[Heartless473]

[Metalehiro]

I LOVE 90's

[IamTheScorchedEarth]

@weasleherpies The song is called 1979, the year in which this concert happened is 1996, and they started in the lat 1989. The song is called like that because at the time, billy was probably 17 or 18 and since the song is about youth it seemed appropriate.

[jorock01]

@IamTheScorchedEarth Billy was actually 12 or 13 at that time since he was born in 1967

[IamTheScorchedEarth]

@jorock01 Oh well my bad, I apologize :)

[jorock01]

@IamTheScorchedEarth It's alright :)

[Mr13born79]

Ya...I guess it does. Still, she sounds terrible here.

[Mr13born79]

Does this even have harmony on the studio version? God...D'arcy is awful on this.

[wangm3ist3rG]

Darcy sounds like someone's given a microphone to a 'special' child and they're giving it their best.

[KittyLilyy]

@wangm3ist3rG ^^ Day = made

[wrally09]

One musician that has always sounded the same! Unlike todays modern day sellouts

[DANCINGKLAUS]

RIP Jonathan Melvoin

[NEXUSXEMNAS23]

Darcy mustve had her ears filled with wax cuz if she had heard herself she wouldve shut the fuck up lol

[magsthemagnificent]

Darcy's smiling because they finally turned her microphone on. Now that i've heard her, i want that shit turned back off again. Can i get an AMEN??

[karolecampesine]

[daspoooop]

@karolecampesine i think it was alot more enjoyable, todays music is .. well it cannot be compared to it

[MrDobbry]

[Deanobucko917]

Probably sounds like shit as she's high as a kite!

[danrichards93]

[RolloNoir]

I like that subtle keyboard touch on this song. what type of guitar is Billy playing?

[jcoriha]

@RolloNoir It is a custom Ibanez. He auctioned it for a charity years ago.

[jcoriha]

@RolloNoir It's a custom Ibanez. Billy auctioned it for a charity a few years ago.

[RolloNoir]

@jcoriha thanks for the info,it's a very cool looking guitar.

[JohnnyOutlaw100]

I like billy with hair. He's so much good looking with it.

[malniax]

[DieHardGardenFan]

D'arcy my love ♥ I don't care how bad you sound you're still my bass goddess.

[selenanguyen89]

D'Arcy sounds worse than Linda McCartney! :-0

[metalheadkev10]

[Ising4u93]

[godwhyisthistaken]

[SWAMPskate]

@godwhyisthistaken i think his hair fell off.....

[MissingStrings]

What guitar is Billy using in this?

[widdy8]

@MissingStrings Looks like some variation of a Fender Telecaster

[claudiok71]

[geekusa201]

[guyanaboi122]

lol IN STOORE

[manka6]

D'arcy sounds fine to me.

[youmomhowdo]

D'arcy is gorgeous, but... Gosh. Someone needs to turn down her mic.

[psnapplebee]

worst stage banter ever

[FraterSolzai]

D'arcy's hot but she cant harminize?

[raskoinikov92]

did he said something with PERU at 0:14... actually I cant recognize what that he's saying :S

[MaghoxFr]

@raskoinikov92 crew not Perú, I think he says: "he's part of our crew"

[SomdomguyXD]

@raskoinikov92 "part of our crew"

[JamesTKirkCobain]

This is before the Karaoke scene took over music, the Karaoke scene that was started by that fucking cunt Madonna who inexplicably is in the Rock and Roll hall of fame. Must have cost her a lot of bucks for that. She is in but the Stray Cats who actually play Rock and Roll, as pure as it gets, aren't.

[manka6]

@JamesTKirkCobain ... Do you have any idea what you're talking about?

[BorgKing001]

Back when music was great

[flazartic]

1:40 - if i was the microphone i'd be really scared right now.

[jjavie74]

I Think that is a great band than o more like nirvana, but Corgan not died young , and then they are infravalored. Sorry for my english.

[snower5554]

i loled at sttoooor.

[RCTPatriot75]

When I was an high school in 91-95, If you would have asked me who is the one woman in the world you most want to sleep with? Without hesitation the answer was D'arcy.

[CjScott101]

[gmilf71]

Billy's teeth........

[MARTINBENITO]

Uncle Fester!!!

@raispartapa I bet d'arcy was baked as billy was obviously

AWSOME

[DieHardGardenFan]

God Damn it I love D'arcy, I don't care how bad her backup vocals were in this video, she's so beautiful.

[tricuspid]

james is a sloppy player.,but who cares,they were the Smashing Pumpkins!

[Barisella123]

Awesome song! Smashing Pumpkins Rule :)

Doesn't that kid at 2:11 look like Kurt Cobain from the back? At first I was like Kurt!! But then I looked at the date this was filmed (1996) and I realized poor Kurt had already been dead 2 years:( ....

[soulofbass]

is tat darcy on harmony? sounds like a man, and it is NOT good lol. if im billy im like man, this sucks, just stfu darcy if you cant even sing the freakin harmony. total energy drainer

[peanutboy20]

D'arcy can't sing for shit in this vid...but damn is she hot...

[csmelen]

I'm with you my friend. Something about D'arcy draws the viewer to her. Maybe it's the dark eyes. I love em!

[420Guitar420]

She may have been on something or drunk because in other videos D'arcy can clearly sing.

[nobbiedog]

god knows why,she really isnt that pretty....but i troll this vid for a glimps of our darcy..she has a hold over me and i love it

[1030108]

Darcy is not on stage for her musical abilities as she proved in this video.

[tacosnachosburritos]

D'Arcy sounds AWFUL!!!

[tacosnachosburritos]

D'Arcy sounds AWFUL!!!

[atlasisbestteam]

2:15 that beautiful smile

[MrWOWRandall]

despite her voice, Darcy is 100% BABE!

[thespank117]

billy corgan is the shit but i never noticed how bad the bassist was at singing...good bassist...bad vocalist.

[Muzzle138]

shes not a bad singer dude check out the song daydream on gish.

[Pamolko]

whats with the fucked up comment 'bout Placebo anyway? u hater!!! I bet you don't even know 20 songs of 'em so ..... whatever

[Pamolko]

yes they inspired Brian Molko, actually they are pretty good friends as well :)

[poopcheese121]

the girl bass player and her bad vocals ruined that song for me

[Sevenchappels]

Smashing Pumpkins inspired a lot Brian Molko

[twixxxer]

so what? they're incomparably better than placebo

[Sevenchappels]

I said, that they inspired Molko...

[thecureye]

@Sevenchappels my 2 fave bands ever

[ms171819]

its so nice to see darcy smiling she is so cute i wished she still looked like this

[MrHankyTheXmasPoop]

"morphine city slipping NUDES" 2:33

[Saintgutfree524]

I like the synth.

[marco333999]

1:42 : remind me the movie : The mummy.

[when34567]

@marco333999

how does it remind you of the mummy?? the noise?

[marco333999]

the noise... but also the mouth, generally.. but to be more specific : teeth.

It a great song by the way, and a great version.

[keauxgeigh]

those were the days

[3939allen]

damn i wanna steal james's rickenbacker

[daidi0121]

Rickenbacker's were used by pop artist in the 80's like Tom Petty and George Harrison. Never I would have imagined that an actual talented guitarist like James Iha would play it, and so awesome.

[spudster05]

@daidi0121  are you saying george harrison has no talent?

[daidi0121]

James Iha compared to George Harrison. I prefer James. Dunno... I just don't like the Beatles and their music.

[DetexD]

yes thats what it mean

[RazrXxx]

billy's shirt is the shit. it looks sick as hell

[marco333999]

great !

[carliboy908]

Lol Billy has fixed his teeth now I think. Great performance

[zombiking97]

what is wrong with his teeth??

[elloganful]

d´arcy doesn´t sing on tune in here. but great song anyway

[leochestertrudel]

JAMES

[CjScott101]

i like the naked man that ran across the stage and makin D'arcy Smile she is sooooooo cute when she smiles

[leochestertrudel]

D'arcy is good looking, good bassist. But bad singer.

[StrafingMoose]

@leochestertrudel

She actually sounds like a man... Now, that's what I call bad.

[SWAMPskate]

@leochestertrudel no way u b*** there singer is singer is really f**kin unique. His voice makes guys like me (bit of a weird voice) able to sing and still be fine.

sry for my language

[WataAtaCrackah]

@SWAMPskate D'arcy is a woman (the blonde girl playing bass) He was talking about her not Billy Corgan

[BACKWARDSgameREVIEWS]

@SWAMPskate I pretty sure he was talking about the girl.

[youmomhowdo]

@leochestertrudel She sounds fine on the albums. I don't know where her voice went live. Or maybe they just edited the fuck out of her on the CDs.

[ObscuredJellybelly]

@youmomhowdo She's just high as fuck on this one. :P

[atrxroller]

darcy has a cute smile

[vampire891208]

james is so cool

[ericpombo]

darcy is a beautiful bassist.. smashing pumpkins without her is not a band complete

[fallingintothesky]

She doesn't play in that part of the song, twat.

[funkadelic1992]

LOOK

at darcy not even playing, dumb bitch

[louiscfc93]

considerin she isnt a trained singer and is probably exhausted (she looks tired as fuck) she is doin pretty good.and she can play bass brilliantly so stfu

[ionaustin]

lol germany half of them cant even understand what the hell billy is saying

[ChristBurner]

........what?

[MattaTatta92]

do you even understand what he's saying? since you can speak english?

[Ridethelightnin69]

lol her voice is fucked but shes a mean player

[govikes39]

Billy needs to see a dentist. though he could open beers without an bottle opener.

Darcy is a twat...

[funkadelic1992]

fuck darcy

[SleepyMuse24]

darcy cant sing for shit lmao but she can sure play bass!

[tommyboy349]

That doesn't even look like Darcy...and yes, she sounds horrible.

[UKNOWIT88]

darcy laughing at that kid running around on stage is such a pure moment caught on film.

[jo21389]

awesome

[420Guitar420]

@UKNOWIT88 In the video I watched before this one she flicked someone off in the crowd lol.

[dadadruma]

@UKNOWIT88 i know most other rockers would of freaked out she was just smiling away and thinking cool man

its a nice GREEN way of enjoying your surroundings he he he

[mrzerodocfan]

Descendant of Corganism at Amazon

[ser89ers]

what's that "noise" during the guitar riff??is it a voice or an effect??

[streamwirelive]

apparently, while recording 1979, billy was humming along to those parts, and they decided to record it. so that sound is his humming.

[ser89ers]

wow thanks man :D

[imdshiznit]

stupid ass bloodyeyes91

your wrong the shirt was a actual zero skateboarding shirt.he liked it and tried to make it his own because he liked it so much.then he desiged his own

he actually owned 3 of them

so fuck you

im with runnersdialzero33

[Kobeownzu81]

i was gunna say theres a skate company called zero

[CannibalisticSeamen]

D'arcy, less singing

More showing me your boobs :)

[masterofpuppets186]

one of the better live versions out there...

[onetwothreefourfight]

D'arcy,

Shut up.

[cafeledavid]

yes she sucks :)

[BloodyEyes91]

I wear my zero shirt all the time and nobody even knows that its a smashing pumpkins shirt, they think its a skate brand shirt. Idiots.

[kinetiksilence]

um, actually zero is a skate brand shirt. Zero skateboard co. was created by Jamie Thomas in 95 if i remember correctly. Im from Carlsbad CA which is where the company started, My older bro skated with Chris Cole and Adrian Lopez, Idiot

[BloodyEyes91]

Uh no, Billy's Zero shirt has nothing to do with some stupid skating label.

Why would a legend like Billy Corgan want to look like a fucking billboard for some stupid company?

[kinetiksilence]

either way. Who gives a shit! its a shirt.
