He is great! One of the drummers I studied coming up. I played in a band where we played a lot of the pumpkins songs as covers. Jimmy isn't playing this song exactly like he used to. The studio version is very close to what I've always heard him play live, and it seems he is missing a few tiny accents that he is known for in his playing. But even still, lol, dude is better than most drummers we get to here these days.
Not sure if you're replying to me or just trying to impress the general population, but my comment didn't detail my reasoning, history or experience in drumming and music at all. Some people are older, smarter and more experienced than you think. UA-cam is accessible to all, after all. I think your comment on fanboys who repeat what they say to give the illusion blah blah blah just seems a tad elitist and prejudicial. Kind of presumptuous comment overall, really.
This makes me happy. Billy will always be the voice of the pumpkins, and even with his amazing guitar riffs, the sound wasnt the same without Jimmy's heavy drum hands.
@@caiusmadison2996 get what you mean, but if you a good female bassist/singer, it does the job. Always thought melissa auf de marr did a great job with them. Also, big props to jeff shroeder, he's really helped push them forward
@Steve Sherman I would argue that having tenure under an opressive, control freak front man like Corgan is a major issue she didn't deal with in a healthy manner. I am in agreement she has made poor choices over the years, however, I think I understand why for some of it. I would never work with a person like Corgan as he is not a good person, just one of those power driven individuals who walk on whoever and whatever it takes. This is verbatim recounted by other musicians of his time as well, not just every other pumpkin. He's toxic, and when you are hooked on drugs around toxic people, it never ends well for the addict.
Seeing as the comments are mostly about his looks rather than music, I'll add, he looks as he always does totally amazing, gorgeous, & he's my god any day xxxx
This was the first Pumpkins song I ever heard and it was right when it came out. This was part of the comet known as GRUNGE that hit the planet and killed the hair bands.
The pumpkins predated the 'so called' grunge movement by some way. The name hated by all the bands included under the Seattle umbrella. They were all so diverse in sound and looks.
@@davidsevern4765 Yeah, it was really just the 'people wearing normal clothes and not as much makeup' genre of rock. Which *checks video at top of page* uh, no definition holds forever...
I only really ever liked Gish but I totally appreciate this performance because it was Smashing Pumpkins raw,loud & spot on. No backing tracks or assistance from technology. I was starting to forget what a real rock show sounded like.
@Steve Sherman Yes, I have seen her recently and it is a shame what she has done to herself. To me, D'Arcy will always be a part of the Pumpkins. It also looks as though she has had some plastic surgery. I still remember their appearance on SNL when she wore that lace top, horns, and the black makeup under her eyes......she looked gorgeous!
@@patthewoodboy I just seen Darcy in person about 3 months ago and she looked fabulous... stunning.. you can't go by a ten year old mug shot...plus she is a awesome person.
Jimmy looks like a weird amalgamation of Daniel Craig as Bond and Matt Cameron. Oh wait, he IS a weird amalgamation of Daniel Craig as Bond and Matt Cameron...
@Steve Sherman : Regardless of her personal situation, it's still a shame that she's not with the band. Yes, Billy Corgan wrote the majority of the music, every SP fan knows that, but she was still a huge part of the growth of the band. Her presence was well respected.
Always dug the Pumpkins, but Corgan looks more like Sloth from Goonies every day . Darcy was fucking hot as hell, wonder what she is up to decades later
I’ve seen Billy so many times slamming other 90’s bands for lack of talent and musicality. If I walked into a bar and heard this rendition of this song, I’d go back to door, get my money back, and go to the next bar and put it in the jukebox. And play maybe play Nirvana just to spite him.

Nicely done
Billy Corgan's transformation to Uncle Fester nears completion.
Yeah, wearing some vampire clothes n shit
"Don't overlook my butt, I work out all the time. And reaping burns a lot of calories."
What a douche, Billy must've been buttraped as a child like Korn's singer. Explains the shitty music as well.
Just needs the lightbulb in his mouth!
Lmao
Darth Vader when his helmet was removed.
Steven Samson looking very Sith Lord.
Wow, original commenting right here.
i thought it was more uncle fester after blowing up another expiriment
Voldemort killing it on guitar. 👌🏼
Matthew Snart haha he put a spell on you
Hahahahaha this is a great comment. Made me lol
Iconic guitar riff. Song still slaps. RIP Billy's hair
You're a little late on news, yeah ? He hasn't had hair in 2 decades..
He's incredible
Always loved Chamberlin. Crazy good drummer.

Luc Vaillancourt looks easy. Like he’s on his couch
Very underrated. Tragically so. He's very dynamic. Fluid too.

Caius Madison under rated? Are you serious?! He has massive respect in the drummer community, the media, and fans. You know nothing if you think that
This makes me happy. Billy will always be the voice of the pumpkins, and even with his amazing guitar riffs, the sound wasnt the same without Jimmy's heavy drum hands.
Original lineup 👍🏼 but Darcy is looking rough.......
I adore this song, I love how it sounds in Eb tuning too
Anyone else think Billy looks like a Cenobite from Hellraiser, or is it just me? Great band.
That’s a no then. Embarrassing for you
Billy needs a few pins sticking out of his head. Lol
Thought I was the only one. Lol. You're not alone.
Great vid!!! They sounded great and actually billy looked happy to be there 👍
Why Billy look like emperor Palatine?
Let meow
James Iha and Billy Corgan on stage again... Simply beautiful
corgan, iha, chamberlain. All you need.
Still should have D'Arcy. She was a main staple for their big years. It's sad bands get where they can't just do it for the fans.
@@caiusmadison2996 get what you mean, but if you a good female bassist/singer, it does the job. Always thought melissa auf de marr did a great job with them. Also, big props to jeff shroeder, he's really helped push them forward

The way billy plays looks so effortless. That left hand has a story to tell
Frankly it’s not a very difficult song, besides the solo which can be a tad tricky
@@andrewunknown111 I know, it was the first song I learned. I'm just infatuated with the way he makes his axes sing
@@roberth9948 oh agreed. That strat’s his little bitch
If the vampire Nosferatu, A Japanese businessman, and Hawkeye from the Avengers all started a band, it would be Smashing Pumpkins circa 2019.
Ongo Gablogian well done, lol!
@@db_uptown4239 Thanks. 😂 honestly love them though.

@@db_uptown4239 Yes! I've played that video several times! What a great concert. 😎
OMG！ Memories of my teenage years~
Wow, still slaying it Billy! Could do without the upside down cross, trench coat thing look though.
It's great to see Billy in his element again. They sound awesome!!!
they havent sounded this good in a long long time,simply fucking spectacular:)
Great to see them there wish they had much longer to play, Enjoyed greatly,a puka band!
Wow...SNL '93 is a long ways away.
Wow, great performance!
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU BILLY CORGAN
happy looking bunch
Didn't see the Star Wars spoiler coming, when I came here-
One of my favourite grunge band. Smashing Pumpkin 2019 still got it.. and they are making a new album.. yesssssssssssssssssssss
Great video!!!
Wow, they sounded good!
Looks like he has no emotions left
25 years playing same songs kills everybody's soul.
He said it himself on his hit song "tonight tonight
" the more you change the less you feel, tonighhtttt..
that is rad that the kid he got years ago is still playing with him.
Lazlo Hollyfeld Jeff is a amazing every bit as talented as corgan Or iha..
@@clisk35 no doubt. Saw an old video when he started with the band and he was way young. big props to Billy for giving him an honest shot!
Too good !
Awesome
Well, I never thought Jimmy C would be back so I shouldn't be surprised that James Iha is back and still there.
Jimmy has been back on and off for years. He never really left long term. James is the one who was gone for over 15 years
@@nixter417 I know. I was just amazed they're both still there.
Nice to see pumpkins sounding good.
Great song.
the 1993 SNL version of "CR" blows this version away!
ron russo you had D on bass
It was 26 years ago and that energy has faded away with old age.
Seeing as the comments are mostly about his looks rather than music, I'll add, he looks as he always does totally amazing, gorgeous, & he's my god any day xxxx
Here in 2019!
4:40 TROLLED!

was there,slayer playing there last show on the other stage, had to see pumpkins thoe
Jimmy - what a fucking drummer
This set was a masterclass, the only other band on the bill on the same level as Tool imho.
Naaaaah nothing, knowhere fucking blew my box aswell. Great year tho tbh
I'm wondering when Agent Smith is going to pass by this gig and see Neo rocking a blue Strat
Saw them in Tampa last year...incredible show. If D'Arcy had been included it would have been epic. They still sound great though.
You goin to see slipknot sept 6th?
@@jamesmorris911 Not sure if I could handle Slipknot!

Senator Palpatine rocks a mean guitar.
I only clicked on this to say Corgan is trying to look like Quan Chi from Mortal Kombat. WTF is he doing!? Lol
As a Tool fan, singers dressing up like this is quite normal!
😭😭
did Billy sell his Impact Wrestling investment refund yet?
Who knew Nosferatu was such a good guitar player
Fuck what home boy looks like, just listen to those fucking riffs.
This is the original smashing pumpkins minus d-arcy
plus +jeff (+joy division's son; touring bassist jack bates
I believe this tour Billy traveled by Space craft
Jimmy chainberlin has such a magic feel...
Supreme Leader Snoke rocks!
Palpatine is that you
Daydream Believer
RIP Billy's voice 😭😭
Misfits + Ziggy Stardust = *2019 Smashing Pumpkins*
Billy looks like he can be in the next Star Wars movie
Miss D’arcy .....
Billy sounds so much better now
great job Nosferatu
Whoa, D'arcy has REALLY let herself go.
Yeah might be time to give it up i reckon
Man, Darcy is looking rough...
hes better looking , you want to see her in real life , she looks like death
Drugs are bad......mmmmkay
@@patthewoodboy I just seen Darcy in person about 3 months ago and she looked fabulous... stunning.. you can't go by a ten year old mug shot...plus she is a awesome person.
😂
@@charlesm8482 were you wearing really dark lenses and she was facing the other way with a paper bag on her head ?
Jimmy looks like a weird amalgamation of Daniel Craig as Bond and Matt Cameron.
Oh wait, he IS a weird amalgamation of Daniel Craig as Bond and Matt Cameron...
Gish is all that is needed.
Heck, Uncle Fester can still play a mean guitar!
Where is the girl in basist??
No D'arcy. What a shame. Seeing her up there with the boys would've completed it. Oh well.
@Steve Sherman : Regardless of her personal situation, it's still a shame that she's not with the band. Yes, Billy Corgan wrote the majority of the music, every SP fan knows that, but she was still a huge part of the growth of the band. Her presence was well respected.
Uncle fester is that you
Corgan lookin like a member of the Cenobites from Hell Raiser.
where's Darci?
How come no one looks like they are having fun?
I guess he's throwing it back to the glam/goth days? Black and aluminum?
That a boy get back on that Stratocaster.
Fuckin *EDGE LORD*
Wheres D'arcy??!!
Prolly in a gutter somewhere with a needle in her arm.
Wait. Is that Peter Hook’s son on bass?
Yes
did he say who wants donny?
Corgan lookin' more and more like Nosferatu these days...........
Emperor Palpatine can play guitar pretty well
Why is the bass player on the stage?
Billy is turning into Nosferatu
and Darcy has grown a beard.
Perhaps Dany wouldn't have torched Lord Varys if she'd seen him play this.
Where's D'arcy?
When did D'Arcy grow a beard?
Always dug the Pumpkins, but Corgan looks more like Sloth from Goonies every day .
Darcy was fucking hot as hell, wonder what she is up to decades later
wow ...awesome ...Dont see darcy though
Yeah but Billy sang "wish you were here" I could swear he was thinking at her 😝!!! Joke!!! Very bad though without
D'arcy
@@paolabenazzi2319 how is it bad without d'arcy? You can barely hear the bass here, pretty sure d'arcy wouldnt sound any better
@@ukkovuorela4196 nothing to say against jack bates but D'arcy is the original bass and in my opinion a reunion is with everyone
Is he singing "who wants that zombie" ? ? ?
EL HIJO DE PETER HOOK EN EL BAJO
It's not SP without a female bassist.
I see Hooky's son on ze bass..
When Uncle Fester and Kirsten Dunst had a baby and it learned how to play the guitar....
Count Orlok is a pretty good guitar player.
Poor old nun just wants her dress back
