    Kurt Cobain said " I was basically trying to rip off the Pixies. I have to admit it. When I heard the Pixies for the first time, I connected with that band so heavily that I should have been in that band-or at least a Pixies cover band. We used their sense of dynamics, being soft and quiet and then loud and hard."

    It's funny, they're one of those volcanic, lightning-in-a-bottle chemistry musical units where you couldn't replace any of the members, but unlike most of those groups where in their younger days they seem tight like a gang, the Pixies ALWAYS seemed like this awkward group of misfits on the verge of telling each other to fuck off haha

    • @sanchoquixote5518
      @sanchoquixote5518 Před 8 lety +281

      +mywhychromosome Have you seen the documentary of their reunion? That's well worth seeing, and it would totally support your conclusion, b/c none of them act like their buds with a single other band member. Like they all just met on some message board, and freakishly happened to have musical chemistry when they didn't care a whit about each other off stage.
      That may be a complete misimpression, but the doc has this sequence where they are all sitting around each other, but they're doing the equivalent of looking at their phones. Drummer is space drumming, some dude is reading.. I don't remember exactly.. but the gist is.. we have nothing more to say to each other.
      They seemed like they all had good professional relationships, but it was like an office where you would never hang out with the people you work with. But the music sounding NOTHING like that. It sounded like they were born to work with each other. Black's voice was perfectly complemented by Daal's and there was just nothing missing. I didn't blame anyone who didn't like them or thought they were too messy.. one of those bands where your emotions take over or they don't. So to some people, they're gods, and some people their just noise.

    • @mywhychromosome
      @mywhychromosome Před 8 lety +92

      Sancho Quixote That's a good point about the "some people they're gods, others just noise" thing...Pixies are almost a good 'test' band in that regard, to see if someone is on the same cracked mental wavelength as you are, because you can't 'learn' it, you either hear one thing or the other. As for the documentary, I did see it once years ago, and I remember being vaguely disappointed at the time that they were so awkward with each other, but I chalked it up to "well, it's a reunion years-and-years later, even the closest bands can get awkward like that when they get old". But the point I was making with this video was that it shows Pixies were ALWAYS awkward like that with each other, even in their heyday

See the work of 'young Kumar Gandharva' on YT or 'young U Shrinivas' to see these beings perform in their Childhood aged 9 and 12 respectively.

    You can really hear how Frank sings so damn loud that it distorts the microphone. When I saw them live I swear you could hear him louder just off his natural voice than he was on the speakers, especially when he really got into the howling. The only singer I've ever known to do that was David Bowie. Probably no surprise they where mutual fans of each other.

      Definitely!
      It may even be the best record of this song.
      For the last couple weeks I have been listening the other records of this song, yet I can't see any better one.

    One of the most under appreciated bands and yet they deserve so much more credit for their style and sound inspiring dozens and dozens of incredibly popular bands of the 90s all the way up to today. This band is a gem and always will be

    This is just fucking perfect. This is intelligence. This is the perfect balance between too much and not enough. For me (for me I said ;-) it's only my own feelings, nothing more), this song and this record ARE the masterpiece of the pixies.
    ("How Can you Say that !? And gouge away ? And where IS my mind??? Blablabla": not my words, some tracks are brilliant and I agree and I love a lot (not everything) of the Pixies.
    This is all about feelings, and we all are different 😊
    But what happened that day, AT the precise moment they performed, it's something a bit magical, something that can not be expected again. This is a masterpiece.

    This is one of the best song that ever been preformed. And I love all kind of music. But this is perfection. Damn. It is just something from another world. The lyrics, the desperation in the voices, the tone of the guitar, the haunting bass. I think this song will survive for a very long time. At least as long as humanity have left.
