Mark Ibold On Bass? That kicks ass

joeyg · 08.14.2006, 11:12 PM

I don't know about anyone esle but when I saw Mark playing bass on Jimmy Kimmel Live I lost my mind. THen seeing at the 08/11 show was a blast. Sy couldnt have picked a better person to play with them. If anyone remembers Pavement and has seen them live u know how good this guy is for that type of music. I hope they keep playing w/ him for a while.

yeh. Mark fits like some kind of hand warming apparel. Doesn't sound like Sonic's gonna revert back to the quatro for road life no time soon. Ibold, get used to it.

yeah? hopefully i'll see him and sy live in europe this year.

habibtheantiamericanbitch · 08.16.2006, 06:21 AM

he's pretty average and doesn't really add anything. saw pavement live once (lolla'95) and wasn't too impressed. but then, i never was a fan of this mediocre outfit. i could think of a better choice on bass- MIKE MUTHAFUKKIN WATTPOWER!!! i'll take the quartet anyday, if no Jim......

anyone remember the days when Kim actually played????

Tokolosh · 08.16.2006, 06:38 AM

I think he does a good job.

he's not a member of sy....he plays what he is told to...he can't just add anything and play the bass as if he's the one everbody comes to the show for unless they don't play as "Mark Ibold and the Sonic Youth"
he's giving his best and i'm sure kim has her reasons why she does not play the bass all the time....so, he's doing her a favor playing her parts

at least that's what i think...aah...actually i don't know

Kim should just pick up the guiatar on some of the songs. Two basses playing the same thing is stupid and useless. Jim knew how to add intertwining lines in SY.

fluxequalsrad · 08.16.2006, 11:39 AM

Ibold will have that Rourke supercharged role next SY album/tour.....minus the production and stuff. And learning Japanese...(What the hell was that all about?) I wanna hear some of Jims solo stuff.

Rob Instigator · 08.16.2006, 11:43 AM

idiots. Kim plays bass on 1/3 of the songs on tour. she plays guitar on another 1/3 and when she sings solo Mark plays her bass lines, so she can rock with us to her vicious and delicious rock n roll noise.

worship the youth. they will never let you down like that jesus fuck and that Mohammed ballsac.

I read in a recent interview with Kim that she's developed a pretty bad case of carpal tunnel syndrome. She said something to the effect that "the style of punk rock bass she plays just wasn't meant to be sustained for 25 years". Makes sense when you think about it.... After reading that, I was surprised to see her play as much bass as she did when I saw them recently.

yikes, is this true? haven't heard about it anywhere else... though i wouldn't dis-count this as avant improv guitarist Derek Bailey had carpal tunnel syndrome.

Rob Instigator · 08.16.2006, 01:44 PM

it is totally true. playing bass until age 53 is very damaging to the wrists and fingers.

lovesonicevol · 08.16.2006, 04:37 PM

Yea, Mark does a damn fine job. I like when Kim and Mark play bass at the same time.

Prisstina · 08.16.2006, 05:24 PM

I saw him at the SY show in Milwaukee.

He was good, but he didn't add too much. It still would have been an incredible show without him.

HaydenAsche · 08.16.2006, 05:26 PM

Jesus fucking Christ!

Mark Ibold has been playing bass for them for HOW LONG?

habibtheantiamericanbitch · 08.16.2006, 05:34 PM

not that they need my approval, but if for kim's medical reasons, that's cool. me, i just thought they did fantastic as a 4-piece and kim would be a full part of the noise freakouts. now she's either tickling a barely audible guitar or spinning profusely like stevie nicks (sans tamborine)...... guess i figure if yr gonna have a guest in the band he/she should offer something more than the mere baseline. dunno, i'm talking outta my ass and bitching about something that really isn't even a problem!!!
