When this video started, I could not tell you how into it I was. So badass...
Then right after 0:45 it felt like somebody had just puked all over my face. Why would Billy Corgan puke on my face?!?!? Oh yeah, that's right, he's done that with every other song I've tried to listen to. You had such a good thing going :( Once that guitar vomit continued just after 1:30, I had to stop the video... nobody can tell me his singing on top of that bullshit added anything beneficial.
@ShopliftersUnite I am assuming you're musically savvy... with that said, I challenge you to play this video and block out all instrumentals and just listen to pumpkin pukes voice. With that accomplished, add the instrumental pumpkin puke adds around 1:30 that any prepubescent boy could accomplish with his balls across strings. Billy puke face pumpkin dick ruined the song with all of his contributions. Take him out and enjoy the real talent that makes the band.
@Williama15k You need to shut the fuck up and realize that Billy's voice is raw, hard, heavy, emotional, and energetic. As opposed auto tuned, generic, boring, and wimpy. Son you can take all of you pop rock, pop punk, rap, pop music, and shitty pop country and go to hell with it. I will take my Fender Stratocaster, Fuzz Box, and Amp and play slunk on your grave.
@nicholsjoshua15 Listen fanboy, just attempt what I suggested earlier to @ShoplifersUnite. If you still feel the same way about SP then by all means, play it at your wedding for all I care. Just trying to help you see.

On a side note, the Nirvana videos you uploaded... did you find the original album cover too offensive? The Nevermind CD I have has a sticker that reads; "If you're offended by this, you must be a closet pedophile." Something I thought a fan of "raw/original" would understand.
@Williama15k Oh okay, now I remember what I said, it's been so long I forgot about you retarded ass. Anyway I do think Billy has a great voice. Can you imagine anyone else singing Disarm, United States, Thirty Three, I Am One, or Ava Adore? And as for the Nirvana album I posted, no I didn't get offended at the album art, that's just a cool picture. Of course you would use the album art because you can't think for your self. Oh and by the way if you hate Sp why watch them?
Such an amazingly powerful and layered song, has an apocalyptic vibe to it. This and That's The Way rate among their very best, up there with 90's Pumpkins material.
@jsh020 Maybe mellon collie. The notable SP material in my opinion is there first two albums and to a lesser extent mellon collie. You could really hear the fiery passion and energy that was common at this time among musicians of the X generation. You don't have that here or in the other song you mentioned. I love this band. I was huge fan fifteen years ago, but to be honest I just yawn hearing songs like this and other newer material. But, if this is what you really enjoy by them then great!!
@whpriol1 the only problem with their new stuff to me is that they dont get heavy anymore, also have you heard Teargarden by Kaleidyscope, that sound slike old SP all around,
@jsh020 I mean this song gets heavy, but it's the passion and energy lacking like I suggested in my last comment. I find this song quite stale and uninspiring. The drumming is super as others have noted. As for the band you compared to earlier Pumpkins I do not know them. I'll check this group out)).
no, Jimmy was fired in '96 for drugs & their keyboardist at the time died of overdose. In in 1999 Jimmy came back, but D'arcy left...thus the arrival of Melissa, than in 2000 they all disbanded. In 01 is when Jimmy & Billy started up as Zwan (but that didn't last) Eventually they reunited in '06. But Jimmy is again not in the lineup currently. So essentially the last Pumpkin standing is just Billy. James is in a band called Tinted Windows, & D'arcy is still a hot mess :( Still <3 em tho!
@jackpot277 the irony? this song is all about american people fighting for true freedom it has nothing to do with communism rofl, you illiterate fuck.
US Billboard 200[58] 2 New Zealand RIANZ Albums Chart[59] 1 Canadian Albums Chart[60] 1 UK Albums Chart[61] 4 Irish Albums Chart[62] 5 Swiss albums chart[63] 5 Italian albums chart[63] 5 German Albums Chart[64] 7 Dutch albums chart[63] 7 Australian albums chart[65] 7 Portuguese albums chart[66] 7 Danish albums chart[67] That's the chart for zeitgeist. If you think you can do any better then go start your own legendary band.
pantera- 13 steps to nowhere... nuf said. the intro fills that jimmy plays in this are just about the exact same as in the song just mentioned, which are played by vinnie paul... just putting it out there
@jdc185 You might be right, I don't know that song off the top of my head, but Jimmy Chamberlain could take Vinnie Paul to school as far as drumming goes...just putting it out there.
@endocry yeah i wouldn't deny that, depends on what style though, considering vinnie's foot techniques. Rather than comparing them I think it's okay to say they're both great at what they do and leave it at that...
not to mention jimmy playing one of his best songs. a whole song of the most awesome fills ever. read where billy said he played it in one take for tha record? jimmy....
why is the crowd so fucking dead. like there just standing there like "great song.....yeah i love it" but there not even jumping up and down and shit like wtf this is SP not some pussy band.
Because all the seats up front were like $1000 plus dollars, some selling on ebay for 5-10 grand. A lot of older rich new yorkers, and lame celebs like Randy Jackson also this is after 6-7 hrs in the hot sun all day.
I learned how 2 play this song on guitar but i dont know what destortion pedal billy is using sadly! Does anyone know what destortion pedal he is using?
If I'm not mistaken, he isn't using anything different in this song effect wise as compared to his normal setup for the heavier songs in the set. (Zero, Bullet, etc)
The primary difference in the tone is the change of guitar. He pulls out the Schecter for United States and it's the only song that he uses it with. The guitar has active Seymour Duncan Blackouts, and that's why it sounds so thick and powerful.
So if you're after the tone, you're out of luck if your guitar lacks actives.
@skizmsucks23 It's a Diezel Herbert head. I just bought one used for $2900. New they cost around $4000. Pedals are usually crap for live tone unless you're just boosting a head with an OD pedal.
@spguitar And Billy being known for his signature sound from the JCM with the KT88's, but I really like the sound of the Diezel on this album. And I don't understand all the criticism of this album, there are some killer songs on it.
I'd say for pre-breakup songs, Jimmy would have been kind of replaceable, but on Zeitgeist and everything after, he really kicked it up, gonna be hard to imitate.
there is nothing billy can do about him leaving and if you didnt know billy is already writing songs for the next album.
And why does it piss you off so much im sure if you saw them you would still love to hear today, zero, bwbw, to name a few so maybe its a good idea keeping the smasshing pumpkins name so that they can do this and hey who can complain about ginger lol fiiiiiiiiiiiitttt
Like "The Aeroplane Flies High," this is one of those Pumpkins songs that's totally awesome, but would never get any air play because it's too long. It's a shame.
FOL wasnt MEANT to be felt on the same emotional level as the rest of SP's work. It's not selling out. It's written in a different way, with a different purpose. The only thing I'm angry about is how Today made its way onto a Visa commercial. If this was Billy's own doing, it's a shame. However, I also know he's at odds with his old record company, so it could be the result of that also. However, in any manner, I don't think he's sold out, just changed his logic, which he does frequently.
rock am ring 2oo7 was the show of the faggots,good charlote, MY chemical romance, likin park,30 Seconds to Mars etc i hope the 2008 play coll rock and roll like marilyn manson or slipknot at least
Id say that's probably not an easy song to perform live but they had no problems just fully nailed it definitely my favorite from the zeitgeist album..............dam it woulda been cool to be there!
deliciously awsome!! One of the best live performance vdeo I've seen in awhile. Great song and Billy kills it with a united states anthem in the solo, A1.
I was there too and they played an amazing show. The ending was great...but I didn't know who the kickass hippie guitar player was who was jammin out with them at the end was.
i heard this song the other day playing in a record shop and my and my friend thought it was class, so she recorded it on her phone and in like 20 seconds it was able to identify what the song was. and i had to come home and listen to it!!! it's so amazing.
this is why smashing pumpkins got so big. thier originality, and lets face it, who other that billy corgan get away with 2 1/2 minutes of feedback eh?
also, HOW THE FUCK DID ZETGIEST ONLY GET 2 OUTA 5 K'S?
I saw these guys in Columbus, and it was the best show I've ever fucking seen. 2 encores, and a Star-Spangled Banner in this song, and Eruption in Heavy Metal Machine. Fucking ridiculous.
did ya know he actually broke a pair of cymbals in the original recording of "Starz"? If ya listen to the drums in that song you pretty much understand. He's been in the band since the beginning and in Zwan so i bet he's pretty strong.
People say 1979 was the best song written by the Smashing Pumpkins,but those people probslbly didn't hear this song yet.United States is the best song written by them.Hope I see them in Philly
I miss Jimmy man!!!!! AGHHHHHHHHHH

I saw these guys in Columbus, and it was the best show I've ever fucking seen. 2 encores, and a Star-Spangled Banner in this song, and Eruption in Heavy Metal Machine. Fucking ridiculous.

did ya know he actually broke a pair of cymbals in the original recording of "Starz"? If ya listen to the drums in that song you pretty much understand. He's been in the band since the beginning and in Zwan so i bet he's pretty strong.

He has been in long before that. I got kicked out of the band during a tour for ava adore for drug use. He has since cleaned up his act so I hear.
