@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.
@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.
@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.
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.
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
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!!!!!!
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.
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.
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....
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.
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!' :)
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.
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 couldn´t agree more! this is the best fucking love song ever written!

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.
