Glass And The Ghost Children - Smashing Pumpkins Budokan

[TheBrianv1]

Tetrahedra Tetragrammaton Wisdom

[frasmo]

awesome..

[TheBrianv1]

awesome song, sets my mind adrift to places unseen.

[dontkeepthisname]

I personally prefer the album version only because of the monologue in the middle.

[nico352]

i want this guitar!!!!

[zuj467]

we want jimmy and james back!

[dadounec]

I'm counting the spiders crawling up inside me

[MechanicalChrist1]

that guitar intro that James did sounded so fuckin cool

[TheBrianv1]

esoteric wisdom!

[etherealbylar]

Bad Ass Bass Player!!!!!

[etherealbylar]

@etherealbylar And the drummer wow!

Everyone is amazing!!.... Smashing pumpkins one of the best bands of the 90's

[puertatankerai]

@etherealbylar sure!!

[logieman]

iha shredding yes!! love it!! he's amazing!!

[TheWalker96]

i agree with you thefoetus

[TheWalker96]

yeah i do admit james is good guitar player and backup singer but he could never top billy corgan in singing or guitar playing. i have followed this band for years. they are to this day my favorite of all time. live forever smashing pumpkins

[TheWalker96]

one of my top 3 favorite smashing pumpkins songs. my favorite verse is when he says one more cherry cola to lift up her dead arms. and when he says as she counted the spiders as they crawled up inside her. billy corgan . is awesome.

[kakaistheman2007]

this song is so beautiful, much better than the album version.

Billy corgan is so amazing

[glassfrehley]

James should start a clothing line or something.

Then he could be better at Billy at something.

Besides having more class.

[nicholsjoshua15]

@glassfrehley James is already a better trader than Billy Corgan. It takes a special kind of trader to screw over the man that made you rich.

[nasalscarecrow]

Epic.

[Gamagachee]

0:39 Nice Danzig Ristband Mellissa

[CerpinTaxt1983]

fuck i miss james

[Gamagachee]

Let's not forget, while Jimmy is an underrated drummer, Billy is incredibly underrated as a guitarist.

[edsoncaipira]

o q m dizem desta mina d quitarra ??? manda mto ou não ???

[karlos23023]

from what album id this song??? its not from machina 1 or 2 right??

[randomaznkenny]

its on Machina 1

[alphonse1971]

it is... from machina 1

[skizmsucks23]

James iha needs to come back 2 the pumpkins

[etherealbylar]

I listened this song again, and definitively is one of my favorites now =)

[PennyRoyaleTea]

Love this.

[dolorexa]

Melissa wearing red evening dress and danzig wristband...man,is she great or what...and also James` soloing,perfect performance all in all.

[silv3rfuck]

everything about this version is perfect

[depechemodevilla]

great version of this song

[VonRichter]

This is a fantastic sound and sounds awesome here. Too bad the recorded album version didn't do it justice.

[joao1988pedro]

wow this song is so beautiful

[pissant75]

...love it when he puts his hand up to signal jimmy on the drums...check it out at 3:40.....

[pissant75]

... a great song indeed, its funny though dat most of their song are played much faster in live shows than the album version, i guess its bout giving people a sense of differences. billy is unique in everyway you see him, he's tall and hunched, stradle his guitar way down low, wears a gothic lookin dress far different than james, sings in a whiny nasal voice almost like b-real of cypress hill, then writes/creates beautiful songs...to sum it all up he is just amazing literally. unique.

[Fathoms2004]

This song sounds like Radiohead covering Gish but with a total pornography era Cure vibe.

[KeroCake]

This is an amazing song. I agree, it's odd at first, but then it totally grows on you.

[yogidrasil]

god damn, I've said it many times and I'll say it again, billy corgan sucks singing live

[thenextfrusciante]

He did then, but listen to one of their concets from '91-'95, his singing was much better.

[drinimartini]

I don't know if there is something wrong with your hearing or what, but Billy sings live amazingly well, if not better than on the albums.

[fleurdupommier]

I totally agree with you: Billy Corgan mysteriously has an ability to put a lot of beauty, emotion and edge in to his singing that few other have. IMO, he's amazing both live and record. And I'm so tired and bored by the compromising wannabe rockers who copy either Eddie Vedder or someone like him..

[drinimartini]

Right on.

[rohiogerv22]

in parts he's too close to his mic, but other than that it's a consistent sound really, with sometimes more energy live than recorded... You hardly ever hear the wail on records... i think theres one song on Mellon Collie but i forget which one... If you dont know what I mean, find Heavy Metal Machine or Gossamer... "So let the Bird Fly! AOOOOOOOW!"

[ewa1401]

excellent video!!!! i (ewa) love smashing pumpkins!!!

[peaceout1990]

amazing drumming as usual :-)

[bradskinomaths]

thank you SO much for posting this video!

and yes, hate to disappoint, but jimmy chamberlin is a FAR better drummer than Lars. Lars is not that special, really.

[bjensenbjensen]

@bradskinomaths i thought everyone knew this?

[biilycorgan]

one of my fav pumpkins songs along with stand inside your love and the everlasting gaze<3jimmy kicks ass on them drums

[OgadaNosaFasu]

This song sounded so different than anything I've ever heard before so it took some time to get used to it but it grew on me and it's really great!

[08L1V10N]

this is fucking art! Jimmy looks hot

[topiwill28]

Why D'Arcy left the band in this period??

[BlackMarketMonkey]

cocaine's a hell of a drug

[peaceout1990]

-"HUH HUH, HUH HUH"

Lol

[tikat]

One of my favourites Machina songs, along with Blue Skies Bring Tears and Stand Inside Your Love *-*

Seeing this alive should be awsooooome

[Niall21]

jimmy always reminds me of robert downey jr. looks very similar

[allanvendetta]

Its the drugs

[bjthepumpkinguy]

jimmy chamberlin and danny carey are twin brothers..

[218drum]

haha, now that you mention it, they kind of look alike...

[blackleatherjacket]

jimmy=THE DRUMGOD._

[pvtvitoguido]

seriously dude...fuck lars....there's nothing special about him other then the fact that if was chased by the cops, i'm sure he could outrun them on foot....otherwise, it's the same beat on every song....

[stellar887]

i luv both danny carey and jimmy for totally different reasons.they each have there strengths and weaknesses.but lars ulrich is nowhere close to there talent.and im a metallica fan!!!!

[Pattymv500]

The whole thing on lars is 2 me, lars is great 4 metallica, but comparing lars and jimmy, lars lacks style, he's got really simple drumming skills. Jimmy kicks ass but danny carey is my favourite drummer. Great concert this is.

P.S. Is it just me or does Jimmy Chamberlin and Danny Carey look alike.

[EccentricSage]

not to mention Larz is 'learning to unplay the drums', to borrow a great line from Deathclock. lol Seriously, remember the mess of a 'song' called Some Kind of Monster? What a bunch of sellouts.

[smashingpumpkin1986]

I was gonna get it from Itunes but they don't have the full Machina album. The fools...

[Slunk32]

download? This is a song off machina. Buy machina... its one of the best albums ever

[smashingpumpkin1986]

Where can I get a download for this please? I love this song.

[xGhostoftheRiverx]

John Bonham > all. Hands down. Chamberlin is great toot though

[bjthepumpkinguy]

john henry bonham + buddy rich = james joseph chamberlin

[mastertheart]

danny carrey is great, i know both tool and pumpkins very well, and ive seen both drummers at there best live and up close and jimmy is superior in many ways, this is much more noticable live than on cd,jimmy is just too much

[duggyaces]

Let's not get crazy. Tommy Lee is a DAMN good drummer. Give a little respect. Jimmy to me is just an inch below Peart.  Boy I love JImmy. Pumpkins are my favorite band of all time. Second is the CRue so stop hating..lol

[MVPS]

JIMMY CHAMBERLING RULE DA FUCKING WORLD!

no more..!

[dimadig]

+100

[laxativesuicide]

Metallica is not a sell out, they're just good. Lars has been a good metaldrummer allthough for the last 10 years he plays crap. His sound, with the fucked up snaredrum doesn't make it any better. Too bad he did that.

As for the other drummers: Jimmy is great, Neil is great, as long as they can keep it together. I love 'em both and it's crap to compare them because both have a different style and both are great at what they do. Having so many different drummers makes drumming fun, dig that :)

[WittyReference]

Melissa fitted so well

[darksean99]

Lars is probably one of the worse piles of crap in the music biz today. Both as a drummer and as a person, he is the reason why metallica is a shitty sellout band now. Compareing JC to lars is blasphamy

[punkdrummah]

HAHA LARS!!! HE SUCKS!!!

I used to like metallica before i became a drummer, then I realized that he's just another boring 80's drummer.

[218drum]

lars does suck

[domeslacker]

jimmy is a great drummer, the pumpkins were (and maybe will be again?) a great band and i love em..but jimmy is in no way shape or form the best drummer. lars ulrich could drum better with his eyes closed and using his toes. even sp's guitar work isnt the best, but its not about that..its about the songs

[218drum]

eyes closed and with his toes?

are you serious?

[domeslacker]

i was obviously saying that to make a point..either way you take it, jimmy's drumming doesnt come close to ulrich or other drumming greats. and as stated before, even the pumpkins guitar work doesnt cut close the work of great bands such as metallica, led zeppelin and others

[Vanstrom]

I disagree

[LiveForSpeedS2]

hahaha good one. Seriously, Lars the better drummer...that's like saying Kurt Cobain is a better guitar player than Hendrix.

[rohiogerv22]

Lars combines basic drumming with a double bass. Most idiot drummers in metal bands pound away at their double bass without doing much else. Being able to multitask double-bass with actual drumming does signify that Lars has some talent, but his rhythms are basic, unsynchopated, and value speed over technique. I think Jimmy is better.

[sivaband]

of course jimmy is better, its no contest, jimmy is the best drummer ever besides neal peart

[theniggies]

I do think Jimmy Chamberlin is a great, great drummer, especially cause he's so influenced by jazz...but I have to say Danny Carey is an even better drummer. If you listen to his polyrythmic technique you can see what a drum god he is. Still...LOTS OF KUDOS TO YOU JIMMY!!! :)

[pishowda]

So much better than the album version

[GeertRinkel]

Was this live show at Budokan released on DVD? It includes some of the best live perfomances by the Smashing Pumpkins.

Thanks a lot for putting this up.

[innsaane]

Nothing sexier than a hot woman playing a hot bass line. Go Melissa!

[KruspeFish]

Everyone thinks Neil Peart is the greatest, but IMO Jimmy sounds waaaaay better.

[bjthepumpkinguy]

white labs are cookin' up the silver ghost!

methamphetaminically smashing!

[PostComment]

This Was AWESOME!! heh thank you for posting

[jesseakers]

tommy lee should take lessons hmm..

[218drum]

Jimmy is the greatest drummer on earth. PERIOD

[activehead]

jimmy does it awesome

[lunyluna]

This is one of my favorites from MACHINA. Thank you so much for putting it up! Pure awesomeness.

[jta303]
