Sonic Youth - Silver Rocket Live

[supermirtilla]

my favourite tv performance !!!!!

[DRUMMERLORD95]

i'm 14 and i love sonic youth aswell!

[supermanJOEL2]

the lyrics are diffrent

[18caly]

Damm ..... i ´m 14 and Sonic Youth definitely ROCKS !!!!!

[SYR81]

besides that one performance they did on "the year punk broke" where lee threw his guitar this has to be the second best performance just because its total trash guitars. i thought thurston broke the neck of his guitar at one point in this video.

[TheDanSandwich]

That's exactly how I play guitar.

[jazzmaster341]

Thats exactly how you wish you played guitar ;D

[pipolo1516]

poor quality sound

stills ROCKS

[afrodyta10]

I ♥ KIM ♫♫♫♫♫

[herny69]

kim=mega babe

[brian4480]

.......is this a form of English?

[lazyscience123]

Fluffy kittens.

[sdmcnca]

Holy Crap....you people are getting really hostile...would you just chill and let SY be SY and find yourself realizing there is nobody doing what they have done for as long as they have done it and show your respect towards them instead of busting on each other......wow. If you bust on me I swear to the punk gods I will make you look like one of their victims in Death Valley 69. (ha, ha, have at it schmos.....) I love you. Shane Duhe

[wiremu]

Hey Shane, you make a good point, and the punk Gods would never let me diss you!

[brian4480]

and as for the "faggy fenders" they play...E. Costello, BOTH Mick's, J Mascus, Kurt Cobain, Robert Smith..the list can go on...they all play jazz and jags, i guess they suck too right?

[trevornish000]

my favorite sonic youth song

[minarw]

definitely a band to see live

[wiremu]

I saw Sonic Youth play in london in the 80's-they spent 40 minutes tuning their faggy Fenders and then played shit with a "fuck off" attitude. Assholes.

[brian4480]

cool......thanks for the info bud. hey wanna go to the skynard show tonight......they rock right?

you fucking tool

[wiremu]

Ha ha you stick with your art schoolfaggotrock blowjob, the only contemporary American band worth anything is Fucked Up...Actually Robert Smith has his own design, made by Schecter. when I saw Nirvana in Italy with about 50 other people he played a Fender, but it sounded like shit. I have a '82 and a Les Paul, and I prefer the latter. Hey Brian- when you go to the shows do they let you bring your own Kleenex back stage?

[brian4480]

god your a tool, Robert Smith just now got with the custom shtter he played a white jazz-master from the beginning you goober. OH and when did THE ROLLING FUCKING STONES become art rock???? Your post proves that you know NOTHING about music...go burn in a Ted Nugent fire with your crap less pall you cock rock loving bag of dicks.

[thewho60]

Fucked Up is Canadian. Just sayin'

[wiremu]

Yeah mate-just winding people up...he he.

[MrElationRx]

Fucked up is great.

[LemmYFRT]

Kim Gordon is hot

[LemmYFRT]

I love these guys im gonna go see em live on the 28th

[rc12069]

proper love this band. no bullshit or dicking aroujnd

[fretsonfire666]

Steve Sheley is very fun on drums.

One of the greatest drummers!

[PVCVIDEOLA]

Is this from your tape or another source?

[Rockstarr27]

This is the best video ever, and i love how the guitarist just throws his guitar on the floor at then end end.

[cccarl]

sister!!!

[kalemarefrite]

okay time for some "sonic" discution:D

daydream nation or sister?

[liwomilk]

BOTH !

[kalemarefrite]

that answer doesn't count :D that's to easy :p

[liwomilk]

Ok so i would say "Daydream Nation" because i can't live without his album.

But Sister goes futher in their concept Ithink.

[Marlenolomo]

I say daydream nation as well... but there are days I prefer sister.

[subsamadhi]

ha! THis is on the David Sanborn show Night Sounds, for those of you in the wonder.

[isabngeryer]

Nice try. Keep it up check out esteembpo + com for social media marketing. rghwrykt

[znubzz188]

when was this?

[Carlospm93]

Ese intermedio suena tan psicodelico y genial a la vez..Increible Cancion

[Pasta0fMuppets]

Would be great if the audio didn't have an abysmal bit rate.

[blacck73]

me gustaria saber un poco mas de la historia de esta banda.......la encuentro excelente.....

[drgals]

look at thurston... he feedbacks the guitar as if he was teh master of the universe :P

[JabezWilsonMusic]

he is

[econolibrarian]

What if Thurston Moore was the master of the universe?

[kalemarefrite]

i'd be happy :D

[wiremu]

Then Brian 4480 could be his little doggy-poop-pick-up-geetartek.

[brian4480]

what the fuck are you jibbering on about..I knew NZ had a lot of dumb ass people but that is just silly is that even a real word? its that like NZ slang or some shit like that....and no i dont need any kleenex...after me and the band are done pissing in your moms mouth she cleans it all up like a good gutter slut

[wiremu]

Hey there! The difference between you and me is that you looked up my account info and I just would not bother.

Sonic Youth take themselves way too seriously, as you do. Actually the Stones' were considered "art school" and middle-class where as The Beatles, (their contemporaries and "rivals" for many years), were pure working class. Read about Brian Jones. Check Throbbing Gristle's "Godstar". I can also give you a bit of gossip about Eric, Ronnie and his Russian girlfriend. Keep in touch!

[brian4480]

ya when i have a big rival I like to expose them to the world...you fucking jack off...the only thing "art school" about the stones is the attendence of one of the members....ill pass on your gossip, you'll try to pull some shit out of your ass like "punk was invented in the the USSR in the 50's" or some bs like that. BTW there is a bigger difference between you and me...my mom doesn't like to drink piss and my uncle is not my brother in law.

[wiremu]

Hi brian, boy are you easy to wind up.

I think we can all imagine you sitting there dribbling into your keyboard. You are a class act.

[brian4480]

let me guess you like winding up people right????? But hey, if you dont mind getting your ass pwned while doing it i guess you can think anything you want.

[liltimmyreece]

Sometimes the feedback is my favorite part because it builds tension for the satisfying recall. I love Sonic Youth.

[MechanicalBeing]

ARE!

[yozeroz]

eargasmic

[heyled]

OH GOD! it's absolutely amazing!!!! it's just way too cool, I can not stop watching...

wicked!

[LesterStone]

Pure noise, I love it!

[econolibrarian]

Yeah. I saw them in '89, '90, and '91 live. Best shows ever. They would retune their instruments, go on an improv feedback jam, and then that would emerge into a great rendition of one of their tunes after about 10 minutes. Awesome live music.

[bartocorleone]

finally... after years and years of eternal wait... i'll see them live tonight... shit... i`m static

[SonicDominic]

Lee is free.

[TheTetrarch]

I had an eargasm.

[GenericInsect1979]

Why are most of the sonic youth videos in appaling quality?

[JanRoger1977]

so that other artists on youtube can stand a chance.

[Jejeeeje]

night music program

[koolguy1029]

best live performance ive ever seen

[tarheel8494]

koolguy, it's a great great performance....but best you've ever seen?...get out and see some more shows....lotsa good stuff out there...and SY ALWAYS kicks live...I saw em on the washing machine tour...was tremendous.

[koolguy1029]

shoulda said "seen on youtube"

[tothefinlandstation]

Pretty awesome. But the sound is amazingly over-digital sounding even by YouTube standards. :(. Wish someone would post a better version.

[BeastClouds]

saw thurston on the lower east side last winter and really didn't know what to say. he was coming out of the bar that i was going into, my friend had just done the art for a recent album that he put out with a few other guys...i just said "thanks for getting me thru my youth" that about sums this band up for me.

[yeahrocker]

that green jacket this great Thurston Moore

[hydroxxx420xxx]

Shonen Knife

[barknet842]

one of the greatest bands of all time. the most underrated for sure

[ofz2222]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooow!!!!!!!!

awesomee!!

the best live video ive ever seen!

[koolguy1029]

fuck yeah

[Jejeeeje]

noiseeeeeeeee yeahhh!

[dfogonza]

What a band, what a sound, what a style, what the fuck!!!

[koolguy1029]

way better than the studio version

[mothercruncher]

Man that was awesome- I need to go out and wreck something!!! Damn!

[KariiKarKariiyo]

Wondrous.

[FransLeonard]

Geweldig! Wat een energie! En een lesje feedback...

[amespektorwainwright]

great performance. i adore thurston moore

[frankcv472]

Awesome performance by the masters... 5 stars!!

[tbzeee]

transmitting live from mars...they were doin this shit WAY before anyone cared...and yes, this was on NETWORK TV...sonic youth are still around, give them your money they deserve it

[krebdj]

woah so intense. cool manager lol.

[herbleus]

this guys know how to rock

[alejandro15187]

holy shit that noise breakdown in the middle was amazing. Sonic Youth have always been the best at that.And to be able to come out of that part of the song right back into it like theydi is just fucking masterful. No band then or now can match. God I wish I could do that

[KentAllard]

who is the pimp playing keyboards?

[UltimateVenom]

it says at the start

[SimonRamone1]

lee is so cool especially 0:37 - 0:45

[bassist4141]

Epic..I might have to rewatch

[degaulle30]

Any amateur band would have given up after practically destroying their instruments. These guys know their capabilities inside out.

[cerdosenelpastel]

sonic youth the best

[diamondsea3]

one of my favorite live performances ever!!

[LhisesII]

you don't see brainmeltin' stuff like this anymore

[alejandro15187]

agreed

[milleralive]

Crazy stuff.

[SmashPumps]

That is the most intense feedback effort i've ever witnessed (@1.40) SY!

[dialblova]

not even....THE WHOLE FUCKING BAND IS INSANE...........

[dialblova]

man...........thurston is sick.............

[meltingriffs]

Thurston Moore only wears clothes sewn by the strongest women, therefore he now has the strongest clothing! genius!

[speakofthedevil94]

sonic youth is great

i wish people in my area knew a little bit about this kinda music

shame shame

[hippysunchild]

same here middlebury IN sucks for music

[speakofthedevil94]

yeah i the only weird thing is im in LA

when i moved here i was like "wtf" what happened to the scene?

like indie punk or anything would be nice

theres nothing for teenagers anymore

[tomlyoldhappyderek1]

Where I am now all people fucking care about is Dave Matthews!Fucking Connecticut.

[speakofthedevil94]

yikes

i would go insane

yeah people here are obsessed with that metal shit

like speed metal

yuck

i want to be in a scene somewhere so bad

like the seattle scene in the late 80's

where everyone would go to the coffee shops and hear kids play and partys and stuff

this millenium blows

[supersound92]

Hmmmm i think you guys are just not looking hard enough for a scence or are too picky instead of just bitching why dont you try harder to find them

[fjallman90]

nice to know there are more people who feel like this in different places

at least you can sit in your bedroom and daydream about sonic youth

[godis4sale]

People who are into making or listening to this type of music are usually people who are into art. If you want to find music like this, or at least music made with this sort of mentality you're going to have to move to a place where there is an art scene. Where the art goes, the music follows.

[tomlyoldhappyderek1]

I can't move anywhere, I'm 15 and living with my dad... for now.

[TesseractIV]

I love these guys!

They always put so much spirit into their performances.

[Stratoblaster7]

there so fucking goooooooood........when and where was this filmed? anyone know?

[AlmigthyIsDead]

their manager looks like a pimp

[diamondsea3]

this is my favorite live performance ever! I fuckin love it so much!

[ratm111]

seriously, these guys/girl are genious. WHo thinks "hye let's lets smash my guitar into something and see what it sounds like" SOnic YOuth is amazing!

[mostlyharmless11]

plenty of bands do

[AlmigthyIsDead]

OMG the part where thurston(strange first name?) bangs his jazzmaster in the floor serously gives me an erection...Oh god I'm watching it rigth now. I wopnder how they ever got to do this on letterman,,,

[TheTetrarch]

So electric! This song does it for me every time. Live version is even better.

I don't know what I'd do without Sonic Youth :)

[Kimbercakes]

that; was probably the best live song I've ever seen

[blaxsk8er]

i feel like a loser..its been awile since ive listen to some raw ass "ima wipe my poo on your door step" rock..haha..i love these guys

[lethalsponge]

MrRobotoToo, please burn in hell.

[bleach6bleach]

TEENAGE REBELLION GO PUNK!

[hydroxxx420xxx]

wasnt it 1:39 where Lee runs to his pedals? Never seen em live but i could imagine the work they have to do to fuckin make crazy ass sound

[hydroxxx420xxx]

pretty fucking awesome. best formula ever for post punk

[scarface5463]

isent kim kinda similar to a female kurt cobain?? love sonic/nirvana

[musicalchainsss]

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

[LionsTigersAndTrouts]

Sum 41 sucks balls. :]

[akis723]

loooooooooooooooooooooooolllll­ll you're the boss robo

[MrRobotoToo]

Finally someone who understands sarcasm!

[Heartshapedbox0888]

fuck you you mainstream bitch who knows nothing about music.

[liwomilk]

in France they're like Gods !!!

[mecca421]

what kind of guitar pedal is making that awesome sound.....sounds kinda like a big muff, but mine doesnt sound that good

[stopthrm]

some kind of harmonic percolator?

[herny69]

a flux capicitator is making those noises

[BillyCorganlikespie]

Amazing

[GiggyStardust]

This is one of my favorite youtube performances from any band.

[xAULISx]

Sum 41 are to Sonic Youth what Paris Hilton is to let's say Aretha Franklin... To even mention S(c)UM 41 in the same sentence as Sonic Youth shows of total lack of musical knowledge whatsoever...

[goodgrief47]

I think they are amazing....not enough people likes them

[Pycanco]

My Gosh this is so cool

[guitarlicker]

this is my favourite sonic youth song...second is bull in the heather

[Rubo41]

Maybe thefilmer I don´t know....

But how can you said sum is not a good band? Original doesn´t mean good....they are not 100% original but the kick ass and do good stuff....their chuck album is amazing....and yeah they write their songs and all this things....

[GazeMeShoes]

omg, talking about sum41 on a sonic youth video..... boooed!

[TheFilmer]

rubo41... noise is art as well, the noise that sonic youth makes is not noise coming out of their asses, its orchstrated to flow witht he song, if you take the time to buy a sonic youth album and give it a good patient listen, you will notice how well the noise goes with the music, it makes sense, but of course, you´d ned to have an open mind a diverse understanding to appreciate it.

[skateboardingandguit]

Rubo41 your an idiot

sum 41 first doesnt know anything other than powerchords, and cant write lyrics. Sonic youth is an actual band dumbnuts. They expanded (and still are) the limits of music, not playing shitty songs that noobs like you rave all about. So the next time you wanna hate DONT do it on this band.

[dudeitzkendal]

oh jeeze, sonic youth is one in a million and sum 41 is a dime a dozen

[adrocknlil]

Personally i don't think its wrong to like bands like sum 41, blink, or green day. Their music is artifical flavoring. As long as you appreciate the natural talents of bands like sonic youth. I'd choose natural or artificial anyday. Sonic Youth's music stills stands strong today, blows my mind

[alice9w9]

Thank you, adrocknlil!

[thedoors436]

seeing these guys JULY 4. fuck yeah. they're legends. i cant wait/

[AlmigthyIsDead]

is that fucked up stratocaster a fender? the headstock looks wrong...

[benwolf888]

WOW. Best part by far is when Thurston starts trashing his guitar and Lee makes his sound like a fucking alien saucer and then advances on Thurston, almost ready to attack him. Of course Kim is just standing in the middle being hot and playing a sizzling bassline and Steve is the only one keeping any sense of order with his steady drum beat. These guys are fucking awesome, simply put.

[welwise]

Awesome. Just truly awesome.

[kobain69]

sonic youth is the best

[guncontrolx]

go!sonic youth

[nellster66]

what a performance

i must admit, i canot stop watching kim gordan. im slowly becoming obssesed with her. XD

[HandsomeDead]

I'm just glad there are people that do understand Sonic Youth's greatness...

[Rubo41]

Well....I don´t try to look like an idiot...but I can´t understand the noise they are doing (not trying to ofense anybody) Its suposed to be music? Im only asking...Is this the sonic youth style? is strange...

And yeah im a huge SUM 41 fan....but its only cause they are a fucking great band...take a look at Chuck, their best album...

[nharvey590]

Your post wasnt a question. If you don't get it or understand it why would you post negatively on it?

[timkick]

It's their style of breakdowns probably. Or just another form of self expression.

[BOSIE321]

Sonic Youth are 10000000000 times better than sum 41 and about a million times more punk ( Punk is open to interpretation but this is more what i think punk is, original, creative and powerful.)

[nellster66]

oh dear god yes!

i hate it when people think that slimy, corperate, sell out, bitches such as sum 41 n blink 182 or greenday, are punk. man it sickens me.

[nellster66]

sum 41 are a primary example of boring, repetative, sell out music. just sticking to the comfort zones of unadventurous song writters.

sonic youth however, constantly pushed boundaries , regardless of who liked their music or whether it was going to sell, and were compleatly origional and exciting.

a truely great band

[axelsteel05]

Yeah...

HOMO!....

I'm done now...

[HandsomeDead]

Is Rubo41 retarded,

Sonic Youth are awesome!

Plus I spotted Son of Dork on his favourites :/

[WeeklyComicReview]

hahaha yeah he is a retard

lmao Son of Dork hahahahha what a clueless douche :)

[shmearo]

Coming from a fan of Sum 41. Try again ha

[Outoffocus1992]

you are right my friend rubo does not know what sonic youth it is! shame that someone can believe that! nice try rubo41!

[Rubo41]

This band is extremly pathetic---shame.

[Outoffocus1992]

hell yeah you are so right my friend!! how can someone compare sonic youth with that shit band like sum4524263 whatever its called! shame on you rubo41.

[Soniclife91]

you fail at life so miserably

[LionsTigersAndTrouts]

Sonic Youth are so different and original.

I can't think of one band I could possibly compare them to.

Amazing.

[SiGningdocuments]

does anyone have a better quality of this? if so please upload it.

[taylordesak]

j mascis breaking out the weed.

[anomolly]

holy fucking shit, sonic youth is god

[musicenthusiast86]

I wonder if she makes her own clothes that would be pretty cool.

[GreyM]

Best live performance of any song ever.

[czeal]

FUCK YEAH!
