James is always slaying it on guitar but always looks like he’s reading a mildly interesting article on carpeting
Yeah,putting his grocery list prob.😊🤟💜
Not exactly s guitar players face like clapton or trey from Phish.....both those guys look like they are trying to get an itchy hair out of their nose without using hands
Lol true
this cracked me up 🤣🤣🤣🤣
so grunge... love it!
I’ll never stop being impressed by Stern’s sound engineer
He is a real pro, does these awesome bands justice.
true, this guy's better than Albini!
Geneuis!!!
Nick DuBois he’s a monster
All live performances for rock and metal bands should have him being the A.E
Jimmy Chamberlin is such a boss. One of the best drummers of all time. Watching him play Tonight Tonight is magical.
Love how he’s always laughing at Howard
Totally agree ✊🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
His drumming on Silverf**k and Jellybelly is insane.
You took my spotlight... I was the rat 🐀 in the cage ... I want my money 🤑 ..
Jimmy Chamberlin - the not-so-secret weapon of this band.
True, true
I fucking agree, on cherub rock, right after I fell in love with the the guitars/the drums complemented the song just as much
Greatest rock drummer ever, and arguably the greatest jazz drummer of our time.
He brings the high energy fierce rocken-ness...without him youd just have a coupla dudes sludgin' out power chords.
No kidding.
Whoever is engineering sterns live performances should be on good money.
100%
I thought the exact same thing. Compression and EQ on vocals was perfect for his voice.The guitars levels and the drums levels are wonderful. Top stuff!
Yes, the mix is perfect.
Paul Mallon dude I’ve been saying this for years also!
Seriously, no matter how far back I go, the audio on every single performance on this show sounds 100x better then any live performance I’ve heard lol
Truth! I also feel the same for those responsible for sound on Guitar Center live sessions. Bush, Alice In Chains, and many others had exceptional mixes and clarity among the instruments.
Always a pleasure to see Jimmy Chamberlain playing drums. One of the best ever.
Definitely one of the best ever.
AGREED
Agreed, he's very chunky (for want of a better description). Sensational chops, with superb timing.
Propjoe10 absolutely. He has such feel and so powerful. I'm a guitar play but totally luv his work.
He embellished on some parts on this performance especially snare hits and ghost notes.
I love Howard’s love and passion for rock music.
Of course because he’s also Buckethead.
Longtime stern fan that’s how I know he knows squat about music. He hates on brilliant stuff through the years then likes it once he knows it’s trendy..
One of the Greatest bands ever! WHAT A DRUMMER!!!!!
#zrunner is the best Mechanical device for #ropeaccess at height related scenarios. #arborist #roofing #selfrescue #ppe #osha Joe Capozziello
Despite all his rage he has not aged.
Gene Ryan 😂
I remember how shocking it was when Billy shaved his head. Good move looking back now.
Lmao
A little, but looking good for being somewhere around 50.
He has if you look at his Instagram. He’s like an edgy teen
James look likes a teacher who just got off of work.
Whoever would have thought he would be the TNA promoter. Dude must love wrasslin.
lol
He does tho
Gregoire Cadelus maybe😂🎶
…..in May.
Jimmy is honestly one of the most underrated drummers of our time!
couldn't agree more
Just some strange changes, fills, compared to original.
I don't know anything about drumming, but I was thinking the snare? the one that's so good on Tonight Tonight...it's very recognizable.
One of the greats. Agree
Corgan's ability playing guitar is grossly underrated.
Yeah he really fucking loves it, he’s got a huuuge collection of gear and a big old pile of effects pedals, including everything way back from their biggest albums. I forget where I saw it on UA-cam but it was like a tour of some warehouse or whatever where he has all this shit stored, and how the Mayonaise guitar was some cheap fucked up guitar that would squeal when you paused, and eventually that organically kind of just became part of the song they kept in on purpose, and now its iconic. “Words define the plan.... And when I can... (SQUEALL), I will... (SQUEALL) Cool enough to always be it, dumb enough to always feel it” etc. (I know I butchered those lyrics 😆🙈 forgive me, you know what I mean tho.)
There’s also a video by Eddie Van Halen discussing/promoting either his new (at the time like 10 yrs ago) “Wolfgang Guitar” (which is all he plays live ever since, I believe), or his EVH 5150 vacuum tube amp, and how/why they made it the way they did. (If I had to guess I’d say the amp video). And EVH says something like “Billy Corgan, from Smashing Pumpkins was here, and he’s like: ‘Where are the effects pedals?’ And I’m like: ‘I don’t need effects pedals. Just plugged straight into the amp like I’ve always done.’” And I’m not 100% sure but I think EVH is known for always doing it that way, and that’s how he achieved his famous “Brown sound” guitar tone.
He’s the best guitar player of the 90s. Only Jonny Greenwood and Doug Marstch come close.
He should be in top 100 rolling stone, technically and creatively a machine and he has mad solos. Maybe f..ck ROlling Stone magazine huh?

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is such a fantastic album. Even the songs that weren't singles sound amazing.
Hell yeah man I love them all except maybe 5 or so! I was always surprised Bodies (track 2 on blue disc 2) didn’t become a huge hit. I love the guitar noise intro to Where Boys Fear to Tread too.
Close to being my favorite album ever. It leaves you with a feeling of both wonder, cynicism, and perspective all at once somehow.
Tales of Scorched Earth... Bodies... XYU... these are classics that were buried. The double album was a bad idea. They could have had their own "Use Your Illusion" 1 & 2... without all the fillers, of course.
Except "We Only Come Out At Night." That one was terrible.
@@jasonpate7900 I actually think it works quite the opposite. Those songs you said that were buried with fillers were more special because they felt like hidden gems. And to me, every single song is amazing because it fulfilled a purpose and feeling for the album
James Iha is so chill. I wonder if he is counting how many times he has played this song in his lifetime.
chill? he looks very pissed to me. like he would smash his guit on howard's head and say fuck you all
I think it's due to the fact it probably doesn't come as fluid to him as it does BIlly. I mean, Billy is just a frking monster on guitar, so I think James is more tense in his playing, all concentration and all. Not saying he's bad or anything, just a different vibe perhaps...
He looks bored, he probably wishes he was still on tour with A Perfect Circle.
They've played this around 500+ times live, god knows how many times in the studio. p.s besides the guests he has Howie's show blows fuck u howie
Edit grandmer
He must feel like a rat in a cage (considering how many times he's been obligated to play this song).
Que "Isn't it Ironic" by Alanis Morissette.
To all GenXers we were all lucky to be in the grunge era. Can't believe that I'm in my 40's but despite my age I still think young.😘
AHAHAH same god damit not giving up,,few months ago pumpkins cover band came to town and hell ya i went
Same dude. Hit university when grunge got big. The 90s were the best for music.
Howard roasting James at the end. Omg 😂 perfect.
Despite all my rage I am still making minimum wage.
Despite all my age I am still making minimum wage.
mike spence Years ago when in college and I was in a rock band, I actually used to sing the chorus of Bullet With Butterfly Wings just like I posted them. Lol! Honestly I don’t think anyone at our shows even noticed we had changed the lyrics except for our friends that we told about it. Lol!
Despite all my rage I am still making minimum wage.
Despite all my rage I'm still not Nicolas Cage
@@jamstonjulian6947 Bro fuck you 😆
I had the opportunity to meet James and talk with him about guitars and what not. He is the definition of an introvert, if you can’t tell
'till you see John Myung from Dream Theater
@@TheGW_Channel lol
The world was blessed to have Smashing Pumpkins music.
I LOVE how Billy and James humored Howard by showing off how they harmonize their guitar parts. Just awesome 👏.
You could tell James didn't really want to do it.
Everytime Billy sings "But can you fake it, for just one more show?" I always think about their SNL performance where he sings that line and looks at D'arcy.
lol....he did that? I'll have to rewatch it. I never noticed that.
InsignificantNick so sad what happened to her. Addiction is a mofo.
jeezus... that look!!
He usually did that to James every show
Lmao
There was a time in the 90s that there was a real risk that things would turn out very badly for Jimmy Chamberlain. I'm glad to see he made it, older and wiser.
Yeah as a drummer, I've always admired his playing. Also, I went down the same path with heroin and know how insanely hard it is to kick. Very glad to see him healthy and still playing.
Earthen Jadis how come?
Earthen Jadis True that !
And playing even better. Insane.
Carlos Tovar he struggled with a bad drug addiction. I’m glad he survived it and got clean.
that last laugh says it all
One of the greatest songs of 90’s
This song is 25 years old... I'll be damn
True art never dies
Javier Suárez I remember the day it came out on MTV. I was a huge Pumpkins fan in middle school. Time flies, have a good one.
That whole album is 25 years old...fuck me
Crazy how fast that went by. Just think about soundgarden, and candle box, and Alice in chains. That was a while ago too, but still nothing anyone will turn off for at least 50 more years.
*damned
I miss the ‘90’s :(
yeah brother they flew by too fast
Me too :(
Me too, some of the best years of my life
I miss the early 2000s pop punk music was better than grunge
You should get a time machine, they're great
James is SO mellow
Jimmy Chamberlin and Matt Cameron (his Soundgarden stuff) were the two monster drummers of the 90s. Just head and shoulders above all the rest.
Dave Abrussezze and Sean Kinney were great too. Kinney in particular was a master of dynamics and the ghost note.
James Iha is the coolest, chillest lead guitar dude ever.
I don't think he's lead
"I don't know why Billy didn't get along with you. You don't remember anything...it's great!"
He's also a criminally underrecognized guitar player. Very crafty.
He's the fuckin man..Bad as in perfect circle too
You can pull that off when you're in a famous band. The guy at your local bar just looks bored and disinterested.
Despite all my rage i keep reading 40 people saying "the sound engineer is great"
Billy and James are "weaving" via their guitars ...a great technique, rarely heard nowaday's. And Billys voice is still on point. Also, credit to the sound engineer 🔥💯👍
Out of curiosity, what do you mean by weaving?
@@walshelliot1 Usually you have a rhythm and lead guitar they kind of blend together here that's all
@@WH3 so just normal dual guitar band music
They still sound as good as they did in the 90s. Awesome performance!
"I don't know why Billy couldn't get along with you, you seem like a mellow dude" lol
LOL - that was unexpected and awesome. I definitely cracked up at that one, lol
Loved Jimmy’s reaction to that!
Billy got tired of yanking ninja stars out from his back!
Ya I legit laughed out loud aha
Hilarious
Don't miss the ending when they talk it's hilarious
90s is the last decade of great music
Pretty amazing that Howard picked that up about the chord progressions, I don't think any radio or television host in the world would have recognised that.
James iha just permanently indifferent 😂
Lol definitely
Dude is living his shoegaze life to a T.
If you didn't point it out would have know that was James lol
Seems like he's thinking about the TED talk he's going to give after this.
E-Channel I’d go to that TED talk.
I know Billy doesn't like playing the oldies. Thanks for indulging us!
Hes played them like 4 nights a week since 2016. It didnt look like he minded.
Dr Toboggan true. But prior to the the “reunion” tour. Pumpkins shows were very eclectic. It actually seems he’s going back to that.
He was against it for awhile but changed his mind.
Dr Toboggan Yeah I actually wrote a huge comment on this exact topic (Billy acknowledging today’s fans mostly only know him as ‘The Rat In a Cage Guy’) elsewhere but I’ll repost part of it here:
The cool thing is if you watch Billy Corgan’s Joe Rogan interview (like 2-3h long and totally worth it - one of the all time best interviews of anyone about anything I’ve ever listened to), Billy discusses all of this at great lengths, and it’s really insightful and shows how much he has grown and matured and recognized the errors of his old ways.
(I cut out the part here about Billy learning in retrospect he should have worked much harder to ensure his BAND all got credit fairly, and not just him.)
Another good one, is Billy addressing to Joe Rogan how he recognizes that most ppl nowadays and even fans at concerts “really only know me as ‘The Rat In a Cage Guy’.” which is both sobering and impressively candid, honest, and humble of Billy to acknowledge. So it’s ironic to me they played that song here and not surprising they all seemed pretty half-hearted about it - Billy especially. He also talked about how he struggled to come to terms with this now that he’s 50 and not in the same place anymore as he was as an angsty early 20-something, and to keep his principles, he wasn’t willing to perform those songs at all if he felt it was gonna be half assed and just being essentially a coin-operated human jukebox... His solution involved a shift in mindset.
I wrote half the shit already lol, but trust me go listen to the Corgan - Rogan podcast!!
problem for most who became famous it was these songs that made a difference.
"I don't know why Billy didn't get along with you! You seem like a mellow dude, man. You don't remember anything...its great!"
jimmy on drums .......amazing
Props to the sound engineers. The sound is wonderfull
No one is better at interviewing bands or musicians than Howard Stern. It's gonna be a sad day when he retires. We love you Howard.
I saw the pumpkins on lollapalooza in 94 and loved hearing Gish and Siamese Dream! Both records are pure HEAVEN! Billy, James, Darcy, and Jimmy doesn’t get better than that! I’m not gonna lie: I REALLY MISS DARCY BEING IN THIS BAND 💔
What lolla date did you go to?
@@vintagememories6560 whatever the date was for Columbus Ohio
Darcy herself is disappointed she didn't get asked to join the band reunion
Despite all his rage, Billy seems to be doing alright for his age.
James says he doesn't remember because he doesn't want a fight with Billy backstage!
Or maybe he just forgot??? Geez! You're making him sound like he's some damn battered wife or something! He has other opportunities as I'm sure you well know! He doesn't have to take Billy's s*** if you dosen't want to! And obviously he doesn't! Which is why they broke up in the first place!!! I've been a fan long enough to see these two fight on stage in front of everyone to see! Nevermind backstage so....
James knows that Billy wrote most if not all parts back in the day.. it's true.
James is a WAY underrated guitarist. He was doing some amazing stuff here. So glad they finally got back together. They seem at peace with each other & having fun. Very sad about Darcy though. I hope she's doing OK.
hippydippy I play guitar and love the Pumpkins but James isn’t doing anything hard it’s really quite chill like him... it does sound good though
The music was written by Billy.
@@snailnslug3 only on siamesse dream
Jake right that’s why James was like “ I don’t remember” when asked how they did that harmony. Billy was the sauce maker, the band was the sauce.
@@sumtin05698 He said Amazing stuff not hard stuff you moron
It warms my heart that the Smashing Pumpkins have reunited! I remember reading the article about when James joined Billy on stage for the first time in years in 2017! I say it over and over again, the 90's are coming back!!!
Billy Corgan’s speaking voice is amazingb
Go listen to his 2-3hr Joe Rogan podcast interview, it’s perhaps the all time best interview I’ve ever heard from anyone on any topic. REALLY insightful and profound stuff from Billy just one after another!! And he fills in a lot of key details of the band’s history.
He's gifted with a beautiful voice
I was amazed by Howard asking James and billy to play those chords progression for him 😂😂😂that was the best part of the show
Yea, “wow you do it one way and he does it another way, it’s amazing!”
Lol
I love that kind of shit!!! These live performances are always great to see what they really sound like on 1 spontaneous take - but that bit Howard did at the end is even better! Bc you could tell they had no idea that was coming, Billy and James kinda look back and forth and you can read their body language how they communicate to sync who’s gonna do what & when.
For me that spontaneous little jam session is when you strip everything away and find out if a musician(s) is the real deal. 👍🏼
he (howard) seems to know a bit about music... and he is curious... nice.
This band never ceases to impress me. True, raw, musicianship.
My favourite song ever ❤❤❤❤❤
Howard Stern is the King of All Media!
And he has Proven It!
His Works Show For Itself!.
This album pretty much lived in my stereo back in the day!
Same
90s music all day... everyday 🙏💜
We love guys Smashing Pumpkins 🤘🏻🖤💜❤️
This is one of the greatest rock songs ever.
The quality of this... both the performance and the equipment are top level.
I wish I had this kind of access to legendary musicians. Not so much being the solitary audience member but the ability to dissect their songwriting process. "Play this riff. Now you play the other riff. Now both of you play them together." I can think of so many bands I'd like to do this to.
Howard is a fortunate dude!!!!!!
Jay Nichols it’s just sad the wrong riff caught his attention, the chorus uses an extremely common chord progressions. Nothing wrong with using them, they sound great in this song, but if you wanna talk about a section of the song with a great riff, it’s that baseline from the verse that’s just genius, simplicity at its finest
Of course, that sounds like fun. Dissecting music and trying out different parts. Without the glamour, without the shine, without the spotlight. Just mistakes, laughter, bad jokes, backhanded comments, and more laughter.
Jay Nichols • I think you found a great idea for a UA-cam channel, having songwriters (famous/or not so famous) break down their songwriting techniques while playing and explaining the origins and/or inspirations of the songs.
I can't say I've seen a lot of that on UA-cam? It would certainly be very entertaining.
Its why HS has always been one of, if not the best interviewer around. John Mellancamp and Billy Joel interviews are great.
I love James Iha's voice. He sounds so chill haha.
One of the greatest vocalists
Lead Guitarist looks happy to be alive.
He's probably bored of always playing this song
That's how James iha is he always like bored look.
That’s true plus James (the guitarist) is playing simple bar cords
He's not bored at all. He's stayed very busy. He's played guitar for A Perfect Circle for a long time now as well as plays in about 5 other bands.
That’s just how James is. He’s actually the silliest guy but has the most dry and deadpan personality. He’s basically trolling everyone all day 😂
Not the same without the ”cage" shriek.
I was just thinking the same that's the best part in my opinion
Billy probably doesn't want to pass out in the middle of a performance again.
Billy's voice was phenomenal back in the day. Not sure if he can do that any more, or if he even wants to. Amazing performance nonetheless.
Agreed.
Bill Aper well he is 52, can’t expect him to sound like he did at half that age
God i love it when billy and james are in harmony.
My God that guitar tone is so heavenly.
Best band of the 90s, but the tension between these guys is palpable at all times.
Maybe that's what makes them great...
@@johnnyhammer Agreed, that seems to be the recurring theme with great bands.
@@johnnyhammer it's really just Brainchild Billy...which isn't bad, but it makes sense why the lineup is always at risk
Brilliance has its consequences.
Bruno great but it’s Nirvana
Great band but AIC>
It's nice to see Jimmy so fit and strong looking.
Awesome at the end. Stern can make the tension dissolve so well with a joke.
Darcy is one of the best most underappreciated bassists ever. No one could ever replace her and what she brought to the band
But Billy wrote and recorded most of those basslines
@@mastod0n1 sure mansplanner
Jack Bates is better
@@softeng2023 He's a master, Master Bates.
He still sounds great!
It's like I'm listening to the recording. Satisfying
The sound quality in that studio is insane.
Observe how Jimmy isn't bashing away the drums, but playing dynamically without needing to hit the drums too hard.
6th grade middle school dance memories. Awesome 👏
how do you dance to this?
Good to see him in a hoodie again, none of that uncle fester crap.
Yeah, that’s when it became ridiculous..
That's so classic, I always wanted to see William with a light bulb in his mouth lit up as a joke, I was hoping in their Halloween video, he would do it for fun it's funny I picture this sometimes,cheers
That was awesome. Uncle Fester was a badass and should have been a rockstar.
Guess you haven't seen what he normally wears live recently. This casual outfit is pretty rare
4:26. James’ transition is awesome.
Amazing drummer.
Billy Corgan is music genius.
He's not dumb thats for sure
He wrote everything for everyone in his band .
Darcy deserves alot of cred too. She was a major influence more than people realize
He thinks so too.
Duggalo because she was a girl.
Brings back memories.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES!
Billy Corgan is one of the best rock Icons of Alternative Rock
That was awesome! The sound guys at the Howard Stern show nailed it again. When Metallica played on this show it was the best sounding performance I’ve heard from them in years.
You're right! Howard's sound engineer is truly talented. That show is making history in the last year's with some of the best performances I've seen from great rock and roll bands...
Haha you should check out their live videos man
Dude their sound is so good, it made me become a Billie Eilish fan, straight up! I didn’t know anything about her and just thought she was some lazy teenage emo fad girl with songs the Instagram sluts all play posing like they’re actually at any risk of “seducing your Dad”.
But then I listened to her 2 performances on this Howard Stern UA-cam clips. HOLY FUCK SHE CAN SING AMAZING!! It’s nothing like the record!! She can sing 10x better than you think!
Seriously I’m a die hard Metal, hard rock, alternative/grunge fan, but go listen to her All The Good Girls Go To Hell video and come back and tell me your jaw didn’t fucking drop basically in the first 5 seconds she begins singing!! For me that was THE music performance of the whole year at least, I haven’t been so stunned and impressed in a long time. Doing it acoustic in Howard’s studio, she did it quite a bit different than the album.
I even posted it to a bunch of my random followers (which does include a significant amount of Billie Eilish fans) and then a poll “Which is better: the acoustic live Howard Stern version of this song? Or the original album version?” (And obviously I assumed all the Eilish fans would be coming in heavily biased towards the album version they already know.)
The results stunned me!! Something like 20:1 Stern/Acoustic vs Album!!!! THATS how good it is!
Funny to see howard sort of directing james and Billy to play the harmony.
@Andrew Peterson Yeah i was thinking that too. lol it's unison just played in different positions
Andrew Peterson The guitars are tuned down a half step, it's E flat / D sharp. Sincerely, a smartss :)
I love that kind of shit!!! These live performances are always great to see what they really sound like on 1 spontaneous take - but that bit Howard did at the end is even better!

I noticed that Billy ended up taking over the count from Howard, that was a power move lol
Brazil here! 🇧🇷
That’s a band! 🤘🏻😎
Wow 25 years and its still as good and relevant.
Great performance!
I Love this Song
Damn he still sounds incredible
I absolutely love the Smashing Pumpkins!!
James in the Canadian tuxedo. As great as it ever was.
Haha....i still rock a canadian tuxedo myself
The sound of these guitars is awesome!
They key to life is looking young I reckon. Even the addicts look great! 🤘
Channeling a wee bit of punk
It's so great to have James and Jimmy back. Jimmy can actually keep a steady tempo without every song progressively speeding up to double time.
James is so fkn cool. One of my favorite guitarists
Thank goodness we still have Jimmy . Much love
So glad Howard brought Smashing Pumpkins into his studio. They are one of the best.
Omg had no idea James was back in the band, the world is good again.
Jimmy stil amazes me after three decades. So fluid and powerfull
THANK YOU BIG MUFF
