"I miss everything I'll never be" those lyrics are so sad but beautiful
Hi I recommend an Indie Song called 'looking Into The Mirror' by Robert Nix
thanks hank
"Come save me from the awful sound of nothing" from Quiet is my favorite
“Consumed by love, devoured by hate, it only powers my escape.”
Makes the whole song for me
I mentioned to my dad that I loved this video when I was a kid, he sat and watched Much Music until it came on and taped it on VHS for me. I'm gonna call him now.
MattMonk i love this
What an awesome story, thank you for sharing!
Your dad's made of awesome .
that’s a cool dad. with good taste in music.
you just made me cry.
Siamese Dream is a masterpiece
all discography
Siamese Dream, Melancholy, and Adore were amazing.
Dream has been rated 10 of 10. I always thought it was originally missing that last bit. They put Luna in, and Behold! Perfection.
So many orgasmic riffs on this album
Agreed, they are the real kings of Grunge rock, not Nirvana, because of their longevity. I can't stand Nirvana anymore, to be honest.
Just the guitar tone by itself is a work of art. Siamese Dream will always be in my top 5 albums of all time, no question.
you mean the tone of 25 guitars lol
@@ronin6158 and a Big Muff
Other guitarists - I worked my entire life to capture my 1 perfect guitar tone. Smashing Pumpkins - We put 87 different guitar tones on 1 album, and they all sounded great.
Lots of overdubbing of guitars on this album. Like alot. Sounds amazing.
Totally. This caught me today just how sublime it is. The intro and continuous flow of the guitar is just so melancholy.
THE sound of 90s youth. There’s no other band or sound that speaks for youth of that time, absolutely classic.
Nirvana definitely did as well!
@@God-Love-Freedom not really the euphoria of the time, just the disillusionment
@@southendbusker7534 Both of those were still the feelings of 90's youth. And both Nirvana and SP personified them.
@@God-Love-Freedom nahh...nirvana didnt have the splendor pumpkins enriched. Nirvana was more piss on plate music for junkies. Not the same feel.
@@Utubesanarc Whatever dude. Nirvana personified the spirit of 90's youth. There's no getting around it. Take your personal bias or favoritism off the table.
No one can replicate the sound of the pumpkins at their height. A unique finger print on music history.
That sounds of bass with hard riff makes it
Indeed
Well spoken!👍
…Very beautiful, but very harsh on the ears Guitar sound
Too true the awesome opening guitar riff was too cool! Especially on the siamese dream album!
Being a teenager in the 90s, it was a time you just had to be there. The greatest era in time. After 9/11, EVERYTHING went downhill. We had the best of everything with hardly any rules at all. You could take me back as a child in the late 70/80s or a teen in the 90s and I wouldn’t miss any of this trash
Best of cops ruthlessly doing whatever they want with no accountability haha. Sorry just had to say it with all the recordings out there of police lying and such.
@@guitargod3545ok, bucko.
@@Cat_Magic811he’s not wrong
Well put
@user-pf1or6dv7e
You're older. We all are. Don't let your associations to your own youth tarnish how the zoomer, alpha & beta generations are/will experience now. Guess what....some nostalgic Zoomer one day will say....."if only I could go back to the 2010's, this 2040 shit sucks!" Get it?
It's amazing how throughout his whole career Jimmy looks about 45 years old
the secret to not aging is to look old fast.
@@TheDiervek tha secret to not aging is heroin 😅😅😅
Lol great observation..so true!
sooo true! David Coverdale...same thing. He looked 60 in the 80s. Looks exactly the same today.
@@awnaur0no919 rock and roll is heroin and they're straight mainlining or they wouldn't be able to play that good... party up party on ...rock on brother
If you didn't grow up watching music videos on tv you really can't comprehend the joy of finally catching one of your favorite bands music videos on tv. You may only see it a handful of times and then never again. You cant search it or watch it on demand. This def one of those videos that stuck with me. So friggin good.
For me it was Tonight, Tonight. I would go kneel in front of the TV so close that I could feel the static on my nose and my hair and top lip. Then try to feel like I was inside the music video. Like some 1990s VR
Hah, yeah .. having to sit through a bunch of pop garbage songs with videos that might as well be soft core porn to have gems like this come up where the music, lyrics and imagery really speaks to you ... Different world back then, I miss it. I miss everything being so mysterious and random ... It's like you said, to easy now to search, crop and edit our environments and lives.
I know, right
Am living in Africa in a country of Tanzania , I got access to hear Siamese Dream through VOA , thank You Voice of America
Tanzania 🇹🇿 is a beautiful country 🇺🇸🤝
Nothing beats the 90's. I miss it so much.
matt renaud I hear you! It depresses me when I think about it too much.
Thank you! I agree!
For sure some of the best music came out of the nineties. When I was a kid I remember realizing it. My favorite music decade.
1978-2002 for music. I love to be older to experiences the beginning of punk. The High New Wave merge together into alternative rock. Most of these guys loved that shit
best era to be a child...
2:12 still gives me goosebumps, immediately puts me back in that time and place when the whole world was wide open and I was free
Today smashing punkin
Early 90's had so many great albums but this is one of the BEST ever, still listening 30+ years later!
I miss D'Arcy. I wish her and Billy would get along. Life is too short.
Same here. I remember listening to this album and going on endless bike rides and adventures with my friends.
Yk I just got into the smashing pumpkins earlier this year and by far is this album I've of thier best work and is highly regarded for it shows
Those THICC fuzzy creamy guitar riffs, instantly brings me back to the 90s
It's that alt buzz.
Perhaps it’s Shoegaze. Some people like to call it that, but I’ll let you decide
That thicc 90's colors also lol but yeah, I miss Smashing Pumpkins, Mudhoney and Soundgarden on the radio, fuzz 24/7
At the time it was known as wall of sound. Tons of overdub to get those big avalanche sounds. Cherub Rock is a perfect example of the technique.
What a great summer.
Billy Corgan and Pumpkins into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame NOW!
2020 and watching this with my 6 and 4 year old kids sitting on my lap. I'm 49 and I was there in 1992 when it started.
dustyjoe71 i know exactly how you feel, I still think I’m 16 most of the time 😁
🤘🤘 Party On!!
Same here
I'm with you bud.
I'm 45 and rocked this like there was no tomorrow when I was a high schooler.
Now...
My 12 and 10 year olds, like it when I jam out to it.
38 here , and my girls enjoy the Pumpkins too :-)
One of the greatest songs of all time. Period.
Tbh I can't decide for they have so many bangers/hits🔥🔥🎸🎸💯
Jimmy’s hi-hat and snare use on this album is just phenomenal.
LMFAO
Here in 2024. This song is so tight. The melodic and repetitive rhythm from D'Aarcy Wretzky on bass, the heavily distorted guitar, the lyrics, the vocals, etc. Just amazing.
Rocket is one of the most often overlooked songs on Siamese Dream. Billy and Jimmy forever.
Hi I recommend a new indie song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
D’arcy was very important to the songwriting process. Billy says she was a good sounding board from the very beginning. She (obviously) looks at things from a female point-of-view, and would encourage Billy’s feminine side. D’arcy was fired/quit right after Machina was complete, but before the Machina tour kicked off. If you really think about it, Billy hasn’t written any EXCELLENT songs since D’arcy left. I think there are SEVERAL excellent songs on Machina, including Try, Try, Try, and With Every Light and I, of the Mourning. Obviously: Stand Inside Your Love is excellent, too. D’arcy also played on Machina II, and some of those songs are EXCELLENT, too: Slow Dawn is one of my favorite Pumpkins songs. Cash Car Star is good, and so is Real Love. When I think of Machina II, I know that they recorded those songs during (or right after) Machina. Machina II has a MUCH different feel to me than Machina, but you can feel the feminine sensibilities that D’arcy brought to the table in those last 2 albums she played on. Ever since she left, it doesn’t feel like The Smashing Pumpkins. Rather: It feels like Billy Corgan with a backing band. The Smashing Pumpkins were a team, with D’arcy and James and Jimmy being a big part of the picture. Without D’arcy, that team is not complete.
@@wildmercuryfilms Siamese dream was all billy and jimmy. It is arguably their best album- i believe it is #1. The fact is… only jimmy could hang with Billy’s abilities.
@Robert exactly. It's Billy and Jimmy, yet people bring up D'arcy like she is some transcendent musician. James at least has writing credits on the album, but Billy and Jimmy are the reason it sounds amazing. It has nothing to do with D'arcy.
I was born this century and didn't discover this album till 2015 or so. It's not just about the 90s - the nostalgia is baked into the sound, it's universal to all times and places.
Yeah real shit
I love to see younger people getting into the music I listened to 30 years ago
The bridge/chorus to this song still gives me goosebumps. Siamese Dream remains my favorite-the original lineup was my favorite. Jimmy Chamberlain on drums with his distinctive sound, and D'arcy whose bass tone is one of the best I've heard.
couple goosebump songs,
Billy played bass on all of the albums, D'arcy only played live
No love for mr iha
one of my all time favorite bands, so asymmetrical yet incredibly coherent, not just music but sound design from a beautiful anguish.
@@oigloriousoi I don't think he played bass (at least not 100%) on mellon collie
Goddamn...
2:12 is one of the best transitions in a song I've ever heard. Gives me a little adrenaline rush every time it happens. It's such a perfect chorus as well. Billy's vocals are spot-on and mesh with the guitars well.
It's just something that only The Smashing Pumpkins can do.
So good you don't even notice it.....
The one at 2:35 is even better. Jimmy's displacement of that final bass drum beat back onto the one, is just amazing as the vocal tails off and the guitar lead melody comes in.
same here!
Release the dopamine!
doublestrokeroll Ah yeah great call
3:04 Man, that's a lot of mustard for one hot dog.
not if your from chicago
John Badal oh yeah lol
thats how they did it in the 90s when you could actually sell albums!
open your eyes to these mustard lies
That's what she said.
Bleed in your own light
Dream of your own life
I miss me
I miss everything I'll never be
And on, and on
I torch my soul to show the world that I am pure
Deep inside my heart
No more lies
A crown of horns
An image formed deformed
The mark I've borne
A mark of scorn to you
Consume my love, devour my hate
Only powers my escape
The moon is out, the stars invite
I think I'll leave tonight
So soon I'll find myself alone
To relax and fade away
Do you know what's coming down
Do you know I couldn't stay free?
I shall be free
Free of those voices inside me
🐐. Thank you! 🙏🏻
Ditto!
❤️
Please play this song for me at my funeral...
Dat guitar tone
they ended their set with this song at lalapalooza one year with a drawn out version of this song and just disappeared from stage in a cloud of smoke.....it was amazing.....everything got quiet.....then the crowd exploded. They were so awesome live.
Wow, lucky who was there
I’m taking all of my kids to go see them this year
I love how all the old SP albums had their own unique sound to them. Gish was more on the trippy side, Siamese Dream (which this track was on) had more of a Shoegaze sound. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness sounded more raw and Grungy, and Adore was in a category all its own (I think Adore is an extremely underrated album, it still deserves a place in the top 4).
+Mike Novella Pisces Iscariot has honestly some of the best SP material on it. Really underrated.
+Mike Novella How was Mellon Collie raw and grungy? That album literally had Violins, Harp and Piano on it, aswell as tons and tons of layered guitar. Through the eyes of ruby had 70 guitar tracks for it. Mellon Collie is a huge, ambitius, theatrical album, the exact opposite of what Grunge stood for. And Siamese Dream had some elements in common with the british alt rock bands like Slowdive, Ride, The Verve etc, but I would'nt go as far as calling it a shoegaze album. You are definately right about Gish tho :P
Mike Novella I am iffy on 'Adore' but 90's Smashing Pumpkins is KING!
Adore.I remember listening to it the first time and setting it to the side.. literally for months because it wasn't what I expected. One night i put it back in and suddenly the beauty and genius of the album was there in front of me... part of me. I'd never hear it the same way again.
Adore got a new wave vibe
I absolutely love when the rocket blasts off and the way the music works with the video.
Love the piercing guitar through this song, such fuckin' pleasure!
I love the guitar on this one! I find it so psychodelic.
Fifty 1 Fifty big muff
His guitar tone is like 50 amps in unison about to explode yet somehow harmoniously holding it together.
Pyschedelic lol
Amen
Smashing Pumpkins did use Psychedelic elements along with elements of grunge and grunge and Jimi are both from Seattle. Even though Smashing Pumpkins weren’t
I still missing MTV in the 90's
"I shall be free of the voices inside me"Yes- this masterpiece is celebrating the decision it's your time to leave this world. Ironic how the sad lyrics are blended with instrumentals that are upbeat and powerful. Genius
Keri M Billy is such an extremely gifted song/music writer. A guitar god. Total package ❤️❤️❤️❤️
this song is quintessential 90's sound. Happy Summer days forever.
The kids' rocket working and going up into the sky, their perplexed parents, and Billy singing "I shall be free" make me want to sob desperately for my lost childhood. "I miss everything I'll never be". So do I.
I'm 42 now and this still gives me the same feeling and goosebumps it did when I first heard it when I was 13 yes I missed the first wave of SP but I was there for the masterpiece of Meloncolhy and the infinite sadness
my favorite pumpkins song
+Alex Jones alex jones please, alex jones
+Jack Squat it's the lizard people.
Its top 3. Real music. Nothing like Pumpkins
It’s mi favourite too
tbh its so hard to choose with atleast 20 songs that could be the number one for me
Listening to this song for the 1,000th time and that crescendo at the end still gives me goosebumps, and always will.
You kids have no idea what it was to be in love in 1994 to your first love with this band as the soundtrack.
This came out when I was 10, my brother (12 years older than me) had the album and made me a copy on cassette. I listened to Siamese Dream on my Walkman all the time while playing outside when I wasn’t with friends. I loved (and still love) the entire album, but this was the song I would always rewind and go back to repeatedly. I would do anything to go back to 1994, put my headphones on, and stare at what seemed an infinite blue sky and unlimited possibilities... I’d do anything to go back to that time...
I was 7, my brother was 14 years older and had the CD. It lived in my portable player all the way through high school. Absolute masterpiece of an album.
I understand man. I was 15 when this came out. Me and two of my friends would hang and listen to this album. I’m the only one of us three left. Hits me in the feels….
I think I have played this 37 times in a row now.
AntipodeanStar i played ava adore 90 times in 3 days...so glad I'm not the only 1 doing these things...lol
I honestly want to see Billy, James, D'arcy and Jimmy perform this song live this year wearing those very outfits.
My introduction to Smashing Pumpkins. November 22, 1991. four days before my 19th birthday. A bunch of friends bought tickets to go see the Red Hot Chili Peppers at a club in Detroit, MI called Clubland. Had no clue who the opening bands were. Opening act comes on and blows us away. Ends up being some band called Pearl Jam. Next band comes on and I was hooked. The groove. The feeling in the air. Had to find out who they were. Went out and purchased Gish the next day. Quickly discovered they opened with Rocket and then played Tristessa. Of course, the RHCP kicked it as usual. Second best concert ever for me. (Best concert: 1st Lallapalooza at the Pine Knob Music Center Clarkston, MI)
I remember thinking at the time that this album sounded like it was from the future....30 years later,I feel the same way.....It's still going to hold up in another 30
The best album ever made, Every song I fucking love off it.
which album is this ?
13antoanto Siamese Dream, give it a listen it's really good. :)
that is a HEAVY statement. best album ...ever created? EVER?
i dunno... it is a greeeeeaaaaaat album... but not the best ever.
in my top ten
A desert island disc for sure
Good times. When this type of rock ruled.
Love that wall of Fuzzzzz
@Jungle Bunny I'm 17 and I completely agree. Music like this is amazing, the music that comes out these days is terrible.
There's so much I love about this video. Reminds me of the glory days of MTV.
Yes when MTV was great.
This is my favorite Smashing Pumpkins song, the guitars are the ending gives me goosebumps
I hate MTV for creating reality tv. Basically destroyed music era not to mention social media.. I miss the 90’s
MTV is irrelevant nowadays
funny how the 90s now seems so defined in style, i couldn't tell about 10 years ago
Because you grew up with the bullshit music they have today
What?
+OneMinuteFixed don't worry bud, I know what you were trying to say haha
For the same reason you watch home videos from 20 years ago, and everyone's clothes seem so freakish. You never see the time you're living in clearly. You've heard the saying hindsight is 20/20?
Yeah I agree with this. Up until 2000, every decade was so clearly defined. I guess the early 2000s as well, but since then to me it just seems to merge into one. Maybe it's my age :)
Billy and James went to my high school. I was a sophomore when this dropped.
With my jaw. Gorgeous.
Best SP song arguably. The guitar tone and 0:57 is amazing thanks Billy for making an amazing album.
I love this song so much.
Hi I recommend a song and video called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
Takes me back to running around my old neighborhood in the summertime, catching fireflies in the dandelion field next to my yard, staying outside until dark every day. Or the summer days when I would sunbathe on the deck after swimming all day, stereo out, and hear this song come on Q101. There's nothing like those times.
Chicago Q101 I'm in Bridgeport 😊
when music videos were music videos. I
I remember my mom seeing this video with me and say how Billy looked like a normal well mannered person who doesn't look like he belongs in a rock band. Fast forward 4 years later and he sees him with the shaved head, make up, space pants and zero shirt and she's freaked out by him.
Your mom my mom is half indian.
Alt-Rock ladies and gentleman. In that era the less traditionally "cool" you were, the better.
tonecot89 that zero shirt is life
But Billy was the greatest guy. I was friends with him and hung around with them in Chicago from Mellon Collie thru their first official retirement after Adore... Do u guys know their Adore tour they gave all the money they made from the tour to Make a Wish Foundation, for kids with cancer?? They never publicized it but they did... Billy told me about it. Amazing genuine people
@Macro Aggressor: The Titty Baby Killer I dunno about all of that, I mean I know that grunge wasn't called grunge when it first came out, but as humans tend to do we try to put labels on things ASAP so we can put them in boxes that help us to define what it is. I know that grunge as a term was coined before Kurt Cobain died, he even has a famous photo where he is wearing a shirt that says "Grunge is dead" so I dunno, if you weren't labeling SP alternative rock back in the mid 90s... what were they calling it then? Certainly not grunge, it's not even close to that. But regardless, the point is Smashing Pumpkins almost embodied this space that Weezer found really comfortable as time went on where it's inherently geeky and where the minority in high schools especially, the weirdos, found a home in this kind of music. Billy Corgan was the king of this space for a long, long time, in the same way Kurt was the king of the grunge world. And hated it, but I digress. So whether they called it alt-rock back then or not, I am not sure, my question is this: what DID they call it? Rock music is way too oversimplified for what the Pumpkins were in their prime, even though it is indubitably still rock music. Too simple though. I think the 90s was all alternative rock, it just depended what exactly your bag of tea was -- darker stuff, grunge. Lighter, alternative rock.
This entire album is a major win. Great music from a great time for music.
This was the Pumpkins' Imperial Period. Everything they touched turned to Gold.
Smashing pumpkins were ahead of their time...In my opinion.
Among those groups in their genre that were underrated but powerful more now!
You know you're getting old when the bands you grew up to look younger than you. I'm just glad I was around in the 90's. It was a miserably happy time.
Staying up late recording vhs mtv ....drinking home brew playing guitar and smoking billies those were the days ...
This video brings tears to my eyes. My best friend and I were the same age as these kids, caught up in fantasies, ignored by our parents. We had our outlets too. This was a fun, relatable resemblance. I'll always be grateful. We're still best friends to this day, 30+ years later. Thanks, pumpkins.
Beautiful comment 👍🏼👏🏼💪🏽
It was summer and I had just finished grade 5 when I first saw this. I was so captivated by the sounds and sights, I knew I needed to react quickly. I grabbed the first vhs I could find which happened to be something my father had saved for later viewing. He was livid and I couldn't be more grateful for having discovered this. This song changed my life.
Nice!! 😁 my first concert, was 14 and dropped off, by friends parent.. Still my fav concert to this day.. Hard to top the pumpkins.. I'm 35 now , and still jam out to them lol
Sweet! Same here, 14, 1st concert, parental drop off! A magical time.
iamthefirsttosecond me too! Fifth grade specifically, but for me it was the Today video. Loved this band ever since.
Why is 14 yrs old always the 1st concert? Mine was 1989, Metallica, And Justice for All tour. I was 14.
You taped over your dads prno?
D'arcy is extremely cute in this video. This song always lifts my spirit on a grey day. I count myself very lucky to have grown up in the 90's, just the best of times. With the best tunes
Thanks for blessing youth with songs to forget about life's problems Smashing Pumpkins.
I used to have eargasms with this song. I miss that.
I get chills when the rocket takes off. What an amazing video.
Mayonaise is the best song ever by Smashing Pumpkins
The Siamese dream album was the best
Album produced by Butch Vig. 30 years plus and still is a fenomenal record.
Gold doesn’t get old
Man Darcy plays one hell of a bass.
2:12 is the my fav part of the song
Oh yeah, sound sooo good :)
And 3:12 too
The scene at the end sums up how I feel now that I can afford to see these bands which are suddenly 30 years older than when I loved them in their prime.
I need more songs and music like this. It goes hard but it’s chilling and liberating at the same time
Hi I recommend a new indie song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
Sounds so sweet and innocent, but also deep and dark 💕
Relax and fade Awayahayyy!!!!
Masterpiece. The early 90:s pumpkins was insane!
I think it’s my favorite pumpkin song
This song should have been bigger, very under rated.
Most underrated songwriter of our time.
Such a wonderful song. The droniness of the guitars. Jimmy's tight drumming. That solo using an effect I don't know. Perfect
That would be an Electro-Harmonix Microsynth. Billy used that pedal for his lead tone for solos a lot on Siamese Dream, especially in Hummer (the first and second solos, which sound very buzzy/fizzy), the brief Rocket solo, the scorcher of a solo in Geek USA, etc. It's a very familiar tone once you know what to listen for, and you hear it a lot on the record. Worked out pretty well, because it was probably one of the very, very few types of fuzzy/distorted tones that could actually cut through a mix of extremely heavily Muff'd guitars.
@@bsnyder921 The sound of guitar on hummer has always been one of my favorites but I coulnt'd quite get there.
@@anthonyfuqua6988 same here. I don't think anyone will ever truly get "there". That sound is a combination of several guitar tracks. Even if you get the gear right, there's still mic placement, EQs on the mixing board, and just the human factor/touch. Nailing that tone (or any tone) will always be an elusive thing -- but that doesn't mean it isn't fun to try. For me, my strat into the op-amp reissue Muff is 90%+ of the Siamese Dream tone, and it's a blast just to play that combination.
@@bsnyder921 yeah I'm just happy I could get close. I cant do all the guitar overdubs. Bands have techs that set all that stuff up. I wouldn't mind just being a guitar tech.I think rock is dying tho but theres some decent stuff out there.
@@bsnyder921 someone needs to make an all in one guitar pedal that nails that sound
Seems like Smashing pumpkins and Radiohead were the bands that redefined the alt rock
My favorite music video of all time. Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris kick ass!
The little kid inside the rocket smiling when they blasted off melted my heart!💜" Free from the voices inside me"!
Pumpkins going full Amblin for this video was genius.
Imagine if mayonaise had a music video
haha
Geek USA, too. Soma, too. Damn.
Why didn't i win american idol I freaking love mayonnaise. It's my favorite song
ugh ik!
no music video, but many a sandwich
Nothing from Seattle sounded like this. It's a shame they still get lumped into that whole grunge scene from the 90s. Smashing Pumpkins was more shoegaze/dream pop with an obvious nod to classic rock.
They picked up the alt rock/grunge standard when Nirvana died and ran with it to make it their own and went their own non punk rock way with guitar solos and such,
Totally agree. Can't really encapsulate any band from that era. They all had elements of many genres
Smashing Pumpkins was alternative to grunge, at the time when when grunge became cool alternative.
You’re exactly right! Smashing Pumpkins was not grunge. They were coincidental to grunge, AND they had a unique sound which was not part of the the previous 10 year cycle of commercial music.
While they aren’t necessarily grunge by definition, no one would be mad at referring to them as a grunge band
@@flapjackson6077 interesting take. I still love this song and Siamese Dream altogether maybe more now than in the 90s it's aged well. Other acts from that era sound incredibly dated and a chore to listen to.
So much Hendrix influence in the guitar work...it's beautiful
This song is about Billys little brother. Love how their music videos tend to resonate with the song meaning and tone. Long live the Pumpkins!
2:13 that chorus takes me right back to me getting high on dirt weed, driving around in my toyota truck, blasting this on ungodly levels, a nice spring day, 64 degrees outside, crisp air, warm sun, just me cruising around Campbell, Ca and San Jose. I'd give anything to feel that again.
Man.... I remember the exact day my Ma bought me this album 28 years ago. Totally elevated my appreciation for music at 12 years old. Glad it still takes me back.
Wow your mother had a fire taste in music
Siamese Dream just might be the greatest album I've ever listened to while stoned. Seriously though, if any of you smoke weed, I suggest you listen to the album while you're high and you can thank me later.
Listen too "The Mollusk" by Ween...
Chocolate and Cheese on Ketamine. Only time I ever did that stuff and it was so weird. During "I Can't Put My Finger On It" I saw the dwarf inside.
A good weed album is Hesitant Alien by Gerard Way
Well it could be interesting but I don't think this album can be better than Depeche Mode "Ultra", Morrissey "Maladjusted" and Radiohead "OK Computer" when you are stoned, If you don't believe me try it and then you tell me about it in comparison to Siamese Dream.
I second that. let the wall of sound engulf you. God bless :)
If this doesn't put chills up your spine, I don't know what will.
Definitely one of the albums that was a soundtrack to the 90s. God I wish I could go back! Such a great time to be alive!!!
I'm not sure if there is a better album that came out of the 90s. Top 5 for me for sure
Nevermind, Jagged Little Pill and this are top 5 candidates
Butch Vig, lets not forget his impeccable production in the most iconic albums of the 90's.
This is by and far the SP's best and most polished album. Phenomenal.
I miss those days, ffs!
Sigh!
Never get tired listening to Smashing Pumpkins
He looks better with hair
Unfortunately everyone wanted the grunge sound and pumpkins came outta left centre Thank god they did
My favorite Pumpkin song!!
Out of all the bands to come out of the 90s, this is one of the few that just doesn't ever get old.
Such an underrated song!
