I was really thinking.... could kim be... Replaced? I know it wouldnt be the pixies withought her dont get me wrong... she is one of the big reasons they are what they are.... but if Charles wanted to make a new album really bad... couldnt he get someone diffrent? I play bass in a band and we have covered Caribo,Hey,Where is my Mind?, I bleed,and Gigantic... ANdi have 2 say... some of the easyest bass lines ever! Cool... But easy. Please understand in no way am i disin on kim... but yeah.. i know charles wouldnt do that... but what do you guys think?

The Pixies are done. Time to think about the future.

I think without all the originals, it wouldn't be the Pixies.

| I feel awful for saying this, but the only replaceable Pixe is Dave. While his drumming is great, it's not unique. The others are too unique to be replaced. I don't think they would ever play as the Pixes without all 4. |

Totally agree.
Pixies can NOT exist without Kim. And same thing for other members. |

How could you replace Dave? I think he has a unique style which can't be duplicated. Plus... who would sing la la love you?

Totally disagree mrgrieves. There may be a lot of drummer's who are technically more proficient than Dave, but he has his own style and character that became an important part of their sound.

Conspiracy: Kim, Joey and Dave are desperate to reform the Pixies but with a new lead singer. They don't want that geeky UFO guy in their band anymore, so they're turning down any proposals until he loses interest.
Rumours round my neck of the woods are that James Blunt is being considered.

I don't think any of them could be replaced. That doesn't mean Frank couldn't record a decent album with just Joey and Dave (or any other combination of Pixies minus one member), but it wouldn't be a Pixies record.

Dave does have a unique sound. Listen to Bone Machine.

Dave is totally unique, especially with how he enters a song. I Bleed for example has some very original drumming.
Maybe they could replace Kim with Kelley?
Will I ever reach 1000?

| Hold up people ... I love Dave. I love his drumming. I guess I don't know that much about drumming to recognize his full talents perhaps. I do recognize the unique talents and distinctness (if that's a word) in the other three. |

Dave's drumming is spectacular! But I can see how someone might not recognize this, his style is very subtle. He is an extremely clever drummer. |

I think each of the Pixies are irreplacable. The four of them share a unique synergy and I'm glad I got a chance to see them reunited. I'm glad they didn't do a reunion minus a member or two. While Kim's bass playing might be simple, it's also beautiful.

The album would get fair to poor reviews (regardless of how good it actually is) and the music press would use it as justification to give Kim credit for the Pixies ("they suck without her!"). That said, I personally like the idea. |

| Kim has recorded a whopping 3 albums away from the Pixies to Frank's 100 or so in the past 14 years so there's just no question who the more driven and musically enthusiastic of the two really is. Look, if she doesn't want to do anymore Pixies, so be it. Big mistake for Frank to continue without her a la the new Smashing Pumpkins or the Pink Floyd mess, and that's why he won't. If he did revive the Pixies with just Dave and Joe and him, i'd like him to call the new incarnation "The Shitty Pixies" or something. Something tongue and cheek. I knew that reunion would never last and that's why I saw them 5 times in 2 countries back in '04 and '05. |

well i did say "i". but i also said "kim". never mind. that didn't make any sense.
i guess i would notice her voice being gone, but as far as bass, i wouldn't notice either way.

how long have you had this problem? if not noticing the lower frequencies doesn't go away, you should let an otologist have a look see
I Bleed, Gigantic, Debaser, Tame, Hey, Silver and more probably - all big on bass line

hah, it's not that i can't hear bass, it's just if you played me a song and asked me who was playing bass i'd be totally clueless.
it's not that i don't think you can't have the pixies without kim (i'm not sure if i worded that right), i'm just saying her bass playing is indistinguishable from other bass players, imo. well, some of the time.

While I think the Pixies would not really be complete without Kim (I think the only non-Frank member who is a thousand % essential is Joey, but that is beside the point), if she had to be replaced I would hope it would be by Eric Drew Feldman.

Does it matter? The Catholics sounded great playing Pixies without Kim's vocals.

Yeah. If there's something I miss from the Pixies as compared to solo it's Joey's guitar. |
