Nina Gordon on the Smashing Pumpkins

[TerrenceWJ9]

Disco sucks,

Punk is Dead,

Give me Rock

or Give me Head.

[WarmothGuitarist]

Nice Ben Harper poster in the background...

[cannibalonXthedead]

".....that dude's dark..." xD lol. i love billy corgan but i do not agree with him

[gothnickify]

Who the hell would speak such bullshit about a group called Vampire weekend being the best band of this decade? In my opinion Vampire weakend really sucks; they have nothing ground breaking or original about them& their music should never ever be put into the same catagory as The Smashing Pupkins or Veruca Salt. James Iha is a way better guiarist then v guitar and this part is a fact. Never the less The Samshing Pumpkins and Veruca Salt were some of the greates music of the 90s and of all time.

[goggishdotcom]

Ah... Too many people bitch about the 90's, but there WERE a few magic moments.

[rgnygvbhtf]

@goggishdotcom a FEW?

The 90's were magic.

[amperro]

Has Nina just fallen off the face of the earth? Her website is gone, her MySpace is not playing any songs, and there is nothing new about her on Wikipedia.

I have found no current information about her after 2006.

I know she is a full time mom now, but has she given up on her music career altogether?

[KaersonTV]

Straight outta compton :D

[stalkher]

good story

[BlackTeddies]

Yea honestly it was too good to be d'arcy's voice .

nice story .

He didn't say anything parce que everyone knows billy's deep.

[TheNuzt]

this vid goes into my top of youtube ever . im fan of corgan and his music im 30 and would lisent his music un till the day i die . LoL Fucking Truht Corgan is distrubed caracter XDDDDDD

[Gamagachee]

LMFAO Nice to hear something from James saying something about Billy.

[kayaksta]

nina is such a beautiful girl. sooo cute

[kilowatt047]

I loled! "that dude's dark."

[martinmichalek]

I can only pray that this new decade ushers in fantastic music...because rock really IS dead. I wish I could help bring it back.

[johncraig1379]

the HELL you say! Rock ain't dead! You won't find it in Smashing Pumpkins or much of Metallica's new shit...I'll give you that. You just ain't lookin in the right places.

[ostin13]

Rock is coming back with new bands of the new decade

[safetosaydontquoteme]

rock is done... there's two types now, overprocessed post-grunge, and metallica wannabes...

[ostin13]

Yes i think 90s rock is the best i mean The industrial Uprising and The Arternative scen was made stronger afther Rem in the 80s....so yeah not the Typycal Paramore witch sucks! The only band i really respect from the 2000 is A perfect circle No more!....

[safetosaydontquoteme]

i was going to say, tool is probably the only band that's still going... 90's are my favourite, grunge, death metal, alternative rock... all of it is good.

[johncraig1379]

90's? Are you mental? It all started with 70's rock! Most bands of the 90s WOULD NOT EXIST if it weren't for bands like Led Zep, The Who, Boston, Black Sabbath....shall I go on?

[SOADownsnubs]

haha ok i agree those bands are sweet but what the fuck it's not like music would have just stopped being if those bands weren't popular.

it would just be different,could be better or worse. we can't just know that.

the pumpkins are up there with any of those bands in my opinion and i grew up on those legends. but they did their own thing and they kickass.

[tiddlywinks98712]

rock music is dead...theres pop music like fallout boy that gets called rock, and there all that emo shit screamo bollocks...rock is dead...

btw, what sort of music/bands wud u call 'post grunge'? we probs dont get much of it over here in UK...im assuming shit like Creed??

[safetosaydontquoteme]

well like stone temple pilots and bush are the original post-grunge bands, but the new stuff like nickelback, creed, theory of a deadman, seether.... those bands.

[tiddlywinks98712]

ahh shit yea, they suck balls...theory of a deadman made me laugh so hard when i saw one of their crappy videos on TV..just an angry nickelback...and nickelback suck...as for seether and creed, i pretend they dont exist

[Gamagachee]

It's 2010 so the best album of this decade is definitley Contra by Vampire Weekend so far and I suggest you check it out. But great bands from last period are The Walkmen, Opeth and Porcupine Tree for example.

[grambo22]

@Gamagachee WTF? Best album of this decade? I've seen Vampire Weekend live and listened to the album, it's interesting I guess if you like their sound, but there is absolutely no way it is groundbreaking or even close to records of the decade, let alone year, in rock.

[TheIncredibleBAGMAN]

@Gamagachee Vampire Weekend? They're not that good. You on crack or something?

[LetsGetHighOnMorris]

@TheIncredibleBAGMAN He did say by far though ... That album came out like 2 or 3 weeks after the year started anyway.

[neilpeartrocks2112]

@Gamagachee fucking no way... the best album of this past decade is DEFINATLY either 10,000 Days by Tool or Kezia by Protest The Hero

[bt2tags]

Knowing Billy, he probably meant rock is 'dead'

[TheL000p]

BILLY CORGAN IS MY HERO, HE IS WHY I STARTED PLAYING GUITAR AND COMPOSING AND IS A PART OF WHO I AM TODAY. THis guy is a genius and the fact that he shows it thru music is even more appealing it warms my heart to no there are true good people out there who know wat real music...

[joeysixtysix]

Rock will come back. Like a virus, its out there lurking someplace waiting to return.

[ivan1111111111111]

im bringing it back

[Gamagachee]

yes me too. we'll make a fan club, LOL

[DimebagsLeftToe]

nah, most bands just dont know how to rock and take the easy way out, which is go alternative (poppy alternative not nirvana alternative) and get famous. noone has a good music mentality anymore

[camuialexa]

There are some really good bands out there.

Bad thing is, there is not a lot of people who appreciates good rock any more, so they don't sell big and they don't get atention from the media...

[DimebagsLeftToe]

i see.. so i just have to search harder i guess. got any suggestions?

[xXxRav3rRawrBabyxXx]

Yep rock's dead, or dying. I miss the fucking 90's. =[

[bsdaemon666]

Agreed!

[willieramsey21]

same here

[VerucaSalt79]

I love Nina! :D

[cheromask]

Ninaaaaaaaaaa! daaamn those where the days... F! today's rock BTW

[123456789diez]

Billy Corgan is GOD

and I love Nina!

[pooner01utube]

billy corgan is so right. i miss rock. good old, no bullshit rock... died in the late 90's, oh how i miss it.

[corybungo]

I love you Nina...

[johnslut]

sexy woman right there. she is just great.

[buddybopper]

Rock is not dead!

[joe11121]

nina's a cool chick. sp rocks! i don'tthink rock is dead. its slowly moving, it'll pick up one day though.

[suckas345]

SP 4 LIFE

[stoolet]

Billy Corgan Rules!

[beselbic]

Cool story.

[hummarstra]

Is there another woman in rock more beautiful than Gordon? I don't think so.

[TheImplodingVoice61]

Me neither. <3 Nina.

[PALEGRE3N]

How about Post?

[jerseykid211]

Well Darcy Wretzky of SP was hot but not anymore...

[hectorosbert]

true that. dumb crackho.

[Gamagachee]

Belinda Butcher is a hot guitarist from MBV :)

[lostandwounded]

dark...darker...corgan lol

[UbiquitousGeek]

rofl

[swiv2d]

True it's dead but so are Pumpkins but atleast the attitude and humour of it is still alive with James' reaction at the end.

[deadpeoplesmile]

billy is truly dark lol

[quinsland88]

long live the SMASHING PUMPKINS!!!

[melloncollie33]

thats funny, walks up to him and says, rock is dead, haha, i would have laughed, and agreed

[Floskeknosk]

Why must a person have "the guts" to say to Hetfield that rock is dead? The truth is ALWAYS the worst, isn't it? But he has to hear it. Cred for Corgan. Metallica is dead for sure. Pumpkins 2007, too. But still Pumpkins was the worlds greatest band in circa 1988-1994. That's for sure. Nina Gordon still kicks ass!!

[joe5700]

1988? Please tell me what song the Pumpkins were rocking then????

[Floskeknosk]

Oooh please. My Eternity, Under Your Spell, Nothing And Everything, There She Goes, Snap for instance.

[vickyspit]

GISH rules.

[thenextfrusciante]

Hell yes it does.

[FruscianteLennon311]

Billy Corgan is fucking great.

[silverchairrulz]

Rock may be dead, but the Smashing Pumpkins are helping to ressurrect it.

[drjonzo]

billy corgan is god

[datguy83]

Billy Corgan is just butt hurt cause his rock band can't kick the habit.

[todd131981]

Rock is Dead and Smashing Pumpkins helped kill it.

[SPFISSION]

Rock IS Dead.

[cloudy7]

Music is dead, nothing but emos, and pop shit everywhere. Where did songwriting go...?

[jewman138]

you are an idiot.

[bobdada]

That would be a James Hetfield story.

[trooper8]

Cool! Thanks for posting.

[wpc33]

Late 2000. It's a part of the Chicago TV special "The Smashing Pumpkins: Full Circle"

[mahalolovesyou]

[themanstephen]
