Hi,
I've seen your concert in Brussels a few years ago for your Album nyc ghosts&flowers. I was sure to listen a concert a little bit experimental, but I hoped to heard more powerfull songs. An finally the concert was very short (not more than 75min).
But I love you, and this year I've bought tickets for your 2 concerts on the 11&12th of December 2006 in Brussels in the Hall of Schaerbeek. Your recents albums arer very nice!!! And i'm sure this time I'll have 2 nice show! (a little bit longer, i hope...:-))
Are your going to play 2 very differents shows? You'll play also olders songs?
Can we get all the power that we hope from SONIC YOUTH???
Greeting,
Oliver from Belgium

A few questions for Steve, seeing as journalists never seem to ask him anything:

After you first joined Sonic Youth, how long did it take for you to feel comfortable enough that you could influence the way that a song was going?

If you came up with a drum pattern that you liked, could you take it to the rest of the band and ask them to build something around it? Are there already any SY songs that originated like that?

Did you always want to be a drummer when you were growing up, or did you have aspiration to play any other instruments?

Would you ever consider writing lyrics for a Sonic Youth song?

Do you ever feel tempted to collaborate with musicians outside the band in the same way as Thurston and Lee (other than in Two Dollar Guitar)? If you do, who would you like to work with?

Who have been the major influences on your drumming style?

Which current drummers do you admire?

How long had you been drumming with Sonic Youth before your parents stopped saying you should get a "proper" job?

frades · 11.08.2006, 07:37 AM

hello SY, my question is : is there a song of your whole discography that you find nowadays not very natural... not missed but with an unlogical transition between the intro and the rest of the song. I think of "brave men run" which has a awesome intro and then fade in "7 days + 7 nites" you see????

maybe this thread should have started by teaching people how to formulate questions, this is such a funny thread because it shows how stupid you people are.

sonicl · 11.08.2006, 10:25 AM

Me not stoopid. Me type good questions. Me put question marks at end.

Everyneurotic · 11.08.2006, 10:26 AM

yeah!

"hi sonic?!"

homerush · 11.20.2006, 12:41 PM

SYRFox · 11.21.2006, 10:43 AM

Do you consider release a The Destroyed Room: Rarities and B-sides 1981-1989?

Nevermind · 11.22.2006, 12:24 PM

Hey Chabib, how do you know Sonic Youth? and what tuning is cross the breeze in?

porkmarras · 11.28.2006, 06:19 AM

Will you play in London in December?

jon boy · 11.28.2006, 06:54 AM

i think that you should dedicate a song to the board at atp.

That's a pretty shitty thing to ask someone. It doesn't matter if you're joking.

towelie · 11.28.2006, 10:42 PM

How may towels do you tour with? And do any of you get high?

musicfallinglikesnow · 12.15.2006, 12:55 PM

For Thurston and Lee, and these questions may be dumb. How did you discover and choose the non-conventional tunings you play your songs with? Do you still use electrical tuners (have you ever) or do you tune by ear? How does Kim tune her bass to match your guitars? Thanks!

Norma J · 12.16.2006, 12:31 AM

Do these questions get answered in this thread?

HECKLER SPRAY · 12.29.2006, 09:22 AM

Does Mark Ibold rock on stage? I saw you in Paris, december 13th, my first Sonic Concert, and it was a great gig. I was happy to see Mark, too.
I hope you come again soon in France.

schizophrenicroom · 01.02.2007, 12:21 AM
