Silversun Pickups "Well Thought Out Twinkles" - 10/8/06

[prsshred39]

swoon disappointed me =/

[thesoundofdistortion]

I think Carnavas was way better but I still like some songs in swoon

[dashopolus]

wtf? swoon is a masterpiece!!

[prsshred39]

@dashopolus

come back after listening to all of pikul and carnavas. i'm not being nasty i just think you're wrong

[SnareSmasher]

@prsshred39 I think each album is great in its own way, I get a different vibe going through each one of em.

[kdogg53075]

I think overall Silversun has better songs than the pumpkins first 2 albums. Pikul and Carnavas a real strong albums. Yes I do know that Pikul is an Ep, but I still think they are stronger. I just hope Silversun can stay as popular as the Pumpkins as long as them.

[JohnRock220]

They've confessed they're an Indie band, if you haven't noticed yet, Indie Rockers don't give a shit about ebing popular or being "the biggest thing".

[kdogg53075]

Yeah I know that. I am not trying to fight with u. But I think u might have misunderstood what I was trying to say. What I mean is that I hope they stay as popular as they are now or maybe a more as long as the Pumpkins have been out there. So that they continue to keep writing great music. Cause as much as they don't want to be popular, they still need a decent fan base to continue making albums that we can purchase or go to concerts all over the country. Like here is Wisconsin.

[JohnRock220]

My apologies, I didn't mean to come off as an asshole. However, I did hear some new that might make you happy., Their new album "Swoon" is supposed to come out later this year.

[kdogg53075]

Yeah I have them on myspace and I am really excited. I am a huge fan or what I consider to be a huge fan. lol. Like yeah I heard Lazy Eye on the radio, but it did get me to listen to their other stuff and I love it. I saw them about 2 summers ago and it was probably my favorite concert cause I love all of there stuff, plus I was super close to the stage.

[bleach6bleach]

dont compare carnavavs and pikul to gish and siamese dreams thats just not right

[cornnutz08]

Pikul is stronger then lull, carnavas is on the same level as gish... and I love Swoon, possibly my second favorite album of all time, but I can't compare it to Siamese Dream.... That album is almsot flawless in my eyes.

[steve169j]

Yea, live with it 'pumpkin' fan's... I don't think the 'picups' sound like 'pumpkins'. The 'Silver Sun Pickups' have a different sound that is better... sj

[composera]

Best mainstream band in North America right now, hands down.

[deftones123420]

fuckin drummer is GGG-reat!!! cant see em in this video :(

[itsRman]

LoL 1:03 HurrAAh!

[whisperingvenus]

shut your trap with those comparisons .. music is music .. just enjoy them!

[piratewannabe2]

yeah, who cares who sounds like who?

[HenryOrange]

So right! What do you gain from comparin these guys with the Pumpkins

[elliebearz]

uggghhh hear we go again with comparing bands... fucks sake who ever brought up the pumpkins give it a rest, theyr both good bands neither deserve to be slagged of, you try n do better.

[lemoneyed]

when i told my friend who is a long time fan of the smashing pumpkins that some said SSPU copies from them, he said incredulously "Whuut..??" haha. oh well, music is subjective i guess.

[Jof1987]

i love this band

just bought me carnavas

i like the way of guitarplaying, his voice

the crazy effects

and the mysterious key player

[mknudy]

yeah it sounds like the pumpkins if they decided to play all pop songs and the drums sounded the same every song.

[FluffyPorcupines]

I know right? I saw SSPU live, and they were so amazing! This video is crummy obviously, not them. I honestly don't know why they're compared to the smashing pumpkins, they have their own style

[brandnew1331]

whoever said sspu's sound crappy live, my dear god you couldnt be anymore wrong

[ExplicitBrain]

Man, this is so much better than the Pumpkins. I heard of them on Loveline, and they kick so much ass. Just got the CD two days ago.

[JohnBong99999]

Its weird to think, that if the guy loves the pumpkins so much he'd name his band so they'd have the same initials as the smashing pumpkins, either way these guys (and girl) fuckin kick ass, just started listen last week, fn a cotton fn aaaa.....

[boardin11]

amen to the pumpkins thing

[SurfaceToday]

sounds like the pumpkins

[punkpasta123]

lol they do

[Llan2193]

It sounds like what the Pumpkins could have been if they kept making albums like siamese dream.

[xxDENiALxx]

true that, Mellon Collie was good too

[FoolyCoolyOo]

never listened to much pumpkins, but from what I've heard they might have a similar feel, but i think these guys are way better IMO

[SurfaceToday]

well... pumpkins were the original, and these guys pretty much lifted their sound, so I'd probably listen to some early pumpkins, if I was you, before you start making judgements. Try siamese dream or mellon collie and the infinite sadness.

[stephlizhym19]

It sounds just like the album version what are you on pcp?

[sheets900]

i love em but they sound like crap live

[SpartanHawk]

There pretty good, but theyre not great

[MCRDRUMSTIX7]

that is one HOT Bassist

[jensbjoern]

she is mine... grrr..

[MCRDRUMSTIX7]

No SHE IS MINE!!!

[3ion1cs]

I believe it's an Epiphone Sheraton II.

[coolperson32323]

he should scream more

[straytbusta]

dude stop screaming...............seriou­sly

[Ibnezbassist182]

Where is everyone? I would be standing closer than that. And they are playing again @ Southgate in 4 days! :)

[speakerspushtheair]

does anybody know is shes playing an epiphone thunderbird??

[Umbras363]

It's a gibson. I don't think epiphone makes thunderbird.

[mobrayo]

ya there is a epi thunderbird. I almost bought one, it was matte black and only like $450.00 nice!

[tescoco]

bit of kings of leon, nit of smashing pumpkins. whatever their influences they are uber cool

[datdude1988]

Book them again and try to find a venue for them in South Carolina or in Charlotte.

It shouldn't be too hard.

I love them.

[xBillyTheKidx]

these guys are the saviors of rock&roll in the new millennium.

[stephantual]

Going to see them May 23rd in London. Beyond myself on this one. These guys are what I've been waiting for a long, long time.

[rkpetersen]

Just saw them a few days ago and I can hardly wait to see them again in 6 weeks.

[Alixandrea19]

seeing them in March, beyond excited.

[Onionox]

Same and same!!!

[entheogenic]

aaaaaaaargh such a good performance

[daveyplum]

great

[FreeholdArts]

these guys are awesome

[isitfridayyet]

what a fantastic song...

[rkpetersen]

The whole album's pretty much fantastic.

[rfodder]

Yeah its the best album ive listened to in a while

[mobrayo]

I agree one hundred percent! one of those rare finds these days every song is great!
