Smashing Pumpkins - Reptile (The Church)

[WuHa105]

They did this song justice... the original is still the best but this sounds cool :)

[lauratmd]

The Church plays this so much better. I've loved the Pumpkins since their first album, but they don't play this song anywhere nearly as well as the church does.

[Sprinkleful]

Smashing Pumpkins...I love doing that! But seriously, The Church were always way under-rated. If This was a SP original it would be one of their big hits.

[Aussiephil99]

The sad thing is most of the audience (younger aussies) probably don't even know anything about The Church...or that this is a cover

[beatlloydy]

lol...love how the Smashing Pumpkins do Reptile..and Church do Disarm...almost like a nod to each other...and "liddledriver" I think you are wrong about not only the Church but INXS...INXS started out originally in West Australia....perhaps you are thinking of Dragon or Split Enz .

[pandom70]

liddledriver , explain how The Church are from New Zealand,

[TheWonderDoc]

Hard to tell, is that Darcy playing? Sad seeing what she's done to herself...

[NINgatita]

@TheWonderDoc no it's that chick Ginger



[91nickt]

the audio quality is shit *sigh* if only it was a little clearer, i'm sure it was amazing

[wibassplayer]

Pretty cool, just wish the sound quality was better.

[Liddledriver]

My bad, Australia and England. Had them confused with INXS.

[Liddledriver]

The Church is from New Zealand mates!

[chunkycustard121]

@Liddledriver Wrong dopey!!

[RussX5Z]

This sucks!! NIN's reptile is way better.

[tobiaspunk]

smashing pumpkins covering the church...could there be anything better?

[crustpunk]

If I could say 1 thing to Billy Corgan, it would be to make a studio recording of this cover.

[WuHa105]

Awesome! I love this Church song and also the Pumpkins.

[Shards013]

NIN? This is a brilliant song by The Church paid homage by the Smashing Pumpkins. What's confusing?

[blankeditor]

Always loved this song. The Church highlighted underrated, although very mellow. I would love to have an audio version of this cover.

[MsRedbelly]

Yeah, that's what I meant! It was, of course, a different version than the original in a way, as it was live, played years after 'Starfish'. Probably one of the best versions of it I've seen them play (I've seen them numerous times, I'm a huge, long-time fan)

I also like the Church's covers of 'Hounds Of Love'- that Kate Bush classic, & of 'I am a Rock' by Paul Simon.

[epsillen]

my favoris band whit my favorit song= best combo ever!! <3

[gsxr750sp]

The Church rule, what a great tribute!

[dolphinsfan1966]

SP suck ass now!

[mostharda]

INCREDIBILE COVER

[KARBELAEZ]

i soooo love this song. I love The Church and this is a great cover!!!!!!!

[royalnash]

nine inch nails version kicks this ones ass

[ozphoria]

@royalnash wrong song, this is a different song to NIN's song.

[brian4480]

@ozphoria .....jeez now i can understand why some people like shitty music...they dont know what they are fucking hearing. How anyone can think this is a cover of a NIN song is just fucking beyond me.

[HalfAssPictures]

@brian4480 espcially when it say THE CHURCH right in the fucking title

[ajhoagie72]

@ozphoria Yes, clearly the church

[whpriol1]

@royalnash I'm sure Trent Reznor ripped off the Church song.

[Run4TheRabid]

@royalnash idiot

[epsillen]

The Church forever!! :D Love this song!!!

[razielmxz]

damnit!! NIN & The smashing pumpkins are 2 of my favourite bands ever.. i really thought this was a cover ¬_¬

[djgamble07]

Does a great job actually! Guitar work is awesome (as to be expected) but the voice works well too. Wish we had a better quality version of this!

[didoodle]

oh Dear, i think i just come

[MrTrainrick]

this isnt nin

[gregglaker]

Saw the church last night  at GAMH they played Disarm and it rocked! This is a pretty good version of reptile but the church still are grinding it out after 30 years!

[simionTheOne]

woaw awesome cover! :D

sick song to cover!

[PresetsChick]

Ok

But The Church sang it better

Coming from a true blue Church fan

[coreyrayvaughan]

Trent sucks and I'll back it up.

[Manano09]

fuckin idiot , explain then how Trent sucks?

[coreyrayvaughan]

Woah woah woah, twasn't me who made this comment. In MY opinion, Trent rocks. gonna have to log off this thing more often...

[thebujaz]

QUE ISSO ATE CHOREI ESCUTANDO !!!!

[homeslicehomeslice]

@thebujaz speak english asshole

[cuntsgab]

cool. lil billy corgan comin out in the music. good cover.

[Erickaf]

pretty awesome church cover!

[tabajames]

very funny lol i sore The Church the over night and he sayed the Smashing Pumpkins played one of our songs so where going to play one of theres so the played disarm and they rocked at it !!!!!

[saturnslament]

@tabajames WOW, I wanna see that!!!

[BIKERJAKE74]

What are you saying? sore? over night? he sayed? play one of theres so the played? I truely am lost at what you are talking about.

[LeatherCladVegan]

I would have gone apeshit if I had seen them do this live.

One of my favourite Church songs, played by one of my favourite bands.

Starfish is such a good album. Awesome.

[roughtymez]

yeah this is pretty amazing

[MsRedbelly]

Saw the Church last night...AMAZING. Not only did they do a searing version of this, they played a Smashing Pumpkins track (very well), after Steve K made cheeky quips about men in 'Frocks'

30 years on the Church are still amazing.

[HalfAssPictures]

@MsRedbelly searing version? you mean the original version right?

[IlexForestDuhs]

@MsRedbelly This is a The Church song...

[mrtarquin2000]

@IlexForestDuhs

I know. One of my favourites

[guyfidelity]

I'm impressed, go Billy, great taste.

[68cleveland68]

LOL doesnt Trent dislike Corgan? Trent smashes his pic in the Starfuckers video. LOL this isnt even a NIN cover its an old aussy song but if it was a NIN cover i would be surpirse 2 see Corgan cover it because of the whole starfuckers video.

[MafiaD56]

Trent smashes himself as well in that vid the only people he disliked were britney spears and fred durst. He smashes marilyn manson, Michael Stipe, Gene Simmons, and Corgon. But if you see that interview it was mainly a shot at the britney spears and fred dursts of the world.

[Pusta2000]

starfuckers is about celebrity culture in general direct words from trent.

[TeskoVirgo]

Eric Clapton also has an unrelated song called Reptile. Get over it.

[ozphoria]

Before commenting on this not being a song by NIN, or how this doesn't sound like NIN's song Reptile ... please read the description that has always clearly stated:

The Smashing Pumpkins came on stage to in the encore to play a classic Australian song - Reptile - by The Church.

[johnmoser01]

What sucks is I was watching a NIN vid playing Reptile and this song was "Related"

This song is cool though.

[gundambob646]

@ozphoria thanks. this just means thing youtubes indexing algorithm isnt working properly or the lack of tags screwed it up. its a youtube/google backend problem

[kayele]

@ozphoria

This is AWESOME. I'm late to The Church but of course a genius like Billy decides to play this...wish I was there! And The Church is my new fav band since Clan of Xymox

[noteatpig2getha]

@ozphoria - I was just watching the Church's original version and another (so called) NIN fan called it out as "the worst NIN cover ever". ..???

[Vesper0066]

I am pretty sure this is not the same reptile from NIN, lyrics are completely different

[RallyCat909]

This is a cover of a band from Australia called 'The Church'.

[MrMreclipse89]

i love how people keep talking about how much they love ine inch nails and then say that their cover of this is better...

i'm pretty sure that they're different songs here...not positive...could be wrong...just saying...

[ChristBurner]

your not, people are idiots....

[PureLegendUK]

You can't call anyone an idiot if you can't spell "you're" right, ChristBurner.

[ChristBurner]

....touche

[xXKittieCoreXx]

nin ddnt cover this songg..its originally from the church well its not . nin song reptile is an original song that happens to be the same title and for all u guys saying NINs cover is much better. ur an idiot.

[kingofwoe]

NIN's cover is a lot better,

[bdonovan13]

there is NO NIN cover of this song! just like NIN and Gwen Stefani/No Doubt both have a song called Underneath It All, this is just the same name for a totally different song...in both cases however, NIN is better than the other haha.

[wakaw07]

You dunb> this is a church track!

[plasmapotty71]

they were better when they were drug addicts and had the original drummer...Pondora1 stop being gay...seriously

[Veggiorto666]

yuck. Billy needs to pull his head out of his ass.

[postyman86]

i reckon they would cover 'reptile' (the NIN version) great!!

[chilipeppersrule20]

They need to do that...

[shapank]

smashing pumpkins blow, but even then they're smart enough to not cover NIN....get it through your thick fucking skulls people...this isnt an NIN cover.

[alancito86]

I liked this cover and I love The Church and Smashing Pumpkins. NIN is one of my favourite bands too, and I'm sure you're not better than Trent.

[DoctorVic]

fishsquisher is a tool.

[armoredsoldner]

Wow - you're just big bundle of gay, aren't ya?

[DrSmoothness]

How is anyone mistaking this for a NIN cover? Sure, they have the same title, but the songs are about polar opposite sounding. Props to the Pumpkins. Great cover.

[ElWeasle]

Oh right ;D Bit harsh :P

[ElWeasle]

Say what?

[wickinvail]

try again. It was written by the Church.

Duh?

[sweatysocksarecool]

the church are awesome and billy corgan rules

cause its a rock and roll party

whoooo

[tonycologne]

What a shame this classic was wasted on a bunch of oblivious 18 year olds.

[dblnjenn]

i'm with tonycologne 100%. as much as i like smashing pumpkins, i'm not happy about this. and as much as i can appreciate NIN, there's no way he's talented enough to pull off a song like "reptile."

[spookypig]

NIN's Reptile is not a cover. it's a totally original song, just happens to have the same title.

[TIMMEH113694]

the church are mad

i didnt know pumpkins did a cover

great! (Y)

[jrquilty]

i saw Reptile, thought they were covering a NIN song, but not with that bullshit vocals lol

[chack1231]

Its not a nin song its an original from The Church

[spookypig]

Are you retarded? This is a cover of Reptile by The Church

[BILLYBRONCOS]

steve kilbey sounds so much better corgan is missing the "passion".

[Kartofflesalad]

Dude, 2 words.

DRUG REHAB

[drummerboyrocks]

a great band doing a cover of an amazing song, originally done by the worlds best guitar band...not a bad effort,but miles short of the original....

[BrisJohan23]

I'm a fan of Billy's but he should have left this to The Church...seriously.

[dirtylarry69]

bloody awful.. great song.. lame band ..i never got this whinny voiced pussy

[electronicblack]

wooooooooooow

cover of "THE CHURCH - REPTILE"

great song

saludos desde chile

ojala se venga por estas tierras SP

[GoTHICTHUG88]

gaayyyy should've been NIN

[Saben15]

hahahaha agreed

[tararep]

third-ed

[ninfreak18]

seriously. Only reason why i clicked on it...

[wakaw07]

I love nin but If you don't know who the church are then you have alot to learn! You are obvioulsy a beginner!

[MaliceMizery1]

haha i think everyones clicked it hopin

it was a cover of nin.

which woulda been unfuckinbelievable

[fatcrow198]

i did :(

but hey ho...

[fossila]

me too :(

[empty216]

Aha, I did aswell.

[modsleix6]

Kilbey and Co. should kick his ass for trashing this song, just like Mac and Co. for his shit version of "Lips Like Sugar".

[xMisterBlakex]

damn, thought this was a NIN cover of his Reptile, not some shitty aussie band. im aussie so back off aussies!!

[scaredsexy]

heheh mee too..

[bjthepumpkinguy]

that guitar riff is so PHENOMENAL!

[spaceboyXIV]

For a second there I thought they were covering Nine Inch Nails, and got terribly excited.

[StupidityKills]

I thought the same! But I enjoyed this as well.

[unknownstatistic]

lol, same here xD

[koalasaucegirl]

Ditto

[Frinkendel]

same here! hahaha xD

[shattercones]

The Church, A band like no other!

[Alejjjjo]

what a surprise...

the church is the best

[JonTheDandy]

WOW THIS COVER IS BADASS! I love the original and The pUmpkins Fucking Rule!

[TZIGAN0]

THE CHURCH UNICI E GENIALI

[skrason]

Wow, that was actually really good. I'm impressed. You can tell not many people in the audience knew the song, unfortunately. Hopefully this cover convinced some Pumpkins fans to pick up some of their albums (Heyday & Priest=Aura, are so amazing). The Church have to be one of the most criminally underrated or downright ignored rock bands, ever. Shame.

[glitterlip]

seeing this was so amazing

thanks for putting this up

:)

[kkljjj]

Killer version of one of the all time best song... love how the Pumpkins lead guitarist pays total tribute to Marty-Wilson Piper's little solo by taking his hand off the neck of the guitar like the original video. I really like the lead guitar at the end of the song, not original but great in my book! Good one.

[logiclust]

i didn't notice that the first time i watched. the way he lets go of the neck is a total Marty tribute!

[dereishai]

I like Billys outfit. =)

[unclekiki]

haha you can always tell who has never heard this song before when they start to clap in the middle of the song.

[shadowolf2k]

OMG, my favorite band ever playing one of my favorite songs ever <3 <3 <3

[SchwarzMohn]

oh wow it sounds perfect!!

[pumkinfan2]

lol @ the people making out right in front

[shadowolf2k]

lol, I think you're referring to the cameraman...

[leonhealy]

haha, at 1:43 u see my camera pop up, fuck that was the best concert, front row twice, cant beat that.

[stevekilbey2]

Smashing pumpkins????

play this song ???? i can't belive this

great performance but very rare i'm happy to see this

[sixSINsix]

this song is perfect.

[lizberry81]

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!

I never would have thought in a million years that they would do something (AWESOME) like this!!!

What a nice surprise... when I read the title I thought it was an April Fool's joke.

:-)

[davidleegoth]

a great tribute to the one of the world's finest band's

[stuhawk5]

this was awesome on the night! Better than the distortion fest that shouldnt have been done in a 1.5hr set :(

[sydb]

sounded fucking great live, thx for posting the video..

[babanajoe]

Just Awesome,love SP2 :)

[saturnslament]

Jeff is doing the back vocals!!!

GREAT!

[mattydav08]

GREAT STUFF ...... Someone tell Kilbey!!

Kurt is that you.??

Md

[Plus1Presents]

Pumpkins doing Reptile in Australia!?!

What a fantastic tribute to The Church, and Steve Kilbey and the guys.

[oliv9]

oh wow i was next to the tall dude with that orange hat on, can't see that but yeah i was close by
