@@CursedEarthPizza Way before green day
@@CursedEarthPizza yeah Green Day ripped it off...
Christopher Digital :
Does ur mom know you’re on the computer boy? Green Day is kiddie crap. Grow up.
I am 63 and will NEVER get sick of this
I love you, Anne! :D
I'm 69 - ditto.
YOU ROCK
I’m 112 and have Frank Blacks face tattooed on my face.
63 myself,and love this!!
Crazy to think this song was written about the biblical tale of Samson: he was betrayed by his love (Delilah) and his eyes were gouged out by his enemies. He was chained to the pillars of a temple and ridiculed. Meanwhile, his hair (the source of his strength that Delilah had cut off while he slept) grew back. Over time his renewed strength allowed him to pull the temple down on those that had injured him. This song builds and builds, the baseline steady, till the crescendo of the story comes to the end, in a freakishly powerful way. I first heard this song back in 89' and was gobsmacked, "WHO ARE THE PIXIES?!" This live version might be their best version.
much better than that shite from tom jones
the eternal same story of love, betrayel, revenge and anger.....
I think of it as more of a bitchy mother in law or a bad friend. Thanks for the Samson reference.
The Samson reference makes perfect sense. It's exactly as the story goes from the Bible.
@@dcbeemon the lead singer, Black Francis (a stage name, can't recall his given name) in an Esquire interview said something like "Samson had his eyes gouged out by his enemy the Philistines in a time of weakness, explaining the title of the song... it’s the best song on the record.” Before seeing that I had wondered where the heck he'd gotten his inspiration. Wow, just wow.
And that's how it's done. One of the greatest records from one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
Any song that starts with a lot of bass you know is gonna be good
yss :)
Well said bass rules
I agree with you
I gave you one ok👍!😉
This song have to much power, also to much angry, and meoldy sound for me like kurt cobain Nirvana
1989, I'm 18 years old, seeing my first live band. Newport, South Wales, The Pixies.
You got to see Kim Deal I'm so jealous, how great was the show?
Congratulations, I envy you! Must have been amazing
Not a bad start.
TJ's?
TJs?
This version just feels so raw and aggressive and very emotionally charged like he's remembering why he wrote the song and the rest of the band is matching his intensity and the audience is feeling the electricity in the air and don't care and want to scream along, and do, and it's perfect. I can't even listen to the regular version anymore.
five years have passed, and last Wednesday I watched them here in São Paulo, Brazil. And they continue with that same energy and intensity that you described. Amazing SHOW!!!!
Best coment
Amen to that top performance.❤❤👏👏
@@christopherwest4580 Pixies got that Rolling Stones thing of playing loose but being so melodically solid that it feels right on the groove
This one is really good. Unfortunately it also proves Kim is not indispensable.
It's hard not to get goosebumps while listening to this
hell yes
True. What an emotional performance!
Their sound comes right from hell and mortals love it.
cool profile pic
It's amazing to still get goosebumps after a decade!
When even the legendary Bowie marveled at your band, you know you're good.
this is definetly the best version of this song havent yet found one that tops it
@@Rafa-ri3ul try this: czcams.com/video/7aSbf406xaw/video.html
@@Rafa-ri3ul czcams.com/video/tTTPv8_95KY/video.html
Takes some topping that!
I had just said the same thing the other day about the Arcade Fire
neither of those sound better to me
the first one has different bass mixing that i could hear how someone might think it sounded better, but the overall performance was not as passionate, especially the vocals like someone said
the 1991 version, they've just improved since then in my humble opinion... also the 1991 mixing is not gonna give it much of a fair chance, so maybe my ears just rejected it as i've been treated by 20 years of digital mixing
THE best version of Gouge Away out there. Makes my soul smile and my eyes almost tear.. Brutal. Beautiful.
Lol… you clearly never heard Kim live.
The best performance is this one: czcams.com/video/8wHoD8azJ28/video.html
This song always bring a tear to the eye. Its all about perspective. it makes you feel like a child standing on the beach on the ocean of infinity. Nothings gonna change my world... except the person looking back at you when looking into infinity. Thank you mates.
Seen em at Borderline were fuckin good eh x
My favorite on youtube too.
bro when i was 9 my dad offered to take me to this. I said no because i wanted to stay homea and play minecraft. biggest mistake i have ever made.
Yes
100%
So sad
You were 9, u wouldn’t have properly experienced it anyway. It’s same kind of decisions people make when they take acid at a festival instead of listening to the music.
I did a similar thing for a Ray Charles concert
Sometimes less is more. Just love the simple rawness of their music. I thought I would outgrow them, but here I am, 30 years later.
Word. loudQUIETloud
me too - still remember buying Doolittle in like 1989 or something and remembering the impact it had on me!
@@keithlennox44 Word. Nirvana took that groove and ran with it. Kurt was also heavily influenced by REM who did the same in a folksy way. Great bands back in that day that are rarely acknowledged for their artistic contributions but will be cherished forever, I think. Smiths, Cure, even early U2 was phenomenal.
Theres not many bands that have fans ranging from teenagers to old dudes that look like they escaped the nursing home to rock the fuck out.
yes. there are. Tool. Mogwai. Rush. but go ahead - gouge away. if need to.
Exactly my young man haha
@@morganlake41632 all bands you mentioned are on that list of not many
@@jaminmaki4243 Good point. Not many bands that have continued to produce new muisc over a 40 year span. I sit corrected.
I’m 58. I still hope that’s an option when I’m geriatrically incarcerated.😃
You big beautiful bald crazy man, thank you for the music
Damn straight
looks/sounds like uncle fester
He’s actually short but a great guy. I met him in Buffalo about 7 years ago, he was playing in a side project.
@@rickdeckard1075 And yet he's rich, famous, respected and dope as fuck, whereas you're a (very handsome, I'm sure) CZcams shit-talker. Funny how life works.
@@dinkaboutit4228 "rich dope", indeed...
I miss the 90's. Best music ever!
where would music be without the PIXIES
Nothing !
Go on Frank, you awesome screamy bastard
Hope he lives forever
To quote Mike Wolfe " that Black Francis is the best damn screamer since the original Star Treks Ensin Chekov" Car Stereo Review around '93
It's Charles, but so what
I love how in the final verse, the scream just takes him over - almost using up all the space for the remaining lyrics... ( 3:48 )
Makes me so happy to see young people vibrating with the Pixies... There is hope!
4 years ago.......
I am 15 and i love Pixies and i know all the songs
@@kaktuscz5034 you doing great my son ;)
WE WILL SEE......AT THE MOMENT.......
NO
gotta love em
This song gives me the chills! Love the pixies.
Oh, My brother, my dear brother, he left this world yesterday & this was his favourite song. Still remember when you were 14, I was 10 and you showed me this song. I was fascinated! You took me down the Rock N 'Roll path and thanks to you I developed my own musical tastes. Today, I discover that you left this world of your own free will, taking an overdose of pills until you were sound asleep. Dear brother, when I found out about that, coming to listen to this song was the only thing that occurred to me at the time, and here I am! listening Dark Necessities at 3 in the morning, while singing loudly and enjoying the music as if you are still with me to listen to it together. Brother, when you first showed me this song, you told me that we all had Dark Necessities hidden within us, but we weren't brave enough to show them to everyone. Now I understand it and I am sorry I understood it too late. I love you, brother, and I will always love you. Thank you for showing me these musical wonders. I will miss you today, tomorrow and always. Dark necessities will always be part of our designs, dear brother.
Sorry for your loss. Pixies and rock music will always be here even in hard times. Life gets better.
hope he found peace, RIP
dude please dont kill yourself
Bass guitar is bad ass. :D
bilguun itgel absolutely true
100% agree man!
Bass and drums...heaven. my car windows will blown away
Babass
I've learned how to play the bass because of both Kims. :)
This band gets better as the members age... I'm speechless. Definitely one of their best performances ever.
I play it over and over again
No they don't lol, some performances are still sick, like this one but a lot are pretty abysmal. Just because they are so sick and the band is not the same
The absolute rage in his vocals on this performance is addictive.
Radio six live lounge… Bellissimo
The very last band of my bucket list to see live. For some reason, at 45 years old, I've continually missed them since being a fan since 1989 when I discovered them in the 6th grade. I'll finally be seeing The Pixies in Los Angeles this October, 2022!
Saw them yesterday in Italy, I loved them! ❤️
Enjoy, man, I got to see them several times with and without Kim, it was always a great show. Check in, let us know after!
awesome
Saw them on Friday supporting pearl jam.... they were awesomeness personified.... enjoy
Seen them yesterday in Dublin,Ireland. At 41 years of age it was my first time seen them,unreal performance
Those two guitar notes and then the bend...proof of how minimal but perfect music ideas can be so powerful
you are so right, play the notes that matter
I was there. They were exceptional all night long. They barely paused between songs. Just a wall of sound for two hours
What was this venue ??
@@spacecaptain6720 It's at the Eden Project in Cornwall UK
Where was it?
@@sinfrsul Eden Project in the U.K.
you lucky, lucky, lucky, Do you ever realize how lucky you were!
The song is great already, I mean it IS Pixies. But kudos to whoever mixed this live recording. This is fantastic.
YES. Most people can't appreciate a thing like that. The mixing is outstanding.
dunno if it´s my speakers but the snare sounds awfully tinny
They Came to do a concert in my home town Johannesburg South Africa - and i gotta say the live show sounded better than their albums - it was mind blowing!! I dont know many bands that can pull that off..
Don't care what "purists" say, Paz is immense and I've been listening to this band longer than most! Not a boast, just a fact as I'm now rather a fuddy duddy!
Paz is legit a great bassist.. She was also great in A Perfect Circle...
Paz is incredible.... but she'll never be Kim.
Too bad he also fired Paz
Haunting back up vocals make this song work, incredible
If you ask the influence of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, Radiohead, Blur, The Strokes, The Killers, My Chemical Romance, and many many others, this band is the answer.
Intro definitely sounds like Offspring - Gotta Get Away at a slower tempo
Husker Dü
@@PipeD0d parents of hardcore 👨👩👦🛠️
Never forget Hüsker Dü
@@PipeD0d @Kevin that's the opposite direction-- Husker Du started in 1979, so they weren't influenced, but rather influencers (as BF has admitted many times)
Not sure what’s wrong with me today, but for some reason the crowd singing along at 2:26 brought me to tears.
I will forever love this band.
It even started at 1;40 for me ;-)
There's not a thing wrong with you.
Wow. It happened to me too. I thought it was nostalgia. I’ve been a fan for 32 years now. One of the only bands from that era I still listen to. I was 16 when I first saw them live as an opening act. I had no idea who they were and never heard anything like them in my life.
@@thirstyowlthethird9409 Right- there are certain bands you know will change your life from the first time you hear them....Talking Heads was the first one for me, then The Clash, and last but not least Pixies. About the only thing I like as much as Pixies is "Where is My Mind?" the Pixies tribute album, which I think is full of gems.
@@ogivecrush yes I love the tribute album. I also heard “Alec Eiffel” covered by band called the Bunnies ? which was amazing.
This is an amazing clip. Paz belting it out the end was haunting, and the best last verse of Gouge away I’ve ever seen. The whole damn band got ahold of that one. Wow.
My wife got me tickets a few years back, wanted to see them ever since I was a kid. I am pretty quiet socially, and even I screamed this song with the crowd.
They could run that bass for 47 minutes & I'd be happy.
Gouge away, you can gouge away
Stay all day if you want to
Missy aggravation
Some sacred questions, you stroke my locks
Some marijuana if you got some
Gouge away, you can gouge away
Stay all day if you want to
Sleeping on your belly
You break my arms, you spoon my eyes
Been rubbing a bad charm with holy fingers
Gouge away, you can gouge away
Stay all day if you want to
Chained to the pillars
A 3 day party, I break the walls
And kill us all with holy fingers
Gouge away, you can gouge away
Stay all day if you want to.
thank you!!
@@Rom2Serge have you heard of google
Samson
@@Jon-cw8bb no man i wrote a reply so this comment will have more responses and CZcams had lifted lyrics up in the comment line.
@@Rom2Serge as it should be
My favorite band of all time since I first heard in college in the 80's. I drove 14 hours to see them. And saw Frank a million times solo. Never a single regret.
Beautiful
Damn. Listened to it a hundred times or more. So good.
"Rubbing a bad charm with holy fingers". Fuck, what a lyric. Don't know why, slaps hard. Legendary song.
The simplest bass line in the world, yet the most effective one! Love this song!
concordo plenamente...eles conseguem fazer do "simples" algo "gigantesco" é por isso que sou fã até hoje...abraço! 🎸🙆♀️🥁
This bass line remind me "Lucretia my reflection" of Sister's of mercy
Their concert could just be 1 hour of that bassline + drums and I'd be happy.
His crackling voice makes makes it so much better tho.
Igual yo
A 4 minute intro would be great.
Bass line so like So far away from The Offspring
Can't help myself but listen to PIXIES everytime I get drunk.
Best version of this song I've ever heard!!!
That dude at 4:04 had no idea that one day he'd be the thumbnail for this song.
he seems to be that celebrity french chef
@@kentstructures4388 I always thought he looked like him.
Every time I see that thumbnail: Fred Armisen
It looks just like Eric Ripert. I was so happy to see @kent structures had the same thought.
@@thirstyowlthethird9409 aaaAaaAaAAAAAAAaaaaAaAAAAaaaaaaAAA
You have entered a superior level of music when you start messing with the pixies.
Facts
Sometimes music takes on a spiritual brilliance, this is one of those times.
Orgasmically Brilliant. If you don't feel that, you've nothing in you.
From that point at 3:30 when the guitar riff starts to taste metallic, you suddenly grow aware that there's no turning back to that lingering, and the orgasmic explosion is about to burst out.
Some synaesthesia happening here lol
This is so beautifully pretentious.
That's right, it rocks , I agree
These are the best moments when you're playing music live, when you suddenly feel that burst of energy that comes from every band member and audience member being in sync, and you can't help but just let out all of your force into your playing
Dont think just English native speakers love this! Regards from Mexico. we also can recognize a
master piece liket this one.
A lot of their earlier stuff is back and forth english to spanish
A huevo 💪🏼
I can’t remember how many times I’ve watched this video. It’s perfection.
Absolutely badass.
Will be badass through all time. Timeless. Fat, juicy, Bass.
I will never get tired of the Pixies.
The best vocal version ever ever
I was there with all the other ageing surfers reliving their dirty youth. It was awesome.
Regarding vocals, I agree with you. However, the bass is much better, even thru the song.
Year?
Were you there with Rosa?
I've been watching this a few times a day for like a month now.
Hell yeah! This my new favorite song! ❤😢
I miss the 90's, loved it!
Well, I'm 62 and I just found this. and you know what, I like this.
YAS
🤙🙏🎸⚡❤💯
Never too late! They are still touring, although the last time I saw them live was 1991.
My favorite version of this song. I watch it pretty regularly.
my favorite detail is the cable for Frank's in-ear monitor is taped to the back of his neck.
One of the greatest performances of all time.
This overwhelmed me with emotion and I started to cry. I haven't cried in years.
Feel better if you can
@Hobo Huan Gwenobi Just cause your dad beats you doesn't mean you have to take it out on us.
I cry every single time I listen to this particular performance,.
That's pretty weak and gay
@dickwhisker you're 🏳️🌈 too?
best alternative rock band ever, period!
What is Pavement for 1000, Alex.
Crazy Horse 90 years. .
@@FungusMossGnosis they were great but not the best. I saw them open for Sonic Youth, 1992 and they were really good. Back when they had that crazy "hippie" drummer.
Earlier than me, Joshua! I got to see Pavement play a couple festivals in 1993 and 1998. Never caught the reunion stuff. I wasn't into The Pixies then. Nothing against them, they're excellent, I just didn't have very eclectic taste as a kid. Most of my favorite rock bands were never played on commercial radio. I just said Pavement 1) to be a smartass and 2) because I genuinely think they represent what I loved in 90s music with a fuller range of songwriting and musicianship. Not the best, or most interesting, but significantly better than most, always, and probably the best of the "indie" bands that blew up in popularity.
Best band ever, period.
Quelle Basse ! ces changements (presque imperceptibles) de rythme (surtout dans l'intro) ! Wahou !
That bassline hypnotized my brain. I fckin love it.
Francis Blacks' Voice will stay with me in all eternity... i'll never forget what he did for me then, now and forever
Frank is a screamer- in a good way.
Will always be one of the best songs penned, rehearsed, and played.............Pixies live..... forever.
Best performance of the song without doubt
Imagine what life would be like without The Pixies ☹️
That bass is insane. Her tempo is soothing and chill.
But is it? Her tone is so mids-heavy and her pick-style is very light. She seems like she doesn't have much confidence. I'm not a fan of her bass style or her performance, but to each his own, I suppose.
@@BenWard29 oh I think she's plenty confident. Look up "Perfect Circle - Judith" here on YT.
Kevin Skomsvold exactly. Paz is well skilled! I think folk just want Kim back.... I’d love Cliff back in Metallica:( some things just ain’t gonna happen, so we move forward
J T ... That bass is average to say the least
It's fine, it's not her fault she's not Kim Deal
"Been rubbing a bad charm with holy fingers" is one of the best lyrics ever written.
I thought he said "horny fingers". I think my mistake also makes sense so I'm going to stick with it. :)
The song is about Samson and Delilah.
Samson is punished by God for wielding the jaw of a ass in battle; as a Nazirite he had taken an oath to keep himself sanctified, which meant (among other things) never to pollute himself by touching a dead thing. His holy fingers hence rubbed the bad charm, and so his unbreakable arms are broken and his invincible eyes are spooned.
The story ends with Samson chained to the pillars by his enemies, who celebrate in his defeat with a three day party. Samson calls out to God; his strength returns enough for him to break the walls and kill everyone, including himself.
Maybe the most explosive song never written... Powerful but on the reserve... I listened to it again and again, years after years since more than 25 years and it continues to give me thrills!
I would like to thank the pixies for all they give me.
His voice is so frickin powerful
Lucky to see them in New Zealand in March , just before the Pandemic hit. Epic gig.
You win lottery's too!?
I had tickets to see them in March in Sydney. I was literally jumping up and down when I got tickets, and walked around for months with a skip in my step knowing this show was coming up. Then out of nowhere everything went balls up, and they cancelled 2 days before this show. The right and responsible thing to do and all, but damn. Absolutely gutted.
Yep I did , living in a country without fucked up leadership, smashing pack the pandemic.
was planning to see them in Yokohama (small club) in MARCH 2020 ... then the shit hit, Pray for 2021, gotta see Black Francis....
Saw them in Glasgow in October 2019. They were absolutely brilliant.
The bassist is a beast, and they sound even better years on
Yeah, those 3 notes are a killer...
Lol
@@johnnycrapford8811 its about how the notes are played man. Its badass and propulsive, do you thunk this song woukld be better with fancy triplets, octave work and fills. It wouldnt. Bassist is great in the peter hook mould of bassperson.
also the backing vocals are sick
Would you know that this is a song from the 80s. Pixies inspired the 90s grunge sound.
Worst version I've ever heard going back to 1990....how to crush a masterpiece, so glad I haven't seen Pixies since the Doolittle anniversary tour 2009. Brixton. Look it up. Not the best ever but it was still seismic back then. Also Into the White.
@@jord.an6123 did you just unironically say "bassperson"?
one of the greatest songs from one of the greatest albums
IMO one of the best songs ever written, flawless. Stay all day if you want to.
if you like Pixies you should check out Lonely Gimmick - All Along the Watchtower, it gives me Pixies vibes and it's a great new single

The Pixies are one of the most underrated bands in history
Everything that has ever happened is underrated
The Pixies, underrated ???
@@vtrvr511 It's a buzz word idiots like to say.
Underrated??! They're one of the most influential and well recognised bands!
@@craigg5410 Only by people who actually know music and have good taste. The majority of people don't know them
My Pixies. My youth. My everything.
50 Years old. Listening to music for atleast 40 years. How could I have missed this? But I did. Shame on me. What a bloody great song!
Where have you been with your head,shame,shame,shame,lol. Pixies epic 👍😃👍
So far, I've watched it about 100 times. I mean it serious.
One of the best bass line entry's ever ..... very underrated band.
I mean, The Pixies are pretty well known to everyone that "gets into" music. If they're underrated then they're sitting just below the surface; everyone both within and surrounding Music loves The Pixies. They typify a sound ahead of so many others in their field. They have inspired so much that I challenge you to engage the world of musicians and become pleasantly surprised. They're great cover/warm up material. Get the juices flowing.
"Underrated" only in certain commercial eyes. Today they are still one of the best!!
The most exciting thing I've ever seen on CZcams. Just magical. Mark.
I love seeing all these dads dusting off their bangers and still getting the chills, I'm with my dad now in the kitchen and we're pumping it together at full blast, There aren't many songs that still make him jump around the room like this and i can see he steel feels young while earing this. Love from the new generation of rockers
There will never be a better version of this song, because you can’t be better than perfect.
Feels like there's something left, like this still isn't the top of the mountain.
반갑습니다
답방 왓어요
손 꼭잡고 함게합니다
신나는 리듬에 기분좋은시간 입니다 굿 👍
음악 잘듣고 큰 박수로 응원 합니다 ❤❤❤
un groupe que tous devrait écouter. un son qui vous décoiffe.
"I love the sound of bass in the morning!"
Seeing this band live is truly a highlight in my life
I’m forever grateful they toured Australia
I saw them twice at the commodore ballroom in Vancouver bc in the late 80's, thrilling to say the least
I’ve been enjoying music videos on you tube for so many years now… literally years of great music videos and live songs of the greatest musicians of all time and I’ve literally obsessed with shit on here sometimes replaying the same song over and over and over and I will put my hands down all time best live song of a band is this live version of gouge away! Thank you pixies! HAIL BLACK FRANCIS !!!! AND STAY ALL DAY!!!!
I loved this band when I was young, 30+ years ago. Can't believe how much time has passed. I used to bounce off the walls to their records. Incredible stuff.
Oh yea I remember !
Why is THIS song so addictive?😎
Half the audience weren't probably even born when this came out... What a testament to their timelessness.... Fucking Epic!
J'ai 46ans, j'écoutais ça aussi il y a 30ans, c'est toujours aussi bon !
We should probably go ahead and blast this bass line out across time and space as humanities swan song.
It's 3am, I'm drunk and earing this on repeat
Just checked and it’s 4am for me lad
Same with me with a couple of beers in me
moi aussi
Same lmao
Same here
man...the location, the sound..and frank looks so tired but explodes with such a power with a voice that´s better than ever. they definately aged well.
Aie aie aie fin des années 80 ça déchirait tout et c'est toujours avec un grand plaisir de les écouter, encore maintenant...
I feel like Santiago is bending space and time.
Love me some Paz Lenchantin. Her bass work in A Perfect Circle is legendary.
Just the imagine the two coming together.. I'd just about lose it.
she's just fantastic. and adorably beautiful
Exceptional performance !!!!
I get goosebumps everytime I hear this song whether the studio version or live....
Merry Christmas 2019, Black Francis thank you for all the songs, god bless you
I can't imagine a day without my Pixies, gotten me through a lot of tough times. I'll gouge away
Best performance iv ever seen of this song !! You can feel the gouge
My new favorite song..... Its been a long time since ive had one. Feel and know, Im late to the party, but im gald I found it. Thank you Kurt, for saying these guys were one of your influences. Gouge Away!
This song works better if youre a little fucked up. The MARIJUANA, and other drugs. Gouge Away, if you want to, ahna...
