i never liked how this song was performed live. I don't think you can get that full song on the chorus with how they create the sound live, it's just not full enough. the guitar is too quiet. still, major sick song
@alpha771 SP's live sound _always_ depended on Jimmy to fill out, I mean they were awesome live but on a recording a song like this with the guitars tuned to C doesn't really work live. Too much space between the guitars and Billy's tone.
I love Melissa's playing. She brings a hammer and thud to the sound of the song. Jimmy is money as usual. James' is spot on. Billy is Billy, which is a good thing. RaWk On!
Kind of an irrelevant tangent, but I've had a few, so what the hell. To all those kids who apply the term "emo" to anything that has the least bit of a moody tinge to it: please stop retro-actively saturating our culture with a vast generalization that only applies to the lame ass pseudo-punk bands that have errupted after the rise of gothic, industrial, and otherwise Burton-esque groups. Emo is a great way to label My Chemical Romance.
The way I'd differentiate is that Emo essentially has nothing but a surface melancholy that implies mom and dad wouldn't lend the fucking car out. Sorry for getting hung up on genres, since music is indicative of itself and we get way to concerned with how to categorize shit, but I'm going to indulge. Nine Inch Nails is not emo, its industrial if its anything. Nor is Joy Division emo. T-Bone Walker and Robert Johnson aren't "emo", they have the legitimate, non-contrived fuckin' blues. My bad
Jimmy @ 2.08 min = omfg...what the fuck? one of my favourite drummers ever...and of course, billy corgan one of my favourite songwriters ever....damn how i miss smashing pumpkins live!!!
I agree and here Billy Corgan reminds me the singer of an animated band hiting strong here in Italy not being a million dollar production. Search for SWAVE IN THE FUTURE
Because the last two actually are emo to some degree (and I say that as a matter of style, not insult) and because My Chem gets pegged emo like the Pumpkins were first pegged as grunge: timing. The Pumpkins can never be pegged as emo though; they can't be pegged as any one thing. It's those bands that become the best, the ones that defy description (unless they defy description because they make no sense whatsoever lol).
@NYver4get Check out his performance at the metro during the pumpkins last 2000 performance when they performed an ode to no one. Seriously, he brought the house down.
just always have your hi hat foot keep the beat during the entire song. this is the first song i ever played perfectly on drums. its a sentimental favorite haha
really good performance this one

they played too fast...
I do not understand why but the band always played much faster on live than in the albums.
GOTTIEB 2 years ago 2
because its boring playing the same songs the same over and over.
and they may have been in a faster mood at the time.
