Lee Ranaldo: Sonic Youth brought New York music to the world

[@lucioandriulo9011]

Lee Is so cool and down-to-earth

[@existentialdraintest]

he's already 62, and still looks the same!

[@existentialdraintest]

sizzlemeat im not talking about his physical appearance, when I say that he still the same it's becouse he still acts like the same young dude that he was (even if his wardrobe didn't changed too).

[@cinemar]

I'm sure back in the nineties he'd love to have heard he looks 62.

[@bubblepopp5639]

I think what Sonic Youth added to "alternative" or no-wave, was a youthful sonic sound. It was different then what other ppl were doing, and very much in its infancy. It very much explored a sonic landscape. Everything from Evol, to the Diamond Sea, is very sonic.

Lest we forget *Confusion Is Sex + Bad Moon Rising*

Very cool interview with Lee Interesting chap

Most Indie musicians are the nicest people.

[@larrypaul9376]

He’s talking about sonic youth sound. Sonic youth sound is different from any band around. Just because there is other guitarist with experimental tunnings they will not going to sound like sonic youth

[@NOWtheband]

He's a good lad.

Why the fuck would he be hosting the Queen of England?

[@domdom9496]

I love Lee but he's wrong about Sonic Youth being original with punkish alternative tunings as Geordie Walker (Killing Joke) was already well onto that by the late 70s. Also Boyd Rice had already done experimental noise guitar with his home-made noise guitar contraption.

SY took it in a heavy and intense psychedelic direction, and it's likely that they hadn't heard any of that other stuff in the early 1980's. Non was known in Europe far more than the US until the late 1980's.
