Thurston Moore Meets Mike Watt.

[Jerdna3]

YOU GOTTA WATCH THE MOTIN THURSTON YOUR MEMORY GOES OUT THE WINDAH

[timepope]

Whoa GezaX plug think at about 3:xy

I thought I was the only one that knew GezaX

[gingereades]

@zian1977c @zian1977c Mike Watt is great! A "seminal post-punk bass player." who received the Bass Player Magazine lifetime achievement award. He's been on tour w/ Iggy + the Stooges playing bass as well as doing his 3rd opera.

[SuperFreedom48]

@gingereades you got that right gingereades! Mike's opera, he says, "'Hyphenated-Man' is a voyage into the middle, without being all sappy about it. You played the game, but still you confront yourself: What is 'Man'? In middle-age you start asking yourself these questions, and it." His bass playing to me gives him the status of the father of punk bass cos he's so kick-ass!

[MansourtheAmazing]

squid

[MrPunkandPissed]

the dude underneath me is a moron, mike watt is the bass player for the best Prog. ArtCore Punk band ever, The Minutemen. D.Boon is the heavy guitar player, and george hurley is the drummer. all three from the minutemen, who sonic youth thought was a huge inspiration on punk.

[gingereades]

@MrPunkandPissed I'm with you, Watt has been a huge musical influence. Yr words are well written and true! Watt is great!

[Iamcola65]

@zian1977c a fat old guy

[marcusguernsey]

Richard Hell was awesome.Also,you never realize just how tall Thurston is until your in the same room as him.He s not quite 7 foot tall,but looks like it from a distance.

[magnostic]

Thurston still looks so young like he could get fucking christened next week.

[faunchile]

I'd love to peruse Thurston's gigantic record collection, wow.

[radinkins]

i met t, but he was completely quiet. hey i can kinda play one of his songs off the dirty album i forgot the title and i usually forget the lyrics but it has that line. ' i learned it all from you girl'

[jetsonic69]

Club Lingerie?? Is that a strip club? :)

[StraightPunkEdge93]

When Im old ugly and unsightly, Thurston is still going to look the way he did in 1990

[TheTrainRex]

Jesus that is a lot of records.

[nowave1139]

That squid story at me laughing so hard it hurt

[equallyeasilyfuqyou]

ALL I EAT IS SQUID

[neviatha]

@Blindedbytheshine Well said!!!

[sonicbuzzard]

This song is called WattPower

[tempusfugit1986]

If you know Mike Watt, u know a good guy. Thurston too:)

4:19 ":D-Boon likes squid!" lol

[scumgod13]

I met Mike Watt in Knoxville, TN in about 1988 when Firehose played here. What a cool experience we smoked a fatty while he told stories from the tour. He was just like Thurston said, kinda loud and very talkative. We stood outside City Side cafe on Mkt square entranced by his stories for what seemed like an hr.(Prolly 10 min. tho.) but everything my guitarist would say would remind him of another story and off he'd go.One of the coolest experiences I've had.COOL,COOL guy!

[MajestaBuck]

Thurston Moore is one of the nicest people in rock n roll. I was waiting outside the 9:30 club before a Sonic Youth show and I see Thurston and Lee, just chilling outside the tour bus, alone. I didn't want to look stupid or anything (because they are my IDOLS) but I really wanted to meet them. So my boyfriend told me to go up to them and I did. Thurston talked to me about our mutual favorite bands for about 10 minutes and when I shyly asked him to sign my ticket, he did. And then HE hugged ME!!!

[Zerrith]

@MajestaBuck Yeah but maybe you have big boobs.

[MajestaBuck]

@Zerrith You are a sexist asshole. And no.I don't have big boobs. Prick. Maybe you have a small penis.

[Zerrith]

@MajestaBuck wow take it easy there feminazi I'm just joking and my comment got two thumbs up.. If it was legitemetaly sexist and awful and offensive I would've gotten a world of thumbs down so shut up.

[zensorship]

I just uploaded a video to "Tuff Gnarl" a cool song Thurston Moore wrote for Mike Watt. It appeared on the CD "Ball-Hog or Tugboat?" (the question mark is part of the CD title).

watch?v=8QrOEZAb4Uk

[AndaleyAndaley]

@Blindedbytheshine

true true

[mommyimadeapoopy]

if i'm gonna go to a booze joint,they better have squid!

[SonicHippie90]

If all I had to do in life was talk and jam with Thurston Moore (or with Sonic Youth in general), I would be in eternal euphoria. Long live Thurston Moore and Sonic Youth!!!!

[feedmetotheforest86]

I would kill to be in the early to mid eightes when all of these amazing bands were coming out. Sonic Youth, Minutemen, Husker Du, The Replacements, Dinosaur Jr. ect.

[DraculaOrange]

hahaha now i'm always gonna think of squid when i think of mike watt

[FurryOwlet]

Lmao, looks like it.

[Shoomski]

You could see thurstons real age in his eyes, if you looked at his eyes you could tell he's pretty old. I just thought that was pretty cool :)

[johnwaynesfoot]

What could be romantic to Mike Watt?

[mattisprettycool]

I like this, I like seeing Thurston just talk naturally about something funny. I rarely ever see him genuinely smile or laugh.

[DNRvideos]

"...it was groovy~..."

[mattisprettycool]

All I eat is squid! D. Boon likes squid!

[thatguyyoudontfeel]

Me, Thurtson Moore, and Colm O'ciosoig all look similar. That's freaky and cool at the same time.

[njedinjedi]

Moore looks permanently 15 years old

[desasterz]

how old is he there?

[omegasephiroth93]

@njedinjedi lol i agree

[TheMasterOfReality55]

@njedinjedi lol dude i know

[brokenresearch]

Those are Coley's records. Why you bust?

[JeroenUyttendaele]

what a record collection!

[PamK36]

You might think a record collection like that is fun- until you have to move.

[guyinfuckinghat]

amen to that then you drop zepplin 2 fuck i want that record back

[MrShagnasty18]

@PamK36 LOL.......i have about 200 hundred and they are a pain......i couldent imagine a whole room.

[George18264]

I would love it if thurston didn't have a record player...

[almightyseancore]

why would you own records without a record player?

[Alimantado91]

Ha ha........dull story

[conbonz666]

so funny

[AtlasTravis]

That is a HUGE fucking record collection!

[JackPitts]

The amazing thing is how great of condition they look like they're in. We've got about that many records at the radio station I work at, but they're in rough shape.

[sunbeam11]

Maybe he never actually plays his

[Tron1276]

'cuz i liked squid too, ya know.... i was like...i was kinda into it.

[merrittfan]

When I met Thurston Moore a few weeks ago, he was buying records and now all I'm thinking is that they're sitting right there in that room. How quaint.

[siadbarrbar]

geza x and the mommymen

[ddilling71]

Great story....this looks like an outake from the "We Jam Econo" documentary.

[PieceofMindmusic]

hahah seafood and punk rock are my two of favorite things, too.

[pinballwizardben]

Christ, is that his record collection? Its like a library...... except way cooler.

[kaylastarkiller]

bahaha. I love this so much. except... when I hear this, and imagine the incident... I can't help but picture a bear, instead of mike watt.

[rockalyptic]

funny thing is Mike Watt doesn't talk like that at all.

[cosmicwarrior287]

now,that is a neat record collection.nice story too.

[sydbarrett5]

Look at Thurston's record collection! 2:24

[ZRN959]

Holy Shit

[kingalow1]

Meglomaniac!

[cactaceous]

are you talking about yourself?

[dropd24]

I love his Watt voice. It reminds me of Kowalski from Ren and Stimpy. Funny shit.

[sisterima]

"D. Boon. liked squid!"

hahahha

[kaylastarkiller]

RAAAAAAUGHH NACHOS.

nice.

[zuzu1022]

I want to meet him some day!

[wontgetfooledagain1]

Sure, he may come off as a bit pretentious and even "boring" when he talks...

But it's better than coming off as a jerk.

[marcriganoskate]

boring?!

[yiommi]

I saw him in a used record store in glendale yrs ago but i was too scared to talk to him

[spunkchug]

i don't think thurston (or anyone) really saw the voidoids 100 times.

[fag0tron]

yeah, the voidoids probably didn't even play 100 gigs!

[fag0tron]

i don't think the voidoids even PLAYED 100 times.

[e5d4c3]

but i think hes interesting even though hes kinda nerdy.

[e5d4c3]

i wonder if kim cheats on him. she seems like someone who would get horny for someone who doesent talk so much.

[trackalex]

epic

he is a great man talking about another great man!

AWESOME

[fatbackfunk]

I know look at that record collection.. One can only imagine what kind of gems are in that collection..

[silverchallice23]

Those are Byron Coley's records

[paternagnstuser]

records!

[gmags2003]

good old Thurston still looking 27

[deekay629]

he still looks 17

[angelinakitty]

i saw the richard hell and voidoids so many times. cant even remember how many. he was ALWAYS playing at cbgbs. i remember hell playing ventilator by the stones. those WERE the daze. ohh yeah and thunders. RIP

thuston moore is still great.

sonic youth yeah

[eeelectricboogaloo]

how does he find what record he wantsta hear? heh.

[NAZIPENIS101]

He never listens to anything he just talks and talks and talks and talks........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

[hungus5000tron]

fuck you nazipenis... but u do have a great name

[NAZIPENIS101]

Thank you.

Fuck you too!

[Whitestripes33]

I think the reason he talks and talks and talks is because that's the point of this entire video. How else would we know how he met Mike Watt?

[NAZIPENIS101]

Yes, of course it's an interview. But he drones on and on.

He's the same on lots of video's on here. He likes to talk, just for the sake of talking.

I personally find him very boring.

[mogwai142]

DONT U KNOW THE DEWEY DECIMAL SYSTEM?

[dirtbag1713]

the mommymen are the backing band. actually dug up a copy of it on cd at a local record store.. some jerkoff happened to cop the 12inch right before me.. figures. it's called "you goddam kids"

[dirtbag1713]

geza x and the mommymen.. imagine frank zappa and dead kennedys/black flag had a threesome and that's them

[UnivoxSuperfuzz]

Are the "mommymen" geza x's backing band? I always thought it was just the song "Mean Mr. Mommy Man".

And I definitely agree with yr description of them, except way raunchier.

[NigerianSeafood]

Haha, "Seafood and Punk rock"

[sausagerollnah]

of course thurstons a legend!

[gingereades]

seafood and punk rock; great story!

[ramonemeister]

that's a lot of records. thats fucking awesome.

[lazlo5149]

Mean Mr. Mommy Man

[krevl]

me and mr. mommy man :D

thurston is the coolest.

[porkpiepaul]

Thurston is the coolest guy ever. Talk about intergrity.

GO FORTH AND THRASH!

[grinbergcolastra]

what a MASSIVE record collection...it reachs the ceiling!

[videoguyy]

I already met Thurston Moore once, so thats one life long dream accomplished. Now the only life long dream that remains is to build a record collection like that.

[funkyfoolfromVanNuys]

thurston moore, forever 19 dude. this guy hasn't aged since Sonic Youth formed. Good stuff indeed!

[ZombieJesusBrainz]

hehehe yeah. he is about to turn 50! its amazing isn't it! hence why they can get away with the name sonic youth and be 50!

[funkyfoolfromVanNuys]

wow, 50... that's pretty nuts, but if you put a picture of thurston next to a picture of me, i bet you'd think i was the one who was turning 50... and i'm 22, :-(. lol.

[corporateGH0ST]

That's why they call themselves Sonic Youth

[eeelectricboogaloo]

proof that noise is good for you. (:

[ragnatoad]

Great scene, haha.

Anyone who knows what guitar it is?

[kicksex]

i like the close up on his guitar strings where hes bending them up.

it shows his inner struggle.

:)

[machieaveli]

Really want to see this film.

[kicksex]

i think theres a link up there to buy it if you want it....

[druckman]

Funniest thing I've read in so long. I'm still laughing. !!!!!!!

[Lugak14]

Richard Hell and squid.

[djvartan]

Great clip

[vudon]

wierd..

[plasticrev24]

bizarre!

[heroinallure]

thurston tells the best stories.

[tomgpowers]

probably half of those records, are SY demo's haha.

but still massive!

this guy is an idol.

[OnTheLibraryComputer]

Wow what a record collection!

[palemegs333]

look at all those records! such an interesting story!

this guy is cool, the coolest of them all

he speaks well.

[Teabonesteak]

I admire this guy, but he sounds like an idiot.

[xpostspikex]

thurston also sleeps with his guitar.

[easystreets70]

What year is that from? W'd be good to place the date.

[BassTrippin]

i want that record collection!

[FQuezo]

man, you read my mind hahaha

is that thurston's collection?

[videoguyy]

yeah but Thurston is so great, who cares if hes pretentious, he deserves to be allowed to be pretentious cause hes a great artist

[ZeppelinSun]

Dude, right on

I want to be thurston. Haha.

[ryharsth]

hes not really into squid, its a joke

[secretchimp99]

Never liked Sonic Youth that much -- although 'Sister' is a pretty good record. The minutemen were polar opposite of Sonic Youth -- they were real all the way. No pretension. Working class politically informed hardcore. You think Thurston ever gave a shit about El Salvador?

Check out this Minutemen clip: youtube(dot)com/watch?v=Etelkg­-WH3Q

[BoneMachine84]

I completely agree with you. I can't stand to hear thurston, or any of the members of sonic youth for that matter, talk. They always have to sound like they're being clever.

[Colcum]

I always thought that they sounded like goofball teenagers ... who happen to around 50 years old.

[suncity22001]

id love to get my mits on that record collection....

[beelzabubba]

If this was deleted, they made a mistake.

"YOU LIKE HELL?"

[FreakLonelySoul]

Thurston is a nice person ^^

[Rei450]

Thurston's so cool.

[rankanddefiled]

tosser.

[RevJPM]

From what year is this footage?

[jlp58mjp]

did they meet after d.boon died?

[superjules]

Bouj joint!!

[dickideal]

that's pretty funny

[pulpculchure]

favorited!

[Puncturedlung]

axe, hahahhaha his axe. hahhhahhahahahahahah

[jbearden]

mike's a nice person. he's the real deal babio.

[devolei]

have you ever been interviewed by a friend? You'll pull out yr guitar. You'll sit where you feel more comfortable. Thurston was probably showing the guy who was making the documentary his massive vinyle collection. Rawdaddy, yr a moron.

[rawdaddy]

no i won't. i'll pull out my guitar if i intend to play it. not to remind everyone that i'm an indie rock legend.

fellate yr idols.

[rawdaddy]

like it ain't enought that they film him in front of his uselessly massive collection ...he's gotta be holding his axe too

[sdp026]

His "axe"? Who is he, Yngwie Malmsteen?

[imaRobot1688]

that was a good reference...

[jeremywsp]

I too only eat squid(Now).

[Naturality]

Kim and Thurston are a great couple and Coco can play with Frances Bean :D lol. Thurston is a dude.

[mellysingsdoom]

"If I go to a booze joint, they'd better have squid". Nice anecdote there from Thurston.

[bassdrumdream]

he said "if i go to a boozh joint" - sounds weird, but the minutemen had a bunch of in-joke slang like that. "boozh" meant bourgeois, "mersh" meant commercial, etc.

[mellysingsdoom]

You're right, it is "boozh".  I knew about "mersh" and "mota", but not that. Thanks for pointing that out

[CrystalCanyons]

Shit...imagine having a record collection like that..

[cockfag69]

bad video, bad music, and its pron.

[Fradom]

Your YouTube handle is awesome. Great work.

[ManuelHung]

i have a feeling everything you do is awesome.

[benfranklin5678]

What do you listen to Cockfag?

[ManuelHung]

the steady drip of his drool dropping to the floor of his trailer

[mothermoore]

take a look at cockfag69 saves ,what a no brain hog smoker! te he he

[Alex456987]

Thurston is the epitome of cool!
