Poison the Well - Today (Smashing Pumpkins Cover)

[8787raiden]

The guitars were lacking something,otherwise good! PTW!!!!

[shanenzl]

PTW are one of the best hardcore bands going around. And i agree with negativedrew its a hardcore band expect screaming or else dont listen to it.

[k00lk33f420]

na dude, I think PTW's earliest work was the best concerning vocals, that scream was raw, angry, and unique. Shit is awesome

[negativedrew]

lol at all these dorks complaining about screaming from a hardcore band.

[shymenH]

this cover is fucking bullshit. seriously. the screaming is just lame. if you want to hear a proper cover of today, check out ben kweller's version.

[ChrisIg120185]

@shymenH shut the fuck up dude, PTW kicks ass no one cares about Ben Kwellers version. PTW straight up did an amazing cover. The screaming is better than your mom in bed. fag

[Nfox0900]

the actual singing is great and otherwise this is great but I still hate screaming like this. it just seems so obnoxious especially if you can actually sing. Yelling is a pivotal part of rock and metal, but screamo and screaming in general seems to abuse it. Bands like the foo fighters and a large majority of metal bands use it to their advantage without relying on it for their sound. Iteresting idea, but I feel the screaming throws off the sound of the song a bit.

[phil600616]

@Nfox0900 you sir, are a musical idiot. The voice is just like any other instrument. I suppose you'll say that distorted guitars are an abuse of the blues distortion classic in jazz.

[Nfox0900]

@phil600616 What? No of course not! I have nothing against screamo or screaming in general, its just not my personal taste, as I said to me it seems like it takes away from the actual voice of the singer. That said its sometimes used to perfection, but on a song like this that was written specifically to sound happy and cheery despite its dark lyrics, it doesnt quite reach the same effect. Its not like Im a close minded music fan, I listen to everything from A7X to the Doors to Nirvana gladly

[Nfox0900]

@phil600616 basically what I'm trying to get at here is that it's not really my style. I have a friend who sings for a screamo band, ive seen his band a couple times, and enjoyed it despite my dislike for the style. Everyone has their own taste in music, so I dont bash peoples interests usually. Its an interesting cover of the song, in all honesty though while its an okay cover to me, I cant say its really good based mainly off my musical tastes.I have an open mind, I also have a musical opinion

[Nfox0900]

@phil600616 Finally, maybe before you claim that someone has musical idiocy, next time you should try taking to heart that not everyone likes YOUR style of music. Thats why theres so many different genres of music, musical opinion. Unless someone likes Bieber. then theyre an idiot.

[phil600616]

@Nfox0900 I happen to like ever genre out there, except country, and justin bieber. I have a 50k+ library with everything from Ravel to Kitaro and Napalm Death to Redman, and some Gloria Jones on Vinyl. I was merely stating, while its OK to have your own opinion, that you can say was you said about screaming can apply to any other musical instrument in existence, even the kazoo.

[dandandandandanable]

Yup, the screaming killed it for me. Ruins the song for me.

[gstlnrd1]

Wtf? Fail!

[shaydrums]

I knew all these guys growin up-wow I'm really disappointed in this--ra ra ro ror ra ra

[nuggetcrook]

[TheManolakis]

[psicopelex]

those faggots think they are punks, metals or even rockers just by singing the way they sounded when they were raped... but is fine... lets leave that behind, i cannot understand why they need to screw such beautiful songs like Today...

[BobbyWonKenobi]

I would love for this band to make more covers. Long live PTW, really disappointed that they are on 'hiatus'.

[metalcoremarc]

great cover. amazing

[ChemStar26]

Listen to their original shit, you can tell that this is old from when they 1st started out... Trust me I've seen this band with the Deftones years back and they are one of the best bands Ive seen live..

[MykeMetyll]

i really dont get all the hate for this cover

[OrangeJuiceMuzzle]

Horrible

[FueILines]

wtf is this? plz tell me they arent a real band?

[MykeMetyll]

AS a huge Pumpkins fan, I liked this.

[PandaBearAl]

TBH both bands suck, whiny as fuck

[randomhero13]

this is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

[AngryKhan]

Honestly, i liked the intro guitar, but after i heard the screaming i was laughing at a song that normally makes me sad.

[chaospunx45]

oh my god this is horrible. go back and sing your shitty fake hardcore.

[kbaptiste28]

@chaospunx45 so appearantly everything that isn't just like everything else is fake? did you know? you suck.

[chaospunx45]

@kbaptiste28 Haha I never said that, I simply stated it's a horrible cover which it is. if you don't like it then go cry about it to this shitty band.

[anormalnick]

@chaospunx45 this is really old..

try to listen the new material..

is such a good thing..

even youll never understand it..

[DanielAdamFORGET]

@chaospunx45 that was the most ridiculous statement ever. fuckin rejected. IF YOU dont like this shit gooo fucking post on your " shinedown " videos . fuckin ppl.

[TheRattlerProduction]

awful cover.

[779flipingsweet]

This is terrible! Worst Pumpkins cover ever!! The original version absolutely destroys this.

[TheRugbyman7]

I personally think this is complete shit. Go listen to some real Smashing Pumpkins.

[Brown86Town]

@TheRugbyman7 Seriously. HORRIBLE!

[Lateralus347]

This was originally gonna go on Tear from the Red, then that got scrapped and it was gonna be on a split with some band, then THAT got scrapped and now it's just a bootleg, which is a shame. I used to love this cover but now I prefer the original.

[mesapraum]

i'm fan of both bands, but i gotta say...this cover sucks bad :(

[SonWayward]

As a pumpkins fan I have to say I hate this....

[AfiNinjaFromMars]

Well that was.....ahh awesome! ;D

[FxtrotOscrRmeoDelta]

Being an old-school Pumpkins fan and Poison the well fan. I've always loved this Cover Version. But they never released it ( I've got all their CD's Even the record store day one) and its a crappy recording anybody know where I can buy this?

[tapo206]

badass !

[mrozzy1231]

awesome!!

[shrew616]

could never find out why they recorded this in such shitty quality...but it gets its point across!

[illfists]

@shrew616 lol its bad quality because the file has probably been compressed so many times from p2p.. I have an .m4a of this that sounds just fine :)

[bjurni]

@illfists , upload the better quality one for goodness sake! <3

[Addergebroed]

@illfists hey dude, can you upload that .m4a somewhere?or maybe just put it on youtube? I'd kill for this cover

[synystergates07]

@illfists actually the quality of this, sounds EXACTLY the same as it did the first time i heard this.. more than 10 years ago.. so..yeah... the one you have, probably was remastered by someone. ..

[NewOut1]

@illfists send it to me

[p0werc0rdz]

@illfists can you upload me the m4a?

[libtechrider2010]

great cover guys, love it!!!!

[SodyPopInSpace]

That's totally insensitive to rapists.

[aarondude66]

I worship old school pumpkins stuff

but this is fucking sick

[psychopsilocybin1983]

cool version.. shitty recording

[ADiseaseNGodsCountry]

how is this an abomination? they fucking' ripped this track.

[Kzierbold]

This is a fucking abomination.

Go listen to the original version, seriously. Way to rape a classic.

[teflon442200]

@Kzierbold i prefer this one.

[diesel7108]

wicked

[ckyfraz]

I Heard this before the pumpkins version, knowing it was a cover.

but it opened up the pumpkins to me,

[Nordkapp9]
