Radiohead on Pixies 

beepst absolutely!!! They were such a groundbreaking band and influenced so many musicians!

Thank you, i don't like watching the videos...

How were the Pixies one of the biggest bands of the 90's?

@@allsystemsgo8678 nirvana and radiohead were

Nirvana's principal influence? I think it was the Beatles, but well

@@mgm8255 Kurt Cobain stated that Smells Like Teen Spirit was just him trying to rip off the Pixies

@@FrostGamingCSGO yeah, I think it was gouge away, but in just that song pixies were their principal influence. Kurt said his love for music started when he got his first Beatles record and the beatles is Dave's favourite band. I am not denying pixies influence on the band, but in my opinion the Beatles were the principal

Isn't that like a super generic text to speech voice lol

@@abcdefzhij no, it's quite specific

@@jamesduffy7549 Damn 3 years later reply, nice haha. I still swear I've heard this voice somewhere before, but I can't prove it so idk maybe you're right

@@abcdefzhij it was also the voice used by Stephen hawking if I’m not mistaken

@@jamesduffy7549 The voice was generated by the Macintosh computer SimpleText application. Source: www.songfacts.com/facts/radiohead/fitter-happier Also, it's on my macbook.

Nx Doyle Same can be said about Sonic Youth

Abel Ramirez Yep.

Shouts from Houston 🖤 The Pixies

@@abelramirez7320 I've been itching to put in "Daydream Nation" or "Evol" lately. Sonic Youth, the band I DID NOT WANT TO LIKE, is as good if not better than advertised

The Velvet Underhround inspired everyone, and they get less recognition than even the Pixies in my opinion. Sad, really...

ethanabelar In the Pixies song "I've Been Tired", Charles says "I wanna be a singer like Lou Reed I LIKE LOU REED!". Pixies definitely sight them as an influence. Many say that Charles Thompson/Frank Black/Black Francis' singing style is very similar. However, I might disagree with you though about Pixies popularity vs. Velvet Underground's… it seems like more people like or have at least heard of the Velvet Underground. That's just my experience.

Matt Wright Yeah I see what you mean. I'm definatly listening to that song though

ethanabelar i dont think its sad. i think its just the nature of the music. the pixies' music is incredibly dear to me but i sitll admit that its must harder to listen to or get into than a band like radiohead or nirvana-*and thats fine*. they have left their mark on music whether or not their music gets a lot of listen time or not through that influence. And not everyone is gonna thoroughly explore music or these genres in great depth and if the band that they do hear is nirvana i think thats fine and pixies lovers should be content that they experienced some of the pixies feel through nirvana. if i were a member of the pixies id be overjoyed with how much appreciation and happiness my music was able to bring to others. and beyond that, the pixies often harbor a more intense love than your average band, look at thom yorke, it inspired him so much that he went on to front radiohead.

***** the mbv records sold pretty well actually

Amen, brother!

...and if you have a Pixies tattoo...?

Why, thank you 😊

@@TheLarskoster A total loser

@@mrdobalina8006 What a nice comment , your parents must be very proud of you...

I wouldn't say that. Some riffs and definitely lyrically they're on the same page. They obviously don't sound exactly the same.

+Lauren Taylor Yeah, Jonny's guitar style in particular (in RH's 'rockin' days) is heavily heavily influenced by Joey Santiago's. Just take a listen to "Just", "Anyone Can Play Guitar", "Paranoid Android"...even as late as "Go To Sleep"s lead parts

+Lauren Taylor My fav band Too! and yes, it was very satisfying to watch. Pixies album, Doolittle is my second favorite album, behind In Rainbows and you can see so much correlation between them.

Right? WTF was that?

I appreciate this is from 3 years ago and you may have since found out for yourself. It's a Radiohead reference of sorts - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O4SzvsMFaek.html.

@@MikaelLewisifyTo answer your question two years late, the Radiohead album OK Computer features a computer synthesized voice.

bengolious the who won a coin toss so they played before Hendrix. Then in order to follow the who’s tradition of smashing instruments Hendrix upstaged them by burning his guitar on stage while playing ‘wild thing’ before smashing it to end the festival

is there a way i can see that? xo

@@yalikebe3ns797 Sure you can, a film was made of the Monterrey Pop Festival in 1967. That's where this happened.

Agreed

Steve Albini

And then there's the crappy production on Trompe Le Monde ...

My fav pixies album

doolittle has some mean drums too

I always like hearing my favorite musicians fanboy over their favorite musicians. It helps me relate them.

Maria Eduarda Mayrinck makes me laugh that you're putting yourself up there with Kurt Cobain and Pixies and David Bowie as "the best"… okay! Keep being the best! Probably not what you meant though. Hehe

@@mwright83 I love it that the best know what the best is ... Kurt Cobain was also a huge Pixies fan. So was Bowie. So is Maria Eduarda Mayrinck. So is Matt Wright. So am I.

So, I guess that's a compliment. Thanks. :)

Who did the Pixies copy?

blackmore4 they didn't rly actually

@McSpankey What I thought too. All the truly significant/brilliant groups seem to totally erase any influences with their own uniqueness.

pavement fall into that category, they did pixies pretty damn well, even better than most, yet they were not a huge phenomena at the time, though they were loved by a core fan base. Pavement also did the sonic youth thing which made them sound unpolished or not as professional at times and more lofi. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-e2Nsy4h8rD4.html

The mediocre band thing described Coldplay perfectly

damn straight! i love those 2 bands too. in fact i started listening to the pixies because i read a book about radiohead back in 2005 and heard how much the band loved them so i went and bought surfer rosa and frank black's solo album and just loved both albums so much now i buy anything they release.

katkal3 please can you tell me what book is it? I would love to read a book about radiohead

@@vinitube00 I think he's referring to Exit Music: The Radiohead Story. I own a copy.

@@hickorymccay2994 thxxx, I will look it up

how was it :3

@@yalikebe3ns797 i cried

sick! can you recocmend another band you like to me? xoxoxxo :]

Back stage of what concert?

Huh wow awesome

Agreed. Wonder if they were fans of them as well. I love both. Probably the pixies a little more but Dinosaur Jr was like a soundtrack to my youth

They were also big pavement fans

I can get behind that.

yes please.

If you get enough thumbs up here they might do it. ;)

Yes please

as a giant Pixies fan its easy to overlook how much influence Husker du & the Replacements had on the Pixies, and Joy Division on them, & Iggy on J.D. etc etc,, the 10 years of this great under ground music set the scene for Nirvana and the 90's,, the best era in music history.

a lot of great american bands were appreciated first in europe before they make it here. great for europe but sad for US
