[fantos100]

Way to ruin a classic!



[LetsGetHighOnMorris]

Perry Farrel at 2:30

[LetsGetHighOnMorris]

Great cover Pumpkins, played in the style of Gish \,,/

[sk8nkurtcobain]

sounds like the smashing pumpkins....... crap!

[mattallica464]

sounds like smells like teen spirit

[TheNumberOneGuyDude]

If you dont like Blue Oyster Cult AND Pumpkins why the fuck are you watching it? I love it by the way.

[DoctorGonzo32]

@TheNumberOneGuyDude you absolutely right, dude!

[ifoundsage]

This is just horrible.

[jimmyjames1968able]

stoopid. Must suck to be billy.

[archiecollins]

Cool footage. I love seeing how big-time bands started out like everybody else.

[MrMicas101]

smashing pumpkins blows, disgrace to rock

[jtraske]

sucks!

[thenthelightningwill]

This blows. Apologize to the Blue Oyster Cult, beaches!

And Gojira. Also.

[jroxx11211]

WTF...WTF,,,WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[turbonisseful]

destroyed a great ssong with fucking grunge

[gauchebag]

haha this was corgans answer to smells like teen spirit

[diamondcolosus]

wtf, smash those rotten pumpkins...smells like rotten pumpkins.

[DoctorGonzo32]

I know, original is better, but anyway I like this "noisy crap"!

[Quasi8]

Why do musicians have to hate eachother? If you're all that good you don't have to knock other people's rips.

[postsux08]

die motherfucker die u just fucked a great song ........

[Esperanto77]

yeah i agree that i think he was trying to say something about kurt with this song and performance...

[LordOFThisWorld19]

faggot shit

[sungodrah]

yeah not impressed! and where are the Pumpkins ever mentioned now.as opposed to greats like BOC and Nirvana ..exactly!  sarcasm in rock only works for the "talaented" ...

[dustynutz406]

yea im pretty sure the pumpkins were tryin 2 say somthin about kirt with this performance*

[MrDirtydad]

@dustynutz406 ...yea...like he ripped off other artists....and if alive today kirk would be exposed for the idiot he was. did he think of his child when he offed himself? very selfish and stupid thing to do. Nirvana is an example of good managment

[krashboombang]

Sounds like Nirvana.........

[strapontool]

Blue Oyster Nirvana

[51Thundersticks]

Ruined

[rebelmunro]

What AssHoles!

[torped0vegas]

disgraceful

[longfootbuddy]

billy corgan is a fagoo

[MoishaFromstein]

Is it me or does it sound like Teen Spirit when it's played fast?

[skraggy65]

Blue oyster cult door de pumkins, Cobain was een dief!

[DoctorGonzo32]

Hey, don't fuck these guys! Everyone's have theirs cover!...

[dkitty8124]

i like the pum-kins but this is an insult to b.o.c., NIRVANA..and themselves.!!!

[emphaticleech]

@dkitty8124 For one...how is it an insult? And two, how is it an insult to Nirvana? Kurt even admitted to ripping off everything he wrote.

[atvbigrig]

He just effing shreds the riff....so so good....this is where all good bands come from, a good sense of humor combined with a need to just thrash everything in front of them till the whole world is shaking at it's very foundation.... Pumpkins EFFING ROCK!!!

[Gamagachee]

2:25 is that Perry Farrell?!?! Awesome.

[Gamagachee]

Lol it's weird that you guys are dissing this. It was in a college party where only a few people went, it's basically extremley rare. This is good footage.

[mrsteve123]

I think thats good, both good songs mixed why not lol 

[TheGlenn8]

WHY DID TAY DO THIS

[punkrockefeller]

god awful............

[ricvonzipper]

Pure Crap. These idiots have ZERO artistic integity.

[emphaticleech]

@ricvonzipper I guess you hate Cream's cover of Crossroads because it's so different too, don't you?

[ricvonzipper]

@emphaticleech Well, Cream's version was actually better than the original. Can you say the same about this? Be honest now.

[emphaticleech]

@ricvonzipper Well, no not quite. It's a great cover, but definitely not as good as BOC's.

And I disagree. Robert Johnson's original is way better than Cream's. Clapton will even tell you that.

[kim24aldrich]

this is horrible

 fu manchu did a better job

[openroad88]

Hats of Anus.

[aaronkingq]

lol. This version is crappy, the recording of it is horrible. Go listen to the actual recording on Mashed Potatoes, sounds fucking amazing.

[KStarDid]

History shows again and again how video points up the folly of men !

[thecolonel93]

Just ruined the song......... can't even hear him.

[williampatrickcorgan]

this is cool

[DrivenBlack]

its so fast he cant even sing it

[mercmarc]

damn their right kurt stole it from BOC.!!!

[s0undch4ser]

keep it in your pants Tarzan leave the heavy lifting for the big boys. and try not to color outside the lines again

[ILuvMtDew420]

sometimes drugs and good songs DONT go well

[desdanova3]

Right ILMD420 !!!

Unless you are so passed out that you can't recognize either the band or the song, I guess !!!

[RoyalKush420]

its like having pins stuck in my eardrums....horrible

[rmk266]

This is a big steamy pile of shit !

[a714lien]

hmm, right about the time Gish came out. Within a couple months comes Nevermind and kills their album. They are making a point about SLTS having the same chords as Godzilla just uptempo. Get It?

[kewlcid123]

horrible

[MobileSpies]

This is noisy crap played too fast.

[Rikkangel]

I think the whole point of playing it that fast was that they were saying"Smells Like Teen Spirit" sounded like the riff from Godzilla sped up

[AToxicOrange]

@MobileSpies This is called a different interpretation. It was a party, get over it.

[tim3273]

@MobileSpies your noisy crap played too fast

[MobileSpies]

@tim3273 Thanks!

[tim3273]

@MobileSpies your welcome

[rjfpace]

frickin awesome!!!!!! Watching a band grow. This is like a college party....

[pittmankiller]

What year was this done?

[rtvandle]

I like it, although the sound quality sucks a lil, its way better on mashed potatoes box set

[Anargie]

Smells like Godzilla...

[sbrave]

That original riff was probably an inspiration for SLTS.

First time I heard Nirvana I thought they ripped it for sure!

[g9rocks64]

these guys needed to kick their sound guy's ass! If the vocals had been louder, this would've been a decent cover. Also...never realized how much this song resembled "Smells Like Teen Spirit" hmmmm.......interesting......

[exviper16]

they ruined it!!!!

[explosion231]

i see a little resemblece to smells like teen spirit in the begining

[AmbroseFierce88]

haha speeding it up not only kills the "big" sound of the main riff it makes the song sound like a bad rip off of a "Smells like Teen Spirit". Or during the solo it sounds more like Geek USA. Who's peaking the Japanese bit?

[Crasher19]

Its hard to get sucker then that im sorry to say.

[JuanDeSoCal]

no need to speed this song up to make it "punky". the riff sounds more powerful at a slower tempo.

[LoRcS123]

HEY CHONGO !!! chongo from the movie detroit rock city should pay these spackas a visit

[volcom3535]

did that faggot forget the words

[Gmoreno89]

your mom faggot the words

[volcom3535]

that doesnt make any frikin sense at all..... if you cant talk right then just dont talk at all

[Gmoreno89]

sdutfgyuhlijko;lp;....?

[breakdancekid101]

What the hell? .......

The crowd must be high to clap to a band like you.

[zzzepptri]

When you look up "sucks ass" in the dictionary you see a reference to this video. Sorry, pumpkins, like some of your other stuff.

[emidore]

Sounds like Billy Corgan is singing into a vacuum. Didn't anyone do a mic check? Sheesh.

[xxfinnellxx]

this just sucked

[aleisterfiend]

wow they suck ass and they raped a good song.

[Iamthemetal1]

for an awesome verson of this song type in your search

1000 pounds of thrust

hey play it hard n heavy it's awesome

[schatzibomb11]

booooooooooooooo you suck

[johnartmaster]

i think they fuckin suck

[exodus0724]

opening sound like teen spirit

[codylikesfootball]

cool

[inagod]

way off,out of tune,what a butcher job

[showjumper57]

Way, way out of tune. Butcher is too nice a word.

[rovebeetle]

its almost like only the instrumental

[brothermopsy]

Billie Corgan should have the sense to get someone else to sing, his voice PHAILS!!! The music ain't bad but he really can't sing. Also he has negative stage presence.

[Hughnsue]

Find someone else to bitch about!

[Hughnsue]

I think they ROCK!

[bunnygon]

blue oyster cults versions alot better

[sammers34]

What a way to rape a most classic tune..lol!!!!

[vikingdale66]

they murdered this song.

[SirJamestheIII]

SLOW DOWN

[G116778920]

"let's see some teen spirit god fucking damn it" LOL!!!!!!

[uuaz62]

Jerkoffs. You can't play Godzilla on a fender. This really, really blows. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Really sucks. I like your band, but you're fucking up, big time. No respect for the masters. Your timing sucks. This whole thing sucks big moose cock

[awzomenezzz]

this isnt his band nigga it billy corgans and the smashing pumpkins are fucking amazing

[agoober579]

yeah you fuckers SP are playing this song as a joke. they just want to rock

[newbpwnr]

SP sucks ass.

[cieggou]

all for courney billy corgan fall in love and kurt cobain too

[OwrKeeng]

Lol Godzilla does sound like SLTS

[fender52tele]

other way around ;)

[OwrKeeng]

Ohhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AlbertMondback]

Sweet. Somebody else who thinks that.

[CallMeTheHunter]

that looks fun

[nikolak29]

this is fucking awesome

[Atomic12345]

What a joke. Did they honestly take this song seriously or actually cared about playing it? They left out lyrics, they played sloppy, and they had errors everywhere. Granted it was in their early years. But, that is no excuse to butcher a song that you had no enthusiasm to cover in the first place. If you want to see a better that does justice to the song. Watch Racer X's version. At least they enjoyed playing the song unlike these guys.

[OwrKeeng]

You seriously just dont get it.

[Wheatool]

Let it be corgan.

thumbs down

[smurfyann]

Corgan makes this song sound like shit. What a dooooshbagge.

[lancelot80ve]

Que mierda de versión...

[RockNRoller56]

totally sounds like Smells Like Teen Spirit

[areakbigun]

i am 43 i hear the kids talk about these guys,they really suck don't they?

[nicolesamsonite]

they rock man!! well their older stuff anyways...i don't care for the new zeitgeist stuff...u should really check out their earlier work

[sprji77]

It's supposed to be ironic, they're poking fun at Nirvana.

I PROMISE you, if Billy Corgan wanted to play BOC, he could. He's a guitar God.

[rickyricardorojas]

yeah i heard that nirvana feel to it

[AlmigthyIsDead]

Oh holy fuck corgan really rocks at guitar...tis is not the best cover, i admit. it's more like nirvana, but then again this proberbly wasnt the greatest gig in their career so it does'nt matter

[martinwendler]

this cover its like smell like teen spirit at the intro

[iceman10129]

its not smells like teen spirit at the intro, its the godzilla chords played at a smells like teen spirit tempo.

[thomashagen16]

plus drum part from smells like teen spirit

[johnmcane]

I like this one.

[pjrbx75]

sounds like nirvana

[jimmypageforprez]

if you listen to the real song he doesnt do the guitar that fast fucktard

[johnmcane]

It's called changing the song so it's not exactly the same and cool.

[jimmypageforprez]

i know but their making it sound like teen spirit ripped off

[johnmcane]

That's what makes it unique and cool.

[jimmypageforprez]

haha yea i guess

[Flame30689]

its a cover

[jesusonguitar]

They really f'd up this song. They sped it up, left out lyrics, messed up the beat, and had way to much distortion. Disgusting!

[policyguy224]

it's a cover dude, the more originality the better

its not suppose to sound like the original song

[Flame30689]

its a cover

[idontknow976]

this is terrible they messed the song up

[Flame30689]

its a cover

[danceingqueen112]

my brother loves the smashing pumpkins

[Datadog314]

As a musician, I would be embarassed to put this out.

What a disrespectful performance..........that you lack in talent, you more than make up for in volume/distortion.

[OldSnake51]

I think the voice from unreal tournment says it all. YOU SUCK!!  I could do a better godzilla

[DesertWolf87]

What disrespect to BOC and to the King of Monsters!

[Thelance79]

On behalf of any decent blue oyster cult fans out there, these people should be boiled alive. This is terrible.

[esroe1022]

It is so beeter slower

[JBrugger1080]

hahahahaha at 0:25 I think I shit my pants when james said that

[paulc1164]

Anyone know where the audio version is available from?

[modechick101]

can anybody tell me about SP's feelings on Nirvana?

[DrSmoothness]

I know that Billy loves Courtney Love.

[Brizzlerman]

The original is much better this one sounds too weak.

[yourysavior]

Wow, one of the greatest things I've ever seen. Smashing Pumpkins covering BÖC. Anyone with just the audio of this?

[yourysavior]

Or video?

[LostSoul9991313]

the original sucks anyway. the sped up tempo is wayy better.

[manic486]

it's too bad kurt is dead maybe we'd see a breakdown video like dave mustaine crying to lars ulrich about how he was always living in metallica's shadow.

i laugh at your pain nosferatu I LAUGH HA HA

[oblivionking240]

they just killed a great song

[keioffice]

they just made a shitty song decent

[fetchmybeer]

funny in many ways... funny that Billy had to stop and retune...funny that they had some random dude (who was that?) come up and do the Japanese voices when they had Iha right there...and funny that they intentionally changed the beat and added a bit more rhythm to make it resemble Teen Spirit...

[rexmichaeldillon]

I had never made the Teen Spirit connect until hearing this.  Wow. SO Nirvana ripped off BOC and Killing Joke!! That is fantastic.

[yummybacon]

I knew they were going to say it sounded like Nirvana before they I clicked on the video. M

[1whoistornapart]

Let's see some teen spirit god-fucking-dammit!

[vaiman777]

But I knew this already but most hacks do not. ;-)

[alexpineda]

holy fuck wild man. nerds, but they rock haha. go pumpkins

[zwanpumpkin]

Awesome videos. How did you get them?
