Pixies - Velouria (Official Video) 

Fuck the bbc

Thanks ! The BBC got Pixied !

hahaha this is priceless

real artists

And it became their best and one of the most unique videos ever.

🤣

Haha, reading your comment is really on point for me. A little background: So I'm a pretty young guy, but a few days ago managed to break my hip cycling in ice back from work. I'm laid up in hospital and I start low level singing Pixies 'Broken Face' but replacing the 'face' lyric with 'hip'. Then I get home after surgery and randomly stick this album on. I'm listening to Cecilia Ann and realize I'm inadvertently tapping my foot on the bad side of my break. I nearly commented on that video to say 'yeah Pixies must be awesome if they can make you forget about a broken bone' or some shit. But then I get to this video, and think the exact same as you and see your comment. Strange how certain events seems to just line up in their own unique but interesting little ways haha 😄

Me at 39: It's a miracle no one skinned their knees! 🙃😉

Me at 69 (and I loved the Pixies, and had a crush on Kim Deal, when the band broke in the late 1980s): Hey! I think this video shows a quick flash of Kim's underwear!

Oh same here, every time I watch this I'm still thinking "watch out!"

Harrison Laver when this album came out I felt exactly the same. It was what I'd been searching for. This song especially.

Not weird at all. This band does that with a lot of their songs. The Happening/The Thing is one of them that does it for me. Letter to Memphis also. Even if you're not looking for a deep listen, they have plenty of "just want to rock the fuck out" music too.

Yep that's what good songwriting does to you.

I agree. That's how I felt when I heard God Only Knows by Brian Wilson. It's a sign of musical genius.

Same with me and Radiohead's 'The Tourist'

What a great song, I love it! I put it into my "Shellshocked Radio - Recommendations" List: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o_MWXyqx5I4.html Very well done!

Fuck yeah....Kim Deal all the way Breeders is great as well ❤

frank .

She has the most infectious smile that makes me happy every time I see it on a video.

They were all central. That’s what a band is. Don’t pick on one. Keep your crap to yourself

Anything by the pixies can never be played too loudly 😉

yeah this song loud is exhilarating

if you aren't screaming MY VELORIA along with the song are you even truly listening to it?

Heard them play it live on Sunday. So good

Preach!!! 🙌🙌

Kim always does - she's a happy camper.

@@dudeatx Kim is life, Kim is love

Truly.

I would start with Doolittle my friend, then go from there :-)

Keep listening, it won't disappoint my friend

If you liked nirvana, you'll like the pixies. I was a late comer too, having been a teenager when they were at their best, I just wasn't that cool! Same with Nirvana, they passed me by and I discovered their music in the late 90's. I'm cool as f##k now! 😎🤣

Kurt would have Pixies played over the PA before Nirvana came on stage.

Weezer has made a career out of ripping off this song.

Giffari Ihza Dude! After all of these years and I never realized it until reading your comment.

holy shit!

Wow ... new info, even after all this time.

Huh, whaddaya know.

hahaha, i knew reading comments would eventually lead to something good. kudos on this!

Apparently this song is based on Rosicrucian’s

Tsss chingon broo...saludos desde Mexico, lindo y rockero.

Lol

Extraordinarily unlikely .. but not the end of the world … I’d suggest just trying to enjoy your life… it is very short and the good times can end at any moment

Making fun of their students

Awesome comment 😆

i am sorry but about 2 minutes in this video, the drummer stole the show....

i had a couple of those teachers. Did have to enroll in the most expensive school in the country though.

👍

every Metallica song ever lol

@@sheldonmontgomery9767 You mean until the Black album?

@@dingdongism The Thing That Should Not Be is D Standard. Metallica is in E standard Except for Sad But True ( D standard ) . Load and Reload are Eb standard. St. Anger is mostly Drop C. Dirty Window is Drop Db and Other songs are Drop Bb. Death magnetic and Hardwired are back to E standard. 🙂

It’s actually tuned to F.

Y

Haha , the Here Comes Your Man video is even more shady , with the anti-lip-syncing.

@@adgato75 It's also great lol. They were all about making points especially in the context of their music videos.

@@adgato75 Didn't the Pixies made the Velouria video because they like to perform in Top of The Pops where many people were lip-syncing? If they were to perform, I think they would do it like Nirvana did when they performed Smells Like Teen Spirit on Top of The Pops. I'd love to see that happen.

@@skord176 IIRC , they DID make this video ( Velouria ) because of the Top of the Pops rule. Although I don't know if it had anything to do with lip syncing in that instance. But they DID make the Here Comes Your Man video specifically to show what they thought of lip syncing.

Agree

+bennymutant The BBC wouldnt play songs in the top 40 charts if they didnt have a video, so the band went out and recorded 20 seconds of footage in a quarry and stretched it out for the duration of the song.

+Glynn Bailey yep, they were meant to be playing on top of the pops i believe, they needed a video so they did this. If memory serves me correctly they still gave the slot on TOTP so someone else. So they got stuck with this video for nothing.

+bennymutant stop bitchin

*****​ I know - you bitch

what does that tell you about the record label?

Bastards of Young by The Replacements

i agree pretty deep

I remember when they "world premiered" this video on MTV's 120 minutes, such a funny pisstake of a video... and the host even dissed it as boring, what a dick.

Now it is in my top 10 :)

Then you must have voted for Trump.

lien ying Has had her hands in the cookie jar a few too many times over the last few years. I wouldn't have minded getting my hands into her cookie jar when she wasn't so chunky back in the 90's.

Steve T are you fucking kidding me, she can eat however much of what she wants, fuck you

llih aidyl Blah blah blah . . . Dry your eyes & get over yourself. Nobody cares.

nah fuck you, you troll

I see this in a lot of the comments. She's cool as fuck. But hardly hot.

Thomas Murphy Or Sonic Youth?

Kurt Cobain loved the Pixies he was surely heavily influenced by them

still for me

@@jeffridley2564 the real deal stay safe

she's a goddess

Mine were of Kim and Kelly but I still feel you!

@@spacey9707 ur weird

Miller Thyme I get the feeling that the TARDIS may have visited that filming location a few times back in the day.

Miller Thyme It was made under MTV pressure

If MTV pressured them to make a video, then hats off to The Pixies for pushing back with this video.

Here comes your man was under MTV's pressure 2. Frank had no patience to do lipsynch, so they just open their mouth.

who knows hint hint

What a great song, I love it! I put it into my "Shellshocked Radio - Recommendations" List: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o_MWXyqx5I4.html Very well done!

haha me too

Same here! Best show ever, and this song just killed me.

Comdex 90...

Thanks for sharing my 'old' friend

omg and mine too

I missed that bit.

Timestamp? Lol

dude same

My favourite part is when they were running on the rocks

Whoa, surely you must be joking.

Zach K no, it's cool and special

Zach K 😂

Agreed, suits the song perfectly

Agreed, it's brilliant, it accompanies the weightless feeling of the song and it doesn't distract from it by being too clever.

10? Try 30.

going on 13 years here lol

going on 13 years here lol

well said. Feel the same!

Me too

4 years later sorry, but it's 2:44, 3:44 is the video's end lol

@@motorologist that’s ok! I frequently mess something when commenting online, I probably have ADHD or something 😸

@@GregLopesArt You mean, you don't spend all your time making sure that youtube comments you write are perfect in every way? Blasphemy!

you should look up a band called The Doublejumps if you like Pixies

The happening? Gouge away? Try those out

@@bingbongbingkingofthecastl7046 "you got your good thing and ive got mine"

@@dsultanum fasho, those are my favs. Just thought I'd share because maybe you overlooked them.

@@bingbongbingkingofthecastl7046 thanks buddy

I was just thinking about this. As I’m getting lowered into the ground: “V-E-L-O-U-R-I-Aaaaaaa”

Hahahaha

I think he looks like he could win a Curly Howard lookalike contest.

Yeah, I agree with you, both understand music in a special way and they create their own with these unique comprehension.

Not that different a cultural landscape in one sense. The love of California surf rock is evident for both.

@@unakennelly But in different stages: Brian Wilson sarted making surf rock and then leave that music genre, and Black Francis started making alternative rock and then explored surf rock in the Bossanova album.

Well... Here are in sort way the two together: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tJ2qi9KfEZ8.html

@@unakennelly exactly! both injected their own unique genius vision onto the genre to elevate it; one from the perspective of the 60s and one from the perspective of the 80s.
