UHHH.. his voice changes in this song.. listen to the album version.. this is incredible.. Billy Corgan is a genius.. He knows what he is doing.. stoked to hear this.. AMAZING
Was he drunk ? I think he sings very weird. He's voice not egal. He always change the tone. I don't like. It's sad because it's one of my favorite :-( But could happend...
@noellerappo His voice was changing from th high pitch to the lower pitch you would hear on Zwan, The Future Embrace, and the later Smashing Pumpkins work. I hope I cleared that up for you.
@nicholsjoshua15 Hi, I understand. I like normally when change the tones in a song but here I didn't find it was well done. Even I think Billy is very great. Hope don't hurt you. Have a nice day ! :-)
@noellerappo Well this song was normally one of the final songs on this tour. Concerts of 2 hours to 3 hours. They were Tired :S (sorry for the bad english)
Billy would have never ever made it i any of these goddamn casting shows à la "american idol" - and that´s exactly why I love him and his voic so, so much!!
that piano synth sounds amazing. i like this better than the album version. i'm possibley the biggest pumpkins fan ever (a title claimed by many i suspect) but i dont care for his lower octave singing at the beginning. but when he breaks into the higher octave OMG the chills!!!!
Agree that the synth , makes a huge difference alright. I think tho unless he could do backing vocals and lead at the same time he had to start low so theres more impact when he goes higher. Still remember this song the one and only time i saw them live. Was incredible! Was away the only other time i could have seen em live so paid over the odds to a tout but well worth it!
@timmya4000 You should check out the version they played at Sydney 1998 concert. At the end they break out into a full electric version and Billy plays this epic solo that gives me big goosebumps.
@heathparkes10 - Your comment makes no sense. Are you talking about D'arcy or Melissa? I think everyone here can watch the video and acertain who was or wasn't there.
@alukuhito you asked if you "ca't still want D'arcy to do the high parts". and i said no, because she wasn't there. you may have wanted her to, but it's not possible. pretty simple.
@heathparkes10 - You're talking to the wrong person. Talk to the person I originally was addressing. Anyway, I like both of the gals who have done their tenure as "bass player" in the 'kins.
You're damn right, dude. Unfortunately, Billy doesn't care much about those times. I'm still waiting for the damn "last concert" dvd... I mean, now it's too late and Billy already said that he's focused on the present.. i guess we'll never have the chance to watch that...
James had nothing to do with this song... So why give him credit? I dont know what you mean? If you open your eyes Billy was the ONLY member that never left for any reason and have tried to keep the band together everyone eles Gave up or gave in to whatever they were into at the time.
When he start to just let go, 1:30-ish, and onwards...Magnificent. Billy Corgan is far from being the most technically talented singer, but I don't think there's anyone with more soul in his voice.
yeah its why he loved/hated their success. It was great that they had it for sure. But not what pressure and two-faced people that came with it according to Billy.
Mike Garson on the keyboards/piano. I'm not sure there is an acoustic guitar, but if there is, I don't have an answer for that one. Their touring lineup at this time was:
Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlain, James Iha, Melissa Auf Der Maur, and Mike Garson.
Duh.. I must be dreaming. What I thought it was an acoustic gutar is probably just the keyboard playing chords through my crappy laptop`s speakers..o.O
My favourite Smashing Pumpkins ever from the best album they ever made. I went to their Sydney ADORE concert hoping he would play this. They never got better then that incredible album and this fantastic song. If just for the creation of this alone your amazing Billy!
I've heard singers who have been on stage for longer than 2 hours sing twice as good. Its a good band but hes just a lazy live singer like ingwis said.
Are you even an artist? Then shut the fuck up. Try being on stage for 2 hours and doing that shit. Thats right. You can't. You can't even sing. Shut the fuck up. Most artists are lazy on stage to protect their voices from breaking like the pimply little faggot you are.

If you see this please reply to me I am happy to find others who have these two as their top bands they the true musicians of our time and have the appropriate attitude towards music and life and our soul.

His hopeless, paralyzing depression came through a little better in the album version, so I like it a bit more. But, this version is still equally beautiful in its own way.
love u billy 4 everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
First I want to say that you for posting this. This video is amazing. I love how Billy sings with his eyes closed and his hand up, things I do when I sing it too!
It is truly amazing how they "Make you feel happy and sad at the same time" as VeryfarGone said.
billy you just make me feel so sad and so happy...i dunno how u do it but you do deserve the fame u have! u're the best..Smashing pumpkins 4 ever...expecting the new material...i bet it's gonna ROCK!
Dang, the other awesome live video was from adore too... I'm getting it!!! Along with Dream Theaters Metropolis. They are the only other underrated band that I think can match up with the Pumpkins.. Though I wish Billy's voice was a little smoother, the voice being little is no problem itself though.
How do they do that? Make you feel happy and sad at the same time.... wow... Umm... which album is this on? I want to get all of theirs.. but there's sooo many, I just Greatest Hits, and Mellon Choly..
You remind me of the leak in my soul..
