    Kim Deal has carefully avoided the 'what is it like to be a woman in the music industry?' shit. She's just a great artist and a very smart person. I waited outside the shop to buy on the day it came out in the UK. About 5 people were in front of me, all for the same reason. That she constantly strives to evolve while already successful is something even the greatest artists don't have the bottle to do. She does. Good for her.
    To be honest, she is the only musical figure I've ever wanted to meet and I'm 47.

    The real reason Kim deal didn't join the current version of The Pixies... Frank Black couldn't STAND the thought of Kim writing better pop songs than he could. Which she could, hands-down.

    • @bradfield2266
      @bradfield2266 7 лет назад +10

      I think she probably had a lot of issues with the songs they were writing and the way they were being recorded. Plus she didn't really have fun in that band-hanging out, etc.-and would rather do her own thing, which makes sense. She's in her mid-50s, why spend time doing something you're not really into, with people you're not really friends with anymore? (Looking forward to the day when people will stop talking about the Pixies every time they talk about Kim.)

    • @TheGrandmasterMan
      @TheGrandmasterMan 6 лет назад +2

      From what I read, Charles might well have a point, but more relating to why The Pixies split first time round. Further evidence in my opinion, is Black Francis hasn't come up with a good song since....suggesting to me, Kim had all the song writing smarts.

    • @christiansanchez1785
      @christiansanchez1785 6 лет назад +2

      Don't be silly. The most pop sounding song that the Pixies recorded was "Here comes your man" and Charles wrote it when he was a teenager. Gigantic, the bands first hit, was mainly composed by Charles as well, with Kim figuring out the lyrics.

      The release of this video & the re-recording of the song "Pacer" is actually from 1996. "Tipp City" was the single in fall 1995.

      It's from 1996. The album 'Pacer' was released October 1995. This re-recording of the title track and its video were released in 1996.

      @@neilwilson5785 we would have been better off if they had re-established rule. We certainly have fallen far off the podium in the past 90 years.

      Frank Zappelin Her sister was in prison and the other girl was taking a break, so she made this group as a side project.

    • @MrMicalo
      @MrMicalo 6 лет назад

      yeah but later she kept the name "Breeders" even with a different line up !

    • @collapsedsynapse
      @collapsedsynapse 6 лет назад +1

      Frank Zappelin I think she wanted to keep the lineup for the 2nd album after her sister rejoined, but the other two weren’t interested at the time so they changed it back.
