Smashing Pumpkins - Late Show With David Letterman

2007-07-09

[@thepanman8]

The drummer is incredible, didn't miss a beat

[@justinwilliam4644]

That's jc to you

[@lemmingbcn]

He is and will always be awesome.

[@adrianb2066]

💪🥁

[@ChristopherJ655]

Billy Corgan will be remembered as one of the greats sadly it won't be really realized till he's gone...

[@lootbird]

Except, for his fans

[@FesteredTsar]

What's a shame is the fact that Siamese Dream isn't ranked higher on the list of best rock albums of all time. Its ranked 8th for most important 90's albums but I'd say it belongs top 3 easily. And I'd hate to say where it belongs in the top 3. 3 albums that defined the 90's (at least to me) were Nevermind, Siamese Dream and And Out Come The Wolves. Nevermind & And Out Come The Wolves were 2 records that literally changed the entire industry and affected culture heavily. Siamese Dream was its own rock category that was too good to be just an "alternative" record. Its still an album I enjoyed more than Nevermind but I understand why people list Nevermind so high. I just feel that musically speaking, Siamese Dream was the best album of that decade.

[@bslz65]

billy deserves his own fender imo. considerin he and the pumpkins are one of the greatist bands ever.

[@TheNorthwestWind]

has 3 or 4 guitar models out now, including a new one to be released this month

[@MarkRoss-er4yq]

He also has a few custom models with Reverend Guitars now

[@Danimal77]

greatest****

[@kristopherguilbault5428]

Ask and you receive lol

[@williamanthony175]

He's playing his fender model in the video

[@ericwg73]

They sounded SOOO good. Damn, JC is a friggin monster.

[@energyasylum997]

Jimmy kicked the rest of the band right up a few extra floors!! Good heavens, dude is a beast!

[@ChannelZ3RO]

Underrated banger!!! Great performance as well!

[@americanpancakelive]

Here after the live Beguiled on Fallon and realizing how fucking great the Smashing Pumpkins have sounded since 1993!

[@thomasgillespie17]

Honestly, I realy loved this look and lineup. Great visuals. In 2020 it probably would've worked better.

[@rafaelpablo6827]

I really like these guys, they are dedicated to create and play in the music. I just love them!

[@trophykid1635]

This is my absolute favorite version of this song. Better than the one thats on the album. But thats what Billy does, he never stops, he just keeps on perfecting every little piece until it is absolutely EPIC.

[@ChannelZ3RO]

Chamberlain Making everything look easy. I swear he's listening to "Pure Moods" while he's out there.

[@SN2903]

Best band ever

[@Crimsonphilosophy]

Chamberlain is so effortless in those fills. My main beef with this album was it was not well produced which is shocking because it was the guy who did Queen.

[@Crimsonphilosophy]

Did you like Oceania?

[@Crimsonphilosophy]

100% better. His singing has improved too.

[@zacatecanjack4476]

Chamerlain is a Jazz drummer, playing this music is like shooting fish in a barrel for him

[@kranmaster]

Incorrect. Baker produced just 2 songs on the album, Starz & Pomp. I don't get how in the age of universal accessibility to information, people seem to spout out more misinformation than ever.

[@indalito3003]

the young drummer can play this but chamberlain got the groove

[@cdreyes81]

If the album sounded this raw, it would rule

[@fshort]

Jimmy is a BEAST!

[@SparkleFalter]

He's 6'4" if I recall. He didn't seem as tall in the past i think cause he slouched a lot... and james and d'arcy were taller than these two.

[@kymgluyas6498]

Incredible, like a computer at times

[@logwind]

Thanks for the music, Billy.

[@frenchgoalieguy]

Such a great song!

[@TakeFlight]

That was freaking amazing!!!!

[@Paul-dw2cl]

Billy sounds great

[@18Dparr]

JIMMY FUCKING CHAMBERLIN!

[@standinsilence]

This song has the best use of harmonics in a Pumpkins tune since Zero.

[@ironandpotatoes974]

This god damned song RIPS!

[@tonyhall3365]

His voice just hasn't changed over the years. Astonishing

[@mcafton78]

Great!

[@SWbro94]

he's got one, he's playing it in this video.

[@gamt89]

the best

[@napndash]

Definitely a sign when Dave doesn't even get up

[@J0NNO]

fuck this band were tight. amazing performance.

[@natemekis3959]

I don't want to fight
Every single night
Everything I want is in your eyes
You and me go back
To places I don't know to care
The spoils of all I got were left for scraps
Don't let me say this
But you're no worse than me
It's crazy
We are as real if real ever was
Just because we are the real, they feel we have enough
We are the real 'cause someone gave us up
I wanna be there when you're happy
I wanna love you when you're sad
Can't stand the morning rain?
Get out, I'll take your place then
Can't stand the blazing sun?
Then close your eyes, you'll see
The angel dust
I don't wanna be anything believed
A million watts of sound can't compare
Come along, you'll see the world
The pulse ripples, the crowd unfurls
The current starts to flow, and then you're on
Oh, it's the white hot soul they want
To sing for
We are the real if real ever was
Just because we are the ruin of every living soul
We are surreal 'cause someone gave us up
Don't break the oath
I wanna love you when you're happy
Don't break this oath
I wanna be there when you're sad
Freeze-frame the pouring rain
We are the real, as real as any ghost
So easy now
We are the real in every living soul
Oh don't they know?
Can't stand the blazing sun?
Can't stand the morning rain?
Ah, get out, I'll take your place again
I don't wanna be alone
I don't wanna be alone
I don't wanna be alone, at all
If it's a white hot soul they want
Then a black heart they'll get

[@waterpump7961]

billy fucking genius...!!

[@TheSiameseDreamer]

Jimmy is a beast. Fuck.

[@fredrubble700]

Zeitgeist is very underrated. It gets killed, even by Billy, but has some great music.

[@tonycurry]

BILLY IS FUCKING ROCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[@bonhamclackey574]

They should rerelease Zeitgeist.

[@arifeliz6441]

why would they perform this song in 2009 when the album came out in 2007

[@yuppiekiller]

@h879xx Tall as fuck... I met him once... he stood out like a sore thumb.

[@crabmanvids9905]

@strategery101 6' 3'' bro

[@stratcat28]

I love the smashing pumpkins but i dont like fuzz pedals.

[@Reprodestruxion]

Linda on keyboards?

[@strategery101]

@h879xx 7' 3"

[@Sam_T2000]

lol @ Billy Corgan always getting a female bass player...

[@Chaziltasm]

This album could have been good but the production is so flat its just a wall of noise.

[@MikeSavoia]

Rad the Letterman band was playing Kings-X @alienbeans

[@moz7777]

Corgan is so under-rated on guitar

[@TheNorthwestWind]

absolutely

[@justinwilliam4644]

What does that even mean? He has a huge fan base, done interviews for guitar mags, pretty much a spokesperson for fender stratocasters and still selling out arenas as of 2020. He is underrated how?

[@Brinta3]

@@justinwilliam4644
He is never mentioned in any lists of greatest guitarists.

[@ChillyPhillyM]

@@Brinta3 That's true. He's always credited by the media as a singer. But he is also the head songwriter and lead guitarist. Does not get the credit for his guitar skills as much as he should.
