I always thought Kim Deal has one of the best back vocals in the business. I am not saying she sings like Luciano, but that voice is just something else.
He's not a good guitarist? A good guitarist is someone who makes a guitar sound great even if he plays just one chord! That's why Joey Santiago is a great guitarist.
had front row seats, went to the August show 1989 Toronto at the CNE, they opened for Love and Rockets, The Cure... I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE PIXIES.. they blew me away..bought DOOLITTLE the next day on vinyl and still own... thanks for sharing this video
there was no weak link. her voice and bass style are a huge aspect of how great they are as a band. like i said, listen to pod by the breeders, it's so fucking good. her voice has something special. i think the whole band is great and would suffer without one of the members. it wouldn't be as good. just her backup vocals alone would hurt the band to be without. i'm a musician too since we're talking perspective. i love ringo btw. creative and influential drummer. unique style and personality.
Interviewer: "I get the sense that the songs are like experiments that you perform one at a time, you're putting them together. Is that an accurate way of looking at it?"
Listen to the Pixies second album then listen to Bleach you'll see the wicked similarities. There was a bucket load of great music totally missed because it had an alternative tag on it back then, Grunge came along as a tag and everything became listenable, timing thats all it was. You ask anyone that listed to JJ or JJJ in Sydney in 1990, you were considered well left of centre. Sunvolt, Guided By Voices, Died Pretty, Glide, Teenage Fanclub, Clouds checkout some of these bands you'll like it.
I love how, at the end, the camera pans to the rest of the band, who are just suddenly there, right next to Francis. I didn’t even know they were there.
you're the joke. i've been listening to them almost 15 years. i have every album on cd and vinyl and have every single lyric commited to memory. i saw the pixies live and they were great. kim's voice was beautiful and so was her personality.
