It's not a cover band lol don't follow smashing pumpkins much huh? The bassist an guitarist are the band members who made the album Oceania an several other ep's that have been released ..I can spot a fair weather fan instantly with comments like that !!?
It is called an Ebow. It uses a magnetic field that reacts with the pickups on the guitar to create sustain. It can only be used on one string at a time.
one of the best bands ever. Defined my 20s. Now when I'm feeling blue and SP song comes on the radio I just feel billy shinning his black light supernova, to all those who comment about him getting old, get used to it we're all getting old, at least SP did it, if all you can observe is him aging then your not listening. Shine on Billy your the greatest! (if you want love you must be love)
Well put. Bill! As I get older, I can only laugh at people who make fun of older ppl. My great, great uncle just turned 105 last May and he can tell you about the day in 1929 when the stock market crashed! One of my patients just turned 107, he is the most humbling and wonderful person to be around. You can't get experience without getting aged.
Blacklight Supernova. I dig that. He had glow in the dark stars on his strat the first time I saw him For the encores He walked to the edge of the stage and stood on the monitor, played most of the song "drown" with one foot on it, anchoring him to solo better, at the same time they had a flood light (a spotlight? ) With a purple bulb - suppose blacklight? Coz the stars glowed and reflected out over the Colliseum. Such a powerful song and image and I've yet to ever see it again, in person or on bootleg vhs or what have you. I've seen eddie vedder (often) milking it similarly, using the back of his guitar as a mirror to reflect the spotlight back into the crowd when they do wishlist... But hey. We know Billy did it first.
Wow, the chemistry between the band members is just incredible. The camaraderie, the easy banter, the energy. This clearly isn't just Billy Corgan and Friends, no siree
looks like EbBbBbGBbD tuning on the right side,,it def. plays those fingerings that way just looking at it - and not too easy to play esp. muting the Bb's when/as needed
14:10 I've always wondered how he makes that guitar squeak in a few seconds around 14:14. Anyone know? This is a better look at it then a big stage but I still can't tell
Pretty sure hes got a ton of drive and gain going,.. when he mutes the strings for those split seconds it's just ear piercing feedback going from all the distortion and depending on the angle of the guitar and whatnot itll sound a little different each time. As long as hes playing it won't come through.
Not 100% as Looked at it quickly but as he sides up the neck...think he hits a harmonic on the 12th fret and then mutes quickly as he slides back up to the first fret...
That’s specifically was just feedback bleeding thru his signal or Jeff, but he normally hits a harmonic back in the day, now he doesn’t rly care. I wanna say harmonic on the the 2nd or third fret low e string from what I’ve seen.
I can't believe they did there it goes! I didn't discover that until the recent rerelease. I don't know why Mike Byrne switched up the drums so much though. I mean.. the original is simple but fits the song.
There are other songs I listen to more... but honestly... Mayonnaise is probably their best song ever... It's really tough to decide.. so many greats... but yeah... Mayonnaise edges out in the end. But can anyone name one great sing since Stand Inside Your Lkve? I'm still looking for it...
Mayonnaise was written by billy and James Iha as well as Soma two of the few songs James Iha wrote during his time with them because we all know who the driver of that band is and was !!!
How gutted would you be if you joined SP just before a tour. You: "Hi Billy, what's the set look like, wanted to get a headstart"..Billy:" Oh, great, here's what you need to learn before the first gig"...You: "Billy...........there's *800* fucking songs here?!!!!!! *fml* "
i have always been a fan. jumped on the bandwagon as soon as i could. but look at those guns on billy! and then is that plumber's... this might be his fat elvis phase
So this is what Billy and the Dopplegangers. Blonde bass babe, Asiatic.guitarist and well jimmys' stunt double isnt all that close but he keeps time adequately. We know his kit is level because drool is running out both sides of his mouth. Mouth drool is the best drum riser level check. Probably getting minimum wage
Long time listener but I can't help but be a lil upset that the OG crew couldn't keep it together. I understand Corgan was the main writer of the music but fuk. Corgan looked so much better on stage with James,Darcy and Jimmy. Times change and its freaking sucks.
The best Smashing Pumpkins cover band ever. They even got Billy Corgan to sing for them.
Transforming The Bear hilarious,they should name this band"The Smashing Dumplings" lmao 😂
Transforming The Bear thats probaly the coolest thing theyll ever do
@ I don't really miss D'arcy
It’s a shame they only write Smashing Pumpkins lite music now
It's not a cover band lol don't follow smashing pumpkins much huh? The bassist an guitarist are the band members who made the album Oceania an several other ep's that have been released ..I can spot a fair weather fan instantly with comments like that !!?
0:00 There It Goes
6:03 Plume
10:05 Mayonaise
What a discovery Mike Byrne is. The complete drummer, in the pocket, tasteful in his musicality, love listening to him.
Do you know his Bearcubbin' Project/ Band?
@@archibaldikowski3646 no thanx for the heads up I'll check them out.
It's so funny watching these vip shows. it's like so awkward like a school band taking stage.
@Jay Sharp but it's great. Just some real dudes no bs
"How's everybody doing?" Crowd: Good, Good! Billy: Terrible.
Props to Mike Byrne for 1) Being young and awesome and doing great work on Oceania; 2) Having about as minimal of a kit as one could have.
Belly Corgan
Mean but funny...jeje
Diet... treadmill.... and testosterone shots... would fix Billy right up and put him on top of things.
Troll
poor guy
Cutest bass player ever.......

Fantastic VIP perf, pwoppa rare songs that really SP fans would know and love. This is excellent.
Billy looks like the bad guy in despicable me
Mayonnaise was right on just like the recording. Great set up... amazing considering they are set up in a hotel lobby.
Wasn't expecting "There It Goes". Cheesy and classy. Mike was probably still in the womb then.
Not even.
this looks like one of the most awkward gigs ever
Love that drummer
there it goes
Wish I was in that room. This is gold.
That's the best VFW hall-style mix I've ever heard.
PLUME!!
Love how they have to do VIP gigs so they play an obscure B side rather than the big hits.
Nice Red Fang shirt!
When billy says . He can still sing like he used too. You gotta look at this as proof
which Billy?
Xyu from shows this year, shows he still can
Absolutely.
I want Jeff's dope Gibson SG!
Nicole needs to still play bass for them
This and soma were my favorite songs of SD. Great performance !
7:12 Billy's moon! 😃
mayonaise 20 years ago! the song still on of my favorites!!
Wow! The crowd is wild! Very rowdy!
Wow, the chemistry between the band members is just incredible. The camaraderie, the easy banter, the energy. This clearly isn't just Billy Corgan and Friends, no siree
Hahahah
I love this band
Wow his voice hasn't changed much... if at all.
Yeah. It’s a little less gritty on the intense notes but other than that
looks like EbBbBbGBbD tuning on the right side,,it def. plays those fingerings that way just looking at it - and not too easy to play esp. muting the Bb's when/as needed
I always forget the name of the first song they play here. But I've never really cared for it until this performance. Thanks for uploading.
Plume is a fucking tune, glad to see they finally resurrected it :D
Oh that Mayo Sustaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain
Billy looks like my gradpa. But he still being the best!
Love the Placebo profile pic
14:10 I've always wondered how he makes that guitar squeak in a few seconds around 14:14. Anyone know? This is a better look at it then a big stage but I still can't tell

an ebow, jame iha used them alot in old SP as well, example the solo to stand inside your love. they are rad
I can't believe they did there it goes! I didn't discover that until the recent rerelease. I don't know why Mike Byrne switched up the drums so much though. I mean.. the original is simple but fits the song.
These guys cover Smashing Pumpkins pretty good.
What an original and funny comment
Like watching Brandon
Cool. I've seen James Iha using that a couple times too, but I never knew what it was... Thanks!
James Iha wrote that song along with Soma probably the reason he uses it in concerts
Red Fang! Portland represented!
Fantastic performance -- and it should be noted that Miss Fiorentino is so damn cute.
Wasn't expecting "There It Goes". Cheesy and classy. Mike was probably still in the womb the .
@Jay Sharp probably in 1993
This is an early Pumpkins song from, like, 1989.
plume sounds sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm okay now. I WAS ill for a little while but I feel much better now. 4 years later.
Plume is my favourite. And I'm from Australia 😃
Any three songs?
Cherub Rock, Mayonnaise, Zero
Beautiful day for the rest of my life 🎉😂❤
There are other songs I listen to more... but honestly... Mayonnaise is probably their best song ever... It's really tough to decide.. so many greats... but yeah... Mayonnaise edges out in the end.
But can anyone name one great sing since Stand Inside Your Lkve? I'm still looking for it...
El Sol, whoops that was Zwan. I mean Loki Cat. Whoops, Jimmy Chamberlin Complex.
A Song For A Son from tear garden
Also United States from zeitgeist
Quasar?
Matthew Van Bueren
Or the entirety of Oceania really!
Mayonnaise was written by billy and James Iha as well as Soma two of the few songs James Iha wrote during his time with them because we all know who the driver of that band is and was !!!
wow nice baby drum set totally the same sound as jimmy
decent version of there she hows
How gutted would you be if you joined SP just before a tour. You: "Hi Billy, what's the set look like, wanted to get a headstart"..Billy:" Oh, great, here's what you need to learn before the first gig"...You: "Billy...........there's *800* fucking songs here?!!!!!! *fml* "
i have always been a fan. jumped on the bandwagon as soon as i could. but look at those guns on billy! and then is that plumber's... this might be his fat elvis phase
jelly belly man
private shows are meant to be quite
no moshing here
So this is what Billy and the Dopplegangers. Blonde bass babe, Asiatic.guitarist and well jimmys' stunt double isnt all that close but he keeps time adequately. We know his kit is level because drool is running out both sides of his mouth. Mouth drool is the best drum riser level check. Probably getting minimum wage
MAYONAISE! LLORO! :')
plume 6:08
i miss darcy
sushisghetto she busy smokingcrak
Sadshechangedherfacetosomeoneelse.itssad.shewasbeautiful
They need a girl in the band on bass. It was part of the feel and look of the band
Mayonnaise!!!
Still appreciate Mike’s drumming.
I remember them- Brandon now brad wanted to go on tour with them in the 80's
Where ever this was you were one very lucky audience. I love billy
Squeeze the Charmin all you want just dont hold the Mayo.
there it goes i think its an early demo from 1988
Rename band smashed pumpkins
Ohh the 1988 pumpkins songs
corgan is kinda of reminding me of brando in his later years. once a genius now just ridiculous
The studio works wonders, all these people are average players!
this crowd is DEAD.
has more energy then the band, holy hell.
There it goes, plume, mayonaise,
billy has tummy!!! :D
thanks!
The eternal moody teenager FS
I like music. HI Billy.
great !!
Guy offered to take his coat but he throws it on floor instead?
these vip videos always cut off the coda
Como se llama la segunda cancion
Welp - that’s a bored Billy and 3 session players I guess
Nice
Does anyone know the name of the first songs they play?
definitely. billy has gotta be one of the most awkward frontmen in rock and roll history.
Looks like someone just told billy his dog died.
o vocalista ta gordao, parece o pinguin do batman rsrs
Could anybody please tell me what that thingy, Billy uses on his first solo? It seems to vibrate the guitar strings to create the sound...
Rodrigo it’s called a sustainer Rodrigo from 6 years ago
Whats the name of the first song ?!
There It Goes 😉🤘🏻
Long time listener but I can't help but be a lil upset that the OG crew couldn't keep it together. I understand Corgan was the main writer of the music but fuk. Corgan looked so much better on stage with James,Darcy and Jimmy. Times change and its freaking sucks.
...and they're pricey and the damn battery always seems to be dead and they piss me off. But I wish I had mine back. havent used one in 15 years.
Played the guitar like a violin
She's cute.
billy is sad because his hair fell out long ago. but he still rocks.
Wow, enthusiasm is off the chart. Seems like Billy would rather be self-loathing in a closet. By the way, who's wedding g is this?
Can someone tell me what the 2nd song in the set is called?
Plume - it's on Picses Iscariot
Soul Core, it's called There it Goes. Is a song from the pre-gish era. You should try the original, it's fucking better!!
you must not be familiar with the smashing pumpkins. xD
playlist?
cmon the new guy couldn't play the harmonic parts on mayo?
Gibbs Gaming that’s billy in this case
yeah they could of both played them.
That’s not a harmonic, on the recording it’s the guitars pickups that were cheap and microphonic. It’s called the mayonnaise guitar, look it up
This isn't the Smashing Pumpkins it's billy's new band "The Smashing Dumplings"
sorry but this VIP series is very bizarre... very tense, they look uncomfortable, sad... i still don't get it...
