The Smashing Pumpkins- tarantula reading 07

[danielmcshane]

they played Belfast for nearly 3 hours straight and barely stopped for breath. it was OUTSTANDING.

[sianys881]

i was there too! :)

[mrzerodocfan]

Descendant of Corganism at Amazon

[DJDanJames]

I was there!!!!!!!!!!

[StueUK]

Thats the Way and United States are the best off Zeitgeist...

And after Leeds, the news that they were touring this feb was incredible, Manchester on the 15th shall be amazing.

[joschmo85]

this has got to be there best song on there new cd by far. its the only new track that even comes close to 90s pumpkins. the live show still looks awesome tho.

[camobaby]

i was there XD......Billy gets his solos 100%

IM GOIN TO SEE THEM AGAIN AT V

[Collins1990]

Pumpkins were awesome [and I love this song], as were NIN, so it was a great closing night... much better than RHCP the night before, which was worse for me than most people there, as I'd seen them play live and play well. Was a shame that the coverage was only 4 songs but if you want full "coverage", buy a ticket and go!

[EllaStellaOlla]

i saw them in vancouver a couple weeks ago and a guy died in the mosh pit too

[Generalk]

Amazing live. I wish I had a goof video of Doomsday Clock live. Jimmy Chamberlain is the best drummer in the world

[faustbanana]

Best song they've done for years. I've gotta see them live.

[Balddi7]

The best that they done is "A bullet with butterfly wings"

[pauldavies88]

Seconded.

[musketeer666]

that bassist is so hot!

[Speirs2006]

Ginger Reyes? Lol i totally agree, probably the best looking musician ever (apart from Carah Faye of course, Shiny Toy Guns for people who don't know)

[prophets77]

this is to bloodyxxxmary..you felt exactly the same as i did then! bbc just cant do anything right. ¬¬_

[FruscianteLennon311]

fuck you spam robot

[bloodyxxxmary]

I was so sad i couldn't go to this so i got myself all excited to watch the coverage and we got like 4 tracks! I was so disappointed.

[krapowa]

If they ever come to Ireland I gotta fuckin see them ...

[GobBass]

they probably won't come back because according to my dad the last time came here people got crushed.Let's hope they come back to Ireland.Gotta love Ginger on the bass!

[krapowa]

Ah that sucks ... I hope they do.If not Il have to settle for them at Glastonbury , or Reading next year :D

[Twighter]

i was at that gig, it was 1996 in the point, i was only 13, a girl died at that gig, she was 17, Bernadette O'Brien, she got crushed in the crowd and passed out, she died later that night, it wasn't over crowded, the crowd were just goin mad cause it was the pumpkins, it wasn't a pure mosh pit all the same!!! Billy n D'arcy were pleeading to the crowd to calm down but the in end they all walked off. I hope to see the pumpkins here again, but i don't know if we will

[CornOnTheCob4U]

They were so amazing..

I was at the front xD ohhh yeah <33 !!

NIN were brill n all :P

[ChanceEncounters]

I shuffled forward to the front row for the Pumpkins Nin were magnificent too they don't make em like they used to! Interested in in dark/Ambient music? check out Lana,Flatspin, Halo-ego-trip on our films here under chanceencounters and website chance-encounters.o r g

[prophets77]

fucking bbc cunts for only playing 4 songs! gaahh that REALLY pissed me off ¬¬_

[wiselemon]

fucking awsome gig, i was there in the crowd :D

[nomstain]

indeed, awesome, chillies were poo....

[darkorion1]

Awesome i was in the front row too! Fought my way there the opening dark music was by 'the Goblins' from the horror film 'Susperia' But the pumpkins kicked ass, fans know they are always different live than to the albums in most cases and do great 'for fan' epic versions of the songs like the 20min version of Heavy metal machine!

Jc

[CrustyBiker]

They best play some of them on the Highlights on BBC3 in about 20 mins as Video didn't tape while I was there in the masses at Reading, anyone know where You can get the full show shot by the BBC...uncut!? 11:40pm Mon

[CrustyBiker]

They played two and a half right at the end! Excellent! 2:14am Tues

[workingclassbum]

I'm a bit disappointed they left out disarm, ava adore and thirty three but it was still amazing. Best act there. The Chillis had a crap song lineup.

[sgtDD]

1979, probably their most commercially successful songs, though definately not my favourite.

[eddcwilliams512]

what was the acoustic jam in the middle called ?

that was a fuckgin awesome way to finish off the musique.

[OPvideo]

Check out my videos...I just added "Cherub Rock" from Reading 2007. I have the whole 2 hour gig on DVD!!!

[madhatters2006]

Any chance of a copy of that DVD - we only had our little cam on us :(

[OMGwellPWNED]

I was the guy right in the fooking middle, barrier style. I swear to god thats one of the best things i've seen my whole life.

[camobaby]

i was at the front!! bullet with butterfly wings was amazing and zero but im so fucking gutted they didnt play disarm and silverfuck :( that girl flashed her tits lol

[Mankzz]

I was there,front row.

I'mglad they decided to Play CHerub rock as the closing song aswell.

[virginatlantic2006]

I saw these in leeds and they were amazing we kinda got ripped of for the tour costumes though only ginger had her suit on me and my friend wanted billy to wear his dress ^^

[MGMS123]

Yeah I was there, hardly anyone was at shit Klaxons the crowd were going nuts, they were easily the best band, the sound was perfect and Billy's guitar and singing was fucking awesome!!!!

[prophets77]

i got so pissed off when they played ALL of the chili's and razorlights sets,and ended up playing 4 of the pumpkins songs! they were talking while bullet with butterfly wings was playing! =[

[tomke1e]

exactly, i could hear zero and they cut to some guy talking to people getting on a ferry yet they showed that some piano playing bullshitter who talked instead of singing twice! and now they've only got 4 songs up on the website there's more footage of the subways than smashing pumpkins wtf, radio one needs a kick up the arse

[BalloonRace]

I stayed up til half 3 last night watching the coverage and I can't understand why they played full sets from bands The View but only 2 songs from the headlining Pumpkins! Then again it's England and they're not really that much of a big deal here. I guess it's just not what the Radio One kids want

[bassbass23]

I was there and Pumpkins were easily the highlight on Sunday. Trust me, they are a big deal. The crowd were going wild!

[stevensegal1]

I was there, just brilliant!

[MarcusBowen]

One day I'll see them!!!, BBC's coverage was really bad tho, last year we had 9 of 10 songs from Feeder's set (was there lst year), and all of Muse's. Why not repeat the same idea this year?!.

Still, at least we didn't get 5 showing of the same song from the same band!!. Remember Franz Ferdinand's "Take Me Out" being played ad infium on BBC during Glasto 04?.

[davidHasselhoff]

Wish they'd get their asses to Ireland.Great to see that they're still great.

[DavePakaPali]

I had center/front view, was fucking awesome. I can't think of much that compares to that Sunday.

[truronianknight]

saw that last nite on bbc3, only two tracks though, not a favourite of the radio 1 bandwagon i suppose
