  • i couldn´t agree more! this is the best fucking love song ever written! 

  • One of the better live recordings of this epic. The ebow helps send it through the stratosphere and beyond.

  • Man how I miss these guys.. (and their era...) The new make-up is just not the same :'(

  • Isn't the thing James is using like a lazer that vibrates the string to get that awesome effect?

  • @MrSadistico its an e-bow, means you can sustain a note indefinitely as its like a violin bow for the electric guitar. have to say i always thought they were magnetic though, but thats probably just my ignorance of them.... so ill stand corrected if its not.

  • Powerful!

  • Melissa Auf Der Maur shines so much more here than she ever did in hole. D'arcy was f-awesome, but you cant beat auf der maur's energy or tone.

  • i like that his voice sounds like it's a bit off key for some reason

  • james in nailing the fucking e bow solo and billy's just playing right over it.

    you could tell these guys could not stand to be with each other by this point.

  • @tdkcdrom i think that the ebow solo isn't meant to be the main focus. it's part of the ambiance of the song, and it's still very prevalent in the mix here as well as the mix on the record.

  • Comment removed

  • @evilwatchme yeah that's fair enough, i just think generally these guys weren't the best of buddies by this point, but i'm bias cos i've always been a massive james and d'arcy fan, i just can't listen to the pumpkins new stuff.

  • @tdkcdrom yeah i don't know what the fuck he was thinking with the album with "tarantula" definitely not the best.

  • @tdkcdrom

    Blame the sound guys, not Billy. His levels are too high in this song. The bootleg of 'There is no God' from their Machina tour is the opposite. James' levels were higher in that recording due to poor sound checking.

  • Epic can't even begin to describe this

  • cerebral-y, spacey lovesong only these guys only go

  • where could you buy and e-bow and how much does it cost

  • all good guitar shops, about 80 pounds

  • u can find it online or at a guitar store. only one company makes them currently although im sure in the coming years more companies will. there are ways to make your own, and you can use the bow of a violine or cello to simulate an e bow but the buy a real EBOW u have to buy it from a particular seller. they cost 100+ dollars but if youre really gonna use it then its worth it

  • on ebay about 80-100$

  • anyone know the model guitar corgan is using?

  • 1972 Gibson ES-335

  • whats that awesome gadget iha is usin on his strings?

  • It's called an e-bow. It's held in the hand and a battery driven magnet turns off and on very fast.  This makes the string underneath it vibrate on a constant basis and gives it that violin like sustain you hear. They are about USD100 in europe.

  • Mis preferidos Smashing!!!!! Cuando vinieron a Mexico por nada del mundo me los perdi!!! Billy es estupendo en vivo!!!! Por eso Smashing Pumpkins nunca moriran!!!!!!

  • Nunca.

  • I'm not a massive fan of these guys - I enjoy their 90s albums generally - but this is like the best fucking love song ever written. shit, what a song and a half.

  • @cursestar listen to their other stuff you'll like it 100%

  • Man Just shut the fuck up you might have hearing problems.....did your daddy raped you in your ears??

  • I thought that was actually quite funny

  • Shut up, you need bass in songs.

    Stupid bitch, you can hear the guitar fine.

  • this is one of those songs where you just stand in awe and you dont move. you cant like jump in circles and headbang. if i was at the show id be doing the same thing as the crowd, just watching and enjoying. go watch the cherub rock video from this same misque plus show and you'll see the crowd gets into it.

  • master of masters: Billy Corgan!!!

  • crowd seems dead

  • qwertyfuck1....u need to fuckin die in the worst case possible....u are a worthless piece of shit that is just a waste of life and space...dont hate on the greatest band ever cause YOU are jealous that u will nvr have the success that they have....

  • but it makes me feel like a badass and cool cmon mate

  • youre a fuckin loser mate

  • amazing!

  • beautiful song

    love to sing it for my girl

    thanks billy

  • Wow! Finally I found a good live performance of this song. All the other live versions were shitty. This one kicks ass!

    This song is so awesome!!

  • No other band can play live like Smashing.. they are true mus

  • Masters

  • Very good mr. Corgan!!! you are the best!!!!!

  • melissa is the best!XD

  • My wife plays a mean Bass!!!!!

  • oh my god, i saw myself in the crowd!!! CRAZY! already 7 years ago, well its a lucky number : happy to see the pumpkins back in montreal this year!!!

  • u guys seemed really dead. Geez it is a total awkard silence in there

  • The E-bow creates a regular magnetic field that vibrates the string. The built-in device Aubrey mentioned is called a sustainer, made by a company called Fernandes. It comes standard in most of thier guitars, and you can buy a kit for retrofitting in your guitar, but you'll have to replace a pickup. It does the same thing as an e-bow, but with a couple cool options, like a harmonic fifth mode and volume control.

  • its an e-bow, an electronic bow.

  • what is james holding in hes hand? the white block thing.

  • It is an E-Bow which emits an electromagnetic feild and sort of warms the string by vibration. I think you can get one that actually attatches to a guitar at the top of the neck, and it is called a sustaniac or something. I think matt bellamy has something like it built in, and in theory it should give you unlimited sustain- 'look what I can do with one hand tied behind my back!' :)

  • the camera angles sucked and was too jarring, other than that the music was nice.

  • Yup, great, James missed it, so sad, I hate when Billy plays over James' solo... >_< Anyway, great...

  • I just love Billy and this song and the pumpkins

  • Jimmys drumming is awesome ;)

  • dont think james missed it, i think billy just played over james solo, which he always did =/

  • Billy is still a legend regardless of what era we listen to him in!!

  • I don't care too much for the verse as much, but the chorus is honestly one of the best choruses I'v ever heard. It just makes you think you can do anything you want to and makes you happy.

  • poca madre!!!!

  • i love the words to this song. and this is one of the most beutiful love songs ever written. everything about it is excellent, billy's voice, his guitar, the drums are dead precise, bass line is fantastic and james as good as ever.

  • *i meant Vieuphoria...and to be more specific i think it was the Lost 1994 tapes on Silverfuck, but i can't remember

  • *i meant Vieuphoria...and to be more specific i think it was the Lost 1994 tapes on Silverfuck, but i can't remember

  • James playing around with his guitar like that reminds me of him and that toy gun on Viephoria....anyone else remember that?

  • awesomeee!!

  • jawesome

  • truperhun you speak the truth. Can't wait for them to get back on tour. *hopes and hopes*

  • one of the most beautiful love song ever...hope to see them live once...
