Last time i saw this video, everyone was in awe about this version, billy's vocals and the scream @ 2:45. Can't understand why there's so many negative comments. Even one is too many...
The guitars solos on this song were my favourite for years, the two albums were just perfection, soundtrack to my youth! Amongst a million others of course but this song has a special place in my heart. Love it!
Mellon Collie is one of the best rock albums ever. I hate to say it, but the studio did a lot for Billy's voice. He could rarely sing that well on stage, granted at this time they were playing in front of huge crowds and arenas, and they are rocking so hard, he had no choice but to just scream.

Great song, great band, but terrible performance. Back in the day they could do it right but now it seems that Billy Corgan can't perform anymore, too bad
@Halochief165 Terrible performance? Really? I love that it brings out the raw energy of the song. I never understood how people can miss that in this song
Question for "peniosasdasd": What the hell is "Emo" music? Full disclosure however, I ask this under the admission that I don't listen to contemporary music (circa 2002 on) 'cause it blows moose nads, but the Pumpkins are definately not whatever the hell "Emo" is considered.
wow billy just cannot scream like that anymore...that last chorus? jesus. well at the very least he doesn't feel the need to. that harmony he does with james at the end is sick
pumpkins where greatest rock band ever...mixed beautiful lyrics with hard and soft rock and all was meaningful and artistic...takes me to a great place in my mind every time i listen to a pumpkins album....billys 90s stuff will be number one in my book forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
such a great song. you should Here is No Why live 1996 at Brixton, cause those are the details and it would be easier to search for it. thanks for uploading :)
My favorite band of all time. I really wish they would come back with the original band. I love Billy and Jimmy, but I want James and D'arcy too. It's not the same without them. Look at 2:34 and tell me Billy isn't a God of Guitar! WOW!!!
I wonder what would've happened if Melvoin didn't die, Jimmy didn't left and the MCIS tour reached the Madison Square Garden as it was planned.
Any doubts that it would have been one of the gratest rock concerts ever? I mean, they reached that status later, but really, they were ready at the time. It was a great loss of time all that drug sh*t.
@AJCNard well thats because during the MCIS era concerts he practically puked his lungs in screaming, so his throat became soared at every concert, making him sing like a nasal/guttural Kurt Cobain-like voice... i like it anyway :D
i think this was their peak... when I think of SP I think of Gish thru Mellon Collie. I do like Adore, Machina and even Zeitgeist, but Mellon Collie will always be "the" album for me when it comes to the pumpkins.
@peniosasdasd I hate fans who think that SD was the only good album they ever made. There are TONS of fans who feel that way, especially on the internet, and they all disgust me...
But at least you do acknowledge that Gish was a great piece of work.
i think the topics he writes about are changing again. He flirted with politic/government stuff in his songs, but last new song i heard it's back to life :)
people allways say james added alot. He had his great part, sure, but he only composed three album songs (not counting b-sides). Mayonaise, soma and take me down. First two he wrote with billy. Great songs. I saw Jeff soloing with billy and theguy can play guitar.
Exactly, I saw them at the Palms in Vegas last year. They were great. I've seen the Pumpkins throughout their career after Siamese Dream and have like like them since. I am going to miss Jimmy even more than James even though James was a good guitar player. I miss the old Pumpkins like alot of people because I grew up with their music, but things change and you have to just accept it. I do, however, wish Billy would write about topics he use to write about. He's still an awesome guitarist.
Billy wrote his best stuff when he was living a real existence. Nowadays, he lives in a bubble and doesn't experience much except from his lackeys. Their latest DVD was painful to watch
There is some truth to that for sure. I think he went down that celebrity road which really sucks because when this album came out I would have thought that he would have been the last person to do that. When I think of real Billy Corgan I think of this album and Siamese Dream. Even Adore. I mean one of my favorite lines of all time, "If your giving in, then your giving up." It's kind of a shame that new Billy didn't listen to old Billy, but I still love him. I met him once in Minneapolis.
I don't think that is true at all. D'arcy was a great bass player and got better during this time. She can keep up live with them and I think that is why Mellon Collie was they're best record. Because much of it was recorded live.
bring the light LOL you gotta be kidding seriously I hope, every song from mellon collie was better, gish had better songs as well a siamese dream and pisces iscariot
The opening riff of this song is one of the best rock riffs ever. It's too bad the Smashing Pumpkins fell from the public eye and Billy went off in a different musical direction. Mellon Collie was - to me - the pinnacle of what 90s rock was all about. A vast, pretentious double album of just pure, good tunes.
epic one of the best bands there is alive....if you enjoy modern music and even new music pay attention to the smashing pumpkins because they will always be the band that pleases the ears..................cheers
Awesome band. i have been following them almost from their beginning. However, too much bullshit has gone on in the past 8 years to take them seriously anymore. Jimmy leaving the band is the last nail imo. Now it is like GnR with only Axel Rose left.
I wasn't trying to compare Billy to Axel. I was comparing the two band's situations regarding their members. Both bands have lost all their original members except their front men.
I agree. It's really sad. I met billy and his personality was shocking. I think he's lost his heart. Some of the new songs are good, but I miss James guitar playing. And anyone that thinks James didn't add anything needs to get their ears checked. Watch some live clips of James lead playing, and watch some clips of Billy's. Then you will truly see what is missing from the new pumpkins albums.
Absolutely. The band's die hard fan boys will tell you that it doesn't matter who is in the band as long as Billy still is because he is the Pumpkins. I don't necessarily agree because James and Darcy added quite a bit to the sound and the spirit of the band. Losing Jimmy though is going to kill them. Sadly, i think they are done.
It's different with SP though. James and D'arcy never meant anything to studio recordings. Jimmy leaving is a heavy blow, but its happened before, and Adore was a great album despite. I think Billy has the ability to make lots more great material. I think Billy's largest problem now though is that he doesn't have any equals. Jeff, Ginger, and Lisa are kind of in the band, but they are all in awe at his bullshit like its part of some larger picture. They need to step up and question him sometimes
who gives a shit just read his lyrics and figure out what it means to you otherwise it doesn't mean anything. its his personal lyrics so the only way for you to understand is to understand it yourself.. same thing with any poetry or book.
I wonder what the song is about..perhaps corgan was referring to himself in his early goth (death rock boy..)days,and his struggle in music biz that started with the marked...`king of gloom`can be easily associated with billy
For corgan to attack gloomy people is ironic. I thought the song was about himself as what subject does anyone know best than themself? The lyrics here, like disarm, quiet and today, seem revelatory about the depths of some of his sadness or hints at something else about Corgan himself. BTW Quiet is awesome.
The song could also be about how he has escaped from the depths and here he is now happy and free.
I know what you're saying... those were good times. I hate to say this, but after Adore, Billy seemed to be something fake; not who he really is - I liked the original band, I miss James and Darcy...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I know what you mean by Billy being fake. The idea behind Adore was that they were going to do something 'different' with their music, but I think they jumped into the idea too fast and didnt let the music develop, and it didnt really sound like stuff they would create. I dont hate Adore, but I really think they shouldve messed around with it more to get their own sound, if that makes sense. And after that, he's just overthinking the process of songwriting, when he should have just done it.
yeh wouldnt it b awesome before the band dries out the full band does a tour of some sort hehe that we be fuckng awesome this my 3rd favourite sp lol soma is my first
Awesome performance 100%... i think BC's vocals are perfect and that he can sing. Singing should shape a song to portray a message and not hit notes for the sake of it (like in alot of pop n rnb songs. In this case he sung with emotion (yelling to stress the message which can be quite harder than normal singing at times) and he did a good job of it as well!
i gotta agree man, this song had the potential of a single. Mellon Collie probably would've had six or seven singles if Jimmy hadn't been nixed. Muzzle and Here is No Why should've been released as well.
Fender sells the Billy Corgan Stratocaster. Bad ass guitar.

The song could also be about how he has escaped from the depths and here he is now happy and free.

I know what you're saying... those were good times. I hate to say this, but after Adore, Billy seemed to be something fake; not who he really is - I liked the original band, I miss James and Darcy...

I know what you mean by Billy being fake. The idea behind Adore was that they were going to do something 'different' with their music, but I think they jumped into the idea too fast and didnt let the music develop, and it didnt really sound like stuff they would create. I dont hate Adore, but I really think they shouldve messed around with it more to get their own sound, if that makes sense. And after that, he's just overthinking the process of songwriting, when he should have just done it.

Awesome performance 100%... i think BC's vocals are perfect and that he can sing. Singing should shape a song to portray a message and not hit notes for the sake of it (like in alot of pop n rnb songs. In this case he sung with emotion (yelling to stress the message which can be quite harder than normal singing at times) and he did a good job of it as well!

There's cinism on one side and depressed idiots on the other,thank god wise people don't have to choose a side.Corgan is genuine.

i gotta agree man, this song had the potential of a single. Mellon Collie probably would've had six or seven singles if Jimmy hadn't been nixed. Muzzle and Here is No Why should've been released as well.

Jon Melvoin is the keyboardist in this video. We all know what happened to him.
