One of the best Pumpkins song Ever. I don't give a shit who's on drums or bass or any of that. As long as Billy's strumming his guitar and singing with his beautiful voice all is right with the world❤️🤘
He's a brilliant singer because no one else could provide the emotional interpretation his incredible lyrics demand. Much like Bob Dylan. God forbid Corgan's lyrics succumbed to the syrupy vocal stylings of "really good singer" Paul McCartney or even the late Chris Cornell who was too much in control of his great voice to do the originality and quirkiness of Pumpkins music and lyrics even the slightest favor. Billy Corgan is already the greatest composer/interpreter of rock that America has ever produced and the legacy keeps growing. So Kymberli, all is right with you.
I agrizzle with drums bass but Jeff is badass Billy found a guy he can go to to figure out how to do something he wants to as awesome as Billy is like a gunslinger there's always someone as good or better and he found him.
Probably my favorite song by the Pumpkins, Billy never ceases to amaze me. His voice is just perfect in my eyes, and he nails it here. I hope to see them live one day, fucking sweet performance.
This reminds me of the tv show Dukes of Hazard when the original actors went on strike so they hired some other actors that kinda looked like them and made them wear the same clothes.
The documentary where they were looking to replace Jimmy showed this kid's audition, so glad he got to play with them, he was too young to tour with them due to certain venues being over 21s only. Good to see this kid doing an amazing job and having fun with them
Haha I know it's acoustic, but so typical Billy to look towards and point to the electric guitarists at 2:18 when the solo comes in and then still play it himself. Great rendition of one of my top 5 pumpkins songs, but that just made me laugh.
I watched that part again, and I'm pretty sure his gesture was just a visual queue to the drummer to bring it down. You can see them kinda laugh about it after his solo.
I do miss the original lineup (although a reunion is likely soon), I think performance wise Jimmy is the only one the band really misses. Billy sounds really good in this particular performance aswell
I remember back in the day, I didn't know that this song was off the Singles soundtrack and not off Saimese Dream. I hated that and also loved it because back then you had to buy that soundtrack to get the song. I did buy Saimese Dream looking forward to hearing that song tho..but Geek USA did and always has made up for that.
Fucking fantastic. What can I say? I like everyone had doubts about a new line up (espeacially Jimmy leaving) but this is the greatest live version of drown Ive heard. If this was the original line up everyone would be saying how amazing it is but the SP original snobs dont like the fact its new. Add to that two great new songs Freak and Tom Tom. Things are going foward for SP again
Remember how Billy once said when the original Pumkins first had come on stage, they'd noticed people simply'd liked to stare at them? It's the first time I actually like looking at this lineup.
Wrap your heads around this, Jeff Schroeder has been a member of the Smashing Pumpkins 13 years. James Iha was a member for 12 when they broke up in 2000. So for all the talk of Billy and his band, I understand that the original lineup is nostalgic, but Jeff is arguably just as seasoned a member as James was, and is also a far greater musical force than James was. He came to the Pumpkins as a virtuoso player, played the parts that James never played all that well live ( he can play the parts that Billy recorded on the albums). And he probably has his playing in considerably more recorded album tracks than James does at this point. I love the original lineup too, but Jeff actually can hang with Billy in the playing department, and he deserves a lot of credit for that. Not to mention being able to put up with Billy Corgan for 13 years lol.
thats why he didnt get rid of Jeff when they reunited with the old members! Considering pumpkins have 30ish guitar tracks in a lot of their songs its only right they have 3 guitarists..
I thought some high school students won't a competition and got to play with Billy. No, they were actually replacement members of the band and really good!
I'll give you Jimmy. Melissa Auf Da Mer said something similar, all Billy needs is himself and Jimmy. People do need to stop acting like Billy can't make a SP record without Iha and D'arcy, he made Siamese Dream just fine without them!
the KId miffed it on the second verse usually monsterous fill,. However those are some pretty huge shoes to fill. I seen this kid play before he is very skilled and talented... he just got nevous.
Man i just time warped back to 1992!!! I've only heard the album version before, this tunes holds up so good acoustic.. love the acoustic and tele combo, raw bass tone, hot rods on the kit!!! DEADLY! Who's the kid on the drums?? lol
Haha, I love how Billy and Mike both look at each other and laugh during Billy's solo. I suspect they both know how funny it sounds on an acoustic guitar.
Ah... no E-Bow : ( I knew there was something missing. The other guy has an electric guitar, so he could have played it. No Billy, you didn't hit your high note on "I wish, I wish, I could LIE"! Sorry, Billy's been doing that live forever. I have this S.P. Live CD, or rather a burnt copy that's scratched up now. 1/2 of it's acoustic, and 1/2 electric. In the acoustic set Corgan fails to his the high note in "Mayonnaise". His voice cracks on "I just want to BE..., me!" He laughs it off in good humor. I thought that it was cool before I began to take singing classes, and private lessons. Corgan has a unique voice, a cool style, but he's not really versatile. In fact, If I were given the chance, by the time I'm his current age, and we're like a decade a part, I'd be doing some cool things. Getting that opportunity, that's a whole different story. Overall performance, not bad, but the drummer does speed up the tempo, something Jimmy Chamberlain would never do. Gives me bad memories of Jimmy going to jail, and having to see the real S.P. with Filter's drummer. Everything was sped up, and the songs on Mellon Collie don't sound good that way.
I agree with you, Corgan is the Pumpkins...but even if they were a "live band" they were a damn good one at that. Jimmy Chamberlain is one of the better drummers, and James was a fantastic guitarist. D'Arcy was never the best bassist but I think Jimmy and James were such a huge part of the Pumpkins. Still listen to them and enjoy doing so.
The drummer is only 21-2 tops, but the other 2 members are in their 30s and have been around the block a few times with other bands, so they have enough cred to be in the band :)
This new version of SP is awesome.. I always thought that Darcy wasn't really that talented and Iha just looked cool next to the bald guy, Jimmy can never be replaced but Mikey is super talented and I'm really excited to hear Oceania..
They all are good but they will never be The Smashing Pumpkins, just Corgan´s new and current combo, Jimmy Chamberlin will always be THE absolute Smashing Pumpkins drummer... PERIOD!
@riotdave Mike uses tom, floor tom and bass drum while jc used snare, tom, bass drum... Maybe you would be happy if Mike tapes a paper print of JC over his face when he preforms. :/
@riotdave It is Smashing Pumpkins as it says in the name. You have argued none of my points, but just stated that Im wrong. 1. No she wasn't. And 2. So what?
This song never gets the praise it deserved, it's one of their best ever, and Nichol Fiorentino's base is great on here, sadly better than Darcy Wretzky's.
it's not that Jimmy Chamberlain cannot be replaced; its just that this isnt the drummer to do it. 2:19 - 2:28 ouch; if your gonna do down, go down in flames, all guns blazing. there is no room for in-decision.
and told them it was the original line up theyd no doubt say its great. Not sure about your "higher taste" and "only hipsters" comments but I guess each to their own and we all have our own indivigual tastes.
@19KISStheSKY97 a name is nothing. what's missing here is the unique way JC's drums enriched billy's guitar (and sometimes Iha's). Compare for instance, the tom-floor-tom fills right before the guitar solo here with those in any live version back in the siamese/mellon collie days.I am not saying this guy sucks,I am saying Jimmy is unique,on stage like in studio. if you are a musician, you get this. Cheers .
@richardsuarez23 Yes....compare a relatively novice drummer with Jimmy, who has been playing for more years than this drummer has lived. Fucking brilliant.
well, I personally have MCIS at first place and Zietgiest bottom of the list of my fav Pumpkins work (didnt like Zietgiest at all) Teargarden would probably be 4th fav. When I say SP snobs Im not refering to people who prefer the old stuff or even people who flat out dont like the new stuff. Im refering to people who have actually said to me Im not even going to bother listening to the new stuff based on Zietgiest or the new line up. If I were to play said people this video with just the sound
This looks like Billy walked into a School of Rock and said "let's jam"
Honey, I Shrunk Jimmy Chamberlin
Hahaha
My favorite smashing pumpkins song being covered by Billy Corgan and his garage band!!!
Smashing's Top 3 aka S Tier:
1. 1979
2. Drown
3. Tonight, Tonight
Their best song, and one of the greatest songs ever
Oh and Mayonnaise!
You haven't heard Mayonaise!
Smashing's Top 3 aka S Tier:
1. 1979
2. Drown
3. Tonight, Tonight
This song was my introduction to SP...and almost 25 years later its still my favorite song.
One of the best Pumpkins song Ever. I don't give a shit who's on drums or bass or any of that. As long as Billy's strumming his guitar and singing with his beautiful voice all is right with the world❤️🤘
This performance shows what James and Jimmy brought to the group. Would it kill the drummer to sit in the pocket just a bit? This isn’t a march.
Beautiful voice? That's a bit much. Love the pumpkins but a great singer Billy is not. Mostly sounds like a cat in a cement mixer
He's a brilliant singer because no one else could provide the emotional interpretation his incredible lyrics demand. Much like Bob Dylan. God forbid Corgan's lyrics succumbed to the syrupy vocal stylings of "really good singer" Paul McCartney or even the late Chris Cornell who was too much in control of his great voice to do the originality and quirkiness of Pumpkins music and lyrics even the slightest favor.

mini jimmy, mini darcy, and mini james are doing quite a good job!
Nahh these guys are good
Biggy Corgan
I agrizzle with drums bass but Jeff is badass Billy found a guy he can go to to figure out how to do something he wants to as awesome as Billy is like a gunslinger there's always someone as good or better and he found him.
I don't think D'arcy can play anymore.
@@marcosr666 He looks in good shape on that vid.
Probably my favorite song by the Pumpkins, Billy never ceases to amaze me. His voice is just perfect in my eyes, and he nails it here. I hope to see them live one day, fucking sweet performance.
This reminds me of the tv show Dukes of Hazard when the original actors went on strike so they hired some other actors that kinda looked like them and made them wear the same clothes.
@ODIN Force it's a good show anyway
I miss the '90s & '80s
I never heard such beauty in other bands.
The Smashing pumpkins are the best for sure.
The documentary where they were looking to replace Jimmy showed this kid's audition, so glad he got to play with them, he was too young to tour with them due to certain venues being over 21s only. Good to see this kid doing an amazing job and having fun with them
Nicole is what made me follow through with bass guitar!
Awww, that's awesome!
Not D'arcy? D'arcys a whole lot better than Nicole
Nicole????
@@moonontheman1657 EXACTLY! D'arcy is classically trained in 🎻 like me. She also played Oboe. D'arcy was MY reason to switch to bass in college.
I Love This Band! Billy voice will Always be Awesome!
Haha I know it's acoustic, but so typical Billy to look towards and point to the electric guitarists at 2:18 when the solo comes in and then still play it himself. Great rendition of one of my top 5 pumpkins songs, but that just made me laugh.
I think it would fit the song better with the acoustic while the electric holds down the rhythm.
I watched that part again, and I'm pretty sure his gesture was just a visual queue to the drummer to bring it down. You can see them kinda laugh about it after his solo.
@@HungarianMafioso yes
I thought Jeff missed his queue to play the solo, so Billy stepped in. At the end you can hear Billy say Jeff. 😆
The guy on the drumms looks like he still can't believe he is playing for the Pumpkins. He looks absolutely happy.
@ODIN Force that’s a hard no. He may be good, but Jimmy Chamberlin is top 5 of all time.
Gay
such a fuckin good song. remembered it was featured in a 90s movie, "singles" by director cameron crowe. :)
One of my all time favourite songs, beat, lyrics & musicians, make this tune a toe tapping , try and sing along
(haha) song.
Smashing Pumpkins are awesome,but I honestly miss the old band.just saying!!!
I do miss the original lineup (although a reunion is likely soon), I think performance wise Jimmy is the only one the band really misses. Billy sounds really good in this particular performance aswell
This is absolutely fantastic.
I remember back in the day, I didn't know that this song was off the Singles soundtrack and not off Saimese Dream. I hated that and also loved it because back then you had to buy that soundtrack to get the song.
I did buy Saimese Dream looking forward to hearing that song tho..but Geek USA did and always has made up for that.
Same with breath and state of love and trust by pearl jam
Totally bought the singles soundtrack for this song😂😂🤘
The Singles soundtrack was incredible. The entire album.
this is my favorite song. ever. all stop.
AMAZING
This song is soo cool ever ❤
What a fantastic performance!
Great song, I love this acoustic version!
Billy's School of Rock was awesome! And they were great together ~
I've got it frozen at 1:21. I think Billy has had the THREE hottest bassists in history in his band. The man is a genius.
You think Jack is hot?
one of my fave
incredible
it was a nice song... i love it.... nice music with good sounds....
Fucking fantastic. What can I say? I like everyone had doubts about a new line up (espeacially Jimmy leaving) but this is the greatest live version of drown Ive heard. If this was the original line up everyone would be saying how amazing it is but the SP original snobs dont like the fact its new. Add to that two great new songs Freak and Tom Tom.

beautiful melody, thanks Billy, keep up the good work, I love playing your music on acoustic, I can't get enough of it,,,,,,,,keep it coming Pumpkins!
Yea his music is very therapeutic
Great version.
loving the bass...class as usual
No, they weren't the ONES.... but they did a great job!!!! LOVE this song
billy is and will always be the heart and soul of The s.p..
im just glad he didnt give up on music like the rest of sp did.
Gotta love the bass
Nice that Billy let the kids from the rocket video play along with him

3. Tonight, Tonight
love it.. billy
Billy Corgan and his band playing a beloved Smashing Pumpkins song.
Jeff Schroeder has just as much time in the band as James did before his return.
You are a genius too! Billy had FOUR female bass players in his band: D'Arcy Wretzky, Melissa auf der Maur, Ginger Reyes and Nicole Fiorentino.
I thought some high school students won't a competition and got to play with Billy. No, they were actually replacement members of the band and really good!
good version!
I'll give you Jimmy. Melissa Auf Da Mer said something similar, all Billy needs is himself and Jimmy. People do need to stop acting like Billy can't make a SP record without Iha and D'arcy, he made Siamese Dream just fine without them!
Although it was yesterday nothing feels the same!!!!!
Excelente cancion

You can't expect his vocal abilities to be the same from over 20 years. Appreciate the originals, while realizing the present.
fucking good music and band ......
That Bass has a great fkin sound. Angry. Love it
miss old band...
Leela. Miss you.
I'll settle this with the first comment. One of the most amazing fucking songs out there. There ya go.
verdade. qual sera a sensaçao desse garoto tocando um classico desses ?
ainda assim mandou muito bem!!!!!!
The hottest SP bass player.
I agree with you, Corgan is the Pumpkins...but even if they were a "live band" they were a damn good one at that. Jimmy Chamberlain is one of the better drummers, and James was a fantastic guitarist.

FUCKING AWESOME SONG, THEY'LL ALWAYS KICK ASS WITH OR WITHOUT JIMMY.
wacky bass sound!
You can see that Mike really admires Billy.
i love nicole
fucking good song!!!!!!!!
so beautiful.
drummer looks so young, haha
Looks very much like a hobbit in his early teens to me.
Billy corgan and fill in musicians
I believe you had to get a new ones to keep that that sobriety I always said sobriety shmoggardity
They all are good but they will never be The Smashing Pumpkins, just Corgan´s new and current combo, Jimmy Chamberlin will always be THE absolute Smashing Pumpkins drummer... PERIOD!
@riotdave Mike uses tom, floor tom and bass drum while jc used snare, tom, bass drum... Maybe you would be happy if Mike tapes a paper print of JC over his face when he preforms. :/

hey... best SP song by the way
bottom line, billy corgan proved that if you close your eyes, a band can really be one person. so long james, jimmy and d'arcy.
it's not that Jimmy Chamberlain cannot be replaced; its just that this isnt the drummer to do it. 2:19 - 2:28 ouch; if your gonna do down, go down in flames, all guns blazing. there is no room for in-decision.

fill in band, but they are tight. drummer on point. props to the kids.

B O O B S
Does Billy only hires hot bassists? lol, I'm not complaining though. Nothin wrong with a cutie playing a classic 90s anthem like this.
Nicole is beyond hot
Jon Yoffa D'Arcy is like, a thousand times hotter tho
Siddhant Bakshi not these days 😬
Best incarnation of the Pumpkins, IMO. Shame Billy didn't keep the band like this!
@richardsuarez23 Yes....compare a relatively novice drummer with Jimmy, who has been playing for more years than this drummer has lived. Fucking brilliant.
When acoustic is faster than the studio version
