"I was never in a cover band." Thurston Moore, king of cool.
-
"My favorite bands were the bands that were room-clearers anyway, so that was the pantheon that I wanted to be in." -Thurston Moore
-
Thurston is really an underrated guitarist, the success hes done solo and through out the decades with sonic youth is hall of fame worthy. He's up there next to Kurt in my top 5 when it comes to vocals and riffs.
-
Somehow the universe has brought us to a place wherein 62 year old Thurston Moore and 59 year old Dave Mustaine look nearly identical.
-
Always interesting to hear Thurston talk. Love Sonic Youth
-
Nick Reinhart is a league in his own. So cool he got to do this. Plus hes a great interviewer, clearly a fan but came off as a friend.
-
Lmao at Thurston, king of noise, holding a Jazzmaster with noiseless pickups.
-
I love their weird concepts and guts to play and exist the way they did
-
This why Thurston is my freaking hero. I started playing around with alternate tunings and I always get the same reaction of thats cool but we cant play that, you cant play just normal... it gets old.
-
I really liked the format of this one. Hope you make more in the style!
-
nick is such a rad dude. I wish I could hang with him so bad. tera melos changed my life.
-

-

-
Wait, is that the dude from Tera Melos? I couldn't recognize him with the small pedalboard lol
-
the indie dave mustaine
-
Rip to all the people that popped their b string trying to tune to their weird tunings
-
2 awesome players!!
-
right on Thurston, years/decades since I've played in it & doubt I could barely manage even 'Louie Louie' in standard now
-
Silver rocket is my fav sonic youth song

Blues musicians back in the day took inspiration both from their own african cultural roots in terms of some timing but also from the Celt influence on bluegrass and country music prevalent at the time. Part of the reason their instruments held alternate tunings was simply because a lot of them weren't musically literate and didn't necessarily know what 'proper' tuning was (or it may have once been in tune but over time went out of tune). They often matched their own voices.
