Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins) In The Arms of Sleep

[SymonWayne]

Those sounds you hear in the background are just the effects you get from octaves.

Billy Corgan !!! eres un dios !!!

[RadiantOption]

Misspent youth, enduring prospect, restless energy, and first loves; my heart will always live in the 90s.

[schlongies]

Ho amato e amo Billy. Ho provato e provo a fidarmi ancora del suo talento.

Ma credo che non potrà mai più essere scritta una simile meraviglia.

[crazycrash313]

[GlennWilsonMusic]

cool. Thanks for sharing! Oh, and check out my music!!!!!!

[suormariaclaretta]

why? why coulnd't i be there? whyyyy????

[armsofdelmar]

this is good, pretty pretty good

[Drossrock]

Was he playing alone? I can hear sounds in the back like in the album version ?¿?

[infinitesmile]

@Drossrock he was definitely playing all by himself - it was magical ;-)

[lothargroth]

@infinitesmile I hear the sound like the Album Version ?¡¡? @lothargroth

[TheLydianRocks]

@Drossrock those are cascading notes

[keepsainatwork]

@Drossrock explain? what sounds do you hear? its billy with a guitar

[wetpaperflowers]

@Drossrock

Yeah! Yeah! the sounds we hear in the background come naturally... well, to Billy Corgan.

[moshinno]

@Drossrock - i think it's the combination of the guitar tuning (half step down except the G string) , the open chords and the harmonics he provokes (touching lightly some strings)

[dorianXsapiens]

@moshinno Good call. And I think I hear that the high E is down an additional half step, sounding a D.

[KingOfCarrotflowers]

...How he can play this thing with a smile throughout is inhuman...Still, one of my favorite songs.

[starlastarlove]

beauuuuuuuuutiful <3

[pandelerick]

I love how Billy messes up at :37 and then laughs it off. So freakin awesome

[nigrobat]

@pandelerick he's not even drunk either

[Spiralminds]

This is so brilliant. God.

[yyzcityofangels]

[funkadillo1]

The camera man is headbanging along.

[sleeponthefl00r]

[BioShockisAWESOME]

divine song! thanks The Smashing Pumpkins!

[infinitesmile]

Billy Corgan performed an acoustic set on 30 Sept 2010 in a book store (atoutlivre) in Paris as part of the book signing for "Chants Magnetiques" a book he co-wrote with french author Claire Fercak.

[viloscala]

Merci merci, quel rêve de voir ça ! Et c'était y'a 3 mois ???!

[darkxslaye]

You couldnt shake more :) but thx anyway :D

[infinitesmile]

@darkxslaye welcome - I'm not a pro ;-) and don;t have pro equipment ;-) 

[Sixpog]

@darkxslaye he was that close to billy corgan, I commend him for not having a damn seisure

[infinitesmile]

@Sixpog I'm a she ;-) and the experience was quite overwhelming I must say ;-) thanks for appreciating. Not easy keeping a tiny flip camera steady for over 30 min ;-)

[crestfaIIen]

@infinitesmile you did well ! no need to complain here. you stood close, you recorded the songs fully and in nice quality. just some people are never happy :/

thanks for sharing !

[twlawrence]

@infinitesmile Nice job with all the vids! In the future, I hope that Billy can do an acoustic tour with material from his entire catalog.

[Vermin80]

@infinitesmile

let me tell you, you have done very very well my dear :) thanks for recording this great session! greetings from switzerland to my neighbours!

[95AnnieAnnie95]

@infinitesmile were you expecting to see him or was it like the most amazing coincidence ever?

[infinitesmile]

@95AnnieAnnie95 Thankfully Billy announced this performance on Twitter and I immediately called the bookstore to confirm, on the day I took my older son Phoenix and drove 4 hours from Luxembourg to Paris just for this event ;-) you can see my son in the TONIGHT TONIGHT clip when I pan over to the right (he was 8 at the time) me and my boys are huge pumpkins fans

[95AnnieAnnie95]

@infinitesmile that's awesome!!! :O I would've been psyched!!!

[amabille16]

@darkxslaye If I was watching Billy Corgan playing live one of my favorite songs, I would be shaking even more!

[darkxslaye]

You couldnt shake more :) but Thx anyway :D

[pumpkinhead1977]

lol There are "thumb" things I'll live without... Oh the look of surprise on his face, priceless. Great performance of a superbly written song.

[rpeniuk]

Sweeeeeet!

[280582]

Super good! Thanks for posting!

[eyesout]

billy + guitar = heaven

[zpeyser]

Thanks so much for posting this!

[ffmattsk8]

This is sweet but I wish there was some bass being played along with it. It's one of my favorite SP basslines.

[iscariotwalkingshade]
