Smashing Pumpkins Live 1992 - Tristessa

[FoiEsperePaixAmour]

My sister is named after this song :D

[brikrantz]

Billy Corgan is very talented. Unfortunatley, he is also an egomaniac asshole that should NEVER talk to human beings.

[MPetrozzaIsGod]

Billy versus Kurt Cobain? Whatever!!! Thank God for firearms! Oops, I said that out loud again, didn't I?

[infradig8]

Ahhh...strat + les paul

[alternatehistories]

Looking at Billy, I'm now wondering if he suffers from Marfan's Syndrome...6'3", enlarged cranium, narrow torso, lanky...he definitely has some of the hallmarks of the disease.

[added23]

@alternatehistories you named 2 markings:lanky and narrow torso are the same. and the only reason why you think he has a big head is cuz hes bald

[Tfr3sh17]

You nigga's gotta fight Corgan vs. Cobain? Intricacy does not make a song better, not to say that The Smashing Pumpkins were less than Nirvana. Both are very good, and are very different. Just look at In Utero vs. Siamese dream. AMAZINGLY good albums, not similar at all. Love 'em both.

[thetheRedundant]

My God, that energy! Makes me wanna tear the room apart

[rcmayo]

I saw them right around this time @ danceteria nyc they fucking killed.

[DoctorGonzo32]

STOP TO TALK ABOUT KURT COBAIN LIKE 'BOUT SHIT!!!

[PhoeFira]

Ahh... The Metro. I live right around the corner. :) Fuckin' love seeing shows here!

[demonpick456]

billy's got hair!!!!! =]

[Rouladenbob]

See what happens when people are not busy with their cameras. Same concert today...half the crowd would just stand there trying to get a pic or whatever. My wish: NO CAMERAS during concerts!

[easternmind]

Tru that! And all the cell phones too, it drives me freaking nuts! It's like, c'mon people, just watch the show!

Anyway, this is awesome! Love this earlier stuff!

[organiclead]

Damn straight! It seems like that, at least for all the people who complained about moshing, the problem pretty much fixed itself when now half the crowd simply can't be arsed to jump around because it would interfere with their crappy cell phone shot video. LAME!

[frogslegsonfire]

@Rouladenbob But man you dont get crowds like that anymore :(

[punkdrummah]

@Rouladenbob it'd also help if music today was as good as this right here!

[Rouladenbob]

Also true!!!

[bdawk511]

@Rouladenbob Hell yeah man right on!!!! One camera to catch the performance and no others

[rageman]

This is great!! Thanks for the upload!

[bnshfr]

Great band, great venue. Was there hundreds of times between 88' and 96'. Missed the Pumpkins on New Year's Eve 1991, cuz I was with some chick.

AAAhhh regrets.

That was the atmosphere there, though.

[andrewface]

look at the crowd! now thats a rock show! not this mgmt anti rock bullshit we see these days

[Brouf7]

I turned 2 years old the day of this concert

[MAXKORN1]

I turned 4 years old AT this concert... fucked my life up.

[yakdoc]

I was at this show - great time. I still think Gish is their best album.

[caspator]

Yeah - agree with you - GISH & SIAMESE DREAM are the best cause they were young and wild like us .I am 30 and I am listening them since 16 ,saw them in Prague 1997 . Thesedays are about shit and technics ,cool 90`s !!!!

[iamthetoe]

They fucking rock

[ru0107]

yes!

[789pequignot]

great song

[troyselby]

That looks like the Prince of Wales Hotel in Melbourne. Am I right. Hope so cause that gig was excelent

[troyselby]

sorry just looked at description

[yoshinobuthecat]

cool as ice cream!!!!

[22Hayesy22]

Saw them last week in Perth and they are still rocking (obviously without d'arcy and james). Great to see the pumpkins back doing what they do best.

[meri]

The Best Band EVER!!!(Nirvana is good but they dont compare to the pumpkins sound)

[lroyhesta]

HELL YEAH

[Chus666]

they don't compare, nirvana is as good, if you can't hear it...you're both douchebags

[pacc837]

you consider nirvana to be as good. but thats just your opinion. and from a musical standpoint (im a musician) i can tell you that the smashing pumpkins' music is 20x more complicated and unconventional. nirvana was awesome because of kurts lyrics and because of the album they made which captivated the grunge scene.

[Chus666]

douchebags...

[JonRuth2323]

wowzas!!! so jealous of the audience. anyone know where i can purchase billy's outfit??

[SPFrobber]

nice guitar solo, I LOVE LSD, yay air

[varnliche]

[gishbaby]

[ZeppelinMcKenna]

[turorock]

Smashing Pumpkins are rock gods!

[bjthepumpkinguy]

SMASHING PUMPKINS!

[blacklab420]

Wow...I was at this show...I was 17...LOL...I wish they play the metro again.

[diosdelaluna]

buenisimooooo

[tauchimu]

lol pls uplode the sivler fukc from this show ok thnx lol?

[kurtcobainsbrain49]

i think he should have slowed the solo down, but thats why hes billy corgan and im not.

[Hastyl3]

yea, but then again Billy's the true virtuoso of alt rock, not kurt cobain or eddie vedder, BILLY MOTHERFUCKING CORGAN!

[acnepus]

totally agreee

[brikrantz]

@Hastyl3 -He's an amazing talent. As a human being he is SERIOUSLY lacking. Biggest asshole I have ever met.

[ternalator]

@brikrantz you've met him??

[brikrantz]

@ternalator Once and it was enough..I'd rather hang with James and D'arcy.

[added23]

@brikrantz why did he give you that impression?

[williampatrickcorgan]

@brikrantz he was a lovely guy when i met him, spoke for a while had a photo with him and he was very kind and nice.

[kurtcobainsbrain49]

yea man, when i first heard tristessa i was blown away, and look at the fucking crowd man there going crazy. i love that solo too. pretty smart.

[communisman]

Gish rules

[kurtcobainsbrain49]

i think it was their coolest album, its what i listen to the most.

[communisman]

Absolutely. I like all songs off Gish and I can't say that about the other albums.

[keioffice]

i totally agree, i can say that about siamese dream to though. But Gish is a perfect album

[fatcatbuzz]

I agree. That was my favorite before Siamese Dream. Siamese Dream is good, too, as well as Mellon Collie. But, you could see Billy's style going towards goth and I think losing his original fans loved about the band (although he might say that was his vision). I wish he wouldn't call his new stuff The Pumpkins and wish he would make more music like this instead of that Marilyn Manson like crap he was playing. He still had some good songs, but the sound was to weird for me.
