Saw them at Leeds that year, great performance and all but I can't help but feel bitter that other places got to see them do Cherub Rock and Silverfuck!
@grunge00123 it really disappoints with the image one has about this group. siamese dream used to be my all time favourite when i was a teenager. i actually listened to that tape hundreds of times. i remember that i actually paid someone my 3 months savings just to get me the lyrics for this album.now i'm 32 and the other day i went browsing through the old times videos and its just like someone put it- groups run out of inspiration but they don't necessarily acknowledge it.
his voice fucking sucks right now, i feel like billy right now is like the roger waters of the 2000's... egocentric, narcissist, and self-centered, i mean dont get me wrong im a die-hard pumpkins fan, but what billy is doing right now, Teargarden By Kaleidyscope... that shit aint the pumpkins, thats just him trying to adapt. all rockbands reach a limit, and the pumpkins did, but he just couldnt give it up, i mean he can still make music, but not the pumpkins, because the SP's are no longer here
@nasalscarecrow yah you can find both the 2011 live shows of silverfuck(got to type in silver crank) and geek USA, it sounds great, billy's voice sounds straight from the adore days
im not saying this isnt great and all but hasnt billy lost some spark i mean this song is so much more intense in earlier versions, and billy u might be a god but even gods should have modesty to not rip off other gods (Jim morrison end song is just fail ) that can only be sung by one and only the creator. BRING BACK IHA AND DARCY ......
I love how it goes into the Doors near the end. It fits so well! I love his newer singing style. I loved the angst of the previous years, but it was so rough and unrefined compared to the album.
I don't know about you guys, but if I showed up to this big "reunion" tour performance and Billy just busted out the first chords of Silverfuck, I would shit my pants.
@SR11089 Exactly how I felt when I saw then back in 07-- Jimmy played the drumroll that begins Cherub Rock and I nearly left my body, fully aware of the coming ecstasy in store. The distortion of that first riff sent me straight to the moon, pouring out all of the heaviness that it was meant for. The song (not to mention the whole show) blew my world apart, to put it short, and it ended up catapulting me into full-blown Pumpkinmania after that night. I'll forever be a pumpkin at heart :]]
it was in the recorded version. However, it has been a tendency to segue into another song in the middle of Silverfuck for him. He used to do "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" during the Siamese Dream tour.
..its a great song nevertheless despite the lesser angst..i still prever tha this song on viewphoria anytime...now that was kickass my favorite part was went they inclide jackboot at the end
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this is too polished. it just doesn't sound silverfuck-enough. I loved the Pink Pop version. THis just seems like another song on a setlist. eh. That's corporate billy for ya, but he's always been corporate.
at the begining of the show (today) Billy smiles with shining eyes because they were at the first shows of the new era and it was a very nervous time before the fortcoming cd Zeitgeist. They knew, how important the reaction of the crowd is and the classic fans of the "new" Pumpkins. I saw them at Novarock in Austria they were just like here. But later in january 2008 in Vienna they were in very good mood. I think they realized that people still need them...Awsome band still rulez!!!
billy didnt fire anyone besides jimmy...darcy quit cause shes a drug addict..and james got high headed and sick of playing for billy and wanted to do his own thing.
Out-fucking-standing. I wish those guys would never get old. I can't picture music without them. And I agree, kick ass lineup now. I wouldn't want Iha or D'arcy back now. They'd just be a detriment.
I sort of agree. I think the fact that Billy and Jimmy went ahead without them (although i believe Billy said he would welcome either one back at one point), shows that this "new" Smashing Pumpkins is not a nostalgia act. Plus it contains the 2 people who recorded the bulk of Siamese Dream - Corgan and Chamberlin. They are as much the Pumpkins as the "classic" 4-piece with James and D'arcy.
Who really knows who/what broke up Original Pumpkins, but this version shows current lineup kicks ass! James immediately left the stage and straight to his limo the night of the final Metro concert without saying a word to Billy or Jimmy. Who knows.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
D'arcy left for her own reasons that wern't publicly stated, maybe somehting happned during machina recording, with Iha i think he woulda been pissed but billy broke the pumpkins up then it left a hole in his heart and well chamberlin i guess was the only one who he needed in a sense as both James and D'Arcy have moved on but yeah he kinda did fire them its rude... and disrespectful to the fans
I thought zeitgeist was pretty good. Gish and Mellon Collie still are my favorites, but Billy certainly isnt selling out. I kinda wish the other band members were still here though. I miss Iha's guitar playing. Now if they came out with Machina 3, that would be selling out >.>
thats it , they are great . now its not cool abandon them .Still did us some good and are still going ! well fuck off you take yourself too seriously . TWAT
..dannynanner, i have to agree with you. I have been a huge pumpkin fan since 1990, Gish being my fave, but Corgan has always had a huge fookin ego!! How can he sack his band apart from Chamberlain and still call it the pumpkins? Whats with the fookin dress ? Pretentious c**t!!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
he's just desperate to sell out. Such a pity, because he's a great freaking guitarist. Zeitgeist is lame (can't believe I was all enthusiastic about it; guess it's the power of advertisment :-S.)
And I guess the power of the media has made you believe that they're "desperate to sell out." First off, mellon collie alone could support the entire band for the rest of their lives; second, Corgan is still very passionate about music. He writes a new song practically every day, music is his life. He's not trying to sell out, he just wants to make music for complaining fuckers, like you lot, to enjoy. But you don't deserve it.
See, not having the original members is not what even bothers me about this video or this reunion... It's the way this shit is performed, and the uninteresting people he chose. I mean, watch a live "Silverfuck" video from 1994, and then watch this. See what I mean? Give me a guitar and let me on stage with Billy Corgan and I will remind him just how to fuck shit up live like he used to do before he apparently turned 80 or something.
I wanted to love this, but I was disappointed that they're playing it this way. The way they played it back in the day (especially on Vieuphoria) was mindblowing!
Billy once said...Rock is dead...well in my opinion for now these days, he´s right!...well, you can tell by the crowd these days, standing still, listening...talkin´shit about the weather and what´s so practical about havin´ a washin´machine, BUT don´t FEEELLL the music, look at the crowd in the 90´s, you were glad you came out a live when the show was over but during the show you and all the others were one with the band...
True good rock is dead... I think music is to easily made these days. People just keep putting out the same crap over and over. I think that we will never see another movement like we saw in the early 90's with Nirvana, Pumpkins, Peril Jam, AIC, STP and all the bands from then. In Seattle it rocked you had amazing bands playing night
after night, doing crazy sets. Even if rock is dead I still like seeing Billy playing. Billy and Jimmy are the Pumpkins and the new guys do good and so is the new stuff... even if its not like the old songs its still good...
the thing i hate about Metal is the fans... i love Zakk and Dime but there fans are so closed minded like if Zakk said Kurt Cobain was stupid (and he did that) or that Billy was stupid then all of his fans would shake there heads yes mindlessly. i love metal but the fans make me super mad.
I give it to them for experimenting a bit, but this was an overall disappointment. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time waiting for actual proof that Billy is still busting out "bang, bang, you're dead..." after all these years, but it never came.
awesome song... i love how they went back to the original version, rather than drastically changing it like they did during performances throughout the 90s.
Billy's voice has improved a lot since the 90's. He no longer sounds like a pack of feral cats going through a paper shredder. I'm sure that's how everyone else would describe his voice in the 90's, too.
Oops!! obviosly, I meant "saiD", and I was referring to cmorden...wise words! Stop complaining..these are Billy's emotions, and emotions make an awesome song though it's not technically perfect! Jimmy is incredible, here.
what the hell is everyone complaining about? billy's always, always, ALWAYS messed with this song in a live setting. that's what's so fun about it. it's got a pretty open//jammy structure that just begs to be fucked with.
parts of it were kinda lame, but parts of it were pretty awesome. jimmy's drumming is out of this world.
i guess...stop crying over it. it's not "your" song. it's billy's song.
It's their quintessential jam song. There's like thirty different versions that have been played over the years. I've been enjoying the bootlegs of this tour IMMESURABLY more than the lethargic Machina shows. I'd put it behind only the Mellon Collie club tours and the Arising Tour in terms of quality of the performance.
I love prog-hard rock.. thats why tunes like this and 'united states' and all the music from the band TOOL i love also. Its true this generation has got nothing on the last generation... early 90's saw the emergence of the smashing pumpkins, Tool, nirvana, pixies, PJ Harvey, Jeff Buckley etc all played great music that you want to buy an album of. I have not bought any album from a band who have started out in the 21st century because, hearing the music, i have no desire to.
You should try The Mars Volta, even though they began in 2001. They are worth several listens, especially their live recordings since they are extended jam versions of their studio material.
I really like SP and Tool myself, so that's why I make this recommendation to you.
So badass; I think it's just as out there as any performance the Pumpkins have done of this song. Going to be great seeing the at Virgin Fest this year!
exactly what i was thinkin. i rekon a little more pumped up passion in the chorus woulda made me love this more. its one great performance, though. all those massive guitar fills inbetween made it sound way more origional.
And actually a lot of people say the opposite...that Billy's live voice is better than ever. Throughout the whole show it sounded strong and self-assured.
I love D'Arcy and James Iha, but I have to say Ginger Reyes and Jeff Schroeder are perfect...
i mean if you are such a true pumpkins fan why would you ever down billy..people change and they get older you asshole...its been like 14 years since tristessa..i mean im sure your voice doesnt get stronger as you grow old you fuckhead
his vocals aren't nearly as strong as they used to be. what a shame. by the way, before someone starts the usual web-drama this statement is coming from a fan since the first Tristessa single came out on Sub Pop. Also, there's major chemistry lacking in Billy and the new guitarist.
Love that "The End" riff at 0:29

awesome song... i love how they went back to the original version, rather than drastically changing it like they did during performances throughout the 90s.

We've all heard the 90's versions (10 or 40 minutes, whatever) dozens of times already. Better or not, I think it's a very welcome modern change.

Billy's voice has improved a lot since the 90's. He no longer sounds like a pack of feral cats going through a paper shredder. I'm sure that's how everyone else would describe his voice in the 90's, too.

Good jam. Billy Corgan looks stiff sometimes. Maybe he should ditch the cape. ;)

Oops!! obviosly, I meant "saiD", and I was referring to cmorden...wise words! Stop complaining..these are Billy's emotions, and emotions make an awesome song though it's not technically perfect! Jimmy is incredible, here.

I like it. If you don't like it, I think Ashlee Simpson is lip synching an upcoming album, go listen to that.

shame on billy.
he drove away his band,
shaved his head,
put on a cape,
and totally forgot what it was all about.
i can't for the life of me understand why they did away with the ending of this song.
watch when they played this at pinkpop 1994.
blow your mind it will.
thefunkynugget 4 years ago
what the hell is everyone complaining about? billy's always, always, ALWAYS messed with this song in a live setting. that's what's so fun about it. it's got a pretty open//jammy structure that just begs to be fucked with.
parts of it were kinda lame, but parts of it were pretty awesome. jimmy's drumming is out of this world.
i guess...stop crying over it. it's not "your" song. it's billy's song.
cmorden 4 years ago
It's their quintessential jam song. There's like thirty different versions that have been played over the years. I've been enjoying the bootlegs of this tour IMMESURABLY more than the lethargic Machina shows. I'd put it behind only the Mellon Collie club tours and the Arising Tour in terms of quality of the performance.

Nu-Pumpkins do Silverfuck "I'm lost in space I don't know what to do"
I am so undecided about this.
It kinda rocks but it's also kinda not the same (read: kinda lame)
the part where jeff and billy face each other and wail,
they're in the kimono and space cape,
it looks like two epileptic aliens trying to talk with each other through
their strange guitar-shaped communication devices.
the cover of "the end" sounds better than the cover of silverfuck
then again that's just an opinion.

I love prog-hard rock.. thats why tunes like this and 'united states' and all the music from the band TOOL i love also. Its true this generation has got nothing on the last generation... early 90's saw the emergence of the smashing pumpkins, Tool, nirvana, pixies, PJ Harvey, Jeff Buckley etc all played great music that you want to buy an album of. I have not bought any album from a band who have started out in the 21st century because, hearing the music, i have no desire to.
deperer 4 years ago
You should try The Mars Volta, even though they began in 2001. They are worth several listens, especially their live recordings since they are extended jam versions of their studio material.
I really like SP and Tool myself, so that's why I make this recommendation to you.

exactly what i was thinkin. i rekon a little more pumped up passion in the chorus woulda made me love this more. its one great performance, though. all those massive guitar fills inbetween made it sound way more origional.

concerning about bills' voice from then and now-- i think, i hafta agree with curduroysleaze here..
bjthepumpkinguy 4 years ago
I'd say he's singing with tour longevity in mind. He's most definitely not the Friggin Animal he once was. Nothing wrong with that.
corduroysleaze 4 years ago
True. A lot of my favorite lead singers are using a different style. Lets be honest, age will get you if nothing else does.
PersonalJesus348 4 years ago
And actually a lot of people say the opposite...that Billy's live voice is better than ever. Throughout the whole show it sounded strong and self-assured.
I love D'Arcy and James Iha, but I have to say Ginger Reyes and Jeff Schroeder are perfect...

i mean if you are such a true pumpkins fan why would you ever down billy..people change and they get older you asshole...its been like 14 years since tristessa..i mean im sure your voice doesnt get stronger as you grow old you fuckhead
Coletonlridge 4 years ago
his vocals aren't nearly as strong as they used to be. what a shame. by the way, before someone starts the usual web-drama this statement is coming from a fan since the first Tristessa single came out on Sub Pop. Also, there's major chemistry lacking in Billy and the new guitarist.
