i know it's strange but... sometimes i think steve is too mediocre, i mean his work in sy. thurston, lee, kim are all looking for some more experimental sound but steve just seems to act someone out of them.

i don't know.

Steve is the hidden star of Sonic Youth. The loveliest rock star in the world ever.

I wish he was my brother, or uncle or something.

I think Steve is not interested too much in improvised music, but you can't say it's too mediocre. He worked with lots of artists, he's running a record label and a venue in New Jersey. I really like him, seems to be a very friendly, nice guy and for sure is a great drummer.

EDIT: Does anybody know if Steve is married or have kids?

When you think about it, bearing musical tastes in mind, it's amazing that Steve is in SY. I mean, yeah, he loves his Gang of Four, etc, but he also seems to love a lot of singer-songwriters, and you just don't expect that from the drummer in Sonic Youth.

What I'm trying to say is that Steve Shelley is God.

(without Steve we are nothing)


Words fail when talking about Steve.

I think Steve is amazing. Pay attention to the drums on songs like "Pattern Recognition," or "Exressway." The shit's nuts.

And I mean, with Lee & Thurston experimenting, he's the one keeping the shit grounded. It's exactly what the band needs from a drummer.

Also, he pre-empted the Harry Potter fashion by like 10 years. Check out the insert from MADE IN USA... ha.

amazing drummer--probably the only thing about sonic youth that can
be truly called "underrated" after 25 years is steve's drumming.

Jim Sclavonos & Bob Bert were the two drummers prior to Steve.

bob bert played on "making the nature scene" and "i wanna be your dog"; sclavunos did the rest.

dont forget about richard edson who played drums on the first ep.
if it comes to improv stuff i think steves drumming is a big part of those recordings... the way he plays on syr3 is unbelivable..
but not just that..
so im pretty sure hes into that sort of stuff.

i don't know.

you are wrong. there could be no sonic youth with out steve, just listen to sonic death to prove it. further, without steve to organize the chaos, there would just be annoying guitar noises all the time, no music to speak of.. just my opinion.

also, steve is the only genuinely kind hearted person in the whole group. For that reason alone, he gets my praise, for kindness is more important than skill.

1) There was Sonic Youth long before Steve Shelley joined the band
2) Steve Shelley doesn't appear on Sonic Death
