[DeathFromAbove1981]

Imaging pressing your head into the speakers... You'd become bald, infertile and scared of everything. a jibbering wreck.

[JackyRocks99]

WOW.....awesome

[Sprayfaint]

what kind of guitar was Billy playing? does anyone know?

[cadaveresquisito]

@Sprayfaint That is a Fender Stratocaster. It's the electric guitar he mostly used in these days. All the Gish and Siamese Dream era, despite the different models according to the sounding in mind, was also presented throughout the Fender Stratocaster.

This particular model, don't ask me from the douzens of Strat models which particular model is though it is defenately a Strat, was used by Billy in the more hardcore songs of the MCIS album.

[cadaveresquisito]

@Sprayfaint In 2008, Billy and Fender launched a signature model, The Fender Stratocaster Billy Corgan signature. It's a basic Strat with Billy's favourite mods such as the triple DiMarzio pick- ups. That's the guitar used to record and play live since they launched the Zeitgeist album. He plays the all songs with his new guitar and it totally gives them a different edge, though their recent material can be traced by that specific guitar sounding. They cost about €1,000 and I want one :) Bye!

[guyanaboi122]

the fuck was billy doing to his guitar? lol

[nicholsjoshua15]

@AlienXDrumXBunny Uh...it's the most original that's for sure wow.

[hiddenThecakeisalie]

@AlienXDrumXBunny what do you mean?

[Starlite992]

this is legendary

[shaisameri]

Billy is killing some demons in this performance...

[The1stchavez]

How is J.c on the skins?...he's right there playin the drums

[tjmend532]

corgan can easily switch from normal voice to scream its awesome

[UncleRuben1]

I swear this band could have been on tour with Slipknot in this era and the maggots would even dig them! So fucking heavy

[AudioslaveRATM123]

@UncleRuben1 i love slipknot and i freaking love all of the pumpkins stuff. haha

[TheSPumpkin100]

@UncleRuben1 Slipknot would be touring with them :)

[nicholsjoshua15]

@UncleRuben1 Uh this band is way better than Slip Knot. I think Slip Knot would be touring with The Smashing Pumpkins.

[ehwilliams]

he makes the song sound like a torn soul...then u throw up on it, cuase u feel it yourself..that was soul...fuck everything. bever stop thinking about this song its tattooed on my throat!!!!!

[visigoth33]

This song always reminds me of my ex-gf.especially when I feel like snapping her in two.

[shi2500]

This song is even better live. PURE MADNESS.

[shi2500]

@AlienXDrumXBunny I Love that solo. Its so chaotic and dirty !

[exwhyyou]

This is my youtube name.

[heretoostay]

Since hearing this song earlier, Rudy the striker has been stuck in my head all day.

[j3suscaz]

Bueno, ahora que estarán en bogo, psss vamos a verlos. aprovechando... jajajaja el cuarentón del billy.

[Bagelbutcher]

I miss D'Arcy. She looks so fine on stage.

Where have all the gorgeous rocker chicks gone?

Oh well, we got Lady Bucktooth, Justine Bieber and Un-Beyonce-to-me.

We are living in the plastic age of "music."

Thank God for stupid teenage girls who control the popular medium by driving sales of puppets and leaving true artists out in the rain.

Bless them with prolonged periods, especially when aforementioned singers come to town and they can't go.

BTW, WHY CAN'T SUICIDE BOMBERS TARGET THEM BITCHES?

[nicholsjoshua15]

@Bagelbutcher Melissa Auf Der Maur, Ginger Pooley, Lisa Harriton

[Cankersaurus3]

@Bagelbutcher brody dalle

[Morganfrench01]

I used to skip this song on the album, thought it was too heavy for my delicate ears. Lol. It's one of my favourites on MellonCollie now. The way it builds and the bridge and the crazy vocal. Fucking love it! It's so much fun driving along to this song (although it does inspire some lead footed-ness)

[zaynzaynzayn]

their singles can make you forget how hard the SP could rock their noise shit xo

[NosferatuNite]

Wow fucking EPIC!!!!! Incredible

[shittybullshit]

5:01 onwards, fucking sick!!!

[billsfn]

Ex, Why YOU?

[pingui0987]

[Jason1584]

[snow27white]

he's like 43 and still looks like he's 23 :)

[pingui0987]

@snow27white i wish he look like that when he still have hair

[techy75]

is that the same strat and les paul they used to play at pinkpop? hell even D'arcys bass looks like the one from pinkpop xD

[moldyrottentunafish]

@techy75 they pretty much used the same gear live all the time except sometimes billy used an SG (Machina tour and stuff) They did seem to swap stickers, look at quiet live

[techy75]

@moldyrottentunafish ive always wanted the telecaster james used for the shooting in the everlasting gaze video.

[rockernufo]

c'mon!!

Billy is fucking his guitar....

amazing song, my favorite band ever!

[thepatient08]

Pure adolescent anger melded into a song. I love it.

[daedemona3]

I always love them!

[ValdorThe1st]

People like Billy Corgan aren't made to work 9 to 5 jobs. They live in a maestro phase of existance for a whole life. He will stay sober enough people not to die enough from drugs. He's obviously in for the long haul. His soul will be a reincarnation of the messiah himself. His understanding is omnipotent. People these people have the guts to do this in front of laymen each and every day. They countinue to push the 'envelope'. Freak of nature, mutant, you know special needs person. etc

[pingui0987]

this is beter than the album verson

[deewog]

This solo is very kurt cobain like and amazing

[logitek256]

[logitek256]

this song if fucking awesome.....and the live rendition is fuckin great.....billy come back to the scene!!! kick some assssssssssssss!!!

[779flipingsweet]

This song does not fall into any music category. It can only be described as Corgan music. and holy shit! it kicks Ass!

[Charlbond]

Fuck Jimmy Hendrix!!!! Fuck Satriani!!!!! After of heard this unique solo of the brilliant Billy Corgan!

[omgyoukilledkenny94]

[vietxboi18]

[teenmachines]

[Invidente7]

Mary is some deep shit,

[miepdetruus]

dude, does it really matter? or = it that you cannot sleep at noght now?? sjongejonge zeg... mary's got some deep shit btw

[miepdetruus]

night of course

[goldgills15]

i'm pretty sure mary is a reference to mother mary, there are lots of religious references in corgan's lyrics

[primalsincerity84]

or weedsesseseses

[primalsincerity84]

pcp

[MusexInxMyxHead]

my heart rate is insane right now. <3

[karlos23023]

only a few times a song is as perfect in every possible way as this awesome song...

[12joelito]

i have this concert in vhs \m/

[divinerabit]

pure heavy metal \../ oO \../

[musicweirdo1]

Billy Corgan-pure genius.

One of the most amazing musicians out there.

[FrxBass]

Was* one of the most amazing musicians out there.

[musicweirdo1]

He's still an amazing musician/poet.

[Haushinka1000Hours]

heh, that's funny. I coulda sworn Zeitgeist was released recently.

[deapwavelio]

@musicweirdo1 This song is Smashing Pumpkins.

[musicweirdo1]

@deapwavelio Oh, I know. I'm sorry if I sounded like one of those people who only give credit to the singers. I just wanted to point out that he's a great lyricist for this song and everything. Sorry!

[charliechimpie1]

love it!

[XXjConXX]

absolutely love this song

jimmy is a drumming god

[FrxBass]

4:22 i know its not that but it sounds like ''The guy was coming in the middle of the night and go poo'' ahaha

[Johnnyluvmurdr]

It's the greatest. It breaks key, it shows no real time, and it doesn't obey standard theory at all. It's truly revolutionary.

[sluterry]

of course it obeys timing its simple 4:4 tard

[AToxicOrange]

no, it doesn't, dumbass. the solo in this breaks from the time signature. listen to it a couple of times.

[sluterry]

wow for a whole bar? who doesnt do that by accident time to time?

[AToxicOrange]

what the fuck dude. seriously, stop being an ass.

just because people are hearing things other than what you're hearing doesn't give you the right to be a dick.

[fecalfoetus]

early SP was mind blowing..for me..it all started to downhill after Melloncollie..though Adore had good tracks, SP without James n Darcy is souless..no offense to Billy..who used to be one heck of a musician...

[Gamagachee]

Well Machina wasn't so amazing it was quality though as well. Machina II is awesome though

[pattonPwr]

so what. Billy is an asshole and so are we ALL

[KaossPadGuitars]

i think billy improvises the lyrics alot in this performance

[commando]

@KaossPadGuitars

No, those are pretty much the album version lyrics... although he used to say "I wanna rape you" instead of "I wanna break you" a lot when they toured this song.

[ledbarker]

Fucking awesome performance, definitely one of their most hard core songs, that and tales of a scorched earth. All their material is amazing. I enjoyed Zeitgeist, Corgan is a fucking genius, although I do miss James and the rest of the originals. Smashing Pumpkins are definitely one of my favorite bands.

[richardcraven]

one of their hardest rocking songs. fuck yeah

[j1nt3tsu]

:D i do that with my guitar too billy is an asshole now i cant do that anymore cause it wont be origional

[ThatGvy99]

do what?

[gyang333]

he means play his guitar, apparently since billy plays the guitar it's not original anymore so he can't do it now.

[karmasoldiers]

what a bell end. if he could right a song this passionate and full of energy and anger, THEN you can say billy is an arsehole. till then, fuck off = )

[skiingpaul73]

i dont think he was trying to be original, hes just getting the effects he wants into the song.

[skiingpaul73]

great live performance

[Bogwire]

It's a scientific fact, proven by hypothesis - Smashing Pumpkins '90's era kicks absolute fu*kin arse. There is no equal...... there is nothing better musically.

Long live the 'Pumpkins!!!!!!

[caspator]

Hi I`m from Czech Republic and I love them since I was 16 - forever in my heart !! Hope I will see them some day before I die again !!!!!! praying for that

[darkxslaye]

ey man I am from czech republic too..I fell in love with this band 2years ago but iam just 15 yrs old atm..I think i must be stranger to others,cuz everyone in my age is listening Techno,hip hop,house ...There are lot of wanna be gangstas...I hate my fkin country and i hate me that i have missed their concert in czech..long love pumpkins

[Bogwire]

Hey man nothing wrong with techno, it's Bryan Adams, Roxette etc you need to worry about in Czech Rep (I lived in Praha for a few months and it's all they played on the radio - terrible lol). I am over twice your age but I DID see the Pumpkins twice in '94 & '96 - their prime! Long live Pumpkins & Czech Rep - you have good music at Palac Acropolis & Cross Club.....

[navyrunnermike]

best pumpkins song ever

[karmasoldiers]

yeah. they are fucking amazing, but this is just the best of the best

[TravuhsWree]

He must have broken the string at 8:16.

[TravuhsWree]

Wow, not even a pointless spam message to go with it, just some fucking stick figure guy saying hi silently.

[luckytwentyseven]

[TravuhsWree]

Well.... it failed.

[luckytwentyseven]

[TravuhsWree]

Wow, that was the most failure come back I've ever heard.

[clabonkid]

enjoy your existence, Travuhs. I'm sure "fail" will help you a lot.

[TravuhsWree]

I wish that made sense, I really do.

[Eradicator00987]

I always love a good rock 'n scream! The scream at 6:20 was awesome!!! Arrrrgghhhh! Blaaaaah!

[DontMockForest]

These days are gone :(

[Spic172]

why would the crowd jump when they could just mosh to this song

[agusformol1]

this song is fuckin' awesoome

[PhatLarkin]

its hard for me to listen to this off the album... only if I listen to the surrounding songs is it awesome, but this live version blows my socks off.

[luckytwentyseven]

i'm sad that these days can't be again.

i feel like great gatsby.

[yeahandvanilla]

rudy völler

[commando]

@djblackheart1989
