    Where boys fear to tread must be one of the most underrated songs of all times, the riff is another level and Billy Corgan's vocals are so calm.

    Smashing Pumpkins (I actually never understood why they changed their name to *_The_*_ Smashing Pumpkins_ after _Siamese Dream_ . Never made sense to me ... ) sure had some of the darkest, most angsty songs of the 90s in their repertoire - they always had a more "gothic" touch than all those "merely" angsty Seattle bands - I mean, hey, they basically made music to stare at your feet to. But man, do songs like "Where Boys Fear to Thread" make me feel warm and fuzzy inside (the dark kind of fuzz, that is). Basically childhood memories to me. But the studio recording of this song, which also contained the _DooM_ sounds just makes me gleam with 90s nostalgia.
    PS: That ring mod, that Billy uses at the beginning of "Where Boys Fear to Tread" sounds absolutely sick!

      Hmm, true. However, it's still kinda funny, since it actually changes the meaning of the band's name. _Smashing Pumpkins_ refers to the act of smashing pumpkins (into small piles of putrid debris... whoever gets this one wins my internets!), while _The Smashing Pumpkins_ would refer to pumpkins bearing the attribute _smashing_ ...

    • @stratyocasterson9237

There was once an interview where he talked about how he would write the vocal melodies on guitar and then figure out how to sing them.
