Kim was such an awesome human! What a presence she was! Every time I see Kim in a video she still makes me smile. All I can think was maybe Frank Black didn’t like that Kim was taller than him lol.
Love the Pixies - I’ve seen them 5 times since 1991...they can be very good live but in general, they’re the kind of band that plays their songs almost exactly the same every night. Kim Shattuck was the type of musician that added charisma to every live performance. She gave them a spark and you can see in this video, she is totally in the moment, for the entire song, absolutely beaming & inspired-smiling the whole time. This is the best *live* version of “where is my mind?” that I’ve ever heard. The audience didn’t want it to end! Charles said “she’s a West Coast extrovert and we’re East Coast introverts” -I get his point, but have you seen the Flea from The Red Hot Chili Peppers play bass with The Pixies at Echoplex, 2013? (see YT video of Vamos + Where is My Mind) but talk about “West Coast Extroverts”!) -It’s great, extremely visceral, and cool to see. Good for them to at least try it. It works on the song vamos, but Flea bouncing around on “Mind” was inappropriate. (Kim S. knew how to serve the tone of the song appropriately & at least she sang the background harmony -Flea did not) Kim said she did a stage-dive one time and they admonished her for that, saying “the Pixies don’t do that” ...(Jeeze, ‘lighten up, Francis” sounds like a corporate job!). They should’ve lightened up because she had great energy & genuine spark! She might have been a little different from them but that’s what made her great & they benefitted from her -they could use a little spontaneity -it’s just too bad. In my opinion, they made a big mistake in firing her -but that gave her impetus to get back to The Muffs and make two more albums before she tragically got sick with ALS, passing away 10/2/19. Thanks for the music, Kim.❤️We love & miss you dearly!!!😥😭 Rest In Peace, Kim Shattuck!💔Luv The Muffs & Pixies!🖤
Kim Shattuck jamming with the pixies... oh shit yeah! It's weird seeing the pixies without Deal as part of the group, but.. Kim from the Muffs instead... I'll take that. Too bad they booted her not long after... so much cred on that stage right then.. management obviously had no idea how much of a song writing machine with skills shattuck is.
They should have stuck with Shattuck. She introduced a new dynamic. I know Paz is a multi instrumentalist and perhaps more 'controlled'.... but I prefer the dynamism of Kim 2.

Kim got kicked out of the band for stage diving. Sheesh. If she had stayed in the band, imagine if Frank Black had let her sing lead on some songs! They could have stayed awesome.
It’s lame to fire someone who can do the job and is familiar with putting on a show and writing songs. A conversation about that subject would have been enough, I guess. But no, it’s all apparently allright, and on the next day, “yeah, you’re out”
But hey, it’s one way to see it. I guess the other guys in the band weren’t 100% with her in the band . What about talking? Dialogue? It’s the attitude of saying nothing that pisses me off.
@@joaogloriaalves8030 Kim Shattuck is awesome! To say the truth, I prefer that she stopped hanging with the Pixies, so she could return to The Muffs and The Pandoras... I went to this concert in Paris especially to see Kim, not the Pixies...
@@ef58jnr Nice! I now can understand why. Are there any commercial live recordings of Pixies with Kim? Kim Shattuck was a sweety, fun, brash and talented. I am glad that I got to see the Muffs play live once.
Charles has admitted to being a HIGHLY insecure control-freak. I mean one of the reasons he broke up the Pixies in the first place was because he couldn't handle Kim Deal wanting to have a bigger songwriting role in the band, so Charles, rather than risk being outshined in his own band, or losing control of "his" band, just broke the band up without even talking with Joey or David - they both found out through the media. Kim Shattuck stage-driving would qualify as outshining Charles on stage, therefore, I can totally see that being enough reason for Charles wanting her gone.
This is the lamest fuckin comment I’ve ever seen on RUclips, your ex probably dug the pixies and told you that you’ve got a small pp XD Have a great day you lil nobody.
RIP Kim 😢
😭
She is not dead... maybe super alive somewhere.
:/
Kim was such an awesome human! What a presence she was! Every time I see Kim in a video she still makes me smile. All I can think was maybe Frank Black didn’t like that Kim was taller than him lol.
Indeed, I had so much admiration about Kim! I had the chance to meet her several times: such a nice person!!
I adore 🥰 her. I’m still angry that the universe took her away from us.
@@Creative-ik5xm same here
I’m trying to learn her songs now. Love her to the moon and back.
Rock in Paradise, Kim
I miss Kim, she had so much Talent, RIP Kim, you will be missed.

She Gave the pixies too much backbone and power. I almost kinda wish Kim Shattuck put the nail in the coffin to the pixies
Rip kim 🌹

RobKirbyson14 Kim is an extrovert. The Pixies have been comprised of a bunch of introverts. That's the main reason she got fired.

@@surfercrow That’s a wonderful piece of writing champ. Right on point. Actually put a tear in my eye at the end. :-/
R.I.P. Kim.
Nice video! Thank you for uploading this special performance with the lovely Kim Shattuck. 😊
RIP kim :'(
RIP Kim.
They got Shattuck? She is a legend. I love the Muffs.

Her Ooooooooooooo's are good.
Kim is clearly the better singer
Fuck ALS/MND such a great talented songwriter and performer Kim ❤️

been enough, I guess. But no, it’s all apparently allright, and on the next day, “yeah, you’re out”
Fking rock star attitude. They are too big and busy and “introvert” to fire their OWN bass player themselves. Assholes.
well I guess she’s better off playing anywhere else.
And she is nice (or wise) enough to say “but they’re nice people”. Just...how?
But hey, it’s one way to see it. I guess the other guys in the band weren’t 100% with her in the band . What about talking? Dialogue? It’s the attitude of saying nothing that pisses me off.

lol shattuck was too punk for the pixies, rip legend 🖤
Fired for stage diving..lame.

Yup.....lame...stupid.....closed-minded for such an open-minded band.

It was as if Pixies were afraid Kim gets the fame and popularity... Shame... Kim was the best!
As with every Kim the band had, too talented to deal (unintentional pun) with such a bunch of turds.
maybe a little harsh 😆
The only decent song they had. None hit wonders
Haha that's the worst song. It's my least favorite. Shows what MTV can do when they dictate to the masses what is popular. It's not for you to decide
This is the lamest fuckin comment I’ve ever seen on RUclips, your ex probably dug the pixies and told you that you’ve got a small pp XD
Have a great day you lil nobody.
@@Finnpaynemusic hahahaha
one of the most clueless comments about Pixies ever! 🤣
Are you retarded?
They did Kim dirty.
