[lukeiscod]

one of the best band in the world's final song from the final show and the top comment is "Melissa is so freaking hot"?! Fucking hell, music really is dying on it's arse.

Poor Billy...his baby is literally crumbling. James couldn't give a fuck less. Yea Billy had resurected the "Smashing Pumpkins" but we all know (as well as Billy) that the Smashing Pumpkins from the 90s cannot be replaced no matter how hard anyone tries.I do wished they'd forgive and make up tho & do a huge reunion concert. But D'arcy needs serious help 1st! Love the Smashing Pumpkins forever!!

[saturnslament]

@HM3Giggles79 That's why he doens't want to replace it, he wants it to be something new.

[evanisovich]

He *says* it's the last song, but they actually came back and did a 26-minute version of "Silverfuck" after this.

[takerdemon]

a beautiful version of a wonderful song

[marinersrmonster]

have so many memories wraped around their music. love you guys

[soloquieroquerer]

the last of them!!

[TheConstruct]

All those people at this show should feel like idiots considering it would've been a historical night for them if the band was never reformed after this show.

They were all lied to when they were told this was the last show.

[MechanicalChrist1]

@TheConstruct In a way it was the final show. All there is now is Billy

[jamos19]

I hope this show is released on DVD one day. I live in hope.

[ryneldo]

Holy Crap I Swear That Was Robert Smith On Keyboards Lol

[edstark44]

[lovegungoodfun]

Funny I bumped into Billy befor the show he was just walkin down the street lol Man to go back in time We were all so young and ready to take on the world.

Best band ever

[seaninboise]

I'm the guy with the white hair towards the bottom :D woot

[Supaduck0]

Pumpkins should have ended here.

[miamikilo]

Melissa......... A little bit of sexy. The REal miami

[gyang333]

this is really such an awesome performance, it's too bad this wasn't the final song of the show, it would have been a great way to end it, but maybe i'm saying this because I'm not such a big fan of Silverfuck, especially a 30+ minutes one.

[seaninboise]

I was at that show and that final song was something you just had to experience, I guess. It was mind/ear blowing.

[LemonRoss]

I'm trying to find a Final Show video of Billy in tears at the end but can't find one.

[friendsandenemiesofu]

@LemonRoss I'm pretty sure I saw that one too, but where, I have no clue either

[friendsandenemiesofu]

@LemonRoss fuck, me too, I'm almost sure I saw once, one around here...

[rebeldiamond1]

Hi there!

Where is the video? I would love to see it! ;)

[DundieAward]

Melissa is so freaking hot

[dashpixie360]

you said it!

[DeeceJeff]

@DundieAward She's okay I guess

[kipzofthemud]

wheres the video?

[christurkthebrave]

wheres darcy?????????

[mistermusicpsycho26]

She'd already left the band.. shame she wasn't there though

[christurkthebrave]

why did she leave the band?is that the bassist from zwan thats in her place?

[mistermusicpsycho26]

from wikipedia (not 100% reliable but close to it in this case)Finally, in 1999, Wretzky left the band to pursue an acting career. Corgan later said she was "fired for being a mean spirited drug addict who refused to get help."[7] She was replaced with former Hole bassist Melissa Auf der Maur.

Personally, I doubt she had much say in the matter, Billy probably had the overriding influence in firing her.

[christurkthebrave]

aha.thanks.

[mistermusicpsycho26]

No worries! I don't know everything about them, but feel free to quiz me :)

[allanvendetta]

Paz Lenchantin was the bassist from Zwan

[reinsdorfsucks3]

and she was really really lame!

[quinsland88]

hows that! jimmy got off the drums to play guitar so they are all in a line to say goodbye:) shame that D'arcy aint there:(

[qwertyfuck1]

why the fuck is he wearing a women's dress from the future?

[blisteredavalon]

[hossamadonna]

[xfolkex]

[PostComment]

This isn't the last song from Metro Chicago 12-02-00... the final song was a 35 minute version of Silverfuck
