Smashing Pumpkins Today Live

[thegrungewave]

u gotta luv Darcy! she's such a tomboy but @ the same time she's kinda hot too! i think it has something 2 do w/the fact that she's playing grunge bass. that shit's fuckin' awesome!

[paramorevampire1996]

sara helped me find this ! 

[heatherlb42]

Thank you Sara Quin

[heatherlb42]

Man I freakim love this song!

[theconcertbox]

So, what's great about being old along with Miss Quin is that I can share the same story, in fact I just cleaned out my childhood bedroom & unearthed my very cherished Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness poster the other day that I spent hours staring up at in Jr. High...the other really cool thing is that if you look where this is filmed, at the Aragon, in Chicago...Sara-if you catch this, talk about coming full circle you just played here last year! :) Same stage-Miss Quin. So cool. <3

[sexylibrarian7]

Huzzah, huge Smashing Pumpkins AND T&S fan here. :D This is amazing!

[countingmx]

Of course, there's a Montreal angle (no surprise there, Sara!): it was the Pumpkins' front man who put Montrealer Melissa Auf der Maur in touch with Courtney Love, whose band Hole, needed a capable bassist. Go Montreal!

[FINALRIOT15]

Thank you Sara for sending me here. :)

[immutableshit]

Lulz at tegan and sara fans who are too young to know who the smashing pumpkins are.

[erasethemaps]

oyay. tegan and sara fans now qualifying themselves as a smashing pumpkins fan because skq told them to listen to today. U GO GUISE.

[JulielovesTandS]

[coolnerdie]

@yellowlamp1313

wow 346 t+s fans!

[nicholsjoshua15]

Billy Corgan's voice is the sound of The Smashing Pumpkins. What do people want some cookie cutter American Idol, corporate puppet singing The Smashing Pumpkins "Today" with auto-tune, his pants hanging off his ass, or a nice suit, dreamy hair and, a pretty face. Fuck that give me raw talent any day.

[mrOrange1251]

i always love how they fuck up the lights at first

[kennygriff24]

Would kill to be at that concert. Siamese Dream was a total coming out party for these guys. Also, I love this live version. James's guitar sounds way better here than on the record.

[SOADownsnubs]

what a classic little riff

[squid262]

They kind of suck at keeping time lol. The band I'm in is having the same problem though.

[BillyCorganlikespie]

@squid262 How exactly do they suck at keeping time? They're well tight

[squid262]

@BillyCorganlikespie Headbang at 0:15 and then jump to 2:00

[tommogz1]

he looks like the guy from my chemical romance with hair hahaha

[BananaButterPickles]

boom my eyes out

haha poor billy :)

<3

[Verse34k]

the guitar tone.... sooo perfect

[discipulodecobain]

aqui queda claro que este es un temazo, en el disco queda muy pop

[nirvanarugby]

imagine smashing pumpkins with a different singer

[gffrycole]

haha the pumpkins wouldnt be if it weren't for that guy and besides..his voice is unique

[Weslo2]

his voice is super-unique

It's so raspy, yet comprehensible

I love it

[CoolRastaKieron]

I wouldn't dare...

It would be a huge pile of crap, probably the same as what you have in between your ears if you think SP would've got anywhere without Billy

[nirvanarugby]

c i was just imagining if u still had billy as the creative force but a different vocalist

sp are my favourite artists but im not goin 2 say billies voice is gd live

because it isnt, his awesome guitar skills carry it

[CoolRastaKieron]

Ahh, I get ya

Still though, I couldn't imagine SP with a different singer

If someone else sung Jellybelly, or most of the other angry songs from mellon collie, it wouldn't sound as good

[nirvanarugby]

true true

[techy75]

haha today live in chicago! got it off of the rarities and b-sides album. i like to play to this one so i know if i can handle the tempo of this song i could handle the tempo of the priginal song....

[StreetboardersBR]

one of the best songs ever

[charritho]

he wants to sing so hard in the chorus

but he can't ,, ohh cobain why are you dead?  :(

[Degges99]

cobain and layne staley

[crazeebassist94]

cuz cobain sucks

[Jellyhat]

he sounds so shit live made me cringe

[LUDWIGPARIS]

The tempo during this live version is slightly faster than the song on the album. I've noticed that about quite few SP songs.

[eemnesser]

What the hell... His Voice!

[Connor2K1]

I'll boon my eyes out?

[buikurama]

LOL. just lol.

he can't say burn right XD

[FrxBass]

LOLLL

[6Ed6]

zomg WHATS WRONG WITH HIS BACK

[anom158]

Is it just me, or does billy look more alive in his performances when he was younger, or when he had hair.lol.

None the less, some of the greatest music I ever heard.

[maroonhero]

the whole second chorus is the best. you have this loud growling from billy, then he goes all quiet. that's cool.

[brappa011]

zomg billy had hair!

haha i hope they play near me soon

[Tylerlemons947]

Best Performance of Today Ever!

[bellarz]

best part is at 2:12 billy's voice man. hahahahaha and then james does the cool wah thing.

[3296856]

The quality of this video is amazing. Thanks man.

[ROSYA1308]

smashing pumpkins great..nice 2 c d show

[JEJ0090]

gerard probably sucks the big at guitar. billy corgan is waaay better

[Ghost1680]

He does look almost exactly like Gerard Way in this video though. No wonder there's comparisions. But Mcr do indeed suck a big long fat one

[theRegulator91]

makes sense Chicago band record a concert in Chicago where the crowd will be into it most. Gotta Love Chi Town

[oliuka]

I love this concert!:)

[kurtasa]

My Chemical Romance seriously sucks a huge one compared to the Smashing Pumpkins, the early 90's will never be replicated artistically by cookie cutter bands like MCR in today's music scene.

[TheDudeNamedJake]

Stanzmastertron7000 ur a dumbass...the dude below me is right...u fucking retard

[joeycourtz]

cant you people grow up? if u look at SP's myspace they have MCR in their top friends...so obviously Billy Corgan thinks quite fondly of MCR, and i can guarantee none of you would talk shit about them in his presence. accept the fact that people like different music, and stop being so fucking childish

[toxicXwonderland]

honestly i couldnt have said it better.

if you like a band or not, everyone has their opinions. but reconize talented where there is some, and my chem are a bunch of talented guys. and for gods sake, stop bringing up mcr in the smashing pumpkins videos, just because they are huge smashing pumpkins fans. its 2 totally different types of music, both good in their own way.

[ominesentx]

To be honest with you, I Would, i'd kick gerards white trash ass infront of billy any day,

[baybemaybesomeday]

I love the live-versions from the viephoria vhs/DVD... especially my favorite song soma!!! where can I get it!!! I have to have it... :/ <3

[freakwincyisgay]

why can't you like both ? i do..listen to MCR's old stuff ..very artistic ( I like the pumpkins more tho)

[Stanzmastertron7000]

Attention: My Chemical Romance fans. You are not welcome in Smashing Pumpkins video pages because of your inferior taste in music and lack of ability to the tell the difference between art and cliche. Die of AIDS.

[throwingstick]

to clear things up, and summarize the latest posts, billy = cool, gerard = fag. all happy now?

[CCStud1]

fags

[bustedmcfly2001]

ur a fag

[bustedmcfly2001]

well you're right Gerard looks like Billy, and for ur fucking info Gerard isn't a fag so go fuck urself.

[conzooo]

gerad is a fag

[bustedmcfly2001]

wow he looks like Gerard Way in this vid. great song,great performance!

[JamesMXX]

dont ever compare Billy to that fag Gerard

[DarcyxSardaukar]

gerard gay looks like billy corgan, not vice versa, and billy has talent gerard gay doesnt.

[woodke1235]

Billy Corgan is one of the most talented musicians to live

[Dasuitekilla]

ya life rules

[BurntOfferings]

damn, i shouldn't have sold this dvd.

[OriginalPranksters]

the pumpkins RULE! i love that stratocaster billy's playing

[musebeliever]

I really love this version, the singing of Billy is amazing! I love the way he souts and then whispers and the way he sings the last sentence with a raucous voice. Amazing! O_O

[cornnutz08]

I love smashing pumpkins, and the cd version of today is not close to my favorite song, but this version is amazing.

[Dylan31007]

jimmy turned to drugs before and billy booted him, then marcie kinda left cause billy was super controlling, thats why they sound so good

[Jept]

marcie?! ha ha D'arcy dont ya mean?! =P

[Dylan31007]

hahahaha yeah sorry

[nikkikruspe]

fukin awesome!,, can i ask why did billy cut his very gawjus hair off?

[dave1999artwork]

I like the bald look, it looks... melancholy. I cried when I heard this song first few times

[6wicked6purple6]

hey does anybody know what day and month this concert was??

[metalguy12]

im not really sure but correct me if im wrong looks like this concert is at the aragon in chicago.

[dummytree]

It is

[TheCrappyMusicians]

reminds me of a green day concert at the aragon around this era. it's on youtube if you want to check it out.

[ooojennaooo]

she didtn "turn" to drugs, she was probably just having a wild night like all of us. Ive done coke before and im not a druggy.Jeeze people you hear someone was caught with something and their immediately a druggy or has been. Darcy still owns Scratchie Records anyways, she just doesnt wanna be in the band anymore she like hates Corgan.

[time2rise]

strongly suggested is the purchase of veuphoria or how ever you spell it. a true pumpkins fan classic

[buzzbozkarma]

D'arcy is my idol! i mean...okay, maybe not for the drugs....but she's SO COOL!!!

[truie7]

shes great hey!? its a pity that she turned to drugs though- she was so beautiful.

[TheOpiumDistrict]

Oh the memories! We were blessed to have those bands in the 90's. :)

[okkobokko]

This is what i've been looking for, for he past hour.

[Ominosus]

This is them at their best really, here and around the Meloncholy and infinate sadness album times.

[Keiretsu]

this is the best live version of today ive ever heard
