In the November 13th issue.

The last sentence reads, "Both the boys in the pit and the kids with plastic guitars should follow, thrilled that the hit-single part of Corgan's brain is still functioning."

Zeitgeist definitely got four stars when it came out, so don't worry.

Damn. RS is drinking the kool-aid.

I wonder what they think about songs that are actually better (ARB, Song for son)

holy shit Geek, your already at 1400 posts?

and if anything this song is mediocre at best, so it gets my rating of 2 stars.

and also its more MCIS bassline, because its from Pastachio medley

No, As Rome Burns would be a good song for radio.

People say that LMGTWTY would be a huge hit, I just don't really see it.

GLOW is average at best. Probably their weakest single since 2000, to be honest.

As Rome Burns, now that's some fucking awesome shit. That should be their next single and they should be shoving it in the face of every radio station and significant online music store out there. Just when I was starting to have some doubt about upcoming singles, he pulls that one out. Wow. The band sounds like an uncontrollable monster.

they gave the new G N R 4 stars too, and from what I have heard its going to be a stinking pile of shit

Actually, given that all of GnR's output has been a stinking pile of shit, it will probably be average.

Fuck the new GNR album. I actually cared about it the first ten times it was supposed to come out.

As Rome Burns would be an amazing single...


...as long as there were good studio vocals. I could see the studio version sounding cringe-worthy if he constrained his vocals too much. He needs to just let loose, like on Bullet, and scream some of those parts.


And, it'd have to start with the trumpet into.

Stand Inside Your Love?

Also, I think he wanted Jellybelly to be the first MCIS single, but the record company or someone with higher power wanted to release BWBW instead. They won.

Although, they REALLY wanted them to release Today before Cherub Rock, but that didn't happen. :)

Will it make the top ten? Apparently after 5 weeks, it hasn't reached higher than #11 on Billboard's Hot Modern Rock chart:

it's up from 12 at least.

It's not too bad considering the rest of their singles. The Smashing Pumpkins discography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Smashing_Pumpkins_discography#Singles)

This may be a dumb question, but is G.L.O.W. a good song for Guitar Hero? Having never played the game, I guess I was expecting the songs on there to have, you know, solos. And what is the player doing during the guitarless sections, like the intro?

well the thing is the new guitar hero comes with drums. so. the drummer is drumming.

You'd think that I, as an Xbox owner and terrible guitar player, might be at least casually interested enough to know what this newfangled "Guitar Hero" is all about. Anyway, thanks for that. So, solos are not really a big thing in the game?

It's probably more exciting than playing the intro of Cherub Rock on GH. No, it doesn't have a solo, but it is a very ascending/descinding styled song. I think it fits the GH peripheral nicely. It doesn't really need a solo with it.

it's not bad, but it seems like it is the bullet with butterfly wings to make the ciritics shut up for a couple days. he even pulled out a mcis era riff for it. doesn't seem like the stuff he actually wants to be writing right now.
