  • I AM THE REAL "SORAYA BILLINGE"

    THIS IS A DEAD SINGER IN SPAIN CALLED ARNELAS. ARNELAS WENT TO JAIL TODAY FOR USING MY FIRST NAME ON STAGE................ARNELAS IS A PAPER GIRL MOTHE...

  • Veronica Grey was supposed to be at this show to hear this song Billy Corgan wrote for and about her but...

    ...she was at Jason Lewis' house instead.

    This is referenced in the book

    "220: S I F T I N G

    The Alien Battle Royale

    or

    How we met the Spirit of Kurt Cobain"

    by Fysche.

    Thank you for being such a profound inspiration!!!!!!!!!

  • Zeitgeist means "The Spirit of the Ages" or "Spirit of the Times" its talkin abt somethin summing up a time in a given era or period in history.

  • Masterful jump cuts. Could have done with more live sync though. For such great concert footage, I'm not sure I ever watch them sing/play along.

  • I was there!!! :D INCREDIBLE!!!! I'm Xavi from Barcelona.

  • i love the PUMP-----Mayo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

  • ZeitGeist is a great Record, Doomsday clock this is. . . .. . . .

  • check out the boobies on that chic at 2:33, awesome song by the way..smashing pumpkins forever

  • Comment removed

  • Believe it or not I helped promote this band in California back in the day. I like SP they rock Corey is a weirdo.

  • why doesnt corgan grow his hair again? he looks like a testicle

  • he can't. he went bald a long time ago... check out old photos from 94-96

  • no, he shaved it, he didnt go bald. it wud be dope if he had his long hair back

  • he's bald

  • its shaved for a tour he did in 99' i believe

  • what? he's hair was heaps thin in bullet with butterfly wings video and he shaved itthe next month... that was in 95

  • Descendant of Corganism at Amazon

  • i like this song

  • goodish album much prefer siamese dreams or mellon collie, wasnt to exicted about this album especially the fact that the producer of queen produced this album the pumpkins could have found someone better, also that james n d'arcy arent in it

  • @MagicFingers47 wat abt the Pantera producing some of the tracks, actually most of it was produced by just Corgan and Chamberlin, with Chamberlin having a particularly important say in the final mixing of the album

  • Zeitgeist sounds a little german

  • it is german

  • and why ????

  • how should i now why the smashing pumpkins decided to use a german word

  • why do you know that it is german ????

  • i read online that in german it means time spirit

  • I KNOW i am GERMAN haha

  • LOL

  • I LOVE SP!...

  • smashing pumpkins are so much better then then u bicth. so shuted.

  • Listen. Please if you're or were a fan of Smashing Pumpkins. Ffs, get a grip. I do believe that Billy, Jimmy, D'arcy and James are way way much better when together. And we all know, and the world say so. Live with it. Don't disrespect one and another member of the Smashing family. It's just too hurtful. Capice?

  • that is the most asinine thing i have ever heard

  • The song with "love is suicide" in the chorus is called "bodies"

  • and you SaintMatthews with a "666" equals jerk....

  • wtf is ur problem! The song is called bodies. 666 cos username is taken. Did i say anything remotely rude?

  • please i need to know what the song is called with the chorus "love is suicide" thanks for anyone that gets back to me

  • bodies

  • Paris + Smashing Pumpkins = beautiful magic

  • fantastica!!!!!!

  • This promo concentrates on the singer and the drummer

    but I get the feeling like somones missing...

  • What's with the dresses Billy's wearing? I don't mind the black and white striped shirts but the dresses are just gay...

  • "My Mother came to a Smashing Pumpkins gig once, and I was wearing a dress. She was very upset. She said, 'Everyone's gonna think your a fag.' I said,'Well, they already think I'm an asshole.' "

    -Billy

  • Are you retarded? Its called quoting.

  • I don't see the problem with it. There doesn't seem to be a problem with girls wearing pants

  • gracias por regresar

  • I didn't read any other comments,and i may sound stupid,but this definetly ain't live

  • haha no shit

  • "astig sila" means that they rock

    "salamat" means thank you

    SP FOREVER!

  • i get to see in atlanta on halloween. WOOOOOOOOOOOOT

  • smashing pumpkins will always be in our hearts!

    ITS WORTH DYING FOR!

    ...and fuck emo and nu metal!

  • You own!!!!!!! Nu Metal and emo is so shit. Smashing Pumpkins are way talented cuz Nu Metal such speed, no harmony always yellin' like dogs and emo such a shit cuz it's too pop

  • delete the spam comments please!!! FUCK SPAM

  • calla7lily-you are a true fan-thank you for all of your comments!That one was actually trmpting(kidding)!

  • Plz,, not the cape.....

  • OMG! We've missed you!

  • The Smashing Pumpkins are back and the new album is POWERFUL and WONDERFUL, if you don't like it go sink into your old high school gym shorts and jerk-off to your yearbooks!

  • what an odd thing to say

  • luckyass french people

  • D'arcy isnt dead you tosser, she's in my shed right now potting the plants. I made her dye here hair too. Its mousey brown now. She has put on a few pounds too, probably the deep fryed road kill she's been eating.

  • Welcome Back SMASHING PUMPKINS!!!!! Today i went to the Record Bar and Listen to Their new album FUCKIN AWESOME!!!!!! they blow my fuckin mind!

  • oops. he got kicked out. my bad. billy kicked him out for giving him the drugs

  • They shouldn't start tour again. Like really, 2 newbies in sp. Great, but really? If you kick out the drummer cause he's on crack, it's your fault. It's gonna be tough for them. Also, Darcy died, which is unreplacable.

  • fuck that billy corgan has come to take back his alternative rock crown back. HAIL THE KING!!!

  • Well, ya. He'll do that quite soon. But, it's gonna be hard. He has to pass bands like Alexisonfire, and he missed out over a 6-year time period. The heroes of sp are highly presurred.

  • Darcy isn't dead.

  • oops. he got kicked out. my bad. billy kicked him out for giving him the drugs.

  • D'arcy isn't dead, you retard

  • ya i know that, faggot. i messed up on the comment.

  • La ville à laquelle je songe...

  • Paris... interesting choice of city to begin the tour. damn shame james and darcy aren't there.

  • Franceses suertudos!! Qué fortuna tener la oportunidad de ver a este gran poeta!! Sé que ver a Billy y a James junto a Darcy y James Iha sería todavía mejor, pero la verdad es que billy sólo puede hacer magia como nadie más. Billy: eres poesía, muerte, oscuridad, sledad pero sobre todo honestidad e irrealidad juntas. Te amo!! Por favor vengan a México.

  • D'arcy and James really oughta be there. But when i get the chance to see them. Jeez, D'arcy, the love of my life, reason for picking up my first bass, Wretsky oughta really be there!!!

  • lucky French people

  • Billy & Jimmy are back!!!!

    Come on!!!

  • There's a point there - If Iha was your fav then be happier now that, it's just him on his solo-stuff. Why whine about current "pumpkins", when you can rejoice "Iha"? Hey, seems like this is a great way to point out how some older-bitter-fan's just want to badmouth Corgan.

  • the smashing pumpkins video for tarantula is on AOL!

    sorry can't post a link.

  • holding onto the past is sad....embrace what is....cause it fuckin rocks!

  • very sweet song...

    give us more!

  • I had my doubts but Im so excited to hear the album. this song is only gonna be on one of four different releases. my girlfriend works at a record store and heard that. fuck it ill get all four.

  • Corgan worked in a record store when he met Iha...

  • it's a good song...but not as good as siamese dream's songs , I guess... second parts aren't better... but this is smashing, I love them anyway...

  • I wish people would get over Siamese Dream. The CD is already there. You miss it. Listen to it. jesus.

  • I second that. And I wish people would stop nagging about Iha. If you love that guy so much, buy his solorecord or go to one of his shows. And if you love the pumpkins, for f***s sake, be happy that billy corgan at least releases some new material.

  • amen.

  • Amen too!! I love Billy and James's tandem. They were the original and only members, who stayed in the band (1988-2000). They complement each other Although James is my favorite, I still love Billy and The Smashing Pumpkins!! I'm glad I get to relive the band of my youth!! WB Pumpkins!! Astig sila!! Salamat!!

  • Great song! THE SMASHING PUMPKINS ARE BACK!

    I missed them and this is amazing a comeback.

  • In some sense, yep, they aren't, in other they are.

  • The pumpkins arnt the same without James and d'arcy

  • oh my dear!!!

  • i love this band

    thats all i gotta say

  • Is this the accuall video?

  • billy controlling? well... wasn't he the only one in SP that actually knew how to do anything? i always thought the others were just there so he could play shows and have others man the instruments.

  • seriously people, read the whole conversation. Can I get a fucking AMEN here?

  • Amen!

  • sure u can voice your opinion, but your opinion is biased. That's why I "waste" my effort on barracking your comments. And IT'S ONLY WASTE COZ A DIPSHIT LIKE YOU WON'T GET IT! All you know about Corgan is what he sold you.

  • Would a band stick 12 years together and make 6 records if billy was such a dick? What, did he force the other to be in a band with a gun on their their forehead?

    Also, the interview on vieuphoria you earlier referred to, boi, was a joke. It gives a pretty bad picture about you when you draw your conclusion about things like that.

  • I'm not your "m8", boi. well if that's the way to perceive it then fine. My opinion for it that you're over judgemental about it. You probably would also say that Maynard James Keenan is a dick as well? Not to point anything out, except what kind of person you are. Funny thing to me is, that I've never read any interview where Corgan has stated things about anything else than music. And what comes about him being a controlling - well surely - SP was mostly HIS BAND.

  • I love the songs that Billy Corgan writes.

  • I agree, in this age of totally crap music.just look at the shite in the charts, then we are pretty lucky to have a modicom of pride in the music we listen to. Dont matter if its the Pumpkins. And yep, Corgan is a pompous ass but hell, if I was prolific as he, so would I!!

  • So come on, just slate the king - fine by me! If I'm such a "fanatic" how come I don't really apreciate machina, or why won't I care about billy's guitar virtuosity? Oh tell me? Why why? Does it matter?! If someone is good at something and then confident, will that make him an instant ego-prick? I think you're one since you based yout opinions on such lil'.

  • so if ya not such a fanatic why have u wasted the effort on barracking my comments,it only seems to matter to you fanatics,raasto me old china & m8 in every interview i've ever read with the pumpkins corgan comes across as narsistic & controling in my opinion,& an opinion is all it was,is

  • In other words, that opinion is very very worthless. And your elvis comparament doesn't really aply here, since elvis was dick according to many persons close to him. d'arcy was probably only person to ever say somethin' bad about billy, herself a mean spirited drug-addict.

  • was'nt comparing corgan 2 presly'was commenting on the mindset of people who seem to have taken my comment about ego a little too extreme,sry but hero worship was never me thing

  • Yeah, but you know, there's no proof for yout "facts" here. It would be ok to slate him for him being a dick if that would be true - I cannot say he's not one, I don't know him personally, but neither do you - so who are you to say?

  • the pumpkins are kick ass. im very glad they're back

  • lockjaw62, if you think that's enough to prove that anyone's a dick, you're EVEN BIGGER DICK to begin with.

  • yeah whatever m8,it seems ta me theres a bit of this elvis fan mentality goin on here,no one must slate the king,i just vioced an opinion about some1s ego,not their talent,u wanna call me a dick,go 4 it m8 it wont change the fact the reason the band split was cos of corgan fact,

  • well, i just hope they just still arrange good-hard-dirty-noise riff songs, just like good times, and not to start a pop-obliging songs 'new' career.

  • ..nuff said =D

  • and dont worry i dont sound like jackson he a northan monkey man

  • like i say i not now jerrt jackson i now jerry springer there probably same person if jackson a yank

  • ..and lockjaw, i'm sorry but i just can't help it but to picture jerry jacksons voice in my head everytime i read your "cuments, lul"

  • A grown-up wouldn't make judgements by looks. It's cool u can dig the music for music. It's great and very objective - but why to fuzz about capes? okay - not your thing? actually I also digged more about the siamese dreams era look, but that's beside the point anyway - it would have gotten boring anyway. Good point about Bowie, Personal!

  • lockjaw62, so you weren't joking? OMFG!!! xD lulz! Lolzorz! nothing, umm.. u know what - no one tells you to like Corgan - the funny thing here though is that you have no arguments that would state it true that he's a dick.

  • watch the pscologist segment of vieuphoria,hes a dick

  • thing is,in the early days the corgan on stage was the corgan on the street,where did he go,now its all pretence, arrogance,re:faux psycologist segment on vieuphoria,was it tongue in cheek?really

  • it wouldnt let me post what i wanted to say so il just say david bowie and smashing bold pumkins are 2 differant people they dont look the same for start ones bloody bold u muppet.and no matter who he model himself on he still gay and shit

  • Well no shit they're different thank you pointing the obvious. And I said Billy no the entire band. As a response to the gay thing, again its David Bowie. I don't get it. David Bowie acting like a superstar = good. Billy acting a susperstar = evil? What the F***.

  • i love this song

  • so, it was a rumor i heard years ago that this girl (d'arcy if i'm not mistake)was a big cocaine fan and also die before a show in france or somewhere there in europe (maybe year 1995 or something) Now, i can't identify in this video if she's still playing with this guys or this girl is the 'A Perfect Circle' bass girl (whom also play in another band which name i don´t remember).

  • d'arcy isnt dead & the bassist from perfect circle was also the bassist in zwan.but not the new pumpkins,i dont think.

  • but i suppose he is good guitarist but no dress sence at all looks real batty now what i mean.i only like one of his song personaly and thats only cos he taking bout killers and shit.other than that no talet other than guitar and bold head so he can go faster in his convertable lmfao

  • quote//lol i bet u try to look like him.m8 u can be a fan of the music.i am.dont stop me thinkin billy corgan is a cunt tho lol.now get on off to bed ,u up to l8.tool un quote// i bet your right lockjaw they all want to look like him and have his babys and spend rest of there lifes with the fagot man in his posh big mashion up his ass

  • oh wow, lockjaw63!What a superb Jerry Jackson impresonation by you! =)

    search: Jerry Jackson - WARS OF THE EARTH

  • who the fuck is jerry jackson?please tell me cos i cant be assed to look myself.lol.

  • ok i know u talkin to other lockjaw,checked jerry jackson,good stuff,but wots it got to do with all the corgan bollcks?

  • i got a doubt: the original bass girl was dead by a cocaine overdose?

  • can think of worse ways to go.

  • billy corgan is a great artist if he's just not too full of himself. being in a band is supposed to be a collaboration, you got to respect your member's opinion. sad that corgan is too much of a perfectionist.

  • Isn't that what makes him great? What I don't think is why people think Billy Corgan is full of himself. He has never shown any arrogance. Its just people want to find fault in genuinely good people theses days. :/

  • he is full of himself.when the pumpkins started he was cool as shit.now its all the costumes & shit & image,why cant he go back to bein him.what makes the pumpkins great is stuff like the solo on cherub rock.not lookin like a bunch of twats

  • I'd rather listen to music written by an talented egomaniac than a non-talented non-egomaniac. There are so many shit bands out there that full into this category. Do you think the Pumpkins would have achieved what they did if Billy respected his member's opinion? Fuck offff. You talk about perfectionism like it's a bad thing when it's not.

  • hahaha i bet ya mum still iron ya t-shirts

  • ooooh, BURN.

    what the fuck??

    what does that have to do with anything?

    you really are an idiot.

    billy corgan has nearly always had some kind of image, like in the siamese dream era, he wore flowery long sleeved shirts allt he time. and in the mellon collie era they looked all arty and shit. and then adore went all gothic.

    i hate so called pumpkins "fans" who give shit to corgan and co for little things they don't like.

  • lol i bet u try to look like him.m8 u can be a fan of the music.i am.dont stop me thinkin billy corgan is a cunt tho lol.now get on off to bed ,u up to l8.tool.

  • where's the japanese guy?

  • the pumpkins rock but corgan is such a twat.his ego is as big & glaring as that head.wicked axe man tho.

  • hmmm.... a rock star with a big ego? wow, i've never heard of such a thing before. imagine that. you're an idiot.

  • aahhh you must be corgans boyfreind lmfao

  • you have the worst comebacks ever. even forthe internet.

  • hahahahahaha i know but its not thru want of tryin.

  • Well lockjaw he's emulating David Bowie. An influence of his and an artist that really brought original characters.  Jsut because he dresses up doesn't make him any different.

  • yeah m8 in 1973 when bowie was doin ziggy it was original,it was outragouse.now its 2007 & shavin ya head & putting on a bin bag is a bit poor.but wot is the problem of a fan of the band not liking 1 of its members.ok he is the pumpkins but hes a tool.

  • hei keauxgeigh..before billy became zwan, he was smashing pumpkins!!and he was really really better than the period of zwan...learn, read and heard something about his music of 90!!

  • this song kicks ass

  • QOTSA Is the greatest?

    whats the world coming to....

  • queens of the stone age greatest band? ..christ man

  • FUCKING SHIT SONG!!

  • Yay! Zwan is back!!! But what's with the name change? What the hell is a 'Smashing Pumpkin'?

  • apparently the new bass player is more hot than melissa

  • OMG I love You Thanks for sharing!! I've loved Smashing Pumkins since forever!

  • Nathanielstarr, well some people may say adore is shit just becouse it's trendy. But music itself is subjective so I understand if is just the stuff that doesn't appeal to someone. I think it was better than some other records at that time, but still to me it was a lot lamer than some of the earlier works. =)

  • I really liked Adore. To Sheila, Ava Adore and Perfect are great songs. Most songwriters would give their left nut to write a song half as good as any of those. I know it's trendy to hate on that album but it still sold millions of copies and he will be playing songs off that album at the upcoming shows and those that are there will love it. Stick your subservient trendiness up your ass like what you want to like and admit that you like Adore. This new one also rocks.

  • I really enjoyed Machina. That was very good.

  • Adore was a decent album. To Sheila, The Tale of Dusty &Pistol Pete, Annie-Dog, For Martha, and 17 were absolutely amazing. However, most of the rest of the songs were just okay, and Ava Adore was kind of bad. The entire album had a "we need filler" feel to it. Filler though it was, it was SP filler, which makes it a hell of a lot better than most bands best work.

    The summation of this confusing and rambling comment: Adore was pretty cool; all the other albums were just a lot cooler.

  • so far, every smashing pumpkins album takes just a little while for it to grow on me.

    the first album i got was siamese dream, and i never really listened to it from start to finish, just on shuffle with the rest of my albums on itunes and ipod etc. but when i listened to it the whole way through, i thought FUCK, THIS ALBUM IS THE SHIT!!

  • and thats happened with just about every album from them.

    recently i got MACHINA, and my first listen made me think..,.

    this is a little wierd.. even wierder than adore...

    but now i think its one of thier best albums

    there are so many awesome songs on there

    i cant believe how unpopular it is

  • yeah m8 their music is hard to beat.but ya gotta be honest about things corgan is a dick.

  • Yeah...But he's talented and kinda hot, so I let it slide.

  • Yes...they once said ROCK WAS DEAD..on the release on the insipid tho I love it "Adore"..ha ha Billy, you cant escape the rock and roll that runs thru your veins, all hail the second greatest band after QOTSA!

  • What's the song's name?

  • Looks like it could be Tarantula from the new album??

  • The vocals kinda of sound just posted together with the song....not mixed at all with the music I mean. Very good tho, The Pumpkins are back!

  • You're right, mixing is a huge issue with this song. However, if it WERE mixed better, this would be kickass.

  • Yeah I agree, its still the pumpkins,yes it would have been nice to see iha and darcy playing with then again but its better than nothing.Besides corgan wrote most of the songs from the start so Id seriously doubt that a change in the line up would be much different.

  • Plus, as much as I love D'Arcy, I think Ginger Reyes might be a better bassist. The only thing I'll really miss is Iha's acoustic stuff. He was very good at writing for and playing acoustic. Corgan's more of an electric kind of guy. We'll see what what's-his-name can do.

  • Instead of arguing about what constitutes the band, I'd like to know about the album name. I recognized the word Zeitgeist from the indie film distributor, then I came across the upcoming documentary "Zeitgeist" on youtube and elsewhere. I've taken politics as a hobby over the last year and wonder if theres any connection between the album name and one of these other references.
