Pixies - Gouge Away (6 Music Live Room) 

Back in 2024 for another listen, who else is with me! This is timeless!

That bass is so hypnotic.

After all these years - still one of the coolest bands ever.....

To me, this recording is perfection.

Bass tone is absolutely perfect

I LOVE that they changed the song from the recorded version (they play it like this live for years now). On the album the lyrics start right in. This extended intro really adds to the mood of the song. Great song from a great band.

This Production is just badass. The bass, the drums, everything. This specific recording is a masterpiece. To see it taped is a revelation.

I come back to this version so often, just incredible.

I rang up Frank Black at work yesterday. I was completely starstruck. He came to the register and I couldn't stop looking up and staring at him and he finally asked me "Is everything OK?" And I ask "Is your name Frank?" And he replies "Yes" and I started to fanboy. He was very kind and humble. Such a surreal moment for me that I won't soon forget.

That Dave Lovering is a first class drummer, no beats were skipped!

You don't have to be a Pixies fan to understand: this is flawless and perfect ❤

Rip latifi shoutout to his wdc

Santiago makes lead guitar magic. His style is incredible

I have been watching this band perform this song for 30 years now and the last couple of years it has become an almost religious experience. It has transcended everything it has ever been before and ascended to a plane of pure sonic joy for me that nothing else has even come close to. I'd say that in its current incarnation, the live version has achieved perfection, but that doesn't do it justice. It's perfect, but it's perfect even for a Pixies song. There is simply nothing to compare to the experience of standing in the middle of a dance floor in a crowded auditorium, eyes closed, gently swaying to the calm-before-the-storm bass groove, knowing that with each controlled-chaos verse, hell is going to break a little more loose. By the time we get to "break the walls and kill us all", I am screaming the words back at Charles Thompson with the understanding that though he wrote them, I am feeling them, because that is his will. This song, and the way it is played today, stands as one of the greatest rock and roll achievements of my lifetime.

Brought here by RocketPoweredMohawk, shout out to his family.

In the 90's, I was lucky to see Frank Black in concert in Paris. I'm 55 and still love Pixies.

Probably ... the greatest live studio performance ...in the world...ever! FLAWLESS!!!!!!!!!!

Gouge away, you can gouge away Stay all day if you want to Missy aggravation Some sacred questions, you stroke my locks Some marijuana if you got some Gouge away, you can gouge away Stay all day if you want to Sleeping on your belly You break my arms, you spoon my eyes Been rubbing a bad charm with holy fingers Gouge away, you can gouge away Stay all day if you want to Chained to the pillars A 3 day party, I break the walls And kill us all with holy fingers Gouge away, you can gouge away Stay all day if you want to

i swear down on me nans grave

RIP Latifi

Dave looks like he could run a marathon. Drumming is a fantastic workout.

You're still the teenager of the year, Frank.

I must have listened to this 500 times and it never gets old

can’t believe all my people are spamming the comments of this masterpiece how dare u

Paz is a hell of a musician , she was good in A Perfect Circle and now shes shredding with the Pixies...

This why the bass guitar is such an important part of a bands sound

Listening to this in an office with headphones on and I still take a deep breath just before "Missy aggravation" like I'm going to scream along. Very very few bands make me feel the way the Pixies do. I want to yell at people who don't know them and love them that they are missing out on something incredible. This is an awesome version too.

*#GOATIFI*

Over the years this band has risen in my esteem from one of the best American bands of their era, to one of the greatest bands of all time.

Cant wait to be moshing with 50 year olds outside the opera house!!!

I love how the beginning part goes on and on. I never would have imagined that being as effective as it is.

A guy with a Mohawk told me to watch this instead of his video.

That bass sound 😍 i could listen her playing all day

One of the best songs ever written

This song comes close to musical genius ... just sublime.

What a mint recording . Unreal.

What a great drumer Loveling is... He has that kind of "Ringo" thing that you can't explain but is amazing. He plays the perfect beat at the perfect moment.

The groove in this tune by bass+drums, the build-up and tension created by lead guitar, and the savagery of the vocals. In such a perfect blend. Great dynamic. This is one of the greatest songs of all time, and they still perform it like clockwork.

Ritmo lineal, sencillito y sin complicaciones... ¿para qué más? En mi opinión, este tipo de canciones son siempre las mejores. El sonido es cojonudo, natural y con fuerza. Gran grupo los Pixies.

I love the fact that you can find comments praising each band member in here. Love them pixies

gouge away is one of those songs, when you heard it on the radio while driving, you knew even if you arrived early at your destination- you were going to sit in the car until the last note of this song was played. great performance here too.

Paz and Dave in perfect harmony!

By faaaaaar my favourite version of this song! Beautiful

Could listen to this all day.

Man, they are super tight. Joeys guitar sound is so good.

That bass line .... mesmerising.. love you Kim

This might be my favorite rendition of this song - period. Live and bass for miles. Francis in fine form with his beautiful screaming. A perfect song? All hail the Pixies..

One of the best bands of all time,in my opinion 👍

David Lovering rules on them skins. He’s tight and loose at the same time. Great groove.

God, I've loved this band since my teens (I'm 47 now)! The music is timeless, simple and perfect...rarely will a day go by where I'm not listening or playing their stuff.

This is one of the best versions of one of the best Pixies songs. Come here to revisit often and always hit repeat at least once. Always thought 'without Kim, it ain't the Pixies', but this track convinced me that Paz Lenchantin is a fitting successor to the great Kim Deal.

Why can't I like this 1 trillion times?

0:15 Francis looks like one of those guys that starts the car, shifts in the first gear, drives and THEN puts on the seatbelt and turns on the lights :D

90s alternative wouldn't have existed had the Pixies not existed

2022 and all roads still lead to Pixies

Never heard this song before. I'm in shock. :OThis is so good.

Love the way this starts right in with music, none of this bullshit talk from radio jocks

I'm in love with that bass tone.

An absolute rippin' version...the band is sooooo tight!

where my RPM ppl at??

And this, children, is what real music sounds like.

I've watched this 50 times in the past week.

Love Paz. Miss Kim. But what a fucking performance. Absolutely love it x x

sencillo, elegante contagiante, y brutal , tremendo grupo

Love that worn in bass!

This gave me chills. Been a fan since 1990.

Imagine being a kid who's never heard this song....wow I remember when I first heard it and I am jealous of those feelings.....what a band.

Saw them in Cardiff two days ago, went out for a cig quick came back in only to hear the last note of this song. Long story short, I've quit smoking.

Paz is absolutely perfect!

I introduced the Pixies to my brother in the 90s. The face he made when I first played Doolittle was cringe. Now he is an expert on any trivia regarding this amazing band.

Perfection, no other way to describe it

My favorite pixies song ♥

Still some of the greatest music I've heard and it came out in 1988

just stumbled on this a couple of days ago. Superb !!! The drummer is the star of the show...

The balance of that bass, damn...gives me goosebumps!!!

Paz is the bearer and guardian of Pixies spirit!

This band was always about less is more. Pay attention kids, if you want your music to sound intense there needs to be build-up and lots of dynamics.

I LOVE PIXIES FOREVER ❤️🎸💯👍🤟🎸🎸🤟🤟👍👍❤️❤️💯💯

I can’t live without this version

Was great seeing this played live last night in Bexhill!!!

Absolutely lovable music full of emotions, great reverbs, great melodies, bass lines, interrupting vocals, extraorinary harmonic tricks, key changes within the song and all the stuff that I just adore and appreciate. There's no other band like YOU! Long live Pixies! You age like a fine wine :)

i will always and forever love the Pixies

Bass Line devastating ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Oh God still sounds perfect,still that energy ,that makes them one of the most important bands of the era.

Pure, strong, simple. Ageing well. Definitely one of my all-time favorite. Love you Pixies!

I watched/listened to this 50 times at least. Love it.

Listened to this a couple months back, I had a dream today where I was playing this intro with my bass. Felt happy like I haven't felt in years. This performance is out of this world.

Fucking amazing. The Pixies have always been about dynamics and nuances. An intricate machine of sound built around equally intricate dark sideways subversive poetry. Fucking amazing.

The Pixies , brilliant. Saw them in Curitiba Brazil around 2005 when they re-formed. One of my fav all time bands..

Best version on RU-vid. Period.

Surfer Rosa - Doolittle - Bossanova is a three album run that most bands can only dream of. This performance is simply perfection. And Joey Santiago is one of the most underappreciated guitarists ever.

Paz lenchantin the superstar!! 💫 🌟

My favourite Pixie's song

Worth the licence fee on its own, so much better than the album version.

Got me thru high school in 1995 and im here rewatching in 2023! GOATS!!

Masterful performance. Best Pixies song, period.

One of the most influential bands still doin their thing.

I wish I could drum even 1% as good as this genius. Listening for over 20 years and i don't see why the next 20 will be any different

2023. All roads still lead to Pixies…

After building the tension for over two minutes that chorus really comes crashing in bringing a wave of relief.
