Pixies -Monkey Gone to heaven on Letterman

[esccroto]

that fucker whit the piano ruined the song

[platinumluigi]

frank's voice changed. Can't really scream like he used to.

[Ershatz8]

@platinumluigi That happens with age, and probably a long time with no practice while they were split.

[retingsteven]

MAN IS 5 (ALIVE), THEN THE DEVIL IS 6 (SEX), AND GOD IS 7 (IN HEAVEN)

[blindsquirrelandnoob]

At a gig in 2005 Black came on stage to start the gig on his own with his acoustic guitar. Starts Where Is My Mind and the crowd starts moshing to the chords. This is when I realized that he's a genius.

[Skateplaysleep]

Yes. Just yes.

[Avinashda]

Kimmy sounds drunk 

[scroticle]

Why was paul Shaeffer's gay little bit mixed so high?

[MrRosstifarian]

@scroticle thats not pauls gay little bit, thats actually in the studio version, and its quite noticeable in that version too

[purpletoesocks11]

They  keep getting riper with age

[TheLastCharmander]

They should play the first verse for all the assholes at BP. It's almost like the Pixies predicted the future.

[JULIOSTOMUS]

Por fin los Pixies en México!!!!

[jungrobot]

Actually the three guys all look great bald...it suits them.

[meezus]

At least Kim's not bald by now. She's still hot.

[JohnSmithAprilMay]

debbie harry joke?

[andywarstarforever]

@meezus when kim is bald the sea will turn blood red and there will be a plague

[KarmaNinja69]

It looks like Frank Black, the keyboard player, and the drummer are the only ones just chillin' and rockin'. The other guitarist and the bass player look like they're too worried about something... they just don't seem relaxed. Call me crazy--I may be wrong... Love the song and the video, just love them!!

[cleomagoolando]

@KarmaNinja69

The bassist and guitarist are the shittier hack hanger-on musicians in the group. Kim Deal has actually become a worse player and singer. Neither of them have tried to improve their playing/writing in over twenty years. For Frank Black, this music is effortless and all the more easy because he actually likes singing and playing guitar.

[TheNadster2]

@cleomagoolando I reckon David actually got a little better at drums

[GREENPIXIE74]

Can't wait to see them during the Doolittle tour

[lepaul2002]

tame

[dingaling24]

am i the only one who noticed all the guys are bald?

[korbsmith]

can you stuff your elbow up your ass?

[dingaling24]

what's that got to do with anything?

[thecall4]

so good.

can't really categorize them.

as catchy as any pop. and as fuck you as any punk.

i guess that's why they're called "alternative". in the truest sense.

[aw19g]

One of the greatest bands of the last 20 years. Also, there is not alot of hair on these guys...GO THE BALDIES.

[goblinking169]

love the pixies

[thegreatbass]

Did anyone else crack up at 2.45 when you can see Paul Shaffer's head bopping along to the song? Anyway, Pixies absolutely rule!!

[AgentAlloy]

i'll settle this now, frank has always been on the hefty side and little hair, and pretty much everyone else in the band is in great shape

[lordofoats]

Yeah, but I don't remember Frank ever looking so much like Karl Rove.

[sonvolt77]

Do people realise how good and influential the Pixies really are, I don't think so.

[theonlytruepunk]

They should change their name to Old and Fat! Hahahahahahaha...

[Hellion90]

Musics not about theatrics......Go turn on MTV if your worried about all that stuff.

[theonlytruepunk]

Holy fuck! Another person with no sense of humor and a lack of intelligence.

[klitschkobrosfan]

Please enlighten me. How is saying the band should change their name to Old and Fat either a sign of intelligence or a sense of humor?

[klitschkobrosfan]

I believe one of the 1st rules of comedy is getting someone else to laugh besides yourself. You might want to check that out sometime as well as the definition of idiot. Might see a picture of yourself in there--- next to idiot. ----> Hey now that's comedy!

[theonlytruepunk]

If you can't do it, maybe you need to have it removed by a doctor??? Lighten up, retard!

[klitschkobrosfan]

You clearly just have enough brains to say that someone else is stupid or a retard. But, I have to congratulate you on that, because that is far above what I would ever imagine of your ability. It's the equivalent of a rabbit learning how to multiply and divide. Keep up the good work, we're all proud of you.

[theonlytruepunk]

blah, blah, blah, blah...

[BrendanIsCool]

just shut the fuck up already

[theonlytruepunk]

That is what I have been saying!! Way to go Brendan!!

[DRUMKIND]

Paul Shaffer TRICK...

[Crackerdamus101]

if god is seven then morgan freeman is eight and the pixies are 9 and 10

[amnuzzy]

haha yeah i was gonna say kim looks hot i'm surprised. but this is cool to see the pixies. i just watched their first appearance on letterman too.

[kgesme21]

Man, even after all these years Kim is still quite hot.

[EdwardGein69]

gross.

[nklslinde21]

when he yells it's weird but cool

[sonicdaved]

what the hell mean Monkey Gone to heaven

:/

[goplacia]

this monkey as in "I have gone to heaven" as in the number 5

[matatoe]

hahahaha

[Mineav]

God is most certainly seven. I have no idea how the hell you quantify a God, but nevermind that business.

[steelerfan397]

i'm pretty sure "the man is 5, devil is 6, and god is 7: part is a biblical reference. here's Black's take on the meaning: "It's a reference from what I understand to be Hebrew numerology, and I don't know a lot about it or any of it really. I just remember someone telling me of the supposed fact that in the Hebrew language, especially in the Bible, you can find lots of references to man in the 5th and Satan in the 6th and God in the 7th. [...] I didn't go to the library and figure it out".

[BusterDwarf]

Kim is absolutey awesome.

Is it me or is Black looking more and more like an egg as the years go by?

[Cruentus1]

He looks like Uncle Fester.

[littleroomrecords]

van morrison maybe?

[roberttoddtv]

Kims quite hot, wonder if frank ever screwed her.

[klitschkobrosfan]

I don't know but if he was being frank he would have said something by now.

[kendalchen]

Why do people wear those terrible leather coats like Frank Black has on?

[Soniclife91]

because black francis wears them

[staphinfection]

Hhaha... Way to go Paul. Added some nice lil touches to the song.

[boogiddy]

Kim Deal rules but she should shave her head.

[saladdays1983]

haha, I was about to post something similar.

[interpol1987]

joey's so awsome. he just stands there like nothin and makes the gnarliest noises ever with his guitar

[progjunky]

man, joey looks like somebody's got his family backstage with a gun up to their heads unless he plays that guitar solo.

[interpol1987]

frank black kidnapped them and is gonna eat them. and joey's lookin at the camera like "somebody help me. call interpol :-S"

[rhianyesssss]

i lol'd

[EdwoodCA]

@progjunky He's never been very animated, but damn, I actually laughed out loud. 'Cause your comment is some pretty funny shiat, right there!

[marokokisetter]

thanks for sharing the footage.. it seems like frank is singing the same part as kim now.. haha.. the david letterman keyboardist/band leader played some synthetic strings.. haha
