Smashing Pumpkins - Cherub Rock (Live in Tokyo)

[mrgroovy69]

This is NOT the Smashing Pumpkins. Way too large and slick, and you can tell Corgan's heart isn't into it. I have a feeling someone offered him an obscene amount of money to do this concert and he said "Sure, I'm not an idiot, I'll take the money. But I'm gonna eff it up and make fun of you in the process." I hope he was laughing all the way to the bank after this one. BTW, I'm pretty sure he sings, "Who wants Yanni?" See early Smashing Pumpkins vids for the real Smashing Pumpkins.

@mrgroovy69 He seems pretty into it to me. This is just as much The Smashing Pumpkins as their early years. Only difference in this video is the lack of D'arcy.

I always wondered how the Machina era distortion would sound with their older music. Awesome!

@YourRump I can't imagine SP without Billy on vocals. He's the soul of the band!

Billy Corgan SUCKS at singing live. Great band, great songs, but SHIT vocals.

@YourRump

It depends on the concert champ. Theres some shocking version of billy singing on Youtube, but theres also some absolutely BRILLIANT ones. I'm sure live, in studio, not bouncing around, he sounds good.

@YourRump Well. that's cause you not was there... Listening live its not the same that listening live from YOUTUBE. The quality drop too much in youtube, specially if your speakers or your headphones sucks

[YourRump]
