He is great! One of the drummers I studied coming up. I played in a band where we played a lot of the pumpkins songs as covers. Jimmy isn't playing this song exactly like he used to. The studio version is very close to what I've always heard him play live, and it seems he is missing a few tiny accents that he is known for in his playing. But even still, lol, dude is better than most drummers we get to here these days.
Not sure if you're replying to me or just trying to impress the general population, but my comment didn't detail my reasoning, history or experience in drumming and music at all. Some people are older, smarter and more experienced than you think. RUclips is accessible to all, after all. I think your comment on fanboys who repeat what they say to give the illusion blah blah blah just seems a tad elitist and prejudicial. Kind of presumptuous comment overall, really.
This makes me happy. Billy will always be the voice of the pumpkins, and even with his amazing guitar riffs, the sound wasnt the same without Jimmy's heavy drum hands.
@@caiusmadison2996 get what you mean, but if you a good female bassist/singer, it does the job. Always thought melissa auf de marr did a great job with them. Also, big props to jeff shroeder, he's really helped push them forward
@Steve Sherman I would argue that having tenure under an opressive, control freak front man like Corgan is a major issue she didn't deal with in a healthy manner. I am in agreement she has made poor choices over the years, however, I think I understand why for some of it. I would never work with a person like Corgan as he is not a good person, just one of those power driven individuals who walk on whoever and whatever it takes. This is verbatim recounted by other musicians of his time as well, not just every other pumpkin. He's toxic, and when you are hooked on drugs around toxic people, it never ends well for the addict.
This was the first Pumpkins song I ever heard and it was right when it came out. This was part of the comet known as GRUNGE that hit the planet and killed the hair bands.
The pumpkins predated the 'so called' grunge movement by some way. The name hated by all the bands included under the Seattle umbrella. They were all so diverse in sound and looks.
@@davidsevern4765 Yeah, it was really just the 'people wearing normal clothes and not as much makeup' genre of rock. Which *checks video at top of page* uh, no definition holds forever...
Seeing as the comments are mostly about his looks rather than music, I'll add, he looks as he always does totally amazing, gorgeous, & he's my god any day xxxx
I only really ever liked Gish but I totally appreciate this performance because it was Smashing Pumpkins raw,loud & spot on. No backing tracks or assistance from technology. I was starting to forget what a real rock show sounded like.
@Steve Sherman Yes, I have seen her recently and it is a shame what she has done to herself. To me, D'Arcy will always be a part of the Pumpkins. It also looks as though she has had some plastic surgery. I still remember their appearance on SNL when she wore that lace top, horns, and the black makeup under her eyes......she looked gorgeous!
@Steve Sherman : Regardless of her personal situation, it's still a shame that she's not with the band. Yes, Billy Corgan wrote the majority of the music, every SP fan knows that, but she was still a huge part of the growth of the band. Her presence was well respected.
Always dug the Pumpkins, but Corgan looks more like Sloth from Goonies every day . Darcy was fucking hot as hell, wonder what she is up to decades later
Jimmy looks like a weird amalgamation of Daniel Craig as Bond and Matt Cameron. Oh wait, he IS a weird amalgamation of Daniel Craig as Bond and Matt Cameron...
Never understood guitarists phoning in their solos. As a kid I struggled and struggled to figure out these solos then Billy gets on stage and flubs his own solo. Very odd.
@@patthewoodboy I just seen Darcy in person about 3 months ago and she looked fabulous... stunning.. you can't go by a ten year old mug shot...plus she is a awesome person.
Uncle Fester, Darth Vader (sans helmet), Voldemort, Cenobite (Hellraiser), etc. - I'll add Aleister Crowley to the list. Corgan's one who's gone in hard for the Satanism shit... And like many others, I've had enough of them.
I’ve seen Billy so many times slamming other 90’s bands for lack of talent and musicality. If I walked into a bar and heard this rendition of this song, I’d go back to door, get my money back, and go to the next bar and put it in the jukebox. And play maybe play Nirvana just to spite him.
"Oh, I'm afraid my fender will be quite operational when the solo arrives." - Emperor Corgantine
Nicely done
Billy Corgan's transformation to Uncle Fester nears completion.
Yeah, wearing some vampire clothes n shit
"Don't overlook my butt, I work out all the time. And reaping burns a lot of calories."
What a douche, Billy must've been buttraped as a child like Korn's singer. Explains the shitty music as well.
Just needs the lightbulb in his mouth!
Lmao
Iconic guitar riff. Song still slaps. RIP Billy's hair
You're a little late on news, yeah ? He hasn't had hair in 2 decades..
He's incredible
Always loved Chamberlin. Crazy good drummer.

Luc Vaillancourt looks easy. Like he’s on his couch
Very underrated. Tragically so. He's very dynamic. Fluid too.

Caius Madison under rated? Are you serious?! He has massive respect in the drummer community, the media, and fans. You know nothing if you think that
Darth Vader when his helmet was removed.
Steven Samson looking very Sith Lord.
Wow, original commenting right here.
i thought it was more uncle fester after blowing up another expiriment
Voldemort killing it on guitar. 👌🏼
Matthew Snart haha he put a spell on you
Hahahahaha this is a great comment. Made me lol
This makes me happy. Billy will always be the voice of the pumpkins, and even with his amazing guitar riffs, the sound wasnt the same without Jimmy's heavy drum hands.
Anyone else think Billy looks like a Cenobite from Hellraiser, or is it just me? Great band.
That’s a no then. Embarrassing for you
Billy needs a few pins sticking out of his head. Lol
Thought I was the only one. Lol. You're not alone.
Original lineup 👍🏼 but Darcy is looking rough.......
Why Billy look like emperor Palatine?
I adore this song, I love how it sounds in Eb tuning too
If the vampire Nosferatu, A Japanese businessman, and Hawkeye from the Avengers all started a band, it would be Smashing Pumpkins circa 2019.
Ongo Gablogian well done, lol!
@@db_uptown4239 Thanks. 😂 honestly love them though.

@@db_uptown4239 Yes! I've played that video several times! What a great concert. 😎
Great vid!!! They sounded great and actually billy looked happy to be there 👍
The way billy plays looks so effortless. That left hand has a story to tell
Frankly it’s not a very difficult song, besides the solo which can be a tad tricky
@@andrewunknown111 I know, it was the first song I learned. I'm just infatuated with the way he makes his axes sing
@@roberth9948 oh agreed. That strat’s his little bitch
Wow, still slaying it Billy! Could do without the upside down cross, trench coat thing look though.
happy looking bunch
James Iha and Billy Corgan on stage again... Simply beautiful
corgan, iha, chamberlain. All you need.
Still should have D'Arcy. She was a main staple for their big years. It's sad bands get where they can't just do it for the fans.
@@caiusmadison2996 get what you mean, but if you a good female bassist/singer, it does the job. Always thought melissa auf de marr did a great job with them. Also, big props to jeff shroeder, he's really helped push them forward

Great to see them there wish they had much longer to play, Enjoyed greatly,a puka band!
Didn't see the Star Wars spoiler coming, when I came here-
It's great to see Billy in his element again. They sound awesome!!!
Wow...SNL '93 is a long ways away.
One of my favourite grunge band. Smashing Pumpkin 2019 still got it.. and they are making a new album.. yesssssssssssssssssssss
OMG！ Memories of my teenage years~
Well, I never thought Jimmy C would be back so I shouldn't be surprised that James Iha is back and still there.
Jimmy has been back on and off for years. He never really left long term. James is the one who was gone for over 15 years
@@nixter417 I know. I was just amazed they're both still there.
they havent sounded this good in a long long time,simply fucking spectacular:)
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU BILLY CORGAN
that is rad that the kid he got years ago is still playing with him.
Lazlo Hollyfeld Jeff is a amazing every bit as talented as corgan Or iha..
@@clisk35 no doubt. Saw an old video when he started with the band and he was way young. big props to Billy for giving him an honest shot!

the 1993 SNL version of "CR" blows this version away!
ron russo you had D on bass
It was 26 years ago and that energy has faded away with old age.

Wow, they sounded good!
I'm wondering when Agent Smith is going to pass by this gig and see Neo rocking a blue Strat
Let meow
Wow, great performance!
Looks like he has no emotions left
25 years playing same songs kills everybody's soul.
He said it himself on his hit song "tonight tonight
" the more you change the less you feel, tonighhtttt..
4:40 TROLLED!
Awesome
Saw them in Tampa last year...incredible show. If D'Arcy had been included it would have been epic. They still sound great though.
You goin to see slipknot sept 6th?
@@jamesmorris911 Not sure if I could handle Slipknot!

Great song.
I only clicked on this to say Corgan is trying to look like Quan Chi from Mortal Kombat. WTF is he doing!? Lol
As a Tool fan, singers dressing up like this is quite normal!
😭😭
Nice to see pumpkins sounding good.
was there,slayer playing there last show on the other stage, had to see pumpkins thoe
did Billy sell his Impact Wrestling investment refund yet?
This set was a masterclass, the only other band on the bill on the same level as Tool imho.
Naaaaah nothing, knowhere fucking blew my box aswell. Great year tho tbh
Jimmy - what a fucking drummer
Here in 2019!
Too good !
This is the original smashing pumpkins minus d-arcy
plus +jeff (+joy division's son; touring bassist jack bates
Fuck what home boy looks like, just listen to those fucking riffs.
I believe this tour Billy traveled by Space craft
Who knew Nosferatu was such a good guitar player
Senator Palpatine rocks a mean guitar.
No D'arcy. What a shame. Seeing her up there with the boys would've completed it. Oh well.
@Steve Sherman : Regardless of her personal situation, it's still a shame that she's not with the band. Yes, Billy Corgan wrote the majority of the music, every SP fan knows that, but she was still a huge part of the growth of the band. Her presence was well respected.
Great video!!!
Jimmy chainberlin has such a magic feel...
Always dug the Pumpkins, but Corgan looks more like Sloth from Goonies every day .
Darcy was fucking hot as hell, wonder what she is up to decades later
Where is the girl in basist??
Wheres D'arcy??!!
Prolly in a gutter somewhere with a needle in her arm.
Palpatine is that you
Jimmy looks like a weird amalgamation of Daniel Craig as Bond and Matt Cameron.
Oh wait, he IS a weird amalgamation of Daniel Craig as Bond and Matt Cameron...
RIP Billy's voice 😭😭
where's Darci?
Billy looks like he can be in the next Star Wars movie
Miss D’arcy .....
Daydream Believer
Misfits + Ziggy Stardust = *2019 Smashing Pumpkins*
How come no one looks like they are having fun?
Wait. Is that Peter Hook’s son on bass?
Yes
great job Nosferatu
Supreme Leader Snoke rocks!
Whoa, D'arcy has REALLY let herself go.
Uncle fester is that you
When did D'Arcy grow a beard?
Why is the bass player on the stage?
Never understood guitarists phoning in their solos. As a kid I struggled and struggled to figure out these solos then Billy gets on stage and flubs his own solo. Very odd.
Corgan lookin' more and more like Nosferatu these days...........
Man, Darcy is looking rough...
hes better looking , you want to see her in real life , she looks like death
Drugs are bad......mmmmkay
@@patthewoodboy I just seen Darcy in person about 3 months ago and she looked fabulous... stunning.. you can't go by a ten year old mug shot...plus she is a awesome person.
😂
@@charlesm8482 were you wearing really dark lenses and she was facing the other way with a paper bag on her head ?
Is he singing "who wants that zombie" ? ? ?
Corgan lookin like a member of the Cenobites from Hell Raiser.
I guess he's throwing it back to the glam/goth days? Black and aluminum?
Heck, Uncle Fester can still play a mean guitar!

Billy sounds so much better now
Perhaps Dany wouldn't have torched Lord Varys if she'd seen him play this.
wow ...awesome ...Dont see darcy though
Yeah but Billy sang "wish you were here" I could swear he was thinking at her 😝!!! Joke!!! Very bad though without
D'arcy
@@paolabenazzi2319 how is it bad without d'arcy? You can barely hear the bass here, pretty sure d'arcy wouldnt sound any better
@@ukkovuorela4196 nothing to say against jack bates but D'arcy is the original bass and in my opinion a reunion is with everyone
Yeah might be time to give it up i reckon
Count Orlok is a pretty good guitar player.
Billy is turning into Nosferatu
and Darcy has grown a beard.
Fuckin *EDGE LORD*

Gish is all that is needed.
That a boy get back on that Stratocaster.
Why is Corgan dressed like a Sith Lord? Lol
Edge lord**
I see Hooky's son on ze bass..
Not now...no way the same without D'arcy!
Like Zeppelin without Bonzo.
did he say who wants donny?
Easy for Varys to hit those high notes without testicles.
When Uncle Fester and Kirsten Dunst had a baby and it learned how to play the guitar....
Emperor Palpatine can play guitar pretty well
