Smashing Pumpkins- Gish Review

[harlockyoumetech]

thumbs up if you think the song crush was inspired by pink floyd

[bonemachine20]

You should do Deerhunter Halcyon Digest, its amazing and i think you would appreciate it

[nstvotvzoso1]

Dude this album is awsome theres soooo many good songs i love crush too haha

[varfk000]

I thought you were gonna rant about Butch Vig on the bass break like the live shows.

[zachpygott]

pumpkins are fucking awsome, you look like shaggy of scooby doo aswell haha :)

[The666thBowelOfHell]

What about Snail?? :(

[BnHwrd]

All I had to do was subscribe. AWESOME JOB!

[ultramegaunknown]

By the waey, what's your favorite song off of Gish?

I think mine is "Snail"...

[ultramegaunknown]

Cool review. This is my fav Pumpkins release. It holds so much mystery, and as you stated, the songs contrast each other greatly, but I think it works well that way.

Very deep and multidimensional, especially for a debut. Corgan's vocals are the best here, as well... awesome reviews, man!

[FantasmaDanza]

Powerchord undulation to sultry messaged lift your pelvis perfection.. your review is way off... perfectly placed excellently played. I wouldn't change a thing.

[rachelstce]

you should review some of hole's albums. i'm interested in your opinions

[bush555]

Man, this is a brilliant review!

You got talent sir.

[xe989]

you dumb fuck, this is why stoners are not suppost to have coumpters

[SirAllAboutMusic]

@xe989 But computers are so awesome! How else would I look at gay porn while I'm smokin a fat joint?

[xe989]

@SirAllAboutMusic true you got me their that gay porn is intence when to stoned out of ur mind

[SirAllAboutMusic]

@xe989 I'm sorry, I can't understand this blathering. Maybe if you smoked some weed you'd make more sense?

[xe989]

@SirAllAboutMusic maby it's you that isent stoned & im the one tripping balls like they do in gay stoner porn

[SirAllAboutMusic]

@xe989 Well then, maybe I can join you and we can get high and make our own gay stoner porn...together.

[xe989]

@SirAllAboutMusic hahaha sweet, ill bring the bong/ haha man ur pretty cool i just don't like it when people do reviews on songs beacuse music is somthing ur suppost to find on ur own, not from the people on youtube

[kurdtkobainrocks]

@SirAllAboutMusic Yeah man crunchy tunes!!! This kinda makes me want to roll a fat blunt smoke some of that killer mango kush my man tony brought from birmingham. Oh and watch gay porn. But like all at the same time. Weed fucking rules. so does smashing pumpkins and gay porn man.

[kurdtkobainrocks]

@SirAllAboutMusic ..Yeah dude if you want next time you watch gay porn check out 4 guys, 2 sheep, 3 bottles of epikak, a horse, a mule, 4 whip cream bottles, a bottle of anal lube, a mentally challenged 3 y.o., 6 well masturbated alligators, 1 jizzing dog, cocaine off edward penishands' penishands and a fat indian man with gerbil constipation. Hawtest porno ever to listen to smashing pumpkins and smoke chronic to.

[Fluidvirgo]

@SirAllAboutMusic Really, read this chain and laughed my ass off. Nice sense of humour there.

Don't agree on everything you say about the Pumpkins albums, but hey, it's all about opinion...

[ZZYXY456]

@SirAllAboutMusic i like it how everyone is thumbing up ur comments only, btw i think you're great at this whole album reviewing shit keep it up

[tylenol2k7]

I gotta say man you know your music. Awesome Review.

[SureFire420]

Didn't expect you to have so much to say. Kewl - Let's smoke a doobie Mattew Lillard! X^D

[spooner113]

Gish was named after Lillian Gish.

Her great granddaughter was friends with my little sister.

Kinda cool I know a relative of the namesake of this record.

[ProbableFiction]

I don't think Chamberlin is underrated at all. I think he gets all the praise he definitely deserves. It may be important to mention that that syncopation is due to him being primarily jazz influenced.

[SuperJElliott]

A. You look like mattew lilard

B. I don't understand what you mean by songs sounding over produced. Do you mean fake? As well as you saying glossy, this confuses me. Please help me understand sir!

[SureFire420]

@SuperJElliott I will help you Understand -

A. - Buy a Copyof the album and hold it in thelight, thenwiggle it - youwillsee the Glossyness.

B. You're comment was having me LoL'in my f'n A off.

[shittybullshit]

so far all I have is their rotten apples compilation which got me into the pumpkins about 9 years ago got mellon collie 2 years ago and got siamese dream a few weeks ago, both amazing albums Im hoping on getting them all I'll probably go for Adore next

[goatsheadsoup20]

Love this album so much my favorite Pumpkins albums FUCKIN AWESOME!

[wickedratched]

For not hearing the album yet, It looks like you know what your talking about. Great taste. Congradulations, You have yourself another subscriber my friend.

[SirAllAboutMusic]

@wickedratched Yeah dood, def go get this album, it's fantastic. And thanks for the sub!! :D

[MajorKoenig2]

Window Paine is one of my favorite songs on this album.

[srfrr]

Ummm you are a little late. Can you do someone new? Like Surfer Blood.

[SirAllAboutMusic]

I don't want to. I like talking about old bands. But if you want to see some cool reviews about new music, go to users/theneedledrop, Awesome stuff there. Thanks for the comment!!

[ChainChomp122]

awesome man, what that first song?

[SirAllAboutMusic]

Thanks dood!! Song's called "I Am One".

[spneverfail]

dude u know ur music

[andrewface]

the overproduction is what makes gish and SD soo damn good...SD is one of the best sounding albums to this day

[SirAllAboutMusic]

That's what I said.

[andrewface]

you made it seem like the production was a weak point of the record when really its one of the strongest

[SirAllAboutMusic]

Direct quote: "The Smashing Pumpkins sound DEMANDS glossy production...and it doesn't take the power out of the songs."

I never said ANYTHING bad about the production at al. And I gave the record a 9/10.

[kyotoair]

nice review man!!

[Nobodie92]

Gish is one of my favorites from them. Good job reviewing it, I met Jimmy Chamberlin a few days ago. Cool guy.

[SirAllAboutMusic]

Dood you met Chamberlin? Where? How? You lucky person you!!

[Nobodie92]

Yeah, LaCrosse Wisconsin. He did a drum clinic. He was signing stuff and playing stuff. He was amazing.  Nice guy to. Says he has no bad feelings toward Cogan and still remain friends.

[SirAllAboutMusic]

Thats awesome. Yeah I heard the same thing about him not having any resentment towards Billy.

[smashingpumpkin94]

dude thats fucking awesome........howd you meet him?

[ACrackInTheWall2006]

Gish is the album I listen to the most from them. Because of your reviews I've started getting back into the Pumpkins. Need to go out and get Siamese Dream, Pisces Iscariot and Mellon Collie And The Infinent Sadness.

[SirAllAboutMusic]

Siamese Drrrrrrream!!!!!!

[SirAllAboutMusic]

Hey man, I appreciate your comment, and if you PM me the request, I'll be happy to do it, but please don't post the same comment on six videos, it's kind of distracting. Thanks for the comment though!

[siliva1]

very solid review dude, but if the smashing pumpkins put obscured as the last track on gish. Gish would be complete and id give it a 10 out of 10

[SirAllAboutMusic]

I relaly like Obscured, but I'd have to disagree. I think it found it's rightful place on Pisces Iscariot. Just my opinion though.

[TheSmashingApples]

You never said you favorite song of the album

[SirAllAboutMusic]

You are very right sir. Prolly would be Crush, I love how the bass line and that lead guitar riff mesh with each other.

[onkel44lekno]

Gish is from 1991.

[SirAllAboutMusic]

Damn! I just can't seem to get these release dates right. Thanks for the correction!

[Praseodym666]

awesome review man !

I love every pumpkins albums, well maybe except Zeitgeist :P

[SirAllAboutMusic]

Pretty much the same here, though I wan't too big on Adore either.

[theneedledrop]

Awesome review!!! :-D I've never heard this LP, and I'm curious to hear the band's earlier years now that you've said that meld between metal and dream pop wasn't always there.

[SirAllAboutMusic]

This is really the only one you'll hear it on. By the time Siamese Dream came out, they had the mixing of the two down.

[attaxwrongnes]

cool review man it was real detailed. For a fair few years the pumpkins were one of my fave bands and still one i like alot but dont really listen to much anymore. this was a very strong debut record, lookin forward to see your reviews of the others, will you be doing any of the solo albums or side projects of the band members?

[SirAllAboutMusic]

I might do them as individual reviews, but they won't be part of this series. Just sticking to the Smashing Pumpkins albums. Glad you liked it!

[KvSrocks]

awesome album!!!

[HardToWatchReviews]

Awesome review. Good observations.

Gish was a very promising starting point for the band. The song writing was very well done and a little too showy, but it was just a prelude of things to come.

[Alex703rockstar]

I was never huge into Smashing Pumpkins. I always liked them, but never cared enough to buy all of their records. Awesome review though.

[SuperMario16bit]

You are doing these reviews at a nice time, I'm on a a huge pumpkins kick. Gish is incredible, The Pumpkins "Bleach" of sorts. The only problem is that it isn't as consistent as later Pumpkin albums. It has so many damn incredible songs, but my favorite is probably Rhinoceros or maybe Window Paine, it's just so damn perfect. 8.9/10

Can't wait for the Siamese Dream review, and to hear you're favorite track from that album.

[SirAllAboutMusic]

I was actually gonna touch on that point about it being the Pumpkins "Bleach"! Dammit totally forgot. Both of them are SURPRISINGLY solid albums, especially for debuts.

[fix3db]

LOVE the Pumpkins.

This album is great, but Siamese Dream is just stellar.

Can't wait to hear the rest of your reviews for this band.

[SirAllAboutMusic]

I think Siamese Dream is their most solid work. I can't wait to get around to that review.

[MonMccool123]

At one of the record stores at where I go to college, James Iha (the asian guy in the smashing pumpkins) came out with 400 records! Wish I had the money to do that.

[SirAllAboutMusic]

Damn!! Me too!! I'd be in heaven!!
