Interesting! Now I know what my nose and throat and vocal cords look like. God, I am in middle school and some of you people are more immature then some of the kids in my school...
Just noticed, after listening to Dave Grohl performing Everlong acoustically, that it sounds slightly like Tonight, tonight. I love both the songs and the Foo Fighters are my 2nd fave band. After the Pumpkins that is :D
@fabixyard Seriously dude...? I'm so tired of listening to rock songs from the 90's and scrolling down to see the top rated comment is something about music today sucking and how pop crap sucks. I agree; I hate pop, rap, etc. But keep in mind, there is no "right or wrong" type of music. You can have your opinions, but dig deeper. There is tons of great rock music out there. Each generation is inspired by the previous. Learn with what you have. You'll be wishing you did 20 years from now.
@nieminono31 same here, I first listened to whatever was on america's top 40 on the radio, and then I was introduced to grunge and rock by my boyfriend. Now I can't stand 'new music' like lady gaga, and pop stuff, I only enjoy and listen to this kind of stuff.
@nieminono31 strange comparison, I love 'Smashing Pumpkins' but also like a lot of Rap and RnB. Comparing the two genres is like comparing beer and wine; both beverages, or alcoholic drinks, but both are preferred at different occasions and settings. Hope that makes sense - on a side note the alcohol comparison frightens me ;)
Man Billys had that dove guitar for years, he's got it in the 33 film clip and the adore concert in sydney 98 and it's even in 'if all goes wrong'2008 must be his favourite
YES, I'm so glad someone else feels the same way about this song! It's a well kept secret but I can pull off an exact Billy Corgan vocal imitation. We have the same nose (I've noticed facial structure has a lot to do with vocal similarity). Plus I play the guitar. I've been considering putting up an acoustic performance of Tonite Tonite (reprise) on YouTube video or MySpace just to see if people could tell the difference...lol. Friends are amazed but I might sound nothing similar in reality (?)
Man, I envy you so much. Any memories you care to share? I so wish I'd cared about the Pumpkins back when they were together. I just can't see the "reunion" as being really them, you know?
theres a mith that says when they called themselves The Smashing Pumpkins in the begginin some fans litterally smashed pumpkins in the shows, so they changed it to Smashing Pumpkins
dude the smashing pumpkins made up so many different explanations for there name, all of them are lies, like one was that gene simmons came to billy in a dream and told him to choose that name
lol u idiot. its a dumb question not because its 'acoustic', but because when a song is this beautiful, the equipment does not matter. listen to the song, worry about guitars and amps afterwards.
