@@bobsondugnutt5688 ha ha, i've found my people! What a perfect ending wasn't it? Blown away by this performance too, I even learnt it on guitar today (with all its weird tuning) after watching the beef finale last night
@@floyd989 Corgan deserves a ton of credit for the end product though - he was obsessive about overdubs to make the guitar sound as thick as possible. Some of these songs have something like 70 tracks on them.
I have these marvelous memories because I lived this... Billy with hair is how I remembered him because he had it for most of the Pumpkin's reign. I was 17 when SD dropped. I remember those 4 videos getting like hourly play on MTV pretty much for a solid 1.5 years.
I feel you but we're growing up with it too, aren't we ? I was 16 when I heard it first over 2 years ago and it came at the perfect timing cause I was going through some shit and everyday was pretty much just surviving. That Song just put everything into words and music I couldn't. Now I'm almost 19 and have a lyric off it tattoed on my arm, so this Song will literally grow with me. The Pumpkins changed my Life and I'm so happy to even life in a time where they're around
@@Moe-bg6lm Funny you should mention this, because your experience is similar to mine when I was a teenager. I am actually a millennial and a fair bit older than you. I started listening to the Smashing Pumpkins when I was 15 or 16, around 2005 or 2006. I was just old enough to remember them in the late 90s a little bit. I'm glad Gen-Z can appreciate music like this, I have been pretty down on your generation, so this is a big plus to hear it from one of you directly. Now two subsequent generations are keeping the band alive. Very cool.
@@Walker_Flocker Hey man if this l cheers your day up I’m around the age of the first guys reply and I listen to tons of 90’s and early 2000’s music and go out of my way to show friends and family of similar age this type of music.

Thats because he's from the Chicagoland area. Nobody understands sadness like we do. If you were born and raised here, you'd know sadness well. The weather is miserable. Everything is flat.

It's 2022 now, nearly 29 years since Mayonaise was released. I still get the same goosebumps today--listening to this--as I did the first time I heard this track all those years ago
When I was in the Navy on the ship, I listened to this album almost exclusively. It brings back so many memories. Good and bad. Thank you for awesome music pumpkins!
I can't get over how nostalgic this song is. Everything from 92-00 takes me back to a much much simpler time in my life. A time where there were no bills, no jobs, nothing but listening to music every night and being home by the time the streetlights were on.

@@camarasnorte5317 90's were the best music of all time. The best times for most, the worst times for me! Music was my escape. Life is tough. You may also like the rolling stones in their live shows 1972. Just saying.

I used to have a problem with his voice but now I realize he has one of the most unique voices in rock. As soon as someone imitates it, you know right away its Billy Corgan. I can only think of like 5 singers you could say that about.
My main issue with him is I thought his live performances were terrible, but liked the recorded output because it fit the songs so well. That said, these performances are better than I remember.
This song takes me back to the fall of 95' when I met my wife at college. She is a HUGE pumpkins fan to this day. She was always listening to Gish, Siamese Dream, or Pices, when I went up to see her. But when I hear this song, I am instantly taken back to those care free days, the fall colors, the late night walks around the neighborhood in that crisp October air, oh the memories:-).
This song has brought me to tears on several occasions, and I can’t pinpoint wtf it is. Just finished watching “Beef” on Netflix and Damn! This perfect goddamn song wrapped up the series! Again, I’m in tears. Perfect ending!
For the record: Jimmy C is criminally underrated. He was definitely the musical glue holding these space cadets together. every single hit, every ghost note, the whole groove EXACT. precision. just like the record. great tune. charming performance.
Smashing Pumpkins are the band that best represents Generation X to me. I grew up listen to them, but I was a kid and wasn’t part of that cool generation that got to experience the end of an era in America. I love seeing the people from back then at shows. They’ll always be the coolest to me. No cell phones. They knew the words. Out there having the time of their lives that they’ll always remember being the best show. I hope they’re doing alright now.
we were barely technologically advanced enough that some of our friends carried "beepers" hahahaha I miss those days. Some of the most carefree days of my life
I remember road trips with my family just in the back seat listening to cassettes and cds while reading the liner notes and lyrics, fully immersed in the experience. It was incredible.
for being grunge, this is such a mellow set. I’ve only ever seen the nirvana “hit people in the face, dive into the drum kit” grunge, and never this somber almost distraught tone. everyone in the room just seems to be one puddle of people with similar emotions and interests. i love it
Welcome to a whole new version of music you will never be disappointed with yourself for listening to most of the shite that get forced upon us by the media 🙏😁
i heard this first time at my friend's house, it was on side B second track cassette. we would learn this on two accoustic guitars, we would go crazy playing just the intro alone cauze it's so beautiful. till this very day whenever i played Maynoise in my car i will always remember my friend and his house - the size of the room, the pictures on the wall, his mom n pop and the brightness of the day. This song is essentially transport you to a special time in your life.
@@davedave7313 we just used standard tuning, we play it with Bb. Not only we dont know about alternate tuning at the time, we also didnt knew the album was tune half step to Eb. we were like as long as it sounded "close enough". Lol
Siamese Dreams is such a great album. I will argue that it was one of if not the best album of the 90s. Listened to this album so many times in college and after. The drumming is so underrated on this album. Love, love, LOVE this album.
I agree. Of the trio Nirvana-Nevermind, Pearl Jam-10 and Siamese Dream, my top vote from the 90's is Siamese Dream. I can still listen to it and fully get immersed in it just like I did in the 90's.
Lets just take a moment though to appreciate how genuinely hard a question "best album of the 90s" is to answer. Maybe I'm old but best album of the 00's? I can name maybe 3, and beyond that, well ok I am actually old.
It's still one of the best 2022... but gish is the best for me and its demos the same....and dinosaur jr the same for that band anyway don't use for a name ect
One of the best songs ever written. Makes me float into the air. It feels like taking a step back from life, surveying everything all at once, and being ok with it
Fool enough to almost be it Cool enough to not quite see it Doomed Pick your pockets full of sorrow And run away with me tomorrow June We'll try and ease the pain But somehow we'll feel the same Well, no one knows Where our secrets go I send a heart to all my dearies When your life is so, so dreary Dream I'm rumored to the straight and narrow While the harlots of my perils Scream And I fail But when I can, I will Try to understand That when I can, I will Mother weep the years I'm missing All our time can't be given Back Shut my mouth and strike the demons That cursed you and your reasons Out of hand and out of season Out of love and out of feeling So bad When I can, I will Words defy the plan When I can, I will Fool enough to almost be it And cool enough to not quite see it And old enough to always feel this Always old, I'll always feel this No more promise no more sorrow No longer will I follow Can anybody hear me I just want to be me When I can, I will Try to understand That when I can, I will
I was 18 when this album came out. Living in San Antonio, TX. I used to drive my 1987 Toyota Corolla north into the hills to go get stoned and crank this cassette.
I understand the criticism of Billy's voice, but I think people who write it off are missing a pretty unique rock vocal style. He has a hard time getting to the higher registers at the end of the song, but doesn't care and goes for it. That's fine by me. How many times does a rock singer go for a stretch of a note and miss? It happens all the time. He also hit the switch on the Strat and cut the neck pickup, dropping out of the mix, forgot the lyrics and so forth. It just makes the performance more approachable, even though the band produces the album's sound very well.
He forgot the lyrics but he waited his next q and killed it afterwards, he lost the sound of his guitar but he played anyways, till it naturally came back. And then proceed, as a band, in one of the greatest performances of the 90"s. Perfection is a lucid dream, dealing and overcoming imperfection is divine.
now this was the greatest era of music in my honest opinion. Love this song and this performance and the album siamese dream up there with my favorites from the 9th grunge era which inspired me to play guitar.
I was in love to a girl named "jenny" at the time of this song. Sophomore in high school. My story with jenny ended but this song always reminds me of that bittersweet memory. To be young and in love
How did it end? Did you go to her flat and hear her being banged from the outside then realse your friends car was parked on the road? Cause that happened to my brother in the 90’s.
I remember the 90s and was alive for it, but I was pretty young. I mostly remember nirvana and Alice In Chains from those days but naturally I got into most of the grunge/alternative bands. The pumpkins are one of my favorites and have been for awhile, especially Mellon follow. The first album that truly truly resonated with me was “is this it” from the strokes. I get those same kinda feelings from that album. It takes me back to the days of my first love and having absolutely no worries, and all fun. It gives me feelings of being young and learning new things. I Miss those times. The world was a much better and different place back then. My family and friends were always around and there was always something to do. We would communicate face to face instead of over text. I wish I could go back
The Smashing Pumpkins is the band I keep forgetting exists, but when I remember I go down a rabbit hole of their music. Reading everyone's comments I remember how special they are.
It’s funny I’ve always loved the Smashing Pumpkins. But lately I’ve been going through a little bit of sadness and depression and I’ve been playing the hell out of this song and come to find out so many other people have been doing the exact same thing. There’s just some thing about this album there’s just something about the way it flows it just comforts you for some thing you can really feel in your soul and you’re depressed state
I'm with you (even if you wrote this 4 yrs ago and my comment is just dust). I remember being a very depressed 15 year old boy, so unsure of his place in the world, hiding under a tree in the grounds of my school and listening to this track on my discman (yep, discman, look it up). It validated my feelings, helped me release some anger and helped me keep it together enough to keep going. I have a big space in my heart for this song even though my musical tastes have diverged a lot in the last 30 years.
Happy 52nd Birthday D'arcy Wretzky-Brown 5/1/1968 The lost but not forgotten Smashing Pumpkin.. She doesn't get enough credit for her solid bass playing..
For anyone else who had that DVD alongside their late compilation album shiny cardboard with post-its inside rather than a booklet, you also saw that DVD and remember the mood, the feel and the chick in the front row.
I’m 7 years old and they just played this show while I’m laying in bed somewhere in MA. In a couple years I’ll hear about them through my fathers amazing taste in music, and see them live with him on the melancholy tour at fleet center in Boston. It’ll change my life. Thanks dad!
Yes. And YES. It IS VERY amazing to be forgotten. 2017 - and "they" say I'm 61, when in all reality I AM 21 - "LIFE" is quite weird. Only speaking as a highly expereinced expert here. And the concept that there are "people" who do not FEEL really makes some of us REALLY wanna be somewhere else.....
the song that made me a die hard pumpkins fan for life.i rewound and listened to this song so many times my cassette stopped working.then i got a cd player for christmas.listened to it so many times on repeat my cd still has a strange sound on this song only.man, how simple life was as a young boy.yet so full of distress and for me loss.i would turn this song on and melt away.i have bought every album of theirs since on release day.i own all box sets, rare tracks,b-sides.only seen them live twice. both without darcy though.which sucks.but drugs really fucked her up.i still remember the machina tour concert at the paramount theatre in Seattle in 2000.i can remember it like it was yesterday,one of the best sounding live shows i have seen to date.has alot to do with the venue.the smashing pumpkins will always hold a very special place in my heart.and even though we cant get back what we lost all those years ago.the camaraderie of those 4 souls and how they touched our hearts.i hope to pass the torch of loving great 90's rock to my daughter.god bless you Billy,Jimmy,James and D-arcy
I know Billy is a notoriously difficult person to get along with and work with, but he also looks like the only person on that stage who didn’t shoot up five seconds before the show
People give him a lot of shit, but I don't get it. When he talks, he's so down to Earth. I could listen to his stories for hours. Also, look at how he interacts with the audience. Hardly a dick compared to most rockers.
Hmm, I love Billy's music.....but to consider him a god? There's thousands of guitarists out there who fit the term more than he does. Definitely an awesome song writer, but in terms of talent I think Jimmy is more skilled in his instrument. Geek U.S.A. is a prime example. Dude is such a blast to listen to.
+Josh T billy is an underrated player. Technically speaking there isn't much he can't play. He was even selected to study a prestigious music programme when he was young because of his ability to distinguish piano notes
If they make a time machine one day, I would go straight to 1991 and stay till 1999. Visit all those concerts: Nirvana, Pearl jam, SP, Soundgarden, Bush, the witness the rise of the New Metal and Hardcore, and go to Love Parade in Berlin.
The Metro might be the most underrated venue in America. If you've never been, it's intimate, not too small, not too big & the sound/acoustics are impeccable. Uniquely Chicago.
I lost a great friend of mine today. This song was something that always has this underlying feeling of sadness and nostalgia to it. This ones for you Tim

@@issamohammad6161 It’s definitely alternative, but it also takes heavy influence from grunge. Even Billy Corgan himself has said it before.
My parents named me after this song
Your name is Mayonaise?!
No i wish :(
Bosco
hahaha
Then what the heck is your name, billy?
June?
i heard this first time at my friend's house, it was on side B second track cassette. we would learn this on two accoustic guitars, we would go crazy playing just the intro alone cauze it's so beautiful. till this very day whenever i played Maynoise in my car i will always remember my friend and his house - the size of the room, the pictures on the wall, his mom n pop and the brightness of the day. This song is essentially transport you to a special time in your life.
are you guys still friends?
How did you learn it on guitar? Isnt the guitar tuned inike some f tuning or something
@@umno9862 yeah man, just living different city now.
@@davedave7313 we just used standard tuning, we play it with Bb. Not only we dont know about alternate tuning at the time, we also didnt knew the album was tune half step to Eb. we were like as long as it sounded "close enough". Lol
@@noisetape8405 that's pretty cool haha, I just thought I read that it was in some whacked out tuning somewhere, but it's cool you guys got it
No phones,
No cameras,
No flashlights,
Only pure souls vibing to this soulful music concert
I miss those days of purity.
no selfies, no posts, no 'likes' , no 'tagging', no 'check-ins' -miss those days
@@TheKellbrad No auto tune, pure live. Just real musical instruments. Guitar, bass, drums.
Ahhhhh the 90’s rock sound. Never be a better HARD rock decade ever in history ever again. Thank god I lived it.
One more listen before bed!
Make it three!
EC0205 Fine four, I swear....
make it FIVEE
six right here.
Let's just make it an even 8, boys.
My favorite song on Earth.
whats your favorite on mars

@@mikes202 jjgcbxkffl
Old comment, but same here lol
@@mikes202 life on Mars by Bowie obviously
This song will still be classic and lovely in a 100 years
Ah man 😊, how gigs used to look. Connection, appreciation, vibes, no smartphone is sight. 😊😊😊
Will never remove Mayo from my burgers anymore.
this comment deserves more likes based on lol factor
I didn't know people mayo their burg3rs....
+ᗺЯФTHER NEЯ⚾ dip your fries in mayo. it's great
you need to remove the burger and just have the mayo..
lol
Siamese Dreams is such a great album. I will argue that it was one of if not the best album of the 90s. Listened to this album so many times in college and after. The drumming is so underrated on this album. Love, love, LOVE this album.
I agree. Of the trio Nirvana-Nevermind, Pearl Jam-10 and Siamese Dream, my top vote from the 90's is Siamese Dream. I can still listen to it and fully get immersed in it just like I did in the 90's.
Lets just take a moment though to appreciate how genuinely hard a question "best album of the 90s" is to answer. Maybe I'm old but best album of the 00's? I can name maybe 3, and beyond that, well ok I am actually old.
It's one of the very few records out there that I feel safe calling a Perfect Recrod.
It's the jazz I promise. Love. Entirely understated and misunderstood
It's still one of the best 2022... but gish is the best for me and its demos the same....and dinosaur jr the same for that band anyway don't use for a name ect
One of the best songs ever written. Makes me float into the air. It feels like taking a step back from life, surveying everything all at once, and being ok with it
All these people at this concert will forever be lucky to have this moment! Enjoy you lucky bastard! 😭🤌
Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it
Doomed
Pick your pockets full of sorrow
And run away with me tomorrow
June
We'll try and ease the pain
But somehow we'll feel the same
Well, no one knows
Where our secrets go
I send a heart to all my dearies
When your life is so, so dreary
Dream
I'm rumored to the straight and narrow
While the harlots of my perils
Scream
And I fail
But when I can, I will
Try to understand
That when I can, I will
Mother weep the years I'm missing
All our time can't be given
Back
Shut my mouth and strike the demons
That cursed you and your reasons
Out of hand and out of season
Out of love and out of feeling
So bad
When I can, I will
Words defy the plan
When I can, I will
Fool enough to almost be it
And cool enough to not quite see it
And old enough to always feel this
Always old, I'll always feel this
No more promise no more sorrow
No longer will I follow
Can anybody hear me
I just want to be me
When I can, I will
Try to understand
That when I can, I will
Wow dude, really took the words right out of his mouth didnt you
@CubertSacc68 DilbertSlapp69 LOL
This song is awesome 💕
Kinda deep AF...
Brilliant Lyrist
Jimmy Chamberlin really kept the sound together. Great drummer
26 years old and I just recently discovered The Smashing Pumpkins and I am completely blown away and amazed by this band. Fuck lol.
imperfect is perfect and live music is what you make it. It shouldn't sound like the record just needs alot of energy and heart
I was 18 when this album came out. Living in San Antonio, TX. I used to drive my 1987 Toyota Corolla north into the hills to go get stoned and crank this cassette.
You lucky lucky man 🤘🏻🖤
Ha yeah me and my best mate used to go driving with this cassette full blast, the suburban outskirts of London heard this loud and clear
I understand the criticism of Billy's voice, but I think people who write it off are missing a pretty unique rock vocal style. He has a hard time getting to the higher registers at the end of the song, but doesn't care and goes for it. That's fine by me. How many times does a rock singer go for a stretch of a note and miss? It happens all the time. He also hit the switch on the Strat and cut the neck pickup, dropping out of the mix, forgot the lyrics and so forth. It just makes the performance more approachable, even though the band produces the album's sound very well.
LuxeXx on what part does he fall out, time frame please
He drops out about 05:18, back in 05:26.
Everyone fucks up ..it's life
Agree ,It's still awesome live anyway
@@kittehhatetube for some reason your tag takes it to 5:10 very strange
I never knew that James Iha Actually invented the HOodie
This sounds almost just like on the album. I'm impressed.
D'arcy.... Stunningly beautiful.
Key word was
She was before the crack
therandom3591 sad
They sound excellent live
Yeah this is an especially good recording.
I bought the box set dvd and studio recordings it's pretty sick on a 70 inch tv
perfect.
amazing
G. E. Teijeiro have you lost your mind?
Siamese Dream is one of my favourite albums of all time. It’s just beautiful 🌹
I'll never understand how calmly Billy can just play without out going full mad dog.
The best, most human, raw, mayonaise ever. A+++.
Raw mayonaise sounds dangerous.
I'm still wondering if the two kids got together who he sent out for to. June and Doom. Ahh. Love.
this band is timeless
Fan of your soundtracks Danny.
He forgot the lyrics but he waited his next q and killed it afterwards, he lost the sound of his guitar but he played anyways, till it naturally came back. And then proceed, as a band, in one of the greatest performances of the 90"s. Perfection is a lucid dream, dealing and overcoming imperfection is divine.
Pumpkins is a band I Forgot how much I loved them. And how influential they were. It’s been great to revisit.
This song still resonates with me 20 years after I first heard it at 13. Timeless classic imo.
Amen!
now this was the greatest era of music in my honest opinion. Love this song and this performance and the album siamese dream up there with my favorites from the 9th grunge era which inspired me to play guitar.
i loved the Afghan Whigs + Smashing Pumpkins so much at the time. still awesome
Same here
wish I had known this song when i was 13. Things would have been so much different
This song is one of those that make you feel like floating in he air or sinking in your chair. Brilliant song. Wish I wrote it 😭
I was 20 yo when I went to see them at this concert , I'm 50 now and I still remember it like if it was yersterday !
this song always makes me cry
swimpz makes me grounded really
me too
I was in love to a girl named "jenny" at the time of this song. Sophomore in high school. My story with jenny ended but this song always reminds me of that bittersweet memory. To be young and in love
How did it end? Did you go to her flat and hear her being banged from the outside then realse your friends car was parked on the road? Cause that happened to my brother in the 90’s.
@@rjh6037 HAHAHAHA IM SORRY OMG BUT WHAT
Kebetulan yang menyakitkan.
mayjenaise
I remember the 90s and was alive for it, but I was pretty young. I mostly remember nirvana and Alice In Chains from those days but naturally I got into most of the grunge/alternative bands. The pumpkins are one of my favorites and have been for awhile, especially Mellon follow. The first album that truly truly resonated with me was “is this it” from the strokes. I get those same kinda feelings from that album. It takes me back to the days of my first love and having absolutely no worries, and all fun. It gives me feelings of being young and learning new things. I Miss those times. The world was a much better and different place back then. My family and friends were always around and there was always something to do. We would communicate face to face instead of over text. I wish I could go back
The Smashing Pumpkins is the band I keep forgetting exists, but when I remember I go down a rabbit hole of their music. Reading everyone's comments I remember how special they are.
Wow this is when they were great IDK what happened but no one can ever take this moment away
Girl in the white shirt is in her zone.
That's D'arcy Wretzky, and you'd do best to remember her exactly how she is here.
LOL!
biorpg he meant the girl in the audience singing along. D’arcy is wearing a black shirt
In her zone means strung out on heroin
I wonder what she's doing now, or is like "I'm that chic in the crowd!" At party's n stuff in some social circle somewhere
Take me back to the 90's
I tried. Even ate a Super Nintendo. Nothing worked...
One of the finest pieces of music ever to be written.....just beautiful x
Always believed this was their standout song- And it sounds brilliant live.
Probably the most perfect song ever written by the pumpkins, can listen to this a million times and it never gets boring!
Heaven to Hell in two seconds at 5:55
Matthew Reiser more likely to hospital lol
The 90’s was freaking awesome. Life was lived in the moment. Sorry kids, you missed it. Throw your phone away and go experience life!
True but now reality is fckd
Not a single iPhone in the crowd recording. Just people enjoying good music and living in the moment.
When I was going through a serious battle with depression ,this song actually helped me to get to the other side . Great song ,phenomenal album.
It’s funny I’ve always loved the Smashing Pumpkins. But lately I’ve been going through a little bit of sadness and depression and I’ve been playing the hell out of this song and come to find out so many other people have been doing the exact same thing. There’s just some thing about this album there’s just something about the way it flows it just comforts you for some thing you can really feel in your soul and you’re depressed state
I'm with you (even if you wrote this 4 yrs ago and my comment is just dust). I remember being a very depressed 15 year old boy, so unsure of his place in the world, hiding under a tree in the grounds of my school and listening to this track on my discman (yep, discman, look it up). It validated my feelings, helped me release some anger and helped me keep it together enough to keep going. I have a big space in my heart for this song even though my musical tastes have diverged a lot in the last 30 years.
Happy 52nd Birthday D'arcy Wretzky-Brown 5/1/1968 The lost but not forgotten Smashing Pumpkin.. She doesn't get enough credit for her solid bass playing..
For anyone else who had that DVD alongside their late compilation album shiny cardboard with post-its inside rather than a booklet, you also saw that DVD and remember the mood, the feel and the chick in the front row.
The united cathartic joy of gigs before camera phones.
God damn this and Soma are both my favorite songs from them. And god billy is cute in this.
Both songs were some of the few songs that Iha co-wrote recorded by SP.
I’m 7 years old and they just played this show while I’m laying in bed somewhere in MA. In a couple years I’ll hear about them through my fathers amazing taste in music, and see them live with him on the melancholy tour at fleet center in Boston.
It’ll change my life.
Thanks dad!
I was at that concert, I lived just up the street at the time. I have the same feeling you do.
The song written with no meaning. That absolutely meant so much to so many.
I'm 63 yrs old..from Bflo NY..love this band!!!
so I've been pronouncing 'Siamese' wrong all these years
This is like the only time I ever heard Billy pronounce it this way
No
No they have
actually billy pronounced it wrong here
@@ffsFonix its pronounced siamis
*My goodness. I was 14 the first time I saw Smashing Pumpkins in concert.*
Thank goodness for the Lollapalooza festivals of the 90s.
Sawvthem 5 times in concert kick ass still are.
I'm somehow happy person who has made it.
I owe my life to this song
i almost cried ..... thank you Billy!
I feel you so touching, miss the old pumpkins.
Same here
Karla Pippo i did cry i am in my late 50's but i still get moved by greatness.
T mo it means you still FEEL, aaaahhhh, this is amazing to ever be forgotten
Yes. And YES. It IS VERY amazing to be forgotten. 2017 - and "they" say I'm 61, when in all reality I AM 21 - "LIFE" is quite weird. Only speaking as a highly expereinced expert here. And the concept that there are "people" who do not FEEL really makes some of us REALLY wanna be somewhere else.....
Who else got goosebumps this performance was epic
I want to go back to the 90s and stay for a little while longer.
i feel like music can never be like this again.. i feel so sad in my heart
This song truly touches my heart. I'll never leave this song...
Mist Sage ❤️ I get it
the song that made me a die hard pumpkins fan for life.i rewound and listened to this song so many times my cassette stopped working.then i got a cd player for christmas.listened to it so many times on repeat my cd still has a strange sound on this song only.man, how simple life was as a young boy.yet so full of distress and for me loss.i would turn this song on and melt away.i have bought every album of theirs since on release day.i own all box sets, rare tracks,b-sides.only seen them live twice. both without darcy though.which sucks.but drugs really fucked her up.i still remember the machina tour concert at the paramount theatre in Seattle in 2000.i can remember it like it was yesterday,one of the best sounding live shows i have seen to date.has alot to do with the venue.the smashing pumpkins will always hold a very special place in my heart.and even though we cant get back what we lost all those years ago.the camaraderie of those 4 souls and how they touched our hearts.i hope to pass the torch of loving great 90's rock to my daughter.god bless you Billy,Jimmy,James and D-arcy

Get touched, son!
2022 sucks...glad we can all rewind to songs like this. Music is like a time machine. Wanna travel back to the 90's?... smashing pumpkins it is.
I know Billy is a notoriously difficult person to get along with and work with, but he also looks like the only person on that stage who didn’t shoot up five seconds before the show
People give him a lot of shit, but I don't get it. When he talks, he's so down to Earth. I could listen to his stories for hours. Also, look at how he interacts with the audience. Hardly a dick compared to most rockers.
Mayonaise is the all time favorite pumpkins among of all their fans
I don't care what you say, I still consider Billy and Jimmy to be guitar/drum gods
yep!
Hmm, I love Billy's music.....but to consider him a god? There's thousands of guitarists out there who fit the term more than he does. Definitely an awesome song writer, but in terms of talent I think Jimmy is more skilled in his instrument. Geek U.S.A. is a prime example. Dude is such a blast to listen to.
+Josh T billy is an underrated player. Technically speaking there isn't much he can't play. He was even selected to study a prestigious music programme when he was young because of his ability to distinguish piano notes
Franco Adam yeah, he's better than John frusciante
Joe Vaughan false. False as fuck, Frusciante is unmatched when it comes to him bs billy. I mean billy is good.. but he's definitely not Frusciante
If they make a time machine one day, I would go straight to 1991 and stay till 1999. Visit all those concerts: Nirvana, Pearl jam, SP, Soundgarden, Bush, the witness the rise of the New Metal and Hardcore, and go to Love Parade in Berlin.
The Metro might be the most underrated venue in America. If you've never been, it's intimate, not too small, not too big & the sound/acoustics are impeccable. Uniquely Chicago.
I lost a great friend of mine today. This song was something that always has this underlying feeling of sadness and nostalgia to it. This ones for you Tim
