"That movie really sucked, but there's sincere darkness coming from that pumpkins song" - Heath Ledger (after watching *Batman & Robin* for the first time)
Matt Chisholm Heath Ledger sucked fricken teen movie pretty boy trying to play the role of Joker was a Joke...and to this day I have yet to watch that movie let alone any of the dark night series and that is one of the reasons . Terrible casting. There was and is only two that played that role well the original just because he was the first and Jack Nicholson because he’s naturally crazy
They still might be.... noone else can put so many styles into one album, with songs feeling like hard rock, soft rock, pop, industrial, acousti, orchestral, folk, metal and punk- and still sounds like the same entity, fluid.
From January 96, the start of the MCIS Tour, until the Halloween show in '98, they killed every stage they took. Even the Adore tour they were so dynamic that many fans didn't get it. And let's not even talk about when Jimmy came back. SP is another level band.
SP didn't promote their stuff in a conventional way. They had enough quality material from 1988-2000 to fill 8 to 10 albums but they only released about 5.
@@BigMichael78 What the hell do you mean? They absolutely promoted their music the way any other band did at the time. They were on a major label, made music videos, did TV appearances, toured, played festivals, played award shows... Nothing unconventional at all.
Hearing that opening out there in front raw you can really appreciate what a great riff it is. No one comes close to Billy when it comes to matching great riffs with stellar choruses.
Matt Walker was the only drummer I could tolerate in Jimmy's place. He was really amazing during their MC&TIS Tour. No one can ever really be Jimmy though. That man is drum god.
I liked this song since Batman's movie was released. It's so great and full of energy, everyone can see it. I don't know why they don't play it often in their concerts
WHY? She was a talentless, replaceable nobody. The 90s memories were fun but why would you campaign to bring a nobody garbage musician into an actual functional rock band?
@@michaeledwards6683 Atleast according to wikipedia he wrote it about batman, to be exact the darker version of batman at the early comics. I guess it kinda fits....at some level
"The End Is The Beginning Is The End" The sewers belch me up The heavens spit me out From ethers tragic I am born again And now I'm with you now Inside your world of wow To move in desires made of deadly pretends Till the end times begin Is it bright where you are Have the people changed Does it make you happy you're so strange And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame You can watch the world devoured in it's pain Strange Climb my ribcage to The replays run for you Unhook my lights to peek behind the flash For I am crystal chrome I am shatter dome I am kremlin king of angels avenged To destroy the end Is it bright where you are Have the people changed Does it make you happy you're so strange And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame You can watch the world devoured in it's pain The zeppelins rain upon us The guns of love disastrous A shadow lies amongst you To defy the future cast Is it bright where you are Have the people changed Does it make you happy you're so strange And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame You can watch the world devoured in it's pain Strange Strange
I might just be crazy, but with the speed they're playing at, I could definitely pick up some Thrash Metal inspirations. This song and performance of it KICKED ASS!
This is a great song. And it sounds really good live. I am not the biggest fan of Smashing Pumpkins. But they got on my radar in the 90s and impressed me enough to buy an album or two. And that's not the easiest thing with me. I am picky with my music.
the best way to watch this video is to open it in two different tabs, mute the sound on the one you're actually watching, and start and stop the video until the audio lines up with the video...
Send a heartbeat to The void that cries through you Relive the pictures that have come to pass For now we stand alone The world is lost and blown And we are flesh and blood disintegrate With no more to hate Is it bright where you are Have the people changed Does it make you happy you're so strange And in your darkest hour I hold secrets flame We can watch the world devoured in it's pain Delivered from the blast The last of a line of lasts The pale princess of a palace cracked And now the kingdom comes Crashing down undone And I am a master of a nothing place Of recoil and grace Is it bright where you are Have the people changed Does it make you happy you're so strange And in your darkest hour I hold secrets flame We can watch the world devoured in it's pain Time has stopped before us The sky cannot ignore us No one can separate us For we are all that is left The echo bounces off me The shadow lost beside me There's no more need to pretend Cause now I can begin again Is it bright where you are Have the people changed Does it make you happy you're so strange And in your darkest hour I hold secrets flame We can watch the world devoured in it's pain Strange Strange Strange
I like this song better than the Beginning is the End is the Beginning. But for some reason that other song is the one used more often. Live version of this rocks!
@@themagnanimous1246 It actually does! "The zeppelins rain upon us" at 3:46 and at 3:37 the guitar melody matches Plant´s ah-ahh-ah, ah-ah-ahh-ah melody at the beginnig of "Immigrant Song".
What an interesting version of this song! The studio version was far from my fav Pumpkins song, but I like this version more. Only wish the mix was such that we could hear the vocals by James and D'arcy better (around 2:40).
Inwish there was a live version that’s closer to the album. I’d love to hear D’Arcy’s bass driving the song instead of Corgan and Iha drowning her down as usual.
The original song was this fast, that's just another recorded version you're talking about I believe. (If you are talking about the one with 3 million views on RUclips)

One of their best songs. So underrated.
It won a Grammy
@@itsastro7631True but hardly anyone ever mentions it as one of their top songs
This was one of those songs that had heavy studio production, and I admittedly didn't think it would sound as good live. I was dead wrong.
this is the first time i've heard a live version, and i think its better than the original
Even better live!
Completely agree. This was my first time hearing it live. I can’t imagine actually being there for it
The arrangement works, the old live SP habit of speeding up every song doesn't.
@@VuotoPneumaNN thats bc of the dose
That shot of him calmly shredding while the crowd erupts ❤️

That's interesting he said that
@@nm7891 he didn't

Matthaios Kober imagine passing harsh judgement on something you’re yet to experience
Another prime example why pumpkins are one of the best bands around, every member killing it
Sadly no Jimmy on drums, but Matt Walker was a pretty worthy fill-in.
This night they were the worlds best band

And everyday before and after
It's ok, this set list is so great, and they were at the top of their talent...
Have you heard the backing vocals. Fucking shocking
It’s criminal how underrated a lot of Pumpkins’ material is 🤟🏻
I know. Seriously
I think that's mostly due to Corgam being an unlikable asshole as well as having developed some pretty bigoted paranoid views.

@@VuotoPneumaNN They never released the pre-Gish material and overall have a ton of stuff that is only available as outtakes or other obscurities.
The drums man…that kick pattern man…and D’arcy on point. It’s 2022. Still listening to this
Its music... you like it or not. Music doesnt fade and die or disappear over time. Of course you are listening to this in 2022... because you like it.
D'Arcy is killing it on bass here!
#datass
I love her ❤
I wish she could still be in the band.
@@NESADDICT we all do.
She always does. She was so underrated.
Best live version, better than the recording, raw, powerful, ghoulish, doesn’t sound like anyone else.
Totally agree!
Yeah I like this better than the recorded version. Love how it’s sped up. Makes it more powerful
Just wish it was performed slower, too fast here :(. Speed killed atmosphere a bit.
The late Mellon collie and Matt walker era is under appreciated. Also Darcy kills in this song. Best bass tone for the pumpkins by far
Even Billy said she had the best bass tone iirc.
Saw 2 Mellon Collie shows in 96 before Jimmy was fired. Then 3 with Matt in 97. They were literally the better shows with Matt
@@travistravinyle4207 very cool to hear
D'Arcy's bass tone live was always killer
Hearing that opening out there in front raw you can really appreciate what a great riff it is. No one comes close to Billy when it comes to matching great riffs with stellar choruses.
This mix sounds great you can actually hear the bass
Matt Walker was the only drummer I could tolerate in Jimmy's place. He was really amazing during their MC&TIS Tour. No one can ever really be Jimmy though. That man is drum god.
No one can play like jimmy!
who recorded this song, jimmy, matt, or worse..ive read somewhere that its a drum machine (i hope not, and it doesnt sound like it)
From what I've been able to gather both Matt Walker and a drum Machine were used in the recording.
I dont think matt walker was on any part of the mellon collie tour
Kenny Aronoff > Matt Walker
:o this is amazing!!! first time i see a live version of this song,,great!!!
In 2022, this track will be 25 yrs in KING MODE. Billy is the best, you go, king. SMP is forever, beast mode is king!!
I liked this song since Batman's movie was released. It's so great and full of energy, everyone can see it. I don't know why they don't play it often in their concerts
This is an awesome recording, no synth, superfast! It's like an alternate version to hear I love it.
jimmy is better ...but this dude is beating the living shit outta the drums .....love it...
How obscure... Delightful... 🖤 my favorite band since I was child
Didn’t know a live version was available … it sounds fantastic… Billy please bring D’arcy back
WHY? She was a talentless, replaceable nobody. The 90s memories were fun but why would you campaign to bring a nobody garbage musician into an actual functional rock band?
D'Arcy won't come back.
She probably wouldn't be the same D'Arcy she didn't play professionally after SP
they did an awesome job adapting this to live considering how much electronic computer music was involved in the recording
Wow never heard that live before . That was amazing!
I don't know if I've said it here before so I'll say it again: this recording fucks the studio version TO DEATH. Genuinely incredible.
the lyrics to this song are probably the most tripped out occultic truth even put to the radio, yet he says he wrote it about batman ...sure!
The Flayed Man can you explain the occultic themes?
He wrote it for the Batman soundtrack. That doesn't have to be what it's about.
@@michaeledwards6683 Agreed.
@@michaeledwards6683 Atleast according to wikipedia he wrote it about batman, to be exact the darker version of batman at the early comics. I guess it kinda fits....at some level
@@nesfan8 probably a mix of Batman stuff and personal stuff
It's awesome when D'Arcy's bass kicks in at 47 seconds....powerful moment.
It's beyond amazing how they took this song, slowed it down and made it completely different and yet equally as good.
"The End Is The Beginning Is The End"
The sewers belch me up
The heavens spit me out
From ethers tragic I am born again
And now I'm with you now
Inside your world of wow
To move in desires made of deadly pretends
Till the end times begin
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
You can watch the world devoured in it's pain
Strange
Climb my ribcage to
The replays run for you
Unhook my lights to peek behind the flash
For I am crystal chrome
I am shatter dome
I am kremlin king of angels avenged
To destroy the end
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
You can watch the world devoured in it's pain
The zeppelins rain upon us
The guns of love disastrous
A shadow lies amongst you
To defy the future cast
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
You can watch the world devoured in it's pain
Strange
Strange
D'Arcy was so pretty in those years...
Sickest intro live i have ever seen. Best version of this song.
Awesome! Didn't know they played this live! 😳
The did a good job stripping out the electronica elements for live
Cant think of any other band that could sound like this
i was born to love the Smashing Pumpkins!
I might just be crazy, but with the speed they're playing at, I could definitely pick up some Thrash Metal inspirations. This song and performance of it KICKED ASS!
Nikes Gray SP played metal at times.
First time I see and hear this song performed live. Goosebumps! BC wrote some great songs, and he still does!
the pumpkins are vampires, everyone knows that...
Rui Martins actually the world is a vampire....
They only come out at night
UNO DE LOS MEJORES TEMAS DE LA HISTORIA DE BATMAN.
this track wheeled back out with the new 5 piece and of course Jimmy's correct way of playing 😊
Fabulous Song and remembered long after the movie, killer chorus, sooo dark.
The most underrated song! Love it
Almost forgot to watch this today.
And my face just melted off my fcking head! I loved them then and I love them now! Smashing pumpkins NEVER DIE!
This is the best thing..
Ahhhh!!!! How did I miss this??? Didnt know SP played this ever in Concert! And all 4!! 😭😫🌟
What a bomb this version!
This set lit was legendary.
Jesus Christ, I though my heart would rip my cage through, this is pure adrenaline
Goddamn he can sing like this live!?! Much fuckin respect! Billy’s voice is something else!
the smashing pumpkins were the best man off all time...bar none. thanks for the 100 tracks. jb

Send a heartbeat to
The void that cries through you
Relive the pictures that have come to pass
For now we stand alone
The world is lost and blown
And we are flesh and blood disintegrate
With no more to hate
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour
I hold secrets flame
We can watch the world devoured in it's pain
Delivered from the blast
The last of a line of lasts
The pale princess of a palace cracked
And now the kingdom comes
Crashing down undone
And I am a master of a nothing place
Of recoil and grace
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour
I hold secrets flame
We can watch the world devoured in it's pain
Time has stopped before us
The sky cannot ignore us
No one can separate us
For we are all that is left
The echo bounces off me
The shadow lost beside me
There's no more need to pretend
Cause now I can begin again
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour
I hold secrets flame
We can watch the world devoured in it's pain
Strange
Strange
Strange
Wrong song 😂
This is an improvement on the studio version which was already really good.
My favorite Pumpkins song! Batman and Robin!
Syncing aside, thanks for the upload
I like this song better than the Beginning is the End is the Beginning. But for some reason that other song is the one used more often. Live version of this rocks!
Omg thank you so much!
The only decent thing about that film was this song
SIMON THOMSON don’t forget the batnips, batnips are tight!
Alicia silverstone
The whole album was great
You are goddam right
I still remember waiting for the end of the Batman movie to HEAR IT !!! Sweet 1997 🙂
I love when they turn the stage lights on..Billy is like "oh hi, didn't see you there"
I was there !! Unbeleivable ❤
Colonel Kurtz, still the warrior poet
Voldemort is an awesome singer
Chills throughout the whole damn song!
i like it better live than on the album. i think they should’ve kept it like this
This song has "Immigrant Song" influences in it, you can tell by the solo, drums rhythm, even the lyrics itself mention zeppelins.
@@johannludwigwolfgang2889 the lyrics don't mention zeppelins anywhere
@@themagnanimous1246 It actually does! "The zeppelins rain upon us" at 3:46 and at 3:37 the guitar melody matches Plant´s ah-ahh-ah, ah-ah-ahh-ah melody at the beginnig of "Immigrant Song".
Batman and Robin soundtrack. Epic
WOW awesome 😎
Does it make you happy you're so strange?
johnedsel Yes
eh (shrugs)
0:39 that fucking riff
watch on 0.75 speed is even better
Genius

Great song. Iykyk
Come on Billy ! Bring D'Arcy back for fuck sake !!
D'arcy 💙
He looks like Walter Skinner at Open Mic Night.
👏👏👏👏
El batería tiene mi respeto
video and audio are horribly out of sync.
+Made Indar his voice too :/
I still managed to whack it to D'arcy twice
LMFAO
Idiot nerd
The king of grunge.
@ 0:53 Didn't know Billy was hiding biscuits in his pants!
Perhaps nostalgia speaking... but I still prefer this heavier version to the slower one
So much better than radio edit
oh secos
Way better than the Batman video
Who is this drummer,..damn!🤟
the drummer is happy as fuck !
Some of the music in this video is not live but dubbed in. Still sounds good though
the end is the beginning of the end
When billy went full sith lord
This is a great version but I think the studio mix is more atmospheric. The slower tempo brings something more haunting out.
Roland Baldwin hah I like your Billy Corgan makeover
Does he have a beard? I have a beard. Thanks for making me laugh Jake.
Roland Baldwin no but sometimes he wears a black jacket and a scarf, similar to gru from dispicable me
