RanaldoNecro · 11.15.2011, 01:15 PM

If they do split, the only thing that would bother me is that the last time I saw them live I had no idea that could/would be the last.
For all the rest I'm just grateful.

Lazewski · 11.15.2011, 01:26 PM

They still haven't done MTV Unplugged.

Pelle · 11.15.2011, 01:32 PM

Defenitly hope not.

RanaldoNecro · 11.15.2011, 01:46 PM

What about the Demolished Thoughts tour?

Genteel Death · 11.15.2011, 01:53 PM

They should go. I wasn't expecting to read the sort of things that have been floating around the internet though. Utter respect one way or another.

jon boy · 11.15.2011, 02:01 PM

i think they probably have as i cant see them doing a 'this is our final tour' moneymaker. they all have their own projects so they will probably work on those from now on. they have been downhill for a good few years now so its probably time to let it go.

If that was their last show, I feel like it's weird it wsn't in NYC.

VU's last gig wasn't in NYC either. They decided that the city hated them. Who can tell about these things, if not the band themselves?

nicfit · 11.15.2011, 03:23 PM

Plus, I'm afraid nothing could beat the setlist they put up for the last NYC gig they did.

noisereductions · 11.15.2011, 03:23 PM

yeah. I don't know. I guess I just feel like it being anywhere but NYC is sort of like... oh... that's it? It's over? Doesn't feel "real" or official to me. Who knows if it's true anyway.

Beautiful, epic, wondrous, stupendous. If that's the last Sonic Youth show I attended, it was my honor to stand in that crowd on that night.

rocky · 11.15.2011, 03:33 PM

It's hard to say! I am not sure it is fair to say whether one concert was ''the last one'' or not because, in almost all cases they play every concert as though it is their last. : ) Every concert they have played could have been their last in a parallel reality. :0

I guess about making new albums, they are not sure if they would be allowed to put out something really strange, which Thurston was discussing earlier this year. We would let them

But maybe they are not sure which direction to take and would rather put off making the decision, and give Lee the spotlight for what sounds like a beautiful... and long awaited by fans and others alike ...record!

Genteel Death · 11.15.2011, 03:45 PM

Splitting up is a good thing in that they may decide to put a little more effeort in a lot of this rubbish they create solo. Thurston Moore, for instance, could start with learning how to play the acoustic guitar before he tries making psych folk records.

Genteel Death · 11.15.2011, 03:48 PM

Kim Gordon could do with learning about painting and stop producing work similar to fucking Sylvester Stallone in his conceptual phase too.

As it happens, I'll never want ANY deal. Come say that to my face if you got balls.

jon boy · 11.16.2011, 08:13 PM

i would like to see thurston work on more electric jazz collaborations and noise than acoustic stuff because the folk stuff he is doing is so dull it hurts. i saw him a month or so ago and it was just painful. i left.
