PIXIES - Gouge Away (Reaction)

[@leyvajoe]

If you give the Pixies a chance you won’t regret it. They are amazing!

[@Boomimel]

So good live!

[@cocosloan3748]

Pixies are not for black folk ...Also Nirvana ..GTFOH . Black fans ? LOL ...

[@Camothor10]

@@cocosloan3748 a little racist, anyone can love any music

[@elysehfm8797]

I can't believe nobody's requested any Camper van Beethoven yet! They go hand in hand with The Pixies for me.

[@lchamp7946]

Hell yes! Camper Van another excellent overlooked band. Cracker was more successful commercially, but Camper Van more creative imo.

[@breadnapkin]

yes, get into more Pixies

[@bigmike4436]

The song tells the biblical story of Sampson. Delila seduced him and cut his hair, the source of his power. He had his eyes gouged out. When his hair grew back they chained him to the pillars of the temple during a 3 day celebration. His hair had grown back and with his power he pulled down the pillars of the temple killing all his enemies. Pixies are the sum of 4 great musicians.

[@billacikalin8108]

The Pixies are one of the greats. They influenced sooo many other artists. Their sound was a new and special thing when it hit the scene in the late 80's.

[@DocRobert]

Love love love this band and song

[@rabbyte3824]

Pixies yes! Violent Femmes would be a good follow up

[@russianpaul77]

YES! no one reacts to the femmes :(

[@solidsnack2757]

Violent Fems is good

[@maine420grow8]

This album is always in rotation on my playlist.

[@bigredd4226]

As it should be😎🤟🏼

[@EricWoodyVariety59]

I love the Pixies.

[@maine420grow8]

Kurt Cobain claimed he got the whole quiet/loud thing from being a pixies fan

[@NxDoyle]

It was more a statement than a claim. In his final interview with Rolling Stone, Kurt said he was "basically ripping off the Pixies" in his dynamic approach to Teen Spirit. Kurt never spoke more specifically than this about the influence/inspiration Pixies had on Nirvana's sound. He was a fan, obviously, both of the Pixies and the Breeders. It ended up informing his decision to go after Steve Albini for the In Utero recording, given that Steve recorded Surfer Rosa for the Pixies and Pod for Kim.

[@maine420grow8]

@@NxDoyle I was going for brevity

[@Hexon66]

@@NxDoyle We don't really need Kurt to have said anything. We can hear it ourselves.

[@NxDoyle]

@@Hexon66 You wouldn't have picked it if he hadn't said it. He got it as much from Kim in her Pod/Last Splash times. But of course, Kim was definitely influenced by Charles.

[@russianpaul77]

More pixies!!!!!! Hey Velouria Caribou Ana Here comes your man Debaser Gigantic Sorry there’s just way too many. You really can’t go wrong with any of their albums/songs pre-2000.

[@ninjadeathpoet8181]

Agree with all the above for good measure, especially Velouria

[@mkmstillstackin]

Agreed with a third thumbs up for Velouria and Hey

[@lepainestsurlatable5299]

Their last albums are great too, especially the last one, Doggerel.

[@salishseacycling]

Love the Pixies! More please.

[@patches6309]

"Not many people bought a Pixies album. But the ones who did started their own band."

[@Bliggers420]

fuck yeah man please do more pixies!

[@dajerk7082]

The pixies, yes.

[@user-uo1qr6vn1q]

Probably should’ve done the album version, but I really enjoy some of your selections. You’re one of the only reaction guys that seems to do the really good shit from my generation (X), like the Pixies, Fugazi, Pumpkins. How about try “Ted, Just Admit It” by Jane’s Addiction or anything from Mike Patton. ✌️

[@ApexPredatorBoids]

As much as I typically hate live music, they fucking KILLED this song live in this version. "Exceptional performance" is an understatement. And Paz is such a cutie on bass.

[@larrypollard6486]

Pixies, Frank Black, Black Francis, The Catholics are all the same with Frank Black, love em all!!

[@bsegovia23]

Frank black has the best screams

[@lchamp7946]

It’s Like a bomb going off right?

[@tiffaniterris2886]

That base line is genius

[@vallarygroda5699]

Saw them on concert in the 80s “ underground music!’ Mainstream radio in 80s never really played hardly any alternative music until the grunge era in early 90s Now you here alternative all the time you got to check out more dive a little deeper😍 into their music they really are good .. Where is my mind, here comes your man , Debaser& Gigantic

[@holy_braille]

Teez the machine! Hardest working man in the reaction biz. Love from GA my dude. I get to watch like 6 of these joints a day because of you.

[@TeezMcGee]

Appreciate the love fam! Let’s go!

[@beatawallace5725]

No other band sounds like the Pixies.

[@juliocabral2084]

React to their song Gigantic if you haven't yet

Class the PIXIES great albums great live....check out Sonic Youth & The Fall if you dig the PIXES Y'All.....to name a few ha !!!!

Dope!

[@mkmstillstackin]

One of my favorite bands of all time, bar none! Have seen them live a few times. exceptional. Truly a gift to have grown up listening to them. Thanks for doing this review.

[@antoniomarcos-wq3hz]

Uma das melhores bandas ,pixes .Não mim canso de escutar ,Amo todas as músicas até hoje com 50 anos.

[@jameshannagan4256]

They were a huge influence on some of the greatest bands ever Nirvana and Radiohead for a couple.

[@hivedrops8326]

This song was a big inspiration for Smells Like Teen Spirit

[@elysehfm8797]

Hey Teez! I don't know how I missed this but I'm always in for The Pixies. I prefer studio to live, as usual. Mad YT took away the search button on channels. Hope you're well, buddy!

[@RubesGoodBrainCoffee]

I got the album this song is from when it came out. I tried so hard to share it with my friends and dorm mates, but to no avail. Then, the Pixies broke up. And then Nirvana released Nevermind. This song, incidentally, is about Sampson and Delilah.

[@ERIC-65]

Do more PIXIES ! Yeah .

[@alexandra4334]

Love songs that have soft chorus and loud verses.

[@lepainestsurlatable5299]

So you love Pixies!

[@maine420grow8]

oh, I got some alright

[@Duci66]

Perfekt Grunch!!!!

[@MaddBaggins]

Listen to Hey and The Happening. Couple of great Pixies jams.

[@codywilson2629]

Hey man. Awsome reation. If you do more pixies you should try number 13 baby

[@aidanhealy4907]

you should react to i bleed by the pixies

[@coreyfisher2542]

Yes. Keep going. Check Alec Eiffel.

[@peytonwinstead3412]

Just subbed up. Enjoying the content, man! You should Try "Hey"! My favorite dong of all time :)

Yessss… Hey! I can play that on loop for a nice 10x of Pixies brilliance.

[@CEllis1036]

[@bsegovia23]

Yeah buddy, did it live too! This is better than the studio version for me Check out Hey live back in the 80’s. I

[@mickeydrennan1576]

Song about Sampson and Delilah...

[@bigredd4226]

Listen to The Happening by the Pixies dude, you won’t regret it🤟🏼

[@ninjadeathpoet8181]

Like I’ve said along bro, do “Where Is My Mind?” but be prepared

[@sallyh5413]

While this performance is incredible, do yourself a favor and listen to the studio recording, it's better to hear the original band members as well(Kim Deal.) I agree with others, check out Ana, Gigantic, Velouria, Hey. And Kim Deals Band, the Breeder's song Cannonball.

do some stuff by cake,, or monkey gone to heaven by the pixies

This actually encapsulates a time when I was actually able to see them live. Hence the request. And I think they performed on point here.

Not the original bassist.

[@billacikalin8108]

It's just not right without Kim.

Aww c’mon, Paz is alright. I hear you though.

[@mkmstillstackin]

If she was replaced by anyone other than Paz, i'd agree, but Paz tho?.....she's held her own.
