[blunderbuss]

[fernanda25br]

Sabia que era brasileira, hahaha soltou um "caralho" no início... Que inveeeeejaaaa!

[FMRees]

hahahaha.... eeee maluquice!

[juniper137]

You're one lucky kid...looks like a great venue!

Thanks so much for uploading!!

[FMRees]

Thank you for the comment and your words!

It was magical

[checarlos]

I love smashing pumpkins, but without James Iha, it´s only the half of smahing pumpkins.

I miss D'Arcy Wretzky too. But at least the pumpkins are back, maybe someday the original ones will return.

[FMRees]

"The Smashing Pumpkins" is a registered company owned mainly by Billy Corgan and a small part by James Chamberlin. D'arcy and James were contracted artists, just like Melissa auf der Maur. So... The Smashing Pumpkins are completely back.

[checarlos]

Yeah i know Billy owns and writes all the songs, but i still miss a lot James and Darcy, i still remember james rols on videos, like in 1979, in that 7/11, lol. I hope to see at least Jimmy and Billy, for once in my life. The pumpkins rules, even with the half of them. lol. Thanx for the video.

[FMRees]

I agree - thanks for your comment mate.

[graphyphoto]

down there up front, check out my vid and yall kno where i was ;D

[FMRees]

That's cool.

[graphyphoto]

hey, i was there 2!!! up front 2nd row, center ;D

[FMRees]

How cool, were you in Mezzanine also or down there?

[GoldenFlea]

haha, sounds like somebody should've been cut off from the alcohol.

[FMRees]

hahahahaha... a bit!

[Dmoney1544]

someone should have punched that guy in the face, he never shut the hell up

[FMRees]

Why that "someone" wasnt you? hehehe

[Floskeknosk]

Actually pretty funny that the set included "Hummer". In my opinion their greatest song ever, with "Rocket". And "Quiet".

[FMRees]

Yes, it was a very cool set. I was surprised with Anniedog in the end.

[papasalahuancaina]

You should shoot your friend.

I hate it when people sing when you just want to hear the band.

[FMRees]

We were all too happy to worry about who was next to us, you know - another dimension!

Everyone was singing, or screamming, or clapping, or cheering... whatever... it was the "greatest day".

[papasalahuancaina]

Oh plz don't tell me that, I actually was supposed to go see them this monday to the Pinkpop festival, but I fell horribly sick, I just couldn't make the 6 hour travel to go and see them.. I just spend the day laying in my bed.. I still have the ticket in my hand... and I'm still feeling really bad about it...

[gabrielgjs]

cantando, quero dizer

[FMRees]

Legal, né?

[musicfan99999]

holy fucking shit!!! i can't believe this, i wasn't even looking for these vids and didn't know they had played live yet.. and i'm a huge pumpkins fan. whoo! they sound good, much to my surprise AND DELIGHT! :) but i still don't know who is in the band!

[rpeniuk]

Awesome job on the video, what a performance!!!

[taifaz]

cool singing hahahaha

great vid!

[Deltidsharmonisk]

shit, i got the chills seeing this.

[Charlie88888]

excelent video - so much energy in there! hope to seem them soon here in the US

[crocante]

i wasn't there

[FMRees]

By the way - I guess we know why Billy decided to start again in Europe and not in the US.

[musicfan99999]

because nobody in this goddamn country (the US) wants to listen to good music. they're more excited about fall out boy and evanescence than the pumpkins.

[FMRees]

Hello everyone.

We just wanted to let you know that we do not care about what you think of the video or the singing or blah blah blah.

We could have kept the videos for ourselves, just like we planned, but we decided to share our experience with you.

Thanks for all the cool messages that we received for sharing our experiences with you all, and sorry for those who were not there and couldn't feel the emotion!

[Galuschka]

The videos are great, don't listen to those idiots!

I am gonna see them in two weeks, im so excited :D

Thank you very much for the videos!!

[MacGeeek]

I think he would despise someone who spread so much hate, such as yourself.

[davyh2503]

great performance! they sing in english so why comment in french? the singing is poor but hey it's a bootleg video so why shouldn't there be singing? no need for the racist hatred on here we're all pumpkins appreciaters lets all bask in the communal enjoyment today being played for the first time in 7+ years

[turorock]

lindo, maravilhoso!

[TylerSpook]

Ps: ma femme est sublime aussi, ainsi que mon fils ...

Désolé je ne m'abaisserais pas t'insulter ni a te rencontrer, je ne voudrais pas t'abimer..

[TylerSpook]

[TylerSpook]

[TylerSpook]

Just to say stop saying they're french cause they're not ..

[TylerSpook]

[davidHasselhoff]

Wow,I never realised Smashing Pumpkins fans weren't much brighter than Limp Bizkit fans but thanks to these comments I realise that now.I'm sure Billy would love to have some of you guys at his concerts so you can just stand there and be quiet.

[RagDollCandy]

PUMPKINSSSSSSSSSSSS!

[japocalypse]

lol, you're the most aggresive sp-fan i know.

[scy2200j]

Does it sound a little rushed to anyone? I believe it was significantly slower on the CD

[reallyocean]

It's also tuned down a half step during this performance, and just about every performance after 1996.

[somagirl33]

ditto to that. fuck...

[LinuxRex2]

Damn these guys still exist?

[xtoxicxremedyx]

Can't wait to see them in Baltimore!!!

[TylerSpook]

DumberDolls ... a problem with French people ? Can i remember u that the Capitol of perfume is in France at Grasse ??

BTW it was an american girl who sang so bad cause i was there next to the person who took this video .. And she's a big fan, she wants to sing, she sings .. that's all .. French are not intolerant .. Dont 'be jealous than Billy decided to make the come back in France .. He loves us, and we know why !! Regards ..

[davyh2503]

why dont you sad bastards get off youtube and go to gigs and see if you can stop yourself singing along to some of the best songs ever written. if you don't like it listen to the records or buy the live dvds

[Sillycyberfunguy]

The new album is really bad. Oh well.

[Dumberdolls]

This was supposed to be on one of Foetus' comments...

[Dumberdolls]

French people smell bad.

[lolo2759]

On t'emmerde! We fuck you!

[raulaguiarnv]

caralho, tem que existir um brasileiro.

[GalindoMX]

Today is the greatest and cobainkid is right they're happy and I'm happy too that the songs are being sung again. If I was there I would sing and out of key too!Smashing Pumpkins rule.

[TwistedSICness]

i understand everyone is quite excited and simaltaneously vehement on the humble return, but just seeing the re-fueled/inspired performance is enough to satisfy,

ohhh, the "frogs", they didn't ruin the clip, you superficial tools, their enjoying themselves,

give it a rest you-tube warriors, haha

ooo, and by the way, matter of opinion can be expressed, don't be narrowed minded and leave pugnacsious shit we can't help but read and abate our enjoyment,

haha, whatever

[reallyocean]

You told us that we could express our opinions, but right after told us how to form our opinions.

.............

[davidHasselhoff]

I would wee myself silly if I was at that.

[natdalle]

na hora que acendem as luzes

"uhaaaaaaa, caralho!"

hahahha

show foda *-*

[cobainkid]

it doesn't matter if people were singing out of key... they are happy, and that's beautiful.

[DaDudeAbides]

I only wish I was there and that girls voice was mine

THEY'RE BACCCCKKK

TARANTULA IS A HIT SINGLE

[xAlchemistressx]

...

mkay, why the hell is everyone so pissed at each other? Just enjoy the fact that the Pumpkins are back, damnit! Le grand rex just so happened to be the first show, lucky, but...does it really, really matter?

I don't fucking care, honestly.

[starla91]

C'mon, stop it and damn, enjoy the music. I could say you should be happy we discovered the place where you live or most of the things you daily need, but I won't ghgh...fuck, enjoy the music, Pumpkins are back!! If you want shout at the girl who sings out of tune (God bless her :P), but fuck all these senseless replies! kisses

[GoatBoy777]

ahahahahaha I dont know how you do it, but you actually type with a french accent! Your muv'er iz ah 'amster and your fav'er smells of elderberrys.

[inertman]

Erm, the only people to have actually heard this in the concert would've been the people themselves and maybe the people next to them, I hardly think that they overpowered the band for the rest of the audience

[chas88]

"Erm"..obviously...they ruined the video, not the whole concert. I love your irony, it's really impressive.

[inertman]

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I believe you just said "someone should've kicked those idiots out". If they didn't ruin the concert, kicked out of what exactly? The VIDEO THAT THEY RECORDED? The video that THEY UPLOADED?

[chas88]

seriously, I doubt anyone really cares. nobody else attacked me for posting that comment. you could've picked on any of the countless other comments that said almost the same thing.

so, I'd like if we could end this rather childish argument and grow up a bit; I'm sure we both have more pressing issues with which to occupy ourselves.

[GoatBoy777]

Hmmmmmmm. It's not like a French person to be a coward ;) Ok, Im going to have to insult you now.......You and your frog eating, dog fucking, garbage eating, garlic breath'd race would be speaking german now and listening to classical music ALL DAY instead of smashing pumpking's because we rescued your passive surrender monkey asses in WW2, now think about that, because in reality that's EXACTLY what you would be doing.

[MomSaysImCool]

Now see here. I'm a French Canadian, and damn pround. I know french people, they're my friends. And NEVER say "if we didn't in WW2..." unless you are and actual veteran, otherwise you and your entire generation did nothing. In many ways the French are smarter than Americans and Canadians (including myself). So no French beating 'cause your jealous of the tour!

[GoatBoy777]

Why do people insult other people over stuff like this on the internet. I wouldn't mind if you had the chance to say in face to face, but to do it over the faceless internet is cowardly. grow up and enjoy the music.

[joeneschumi]

tho solo at the end is about the best I've EVER heard

[Ebrklyn]

It's hard do describe the emotion in the room when the intro to Today started up, and then the wall of guitar sound broke like a wave over this small movie theater of a venue I'm surprised more people weren't singing. I f'in was. Say what you want but Billy Corgan is back in the business of making guitar rock, and his band, original or not, is totally up to the task. For those of you seeing them this summer, you're in for a hell of a show.

[starla91]

Hahahaha, che rosiconi!!!!!! XD

[brokendrum123]

was any1 there? what was the new material like? good?

[xstorybooklove]

looked like a great time was had by all!

[drsaamah]

okay nobody refuted my actual point.

BUT, i rescind my comment. (Im still a little sad that they didnt debut in the City by the Lake...)

Pumpkins love. There's enough hate in the world.

Sorry for offending anyone.

Peace.

[davyh2503]

drsaamah you need to lighten up, 99% of people who go to concerts don't go to sit there in silence or stand still watching the band through their camera, get a life! great vid btw! can;t wait for leeds

[starla91]

Right what I meant to say ;)

[starla91]

Plus, it's not easy to sing well during a concert, coz you can't hear yourself. Have you ever been to a concert? If you did, you know what I mean. Kisses

[starla91]

Guys, I'll be at their gig in Venice on June the 16th, and I'll sing out sooo loud!!! You cannot blame those guys for singing, coz I think it's the most normal thing you'd have felt to do if you had been there too. Can't wait for that day to come!! XD

[bjthepumpkinguy]

he's in white jean paul gaultier dress again.. zeitgeist is machina 3!

[werideatdusk]

[lookylad]

ILS RENDRENTS!!

[milantenas]

[bassman462]

[yearsago]

Nice. Electric for Today NICE. Pianos gone.

[Smashlites]

We can't blame you for singing...who wouldn't?

[FMRees]

we were all crazy... im sorry!

[farias1979]

don't be sorry man, i would have been even worse!

i envy you... can't wait for Sept 8 and 9!

[Dasuitekilla]
