Smashing Pumpkins - Ava Adore live TV BBC

[singularxxx]

One more example of why a bass needs more than a DI. Why do engineers hate bass players?!

[Crankyhappy13]

The drummer actually looks somewhat like Jimmy... Obviously he's bald and wears glasses but still.

[yesnoyesno52]

bass sound 0.28 YEAH!

[PuReNiRvANA1]

Jimmy is so fuckin sick that they needed two drummers to attempt to replace him

[Avvethegreat]

0:16 You gotta love the sound of those snare beats.

[ripp1877]

The drummer is nasty.. check him out on livefromdaryls house. he drums to Kevin Rudolfs Let it Rock..

[NateRiver53]

amo los pómulos de billy

[karupisuhage]

最高だベース

[KurdtKobain09]

Do Smashing Pumpkins have two drummers like Melvins? Or..is this just for ava adore? Or what? Someone explain?

[Ritchieeeeeeeee]

@KurdtKobain09 Before they made Adore, they fired jimmy because he was a heroin addict and yeah. So they obviously needed live precussion so they hired a whole bunch of people

[BLACKSYNTH]

IS that a BADCAT amp in that little rack mount to the left of billy's Marshall? I can see the light up logo. ....? but its hard to make out..

[schism206]

what a shitty applause response to an awesome performance.

[youmomhowdo]

@1:10 - I want to be that mike.

[angelote140]

no maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

excelente version

no maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[TheJrlayno]

[DasKarla]

WE MUST NEVER BE APART!!!!

[bettyboopdenormandie]

very best song, very best singer, i want you back, come on billy, billy i miss you

[LekaStar01]

I miss you, "SmashingPumpkinsFan" ..

[111thRutlandReapers]

Hey! He's just as creepy live! Just how i like him

[quaecky]

remember this being released, remember this performance, amazing!

[nineinchpinktool]

Haha, Neo called, he wants his jacket back.

[GRSuperChris]

@nineinchpinktool This was a year before The Matrix.

[Karadiel]

nice version

[bigstereo]

@slishslash94 Yes, it's Darcy. She was involved with the recording of Adore and the subsequent tour. She didn't leave the band until during the recording of Machina.

[bdfilms01]

and they needed two drummers why?

[kudelbudel]

I love what he does to songs live.. Adore is an amazing album

[youmomhowdo]

I get such chills watching old Billy Corgan performances.

[backassshoes]

Jimmy looks like a scuba diver

[LemmyK00pa]

@backassshoes not jimmy, he was out of the band in 1998

[deathwentbowling]

lol so at 1:10 he gets some spit on the mike, looks funny

[gonzasabbath]

Such a great song by you-know-who.

[qucise]

VACCA ! grande billy

[dcg84]

A singing dick head...., LOL

[O2251975]

wOIOOooOOoOO oH Jimmy we miss you sooOoOO much!

[So1idsnake92]

iha solo niceeeee

[crazydrummer99999]

good song...

[RipperXpop]

1:10 LOL

[kotessss]

double drums! why?

[SiameseDream4321]

@kotessss cause you need two to fill up Jimmy's place

[Superdustmite]

I think Adore had Billy's best vocals...

[SchwarzesCeil]

Do prefer the album version, but this is a sick performance too.

[NicktheBarber31]

d'arcy is so gorgeous it hurts

[bulletisaninja]

When he sang "In you I feel so pretty," my ears had a violent orgasm. It's so rough and gravelly and oh so very pretty.

[lothargroth]

We Must Never Be Apart D'arcy!

[Khazanah]

Wow, we got two Voldy, it's Kenny and Billy. :p

[tornmask]

oooh i like this! =o)

[Khazanah]

@Collosnick wow, that was a year ago that I post that. :p

[LeighaTheRocker]

why does billy sound better live??? not that im complaining, because he kicks mega ass. love this song.

[hskh1810]

darcy ist so geil!!!!!!!

[missrockett]

I mean, D'arcy, Jimmy, & James were amazing, don't get me wrong... but Billy IS the smashing pumpkins. Together, they were an amazing and perfect group, but out of all of them, the only one that can stand alone and still be just as amazing is Billy.

His looks obviously don't hurt either. ;]

[Piggo184]

If u wanna hear a new band influenced by these guys, type in tolver - safekeep :)

[flycreeper]

Chamberlain may be missing... but what a corking line up this was for doing big, intricate arrangements of Pumpkins hits. 

[HM3Giggles79]

Love this!! Sooooo miss James, D'arcy and even Jimmy...I miss old school SP...but I love Billy!!! The new stuff is great too!!

[JONZEF]

too bad the break of one of the world biggest band, but, smashings always

no one band like them

[UrbaDerpal]

1:08 Dat spit

[DJZANUDA]

i love you guys

[arrokito]

una de mis mejores bandas de todos los 90 sin lugar a dudas los smashing pumpkins yeah baby!!

[preshtime]

@arrokito you got that right Amigo!

[SEproductions22]

wow great performance. billy corgan does sound the same on CD. hes a boss

[TheCocohotmoco]

billy is the only person ive seen who looks beautiful with a shaved head

[Mcpanicfanic]

billy in makeup??? no!!!!!!!!!!!!

[umumgot]

james on lead guitar not bad !

[partyongarth420]

kurt cobain09@ ive heard a lot of singers that sound exactly the same as there cds....

he sounds really good live but... i can hear some notes he hitrs that he loses. ... it happens... he did good..

[M011iY]

ava adore is strange and evil! like girls r

[artfanatsymanic]

@secorneli You're probably right. I just got ava adore and I also listen to a lot of modern music. From what I can tell, what a lot of what bands in the mid-2000s did is really very similar to the style of Ava Adore. I am not saying though that they did better or worse than the Pumpkins just that the style is similar.

[KurdtKobain09]

He's the first singer I know that sounds exactly the same live and on the cd.

[kafkakinder]

Maybe Beth Gibbons.

[KurdtKobain09]

What?

[247randomshit]

@KurdtKobain09 he dosn't

[MonkeySo6]

@KurdtKobain09 True

[snow27white]

@KurdtKobain09 Thats what i thought too. he's soooo good

[rpsmith014]

@KurdtKobain09 matt bellamy

[ncwrrn2009]

@KurdtKobain09

so true

[oasisforever00]

@KurdtKobain09 Check out Richard Ashcroft.

[gizmo359c]

@KurdtKobain09 what about the beatles?

[bondosho]

@KurdtKobain09 yeah, it's genuine talent.

[puertatankerai]

her voice is special, but i want the old pumpkins

[puertatankerai]

her voice is special, but i prefer the old pumpkins

[Chesenips980]

@KurdtKobain09 Maynard from Tool does too.

[247randomshit]

@KurdtKobain09 lol well im sorry but he dosn't.

[YargDisease]

@KurdtKobain09 Kurt Cobain does too. Between say Nevermind and Muddy banks. 

[IndonesianRadiohead]

@KurdtKobain09

i pull your crooked teeth...you and your mom would be perfect just like..meeeeeeee..!!!

[awakenlilrabbit]

@KurdtKobain09 eddie vedder comes close

[MalSalmo]

@KurdtKobain09

Foo Fighters :)

[killingspeedrun]

@KurdtKobain09 check out Marcus Mumford from Mumford & Sons...

[occhioallallocco]

@KurdtKobain09 I know another 30 who sound same live and on CD. Do not be surprised, pls.

That is the minimum we can pretend.

A lot more is to sound BETTER than on CD. And here, my freind, start the problem (read= lady Gaga, Madonna, etce, etc, etc).

[Metalclown22]

@KurdtKobain09 well he isnt the first i noticed but i agree. few singers put out this much quality live

[okapi81]

ava adore intro mix (club dj remix version) - pitbull and billy corgan (smashing pumpkins)

in my videos

[Crysis1979]

Sp are still one of the best bands of all time.

[laudanumlight]

brilliant

[metalfish24]

Really do like Ava Adore even better live then recorded, so much angrier :)

[Stefmanovic]

Fuck....I miss those days...

[emoboi311]

the bassist is so hawtt

[stigmaweb]

This drummer rocks more than Jimmy

[gordonsgirlfriend]

I dont care wat any1 says, Adore blew S.D and M.C.I.S outta the water

[justinorville]

sorry dude but no

[MrJowilson9]

no way dude

[riei001]

Is Billy "emo" in this video? Hehehe!

This drummer is fantastic, so heavy, so powerfull!

[Adamodevadam]

The drummer wears same shirt since... forever. It must be quite stinky :DDD

[dylan9236]

How unbeleivably cool does it look at 2:39 when he steps back from the mike to rock out and then gets lit up by that beam of light!!!

[blackzeppelion]

1:09 when he gets away from the mic(to breathe lol...) you can see some dribble

[jonahjay]

Looks like Ali G / Borat on drums actually . . .

[badmagick1234]

still think Kenny was good by himself, the two percussionist were unnecessary.

[RageAgainst2009]

I love how there was a huge argument about MCR on this video haha. Well, either way, both band's lead singers are horrible live. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love both bands music, but the only reason I'd go to their concerts would just be to see some of my favorite bands in person.

[weekevypeepants]

i don't think his voice is horrible at all and if it is it's a good thing. he is singing his song with heart. i used to slate billy's voice but now i love it. unique...

[hashfromplan9]

@RageAgainst2009 this is a shoddy performance vocally, but Billy has always been a gr8 live singer. it sounds like he was sick here. but check out any boots of billy he sounds the same as the records.

[ncwrrn2009]

@hashfromplan9

works well with the song tho

[hashfromplan9]

@ncwrrn2009 agreed!!

[TravuhsWree]

This is probably the best live performance of this, at least on Youtube.

[nyboy010101]

was just thinking the same thing. best performance on youtube.

[Quadio1]

yup

[BiancaDimodena]

Es perfecto, (L)

[MCRaug7]

lol look at the comments from 5 months ago.

what the heck does that shit have to do with this video?

and stop comparing bands. they're all different.

enjoy the video people

[grsamt]

Such an amazing band. Why would they pick that name though? "Smashing Pumpkins" just doesn't go with the intensity of the music

[orgazm89]

because they fucking wanted to ,dumb ass...... you should probably ask yourself why you parents decided to have you, you just do not go with it either

[blackeyeblue]

adore was billy's struggle to keep the band from falling apart.. after the jimmy thing happened. and it turned out to be one of his best work..

SP is simply LEGENDARY

[faridjabba]

I prefer old SP

[enzio81]

of course

[ChumpJoe]

What is that fucking Satriani on the drums? What the hell is this, why is there a million people?

[lilpuppyguy]

Kenny Aranoff. One of the most hired drummers in the world... literally.

[lostalex77]

because they're trying to fill Jimmy's quite large shoes.

[seatucker]

is that a jazzmaster ?? that billy is playing >?

[iagobroxado]

it´s a Fernandes guitar.

[halifuckinfan]

God I miss the old pumpkins

[Khazanah]

Voldermo.... I mean Billy Corgan :D

[ncwrrn2009]

@Khazanah

yeah

NO...

[edwinc10458]

jajaja...eso si es verdad brother!

[Craiglovespepsi]

love the live versions of all the songs from adore a bit better for some reason.

Awsome band=)

[kaoko111]

Hell, this rocks, is a shame that the're back without half of the band

[edwinc10458]

Eso si es verdad!

[Fetanuz]

wow

[culturaleyes]

one of the last few good songs by this band in my opinion. I have NO idea what happened to Billy Corgan's writing from this point on...

[culturaleyes]

that said, when I saw them on the ava adore tour and they played this song live like this, it was the baddest thing ever

[osunaphilly]

it hit a wall.........

[PoisonedIXDagger]

Sucks cause I cant find this version for download anywhere....great song.

[DiseasedGandalf1]

this performance is SO fucking sick!

[CraftySNAK3]

ihate the part on the not live song where it like beeps every like two seconds i like this vesion better because the guitar replaces the beeps

[neuralnoiseband]

what a fucking great voice in this show fuck fuck fuck fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk r0x :)

[420Guitar420]

Live version is so much better than the studio.

[heathparkes10]

so good live

[zvx490]

ROFLOL it's so funny seeing ppl fighting over MCR here....

This is a really great concert.

[mrzerodocfan]

Descendant of Corganism at Amazon

[SarahStumbleine]

Just a note, this is a Smashing Pumpkins video, not an MCR one.

[TravuhsWree]

Haha.

[falloutdisco11]

i wish it was jimmy on the drums instead of this guy. It is gonna be sad seeing someone else

[xshineythingsx]

I hate mcr and most of the new shite about. It all sounds the same! I cant tell one 'band' from another! I love nirvana though! Ahh bring back the 90's!

[intensensation]

stupendi

[foofighter129]

don't compare "teenagers" to "smells like teen spirit", please.

[MiszzMiszz]

Gerard Way is one of the most genuine guys in showbusiness. why people so hate Way, if even Corgan likes him so much? Please, stop judge on appearances only!

[marsselomartinez]

buenisimo!

Marsse.

[MechaZillaLive]

What, I don't see it. Gerard has hear, and he's emo. I see Billy then a little more goth with emo traits.

[kane19solrac2008]

what are talkin about the drummer looks like hes about to go to a bike race

[Animefreak4ever]

i like his outfit...

lol

[rrrorkk]

drummer is awesome

[Fuelfan42]

best band alive check out today,landslide and valentine

[meleemaster1up]

anyone else think he looks like gerard way without hair in this vid?

[DuckfootTheBand]

I think gerard GAY might look like billy seeings how Billy came WAY before that faggot.

[meleemaster1up]

regardless of what any of you guys say, gerard way is much like the greats like smashing pumpkins, the beatles, and even nirvana. if you haven't really given them a chance, you're probably thinking that i'm just a little emo queer. but i know more about realy music than most of you. and if you really listen to MCR's music you can hear elements of the greats in it.

[DuckfootTheBand]

I'm not dissin you but im tired of people saying billy looks like gerard. BILLY CAME FIRST DAMMIT! and at times i find MCR can be bearable yes.

[meleemaster1up]

well neither of them are more original than the other because they were just born the way that they are. it's not like gerard is trying to look like him.

but i'm just saying that everybody get's pissed off when anyone mentions gerard because they have a narrow-minded view of his music. i'm probable more into the classic guys like billy here, and i really know my stuff. if you take the time to really listen to MCR, you can't not love them. so instead of everyone marking this thumbs down, try em.

[spameister]

You must have a pretty strong neck to support such a big head. I like to think I know a bit about music to, but I wouldn't make such a stupid statement comparing Gerard Way with The Beatles or 'even Nirvana', as you put it (as if Nirvana are better than The Beatles)

[meleemaster1up]

i really do know a lot about the rock genre. but i'm not trying to brag. music is my life. and i know what i'm talking about. how you ever listened to an MCR album all the way through?

and i never said that Nirvana is better than the Beatles. the Beatles is probably the greatest band in history. Nirvana really only spoke to the generation of the late eighties and nineties.

[spameister]

Yeah i have listened to MCR albums right through, I'm not stupid enough to say they're bad without having given them a chance. I know a lot about music in general (not trying to brag at all) and they're a long way off Billy Corgan, that's for sure.

[DerekMacGreggorson]

your a fucking fool.

Gerard way is a sellout, no talent. Joke.

Who got where he is on looks, faggetry, and luck.

Fuck you if you ever,

EVER

compare that peice of shit to the beatles or smashing pumpkins.

[meleemaster1up]

i just did.

MCR is probably better than most mainstream nu metal bands out there. and MCR is sometimes referred to as the new Nirvana.

so try not to get too pissed off, cunt. just try listening to them. i've listened to the Pumpkins from the start and i can assure you i know what i'm talking about.

[heero10]

grunge isn't emo

sorry =3

[TheSeveredTongues]

what the fuck where did emo come up in this conversation...

[heero10]

mcr is emo

im not dissing emo, just it isn't grunge

it's too pop-ish

i don't really like mcr anyway, mainstream isn't really that great. but, the killers are good =3

[meleemaster1up]

mcr isn't emo. they open hate the emo genre.

again, i didn't say they were grunge. i'm just saying that Nirvana and MCR are similar in the fact that they both spoke to a gengeration that artist before them simply couldn't. and they were/are pretty much the greatest teen band of their time.

nirvana wrote smells like teen spirit. mcr wrote teengagers.

nirvana wrote rape me. mcr wrote you know what they do to guys like us in prison.

they both make great music. that's how they're similar.

[heero10]

meh, I think mcr sold out

their first albums were better... at least, in my opinion

Headfirst for Halo's is a great song by them

[TheSeveredTongues]

you, good sir, r a fucking dumbass. Gerard way is nothing close to a sellout. Mcr is one of those bands today that make actual music...its fine if you dont liek mcr but hes not a sellout..Billy corgan and gerard way both own

[Intomyshtik]

But Corgan can sing!! Ive seen mcr live (at a festival) and my mates seen them a few times, and Gerard Way CANNOT hold a damn note..and how many "live" albums are they gonna release? Without even thanking their touring bassist in the damn liner notes, thats selling out and just being damn rude to a musican who steped up to save a tour when Mikey decided to piss off-seriously uncool. This however is a damn good version of a damn good song!

[TheSeveredTongues]

ok dude i never said this wasnt a good song i love this song and mcr thanked their bassist and mikey didnt piss off he had mental issues and gerard way can sing quite fucking well....and thats not what selling out is..selling out is giving up ur beleifs about music and maing shit so u can get money...and mcr aint fuckign close to that...so stop being a jerk and dont diss mcr cus they own and dont deserve the shit they are getting

[Intomyshtik]

The statement I read was Mikey left to be with family, thats a fair enough reason. I was told the touring bassist wasnt thanked-I stand corrected. But realeasing 2 live albums from one album and charging $50 for one cuz of a tshirt?that sounds like making shit to make money to me.And Gerard refused to shave his head for black parade,that whole cropped blonde look to look more like a cancer patient...yea,too arrogant to go thru with it properly, seems pretty fake to me.I calls em as I sees em!

[Intomyshtik]

Addional : My mates a vocalist,a damn good one, he agrees Gerad cant sing, his uncles a producer, a profesional one (recorded Slipknot to name one band) he agrees, and knows the studio trickery mcr use...also my gf's cousin works in the industry,has worked with them,and agrees.

[Kobeownzu81]

ur bringing your girlfriends cousin and your uncle into an arguement on youtube. cmon dude seriously lol. who cares if he doesnt like a band u like. this is a smashing pumpkins video not mcr if u like them so much why are u watching this video
