Rocket - Smashing Pumpkins '92

[unknownkingdom]

They show James for about 3 seconds in the middle. Then in the last 15 seconds we get a glimpse of Darcy, with her back to the camera.

[martiriobaby]

Grandma dresses and pyjamas were cool on stage during the first half of the 90's...Nirvana,Green Day,Smashing Pumpkins,R.E.M,Pearl Jam,etc.

[helikestv]

great era for music, bad era for fashion

[avedic]

@helikestv um, not really. fashion nowadays is so safe and boring and predictable. gender roles are for people with small imaginations...

[TheRealSonicYouth]

@helikestv Whatever man, fashion now is a bunch of hollister and abercrombie etc. then it was flannel band tees jeans etc. it was the bomb!

[thisisAB]

@helikestv nah 90's fashion was chill, random, and a lot of fun

[SrFathermckenzie]

Que buena cancion que es Rocket, que recuerdos tan hermosos de unos noventas muy inolvidables, ...Smashing Pumpkins.

[elgojira]

Best band in 90´s

[elgojira]

Best band in the 90´s

[Teej212]

[Grox]

[MultiGonsalo]

tenho essa versao em cd live q tbm fizeram no violao na qual me emocionei infinitas vezes ao ouvi la .billi d berma o pior rsrsrsrsr!!!!!!!!

[cmorris975]

Billy is a REALLY good guitar player!

[comsaudade]

in fact rocket was played since 1991

[dashettina]

that's true..

Siamese Dream came out in 1993.

Maybe they played "Rocket" before, in concerts..

[friendsandenemiesofu]

since 1991 they've been playing silverfuck and luna and in 1992 hummer, hello kitty kat, sweet sweet, rocket, geek usa and disarm joined their setlist.

songs that were written in 1993 are cherub rock, today, soma, mayonaise and spaceboy

[BlackTeddies]

How can this be 92 when the album came out in 93 :S

[lloydaphelion]

haha, more like 'Billie' Corgan..

[lilbeav410]

Goddamn, Billy is hot as hell.. Even when he wears a dress, he screams the heat of a flame...!!

[i2ad10head]

When the pumpkins were really Indie!

[LimitedEdition500]

@i2ad10head why type of music is indie

[717mienbao]

either the sound is so bad it makes the lyrics sound different or this song was still in demo stage without the finalized lyrics when this concert occured.

[thomasrix]

nice to see Jimmy messing about at 3.10.

[UbiquitousGeek]

James could really pass for a chick.

[daxterdot]

My Reaction: Ooooft, That Bird's Hawt. ;)

:| *Sense Of Realisation*

Jesus Christ, Thats Billy!

[nukesistah]

*sighs* wish i could go back to 92'..

[supersexypirateninja]

i love the smashing pumpkins

i love billy corgan

but he looks smashed!!

he looks so fucking drunk!

I LOVE IT!

hes evan wearing a dress bless his little soul!:)<3

[skankidd]

bless his HUGE soul

you dont have to be drunk to wear a dress

corgan just had a HUUUGE IMAGINATION;]

[XxMissNoNamexX]

Billy...sweetie...why are you wearing a dress?

And why am I not surprised?

:D

*Note, I love Billy, and this is in no way an insult.

[evakinevil]

i love feminism don't you, it's hot

[BABIROCKSVIDEOES]

because they fucked if people thought they could be homosexuals (they aren't), they were open minded to sex, respecting the real homosexuals, Billy is a very sensitive person.

[BABIROCKSVIDEOES]

I really loved Smashing Pumpkins because of their sense of humour, so rare in all '90 bands, Billy and James are so fine and beautiful they look amazing even with a girl's dress!

I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!1

[pockeyboi]

he looks so good in a dress!! I have always wanted to wear one, but didn't have the balls, they just gave it to me, with their music, I'm having my lesbian friend make one for me, as silky one YES I SHALL BE FREE!!!!

[ChainChomp122]

this song came out in 1993 why are they playing it in 1992

[OwrKeeng]

they were working on it since like 91 silly

[ALONZUMAN]

lol what a retard

[OwrKeeng]

Me?

[ALONZUMAN]

no, the guy who said like ' the song came out at 93' why are they playin it? '

[shocktrooper42]

god this is so hot O.o

lol

[JenniferOcious79]

James even has stockings on. Billy went bare-legged. Nice. There's a picture I found a while back, that is taken of Billy in a flowered dress/shorts outfit and his leg is up on the amp, and the camera is pointed up at his crotch, and he's obviously got no underwear on and you can see one of his testicles coming out. I enlarged that area of the picture, and put a smiley face over it. Money shot, indeed. Anyone seen the picture I'm talking about?

[BABIROCKSVIDEOES]

wow it has to be great to see pudic Billy almost nude, seeing and not seeing his male part is more sexy than ever, how can I find this picture??????

[JenniferOcious79]

I actually never found it on the internet again. But if you want it send me your email addy and I'll email it to you. Sorry for the late reply.

[BABIROCKSVIDEOS]

Hello, i don'tknow why my site was erased and ihad to come back subscribing.

Have a good 2009!

[highwaysofgold]

billy likes wearing clothes that will get peoples' attention on stage. that's just part of the show.

[SpitfireDramaQueen]

I love you Billy, I'll lift your dress any day...!! :-P

In all seriousness: Billy is one of the few artists that I can listen to, change his lyrics, and STILL rock...!! :-)

[repelghosts]

when we visited James Iha at his home his parents were there , and his Mom hates him wearing the dresses, but his young daughter was there and looks just like Jimmy...he is one of the nicest men in the business and lives very modestly...fuck you Perez Hilt-shit...you know no one compared to us...

Da Girlz.

[SPsk8er]

no other guy can look like a badass in a dress besides billy and james

[philipnod]

kurt cobain looked great in a dress

[xxTDProductionsx]

this song is awsome and sp owns, but wat's the deal with the dresses?

[simmyuk]

fukin awesome

[Drewbiestar]

hahah!!! james is wicked!! lol

he wears dresses! X)

so is billy!!! <3333

[Drewbiestar]

hahah!!! james is wicked!! lol

he wears dresses! X)

so is billy!!! <3333

[totallyxskrewed]

Billy Corgan has some nice legs there.

God I love the Smashing Pumpkins. Haha.

[autumn999]

Billy's voice is amazing in this video.

[deathbykick]

I am as well a pumpkins fan. Billy looks horrible in a dress.

[martinvsyolat3ngo]

that's sort of the point.

[everythirteendays]

Funny how "fashion" changes

[SPsk8er]

i am a huge smashing pumpkins fan so i dont want to offend any body by asking this question y are they in dresses???

[Levesque999]

Holy shit, he left the bar on the strat

[khanflesh]

i don't think it's so much jimmy not being able to keep tempo [the dude was trained as a jazz drummer - he's always on pont], but more the fact that they would always change the songs live. billy is too much of a perfectionist to allow the tempo to be mistakenly sped up.

[BitchGirlStar]

Well... Every rockstar should wear a dress at least once.

Billy Corgan... What a legs! He should show it more often. A kilt would be nice ;)

[thesoulman573]

how come Billy and Jimmy are both wearing dresses? Anyway sweet video!

[thenextfrusciante]

I'm confused, how can this be '92 if Siamese Dream came out in '93?

[billymyone]

dude, look at the hair. Billy cut it short while recording siamese dream

[MAXKORN1]

they already had the songs lined up. In the silverfuck video from this concert he says, "here's another song you don't know... for all you bootleggers, it's called silverfuck." They probably came up with these songs on the gish tour (if this is the gish tour?) Billy's a madman when it comes to writting songs.

[StaticRadio]

Rocket was one of the first songs written for Siamese Dream, so they performed it before the album was recorded

[Circa7]

dammit jimmy sped up the song even more..

lol he never could really keep tempo as tight..

SP!!

[lilydee]

his legs are better than mine... =/ ghghgh

[ForgottenSoul700]

It would be nice it he wasn't wearing any underwear, but it's a relief he wears boxers and not briefs, he'd really be weird.

Boy, has some legs. Nice long ones. Billy Corgan is sexy in his early years, looks like a classic rocker with his long, messy hair, and psychedelic outfits. It takes guts too act like that. I give him kudos. I wonder what it would be like to sleep with him? Ask Courtney ;)

[lilbeav410]

LOL Omg, HELL yea, I agree on that COMPLETELY...!!!

;-D

[soka70]

Very psychedelic dress!

[lilbeav410]

Leeman17 is kinda rite- remember how James wears a dress in the video "Today"? I almost mistook him for a girl. I dunno y I think Billy's an exception, though (gosh, he's hot in a dress)- I think it's his beautiful legs? It just makes my mind wander... :-P

[Leeman17]

anyone notice how James Iha looks like he belongs in a dress.. its so awesome.. I thought he was gay once.. until I learned him and Darcy had a relationship, wicked guitar player, and can wear a dress.. what a man.. whoot SP FOR LIFE

[laxativesuicide]

by the way, my dress was as ugly as his, flowers, pink....all that...

[laxativesuicide]

Well I'm a 6"0 girl and without thinking of Billy and the dress, I performed in a dress too. Like, my 2nd performance ever! I'm a drummer so I did have to wear some pants to you know, it was a very windy day ;)

Bill you rock I love the dress abfab sweety darling...:P

[lilbeav410]

I now understand the way guys feel when they think a girl is hot and wanna lift her skirt... :-P

[mugglenetter08]

Haha! Yeah, Billy Corgan once said in an interview, "I'm 6'4", bald, and in a dress; if that doesn't make you laugh, i don't know what does!"

[ixlikexbananas]

Billy Corgan is officially my idol.

[bassplayermykk]

there's something about a 6'3" man in a dress...

I can feel the pain of the high E string

[brianmsnyder]

Haha.. actually he's 6'4".. and he's somehow an unusually TALL 6'4". I'm 6'3", and I met him two years ago and it seemed like he towered over me. Weird. :)

[backinburntcity]

I CAN'T STOP LOOKING AT HIS KNEES.

[Fersantos1984zzz]

Great early version of a cool tune. Love the suits!!

Very psichodelic. full of magic!!

[jetstarIII]

Nice dress Billy, I always had this early version of Rocket just not a video. Bowie. Ziggy. Billy. They all go together. I just hate that someones High E string on their guitar is flat. You can see Billy trying to tune it up at the beginning of the song, but it's heard throughout...

[dlma97]

it's other song, maybe rocket (alt)

[Gerkinstock]

So sad that D'Arcy is the one NOT wearing a dress:(

[countacura]

looks like Reading Festival 92

[richie2430]

loved billy with his long hair

[dune459]

i never really think about how they used to were dresses.I wish they didn't but they did :( :)

[ilpumpkina]

nice legs haha

[fiftynineviolets]

Corgan with LONG hair! This must be 1992.

Aparently this was a bad time for the band though, their first album had gone unoticed thanks to Nirvana and there next ablum was still a year away. Still, great perfomance.

[Hamptonio]

Yeah! Total glam! That's straight outta Bowie's wardrobe in 1971 :) Cheeky cheeky, and totally r(c)ock.

[otacon451]

mmm those legs

[alaskanbastard]

It is Rocket, it's just an early version of it with alternative lyrics. I have an early version of Rocket that sounds a lot like this where the lyrics are different.

[keioffice]

i dont think that is actually rocket, just another song with rockets music, billy does that with alot of songs, if you listen to the gravity demo tapes it has alot of that.

[berkitybuckbill]

cool beans

[sssllloooaaannn]

Where's it from?

[madpilot24]

thanks for this rare video!

[archerpage]

Billy looks good in his flowery dress! Good performance
