First place winner of Tarantula fan-made video contest

[gomonkeyforcego]

For those who don't know, there is a full version on the winners own youtube channel. Just search for "Smashing Pumpkins - Fan Tarantula Video (Full)" by Hilum.

Why the Pumpkins didn't upload the whole thing, I have no idea.  But like this to get it up on the top comments for everyone to see.

[kittykat0202]

for being made in 2007 this is insane.

[EasilySuede]

THIS IS NUTS!!!

[JaimeVillacis]

I remember seeing the full version before somewhere, maybe even here. It went all the way to the end. It had a prodcution company credit at the end

[ElsolraSaul]

First place winner and the video ends before the song even finishes!!!

[Malingo25]

I think it focuses too much on the weird-looking dude wearing the HUGE collared cape(I only know the names of the original members, other than Billy obviously).

And not enough attention is paid to the female back-up singer. It's like the person who made this intentionally cut her out. But other than that an extremely enjoyable video.

[ObscuredJellybelly]

@Malingo25 Well maybe this is an extremely late reply, but the cape-guy is Jeff Schroeder. :P

[the4lacedshoe]

A lot better than the original! They should get more fan-made videos for future songs

[yellofury]

holy crap this video pwns the original and made its red headed stepchild

[StrangeButDrew]

you gotta be kiddin' me... this is fan made?!

[Alwaysbaggyjeans]

it's a bit bizarre that the fan video is WAYYYY better than the original video.

[zombievampirebunnies]

oh my this is....Brillitant i love this

[pratchelicious]

cant decide which video is better but this is awesome

[mistermeekl12]

nice qualaty

[IamTheScorchedEarth]

i imagine billy watching this with the band and the director of the original video, then turning to him an saying:... you're fired....

[emeangel86]

wooou geat videooo

que buen videooo hermano smashing pupkins lo mejor

[FuIIMoonMadness]

Hated the original background, LOVED this one.

[FuIIMoonMadness]

Hated the original background, LOVED this one.

[drseungilius]

This is beast!!!  loved it

[jawbml]

And a well deserved 1st place!! Dude this video was awesome!! I LOVED it!! Great work man!

[juice1juice]

???? hmmm it seems like the video ends without the song ending.

[Bigmalletrs]

It does

[pulseforce]

@juice1juice You can find the full version of this fan video on Levi Ahmu's account. Link to the account is in this videos description.

[Chase578]

i like the 2nd place 1 better.

[screwston100]

wow badass... this guy needs to produce

[altrocker07]

better than the original

[cabezaconorejas]

mucho mejor que el original, es super intenso

[SkaterFippe4]

i prefer the 2nd place winner video, this one has too many special effects, it looks more like a video game

[CathodeRayNipplez]

COOL!

Well done Levi :)

[orbitaliko]

wooow ! esta mejor que la version original del video ... muy bueno

[williampatrickcorgan]

your video is awesome, better than the official version!

the song rocks either way

[heavydoombeje]

I don't like the 200 guitarists in the background_anyway the vid is really great

[masashake86]

you know whats the worst thing about this video? it ends.

[TheWhisperOaks]

Where's the rest of it?

[jatazoulja]

Way Better than the original!!! Bravo!!

[ChrisTheRockGod]

that is fucking excellent

[nobodyfamous27031]

when billy corgan says that he wants to be there when your happy HE MEANS IT

[fordieform]

video is very relevant to the song

-hero

[SuicidalJman]

DAMN this shit is nice

[alexfanx]

This fits the song more, lots of orange and moving fast.

[LordDanZor]

Dang thats well done! Good job.

[Murjoe16]

This is fan made? It's fucking immense. I still quite like the original though.

[YouDidntdoAnything]

holy shit this is good

[ElimRem]

why isnt this in HD? we need this in HD

[CoolRastaKieron]

Yep, I prefer this to the original too

[mxriderdude7]

this song rules

[Orangejuiced1969]

cut short but much better than the original, props

[Ruxie666]

forever better than the original

[19641924]

Almost sounds a little like Black Sabbath,

with Ozzy of course.

[therealdarkmaster]

Holy cow....way better than the original, even though it was cut down. Even so, it still had it's weak points, which were a few, and was better than the original music vid in my opinion.

[zwan94]

better than the original. 5 Stars!

[chinczyk0chinczyk]

better than the original

[database251]

Pretty fucking impressive. 5 stars!

[twiston123]

neat, but i like the original better

[MixPix]

WAY better than the original. Awesome work.

[aiultra]

better then the original )

[crossLIME]

i like this and the original:)

[brianprkr]

The only thing I don't get. . Is how did this person win without finishing the song? I have to agree. . don't get me wrong. . this is awesome, but the second place has more character and it actually finishes the song.

[psychodeathmonkey]

I saw the whole video its pretty amazing. This SP channel just cut it down.

[mimivanderglow]

Bravo Fan! SP Rocks!

[drendedrater]

sounds great full blast on my speakers :) Lol i can feel the floor shake.....

[piratesk8]

better than the original vid

[Falconpunch2]

@piratesk8 i wauldent put it any other way

[electrictape22]

great video! at 1:16 the drummer looks so bored lol

[greeenparka]

Way better than the original.

Awesome

[donnasRock323]

billys chrome dome will save us all

[WhenSeanAteTheWorld]

holy shit

[xjulierk]

AMAZING!!!

[FinalGamerAC]

Good but I prefered the second place video

[carsiotto]

yeah and ur ma is a dirty dog

[guteren]

this is freaking amazing!

[DavidBlues]

This is actually better than original video...CRAZY!

GIVE THIS GUY A JOB!

[zvx490]

WOOOOW!

[ptrick1013]

phoenominal

[solidboss2]

Still... Why isnt the video the length of the whole song...

[WoodRatGirl]

I would have involved a giant Tarantula attacking buildings in the video, but that's just me.

[mpmot]

and she fall with rocks from the sky?XD

[GagePerson]

That's the giant meteor's job

[mcd1302]

way better than the original video!

[wohral]

i agree :-D

[Ukatanana]

Smashing Pumpkins without D'arcy and James isn't the pumpkins at all. I wish Corgan would've swallowed his ego so they hadn't left. :-(

[switchfootdude224]

dude they only replaced two members so what they're still good the smashing pumpkins aren't the only ones who did that faith no more replaced pretty much all they're members (even they're singer)

[mpmot]

yeah look at The Exploited (ok i know its a Punk band),they changed every member in a bend except singer....and they stayed good!:)

[SilverFuck7]

The guns n roses too!!

[juliber91]

idk bout GNR coz duff and slash were a huge part of the group and i kno buckethead replaced slash for a while but slash's guitar style fits GNR better than buckethead, buckethead is better off alone like he is and look at velvet revolver with duff and slash and wit help from scott weiland they had success, it was short lived, but it was success. but to agree with i sitll think the new GNR is awesome =]

[iamyoyoyodude45]

they haven't really changed, people just haven't seen them in 7 years...

[Jmoney007007]

that shmowned the original video by a long shot

[ShimmySystem]

They should have had this guy be the director for the video.

[youdube01]

Wow!..this is better than the original..I agree! Great work!

[crossLIME]

this beats the original..

whoaa

[LOveTwiNz]

SP are always amazing!

Fuck those bitches who hate!

[thk5150]

this is a cool song except the vocals are TOO loud theyre squashoing everthing else

[trammart15]

COOL

[sk8s4MCR]

i really wish people would stop complaining about how the smashing pumpkins "changed". its the biggest load of shit ive ever heard.

[sibmaster93]

i know what you mean. To me, they are just as talented and amazing as they always were.

[bipolarclerk]

They sound the same.

Just wish Darcy was still with them, last I heard she was doing a radio show in Atlanta but that may be wrong. That is the only chance I can think of there still as a badass as ever.

[sibmaster93]

this is amazing !

just fantastic !

[laxfox620]

Fucking awesome video, great job.

[hanalyse]

AWESOME... I hope SP does this again... They have the BEST fans in the world, so of course the video was pwnful. :D

[Liam001100]

much more better than the original if u ask me....kudos to you

[Sticks654]

Wow, this is really well done, props to Levi Ahmu

[DailyPimpDotCom]

This fan did such a good job. I prefer this over the original video even.

[xjulierk]

I love this!! Better than the original. Wow. I wished they finished the video for the rest of the song!

[casamassa]

This vid is better than origional. This song sucks compared to their oldies though.

[the13green]

This band used to be so good.. so sad

[ancientmelodies]

Sorry that the band isn't making music that you enjoy anymore, perhaps you should email Billy Corgan and explain what you like and dislike in music so he can make a song that you enjoy. I'm sure he will be upset that he disappointed you.

[jtcfc]

HERE HERE

[hanalyse]

I laughed for 15 minutes. <3

[RearAssault]

so much better than the official vid :)

[RockOnMotherFxxker]

Wow! Awesome!

I love this better than the official vid.

I wanna watch this vid to the last...

[zacman50]

That was fucking awesome

[Adonisman121]

SO...MUCH BLOOM AND FLARES...AH!

[Hilum]

Bloom and flares are the best way to cover up crappy CG :)

[buckdiddy85]

very very dapper

[itsmandeebaby]

awesome.

[BlaagaMe]

Is that animation or is it real?

[jcrist]

it's real, they really set a city on fire and an asteroid came to earth.

[BlaagaMe]

nuh uh!

where?

[jcrist]

Mars...they flew to mars and blow up an alien city.

[BlaagaMe]

How can an asteriod "come to earth" on Mars?

I'm not dumb. i meant like what country.

[Skidzj]

Wow... That was the smartest comment I've ever read.

[BlaagaMe]

thanx dude.

[Skidzj]

Haha actually when i made the comment i was being sarcastic, but i just got what you meant so never mind.

[MusclecarsMeditation]

reminds me of "Das Wheel"

[MRTTVD]

this is much better than the original and it captures the feel of the song perfectly

[pattycakes0077]

scrap the old one and make this the official "official" video. Bravo, well done!

[cdharris12179]

AWESOME

[dkaroun]

the official is boring to watch compared to this

[YachiruCleon]

awesome

way better than the official

[LordNagaro]

I'm agree

[Georgie17xx]

This is better than the original, in the way of effects and timing and stuff like that (you know, the technical stuff) but the way the original was made (the idea behind it) would probably be better. I don't know anything about video dircting but I just think for the first video of the rebirth, the original is better. But, it was very simple, so whoever made this is awesome!

[BabboGuitarist10]

This is WAAAAYYYYYYY better than the original

[OriginalClankster]

this vid is nice, alot better than the official one, definately brings back that old Smashing Pumpkins vibe

[superyanou]

whooo...nice

[marshallthemiz]

shit, this is so much better than the official.  this brosephs vid should be changed to the official

[obsidiansands1]

A hell of a lot better then the "real" video- hire this cat immediately! lol.

[DeathBySeksy]

Awesome! but it didn't show billy shredding during the solo!

[Zwikster]

I was thinking the exact same thing. That asteriod should of have lighting boltz shooting out of it in-synch with the solo!! now THAT would of ROCKED!!! ohhh yaaaa!!

[ProfCrom12]

exactly how I wanted it to be

nice work

[14Bela]

just amazingO.O

[pumpkinzer0]

WOW (o_o) 6*s out of 5

amazing but wheres the rest of it???

[Hilum]

The rest is at the top of my youtube page :)

[KingDan18]

wicked.

[shankarnoble]

wow!

better than the ACTUAL video

[PolishDude1995]

ya i no

[Polishbojo]

Nice name. I'm sure whoever made this is makin big bucks as a director/music video editor.

[Hilum]

He wishes XD XD XD XD

[Polishbojo]

Did they even give out a cash prize for this?

[z6ch]

incredible!!!!!

[joe11121]

[anatopist]

[APimpNamedSlickback4]

[TheGreenPivot]

i prefer this to the original

[KenshinUrameshi]

[jadlerhalofan]

[miker20000]

I think the pumpkins should hire whoever made this.. This is awesome, and it compliments the song so well, giving it that kick it needed

[asublimefan]

waaaaaaaaaaaay better than the original.

[echomexico]

[0o0mangamad0o0]

[zerock2]

[digitaljetset]
