- hey folks, allow me to lull you to sleep with my dull monotone, or mute the audio and watch my hands move alot and see the new smashing pumpkins ATUM autographed box set unboxing. however you do or do not consume is fine by me. have a lovely day.
If only the music was as good as the packaging.
what a fabulous treasure you got. enjoy
thank you, Jose!
Cool boxset. Wish there was something like this for a deluxe CD package with the bonus songs + lyrics.
yeah, it's a drag the bonus songs are only available in the vinyl box set, but they have said they will be released (i think i read some time in december, but i can't recall). i am sure if you look hard enough, you could find them, though i do not condone that type of illicit behavior. :D
It looks Amazing. Everything the Pumpkins do is high quality.
Amazing album and what an incredible box set.
Thanks for sharing this. Looks like a real cool box set!
Quite the gift and nice to have the wife’s backing on your passion for the band! Me and my girlfriend (my wife now) saw The Red Hot Chili Peppers November 29th 1991 in Chicago during their “Blood Sugar Sex Magik” tour- a couple of up and coming bands opened the show: Pearl Jam (having just released “Ten”) and Smashing Pumpkins (promoting “Gish”). Instant fan and loyal ever since. Enjoy that box set and let us know your thoughts on the exclusive tracks when you have a chance.
holy cow! that must have been an amazing show. i have seen rhcp, pearl jam, and smashing pumpkins all separately at different times throughout the last 3 decades, but never all at the same time, and not that early in their careers. thank you for sharing that memory.
@@wlayneh I have the ticket stub from the show framed with some pictures/album art/etc. Cost per ticket for General Admission was $17.50. That won't ever happen again!
@@pez7031 crazy how much the cost of concerts (and everything really) has changed. i have all of my concert tickets (including things like setlists or picks when i was lucky enough to get those) in a big scrapbook and i recently re-organized it and started making small notes next to each one where appropriate. my wife and i sometimes look through it and reminisce and started noticing that we forget a bit more about some of the concerts each time we talk about it. so she had the great idea of typing out the memories of each show (quite an undertaking considering the amount of concerts we have been to together and separately). so i have been spending some time calling up friends who went with me to a particular show and we just reminisce together while i type a bunch of notes about each concert. that ended up being a massively fun exercise and something we all really enjoyed. but in terms of the ticket prices, when i go back and look at some of those early tickets from the 90s and see the ticket prices, i always gasp. like, $10 to see L7 or Helmet w/ The Melvins at a club? holy cow! those tickets would cost 4 to 5 times that now most likely. but considering cost of living now, i understand. i'm just glad i don't make $4.25 an hour anymore so i can afford to still go to see some of these bands every once in a while.
awesome shirt man i love digable planets... nickel bags of funk
hell yeah! i just saw them in concert a few weeks ago for the 30th (!!!) anniversary of Reachin'. that's where i grabbed the shirt. man, i used too bump that album non-stop back in the 90s... still love it. thanks for the comment! made me smile.
I’ve lost interest in a lot of things as I’ve gotten older but music has never been one of those things.
Beautiful set😮❤
oh same here. if anything i have expanded my palette and now it just seems like there is TOO MUCH great music that i have trouble consuming it all and giving it the attention i feel it deserves. like, i can't remember the last time i bought an album and just fell into it and couldn't stop playing it over and over and over again for months like i did for things like Mellon Collie, Tool's Ænima, anything by Nirvana. i mean, i used to devour albums because let's be honest, as kids/teenagers, we only had so much money and the ability to consume music was so different in the 90s. we couldn't just sample whatever we wanted whenever we wanted. man, today is so different. i almost wish i didn't have so many options so i could really soak in a handful of really good ones. not complaining, i guess, just yearning for that feeling more.
@@wlayneh Layne, it’s definitely too much. We sort of have to pick what we’re going to get into ( if you’re in obsessive like me lol ) because it’s just overwhelming 🪗🥁🎸🎹🎼🎧
@@wlayneh Well said btw
Oh man now I want this
Wish I’d bought one now
What an awesome present!
Presentation/box set of a great "product"
I too, began to hear all the (in my experience at least -post Teargarden) smashing pumpkins releases under a new light .
Perhaps (and again, this is only how I personally choose to view the fandom waxing+ waning), I was mourning what I had falsely believed to be the death of what was once my favorite band- my all-time favorite ROCK band, and when JEFF became the longest mainstay member, and with another JC departure too THE ONLY Member other than Billy- and with not an inkling of a reunion, nary a James in sight.... I mean, am I really to be blamed for this?
These are reasonable thoughts. Thanks to the band for making wonderful work well into their 30th year as a band, and I encourage all to give it a chance with open ears and open hearts and open minds, but because of the tumult and demise of consistency, I feel like I'm not sure we can actually blame anyone for prematurely writing them (the IP of 'Smashing Pumpkins' itself) off.
That being said while it does look wonderful I don't know if it's worth however much money in your wife paid and I was too a fan of the podcast and checked out the zuzu's website that had this for sale...
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't it in the 500 dollar price range?
Ok, like, you can get your own vinyl pressing MADE for that kinda scratch
Yeowch!
Still, thanks for showing this.
I eagerly await to hear the other nine songs on UA-cam, I hope, that is, if they're not already leaked ..
Other than scimitar, which was originally called photograph I thought, which was written and captured live at the performance/benefit for the victims of the Highland (or is it Hylan?) Park shooting over the July 4th weekend parade in 2022.
So sad
Anyway, good song
Couldn't justify dropping ½ a G just to hear nine more songs (I've never been one to care about autographs... Nor do I even have a turntable)
So with that a sincere thank you for your video
And upload.
One caveat,
Halfway through though I just didn't know if I could keep up with your exasperated energy level. I was SERIOUSLY like can get just TONE IT DOWN A BIT.
Your excitement was incendiary and palpable
THROUGH THE ROOF
bring it down a notch
Your uninhibited nature was unparalleled!
Ha.
But I digress...
But I mean it, thanks.
Just had to max out the volume on my audio receiver to actually hear you (I live in noisy NYC)
Thanks 🫂
ha! i have been struggling with how i make these videos. i am kinda new to it and don’t really know how to make these interesting, so i decided to “market” it as boring because that is just how i talk. :) i also struggled with whether or not i really needed this box set and sometimes i just have to say screw it. appreciate the comment. had a good laugh while reading.
@@wlayneh shit.
I know. I'm so sorry.
Listen I knew I should've not wrote that.
I just been lonely and commenting a lot on random UA-cams and it kind of feels like that I don't have a voice or anything like just no one ever seems to notice the reader comment or like and I guess I was just feeling like I was shouting into a vacuum and didn't actually think... Again let me just reiterate I am sorry.
It's better then the content I first made when I first vlogged or uploaded.
It really was the best effort of the unboxing I saw if if it makes you feel any better and honestly I did look around
@@jaysharpESQ thank you for that! i really appreciate it. i like having conversations in these threads on my videos, because the people that got here and viewed it are usually the ones with similar taste in music, so it is interesting and nice to find kindred souls. to be honest, when i saw your comment, i got excited and went and sat down to read it. i mean, rarely do people have or take the time to put that much thought into a response. :)
Jeff isn't the second mainstay longest member, its time is equal to James's
love it just wish they did an CD version as well
they did release a CD version, but it does not include the 10 extra tracks or the reading of Act I, but other than that, i think it is almost identical is content.
@@wlayneh oh thanks i will go searching for it
Do you know where I can find the songs in the 7 inch vinyls?
Waiting for those still!
I got the non autograph box set. I listened to the album, but where is act 2 and 3 of the narrative! I can't wait the suspense is killing me! Love the 45's too, no title for this album listed. Billy mentioned the title on the 33 podcast. I'll have to go back and listen to it again. I'm having fun over here, look at me go!
the narrative was kind of goofy in a 1940s radio play kind of way, and i think that is a good thing! :D i wonder if they will make Acts 2 & 3 available at some later date. glad you are enjoying your copy.
@@wlayneh thanks for the reply you're awesome! Loving the narrative too🙂 The 45s album is called zodeon at crystal hall, I think. Waiting to see when rest of the narrative comes out. Have a great day my man👊
@@klonkillee5615 ah yes, that album name sounds familiar. i remember in the podcast, billy was stumbling over the actual name and couldn't remember, so i don't feel bad for forgetting too. ha!
Glad you did this so I could say no.
looks very expensive
yeah, it was not cheap. the way i look at it (or at least what i keep telling myself to justify it!) is it was self-released on billy corgan's record label, and also if i missed out on it, i know for sure it will be way more expensive second hand. folks are already selling it for 50% more than it was originally sold for, so screw that!
Maybe it would be worth it if we're any good. Beguiled is the only track I have heard that I like so far. I will be listening to more soon so maybe I speak to hastily. As long as you love the album that's all that matters. Loved Siamese Dream and the follow up some of the songs but after the first 3 albums I lost interest. I was 23 in 93 and right out of college so likely why the absolute love of the album and it was killer.
Absolutely the 2nd hand market is out of control and makes the hobby of collecting vinyl no longer as fun.
@@wlayneh It's definitely a nice collector´s item, as for the music, I playlisted about 15 tracks from this, which is a good percentage.
@mydogmax1969
There are plenty of good tracks on that album. Only problem is many of them are ruined by terrible intros and Billy's voice being emphasized at odd moments. If they cut the album down to 11 or 12 tracks and removed some of those awful intros, it would be a great album. As it stands right now, I'd only give it a 7 out of 10 at most.
is the album any good ?
i mean, that's all relative, right? i might say "hell yeah!" and the next guy might say "this is the worst!". i personally enjoyed it as a whole body of work with a story backing it up. but if i never listened to the entire podcast and gotten a ton of context from billy himself, would i feel the same? perhaps not. but realistically, will i really ever have the time as a functioning working adult to ever set aside 2+ hours to listen to the whole thing in one sitting again? probably not. so if i was shuffling all music on my phone for instance, and a song from this album came up, i would say there is a 50% chance i would most likely skip the track, but it also depends on the track and my mood! sorry, i just can't commit to a straight answer. :)
Nah, it sucks. Corgan should have whittled down a bloated 33 track album to a decent 8-10 track record.
see? here's someone that says it sucks! and others in the these comments say they like it. it's the almighty opinion. the only way YOU know for sure if it is any good is if you just make some time to listen to the whole thing and decide if YOU like it. because in reality, when we look at our own relationship to music, it is what moves us . not what someone else says we should or shouldn't like, am i right?
@@wlayneh yeah its definitely the type of album you have to hear for yourself before deciding.
@@immortaluglyfish2724 Yeah, well. Different people like different songs. I would have put some b-sides and rarities tracks on Melon Collie instead of some of the songs on the album, but it wouldn't be the track list others would have made. As I heard Billy Corgan say once if you like 11 songs off of Atum, that can be your Atum. Just make a playlist of your version.
I wouldn’t waste my money on that hot topic band
we are all entitled to our own opinions, of course. :D thanks for taking the time to make your way here regardless. what is the last album you really loved by them? curious to hear other people's journeys with the band because man, they were everything to me as a teenager and into my 20s. but that time of one's life is guided by so many heavy emotions compared to the adulthood drone... hope you are enjoying your day.
Oh, look. Irrational hatred.
Billy has the best/worst song titles in the game.
Who would pay money for A Smashing Pumpkins album in 2023 is a question no-one would bother asking - I'm also guessing it's just a "Billy Thing" as all the other members were drug addicts or had talent and Joined "a perfect circle" 20 years ago.
Oh, look irrational hatred.
