Frank's voice isn't the same and it probably never will be but you know what? I'm not gonna hold it against' him cuz he's Frank freaking Black freaking Francis. The greatest songwriter for the greatest band. Most singers voices ware with age and knowing how much he's screamed, it doesn't suprise me that it sounds like it does. But his voice still sounds really good and i wouldn't hesitate to buy a ticket if they played a live show in my area.
The Pixies played here in Chile last Wednesday, the same day the 33 famous miners were rescued... They played 33 songs. Was the greatest ever, now i can die in peace.
Genius = someone who changes the way things are forever after they leave. Genius = Mr Black Francis. Genius= Mr Joey Santiago Genius =Mr David Lovering Genius= The one and only KIM DEAL!! I saw them when I was Eighteen in 1990. Started behind a red screen with Cecillia Ann before the redscreen dropped and they launched into Rock Music. Best gig ever, if only because I was Eighteen, but more so because they encapsulated perfectly how I was feeling whilst being Eighteen..
@ryandematteo I put Doolittle on for a friend of mine and he said "they sound just like modest mouse," I told him this album came out the year we were born. Then he said" Oh, then I guess Modest Mouse sounds just like the pixies"
Yes i know about that. He said he was trying to write the ultimate pop song and rip off The Pixies. He was just being modest. He used the idea of quiet verses and a loud chorus from them but the lyrics and everything else don't sound too much like them.
I didn't say they weren't a big influence. Someone said There would be no Nirvana without The Pixies but that is untrue. I've never heard him say it was based on Gouge away so if you have an interview or source of him saying this i'd love to read it. See cryptomnesiia has the right idea. It' s ok to like both bands or gasp! even more than 2 bands! you elitist self appointed judges.
@arouska Not shitting on the Pixies at all but every great band sounds a bit like some band that came before. Obviously they listened to music and would be influenced by it. It's inspiration. It's how they fell in love with music. For me the Pixies have always had a hint of Sonic Youth. At least Nirvana and Modest Mouse were inspired by the likes of the Pixies and created actual music, unlike Kid Rock who set out to be (by his own admission) "the next Vanilla Ice."
@kito7 yea i know but he should lose weight and try to be a little bit healthy so he can continue making great music and performing dont want him dying from diabetes or we dont want to see him go through a food coma

Last night at the Wang, the guys skipped past "Hope everything is alright" and jumped straight to "What's that floating in the water?"
Great! =)
@ryandematteo

I also have the biggest biceps ever son. Go Pixies! wooo!
I know, i'll play some of my friends some Pixies and they say,"Turn this crap off and play Teen Spirit", and I always get pissed.
When are they going to get back with Kim Deal and write a new album???? Please!!!!
If my grandpa shaved his mustache, he would look just like black Francis!!!!:D
by this day one of the worlds most hairless bands... AND they have a girl!!!
I want to see them live so bad.

@Donald931 Indeed. I'd love to see how decadent and mellow turn the music takes upon the end of this planet.
@ryandematteo lol. so true.
3 People's have another opinion
@ryandematteo Amen brother
@kito7 no problem haha
@mrfudgeyhead actually No age are pretty rad

whats the point in trying to be in a band and write music, when these lot exist.
i mean how is anybody supposed to compete with these guys

@ryandematteo it seems like hipsters like the pixies more than nirvana

Yes, a very good cover.
@ryandematteo not me.
@nayck0501 If you made such an incredible number of fantastic songs , it's not a shame to reunite for the money.
@Donald931
And the things you'll miss out on when you're dead.
@ryandematteo Young? Even they are old these days.
I genuinely reckon that the band "TV on the radio" managed to better this with their version of this song.
It’s okay to be wrong
@@aomais_ keep telling yourself that.
no one does pixies better than pixies my dude
1:09-1:10 ?
@ryandematteo sounds like some hipsters arent hip and need a good slap
Kim is in this vid.
If my grandpa was black francis then he would be black francis :D
0:58-1:00 wtf?
@ryandematteo
Nirvana hipsters? I see it twice as bad with the freakin' Radiohead fans!
@kito7 yea i know but he should lose weight and try to be a little bit healthy so he can continue making great music and performing dont want him dying from diabetes or we dont want to see him go through a food coma
惨めでセクシーで最高だよ
that was not what he was asking.
She stopped smoking, so I guess it's not cool anymore?
I can't get over how weak his voice has gotten over the years. Makes me sad.
