[nicolaswbw]

[QuarantineThePast]

[reinadeluz]

[lat3raldrift]

b0lly is high on X

[Exitmuzic]

OMG Corgan looks super doped

[Annetjie]

this song makes me want to smash shit up, :D

weather it be a chair, a TV, or my little sister's pet shitsu.

[SlimJ1980]

Great...good...then...seriousl­y..ghey attempt at knocking down the mic stand.

[peniosasdasd]

@SlimJ1980

I think he's trying to look robotic, it is down tempo anyway.

[SlimJ1980]

@peniosasdasd he looks about as robotic as Johnny 5. . he more reminds me of a geriatric on a rampage in a nursing home.. he looks a tad befuddled and unhinged. . lol .. and I was such a serious pumpkins fan back in the day so not intentionally trying to be offensive but man he looks and acts like shit in this vid. lol

[KingAdrock909]

GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!! DEMON voice

(then jabs at mic like a knight then realized.. wtf am i doing on stage?)

[poisonsara89]

billy corgan is the most fucking amazing man on the earth. There's a SP song for every moment in life, i'm pretty sure i'll never feel completely lonely if they're by my side.

[ryneldo]

Stoned. Billy can't drink hes alergic so he is stoned!

[visigoth33]

This song is perfect for days when you wanna punch a wall, flip a table or give someone a suplex.

[mercurymadhatter]

dude towards the end he was really losin it. High? Drunk? I dont even know, Stabbing the mic stick with the microphone seems pretty abnormal to me though.

[MrShimazu]

@mercurymadhatter Hey! It's because of the spirit of the music of course! He was just really into it!

[emonicolewhite]

I. Want. Billy's. Outfit!!

[dragonx13x]

the pumpkins still rule my world

[passamal666]

Evilish good!

[dasjerkstore]

This song is better than MOST women.

[ColoredPig]

I'm a die hard fan of the pumpkins, but I wish Billy sang this song better live. /:

It would be pretty hard to sing while playing the guitar on this song though.

[shittybullshit]

James is so fucking cool

[iendacard]

Quintessential Pumpkins. I love this song.

[MRmadmatt999]

did he just do like metal screams at the end

[DrownInGrace88]

@MRmadmatt999 yeah haha awesome !!!!

[DrownInGrace88]

had to watch it twice fuckin song made my dayyyyy , corgan is the father of hardcore hahah he did it at the end ,, GOOODDDDDDDDDDD BLESSSSSS YOUUU ALLLLLLLL lol

[DrownInGrace88]

Jimmy is a monster on the drums , fuckin pumpkins will always be my favorite band in the planet , someday id like to see iha , darcy , and jimmy come back , so they can resume to ruling the world !!!!!!!!!

[MrRocknroll205]

yeah dude mtv sucks. now its all .......yuck

[shweatyninja]

This song scares the shit out of me.

[techy75]

@shweatyninja funny how a love song can scare someone :o well thats what i think the category this song belongs to as far as meaning...

[6And7And3]

Ha Ha Fucken D'arcy Kicks Down The Mic

[MechanicalChrist1]

what is wrong with that crowd? if i even had one chance to hear this song live I would be going wild

[spjunkie]

I banged my head so hard to this back in the day. Disc 2 "Twilight to Starlight" track 9. Cd player on. Volume = Deafening.

[peniosasdasd]

Billy, why are you using your cab to strum your guitar? Silly Billy, your cab isnt made for that.

[PumpkinHead8]

most badass pumpkins performance of all time. soo sick

[Stampit88]

People who only liked 1979, probably shit themselves when they heard the metal fury of this damn good song. And not only does he scream, he actually death growl at the end. That's awesome. A lot of their songs had a metal influence. Love all their other shit too.

[kozalmighty]

4:23 says it all.

And into the eyes of the jackyl I say ka-boom!

[jcmark611]

Were the camera people all fags? Lets get some close up shots of D'arcy.

[isolado2]

I love this Courtney Love Corgan stile-singing

[AH1881]

amg lol darcy rage ftw lol kick dat mic square in da nuts

[euthinizedhope]

It's funny how his singing voice sounds nothing like his speaking voice

[revolutionarystudio1]

I Love this song. The best is when it slows down and if your not paying attention, you forget its playing. And then BOOM!!! it kick into full on rage. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

[starladear19]

I'll always be a fan of Corgan...and I actually like his new music...but he'll never be able to capture this raw emotion into a song again. by the way that drum fill at 3:32 is fucking ridiculous....

[garagsale]

fuck yeah. rock those silver pants uncle fester

[pissant75]

....DARCY RAGE!!!!! poor mic stand, this song is just totally aggresive...viva smashing pumpkins

quite the opposite of the now billy and the spirit in the sky thingy...hahahaha

[Treg]

probably the angriest Pumpkins song ever! But why is this in left channel mono?

[fightingfoos]

He shouldn't tap the guitar lightly against the mic stand, why is he so destructive?

[guitarguy447]

Poor Billy

[Alphabex8]

oh, look at that..back when mtv actually played fucking music

[Herbalaussie]

Yeah, I know. It's unbelievable, isn't it? LOL

[BrettDubs556]

yeah he looked pissed at the end because that song brings rage out in you. that song is hardcore

[potzahasee01]

This is when Billy remembered that he fuck Courtney Love... and went out of his mind.

[vera1989]

Pretty trippy at the end

[onebigfuse]

AND IN THE EYES OF A JACKAL I SAY KAAAAA-

[BufordSC]

@onebigfuse

"...inTO** the eyes of THE** jackal..."

[easternmind]

That was pretty weird at the end... He looked pretty irritated or something. Hmm!

[roxo33]

donde es este concierto??

[PersonalJesus348]

Rio de Janero

[roxo33]

increible!!

[maosaytounge49]

yes. beautiful.

[trevorkemske]

GOD BLESS U ALL!!!! hahaha!!!

[steamlocodriver]

Hell yeah hear he's death metal voice at the end, I have herd him do some deathy growls like tha before, and I love it. They have gone a bit soft, time they made another heavy as fuck album.

[heathparkes10]

Never get tired of Billy's freak out at the end lol.

[isiahzombie]

6:37 HAHA

and

7:43 HAHHAH

Why is h beating up the microphone stand?

[CFOREST44]

[luckytwentyseven]

[agusformol1]

dios, Billy Corgan deberia ser mi padre

[chibilua]

brasil make this with people. WILD BILLY CORGAN LOL *.*

Please Billy come back to Brasil

[cancerparty]

Ah, when Jimmy was still on smack.

[sikk21sawyer94slayer]

like what ones, all i know is XYU and bullet with butterfly wings ... what song do they scream the most in ???

[zvx490]

Umm..."Bodies," "Jellybelly," "Where Boys Fear to Tread," but most of all, "Tales of a Scorched Earth," he yells thru the whole song. All of them are on Mellon Collie; i think you should check them out-all are awesome and heavy ;D

[sikk21sawyer94slayer]

thanx man

[zvx490]

Oh, and a new one i discovered-it's called "God"

Lemme tell u right now, its one of the most amazing songs i've heard.

[sikk21sawyer94slayer]

awesome its amazing thanks man

[Grunge00125]

dude just listen to the whole mellon collie album it has some heavy songs. also machina/the machines of god has some heavy songs. oh and geek USA and Silverfuck are heavy on siamese dream. and Siva and Bury Me on gish are heavyish.

[rohiogerv22]

Hummer on Siamese Dream is pretty heavy in a sort of spacey way at the same time.

[zvx490]

No problemo, dude :D

[0strangehappenings0]

bodies, awsome song

[zvx490]

Oh, and don't forget "Zero" :)

[sikk21sawyer94slayer]

does he scream in any other songs ?

[zvx490]

A lot of them, as a matter of fact.

[Benvanheesch]

great performance, where is this?

[faintstarlight]

GREAT SONG/LOVE THEM!!

[pennyroyalT51]

Pumpkins still rule the world

[chinoces25]

best performance ever!!!!

[MoosicDude]

Christ! what is Billy on? I want some!

[MLXrox]

Agreed.

[PersonalJesus348]

some grade a Mellon Collie

[ebbv]

The discs were named "Dawn to Dusk" and "Twilight to Starlight" for CD, the album as a whole is "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" or just "Mellon Collie" (or whatever) for short.

[Diegun81]

I love this song.. Well, I love all Smashing Pump0kins song, but this is one of the best for me..

[SmellsLikeLithium]

billy looks like such a weakling when he jabs his microphone stand with the microphone! but seriously, there are not many bands that can beat that performance

[Herbalaussie]

Words cannot describe the beauty of this song.

[danizelda]

Fodas demais!

[daftshark]

my favorite pumpkins song

[anth711]

this is when mtv actually cared about the music 80s and early to mid 90s it kinda died at the end of the 90s ..i wish those days could come back god bless the 90s

[JudiciousEra]

I totally agree !

[gffrycole]

hahahaha...i love billy dude...hes fuking awsome!!!!

i love this video when it gets to the end..he needs to b tht crazy at every performance!!!!

[imdshiznit]

billy corgan is a great musician and great performer

even tho the original band we all know was great i feel he has a little more to offer

he just loves making music and thats all he wants to do to get out his feelings to exspress himself

[imdshiznit]

best fucking performance

[VikingChildren2]

around the five minute mark this song reminds me of the melvins so much. the fast part that follows into his scream then it slowing down. total melvins. and i love it

[SmellsLikeLithium]

that was the best sp performance i have ever seen, but just one criticism... his shot at the microphone stand with his guitar was weak, and then he jabbed at it with the microphone? anyway, ignore me, that performance was just legendary!

[FrxBass]

wow he was on drugs cant sound any better than that

[cancerparty]

Matt Walker did a great job with the Pumpkins after Jimmy got kicked out, but NO ONE should be allowed to play drums to this song except Jimmy Chamberlin.

[rswc55]

A fun Pumpkins fact of absolutely no relevance.

Apparently when they went on their first huge headlining tour, they tried spreading out across the stage like most big bands do. Well, they weren't used to that, had a bad show, thought they sounded like crap and thus sucked back in tight to one another.

Anyhoo.

[havanaklub]

pure craziness of a geniussss

[GolDHawK3x]

SICK

[Tfr3sh17]

Billy looks like voldimort*spelling?*

Never the less as awesome as allways.

[privateingga]

Sick..

[VladekMeyer83]

False ending is BAD ASS. I love this album.

[blooregardo]

Billy Corbin is scary. He somehow reminds me of Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now.

[lynch012]

Corgan you piece of shit.

[FrxBass]

ahah

[KDoc21]

amazing... best pumpkins album ever

[socedy02]

insane!

[kaneda010]

Fuck me - brilliant performance. Immense doesn't even begin to describe it.

[stevecato]

at his best..a lovely black to this song

[marshallthemiz]

R.I.P. MTV

[incarnateTheGreat]

"X.Y.U." was one of the songs I used to always skip on 'Mellon Cullie'. It's been YEARS and now that I give this track more attention, I fucking LOVE it.

[DrSmoothness]

FUCKING DEATHMETAL AT THE END

[blooregardo]

I think of them more as grunge, but whatever floats your boat.

[nate247420]

not really grunge but yeah drop d tuning same as grunge lol

[DrSmoothness]

Nah, grunge was like Nirvana and Soundgarden. The Pumpkins never sounded like either. They're their own music genre.

[FrxBass]

except this performance rock the shit and death metal sucks ashley simpsons' ass

[rafapumpkins]

muito bom

[russelgman]

BRING THIS BACK!

[Jigor1987]

can someone tell me when and where was this show?thanks

[saturnslament]

Brazil, 1996.

[bjthepumpkinguy]

billy gone nuts and d'arcy's attitude really shrugged the hell out of us. jimmy is god and james is cute with the football shirt.

[FluffyPorcupines]

he is so high and drunk DDD=

[musicweirdo1]

Billy's freakin insane

he's amazing

great performance

my idol for starting a rock band :]

[musicweirdo1]

Billy's amazing..i love his vocals..i hope i can meet him some day..

[bairrocorderosa]

[i2ad10head]

LMAO, I can't believe this was on MTV...WTF happened to MTV?

[levey24]

FVCKING RIGHT ON MATE!!!!!

[Watch4]

Lol, Darcy kicks the stand.

[sj73]

I have a feeling pumpkins WILL pwn XYU live real soon... seeing all the shit theyve played since May '07, im surprised they havent played XYU!

[camobaby]

Pumpkins would pwn XYU live now

[WeeklyComicReview]

the ending is most bizarre but probably the best live pumpkins video on youtube

[Camman2435]

the pumpkins can be a hardcore metal band if they wanted. lol

[Albtraum13]

idk about "hardcore" but I could definitely see them playing a style of metal along the lien sof My Dying Bride.

Billy's vocals are amazing.

[ScarTissuetwo]

hell yes

[FluffyPorcupines]

YES!

[PumpkinHead8]

gosh he goes crazy and destroys everything.

Soo sooo ssoooooo sick.

[wuzasometina]

why does billy taunt her so much? seems pretty abusive

[WesterFaust]

Now we begin descent, to where we've never been! Ahhhh! Pumpkins forever.

[deedee9]

i can totally see this on mtv today

[macabregemini]

haha, right? my, how things have changed

[coscheee]

cómo prentenden que no quiera romper todo???

[brianssurplus]

Damn thats so good. That song just does something to me. I love it and it's been years since I've heard it. It's like sex after a long prison term. Not that I've done time' but it's been so long since I've heard this.

[uberblazed421]

corgan+chamberlin divided by darcy-iha=APC

[bryneyk]

D'arcy showed that mic stand what the fuck is up!

[musicweirdo1]

when does she kick it or whatever?

i always miss it :/

[bryneyk]

in the beginning, she kicks something and you hear a loud thump

[musicweirdo1]

ohhh now i see it..thnx

idk how i could have missed that :/

lol thnx

[3arthpower]

I would love to know what must have happened to get her so pissed off. Maybe she was just trying to get in the right mood for the song. Angry D'arcy ROCKS!

[enigma1984]

Dude, like 10 years ago a was so fucking jelaous of people that were able to watch mtv in their homes, i can even say i had respect for mtv. Now mtv is just shit, they dont even play music anymore just stupid reality shows, and hip hop shit and all that kind of crappy music.

I went to the smashing pumpkins concert 1 week ago in Costa Rica ^___________^. It was awesome, too bad they didnt play this song.

[switzerlicious]

That's a dead on Freddy Krueger impersonation at the end.

[sunnydalehighdropout]

the best final 3 minutes to any song ever.

[eddysama]

Amazing!!!!!!!

The best band ever

[WilheminaMurray]

fucking good!!!

And in the eyes of the Jakall I said KaaabOOOOM!!!!

[Zdog122]

my favorite pumpkins song!!! SWEEEEEET!!!

[yayparade]

sick

[1HoneHeke1]

Yea seems really weird that MTV was so behind this kinda music and what MTV is now things have changed so much...............

[hammy022]

Friggin' word. During the 90's MTV supported some good rock/alternative groups.. now it's total shit.

[chrisfuller1]

at the end he sounds like the fucking devil, sick:D

[PumpkynHead]

when mtv could be watched

[marrodfo]

I'm going to see them live in April, can't wait...

[julesboy777]

Me too.

[blindseba]

lucky =(

[DavEnzoF1]

Great song! First time I heard it though, (unconsciously) I wanted to strangle kittens. Especially after he screams, "in the eyes of a jackal..." Now where's Fluffy? (by the way, TOTALLY KIDDING!!! Calm down Rainbow McDolphin and PETA)

[allanvendetta]

._.

;D

[pallokko]

i remember seeing this on MTV! HOLY SHIT!!!!

[dezer117]

Yeah When MTV aired actual music now its a bumch of reality crap

[SamMelhorn]

FUCKING AMAZING. i dont know which live performance i like better live, XYU or i am one, cuz thats great live too, especially with the rant. but for this big a show how many watts you think each of them are playing out of? any ideas? they each have some decent stacks

[FrxBass]

I say Drugz On Billy makes him better,then the crowd can go wild

[FrxBass]

Loll billy's face at the start makes me laugh each time lolll
