His newer stuff does not get the credit it deserves. People say Zeitgeist was a bad album. I think Zeitgeist was a bad album only by Smashing Pumpkins standards, but had another band released an album like Zeitgeist it would be considered great. to sum up my: point Smashing Pumpkins worst album is better than most bands best album.
@nicholsjoshua15 I have to agree. Beside I think the ones that say this album is bad are old school SP fans. I did at first too bc I'm one of those old school fans... Honestly the album is great! and Tear Garden is turning out to be very freaking good!!
@VideoStalker00 Yeah but the first EP of TGBK was not that great but the second EP was great. The three EPs I have played until they're about to wearout are American Gothic, Chronic Town, and Carnival Of Rust.
With only 4 songs, American Gothic can well be the best EP of all time..just like how Pisces Iscariot is best B-sides album of all time...well coming from me, the Smashing Pumpkins is my favorite band of all time...:P...Siamese Dream greatest album of the 90's and all time.....
Right after I heard this song I looked up the chords and lyrics and learned it all. I play it when I'm depressed sometimes. Helps me feel better. Great song. Wish I could find the chords for Pox as well.
Billy has added just the right amount of instrumentation to this song. He hasn't drastically changed it at all, just accented it a little bit, which is so fucking good, because this song is so simple and so beautiful. It has the same kind of subtle magic that i find in "To Sheila".
American Gothic, a four-song acoustic EP to be released digitally via the iTunes Store on January 2. Featuring the songs "The Rose March," "Pox, "Again, Again, Again (The Crux)" and "Sunkissed," the EP will be available for individual purchase on iTunes or as part of a deluxe iTunes version of the band's critically hailed 2007 album Zeitgeist. In the U.S., iTunes is the exclusive retailer; elsewhere in the world, American Gothic will be available as a physical product at retail.
Thank you so much for taping this video now I know the name of the song. Cool! I saw them fixing this song up on the behind the stage look at fillmore. What a great show it looks to be as good as the Orange Peel was ;-)

This song brings me to tears.
American Gothic is such a great EP, I hope the next album Billy writes it'll be like AG.

yea the capo is on the fifth fret.
this song is beautiful. i start out every day, and end every day by playing it.
every time i hear it, especially live, i get this picture in my head of this girl i know. most beautiful thing i've ever seen.
so it's fitting that the most beautiful song ever written remind me of the most beautiful girl i've ever met. it really makes me feel at ease.
idk, i guess i thought i would share that with the rest of the SP fans out there. lol. hey billy!

he plays it on the 5th, but the capo only changes the octave, so if your voice is higher or lower, position the capo accordingly.

jared81799 3 years ago
6th by my eye
mcyi8aa2 3 years ago
It's on the sixth but Billy has the guitar tuned a half step down so the same key can be achieved by capoing the 5th fret.

I play this song with the capo on the 6th and it sounds right. =)

I have a feeling the EP could be better than Zeitgeist!!! Judging by the title and what I've heard so far, it might sound a little like "Adore."
