I don't care what anyone says, Nothing's Shocking and Gish are two of the best albums ever created by mankind, and I'm glad I discovered them near day one of release. Those two albums blew away myself and everyone around me that heard them.
Meh. Gish is a poor man’s Nirvana / Pearl Jam.
Smashing Pumpkins has some ok songs though. 1979, Today.
couldn’t agree more with every written words here.!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
🤘🏻🇦🇺🌏✌🏻 ☺️😊😃
100%
@Steve Sherman Nirvana were good (Nevermind was pretty overrated). I think Pearl Jam are boring af. At least Nirvana had energy and great hooks.
No truer words have been spoken!
#RunnerGoFor2024😂😂
Smashing Pumpkins' Gish and Siamese Dream as well as Jane's Addictions' Nothing Shocking and Ritual De Lo Habitual were basically my bibles through middle school and early high school. The nostalgia is deep...
yup!
Jane’s Addiction was a revelation. The band I was in ‘88-90 was basically us copying Jane’s and the Cure.
So glad to see Perry and Eric getting along
My two favorite bands of that "era." They brought the psychedelia to their juice.
Mine too!!!
It was a tasty juice
Did you happen to listen to the album Dig by I Mother Earth back then? Most people never heard of them. They are from Canada and that album was phenomenal. They had one song on Headbangers Ball.
You don't need to put quotes around "era" like I do here.
Not a word
I need an hour long interview like this.
VOTE Jane's Addiction to Rock n Roll Hall of fame 2024 ! pass it around !!
I was a teen in the 90s, the feeling and emotion I still get from these two bands is still the same, it's just amazing!!!
Same, my friend...same!
Nothing short of two legends who influenced my childhood in ways I could never repay them for. A million thanks to them both!!
Man, just saw them in St Louis, what a great time! I remember me & my friends listening to Jane’s, Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, AIC, Rage, ministry, helmet, NIN, Nirvana, chili peppers, breeders, and so much more back in 90-93, when everyone else was still listening to pop rap stuff. I was SO ready for this. I always wished I grew up in the late 60s so I could experience all that great music as it was coming out, but looking back I was pretty lucky to be coming of age right when I did at the beginning of the alternative wave. I just wish I would’ve actually seen these bands live back then. So I FINALLY just saw pumpkins for the first time, and it was my 2nd Janes show. So bummed that Dave is still sick, especially since Eric came back. I hope he fully recovers. But Troy really did an amazing job.
I was at that show and I concur. They were both insanely good.
I second ALL of that, after seeing them in St Paul the other week (what a show!) but better late than never though. For some reason I never saw these two bands in the 90s, but they couldn't have been any better live then than they are now.
Better late than never!
Don't miss out on these bands! 😟
also at stl show i felt janes addiction was “eh” smashing pumpkins were awesome
This tour is fantastic. Seeing Jane’s was really cool; they were on fire. The Pumpkins slayed. No one balances the sweet against the brutal so masterfully. 🤘🏻 🎃
Shut up
Good to know - I’m seeing them on 11/19 at the Hollywood Bowl.
It was a great concert in Tampa. Perry was sticking it to the politicians and Billy was trolling TB12.
Agreed. Was at NYC show
Mohegan Sun show was fantastic - so fun. Troy has stepped in so well and it's great to have Eric out there. And Perkins rocks - two of the best rock drummers at one show!
I saw Jane's Addiction live in Jan. 1987 at the Roxy Theater in West Hollywood when they recorded their first album. Good show. That said, I'll always be more partial to the independent music scene that flourished in Los Angeles earlier in the decade (1980 to 1985): X, Black Flag, the Germs, Minutemen, Flesh Eaters, Los Lobos, the Blasters, Dream Syndicate, etc. An amazing variety of local bands fostered by a grass roots music scene.
Saw them at Madison Square Garden and them both were BEYOND AMAZING...Jane's show is insane and Pumpkins sound & set is outta this world and unbeatable. Worth every single dollar I paid to see them both. Now I am back at the UK wishing for them to come here soon!
saw them there too!! they were incredible!
Saw them in St. Louis on Tuesday. Amazing show!
MSG was great! Loved it
Perry is a living legend. It's wonderful how much respect Billy has for him, and rightfully so!
Both bands - full of soul. Glorious!
Was blessed enough to see them at the Hollywood bowl what a great experience 🎉🎉😢😢❤❤😊😊😊
Statistically, Perry should not be with us anymore. Amazing he is still alive. Fried, but still alive.
I was at the Cleveland show, left stunned at how awesome both bands were. Great show.
Billy's got the sick kicks
Louis Vuitton sneakers in a color probably only available to Rockstars. Its all about the shoes 👟 well not really but they do look 🔥
I LOVE Perry. Wish I could make this tour. What an experience seeing these two powerhouses together. Such unique bands. Billy's memory is incredible.
It was awesome! Jane's surprised me. Perry's voice is amazing and the solos were hypnotic.
I’ve always been more of a Slayer/Pantera guy. But man…Nothings Shocking, Ritual, Gish and Siamese Dream were always great albums and I’ve had great times while listening too them. Epic
thats awesome to hear, man. as a hardcore pumpkins fan, i appreciate it when people who predominantly listen to metal can appreciate alt-rock albums like Siamese Dream and Nothing's Shocking.
Best Smashing Pumpkins tour I've experienced out of 20 shows, starting with the Infinite Sadness tour in 1996. The energy and vibe of this show is second to none. Also very impressed with Poppy, Meg Myers and Jane's Addiction. 🤘
Two iconic bands, two amazing people. True artists are very rare in this world today and Perry and Billy are examples of two of the best we have. Whether you like their music or not you cannot deny the fact they are survivors who weathered every storm and are still out there doing it. That kinda passion is rare.
Saw these guys in Minneapolis. What a great show. Your sound system can't replicate how much better they sound live. Cherub Rock live, amazing.
I can't wait for a beautiful show at Hollywood Bowl. You all are amazing 🤩
How did you like it ??
Troy is one of those unique artists that just hit it, every 🎶 note.
I would shake his hand.
Just saw them live last night in Detroit.. hands down the best concert I've ever been to. Jane and the Pumpkins KILLED it 🎃🎸
Just saw them in Anaheim 11/16/2022 brought back sooo many good times. They sound great 👍❤
Billy I will always remember growing up together from grade school on sitting next to each other. You are always scribbling in your notebooks obviously thinking of your songs😊I used to say “Billy pay attention” & share my class notes lol 😅 This is a fabulous interview! I was so bummed when I couldn’t see you at our last GNHS reunion. I would love to connect with you. Always 💕Nannette Rabe
Just saw them on the Spirits of Fire tour and they're right, Troy was an incredible guitar player on stage for Jane's Addiction.
Two absolute game changers in Rock N Roll. Both Jane's addiction and Smashing Pumpkins are a huge part of my teenage yeras and beyond.
I got to see the Pumpkins with the original lineup back 95 or 96’. Actually, it was minus Jimmy Chamberlain. It was at the Rose Garden arena in Portland, OR. Their keyboardist had just died and they ended up rescheduling for December of that year. The frogs drummer and keyboardist stood in. Amazing show. The highlight was seeing them play Drown as it segued into Silverf**k. Awesome show.
Same here. For the Mellon Collie Tour. I saw them in Austin Texas in 96
The Rose Garden show was on January 7th, 1997.
I was there too. My very first concert, and i was only 15 years old. Left me absolutely stunned. Still the best show I've ever seen out of the hundreds I've been to since.
Same. Dallas 1996.
Wasnt it the keyboardist from The Frogs and Matt Walker from Filter on drums?
Thank both of you. Just got to witness the 10/22 Pit and 10/29 clev show. You guys rock,and thanks for taking me back to 1996. I will probably never get that experience again and I got it twice!
Yay!!! Two of my all-time favourite bands!
I just saw the tour in Denver on Nov. 7, 2022. Thanks for the memories, it was a hell of a good show!
Milwaukee gig was outstanding!
Waited 32 years to see Jane's.
Such a good show!
This was the best tour I've been to in years
For anyone watching this considering going to see this show I say GO TO THE SHOW!!!! saw them last night and it was a outstanding show.🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘
I'm so there! November 11, Vancouver! I first saw Jane's at the very beginning of the Ritual tour in 1990! Cheers
Boston 10.16.22- **AMAZING** Brought us back to youth. THANK YOU.
Seen them in Cleveland last week. Both bands killed it! Great show both bands still on top of their game.
I got to see them on this tour, and it was pretty amazing. They put on a hell of a show. I hope I get to see them again
Love these two guys and these two bands!!! The best!!!
As someone who graduated HS in the early 90s this strikes a chord. I first heard Janes in 1990ish and became a huge fan. They were kind of pre-grunge. Definitely some 80s hard rock influences but the end result was something pretty unique.
I saw Jane’s Addiction and The Smashing Pumpkins last night at the Chase Centre (San Francisco, CA). Both bands sounded great. I do think The Smashing Pumpkins were quite amazing opening with ‘Starla’ and performing ‘Stand Inside Your Love’ and ‘Silverfuck’!
love this
I can't wait to see Smashing Addiction!
Saw you guys in Chicago, best concert I've seen in a long time.
Living legends
Saw the show in Hollywood, FL. was ROCKIN'!!
Perry said something at the concert that lifted my spirits and the pumpkins, what can I say. You took me way back. Thank you. Always be true.
Thank you is all I can say to you guys
Just got back from the STL show-it rocked!!!-I took my 30 yr old son to see the bands I’ve loved and he was blown away, well done Pumpkins & JA-I felt twenty something all over again❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
SP played beautifully in Toronto! Billy's voice is still great, almost two hours setlist, the whole band had such great energy. But I was appalled by the cancellation of Jane's Addiction :( I still dream of what it could have been.
I saw both of these guys live here in Seattle 11/12/22. Was fricken awesome. I was in awe. Corgan sounded a lil sick but nonetheless the performance still left a mark on me. Loved it so much, especially since it was my first concert ever.
Just made it bsck from Nashville. 5,000 miles. Mahalo to SP and JA. Cant put it on words. Need SxPx
That was dope.
Saw them in milwaukee on Oct 30th this year, awesome show
"I would for You" is so freaking Epic imo it was an instant attraction
Less than 2 weeks away from Seattle, can't wait!
Adore and 1979 are my favorites and thanks for playing them. I saw you last night in San Francisco
Just saw them in Milwaukee and it was extraordinary
Saw them in Denver. Incredible show and Poppy was a great opener.
Saw them in Vancouver on Nov 11th, was an awesome show, both bands were great.
Seeing em tomorrow in Portland!!!!!!! I can’t wait!!!!!!
cancelled!! Oh no.. sorry to hear about that.
They are me and I am them. I found true magic thru this era. ☮️ ❤️
2 living legends
Awsome wish that Janes played last week when i went to see them in Philly, I was very bummed out but Pumpkins played great as always!!❤
Seen the pumpkins one week ago today one fucken word iconic
Jane's was my band in the '90s... helped me get thru high school.
The older I get the more I relate and comprehend his songs and lyrics . ❤
Greatest generation of music. Incredibly young genuinely talented musicians whose music is still as relevant as ever. GenX💜💜💜💜
Great show - Troy was fantastic and PERKINS rocked!
Yeah he did!
I saw the show at MSG. Both bands put on a great show... seeing Daniel Ash was also a great surprise!
The Smashing Pumpkins & Jane's Addiction Are In My All Time Greatest List Of Rock & Roll. 😎✌
I was just thinking about Perry and wondering where he was the other day. Thanks for this
...love it
I saw them at Madison Sq Garden 2 weeks ago probably one of the top 5 concerts I’ve went to
GenX growing up in Seattle and being in my early twenties during that period,you know local,,but these two,MAN I can only think of a few other bands during that era that really hit like you both,Chilli Peppers but I had to go to LA to see,hear, experience them Hollywood Hill,you all and I mean really hit.
Thank you.
The Titans of Alternative Rock, my fave time and genre
We want this tour in South America
Jane says and 1979,,,.
RIP Lehman.
Thank you both for all the memories.
i miss the early 90's so much..
His life story is amazing.
I met Perry at Mt Baldy , when scouting for coming down the mountain video , he actually invited us attend , we shot pool. I did not even know who they were . Love your music !!!
Saw em both rock out in Chicago!
11/5/22
🤘😬🤘
I tell you I'm so glad I grew up at the time I did.😀
gonna be honest: this was probably the most humble I've seen WPC in a *hot* minute.. c;
Smashing pumpkins rock great music !
saw that at dallas for my first concert at 13 omg
I'm just glad I grew up in the generation I did and I'm still alive to say it.
I saw "Smashing Pumpkins" (only billy and jimmy from the original lineup) around 2007 and the opening band was called "satellite party". Like most opening bands you haven't heard of I barely noticed them coming on stage but then they started playing "been caught stealing" and from way way back I thought "is that Perry Farrell??". He proceeded to completely tear it up, finished with Jane Says while coming out into the crowd and sharing his bottle of wine with us.
Lot of people diss both Perry and Billy, i personally like them both as people. They seem more down to earth than people say. The way these two talk to each other is just sweet. I love both bands, Pumpkins is a top 20 band for me, but Jane’s is top 5. Really looking forward to new music from Jane’s and Porno for Pyros.
Can't help but chuckle a little bit about how much Billy Corgan talked down on "nostalgia bands" and how he'd never be in one... and now that he's embraced nostalgia and playing the hits he's playing bigger venues again 😂😂😂
I regret not seeing the Pittsburgh leg of this tour. Even though Janes addiction canceled it's still sound like it was an amazing show. Couldn't find anybody that wanted to go which is weird because all my friends are smashing pumpkins fans
Saw the Pumpkins this year sadly it was a date that Janes had to cancel but was still amazing, Billy sounded as good as ever!
In my mind (a scary place , lol) these are two legends. , love you guys
Also. Obviously, I'm a 80s kid
Nothing shocking was a great album that helped me in difficult time of my life. Mountain song is my favorite
It's amazing how Corgan was able to reflect and show humility as he expressed on Rogan.
Not many people do that,hats off.
Prices for concerts are just too high now. Couldn't afford to go.
Yep plus no one comes to my state and I dont want to go to Chicago so there's that. To go to a concert when you live in a rural area is basically a mini vacation these days.
The Kings of the Scene
I saw both of them in Austin TX and they destroyed. It was kind of amazing. These guys only get better and better as time goes on.
