D'arcy, had such an ability to harmonize with Billy. I have a spot in my heart for her. She is what is missing from the reformed band. I hope her the best and am grateful for the time she spent with the Pumpkins. I honestly don't think as much of the early sound would have been the same. It's subtle but she is there.
I'm 64 and a black man the first time I heard this i loved it.....but didn't know the name of the group and song. Not long after they did a show Atlanta 3 blocks from my house. I saw the posters but still didn't know their names. When I finally knew the names.....I was kicking myself in the ass every since then!
I mean, how did we make it out of the 90's without knowing everything about folks' sexual leanings like MTV devotes its time to today? Who knew that millenials would come along to point out how horrible we were
You had to make that comment about her being a junkie how many times now? Who cares. You got some serious problems. Btw Billy only did the bass on gish and SD but he also did James parts so I guess he's a bad musician too? Billy did the parts because he's Billy Corgan, not because James and darcy were that bad. Darcy sounded good on any live version I've seen and she was a huge part of the band.
same here. while many consider mellon collie their peak, i consider it the beginning of their downfall. like guns n roses with the "illusion" albums, they got too pretentious for their own good. it's still a solid album (as is both illusions) but with it they lost sight of what made them great.
sounds like a angel , looks like an angel , just may be , just to bad my ex says im satan himself so I dont think it would work for me and Darcy but willing to try ! lol
My gosh. Gish and Siamese Dream were on a CONSTANT loop in my younger days. Brilliant albums. Gish changed my life. Jimmy Chamberlain is an INSANE drummer. Thank you Smashing Pumpkins for all the amazing times with friend's listening to your amazing songs!
Gish was never that important to me since I didn't grow up owning it. I did grow up having Siamese Dream, however, and that album made me fall in love with dream pop.
wonder how many are fans because we was young dudes with crush on her, hell I still have one , ive always strongly disliked Billy but still always listened to them I guess why I was wondering not sure myself
She gets shit on (unreasonably so) because Billy wrote and recorded the bass on the albums. She definitely holds it down live, and her vocals made Billy sound so much better than he actually was (she was heavy in the mix both live and on albums), but she gets hate because she's playing the bass lines that Billy wrote and originally performed.
@@benbub123 Except that's not even true. He recorded "most" of the guitar parts on Gish and Siamese Dream. He recorded the bass on Machina and Adore, and Mellon Collie was fully collaborative from all members. Billy Corgan is an amazing musician, but he's also rich and insane and loves to exaggerate his prowess. Now his guitar playing is tasteless schlock and he doesn't even use pedals anymore.
Jason Powers it is but inside she’s still a beautiful woman even though she doesn’t look good on the outside it’s what you feel on the inside that matters right?
@@kingbopit9318 yes I agree with you but when someone ruins their face with surgeries and drug abuse they are obviously hurting inside. I wish her the best and I hope she can bounce back
@@brianpinion5844 no offence taken. It was a terrible tv show!! My handle is a piss take. You are the first person in my entire RUclips history who actually knows what the power rangers are! Amazing!!

Have been a fan since the beginning. I always had the idea that they didn't have a single bad song, Billy is such a great songwriter. I can say that until adore, after that everything changed and we have what we have now. I was not able to listen to the Atum album, just things are not there anymore. Anyway, we had great moments with the band, and those time will last forever. I'm grateful for that.
Incredible live performance. Stripped down and intimate. only they could’ve pulled this off acoustically. Billy and D’arcy’s voices complimented each other so beautifully. So powerful, fragile and transcendent. This band will always be special.
@@rickjohnson8707 Yes, it's a pity you couldn't SEE it. As usual, whoever makes these videos is an idiot, and whenever she was singing harmony they didn't show her. Same as Joe Satriani videos, whenever he's playing the lead, they cut to the drummer or something stupid. Also, Billy's guitar lead was too soft to hear. Even so, this was a treat to see and hear. 🙂
@@georgial6398 .. Numbskull. I didn't say anything other than they still perform the song this way, meaning acoustic, and that it sounded great when I saw them recently. Eat my shorts.
Ha...I just commented above that this is when I realized he was playing that riff in octaves. I felt silly not hearing it on the record at first, but it was a flashbulb moment for me as a guitarist. I never missed another octave riff from then on.
Camera operator is awesome for that. He plays this a bit different here so it's nice to have visuals for reverse engineering the acoustic solo in particular.
@@RadioactiveSince1990x Yeah but he sucks for not showing Darcy's harmonies, I wanted to see that but he always was on someone else when she was singing.
I would play Siamese Dream while driving my ‘78 Honda CVCC to and from high school in ‘93. This and Bad Religion’s “Suffer” album was in constant rotation.
D'Arcy for years was said to be a so-so bassist, but this is solid proof that she was excellent. The style is on par with Paul McCartney with notes climbing scales all over and I didn't notice a single mistake. It must have been a personality issue, because clearly she was a very reliable bassist.
An amazing opener on Siamese Dream, which I had when it came out. We didn't stop playing it for fucking months because it was such an addictive album.!!
Same. Me and some mates were getting wasted at a holiday house for 2 weeks listening to it everyday. One of those albums that perfectly represents a time in your life.
This is the Smashing Pumpkins that I really know...the original line-up! Best acoustic version of this song. D'arcy doing great backing vocals and tight bass playing!
damn - it takes me back just hearing Darcy's awesome essential harmonies and chorusing when she does the high octave with Billy perfectly. Such a missing element - I never knew they did a kind of "unplugged" performance like this, now I want a whole album. It lets the songs shine for sure
@@joeydanielski962 it's what people who dont understand what autotune is who write this over and over and over...i wish i had a filter that weeded them out.
No lead singer. He had no clue what to do with his non-voice. Tuneless, abrasive, nonsensical phrasing choices. Bleaccch. Find an isolation track of him singing and listen on headphones. 😁
just to think pretty much 2 years to the day after this, Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness was released and changed the 90s and is one of the best selling double albums of all time!
@RockMeAmadeus so because she's not dead and not in prison that somehow tells us she's perfectly fine..? it's common knowledge that she's not in a good place mentally, and i doubt she'll ever make a return. druggies rarely do (from my experience).
@@PinemartenMusic Absolutely. I have a friend who went down that road about 12 years ago. He's still alive and not in jail, but he's never coming back.
he is a really great song writer with a weird voice but it somehow works when they are rocking out an he is screaming his lungs out. Rock music doesn't work if it is too neat and pretty and Billy has just the right amount of weirdness to make a really cool wild sound.
I work out to this every morning. Amazing what clarity you get when increased oxygen is flowing into your brain. We are truly trapped in an existence that screams “Let me out.”
Only this band could do an acoustic version of an a$$-kicking heavy rock song that maintains every bit of the power of the all-electric studio version. I sure do wish D'arcy would magically re-appear. She and Jimmy really layed-down the backbone of this performance, and her backup vocals are essential to this song..
When they came out, I about died when I saw D'Arcy's name printed in the CD liner booklet, because I'd never known anyone with their name so closely spelled like mine. I also absolutely still love the Smashing Pumpkins!
@Mike Russo ...look closer, Billy's teeth are perfect, vampire white. Sexy. And everything else he is,was,will be is perfect. Talent beyond this earth and gorgeous teeth thru which he sings.
Man! Look at Billy jam on the guitar. He is the lead guitarist and the lead singer. Amazing talent. I saw them in Madison at the Sylvia 3 years ago, and the performance was outstanding.
Why I would ever doubt the mighty Smashing Pumpkins is beyond me. I was like their is no way the do this song acoustic but they dot it and not only do they do it but they absolutely Destroy! Those fast sliding octaves are super hard on acoustics but then again they do it perfectly and that’s the guitar part that makes this such a special song!!
This stripped down arrangement gave me a greater appreciation for D'arcy's talent as a bassist because you can really hear her performance here. I had always heard the "Billy played everything in the studio" arguments that sort of dismissed her role in the band.
Look children, this was actual MUSIC TELEVISION. When real individuals made music by their own and smart people got them on TV and the kids cared about things that belonged...
real voices too, not made by computers. real instruments too, played by several talented human hands who managed to work together. ahh, the good ol days, huh? lol do they call you grampa too? im mamaw now HA!
Kids these days are so musically ignorant brainwashed by the garbage that is out there today. Even the rap cannot touch the rap of the 90's excluding eminem.
The fact that I enjoyed this comment reminds me that I am old lol. The irony is that this era of music in the 90's was shit on by the boomers and now we shit on new music. The craziest part is this generation will shit on new music 25 years from now when nostalgic about the music from 2020 lol

100% agree...
i cant maintain interest in them without her in the band, in my mind she is an integral part both sound and looks-wise.
Nah, just a split-tail riding on the back of the big guy, that's all, nothing more... nothing less, Schmuck.
To be accurate: those aren't harmonies... she's singing an octave above him. Anyone can do that.
D'arcy's harmonies on this are so great. Softens Billy's nasaly tone perfectly.
You can really appreciate just how good D'arcy was.
Yes, a pity they cut away from her every time she was singing harmonies, usual video editor idiots! :-)
Darcy was a hole for the boys when they needed a release, and that's it.

Her bass parts were always solid.
It’s a song, not an alot.

I saw the posters but still didn't know their names. When I finally knew the names.....I was kicking myself in the ass every since then!
She's playing the bass so fast it makes it look like her are not even moving. Pretty wicked
Jimmy Chamberlain just ripping it up with a snare, a cymbal and brushes. Really great stuff.
Yeah, he always knows exactly what to do in every moment of the song. Fantastic drummer.
He looks like Jordan Luck from kiwi band The Exponents.
He's right at home. He started as a jazz drummer.
That roll at the end though....epic!
True talent!
❤️Smashing Pumpkins, they take me back to the 90's when everything was so simple and full of magic.
To me, they sound like hope.
You said it all
I clicked before I saw it was new material I miss the 90s life that much especially here in 2020 chaos
Why so simple?...go to school and back home?just great song but not in an acousting version...

There's just complementary timbres between their voices that can't be learned, it's just luck.

This song is tough to play acoustic from a technical standpoint and they do it so cleanly. Rad.
I would have liked to hear what Billy did with the lead but the volume was too low to hear it. How the hell do you copy that lead on an accoustic?
Practice man. But playing/singing is hard in general for most. Typically the lead singer/guitarist switches from lead to rhythm while playing/singing
Thi shows how good he was at delivering in his unique vocal style (very little reverb , chorus or compression, no faking it here and he does it well).
Darcy sounds and looks damn good .
This was on the Vieuphoria VHS which I watched about 1000 times in the summer of 1994.

There is one available where they play all acoustic versions of Siamese Dream. It’s called Mayonnaise Dream.

You know a song is good when it works acoustically, too! That’s the test! And this is amazing!
Very tight. Never knew Darcy sang so much on the verses... its awesome. Big part of their sound.
Why I would ever doubt the mighty Smashing Pumpkins is beyond me. I was like their is no way the do this song acoustic but they dot it and not only do they do it but they absolutely Destroy! Those fast sliding octaves are super hard on acoustics but then again they do it perfectly and that’s the guitar part that makes this such a special song!!
This stripped down arrangement gave me a greater appreciation for D'arcy's talent as a bassist because you can really hear her performance here. I had always heard the "Billy played everything in the studio" arguments that sort of dismissed her role in the band.
Darcy's backing voice is beautiful ...
Yes, pity the cameraman cut away from her every time she sang the harmonies. At least you can hear them.
"and probably never hear it again"
Ohh the internet
D'Arcy is a goddess
20 years later and this song will NEVER get old🤘🎃
try 30 dude...yeah...where does that time go.

Look children, this was actual MUSIC TELEVISION. When real individuals made music by their own and smart people got them on TV and the kids cared about things that belonged...
real voices too, not made by computers. real instruments too, played by several talented human hands who managed to work together. ahh, the good ol days, huh? lol do they call you grampa too? im mamaw now HA!
what a bullshit comment
Oh my god shut up
Kids these days are so musically ignorant brainwashed by the garbage that is out there today. Even the rap cannot touch the rap of the 90's excluding eminem.
The fact that I enjoyed this comment reminds me that I am old lol. The irony is that this era of music in the 90's was shit on by the boomers and now we shit on new music. The craziest part is this generation will shit on new music 25 years from now when nostalgic about the music from 2020 lol
every time I hear this version, it takes me like four replays to move on next song
This is a spiritual expirience...
@Jet If it's Satanic where are all the goats?
@Jet the only satanic thing is his t-shirt
It sucks that D'Arcy and Billy will never play music together again. Makes me sad.
