The Luke De Spa cover of the TFE track The Camera Eye is probably the best version of a Billy corgan song I think I have heard - It is a shame that Corgan didn't strip the tracks back like this. I'd love to hear more of his interpretations of SP/ Corgan songs.

i was afraid this cover was gonna suck since the bass line is my favorite part (missing in the cover)
but the harmonies really won me over.
A+

i'll take another.

I started working on it, then got really busy at work, bought a house and have been remodeling it the past few weeks ... it is still on my "to-do" list whenever I get moved into my new place... but it has totally been on the back burner due to life =)

didn't see my cover song under the cover song tab. guess the cover songs from the 'cover song contest' didn't get moved over to the general cover song playlist. here was mine http://www.thepumpkins.net/content/view/687/161/ + i adore adore singing and slingero with the production

you're crazy if you're telling me you think this is better than the real thing.

lds is a good vocalist but musically this isn't a spot on the original. and there are better sp covers out there, definitely.

Where did I say it was better than the real thing?

Anyway you are such a fanboy that any opinions you have SP related are invalidated

Excuse me. Are you Monte?

Who are you to talk to me?

But in all seriousness. I am Monte's troll. I get to say all the things he can't in real life like

"exposed ankles give me a stirring in my tighty-whities"

There I said it.

anyway, which is the least terrible SP cover album compilation?

Ones I can think of off the top of my head are:

The Gothic Industrial Tribute - Terrible
Shot full of Diamonds - Terrible
Ghost Children Tribute (1 & 2) - Not heard
String Tribute - Not bad, I like SIYL

i dig the string tribute. its a welcome surprise when itunes decides to play it on shuffle

Kahlo
08-06-2008, 06:15 AM
Because I'm a terrible person, I had some of the tracks playing at my wedding. I slowed down the sting SIYL slightly using cubase, as I think the album version is slightly too jaunty.

yeah the original is awesome. why else cover it? i'd actually say it's the best thing bill has done since adore. an acoustic cover is never going to top it

i wouldn't say you topped it, but it's kind of hard to compare the two. it's also one of my favorite post-Adore billy songs, so the fact that you did something with it that i enjoy that much impresses me. it's really the only pumpkins/bc cover that i've ever kept around. mad props, bro.
