his solo album is pretty decent looking back, he should have just kept this sound for the new pumpkins instead of the shitty boring arena rock sound he used for zeitgeist
It doesn't have the same feeling as Machina I/II. Those albums have a strong 'goodbye' theme. Adore is about love, which TFE isn't exactly, but musically they sound similar. Heavy electronic rock!
saw them live in colonge maybe it was 2007 or so....ich never listen to any of the solo songs bofore and was blown away =) got handshake by billy and a smile .. it was such a nice and relaxing evening^^ thx for that
I just saw The Smashing Pumpkins Friday night in Charlotte. I seen Billy Corgan in Cologne, Germany and was blown away. I like the "New" Pumpkins, but I LOVED TheFutureEmbrace soooooooo much more! I wish he would have released a DVD of that tour, but I'm sure it will never happen.
I remember buying this album back in 05. Mina Loy's my fave song from the album I also love Senora by Linda Strawberry who's singing in the back there.
Interesting concept with his setup. Notice the lack of guitar amplifier. Guitar > wifi belt back > preamp > midi on Imac (I think?). Genius. Sounds like several guitar tracks yet is a single track that is layered with midi effects. Bandmembers seem to have an earpiece for PA purposes too. This live setup is awesome, and wouldn't be much of a pain to move around by the looks.
I love it, another awesome gem coming from Corgan, songwriter way above the rest but for hell knows what reason oftenly taken apart by these very little pricks in rock audience, with big egos, lame taste and way too loud asses
I love Corgan's solo album, and I love Machina the lyrical writing is really solid on both. I feel it's even there in Zeitgeist but singles like glow and fol they kind of disappointed me. In the songs glow, flo, and the song come on (lets go) they all focus on the phrase " come on" heavily and I'm thinking... why? Although I saw the live video of freak so I am not worried about Corgan at all. He's a one of a kind musician.
Linda Strawberry is a breath of fresh air as far as as female singers, all the ones with so called "great" voices like carey and alicia keys are kinda horrible in my view, but the public has been brainwashed that holding a high note for a entire minute is actual singing, thats why american idol is so popular, its crap actually
I agree, american idol sucks too bad the better talent have to struggle to make it. While any douche can go there and have the "look" and they get a chance to get on television. I love Linda, my favorite songs are Reckless Hearts and F*ck you I'm Beautiful, she truly shines on the piano as well.
Man, I love this song but Linda Strawberry does not hold a candle to Alicia Key as a singer. I kind of understand what you're saying about "commecial" music.
This is my favorite song off the album. And though Billy's voice is great of course, the girl behind him has a pretty freaking awesome voice too. Listen to her harmonizing and vibratos -- they complement the song perfectly.
I'm realizing how unpopular his solo stuff really is. I'm probably one of the very few who really likes his solo album, and thinks is a really good album.
As some have pointed out, I also prefer it to Zeitgeist, which for the most part I don't get. But The Future Embrace is almost flawless to me, though it's not neccesarily his best work. But definitely is worth hearing.
Than why didn't any pop stations play it. There are two pop stations in my hometown and no one's heard of this song. Even the rock staions wouldn't play it because it was considered "electronica". It's NOT Pop.
You are not as good as this! Give up. Billy kicks your ass all over the place badly. Stop do something else please he is great you are not. I beg you. Please.
I believe Billy mostly played Reverend Slingshot guitars. He used other guitars on the album as well, but the Reverends were what he seemed to use most of time. A lot of the guitar sound on that album is down to loads of effects as well. Billy would only put one guitar track per song, using effects as they were needed to shape the sound. Every song has one guitar part, played in one take, no overdubs, apart from Strayz, which had no guitar at all on it.
Me encanta el album de Billy como solista, esta poca madre, Billy siempre sabe hacer las cosas bien ya sea como solista y con los Smashing, lo adoro uno de mis preferidos por siempre!!!!!
I remember seeing this on letterman and rushing out to get the album. Thank god I listened to it in the store and realised how terrible the rest of the tracks were. Don't get me wrong, Corgan is a great musician, but he flopped on the album.
she toured with billy and there still friends now i think, she does some solo stuff, such as the lost record, think that was her most recent..love this song
A very intelligent and insightful comment, your hero and idol Billy would be proud. It's fans like you who make me embarrassed to say I like the Pumpkins and Billy Corgan.
haha. I don't think we'll see D'Arcy working with Corgan ever again. I'm so glad the Pumpkins are back, but I also hope Billy records another solo album some day.
i once saw billy during vietnam and i screamed "billy corgen!" as i was running to his aid he screamed "What up man" in his raspy german voice. he shot a few rounds. and was with some chick.
i saw billy corgan in a bar on south street in philadelphia.. my buddy yelled , "billy corgan" he just looked over, smiled and said "whats up man" in a raspy voice, he bought a few rounds. he was with some chick
