How does Pavement tour effect Sonic Youth?
 

Mike Watt.

Mike Watt! :)

I would agree that Mike Watt would be the most obvious choice.

I'm still not quite convinced of this Pavement reunion though...

Where's Gary?

Mike Watt is too energetic for Sonic Youth. SY and Dino Jr should just bite the bullet already and merge to form a supergroup.

Kira.

I'm guessing that this Pavement "world tour" is only going to take up a month or two.

I doubt that will cut into the SY schedule too much. (Or The Jicks schedule or the Spiral Stairs sched, etc., etc.) They won't have a new album out next year anyway, so I doubt they'll be touring *that* much.

haha... i never imagined Watt in SY.
In a kinda way it would be great. Maybe they'll add some vintage 80s SY to the setlist :D

omfg. if they had watt, would they play in the kingdom #19?

if they had watt would they play BURNIN UP?

Rob, your avatar is fucking legendary

If Pavement doesn't tour during the Summer it doesn't matter.

Sonic Youth playing with Mike Watt would be too awesome.

so far

If Watt can't do it, then my top choices would be:

The guy from Soul Coughing (Sebastian Steinberg, I think?)
Chris Squire
Dave Ellefson
Sir Paul McCartney

chris squire would be boss.

geezer butler
jimmy garrison
john paul jones
phil lesh

The dude from Tokio Hotel sure pounds a mean bass. Just sayin'

Sonic Youth 2010 tour with Mission of Burma.

Bob Weston on bass for SY.


If I saw a show with Sonic Youth and MoB I'd probably explode from awesome overload.

SY with Ellie Erickson. YES.

Sy gets ibold on teh weekends

John Cale
Cecil McBee
Billy Talbot
Brian Wilson
Stu Cook
Charlie Haden
Roy Clark
Klaus Voorman

Kim Gordon?

mingus.

Jaco
Whoever played bass on "You Can Call Me Al"

Jaco Pastorius died in 1987 but a Ghost Bassist might be something to see.

Jaco and Joni

Hey, Mingus is dead as fuck too, and someone offered him up.

Also, ghost bassists who collab'ed with Joni=win.

if they had watts they wouldn't play acoustic

I think Matt Heyner would be more likely than Watt - Watt would cost too much. And I agree with your Pave conviction - there is a lot of time between now and next year for SM to have another pissy fit. Personally I think this is driven by the wives who married into the pavement legend and then found there isn't any rock star money there, and they want some.

mmm, no problems:

pavement opening for sonic youth

:)

Flip that around and you've got yourself an idea.

~Jeremy~

WATT couldn't work out.
and not for costing too much money as someone suggested? That, I am sure would not be the problem.
The problem with WATT coming in, is that he is in at least 4 other bands right now, one of which is the Stooges, who are gonna tour next year. His schedule is way too busy to hop on board, but if it was for only a month or 2 who knows.
Hell let's dream of a Stooges/SY tour in 2010! Then we can put WATT up thar!

Paul McCartney?? LOL. He would so not be into that. :D

Watt would be awesome. They could play the White(y) Album stuff.
other bassists that would fit well would be
ME
ME
ME
My Doppelgänger/ME

I am excited for Pavement doing shows. I should try and catch them somewhere.

gary young will sub for mark.....

perhaps pavement will be a four piece? or they could invite gary young back to play bass!
