The Smashing Pumpkins - The Everlasting Gaze

[rockxaction]

@stupidrider53

If I remember right, it's because he was balding anyway

[mhonjade]

Billy corgan is the best forever...

[PrinceRufus2]

Youtube Smashing Pumpkins playlist. Picture: David Bowie O.O

[Tarten46]

@stupidrider53 they did some good things for charity,etc. but egos really got in the way in between siamease dream and infinite sadness. fame takes its toll...

[Tarten46]

@stupidrider53 Because Billy wants everyone to note his big brain. Shame really he's incredibly talented, arguably one the finest musicans of all time, but very full of himself. Siamese dream post tour seems to be where he started to elevate himself to god status.Man the pumpkins were on they're game that tour. Melt your face and wee down your leg good.Then the entire band began to slowly unravel; shaved head, more heroin use, etc. Which got worse after ...infinite sadness" release.

[sickstar14]

@Tarten46 really? do u know him personally?

[Tarten46]

@sickstar14 its easy being crammed into a world of mediocre when you are brimmed full with natural talent?there are few people born with the gifts billy has. even the mediocre stumble with their load. the guy is a musical genious. a true perfectionist of his craft. he falls and rises like the rest of us.

[1nf1n1ty777]

Voldemort hast started a rockband!

[firedevotion]

Billy Corgan >>>>>>>>>> Marilyn Manson.

Just saying.

[kalvo17]

EGG HEAD WTF ! i get scared with that fancy moves

[marcelcruzeiro]

weird break, I like it.

[discardmyfriends]

thumbs up to wish a Happy Birthday to Billy and Mellissa!!

[komunista94]

@mrsademokid agreed. or a cenobite.

[manringj]

epic guitar slams at the end

[cactustactics]

Y'know this sounds pretty good for a 240p video, I don't know what that says about Machina's production

[alexandrauva]

why did Melissa leave them?

[Topguner97]

If i'm horny i get laid.

if im depressed i get makers mark.(because i live in Kentucky)

If i'm high i watch smashing pumpkins.

[SonyMusicManiac]

damn he's so hot!

[OnlySeanJohn]

kinda looks like marylin manson..... sorta

[Slashandcarry]

@OnlySeanJohn I'd say he's rocking the Ming The Merciless look actually.

[AidenForLife]

billy corgan has the sexiest head in the world.

just sayin.

[megadong2247]

@AidenForLife its only cause he is famous.

[liquidrage]

probably the most descriptive video description i've seen yet. amazing.

[NeatStuff86]

@liquidrage ROFL nice dude

[mkmk111able]

@liquidrage haha i literally just lol'd.

[alanatuna]

i loved it when everything stopped.♥

[ShedskinTalon]

@alanatuna

Really? I loved it when everything was still going..

[alanatuna]

@ShedskinTalon i mean at 2:48 ! lol

[silverfoxtrot13]

@ShedskinTalon @alanatuna I loved it when it stopped & when it was still going :-D

[Annihal101]

Holy shit, the guitar at the end. My favorite part of the song. As a newbie to the Smashing Pumpkins, what other songs of theirs are as heavy as this one?

[miteyboosh23]

@Annihal101 You can try XYU, Silverfuck, Cherub Rock, Bullet with Butterfly Wings, The End Is The Beginning Is The End, Tarantula To name a few : )

[joeyisgoed]

@Annihal101

You should check out Jellybelly.

[OrangeSpaceboy]

@Annihal101 Check Lucky 13, XYU, Tales of a Scorched Earth, Silverfuck, Zero, Bodies, Where Boys Fear to Tread... But you know, the Pumpkins are great because they can do soothing, beautiful, sad songs AND heavy songs. It would be a "shame" to listen only to the heavy songs. :)

[alnewton8]

i didn't know dr. evil could sing

[alnewton8]

i didn't know dr. evil could sing

[spankangelgirl]

Man!!!

James looks so Fucking Hot here

(Homer face thinking of doughnuts)

[eric1993v]

3:52 Billy's smashing his guitar from over his head. that would make a SICK POSTER !!

[jellyboy123]

think the band was ok with out James and D'arcy it all went down hill after Jim left.

finding a good drummers like finding a winning lottery ticket on a train they don't come around very often.

everyone's a drummer but finding a good drummers very hard indeed.

[SaraAnne01]

smashing pumpkins- machina/ machines of the gods released in 2000

[iGrunt]

I don't remember this song. When was this released? o_O

[lalachio99]

Good tune but the dynamic ain't the same without Jim, James and D'arcy. Can't beat the old crew.

[bluuueyes]

what album is this on???

[23KINGOFSTING23]

bullet with butterfly wings is the best they got

[MetalKappa93]

excuse my ignorance, but what the hell is a C.O.G.?

[mkempey]

@MetalKappa93 It's like a gear.

[paulozerati]

@MetalKappa93 Child of God, Child of Glass, Creation of God,etc

[KnightOfAmarCostume]

101ppl are deaf

[MustacheDonkey]

billy corgan looks like dr. evil

[fackingshutup]

2:05 pause it.

[marcoazara2104]

che botta questa canzone! adrenalina pura!

[kstoughton]

sorry i have to say after the mellon collie album this band went to shit!!!!!

[PunKoverZ]

@kstoughton Listen to Song For A Son (new song, not too bad)

[tjbayliss]

Fucking filthy bassline

This takes me back to the 90s!

[hasanybodygot]

2:48 - 3:01 is the best!

[tjbayliss]

@hasanybodygot THE FICKLE FASCINATION OF AN EVERLASTING GOD YOU KNOW I'M NOT DEAD!

[hasanybodygot]

@tjbayliss I'm beging to like you!

[TheOnezus]

I think they decided to put on 10lbs. of makeup and say "fuck the image" and do what they felt like in this video

[mikeplaid]

This song is straight up fucking metal at the end. If Billy Corgan wasn't such of a egotistical prick I'd say he should start a metal band, and this is coming from a long time fan.

[The420KushKing420]

We all want to hold in the ever lasting gaze, Enchanted in a Rapture of a sentimental sway

[darkravenstories]

@Granada777

was she originally blonde? or am i thinking of another person?

[natanoriel]

@darkravenstories you're thinking of D'Arcy, former member. Dunno the name of this bass player girl, but she aint D'Arcy.

[dougthealligator]

@natanoriel thats melissa auf der maur

[natanoriel]

@dougthealligator THATS a helluva cool name.

[AdrianHiitman]

Good old instruments-smashing MV.

[ornelle8]

melissa auf dre maur a la basse yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The420KushKing420]

@ornelle8 Schel

[DougazP]

"This guy" has a name! It's Billy Corgan!

[dandan246810]

I miss bands like this :( bring back the 90's!

And also, bring back the joys of music festivals in the 90's. (yes you australia!)

[araxen]

<3 this song. One of their best!

[The420KushKing420]

This guy is wack as fuck but hey makes good music XDD

[squishy949]

E bass string tuned down to C

Sounds DANK

[mrcommador]

this bands like a drug once you try it you cant stop

[guyanaboi122]

best band ever....

[forgiventimes]

Is this the same singer,just with no hair?

[elaboraterevenge996]

@forgiventimes yeah it is.. he's bizzare looking, huh? Still hes a badass guitarist/vocalist.

[mrcommador]

ozzy's the prince of darkness and this is the king

[TheCreepsAreAlright]

Everything looks cool in a fish-eye lens.

[TheJari23]

love the guitar @ 3:25 sounds Crazy F$#@ love it

[vividextra]

@Granada777 I've seen this video countless times and never noticed that before, proper funny!!! Great vision!!! :)

[IRaPeluks]

i wanna gnaw on billy's perfectly round white head.

[meganchester84]

I forgot Darcy wasn't with them anymore at this point :( Fuck this other bitch for not being Darcy. While I'm at it, FUCK all these retards calling Billy "Voldemort" on all the Pumpkins videos. Go troll somewhere else.

[SoWachuWan]

@meganchester84 it's called a joke. Music is part of life, and life doesn't always have to be serious.

[STIRKDAWG]

@meganchester84 What is Voldemort? Why are you kids such fucking dorks? What is that? Some kind of World of Warcraft reference or something? I'm sick of that shit. If you're hanging out in your parents' basement, you'd better damn-well be learning to play an instrument. UGH.

[tm7111]

@STIRKDAWG lol its a character from harry potter haha. and no im in my parents basement because the computers down here and technically i cant leave the house for another 5 years :O no computer no listening to this

[cronosbray]

@Granada777 I saw that too. Awesome!

[edbaron95]

Billy Corgan has to be one of the weirdest-looking guys thats generally famous...but he is a genius. side note, he kinda goes on a mini-rap there for a sec doesnt he?

[0248959]

@Granada777 It lends itself quite well to "The Everlasting Gaze" !

[airwalkcrazy360]

1:09-1:14, 2:02, do I detect a hint of shoegaze? Noticed it the first time I listened to this album in late 2000, being a gazer myself...had a feeling Billy would move in that direction after examining Adore after being high and being a pissed off teenager. Now I'm a ghost in the head....thanks Corgan for flowing towards my tastes...

[metal666metal300]

i cant play with gloves D:

[SoWachuWan]

is it just me or does his dance moves seem... controlled and possessed? o.0

[TRISTAN029]

I love MADAM

[vividextra]

Check 'Convalescence Kid:Nothing left to lose' it's pretty coo!l

[zerotowatch]

Billy Corgan must be related to powder.

[bluuueyes]

@zerotowatch how is he related to powder? who's powder? I dont get it!

[zerotowatch]

@bluuueyes powder is an old movie released in 1995. The main character is a bald pale white guy that was born when his mother was struck by lighting.

[crusadernm]

its a movie about an albino kid with special electricity powers. Google Powder the movie.

[CrimsonGetsu]

We want Jimmy and Darcy back!

[KnightOfAmarCostume]

@CrimsonGetsu We need the old Billy.

[CrimsonGetsu]

@KnightOfAmarCostume the one with the hair??

[SoWachuWan]

its just not the same without the asian guy and the chick. not the same.

[azian32]

I remember when i was 15 after school i would rush home and watch all my Smashing Pumpkins Dvds and RHCP Dvds and in that instants life didn't matter because my mind and soul was with these guys. makes me wish life was as simple as it was back then...

[extmalcolm]

These comments are exactly why comments shouldn't be on youtube, ignorant people.

[MrDrinkice]

@extmalcolm thank you. If one more person dares to put Gerard Way in the same category as Billy Corgan i'm going to go spare. evidently good music and good taste are dead

[kozak1979]

100% adrenaliny świetny kawałek

[DrPlatypusStarcraft]

) Hold your breath.

2) Copy all of these steps.

3) Go to two other video.

4) Paste it in the comments.

If you can do all of this without breathing you're a good pot smoker

[mrlee192]

I cant tell, is James Iha and Jimmy Chamberlin on this album?

i know d'arcy was gone by this point

[Baphomet417]

@mrlee192 apparently you don't know what any of them look like, otherwise the video would answer your moronic question, noob.

[mrlee192]

@Baphomet417 dude. chill out.. I havent seen any videos by the pumpkins from their later era. Im used to the early 90s videos. Iha looks alot different, with the make up n the glammy clothes. I didnt expect it to be him, n you dont really get to see his face in this video either..just hair. So chill. And frankly, i dont trouble myself knowing what every band member looks like in what video. I just listen to the music and enjoy it, which is the main point of any band... i hadnt heard this album

[STIMPLEstamp11]

@Baphomet417 I know hes such a nooblet HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA shucks are we just the coolest

[Baphomet417]

@STIMPLEstamp11 hmm, do I dectect a hint of sarcasm here? haha

[willmcloone1]

@Baphomet417 I should hope so, cuz I'm laying it on pretty thick. ;)

[Baphomet417]

@willmcloone1 well, to be honest, I don't blame you...in fact that was actually the first time I ever used the term "noob" on this damn thing and after I posted it, I read it and felt that it reeked of douche-baggery, however appropriate an adjective it may have been for the guy.

[willmcloone1]

@Baphomet417 Nothing wrong with a little well-directed douche-baggery.

[Baphomet417]

@willmcloone1 indeed! here here!

[firestormrex]

@mrlee192 Iha and Chamberlain are CLEARLY in this video. So, to answer your question, yes. They were in Machina and Machina II. Chamberlain stuck around longer than Iha. Iha went to Tool.

[bagecka27]

@firestormrex a perfect circle.

[IAMGREASEDUPDEAFGUY]

skitzo with talent



[cashy555boy]

2:45 woaaah amazing :)

[toyergive]

n°1

[mekanefernando]

Beautifull Verse!

[PARADOXofficial]

turns out voldemort's vocally talented as well.. dark wizards often need day jobs these days

[HeartYukitty]

@PARADOXofficial I had Billy as my screensaver,you have no idea how many people asked why I liked Voldemort so much.

[MangnoG4m3z]

@PARADOXofficial wow is that guy actually voldemort or ur saying taht cuz he looks like him...?

[hopewell2012]

@PARADOXofficial shut up

[DMajikninja]

@PARADOXofficial one problem...voldemort doesn't have a nose o.o

[The420KushKing420]

@PARADOXofficial XD!!!!!!!! good one XDD

[kfat2290]

@PARADOXofficial probably one of the more epic comments on youtube

[pandelerick]

"We all wan't a hold in the Everlasting gaze

Enchanted in the rapture of a sentimental sway

But underneath the wheels lyes the skulls of every cog

The fickle fascination of an everlasting god YOU KNOW IM NOT DEAD!"

[ronetqsm]

Billy has a monopoly on hot female bassists (not just in this band).

[NikkTemplar]

I love Melissa...but D'Arcy will ALWAYS be their bassist.

[ilikemeandyoutoo]

I used to LOVE this band.

Thanks for sharing it with the world.

The chorus... those synthesizers. Gorgeous.

One of their best, most underrated songs.  The entire Machines of God album is special.

Jimmy is a drumming god.

[Baphomet417]

@ilikemeandyoutoo yeah, except that Jimmy didn't drum on Machina, fucking moron. However, if you're just stating "Jimmy is a drumming God" in general, then, yes, I would have to concur.

[ilikemeandyoutoo]

@Baphomet417

Actually he did drum on this song. He re-joined the band in '99. And that's him in the video too.

You don't have to insult me, either. Acknowledge your own pain.

[Baphomet417]

@ilikemeandyoutoo my own pain= acknowledged. congragulations, you've won this round. ;)

[ilikemeandyoutoo]

@Baphomet417

I don't know if you're being serious or not. Either way, thanks for the reply.

My comment below wasn't meant to be insulting at all. We all have pain. And it's a natural tendency for us to push into others sometimes.

But I checked out your profile, and I liked your other comments.

Anyway, take care.

[Baphomet417]

@ilikemeandyoutoo actually, I was being serious b/c i realized that yes, Jimmy did indeed play on Machina and was in this video. I didn't recognize him b/c of his bleached blond hair. I knew that he joined Billy in Zwan, but for some reason I forgot that he came back as early as Machina. Also, as far as pain is concerned, as a recovering heroin addict (w/ 3 & 1/2 years clean) who used for eight years, well, let's just say that pain and I are very well acquainted. (continued in next post...)

[Baphomet417]

@ilikemeandyoutoo (continued from last post...)

However, my pain and my various personal demons (of which there are many) have nothing to do w/ me being an asshole on youtube....sometimes I just enjoy making idiots realize they're idiots, and in your case, I was off the mark and I ended up looking like the idiot. Anyway, to reiterate, my asshole-ness comes more from my misanthropy than from my "pain."

All that being said, I do apologize sincerely. Adieu.

(god, what a long rant. lol.)

[ilikemeandyoutoo]

@Baphomet417

Clarification appreciated.

[ilikemeandyoutoo]

@Baphomet417

Wanted to add... the bleached hair throws us all off LOL.

[eugeemcrhdzvw]

i dont know why you're arguing about MCR and SP. They're both amazing, and both are my favorite bands, some of you may not like mcr's music and some may like it.

i love SP & MCR

[1010bree]

love melissa A kicks bass

[TRISTAN029]

@1010bree melissa is so hot i may just burst into flames by watching this vid...

[overkill664]

Is that the bass player from "HOLE" ??

[lauraoriordan]

@overkill664 yes, she's Melissa Auf der Maur

[bf2hero]

@overkill664

been under a rock the last decade? lol j/k. she's awsm

[EpicBrandMuffin]

98 people thought he was dead

[drefelipesm]

98 people are dead for good music.

[Alphoter]

i like when they break everything

[ScrewAttackChina]

why can't SP ever reproduce this chorus live?

[Baphomet417]

@ScrewAttackChina uh, because they don't have the added luxury of a studio mix board when they play live.

[heather71234]

the singer gives me the willys i can tell hes like a perv

[2RandomAddicts]

i just wanna rub Billys head it looks soooo soft

[MsZara83]

You know I'm not dead

I'm just living in my head

Forever waiting

stupenda

[emichika2004]

temazoooooooo!!!!!!!!

[Alphoter]

you know before the smashing pumpkins billy played in a gotic rock bands, thats fro mwere all the "dark" stuff comes

[CyberKiDxBRnM]

@paddle19 It's really tough to play. :(

[battragon]

No guitars were harmed, during the making or this video.. :(

[MegaHawthorne]

Just found this song a few days ago. It's amazing. The Pumpkins will always be one of my favorite bands.

[guyanaboi122]

billy's so cool

[Baphomet417]

does anybody else think that Billy Corgan is Gerard Way's older brother? haha

[MrPudster1]

@Baphomet417 Yeah totally!

[Alphoter]

@Baphomet417

hahahah kind of. But mcr is the gayness

[Baphomet417]

@Alphoter hahaha. WORD!

[Baphomet417]

@Baphomet417 oh, by the way, that "WORD" was in response to your comment about MCR being the, er, "gayness." I would have to agree on that.

[ryneldo]

@Baphomet417 Well how can you slander Gays by hating MCR?

[Baphomet417]

@ryneldo uhh, I don't believe I ever said that in any way slanders the gays. If you read my statement carefully you will notice that. (NOTE: it has to be read in conjunction w/ my response just before it wherein I say "WORD!"...as in "yeah, I totally fuckin' agree that MCR is indeed the gayness." The only reason I put that into quotation marks the was b/c I thought it was an interesting word to use. Now, having said that, being a gay man, I can see how some could interpret that as offensive

[ryneldo]

@Baphomet417 Fair enoughs man :D Just looked like someone was bashing gays as well as MCR. Mcr as a okay band :D Lead singer looks like the legend.

[Baphomet417]

@ryneldo Um, no, sorry My Chemical Romance is NOT, in ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM, an okay band. They are the musical equivalent to taking a blow torch to your testicles. However, that doesn't negate the fact that Gerard Way does indeed bare a striking facial resemblance to the one and only Billy C.

[Baphomet417]

@ryneldo (continued cuz i ran outta room to write...)

But i'm NOT one of them. So many of my fellow queers are OVERLY sensitive, and quite frankly pussies when it comes to always allowing ignorant assholes to get to them. That's pretty pathetic if you ask me.

[ryneldo]

@Baphomet417 You have a point but I like the band but I will not go OMG FUCKING LEAVE THEM ALONE like a fan girl :)

[shadowofgrace1]

@Baphomet417 holy shit im not the only one who thinks that???

[PersonalJesus348]

@Baphomet417

No because Billy is on another universe as far as musical talent goes.
