Smashing Pumpkins - Soma Live

[Tool19781]

Such a bad ass guitar solo!

[johnnymonjohnny10]

hey,you folks, ive got a 500 watt amp hooked up to my computer with klipsch speakers, its a whole different world ...! of sound ... SOMA AT 500 WATTS ...ROCK N ROLL!!!! JB

[johnnymonjohnny10]

thisversion of soma is really good  awsome! jb

[jumpinjoe88]

I love how well the contrast in this band works and is executed live.

[TheJasongrodsky]

Look how fucking perfect Jimmy Chamberlin is.... no wonder Billy Corgan never dared attempt to record his drum tracks for hm like Jimmy and D'arcy.

[rssbrry]

seeing this played live, along with seeing the pumpkins live in general, was one of the most incredible experiences in my life. this solo gets me every time.

[julianuknow]

a great guitar player.. trying getting his tone and even the riffs down for Cherub rock... he has some great style... every guitar play should look to create their own style... even billy will say he drew upon various sources but I still think he succeeded in creating their own sound. Should be the goal of any aspiring musician. To have your own sound.

[ammittei]

Angst at its finest

[Detonationsdetektor]

The very very best I ever hearded...

Thank you for uploading !

Greetings ffrom Germany...Wolf

[irinahristova1]

[blah3189]

beautifully shot

beautifully played

beautifully beautiful

[drunkensessions]

I disliked this shit. Like a boss

[Sueatlisboa]

@drunkensessions watch out, we're dealing with a badass over here...

[Tool19781]

@Sueatlisboa I have to say i'm hiding in my basement cuz i'm scared of what his mullet looks like.

[WarmothGuitarist]

@drunkensessions "Like a boss"

What an original catch phrase. I haven't heard that since it was worn out well over two years ago.

Good try though,,, Fag.

[drunkensessions]

@WarmothGuitarist Oh yea? So what's the latest catchphrase then, you homophobic cockmuncher?

[WarmothGuitarist]

@drunkensessions homophobic cockmuncher?

Oh man... You're a YouTube gangsta, throwing around oxymorons like that.

[roblh31]

The drugs these guys were on, I want. I want, I want. Caffeine is not doin it. 

[drunkensessions]

@roblh31 Corgan is a meth head. Made his hair fall out.

[DistortioNau]

wow just wow

[chriswood17]

Who is that lead singer with all the hair??

[Silverfucker]

6:13 yes my friend, wipe out those tears, you've just experienced the heavenliest moment of your life

[rolandocbf]

This video contains sexual content but let's not flag it.

[sethmoshe]

One of my favorite songs of all time. And that's saying a lot!

[zagor7683]

fantastico billy sei il migliore!!!

[NNnecknewwhore]

dos they mean thre pilo

[jasonpeng1]

regret never seeing these guys live in the 90s,

[ch00bee]

i used to fall asleep to this track from the siamese dream CD..... fuckin dreamy

then just as i was about to drift off to dreamland... i'd be woken up to the wailing solo hahah

[sorrel7]

@ch00bee me too! Every night... :)

[johnna14666]

end of the charade, NOW GET OUT OF HERE

[richardsuarez23]

Jimmy please come back.

[PapaSeeps]

IS ther like a DVD with this live performance?

[ax312altec]

@PapaSeeps Vieuphoria-

Highly recommend for any Pumpkins fan, or fan of behind the scenes band footage.

[PapaSeeps]

They are better Live here than in the newer ones cause the original band is here lol

[mercenaryman1190]

Lol the bumper sticker on Billy's guitar says "Honk if you hate people too."

[evemanson]

la canzone live più bella che abbia mai sentito!

[skinnybanana123]

This song is truly like bliss!

[svengali0924]

He is the absolute worst singer I have ever heard live.

[Mr061099]

@svengali0924 asshole

[SadPeterPan1977]

@svengali0924

I take it you don't watch the X-Factor then.

[jpeldred]

@svengali0924 couldnt agree more. still love the music, but live is rough.

[Ksapega]

awesome live!

[tattoofthesun]

I almost broke my neck headbanging to this in my room and when I drive to this album. If I was at the concert i'd have had a neckbrace!! haha that middle part hits too damn hard.... kinda like... when you take a pill, or two

[Gvk795]

What's the effect at 2:12?

[gilbertgodlyddd]

@Gvk795 Sounds like a tape echo that has a lot of distortion on the repeats- i.e one where the quality of each delay deteriorates with each repeat.

[lilianamolko]

haaa one of my favorites!

[jad3948]

one of history's greatest guitar solos, and one of the most underrated guitar players billy corgan

[bipedal103]

@jad3948 definitely greatest rock solo!

[SpazAttack1979]

so badass at the beginning with his knitted jumper

[rawkinrich]

I will die with the pumpkins. Let's hope its not just yet :)

[MrPhilosopher17]

Great fucking performance!

Beautiful song, Billy Corgan is a good lyricist.

[TroyisNoob]

one of the best songs i've ever heard in my life.

[GAdawgsfan93]

There are no more singers out there today that write such deep emotional lyrics for songs. Most song lyrics today are just repeats of the same exact theme. Look at Taylor Swift. She's written about 500 fucking songs that sound exactly the same.

[ExplicitThings]

@GAdawgsfan93 i know >:(

[nicholsjoshua15]

While I like Siamese Dream I think Vieuphoria and Earphoria have the better versions of the Siamese Dream songs on it. Butch Vig's Pop Rock production of Siamese Dream a (Hard Rock Album) drowned out a lot of emotion.

[NiggadickJaxHD]

The Ownage begins at 3:40

[65neu]

@NiggadickJaxHD hahahah!!! funny!

[ridley102]

@NiggadickJaxHD Please, the ownage began at 0:00

[MarkieB89]

@NiggadickJaxHD ownage? lol

[SmashingPumpkins888]

2:28! this performance is so awesome that Billy had to invent a time machine so he could relive it!

[ithacasteveo]

God sleeps in bliss....

[RhysThomasEvans]

my very fav song of theirs. I love when picks up tempo half way through.

[GreenThisBitch]

Siamease dream bitches!!!!

[dazedandawake]

4:31 right there, UGH

[alguienPLC]

LOL

[Churer91]

that was amazing!

[juanpedrotenerife]

grande billy corgan y su banda

[imissthe90s1]

fullscreen, max volume, lights out, that was so fucking good

[SpazAttack1979]

why is D'arcy so pretty and talented?

[Grungeguy27]

@SpazAttack1979 ha not anymore :p

[jumparound49]

Well Nirvana was great, and I respect them along with Alice in Chains and PJ for grunge (my favorite genre). But the Pumpkins... they were something else. Its like four people came together and decided to mix all the best music in the world together, and from that came the smashing pumpkins. They will forever be a bit higher up than any band of the 90s...

[Vampiriclover86]

I have some AWESOME memories with this song :D

[savoirjoker]

On his guitar it says 'Honk if you hate people too' :p

[ComplexdNipples]

LETS NOT BE SOBER !

[Jept]

@ComplexdNipples Why can't we not be sober? ;0] 

[DrFrylock]

@Jept being sober doesnt cut it unless ur at work haha

[Drunksonic]

I got a seizure from the part with the guitar solo, SP FOREVER.

[ToxicMayo9]

Ahhh before Billy went crazy...

[Ozone3789]

a love relationship is almost the same as opium: it slowly puts you to sleep, it soothes you, and gives you the illusion of sureness and security.

[adeptdvlpmnts]

Thanks for posting!

Its not too often you come across those songs that are so special but dont get the credit it deserves.

[stereosanctity7]

I never knew billy played the solo on that....best song ever!

[Loctorpse]

@stereosanctity7 Billy played almost everything including the bass parts on albums. Almost every guitar you hear on a Pumpkins record is Billy. There are very few (almost no) exceptions.

[norcoatomik]

i want to borrow future billys time machine

[yinucsd]

the reverse echoplex. i forgot that effect even existed. anyone know of other songs that use that?

[imissthe90s1]

@yinucsd a lot of john frusiante's solo work uses that

[DGENERATE07]

@imissthe90s1 my two heroes

[theindianguy94]

wow, what a performance

[Greyifrit]

music today sucks shit. compared to this.

[klikoboef69]

The best!!!!

Qne off my all time favourites

[MegaRem78]

[Dontwealldigmusic]

Love that effect he uses in the beginning of the second verse. Sooo good! anybody know what that is?

[skidrow09]

[RIJ919]

So let the sadness come again! di dow di dow di dadada doo

[starlachris]

I'm all by myself..as I've always felt...I'll betray my tears to anyone...♥♥♥♥♥

One last kiss goodniiiight......

[bonzettobonobo]

thanks from Italy

[MaxTacitus]

My girlfriend loves these guys...seriously loves them. she wont let me talk when she's watching the live dvd i get sent into another room....this video though...blew her mind. she wants to know where the real music went. not this shit like justin bieber and taio cruze. these guys defined the 90s along with Nirvana....but serious....all music is about these days is sex, drugs, cheating on your boyfriend or girlfriend...lying and just plain shit

[zaqmjy627]

@MaxTacitus

you have an awesome girlfriend man! pearl jam rocks too

[iLikeBillyCorgansBum]

@zaqmjy627 yeah, i am awesome. :D I love the pumpkins and alot of old school stuff..better than todays shit. haha. i love this video...at least billy can sing...whereas the likes of my chemical romance...the singer cant sing to save himself. whats happened to music? seriously?

[LewisTaylorRules08]

@MaxTacitus Yeah, I'm only 13 so I can't escape that shit...

[Raskvidh]

Well. there are som great bands today also.

[MeYouDisgust]

@Raskvidh Really??? name one, i NEED to know

[Raskvidh]

@MeYouDisgust You've got Asteriods Galaxy Tour, royksopp, snoop dogg, sondre lerche, the cardigans, mew, and blur is still amazing. ask @dystopicc, i think he's got your kind of music taste.

[jsr1k]

@Raskvidh Not enough, you obviously didn't grow up in the 90's

[TheMetz05]

Best Smashing Pumpkins song just listen from start to finsh it is great. Fuck u if u listen to the shit music that is played today. It will never compete with this era of music long live Smashing Pumpkins.

[pashaincubus]

metallica is still a legend for me

just like smashing pumpkins

im sad to see shitty band tosay

who can only sream

kinda sad the last time i saw them live they kinda suck

[pashaincubus]

metallica is still a legend for me

just like smashing pumpkins

im sad to see shitty band tosay

who can only sream

[CharvelDude94]

That solo... so much energy and emotion. Corgan is a genius.

[dude1305]

@CharvelDude94 Was a genius. Is now insane (or close to it).

[superflymutha]

That's Gen X right there, my generation and my god do we rock.

There a few bands that move me as the SP do, through the use of melodies, hard guitars and those god damn beautiful lyrics.

[computron808]

@superflymutha Very well said !!! And well put!!!

[roelran]

@superflymutha my god you do rock

[phucket01]

well said my friend and that's that last of a generation that meant something

[LetsGoMetsGo33]

i eventually became embarassed of these guys, but they were awesome throughout gish/siamese/pisces/sadness. this is my favorite tune by them, great performance here. emo (altho i never heard them called that) b4 the term became meaningless.

[tomydenancy]

What is the effect used at 2:12 Please ?

[leitmotivlegroupe]

@tomydenancy Maybe Delay + Phaser/Flanger ;)

[Jeremy95]

Thank You : )

[Unterweger17]

@Jeremy95 just great!!!!!!!

[inlimbopop]

The best live clip on youtube. FACT

[inlimbopop]

Nothing to say. 

[timrocket2]

[LLP81]

What a solo!

[1NTERFERENCE]

the guitar solo at "So let the sadness come again" gives me goosebumps every fucking time

[dariorubenca2006]

SIN PALABRAS

[gramoukdoom]

beautiful

[Slashandcarry]

What happened to the Corgan we know and love? He looks like Ming The Merciless now.

[chrisput1024]

Great Smashing Pumpkins song.

[PHALANX100BC]

James Iha.. all the waaaayyyy......its HIS song fuckers...

[TheSPumpkin100]

@PHALANX100BC He wrote, like two lines of it. it's defo more Billy's song.

[65neu]

@PHALANX100BC FAIL. Sorry. Billy wrote this song. James wrote some of the acoustic intro to Mayonaisse. DO YOU REALLY THING James Iha wrote Soma? hahah.

[smashingpumpkins311]

@PHALANX100BC Dont get it twisted..Billy Corgan is THE SMASHING PUMPKINS FUCKER..your a complete retard to even put "James Iha all the way" hes a good musician but don't you ever compare him to billy..

[Morganfrench01]

@smashingpumpkins311 Hehe. 'tis true.

[skyehyful]

looooove smashing pumpkins!!!!!!

[jribas93]

why arent there more musicians like these in our world?

[ryeman2007]

[SoniaVal]

Sin palabras me quedo, esto es un temazo de cabo a rabo.

Smashing Pumpkins forever

[norcoatomik]

@staindinsideyourlove future billy obviously does, look for him in the audience

[NicktheBarber31]

d'arcy looks like an angel

[visigoth33]

I would still be rocking out to this song when i am 80 yrs old

[DOWSER68]

jimmy is a rogue :p

[puttingoffstars]

Can't wait to see SP again! It's been waywayway too long.

[ryeman2007]

[robohumby15]

this song is so friggin' goosebumpy! i always pop them at the beginning!

[jsr1k]

Fucking beautiful, really grateful to have grown up in early nineties, there was some great music around.

[imgordonfreeman]

90s= best era

[MeYouDisgust]

@imgordonfreeman yep, Nirvana, smashing pumkins, and even the foo fighters were good in the 90s

[imgordonfreeman]

@MeYouDisgust yea man not to mention soundgarden alice in chain pearl jam pixies love the 90s!

[IamTheScorchedEarth]

i can sum this song in one sentence: she is a needle, he is a junkie....

[ablackzwan]

@staindinsideyourlove oh wish i get one. the best pumpkins' era

[jumparound49]

[reinsdorfsucks3]

[hmattar]

I woudl have to be 15 yrs old today

[Mettal4]

What is that effect at 2:14? Does Anyone Know?

[otishaywater]

@Mettal4 i think it may be some sort of space echo...im not to sure though.

[EbolaSandwich]

solo @ 4:32 = Tasty

great Song.

[ronnyim12345]

oh man the pumpkins before they became world famous. look at them.....on the verge of their peak....this is the epitome of the 90's underground rock scene.

[71LCC]

such a great band..

[dopebozoish]

that's how it's done. that's how you rock. rock stars of modern times need to take notes on this.

[leamericanos]

good stuff I want 90's back , Fck computers , the internet , smart cellphones , flat tv , iphone, I want the 90's

[strscrm]

for me this is the definitive pumpkins song

[sidchimaera]

what the hell happened to music...

[andrewmedl]

@sidchimaera Young people own the world now. We're in commercials, not making extremely urgent, emotional music. Doesn't mean music is bad now.

[sidchimaera]

@andrewmedl I'm not sure what any of that is supposed to mean, but I did LoL.

[FrxBass]

@sidchimaera

I think he meant to say that right now the music industry is owned by big labels that totally morph young talents into what they want. But actually, if you do it that way you don't let these people express themselves which makes the song soul-less BUT usually gets popular by brainwashing younger people with telecommunications, $ again. AT LEAST there are some bands out there that are still good. I think that's what he meant. ahah

[sidchimaera]

@FrxBass In that case I agree with him ;-)

[Klawz76]

@sidchimaera Bieber, i Tunes, Miley... Usher... Sad. So sad.

[andymanberge]

@sidchimaera

I agree. What the fuck.
