Pixies - Hang On To Your Ego

[ncf1]

nice!

[Connradd100]

daddy like

[McDutchie]

Hmm. This is painfully bad. Too bad Frank didn't wipe the tape. He's released other demos and they are usually great.

And no, this is not the Pixies, you blithering morons. This is Frank Black in his home studio with an electric guitar, a drum machine and a multi-track tape recorder, trying some stuff out. How anyone could think this sounds even remotely close to the Pixies is beyond me.

[yellochub]

this is great! you morons slamming it for not being perfect need to understand why musicians record demos - to put down some ideas quickly, without taking the time to work out every detail. this was later recorded professionally, but here it was likely recorded on a 4 track cassette recorder. your effort on the same gear would pale in comparison

[FucklyDuckly]

@yellochub "your effort on the same gear would pale in comparison" This is so very true. You said everything I was about to.

[WhiteKagu]

This is an EP mix. It is Charles Thompson, aka Frank Black'

[vichofm]

es tan mala esta wea, pero me encanta.

[bauhaus2121]

this is totally the pixies version good find this so awesome good find love this song love it this great i love this you can always tell dave lovering and the pixies guitarist my brain is on fry mr rodrigues love, william "the joker"

[UHandsomeDevil]

@bauhaus2121 I love you!

[Rabooie]

You are aware this is a Beach Boys song...right?

[jammmon]

this sucks cock

[dklustick]

I love the pixies...

but I hate how they fucked with the beach boys original...

It was one of the beach boys more darker songs in minor,

Yet one of the darkest bands in history decides to play it in major, and off key most of the song....

Brian Wilson is rolling in his living grave. haha

[jim25shwp]

@dklustick Totally agree, this is disappointing. Doesn't sound like they have put much thought into this.

[Okiemom50]

were the chord mistakes intentional or true mistakes?

[sirpaisley]

I believe this is the Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV version.

[elfdude06]

Hey geniuses, Frank Black was a solo artist after the Pixies and recorded this song for one of his albums. This is an earlier version with the Pixies band...obviously it is Frank black, but not the "artist/band" of Frank Black. Get it?

[nazaxprime]

@elfdude06 And originally it is the Beach Boys. Frank recognized greatness and showed a lot of love with this. It only took me 15 years to realize. Ignorance is a "funny" thing, and I don't mean I'm laughing about it. Yeah, I get it... At least this time.

[Daburcor]

Wow! I wasn't aware there was a Pixies version of this. Sweet!

[Castrombe]

I'm pretty sure this is the Pixies before the split but those drums are Yamaha-tastic so who knows who's playing what

[veloboy]

This version works for me. I think I like the song whether it's the Beach Boys, Frank Black or the Pixies.

¡Hang on!

[YTWanderer]

love the pixies but this sounds way off

lol :-)

but thanks for the upload !

Frank Black version is awesome !

[mrdavidbowie]

Never knew it existed beyond the Black solo version. Interesting to hear. Cheers!

[chalklava]

I personally think both versions are great in their own way. 2 totally different genres...so, who cares if one is "better" than the other!

[emersontotalyconfuse]

The beginning of the song to 0:25 seconds, remember things of the powerful Sex Pistols and Sid Vicious. Punk rock/punk metal/punk pop 4ever! :)~

[vajyna]

I like the Frank Black version

[54129]

This was recorded in a mobile studio while they were touring in the early '90's.

[basural]

Great tune !!

[MrJihadjared]

i like both :3

[scorpiovike]

@MrJihadjared that makes you an idiot.

[MrJihadjared]

@scorpiovike wow quit the racisms

[BalloonAway]

tbh, i prefer the Frank Black version to the Beach Boys...

[walterpisante]

This is really bad.

[emersontotalyconfuse]

@walterpisante and what is good, emo? O.o

[walterpisante]

@emersontotalyconfuse SWAG

[Huddiethegreat]

meh

[LuffHandles69]

wow, never heard this. thanks for posting!

cool to hear this, it's like a proto version of the one that frank did on his first solo album.

[splendourful]

[bov88]

[bov88]

[oOovide0s]

no.

[trogoplumps]

If its the Pixies then it has to be Frank Black, I'm just fucking with you man...for your health.

[homegrowntwinkie]

@oOovide0s are you joking? this is obviously frank black. Black Francis. Charles. Whatever you wanna call 'em.

It si.

[stevexxx1985]

@oOovide0s yes

[Shuzafa]

who cares? ultimately it's a Beach Boys song. whoever did this didn't make it any different or special. the Beach Boys version trumps anyones.

[wwgt]

yeah dude this sounds great
