sonic youth interview (rock express)

french TV (m6)

[@DOAJAM]

Well said....sick of record companies trying to push shit music down our throats...Long Live Real Music. Sonic Youth are class.

[@infiniteohm1758]

sonic tooth > everything ever

[@minedarea]

They're keeping progressive rock alive.

[@lloplop]

hey thanks a lot. I got everything they recorded at once, so a little overwhelming to find my favorite songs!! they are all good, but this song is particularly amazing!

[@Bobjb999]

Right. How about the line from a song from Daydream Nation, whose name escapes me: "Sometimes we freak, and laugh all day". -Sounds like a reference to psychedelics, perhaps 'shrooms, which many people find stimulates laughter.

[@filipecoutinho5706]

I like it how Kim says the band doesn't do drugs but you can tell she's lying kkkkkkk

[@Robinhoodarch]

The "Eric" refrenced in the song is a refrence to Eric Emerson, who monologued in an Andy Warhol film about an acid trip. Most of "Eric's Trip" is Lee's interpretation of the monologue.

Ah yes, but rumour has it Thurston's freakin' nick name/alter ego is "Euphoric Eric"!

[@tompasthlm]

Starfield road!!!

[@AppleOno]

Is the whole show that this live footage came from available? It sounds FANTASTIC!!!!

[@jas22]

@jeff3209 im sorry to say - ive sampled their songs from their last FIVE albums. i havent liked an album since "Experimental Jet Set...". it kills me, but i find them so boring. do you like their last 4 or so albums? id LOVE to get them, but i dont enjoy what i hear. even "murray street" i have so much trouble getting through. what a snoozer.

[@cactaceous]

Pot is not a drug. They used to be big potheads but doubt they still smoke after they all got kids.

[@Rotocristo]

kim is like whoah!

@nick4man3 I agree SY's lyrics are too often deliberately oblique & obscure to the point they communicate little or nothing too meaningful. They some times demonstrate they can sing when they want to (e.g. Kim's voice on "Kool Thing" is pleasantly restrained, instead of that irritating feeble-shriek thing she often opts for) . Similarly, they've demonstrated they can write affecting & comprehensible lyrics too when they want to. (e.g "The Wonder"). But it's too bad they don't usually want to!

[@musicglenn]

covers the mid-90's period which is not well represented on you tube. cool little video.

[@vacuumnoise]

awesome vid thanks for posting

[@Robinhoodarch]

Lee dosen't get the attention he deserves. Whenever Kim Or Thurston have vocals, they turn the freakin lights out on his side! I've seen this happen alot at their concerts. I love you guys but you got to let Lee shine a bit more. Daydream Nation had THREE of his songs on it, and look how that turned out!

[@jas22]

@idealtypical you dont have to apologize! but its cool that someone still has manners :) "thousand leaves'? no, i hadnt really listened to that one. what i will get next is: "Evol", and "bad moon rising". i might have had 'evol' years ago and had it stolen, i think. "the eternal" i do like, actually - i heard most of it on youtube.

[@ericgenestvideoclips]

Charles Gale? Anyone? nowhere on Google or anything.

[@watashiwanachodes]

@ShaneMacgowanFan93 i always tought they were/are since their music is so psicodelic and trippy. and by looking at them in concert thurston and lee and kim and steve they always look totally wasted/out of control like the sunday video for example

[@anysound521]

i did not write that and i never would write that my freind did-sigh- but i love sonic youth

[@boodge.]

Ahoy hoy. This is your eBay brother….

[@Bobjb999]

@fungamesss SY doesn't treat guitar playing as a joke,but too often they treat singing as a joke,sadly.This irritates me more with time,not less.Kim's worst offender,Thurston 2nd. A drunk homeless woman randomly pulled off the street could sing better than off-key-Kim does 70% of the time.Lee Renaldo should sing all their songs instead of just a few.He's the only one who tries 100%.Or else SY should become an instrumental band like the Ventures or Shadows of the '60s.SY could be much greater..

[@Bobjb999]

Lee Renaldo's best singer of the bunch,imo. But Thurston's & Kim's singing is too often almost throw-away,as if they don't care about singing on key,or even close to it!There are exceptions to this,proving they CAN sing when they try.Aside from beautiful geetar noise,SY also write fine melodies.Luckily melodic SY comes through on guitar,if not in singing! If only they placed more importance on singing, the way they do on perfecting guitar sounds,I suspect SY would be a much bigger selling band!

[@spacebase00]

What's the song that Ranoldo is singing?

[@fungamesss]

@Bobjb999 Yeah I've been struggling to really get into this band because I hate the vocals so much..

[@watashiwanachodes]

open question: are/were they drug consumers?

[@lloplop]

can anyone please tell me what song is playing at 6:28?

[@selvagemcidadao5636]

Like👍....

[@crappingtaco]

what song are they playing?

[@watashiwanachodes]

@bobzechikon ok fine its a shock to me i used drugs because i thought they were cool and used them.. i guess i was just being stupid isnt that right? and they ARE cool btw

[@amgsux]

I was a bit incredulous, too. Really? SY don't do drugs?

[@Bobjb999]

Hey, don't believe every rumour you read... It's a "rumour" I made up on the spot just as a joke in answer to your post. I didn't intend for it to believed as a possible fact!

[@garagedancer]

die, guitars, die!
