  • This isn't Smashing Pumpkins. It's Billy Corgan realizing that without that name he can't sell music. Case in point, Zwan. That band had the same amount of SP members as this does...that said the song isn't his best, but not the worst i've heard..

  • I like this song! Its funny.

  • this is shit. toda jalada

  • so sick!!!!!

  • lawl at people still bitching about new SP. fuck off lol.. this song kicks soooooooo much ass.

  • I love Smashing Pumpkins and this song, and I have nothing but high respect for Corgan, but it seems like he has fallen from melodic songs to heavy distortion and hollow lyrics. That being said, Teargarden is coming along nicely, what with the psychedelic elements.

  • 1:38 D'Arcy?

    haha

  • This song is pretty cool, but I fucking want James, D'arcy and Jimmy back! :(

  • @briands1993 this song did have jimmy in it and darcy is best to never come back cause shes a fucking wreck, shes still not even out of prison yet

  • @briands1993 yeahh we want Jimmy back!!!

  • the bass in this song is so insane !

  • Cybergoth club????

  • This is the Exact same riff as Skid Row song "Piece of Me"

  • they have mad music but shit lyrics and vocals

  • embarrassing destruction of a great mcis demo. i'll attest the reason most of sp2's music sucks is because billy sings in this ahem, 'very passionate' voice. he makes johnny cash look like chris cornell.

  • you know..this song is kinda, depressing but with a nice "up beat". I mean, when he says hes so alone...can it be because his original band members aren't there with him anymore and now hes a bit more depressed? i dont know...but its a very good song overall

  • Look at 1:13

    It warms my heart to see that there's finally a Jazzmaster in The Pumpkins : D

  • This is a good Smashing Pumpkins song

  • I like the new Pumpkins.. not as good as the old stuff, but I love anyway! So, hate on 'em haters.. cuz that's what you do best.

  • nice flash of anti-zero at the end :D

  • why doesnt billy play any songs from the american gothic ep now?

  • HOLY FUCK

    PLEASE TELL ME THE PUMPKINS ARE BACK

    PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE

  • @TheSpiritOfJazz2 they've been back since 2007? where have you been dude?

  • I like the new smashing pumpkins. Hey assholes, write a better song.

  • this video can't be that hi-fi!!!

  • Why are people talking bad about the new Smashing Pumpkins? In a world filled with Rap, Hip-Hop, and Pop we should be sporting the new Smashing Pumpkins, and not crying because it's not Gish, or Siamese Dreams

  • You can't possibly believe that the same brain who wrote the classic pumpkins songs has all of a sudden surrendered to some outside opinion of what or how to create. Dude's still ahead of his time, and ahead of the game, and the lyrics are simple but who know's what it should be interpreted as. I'm grateful to be alive the same time such an iconic genius is.

  • I like billy cause he grows as a artist you can tell this kinda seems like a song that was writen during zitgist, but now he has moved on from that fase and evolved even further no hes not going to go and make Mellon collie again or gish or any album he is making his new stuff and what he feels is right and i respect that and i for one actualy like his new tearguarden stuff i think its a great project hes doing. i dont like people who say its not SP but real fans know Its them just different

  • I really dig Pink haired girls ... Man she is AMAZING.

  • @Gamagachee The amazing, talented, and beautiful Linda Straw Berry.

  • the bunny=acid trip.

  • "come on come on come on can you feel it?" What happened to to billy... It's not bad but it's just ordinary. The song is great at 2"20. I don't think billy is getting less talented, I think he have weird taste since the reformation of the pumpkins. I hope he will be more alternative rock and less pop rock hard whatever this is

  • Fucking awesome.

  • i like the bass line... and i think the song is ok... right in the middle between acceptable and shit.... also the guitar riff remembers me of muse a little... but overall is really shitty... compared to their older stuff....

  • @IamTheScorchedEarth Classic line "...right in the middle between acceptable and shit....." LMFAO and true, but still better than Jonas Brothers and most of the shit on the radio these days.

  • i definitely thing this is just the right mix of the heavy Zeitgeist-era stuff, atmospheric Mellon Collie, and raw power of Machina. If Zeitgeist was more like this, I think it would have done A LOT better. honestly, Zeitgeist was shit. The only good songs were Doomsday Clock, Starz, Tarantula, and That's the Way. Their newer stuff (Teargarden) is excellent , though. i like the return to their older stuff, but still sounding fresh and new.

  • @the7insurrectionist United States and 7 shades.

  • Video's alright. Terrible song. Just like all of the new tunes.

  • i just don't like this..

    I don't think they will ever get any better then Siamese Dream and Zeitgeist

  • están acabados.....

    

  • Sounds like Pastichio Medley with own lyrics, great! :D

  • i found tada

  • They do have a different sound than the old Smashing Pumpkins. Billy doesn't have that grungy, distorted angst sound he had before. I think the problem is that many of us fans of the old SP thought that the new SP would jump right back where they left off, but that's really a leap to imagine after all these years, they'd still be the same. It's still good in its own right, but it isn't the SP we all grew up with.

  • loot at 3:22

  • don't see anyhting

  • This is a good Smashing Pumpkins song. It's just as seething with angst and energy as Zero. Quit hating.

  • yeah i like this song

  • @thebluesbaby yeah baby i love this song.i listen to it over and over. All there albums are different anyway so whats everyone on about i dont get it? it rocks.

  • Billy Corgan is trying so hard to ruin his legacy. Think about it. This is the best song so far of the new stuff.

    But still , we keep the faith Billy , someday you'll be back and we'll be there. Even if this means listening to songs like this. Come on. You can do better than that.

  • well that bass line is drugged.

  • this song should have been plyed more on the radio! i like it.

  • what a bass line

  • Awesome! cant wait 2 hear teargarden!

  • "come on come on come on can you feel it?" feel what? the pumpkins got huge off college rock. is that what this is supposed to be? cause this was a pretty pale imitation of the siamese dream era

  • omg is that audrey kitching!?

  • alright, someone admit it right now! who j**ked off to 1:13 xD maybe I did, but I know someone else did too =p lol

  • Song's okay...the chorus is GREAT and the bassline is cool but The rest is soooo '90's throwback. Vary AIC. Not in a good way, in a dated, stale nostalgia way. But it's not bad. Just not as promising as Tarantula. I'm starting to think this band is never going to go in that "exciting new direction" and make a Mellon Collie-level comeback like I thought they would back in '07. ah well.

    And what's Tom Petty doing at 1:43? ; )

  • Thats not Tom Petty, thats The Dude. Hahaha

  • Yeah, he does look like the Dude Lebowski

  • Great song. While the music will probably never be as good as the origional stuff, still good. They're better than most crap you hear today. Billy Corgan is my hero.

  • wow i didnt know corgin was capable of growing facial hair

  • haha you got that right

  • 1:44 The dude abides!

  • The rug really tied the room together.

  • ha,ha,ha.

  • Jesus, what's up with the casting?

  • it's probably all of linda strawberry's friends or something.

    and...

    i don't get this video, it has nothing to do with the song, sorta random even for justin coloma

  • @gyang333 oh god don't mention Strawberry, she thinks shes the spokeswoman for SP the way she barks on the SP MySpace blog like a rabid rottweiler. worst thing ever: Billy allowing her to sing (off-key i might add)vocals on Zwan songs back in '03

  • lol yeah i pretty much hate her

  • @gyang333 is it just me or does that sooo freakin weird at 1:16 seconds! that looks like a GGG flick or something! lol, kind of erotic tho

  • @gyang333 we better be careful, Strawberry's probably trolling this video waiting to attack! she added me to her myspace and i was like "nooo!! leave me alone devil woman!"

  • you fuckin' said it man.

  • audrey kitching (L)

  • someone must have told him ''To be cool these days you gotta say A LOT of come on in your songs''

  • hahah Come On (Lets Go!)

  • love that song

  • @FrxBass

    do you realy belibe B C Is that stupid to say "come on" only to seem a cool person??? don't fuck me, you are the only one here tha's writing something to seem cool.

  • @FrxBass I don't think Billy Corgan's ever concerned himself with being cool.

  • omg TADAHISA YOSHIDA AT :12!

  • pumpkins forever!

    billy is the greatest ever songwriter.

  • i am one of the people who is all for the pumpkins and people who say this isn't pumpkins piss me off but this song could have been a lot better.

    its not very good.

    the video is classic pumpkins though.

  • it's really hard to see but if you pause this vid at the right time at 3:22 you can see Billy wearing a white Zero top!

    now that fucking rocks!

    awsome song, awsome band!

  • Yeah... I've also seen some pics of hims wearing that and the white skirt thing he wears live. Pretty sick.

  • oh yeah,really ;)

  • if this song had harmony at all it would be remind me of alice in chains

  • oh yeah, it is pretty AIC-ish

  • Haha I love the people in rabbit masks playing tennis.

  • this video is weired.

  • yes...it is weird.....but I like weird so this music video is awesome!!!

  • well yah i agree

  • Is it just me or does the video have nothing to do with the song that doesnt looke like a video that sp would produce

    lets face it their new stuff sux

  • What do you mean by "their".

  • i wish i had listened to this song without the video first. dude, chicks in sequin dresses in night clubs? that's not SP style. i dig it though even if the chorus is poppy. it's just so hard to match all the original stuff with its heaping scoops of teenage youth nostalgia on top for me.

  • Yeah I agree, the song is pretty good but what the hell is with the video?

  • J'adore la musique et Audrey kitching et toujours aussi belle ! (l)

    I love this music and Audrey Kitching is beautiful *-*

  • hey is that audry kitching in the vid er am i goin crazy and cin things

  • yuuup, it's herrr

  • i like this song its got a ZERO and BULLETS WITH BUTTERFLY WINGS like feel to it.

  • a good solid song i like it and all this talk about billy using the tsp name so what it was always his to begin with anyways so who cares as long as he keeps popping new n great tracks out like FOL, zietgeist is awesome, gossamer is amazing if all goes wrong is fantastic f all the critics cos they cant even come close.

  • totaly..

  • I can't say I like FOL... But I agree with you aside from that though.

  • Smashing Pumpkins will never be the same without James. As much as SP was Billy there was a certain sound they had durring SD and Melloncollie that has never been matched once they started loosing/gaining members. It also kinda funny that ZWAN had more original SP members in it than Smashing Pumpkins does now.

  • @tracingstarsx i rather liked Adore and Machina I & II, also Judas 0, yes i wish Jimmy was on Adore but as far as Machina goes, they listed D'arcy on bass but idk she was only there during half the sessions, but who cares it's not like she ever did much of anything other than harmonize anyway. i do however think it's not fully SP without Billy & James (with Jimmy but also without but preferably with!)

  • Depuis peu je connais ... très bon!!

  • Bearing in mind the support of the "Performance Rights Act" it is strange that this song should be here to listen to for free on demand.

  • i spy audrey kitching.

  • Good stuff but nothing, no album, from any band, will ever top Mellon Collie.

  • I agree...

  • Yeah Billy you sham, stop using the SP name that ,,, well,, um wait a minute I thought Billy created the Smashing Pumpkins wrote, sang, and played (all band positions minus Drummer during production and recording) and is now, continuing with a new cast. And as for the 90's,, its 2009 mate, Billys not in his twenties anymore,, thus the change in direction. Hey I hear Darcy and Iha are producing slamming tunes these days why not follow them?

  • Iha did some good stuff with A perfect Circle, and btw, D'Arcy and Iha are not dirtying the SP good name with their own projects.

  • Seriously? The bassline here is from the Pistachio Medley, and the overall feel of the song is very Machina to me. So if this song is bad (which I really don't think it is that bad -- not the deepest of their songs, but not bad) you can blame it on the Pistachio Medley, and any residue from the Machina era. Billy obviously has the ability to write good new music, he just needs to censor out the bad like he used to. He said he made more than 40 songs for Siamese Dream, and used less than 15.

  • Machina era was the beginning of the end, but still, Machina was poetic and charming. Now, Billy is getting old, his songwriting is getting weak, his music is getting "pop". Now I don't give a fuck if you like it, just buy it. But SP true fans should stay far from this shit

  • Not every song is a winner. Billy has composed what nears 500 songs throughout his career. Only about 100 were on albums, and only about 200-250 were ever actually released to anyone. Im assuming the other 250 weren't good. I don't think the problem is that he's lost his potential for quality is gone, I just think his quantity has gone down now, so he can't afford to pick and choose. That's my theory at least. Maybe getting back in the studio with the sole purpose of writing good music will help

  • No, actually this is not from Pistachio Medley (at 2:00). Yes, it sounds like it, but it's a different song. That song is called Zoom. Look it up.

  • This is an expansion on Zoom. Zoom lasted 20 seconds. It obviously wasn't a complete song, just an idea, and he came back to that idea.

  • Did you meet him? (Not trying to be defensive, im curious)

  • Billy is a control freak, generally demanding and sarcastic, and awkward, from what I've seen. He's also left-handed, so all that is justified. I win, LOL.

    For real though, he acts extremely right-brained is all. Its a mindset that isn't accepted by the majority, and is generally considered a "bad personality". In actuality, Right-brained persons are keen to the "whole picture" as opposed to individual pieces, and because of this are often more artistic than Left-brained people.

  • I don't think he's left handed, but maybe he's ambidiestrous.

  • Watch the video where he's writing Rose March. He also acts like a strong-right minded person (left handed).

  • he's a left handed who learnt to play guitar as a right.

  • who..?

  • ok, now just get that magic back in music as well, and we'll rock out

  • He is, in fact, left handed.

  • thanks Jay

  • G.L.O.W. rules! It just makes me so happy for the Pumpkins!

  • Comment removed

  • i liked it mainly because of JC. he's an insane drummer.

  • omg smashing pumpkins

    amazing video <33

    and audrey kitching *-*

  • yeah billy 3:22

  • damb... billy... this song, all your new stuff is amazing.. please never stop....i promise if you continue till the end as we both know it.......omg so many more songs, smashing pumpkins... you are the greatest and nicest guy ever, as well as the best musician ever to live, with kurt cobain on the other hand

  • as always the smashing pumpkins never ceise to amaze me.

    even if this is just an add-on its pretty good

  • I love love love the pumpkins but billy sings this with about as much enthusiasm me brushing my teeth at night. And this song is instantly forgettable. I have high hopes for the weird album format he's talking about making next though...

  • AND look up the video SUPER CHRIST by the same video publisher as this video

    Then try and tell me trent reznor is more creative or versatile Than The Smashing Pumpkins

  • i kinda like the new corgan stuff tbh, there not exactely sp standerd but we have to remember he's the only one left in the band now so its not gonna sound the same is it. Nine inch nails are the same in this sense, Trent Reznor is the only guy left in the band and they sound different as a result but many like it regardless. Basically what ive noticed is that most of the new SP songs have to be listened to a bit before you like them these days unlike there earlier stuff.

  • But NIN has really ONLY been Trent Reznor.

    Look it up, he changes people in and out of the group all the time. He is the only permanent member, not like SP, they got kicked out because of drugs, quit or whatever.

  • their drummer Jimmy got hooked on hard drugs and Billy Corgan felt that Jimmy's drug addiction affected the band in a negative manner.

    BUT Billy Corgan never quit the band he just felt that it wasn't the same without him!

    look up Billy Corgan's Journals im not sure if they are still available anymore But i read all of them when they were, and next time don't comment on a topic you haven't researched

    and trent reznor's a back stabber

  • well dude you seem to have me at a disadvantage with your vast knowledge on Billy Corgan and SP and thanks for sharing it with me, i had a vague idea of why they broke up and stuff so thanks for filling in the blanks dude. But i dont know what you mean by Trent being a backstabber, how is Trent a back stabber?

    ive never heard anyone call him that before. You just don't like NIN right?

  • Truly, my friend, first off I give you props for not immediately being offensive with your reply; the only reason why I called Trent Reznor a back-stabber is that he truly damaged Marylin Manson's career.

    There's also information on this, if you do your proper research. If anything, take a look at their 'StarSuckers' video, by NIN. Manson was featured in the video as well as the song. If you watch toward the end of the video, Manson changes your perspective.

    Thank-you for the courteous reply.

  • I am surprised that Billy never has had a drug problem of any kind, not that I'd wish that upon anybody. If he is a lean, clean rock machine, then I must say I have a TON of respect for the man!

  • I'd like him is it weren't for the fact that he's a dick to his band mates. He dissed the shit outta d'arcy and James just because they quit the band, and, clearly, Jimmy couldn't take much more.

  • Yeahhh :-( It's too bad really...

  • Yeah I don't necessarily like the beginning but after a few seconds the song gets real good. Ultimately a great song, Superchrist too.

  • i heard that this sucked but i think its good!

  • I agree

  • this was just a song for guitar hero, stop moaning you old people. fuck!

  • No this was released on Itunes and then offered as an upgrade to guitar hero a Month later

    CHECK THE RELEASE DATES and as i said to the guy above you on the page DON'T TALK CRAP ABOUT A TOPIC YOU HAVEN"T RESEARCHED!

  • i love the pumpkins.....but im sorry to say this song is terrible and the video ugh.

  • audrey kitching (Y)

  • where are those great structures id love the pumpkins for....im a pumpkins fan. but this isnt worth watching/hearing!

  • c,mon c,mon c,mon!

    can you feel it?

  • I would still fuck Corgan, but this is embarrassing. It's been a long fall to the bottom for this band. This song/video is where they've come to creatively? Really?

    - JESSI

  • ....GLOW keeps on GROWing on me. You like that pun.

  • whoo-oo-hoo

  • finally their back.

    SMaShINg pumPKinS FOREVER!!!!!!!

  • does anyone know where i can download this song?

  • buy it.

  • Sweet song I also liked FOL song I cant wait to hear the next smashing pumpkins album.

  • Comment removed

    and love audrey kitching!!))

    ♥♥♥

    xoxo

  • i love SP!Im happy they are back and making awesome songs! <3

  • 3:22 the very last second hes in a white zero shirt with black letters

  • I am glad that the smashing pumpkins are back, and i will always support them and buy their albums. However, their music is not like it was when everyone was still around. I think darcy was just awesome, and james was cool too. Its a shame to what happen to this band. Seems like alot of good bands can't keep their sh** together and maintain forever.

    Nevertheless, good stuff for the new sp and i wish them them the best :)

  • this thing glows on you :D

  • i like this song alot, but nothing beats their older angrier stuff

  • whats up with the "pretty" girls in silver

  • muy buena rola, que bueno que estén de vuelta, la neta ya se les extrañaba. Una de las mejores bandas que existen hoy día.
