about my mammaries! if you feel the need to make such comments, then for goodness sake, post them to my videos and not this one.

anyway, no more of those kinds of videos. my little brother watches my channel.

[rychlewski27]

you have a video of boob action?

awesome! send it to me

[dietspritezero]

he's lying. there is no such video.

[lonelygnome1]

ah so urria finally hit the crapper

[ppmqqz]

The true story of David and Bathsheba.

[guaranadrought]

At 01:33 - only Sonic Youth have ever done a better breakdown...

[cockney1980]

fantastic

[MrFriendepz]

I love reading comments to Pixies videos, it never fails to turn into a Cobain discussion, and a million comments about being in love with Kim. Hey, you can't blame them! :)

[joepower]

not new, just assume they're new

[stickpictures]

Uriah hit the crapper, the crapper

Uriah hit the crapper, the crapper

Gotta love the way Thompson snags in biblical and mythological references in the weirdest contexts. Fuckin genius. Now back to the Cobain discussion every Pixies thread must devolve into for some reason...

[deperer]

yeah... Cobain and Deal would not exist without the pixies. Imagine music without the pixies! We need a pixies now. To bring out the Cobains and the Deals. But We need more Cobain threads in Hole videos, not here.

[wolfmega321]

Kim looks hot in this,

the mic seems really shitty,

otherwise it was awesome.

[manomaus]

muito foda...
