  • great song.

  • My favorite Silversun Pickups song right now

  • Dammit I wish I could remember the first time I heard this song! I've had the song embedded in my memory for ages and love it, but I just wish I knew where I discovered it first!

  • this NEEDS more views!!!!!

  • this songs a beast XD

  • @mainelygold Dude all their songs are amazing, stfu and GTFO.

  • Thumbs up if you just want to be on the top comments!!

  • your nickname is well thought out twinkles?

  • this is the vid that got me my nickname

  • like this band

    

  • My second favourite SSPU song ... i absolutely love the music and the voices just pure bliss... keep going guys love you xx

  • This song reminds me of a better time during halloween years ago. We went to the Silversun liquor store in Cali and ended up getting drunk and smashing pumpkins out onto the highway from our old beat up pick-up truck

  • shitty song i hate it.......... is wat someone with shitty taste in music would say.. thumbs up on silversun pickups

  • @hellogoodbye2010able

    That was so unfunny I didn't even attempt to post "lol".

  • My favorite thing about this song is that the title doesn't match the sound at all. If all I knew was the name of the song theres no way i would have listened to it.

  • I first listened to this song when i was 13 years old im 19 now and i still love it!!

    Thumbs up if your watching in 2011 :D

  • @OMFGSayThisNameIs But it was released in 2007 I think... it's only been 4 years. How did you get from 13 to 19?

  • @phreakyeggz well first off the vid itself was loaded in 06...sooo...?

  • @OMFGSayThisNameIs While I do like this song, your comment basically doesn't say anything in its favor. Most people cling to the music of their adolescence and remember it as their favorite. Why do you think all adults think music today sucks? It's because after their teens, their hearts hardened to the world and all its crazy emotions.

    Damn, I tend to ramble...

  • @bbrake Ahh... I'm not saying my preferences haven't changed over time. I still enjoy listening to new artists and great new music. Bands like the Decemberist, Young the Giant, Yellow Ostrich, Noah and the Whale, Kasabian, The Airborne Toxic Event, etc. I tend to stick to certain genres though. I used to listen to allot of metal though now I find it boring. Mostly I stick to alternative, indie and rock.

  • @OMFGSayThisNameIs

    14 u mean, unless u heard demo or live

  • Comment removed

  • I hate it when this song is...over and over and over and over, over and over and over and over, over and over and over and over, over and over and over and over and over and over....

  • What a great jam. Its so fucking good.

  • dont know but the bass player rocks this song! thumps up if u agree!! :3

  • Powerful song, really liked it

  • The best thing about Silversun Pickups...besides everything about them... is that they sound even better live...that is very hard to find in bands nowadays

  • The best thing about Silversun Pickups...besides everything about them... is that they sound even better live...that is very hard to find in bands nowadays

  • @burchcj I agree. Manchester Orchestra sound amazing live

  • silversuns  rock!

  • and it also sounds a little like the song lazy eye

  • This was a good song

  • @Yousuckballs2011 hell yeah. this is already a classic as far as im concerned :)

  • Tony Hawk's Proving Ground

  • Awesome vid...

  • WoW! Hell yeah! Love Silversun Pickups! Listening to a lot of Silversun, Hey You!, The Offspring, My Chemical Romance, No Doubt, and Weezer...

    Hey You! is still pretty new, but they're waaaaaaay dope. Pop/Rock/Punk with a real cool edge. Plus they've got a cute chick singer :-) ...check em out....

    search "hey you band taking over"

  • @versagurlz88 huh?

  • i listened to this song for 4 years and realized its in tony hawks proving ground

  • I have an alarming urge to hug Nikki.

  • I <3 this song!!!! I just dnt get the name of it

  • a must have cd/download in the car (road trips)! They have such a 90's sound which I miss. Love it!!!

  • this song brings back memories..........awesome memories :DDD

  • love how the drummer is just gett'n it, in every video!!!!

  • Its sad how there's not even a million views yet. Look what mainstream music has done to the people. Smh

  • Drums in this band are not the best, but the Bass is sick, that chick gets down on that shit.

  • I had no Idea their bass player was a chick. That's HOT!!

  • Guys, music is music. Wanna know something? People come here to listen to it, so stop bitching about who sounds like what or who's better, and listen to it. Damn.

  • Anybody that says they don't sound anything like Smashing Pumpkins is kidding themselves. And anybody that says they sound just like Smashing Pumpkins doesn't know what they're talking about.

  • i hate to play comparisons here, but i'm pretty sick of the kind of personality that the smashing pumpkins give off in their sound. "rat in a cage' to me has become cliche. i'm tired of the guy's voice in that band

    least this band gives something a little different. and actually, how the SHIT can you say that this band is ripping off SP? i'm sorry i guess i didn't notice the qualities in Smashing Pumpkins that could put them in the SHOEGAZE category. okay maybe 'Today' can a bit, that ONE song

  • smashing pumpkins didnt have nearly as much drums and there riffs didnt dominate the song like in silversun

  • 37 people lack any taste whatsoever

  • I wouldnt get your panties in a bunch, SSPU remind lots of people of the Pumpkins, and as far as Im concerned, that isnt a bad thing. They are swell, but they arent the musicians that Billy Corgan or Jimmy Chamberlain are.

  • thumbs up if tony hawk's proving ground brought u here

  • Thank you god for making me buy tony hawks proving grounds! If it wasn't for that game, i wouldn't listening to this!

  • One of my favorite bands and favorite song...along with Three Seed, of course!

  • Playing this song on rock band is fucking amazing :D.

  • @bfaxasbale don't you mean fucking frustrating. >_>

  • the only thing wrong with this song is that it ends.

  • @bpoliver Come on man... I think I must have heard 1.000.000 songs exactly like this one.

  • Whats the comparison between Silver sun and Smashing Pumpkins? They don't sound alike. This band is good, personally The Smashing Pumpkins are better :P

  • Funny.... I've been a Pumpkins fan since...gods '94? And I never once thought to compare SSPU to them. Eh well, to each their own. Meanwhile... I adore Brian Aubert's voice. So unique and easily recognizable. <3

  • when i first heard of Silversun Pickups, i thought they was boring, but when i heard theyre music, they sounds more than good. theyre great, and theyre one of my favorite bands

  • I really really really Love this band... every time I hear them... RIGHT ON!

  • I love how people tried to dismiss these guys and compare them to the Pumpkins back when they weren't as big, the band just flew over all the haters like it was nothing lol. Great band with original music. Can't wait for the third LP!!!

  • Comment removed

  • love how they shot this video

  • I don't give a damn who they might sound like , I love the sounds i'm hearing ( Hits replay again)

  • I love the Silversun Pickups and honestly thought that the singer was the female. I don't care, their music is amazing.

    And comparisons, no matter to whom they are made, are an evil. The Silversun Pickups stand on their own two feet and I love the Smashing Pumpkins and think they sound completely different. I don't understand where the comparisons are coming from, are you all high? It's apples and oranges, friends. Now sit back and enjoy the Silversun Pickups.

  • I'm not sure why everyone thinks that the comparisions to the Smashing Pumpkins are a bad thing. The Smashing Pumpkins are an excellent band and the fact that SSPU is talented enough to garner comparisions to them is impressive in this day and age where the music industry is strapped of real talent.

  • I love the bassists groove, her playing the bass cranks her hotness up 2 points :)

  • Chris Guanlao is amazing on drums loves him!! <3

  • i can see what plp mean that there is a bit of influence by the pumpkins specially in the drums and when the guitar gets heavier but i don't think that's an insult or a cuss , all music comes from other music

  • Whoever thinks they sound like smashing pumkins is an idiot!!!!!!

  • that dude was killin them drums "respect"

  • where does the name silversun pickups come from?

  • @aecc0357 a liquor store that was near their practice studio.

  • first time i heard this song i was playing Tony Hawk Proving Ground

  • this is my bmx song lol thumbs up if u bmx

  • @1:26 Just smile in a violent sort of way-- very cool

  • at first i thought the word twinkle said twinkie, i was like wtf??

  • I'm sorry for being such a dick to you Joyski :( You don't have to respond, but just know that I'm sorry. :(

  • @Adagio1723 You weren't a dick. You had good reason, so don't say sorry but you should come on Para or Skype :)

  • @Adagio1723 DiD YOU GET YOUR TICKETS!? >.<

  • @JfulJ Best $250 dollars I ever spent. I got four, just in case. 

  • @Adagio1723 Oh good! $250!? That's... a lot. Hahah, well have a wonderful time you ;D

  • @JfulJ I know!

  • LSD Rules

  • definitly not anything like the pumpkins! his voice doesn't change in mid-word like a schitzo freak, and they have more of a grunge sound, rather than pop

  • What the hell is a twinkle?

  • You can definitely hear the Pumpkins in their sound, but there is nothing wrong with inspiration. If thats a band that was part of their growing up, it's going to be heard. There is a good hint at the Siamese Dreams era Pumpkins, but, really, they make awesome music, and that's what matters!

    I love the Pumpkins, and I love Silversun Pickups, they are two separate bands that are amazing!

  • I've been a Sliversun fan for years...and a smashing pumkins fan and they really don't sound that much alike... they have similar sounds but texture and harmonicly they aren't really the same -RED

  • @emerald1113 Yea they're pretty different in my eyes too, but that's because I hate Smashing Pumpkins and love Silversun Pickups...dunno :/

  • This band reminds me of Scott Pilgrim.

  • Ok, it's offical that in just about every song he sounds like a woman.

  • @iliqqfemalez its called good vocals, he has a normal voice when he just talks

  • Tthey aren't ripping them off? Just cause his singing voice sounds like Billy Corgan doesn't mean anything. That's just how he sounds he can't help it.

  • may I just say...people who rip off other bands usually only can come up with about one cd because of the lacking ability to continue with their own...So screw anyone who thinks so. This band is bad ass

  • i have that guitar its crazy i can get the same exact tone

  • its kinda like smashing pumpkins and the who mixed together. they're awesome, i dont get why these guys aren't bigger

  • Kill the None Believers.

  • well thought out twinkies :P

  • I love 90s alternative and the Silversun Pickups definately are my cup of tea.. and yes they do kinda got a Smashing Pumpkins meets Indie rock sound.. I love it.. If you like these guys check out old Modest Mouse.. Anything pre Good News For People Who Love Bad News..

  • Oh wow, i havent heard this song in such a long time!

  • I can't stop listening to this. Sure, they sound like Smashing Pumpkins but I see them as modern music; sort of a mixture of Sonic Youth (sorry if anyone is offended) and Smashing Pumpkins, clash to make this crazy sound.

  • I think everyone agrees that Chris Guanlao is a bit too amazing for this band.

  • that girl bassist is my favorite

  • SSP makes me happy because I never thought I'd see anyone pickup where Billy and the Pumpkins left off.

  • this song rocks and so does the video

  • im am a quifer!!..... let that be know!

  • 35 people don't think out their twinkles very well.

  • @Samus5164 ha..

  • My Favorite song by these guys.

  • You really can't deny there's a similarity in sound with a few songs between the pumpkins and sspu, but I think sspu has a lot more to them. As much as I loved smashing pumpkins, I think sspu really blows them out of the water

  • lol whats with the mormon commercials?

  • @thechangingcolors Seriously, fuck those cultmembers. Religion sucks.

  • everytime I hear this song, I smile.

  • why do people keep saying theyre ripping off smashing pumpkins.. they are not the smashing pumpkins, they actually have a unique sound. This is Silversun Pickups, if youre looking for Smashing Pumpkins, you shouldve typed that in the search bar. now stfu

  • @trexx1930 no one is saying they are ripping them off. they just say they sound a little like smashing pumpkins which isnt a bad band. you can be original while sounding a little like other bands. musics been doing that for decades

  • @systemofachemicalnir yes but around the time i was commenting people were showing anger on how they "stole" the smashing pumpkins sound. in my opinion they did nothing like that. they are a modern unique sounding band, that has a special quality that i dont think any other band around their genre possesses

  • @trexx1930 I think it's because they look exactly like them, "Gish" and "Siamese Dream" era Pumpkins. You got the lead singer with the Billy Corgan bangs, and you can't overlook the overly glammed bassist, ala D'arcy. Jimmy Chamberlain type enthusiasm with the drummer, and you got the Pumpkins. It's really where the similarities end.

    You're absolutely right. They sound NOTHING like them. I'd liken their sound more to Queens of the Stone Age, but they really do have a very unique style.

  • @trexx1930 im not even a smashing pumpkins fan. but i love the silversun pickups. i think they are much better.

  • @trexx1930 because they do. If the pumpkins continued with the stuff like on Siamese Dream, they'd sound like pickups do. They even admited to this themselfs.

  • @tempusfugitangel yes sounding like is different than ripping off, im just saying smashing pumpkins are smashing pumpkins, silversun pickups are silversun pickups

  • @trexx1930

    Its similar but not the same. Billy Corgan is too vital to what the Pumpkins are to be copied. I hear similar sound, but if i were to play a pumpkins song and a SSPU song it'd be as different as day and night.

  • @trexx1930 preach

  • @trexx1930 what do you mean they actually have a unique sound, if anyone has a unique sound its the smashing pumpkins, this band is awesome and so are the pumpkins.

  • @jimencam they actually have a unique sound as in they have a distinct sound that is recognizable.

  • I just love the drummer, he's so crazy!

  • @gsforlife hes so AWSOME to

  • this was their first song i heard... and i thought they were high. i still like them though

  • its basically the same group dynamics as smashing pumpkins and the name as well SP AND  SP

  • @bonecrusher1469 it is sspu thanks,

  • Oh sweet :D im about to watch this awesome video- crap. its fucking larry the cable guy.

  • They remind me so much of Smashing Pumpkins !!! :)

  • wewwwww!

  • I think I'll do a cover of this song. One of their best.

  • LOVE THE WAY THE DRUMMER IS POSSEST!

  • @aaron28532 Way to jump on the bandwagon without knowing what the fuck you're talking about.

  • The drumming is the best part of this song.

  • sounds good...

  • well thought out twinkies

  • Best use of a fuzz pedal I've heard...

  • Holy shit, i just noticed it said "twinkles" and not twinkies.....XD

  • Thank you sspu...this is real music...the world needs more of it

  • found this on soundstage!

  • a thought the song was called well thought out twinkys <- i love dem lol : D

  • great band. kind of remind me a bit of Smashing Pumpkins.
