The Smashing Pumpkins - Live rare 001

[Chanitooo]

quiero llorar... hay que inventar una maquina del tiempo

[adamchi24]

Brilliant

[nicopolous]

@avedic - totally agree :) 

[avedic]

no band exemplifies what the early 90s alternative music movement was about. nirvana was the poster band but smashing pumpkins, from 88 to 95 absolutely stole the show in terms of actual musical output. they had such a lovely sound in those days. youthful blissed-out psychedelic dreamy heaviness. i was always a bit sad when billy decided to become a vampire. :/ the early days of the band are without a doubt what inspired me to write my own music. SP were always a band loved by other musicians..

[johnsomnia]

@avedic Totally with you. They had their moments in the Uncle Fester days but they had lost their hunger and grasped at this sort of cliched version of the "angst" thing when they were so much better in their melodic, dreamy, psychedelic incarnation. "Zero" my ass. But that early run - what a run! So glad I saw them in '94. 

[FUDGEpedals]

cool, sounds like different lyrics in this version. I wish I knew he was saying

[youmomhowdo]

This video needs more D'arcy.

[youmomhowdo]

@scalawagify Correction - Gerard Way looks like Billy Corgan.

A fag Billy, though.

*fart noise* "bwah"? lmfao

[TheTwoTauruses]

I wish I knew more about this recording. It's rare to see the Smashing Pumpkins in such a private setting. And to set the record this song is called "Drown" and it was first released on the Soundtrack to the film "Singles," although it has been officially released on other compiliations since then as well.

[Chammy92243]

*sniff* is it me or does anyone else feel almost sad, like, man, where have those good times gone? Back in those days when music was more innovative , and original (not that it ain't still) but something about before that music lacks now. I remembered when i first started playing in hardcore then in the alt rock bands and Pumpkins and Helmet were my major influences in music , it seemed more of fresh times then

[avasaturnine]

makes me sad too. :( @Chammy92243

[KnightOfAmarCostume]

@Chammy92243 maybe u'd like to say "when music had soul and balls"

[fabiamcho]

[airtrecksora333]

i love drown great song but this looks older then when the song same out in seisime dream in 94.

[tiddlywinks98712]

this looks like its 1991

[rohiogerv22]

This song came out before Siamese Dream. This had to have been before he even released it for the "Singles" soundtrack, or even before Fruit Bad Salad, because he doesn't have lyrics written for the end yet.

[Kierono10]

1) It's Siamese Dream not seisime...

2) Drown wasn't on Siamese Dream

3) Siamese Dream wasn't released in 94, it was 93

[TheSPumpkin100]

@airtrecksora333 Bro, you best be trollin'.

[MAD1981full]

What is the title of these song ?

[Lasher29]

@MAD1981full Its called 'Drown'

[f3nderstrat4]

So. F$%king. Brilliant. Old Pumpkins, why don'cha come back now.

[slovan]

@f3nderstrat4 Because of Billy.

[faridjabba]

isnt it Starla´? Drown´? (that yelow green album I forgot the name)Im not sure, mmmm nice, what year, 1989 ? == I coudlnt see DArcy, pity

[fertuiee]

Starla is from "Pisces Escariot" , Drown is on the "Singles" movie Soundtrack...which also worth a watch as its got a cameo from Alice in chains plying in a bar in Seattle. ;)

[zachpygott]

@faridjabba the album is something like ''pisces iscariot'' that has songs like la dolly vita and starla and blue etc i dont know what drown was on even though it owns but it was on the greatest songs cd rotten apples

[rohiogerv22]

it was on the "Singles" soundtrack.

[billycorgan1967]

Such a great song, its weird that billy is dressed kind in a goth way, by 1992 their goth influence was totally gone.

[eatALOTsleepALOT]

gish days

[fertuiee]

"Drown".........from the movie "Singles" soundtrack. You'll stil get hold of it!! and its a B-side for something or other i think also.

[SPlistener]

What is the name of the song they are playing?

[chiznarlie]

why did corgan ever shave his head? he is awesome one notch more by far sporting long, free-loading hair with lyrics blasting out through its roots

[darkshiningstar3]

because he has a receding hairline he probably is uncomfortable with it like many men are on this planet

[kennymc1020]

theres jimmy what a great time to remember. d'arcy Iha 2:24 the best

[8ulls3y3]

what a great period for rock music it was.

This tune is one of my favorite pumpkins'.

[amontgo11]

Wow great vid, thanks for the post!

[Defender1963]

Yeah its rare, they used to record in their apartment.

[marcps4145]

song is called drown and its not rare

[BayviewFinch]

It depends what you call "rare". This song never came out on any of their normal albums. It was included in the soundtrack of a movie called "Singles", and much later on a Greatest Hits album. So in the day, if you liked this song and wanted a copy, you had to buy a soundtrack album with a bunch of non-SP stuff on it, or wait until your local alternative station happened to play it. I remember.

[skizatz]

gotta love young billy.

[LoLnoob43]

ahh they're playing drown. i love that song. :O

[ZER0Spirit]

Is this in that little house they used to jam together in? I always thought to myself that Drown should have been on Gish.. It had that element to it

[stabbakop]

i think this video might have been uploaded by billy corgan himself..figuring from the chicago in his screename, age 40, the account was created last week, rarity and randomness of the video, and that hes from france (the pumpkins are recording in france as of feb. 08).
