SMASHING PUMPKINS INDUCTED INTO HOLLYWOOD ROCKWALK

[dalecampbl6]

his songs are great...his voice on the other hand...is TERRIBLE live

[extremeX18]

arguably the best? more like 100% most definitely the best. <3

[MIvarsson99]

I love how he calls the award ceremony lame immediately after they honor him.

Way to go Billy. Never let go of that iron-grip grudge.....lmao....NEVER

[walterp341]

they were one of the BIGGEST bands of the 90s, and i know i will be flamed for saying this, but Nirvana was the BIGGEST band of the 90s, and in my opinion, the best, but the Pumpkins are up there and i really enjoy them

[MIvarsson99]

@walterp341 Hey, the Smashing Pumpkins are my all time favorite band but I have to agree that Nirvana was the biggest band of the era. I have no idea where MTV is coming from calling the pumpkins "arguably the biggest."

I love Billy and Co. but they weren't even as big as Pearl Jam most likely.

[davedorger]

@MIvarsson99 Actually I think Nirvana and soundgarden were the most influential bands of that era but Alice in Chains was the biggest commercial success with PJ right up there but 3 consecutive albums debuting at no 1?? kind of hard to top and aic is the only band to ever do it once let alone 3 consec. Pumkins were my least favorite then but as time goes by I like em more. Anyway who gives a fuck who sold more there were many great bands then. Not anymore they all suck now.

[MIvarsson99]

@davedorger I hate to burst your bubble but what a record debuts at means absolutely nothing. Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Green Day, Marilyn Manson, and Oasis all had records to go platinum TEN TIMES. Alice in Chains were unknowns and paupers by comparison. Dirt, their biggest selling disc, only sold slightly less units than Siamese Dream.

[davedorger]

@MIvarsson99 oh well, what the fuck do I know.

[ProbableFiction]

@davedorger The Pumpkins were from a different than the other bands you mentioned. The only real thing SP has in common musically with the others is they were contemporaries.

[davedorger]

@ProbableFiction Whatever. Im too stoned right now to care. I just played Siamese Dream backwards and it told me to carve a pumpkin in the image of George Bush and then to smash it.

[ProbableFiction]

@davedorger Cool. Have fun.

[angelizer999]

they are so famous as underesimated

[AlienMomProductions]

Billy Corgan is just AMAZING

[QOTSAPT]

they should be the rock wall as the girl from artisan news said arguably the best band from the 90s

[BillyGarland]

The Hollywood RockWalk is the Best !

. Hank Garland was inducted in 1996. It was great fun and he certainly deserved it.

We are very happy for you ! and it is a great place to have your hands dispalyed for your millions of fans. IT will be there forever ! Love it ! ;)

The Hank Garland Family

[Muse4life05]

SP are a great band of the '90s. I think Alice in Chains was the most underrated and SP is the second most important band of the '90s. Pearl Jam is probably the first.

[soaringquail2]

I love SP but I wouldn't say they were the biggest band of the 90s.

[DX4LIFFE]

Muzzle one of the greatest songs EVER!

[angelizer999]

@DX4LIFFE to lie here and die among the sorrow...

[DX4LIFFE]

@angelizer999 Man, I think Corgan was at his best lyrically wise during MCIS every song is so creative and unique.

[stardark99]

somehow i think he's depressed........ :(

[shiro182]

@stardark99 He had a breakdown before. I feel so sorry for him. He never seems happy. He works so hard and is so critical of himself and often talks of his feelings of depression over the 20 yrs since the band formed. I hope he can one day be happy.

[kristopher081]

He is. Has always been.

[reverend07]

deserving band... SMASHING ROCKS

[okapi81]

my favorite songs - speed kills, cash car star,in my body,white spider (all machina II)

[mascotsandmugs]

led zeppelin and black sabbath!!!

[ssrrapper]

JoeAuriun is right. They only had about 1 or 2 hits...

Bullet With Butterfly Wings, Cherub Rock, Tarantula, Perfect, Zero, 1979, Tonight Tonight, Thirty-Three, Today, Rocket, The Everlasting Gaze, & Disarm.

That's 1 or 2, right?

Actually the only artists that I can think of that had more radio singles released are Metallica & Michael Jackson.

[MetroidFan621]

.....Ava Adore, Siva, Rhinoceros, The Everlasting Gaze, Doomsday Clock....

[schism206]

Don't worry, he has WASP videos in his favorites so I wouldn't be too offended.

[JoeAuriun]

they arent even that good .. they only had about 1 or 2 hits, Zero and 1979. And Zero fucking sucked.

[clabonkid]

i'd recommend you Youtube their back catolougue. If rock is your thing, look up "United States", "Tarantula", but especially their old stuff including "Geek U.S.A", "Thru the eyes of Ruby" and "Cherub Rock." DO IT!

[yankeesarethebest224]

geek usa is amazing!

[clabonkid]

yes it is! that whole album is my favourite album of all time, siamese dream.

[girlydress]

i wanna know the name of the music he is singing at the end of the video, if anyone knows...

[Wildo3000]

tarantula from the zeitgeist album

[ADMTAVA]

is jimmy leaving the band?

[64mes]

Jimmy already left the band back in march.

[unholypally]

yea whatever happened to Darcy and Iha? and they more than deserve this lol :)

[potatogod5]

what yr is this? gotta be recent right?

[jetsonic69]

Too bad Darcy and James Iha werent inducted into the Hollywood rockwalk of fame....guess Billy didnt think they deserve it as much as he and Jimmy did :) oh well

[katnes8]

Billy is smashing pumpkins...smashing pumpkins is Billy Corgan.

very well deserve!!!!!!!!!

[bofo85]

totally deserve it! this band rocks. is it me, or does Jimmy kinda look like Clive Owen??

[pmaestro]

haha billy's appreciated the honour only because of who else it had been given to. the end of the clip is totally him acknowledging that it's cool to finally be endorsed as a popculture genius.

[wileydave999]

James iha n D'arcy fucking suck billy did all the guitar and bass recording taught it to them. james iha quit because Billy didnt want his songs on the album becuase they suck n his monitone voice. well at least they tried but look in the album pages of every cd they are rarely mentioned for the making of a track

unless its take me down or a horrible song all BILLY n JIMMY

[joao1988pedro]

slash? wtf

[Rahtings67]

Jimmy's looking well...

[wowweetoki]

This lady talking pisses me off.

[bronyraur3]

totally fucked up they didn't include James Iha and D'Arcy since they were with the band during the time SP wrote about all of their hits.

[reallyocean]

Yeah, James and D'Arcy deserved it as much as Jimmy and Billy.

[fleurdupommier]

They TOTALLY deserve this honor. They are far too underestimated.

[GuitarCenterRockWalk]

Humble person, not a fake.

[howellerx]

Haha jimmy looks like he really doesn't want to be there :) 1:53 'yeah, fantastic' haha

[sexydanny21awesome]

hey Smashing Pumpkins fans Billy Corgan just said on you tube that has new live dvd coming out soon nov of 2008 and in 2009 he has another album coming out thats sweetist thing I ever heard

[sabrapoo]

smashing pumpkins... one of the few things mtv got right

[sexydanny21awesome]

Smashing Pumpkins will always be awesome and still are awesome Billy Corgan ROCKS

[sexydanny21awesome]

Smashing Pumpkins Rule and Still Billy Corgan rocks

[stripes676]

about god damn time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BADDADDIO]

indeed!

[frenchythefry69]

and by the way, I love Nirvana, but I don't know that many people understand how big they were in the 90's. Most that make the "biggest band" comments and weren't even alive. Nirvana was huge, but Pearl Jam sold twice as many records, and was by far the biggest band of the 90's. I was there. The pumpkins, in my humble opinion, were and still are the better band.

[frenchythefry69]

I was trying to make a point. I love the pumpkins and respect, but would never put jack johnson on the same stage with them. it was a joke, i was making fun of the judas priest comment. hell.

[Sabotage106]

because nirvarna were succesful the pumpkins got more intrest ? ... how they are totally different .. i was big nirvarna fan got into pumpkins thru people who hated nirvarna

[sexydanny21awesome]

Smashing Pumpkins kick ass they own Billy Corgan rocks and still rocks

[daniel1929]

the pumpkins have now come full circle! the best 4 eva!!!

[leamiscool]

Pumpkins kick ass. No point in even comparing them with jack johnson.

[andyoujustdontgetit]

"the biggest band of the 90s" i have to say the pumkpkins are really great band but nirvana was the biggest band of the 90s

[Wii4me]

Actually The Smashing Pumpkins lasted through ALL of the 90's, Nirvana only lasted about until 1994.

[andyoujustdontgetit]

true but i meant nirvana is the band that were the most important to the 90s and because they came so succesfull, the pumpkins got more interest by ppl

[frenchythefry69]

i'd have to say, you're a fucking idiot. if courtney had shot billy( instead of Kurt) in the face after melon collie, we would call the pumpkins the best band of the 90's.

[Georgie17xx]

yay! Totally deserved it! And seriously..without knowing anything about Billy,not even knowing who he is....would you belive that he is 41 years old!? he looks way younger

[kate101091]

I know! He looks so young!

Smashing Pumpkins rock!

[inthearmsofsleep]

IT'S ABOUT TIME.

[sexydanny21awesome]

Jack Johnson did music for curious george are you insane Billy Corgan music is way beter then his

[sexydanny21awesome]

Smashing Pumpkins rule Billy and Jimmy kick ass this was deserved way back now finally they get respected keep makeing more music Billy Corgan you rule

[tikime3]

a love you Billi and your Band - and ALL WORLD LOVE'S SO MUCH, SO MUCH, SO MUCH... you are the best and the rest too! I LOVE YOU!!! :-)

[Wii4me]

if you are going to compare rock bands of about the same genius i guess we could compare the health benefits of apples to oranges.(though i never saw what others saw in judas priest)

[VikingBloodedCelt]

Judas Priest is better than the pumpkins

[ricecakeman925]

Judas Priest is a different genre, lawl

[frenchythefry69]

Jack Johnson is so much better than the pumpkins... ass.

[balancebalance]

LOL jACK Johnson

[rzuo]

Jack Johnson is different genre with the pumpkins...L.O.L

[Sindasha]

I love the Smashing Pumpkins and have loved them for over ten years. The music is amazing and I will always be a fan!

[crisgatica]

y cuando vienen a chile?

[gauchosonico82]

yo los vi en chile y en argentina en 1998, fuiste?

[prelude3point0]

Pumpkins well deserved that

\m/

um, for those who say 1 hit wonder...???..Yer all Rock-Uneducated! If you dont like them Fair enough But dont label them 1 hit whatever ...you'll just come across as a dumbfuck who doesnt know his/her rock history or you're just a kid & therefore forgiven ...you have alot of music ed. to catch up on.

just look at the pumpkins record sales compared to other "rock,Alt,Grunge" artists esp during the 90's..

[pacoworld]

The smashing rules!!!!

[BlueLightning536]

If u think they are a one hit wonder u dont no much like. I agree that they should have been inducted when james and darcy were still in it.

[pavelgm]

calling smashing pumpkins a one hit wonder is like calling nirvana a one hit wonder... some people (kenfucious) are just plain stupid.

[EclecticStranger]

I hate this..

I love the pumpkins but god damn, this came about 10 years to late. This shrine is lacking D'arcy and James' prints.

Only being recognized after a comeback is hell.

They ruled all of the 90's and 2000/1.. yet only now are they recognized as they're deserved..

And as for kenfuscious... You're a dickhead. The pumpkins were releasin hits all through the 90's, they've probably been around longer than you've been alive..fuckin emo child.

[rzuo]

It's too bad James and Darcy will never come back, they don't want to take part in the new SP even though billy wants them to reunite again

Billy dislike the Zwan members coz they don't have loyalty within the members(everyone only think about themselves), he says that James & Darcy are good people but misguided

[Spiralminds]

They just deserved.

Pumpkins LOVE.

[kenfuscious]

This is ridiculous. Crappy one hit wonder band who was only popular during a very  very short period of time. I would rather see the Plasmatics beind inducted .

[sammyarnold]

One hit wonder!?!?! eat a dick pal

[kenfuscious]

I'm straight but would rather eat dick than listen to this crap for five minutes.

[DavidLion1510]

you're a loser...and you're gay, we all know it.

[sammyarnold]

and yet you still watched this video! - which means you must eat piles upon piles of dicks!

[germanroses333]

Nobody forces you to listen to this great band. Go rot yourself somewhere else.

[cakeypunkrock]

like seriously why would you bother looking them up if you hate them so much ........... Smashing Pumpkins rock !!!!

[frkuency]

i agreed with you man...totally...they were overblown for like 13 years and now this?? give me a break...but i have to ask.. which "hit" do you "wonder" got them their place in the walk??

[Joes3ff]

good times

[zeppaman]

agreed

[Kimoram]

Great talent. Snotty attitude though. =/

[n00bm3ist3r]

KICK ASS!!!
