Anyone going to this?

It feels like Jimmy has retired. I guess he's happy teaching students, playing a couple of clinics and a couple of shows in Chicago every year. As a fan it is very disappointing.

Let's remember that still seeking the adoration of millions as you approach 50 is a Billy problem, not a Jimmy problem.

People don't strictly perform for validation.

Anyway I just want to see him doing drumming stuff.

Is there any significance/higher meaning to him using his custom bass drum head?

Mister themachinesomehow Drevpile - could you please let us know when you hear from the guy who recorded part of the gig at Andy's/get his files?

And does anyone know more about this upcoming album?


Catalano, Chamberlin and Jones recorded together earlier this year with special guest guitarists Chris Poland and Bill Frisell, an album that should be out in spring 2014.

The track Sona seems to be a Catalano standard of sorts. Don't know if particularly indicative of the rest of the album or not though and hard to tell from the live videos the overall feel of the thing?

Thanks!

Overall feel, huh, I have no idea.

Just got an older Catalano album (Bang!), this guy is really good, so is Percy Jones. I'd buy anything with Chamberlin and those two.

Plus two fucking great guitarists: Bill Frisell AND Megadeth's Chris Poland, I mean, waah, I want that album.

to be fair jimmy is now doing exactly what he started doing in the mid 80s before he was picked up by the pumpkins. not that that's a dig, its just he's doing what he seeminly got into music to do in the first place. people forget he was the most seasoned musician out of all the pumpkins. he has sat in with tons of groups and a more jazz-influenced setting is where he seems to be happy.

tl;dr - the pumpkins are hardly jimmy's first love

Yes, it's true.

We actually have some actual news

1: Chamberlin will playing some more shows with Frank Catalano, in support of their forthcoming album

2: We asked Tyson Meade for an update on his album (feat Jimmy) and he delivered. Intriguingly, the most recent* addition to Belly Corgan's persona non grata list, Bongo-Master and 'studiodog' Kerry Brown, is producing the record;

From the Kickstarter update: "The good news is that I go to LA next week to finish mixing the record with my pal Kerry Brown who just worked on the upcoming Afghan Whigs record. The release date is April 22nd. Jimmy Chamberlain contributed three drum tracks to the record. To say that I got emotional when i heard the tracks he contributed is an understatement. They are GODLIKE! Hail all to Jimmy..."

*no official word that the current hiatus of the Smashing Pumpkins represents the addition to the list we're all hoping for. But here we remain eternally optimistic that it's indicative that Corgan has finally come to his senses and fired Byrne.

On Saturday night Umphrey's McGee concluded a three-night stand at The Riviera Theatre in Chicago with a power-packed finale that included a guest spot from a fellow Chicago musician as original Smashing Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin sat in on a "Cherub Rock" encore.

When the group returned for the encore drummer Kris Myers told the crowd he didn't know the song they were about to play and wanted to see if there were any drummers in the audience. He then pointed out Chamberlin, who was brought out to huge applause to play on "Cherub Rock," a song he recorded with Smashing Pumpkins for Siamese Dream.

I wish the mixing didn't suck so much on the recording. The guitar/vox/piano are completely covering up the drums except in the intro.

JC didn't do the flams going into the guitar solo. That's disappointing.

Frank Catalano says that the shows him and Jimmy played in Chicago earlier this year have been filmed and not only that but him and Jimmy are going back to the studio to record even more new music.

As part of CIMMFEST - Jimmy will be appearing on a panel entitled "Live Streaming: From Consumption to Cache" on Saturday, May 3rd at 1:30 - 3:00PM (murica Time). One presumes the panel itself will be live-streamed somewhere, though I can't see mention of it on the festival page. Anyway, this is in addition to Chamberlin's performance in his new band "Mary Shelly" and their scoring of the classic Battleship Potempkin.

Petty Fest at Metro 4/23/14: A Benefit Show For Sweet Relief, Sponsored By Jameson

The night was full of really big highlights, but my favorites were as follows: Jimmy Chamberlin of Smashing Pumpkins came out to play drums while Cory Chisel sang “It’s Good To Be King.” The song also featured an awesome guitar solo by Robert Ellis that I was not expecting at all.

Mary Shelley ready to rock ‘Potemkin’ score at CIMMFest

In July of 1998, the late film critic Roger Ebert sat outdoors in Three Oaks, Mich., and watched a film he’d seen many times before, “Battleship Potemkin,” projected on a massive screen.

Shortly thereafter, he expressed renewed admiration for director Sergei Eisenstein’s silent Russian revolutionary classic in one of his “Great Movie” reviews.

But it wasn’t merely the bucolic setting — a balmy and starlit summer night — that led to Ebert’s reassessment of the 1925 propagandistic feature, where fed-up sailors mutiny against their superiors and soldiers clash violently with citizens yearning to live free from oppressive Tsarist rule. It was also the live musical score, performed by the southwestern Michigan rock band Concrete.

The trio, Ebert wrote, “underlined and reinforced Eisenstein’s approach with an insistent, rhythmic, repetitive score, using keyboards, half-heard snatches of speech, cries and choral passages, percussion, martial airs and found sounds. It was an aggressive, insistent approach, played loud, by musicians who saw themselves as Eisenstein’s collaborators, not his meek accompanists.”

It made Ebert better realize “why this movie was long considered dangerous.”

The Chicago rockers Mary Shelley would surely be pleased by a similar response from audience members when they play their own “Battleship Potemkin” soundtrack on May 2 at 1st Ward, during the Chicago International Movies & Music Festival (CIMMFest), which takes place May 1 through 4 at venues in Wicker Park, Bucktown, Logan Square and the West Loop.

In decades past, silent films typically were accompanied by movie house orchestras or pre-existing pieces of music. In the case of “Potemkin,” Eisenstein hoped it would be scored anew every couple of decades to help maintain its relevance.

In the past two decades there have been several reimagined scores, such as the one Ebert heard in Michigan, and a 2004 take by British pop group the Pet Shop Boys, who performed their techno-infused composition during a screening in London’s Trafalgar Square.

Within the framework of these new interpretations, there is often room to riff.

“The emotional dynamic is mostly mapped out,” says Mary Shelley bassist Matt Ulery, who composes for and plays with the band Matt Ulery’s Loom. “But improvising is a must. It makes sense.”

Mary Shelley drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, formerly of Smashing Pumpkins, thinks it’s crucial, too.

“Even in classical music these days and in things that have been scored, there’s a real rigidity in the perception of it,” says Chamberlin, who regards “Potemkin” as an exploration of extreme oppression and humanity’s response to it rather than simply a piece of political propaganda. “When these things [soundtracks to silent movie screenings] were being performed live, they were kind of living, breathing organisms that lived and flowed with the emotional situations or the culture of the time. So we really want to try to capture a bit of that element… to grab bits and pieces of what’s happening around us and make that part of the music. And I think in doing that, it makes things a little bit more relevant.”

Though they remain unsure about how exactly it will all come together at the festival, each band member already has a good idea of themes they’ll explore throughout the 75-minute presentation. Above all, Ulery says, it’s a matter of “getting the right emotions that go with the various parts of the movie.”

The most famous portion — a massacre of civilians on an expanse of outdoor stairs (the “Odessa Steps” in Odessa, Ukraine) — is sure to be among the most stirring portions from a musical standpoint as well as a visual one.

“There’s a real density to the subject matter that really lends itself to a real dynamic musical presentation, which I think falls really nicely into all of our musical sweet spots,” Chamberlin says. “So I don’t really look at is as an exploration in rock. More like an exploration in dynamics — kind of heaviness that really penetrates what the subject matter is of the movie. Although there are rock elements in it, I think it is more score-based with more dense music as opposed to rock. It’s not heavy just for the sake of being heavy. It’s heavy because it’s tethered to subject matter that’s very heavy.”

And if the overall experience provokes thought or spurs discussion about current events (civil unrest in Ukraine, for instance) as much as it entertains, Mary Shelley guitarist Scott Lucas (of Local H) says, that’s a bonus.

“There’s no harm or foul in getting people to think of political recidivism in the context of art exploration. Art’s job, in and of itself, is to get people thinking outside the box.”

That looks interesting. I wouldn't mind hearing that. I've heard a few other silent 1920s films redone by contemporary bands and they've turned out really well. The drums are usually the best part, too.

JC has a good feeling for visuals, he could make some great film scores imo.

lol. wow jimmy how eloquent.

how it probably went down

"so jimmy many people have said that potemkin is an exploration of extreme opppression and humanity's response to it rather than simply a piece of propaganda would you agree to this?"

"uh sure"

Mary Shelley (former Smashing Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, Matt Ulery on bass and Scott Lucas of Local H on guitar) continued that trend Friday night at 1st Ward, albeit in a slightly more rocking fashion, as a screening of classic silent film Battleship Potemkin was projected behind them. For seventy-five minutes, the band never stopped, matching the emotional impact of the film with music that was at times psychedelic and other times punk. While Chamberlin's propulsive fills were a highlight of the live score, it was the equally intense guitar playing of Lucas that fueled Neil Young's "Like a Hurricane" for nearly ten minutes during the encore.

And the stuff on Gish in general. It has like a tribal sound to it or something.

They're really sort of raw and fill-y.

Tristessa is insane - the fast tom riff throughout and that insane roll before 'soul take soul...'

Yeah, I can't headbang hard enough to Jimmy's drumming on that track.

The first verse has that bone crushingly heavy "stop and go" mechanic going on or something. (I seriously don't know how to describe drums or beats). Like that pause between that next heavy drum blast is like being held up in space and then slammed down onto Earth.

Jimmy's hi-hat answer to "suck you" in "Set the Ray to Jerry".

very promising.

It's really hard to keep you're arms that huge if you've got a serious H problem. It really saps your workout motivation. Jimmy has some pipes.even in '94 when he was all out on H pretty much all the time, his arms were still buff. but playing drums for several hours each day added a lot to it. believe me, it really does tire out your arms.

Not really your biceps, though. More like your wrists and hands, especially given Jimmy's 'laid back' style, especially sitting down at a drum kit.

It does really hurt there when you're standing up and playing marching drums.

Sounds like the new ep is going to be a lot more free form improvisation.. Reminds me a bit of John zorn. Excited!

Sounds light years better than anything SP related since Machina

Maybe Billy was toxic to Jimmy. The irony huh, Corgs?

well duh

Jimmy still must have found some time to lift weights even when he was using. I wonder if he preferred to fix before or after his work out.

well both obv

Technically there was at least one workout where he only did heroin before. Unless he stopped working out before quitting heroin.

And depending on when his heroin usage started and when he started working out, he might have only done it after the workout, technically, at some point

i noticed that since jimmy always got to choose the tempo to play "geek u.s.a." at, he would often start the song out ridiculously fast....that song is hard as fuck to play on drums even when just playing along to the studio version. he would play it a lot faster live. absolutely ridiculous to watch that guy move. he has 8 arms. :cool:

If you watch the Pinkpop 94 version, he starts out crazy fast, then has to slow way down during the 'siamese twins' part so he can play the bridge properly.

It's so much fun to play on drums once you get it down

I just received a reply from ropeadope.
They're also going to release the Love Supreme Collective EP on CD and on all formats via bandcamp.
That's great. I wouldn't have liked to purchase lossy files (Itunes).

yeah that is the one that came to mind when i saw this thread, actually! absolutely ridiculous! yeah geek u.s.a. is one of my favorite songs to play on drums. hummer is another.....i wish i could play "Jellybelly" but i have a feeling that is in the exclusive domain of Jimmy. :banging:

I was at both martyrs' gigs; they were fun enough...and a nice change of pace compared to the music I usually go out and see.

I prefer JCC over FC + JC, but i'm glad they're putting out some studio tracks together. they're both awesome jazz musicians and masters at their instruments. in fact, i'm not sure who is more articulate and precise at their instrument, out of the two. its pretty fucking close.

Great interview from 2005 >>>

SAVING GRACE INTERVIEW WITH JIMMY CHAMBERLIN, FEBRUARY 2005

After the demise of the short lived Zwan, Jimmy Chamberlin was at a crossroads in his professional life. But it was with some friendly nudging by Billy Corgan, his former bandmate in Smashing Pumpkins and Zwan, that steered him towards what would ultimately become the Jimmy Chamberlin Complex.

"When I was doing these clinics, Billy called me up and said, 'You know, you should really look into doing your solo record now.' My take on it was, does anybody really want to put out a self-indulgent drum record?" His question was answered quickly when Merck Mercuriadis, CEO of Sanctuary Records, called him up out of the blue to declare his wholehearted support of anything Chamberlin was interested in doing. Within days, he was in New York signing an album deal without any idea of what he was going to do.

The first person Chamberlin contacted after the signing was Billy Mohler, a former member of the Thelonius Monk Institute and the pop-rock band The Calling. The two had met two years earlier when Mohler auditioned for Zwan. Even though Mohler didn't get that gig, the two stayed in touch and became friends. "I basically said, 'I got this crazy record deal, what are you doing, let's put together a band and make some cool music.'"

It wasn't long into the writing of the album that Chamberlin faced a task he had never faced before: writing lyrics. "The lyrics came out of necessity. When we started writing the record, we started in a more fusion environment and that got boring really quick and that wasn't what we were about on an organic level. At first it was a bit daunting, but once I started to do it, the more I got into it, the more I started enjoying it and being able to say things lyrically that I would normally have to say musically. I've always seen my drumming as lyrical anyway. Certainly in a lyrical supporting role with Corgan and company that I've worked with, so it wasn't that big of a stretch for me."

Originally, Corgan was supposed to lay down guitar tracks on the record, but when he couldn't take time out from work on his own solo record, Mohler suggested Sean Woolstenhulme, a young, unknown, and unconventional guitarist. "Literally the first note he played I said he was in. He's such a big part of the sound. To have somebody at twenty-two (Woolstenhulme is now twenty-three) to come in and play with that kind of maturity and that kind of texture…the guy's a prodigy, he's an amazing individual. All he wants to do is practice and that's all he does, all day long. That's what it takes if you want to change the face of music. You've gotta be committed to it. We had a saying in the Pumpkins, 'It's the extra 10 percent work you do that makes it 100 percent better than everything else.' And that's totally true of anything you do," Chamberlin said.

Life Begins Again boasts an intriguing variety of guest appearances that add a richness to the album's overall aesthetic. From Rob Dickinson of Catherine Wheel, who sings on two of the album's tracks ("It was just the fates that brought us together. He's another guy that's an amazing singer."), to, of course, Billy Corgan, who adds his distinctive vocals to "Lokicat," a song that features Chamberlin's brother Paul, who is also a drummer.

"Yeah, my brother's a great drummer, and was certainly a source of inspiration for me growing up. My brother was always in bands and on the road when I was a kid and he was my inspiration. He never made it with a big band, in fact he never made a record. Here he is fifty-something years old. My brother and I had a real love-hate relationship with my success. There was some bitterness there that I didn't understand until recently, but I told him that if I ever did a record I wanted him to play on it. I always heard the two drum part for the "Lokicat" song. Mohler and I wrote that song the day that Elvin Jones died. We were doing this tribal drum thing underneath this keyboard thing that Mohler had written. And I thought that if I could play that part as the percussion part and get my brother to sync this straight beat underneath it, it might be something cool."

Cool is an understatement. What "Lokicat," in fact does, is to finally put to rest the snide, derisive remarks that persisted over whether or not Chamberlin's presence on the Smashing Pumpkins' Adore would have somehow derailed that album's languid beauty. The song has the same sort of ethereal, ambient sound that was present on Adore. Overall, Life Begins Again features drumming by Chamberlin that is more soulful, gentler than in his days with the Pumpkins, but with a suppleness that carries over from the old days.

But perhaps the most stunning guest appearance comes in the form of a singer who is about as far removed from the rock realm Chamberlin came of age in as you can get.

To hear Bill Medley's sonorous voice over "Lullabye To Children," ("It was the one song I was really struggling with the lyrics for. Mohler and his fiance Becca came in with these beautiful lullaby lyrics to my daughter.") is creepy in the best sense of the word. Goosebumps and chills are destined to run down the listener's arms and spine as this track unfolds. "People just kept coming back to me going, 'That Medley tune, that Medley tune.' And every time I would play it for Dickinson he would say, 'You gotta turn the vocal up. You gotta really juice the vocal, cause I gotta hear every piece of spit in his voice.'" The song may not mean much to his daughter now at age two he says, "but when she's 15 or 16 she's gonna really get a kick out of it. And then maybe play it for her daughter. And maybe it's a thing that the Chamberlins play for their daughters for centuries. Stuff like that you can't think too much about, you just have to go with it."

Even though he's older now and the days of the Smashing Pumpkins are well behind him, his commitment to music has not changed. "Through the dark days in the mid-'90s, I think it was music that saved me. When you can look back at that and realize why you're here and realize, 'Okay, I'm alive because God wants to hear more music, or my mother does,' or whatever you want to call the energy force that's ruling around you. You start to look at it with a deeper respect and I think that deeper respect for what you do builds more self-respect. That period in my life, people see it as, 'Oh he was a drug addict and he messed up.' Nobody writes about the fact that I was in Australia when my father died and I felt like a piece of shit for not being there when he passed away. No one writes about the emotional things you go through. People just expect you to show up, be a cartoon character of yourself, take your money and go home. But don't screw up to the point where you're gonna be out of the picture. But back then the thing that saved me was the music, and it's certainly the music that saves me now. The music, my family and my friends and everybody around me. If you put the right things out there the right things will happen."

Being an elder statesmen of rock brings about great joy in Chamberlin as well. "I feel really good in the teacher role. When I'm at home I practice everyday. I take my craft very seriously. I can't take days off and play like I did last night. Maybe some people can, but I can't." However, he does not have delusions on his new band's place in the musical world. "Is the Complex going to change the face of music? I doubt it. But if it can help it along a little bit, that's great. When I go on the website and I see twelve year-old musicians writing in, going 'If the Complex is all about listening to Thelonius Monk and Charles Mingus, then I'm going to check out those records.' If you can get a twelve year-old kid to go listen to Thelonius Monk, what more do you want? Do you want a big pile of cash, too? That's a home run for me. I was fortunate when I was growing up to go see the Oscar Peterson Trio, and Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass, and have those people make a huge dent in my life. Just their commitment to music, those guys weren't making any money. I used to go see Oscar Peterson at the Auditorium, there'd be like 500 people."

Chamberlin credits his family for his rich musical background and the exposure to jazz at an early age. "My dad was a clarinet player, so the first music I was exposed to as a kid was Duke Ellington and Count Basie and Sonny Greer, Gene Krupa, Dave Tough, those kind of big band/swing drummers. And I had five older brothers and sisters as well, so growing up in the '70s I had constant exposure to Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Deep Purple, Rush and of course my sisters were into Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan, and Mose Allison. I think the way I play comes from that and that I took a little bit from everything I was listening to and made it my own. But if you ask me where my drumming lays, I think that it's somewhere between Elvin Jones and Mitch Mitchell, or Tony Williams and John Bonham, something like that. I can't really put my finger on where I turned a corner or where I started making it my own. Probably the most prophetic thing I heard from a drummer was when Buddy Rich said, 'The best musicians are thieves that never get caught.' That's something I really took to heart. And taking little bits here and there, taking a Keith Moon thing that you really like and work into an Elvin Jones thing. Certainly, being a drummer like that and being able to explore music in the Pumpkins, especially with Billy who is such a dynamic songwriter, and to be able to play on pieces like "To Forgive" and "Galapogos" and "Tonight, Tonight" and those types of songs where a standard drum approach isn't going to float the song. You know you need to get into something a little more orchestral, or you need to grab some brushes, you need to support the song in a different way certainly helped. Had I joined a straight rock band, I'm sure my drumming would be a little bit different right now. But I think that growing up musically with him and him growing up musically with me dictated the way we play now. Last night Billy came to me and said, 'Wow, I recognize a lot of the stuff you're doing, but there's a whole other side of you that I never really saw in the Pumpkins." He came to me and said "I feel like you've been dating somebody else.' Chamberlin lets out a series of hearty laughs.

"The thing I try to do the most is to play in terms of the song and play in terms of what I'm hearing. When people say 'Oh you've got a jazz background…', it's not like I've spent years playing trio jazz or went on tour with McCoy Tyner or something like that. I think that the jazzy approach that I have is based on the way that I hear music and in the way I play a supporting role to the other people in the band. And along with doing what I'm doing, I'm always listening to what's going on around me and trying to be as supportive as I can. And certainly the Complex lends itself to this little bit more of a fluttering, syncopated, more of a powerhouse, dynamic drumming than the Pumpkins or Zwan did. I think you can still tell it's me, it's just a different side of me, or maybe a little more of me, or a little less of me at times."

It's like what Billy (Corgan) said to me last night," 'The thing that supercedes all the technical proficiency you guys are operating under is just the sheer honesty of the music. There's this cloud of joy hanging over everything you guys are doing. And even though there's this crazy amount of dexterous, crazy rock, it never comes off as 'Hey, check me out!' or 'Look at how fast I can play!" I think for me it's just being able to do something that's honest. It certainly restores my faith in humanity when I see radio stations picking this up and playing it and sitting here and doing interviews like this, because to be completely honest, when I went in to do this thing I wasn't expecting anything. I was expecting to do an art record and I figured a bunch of drummers would buy it and that would be it."

But the response has come from a lot more people than just "a bunch of drummers" for Life Begins Again. Chamberlin was given a royal showcase in a recent Chicago Tribune Arts & Entertainment cover story by Greg Kot, and the early reviews (including here at St@tic), have been quite favorable.

"People are not afraid to put their two cents in about something like this, because there's nothing they have to make up. This record doesn't pretend to be anything it's not. It is what it is. It doesn't come with any gilded wrapper or any preconceived notions of 'here's the hit and I don't really care if you listen to the other songs.' It's one complete piece of art."

And this piece of art will not sit on the shelf alone. Plans are already in the work for another offspring of the Jimmy Chamberlin Complex.

"We're already writing new songs for the next record. We didn't just sign a one-record deal. We signed a multiple record deal. What I see for the band by the end of this year is the Complex live at the Montreux Jazz Festival. I want my guys to be comfortable. I'm certainly not in this for the money, but I'd really like to see my guys make some money off of this stuff. They're young musicians and they deserve a break. They're putting their asses on the line. I just hope that we go on to be a great band, because we definitely have the makings of it. I think that the four of us are a force to be reckoned with. The next record, I think we'll take it even further. We'll get even more into the psychedelic creepy stuff. Get a little more towards Radiohead meets Duke Ellington. That's really what I hear in my head. A thousand harps and multiple drum kits. Just big. I just want people to think when they see the Complex that it's going to be good. Just like I did with the Pumpkins."

By opening himself up to positive energy and by surrounding himself with the love and faith of friends, band mates, fans, and family, Jimmy Chamberlin has struck karmic gold. Coming off of the precipice of death itself seems to have changed him spiritually, personally, and especially musically over the years. It's this overwhelming sense of joie de vivre that emanates from Chamberlin that makes Life Begins Again so special. It would be wonderful if more music came from such an enchanting place as this.

Interrupting the Ravinia news for a JC interview where he talks about being a CEO, enjoying EDM music, and the new movement. It's very interesting, and it's pretty insightful as to what JC has been doing the past few years. Remember that Rolling Stone interview back in 2010? This interview, while not mentioning the Rolling Stone interview, does sort of elaborate on Chamberlin's comments while offering his commentary on the music industry nowadays.

Yep, James used Kerry on several tracks, making them solo tracks before his first proper solo album. Which is why I couldn't wait for it to be out when it was announced!

and it's actually nice to watch it, neat camera angle for the drums

Are the times central time?

Stream has been loading for a solid 5 minutes

that's disappointing

Frank is just the kindest guy - moving around onstage to give the cameras a better view of JC. that's rare

It's rare to hear Jimmy play straight Jazz. Even the Complex and stuff with Gannin Arnold was more fusion with pretty straight rock patterns. This show is really amazing and highlights what a versatile musician Jimmy is.

It's well established that Jimmy has a jazz background, but I wonder if this is something he's really focused on since leaving the Pumpkins. I feel like his playing has improved quite a bit in the last ~5 years, and this would explain a lot.

It never looks like he's playing a drum part per se, but rather responding to what the other musicians are doing as it's happening. It's so cool to watch

They archived the two sets...enjoy >>>

he almost ended that solo with a straight amen break!

I came across the concert set archives now and I am Epiphany. The show was amazing in person...absolute raw energy and it was the best thing that I had ever seen. I met Frank before and after the show and he was the most genuine person...kind to everyone and very sweet. Jimmy was the exact same way. Very humble, would sign anything, and is absolutely amazing. I have pictures of stuff he signed and me and him together, and one of me and Frank. Jimmy nailed every solo and still has it in him. He's the best drummer I have seen grace the drums. Just...amazing people.

No problem! :) The concert was great. :)

Very nice. Must have been amazing to see it person.

Set 1:

Solo: 15:28 - 16:22

Solo: 57:42

so, is that love supreme collective available on CD now?
sounds to me like it's got the coltrane spirit, with a contemporary feel.

Does anyone know how to download videos from livestream?

Arrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! FUCK. YES. So fucking brutal. They were really peaking as a live act in the Machina era. Notice the little winks and smiles between BC and JC? That's what being an SP fan is about; the non-verbal, telepathic relationship between a raging, feeling guitarist/lyricist and one of the best drummers to ever walk the earth.

^yeah man. that fuck you was straight-up satanic. love jimmy's little lol towards the camera.


i'm also pretty into the Solo HD video on youtube (i have the highest rated comment, heh) that one's interesting to me for the fact that its pretty much all tom work, but there's that one dirty hi hat slurp at 00:15 which i can't scrub out of my mind. its absolutely disgusting in the best possible way.

also, what is jimmy's most underrated drum track overall? in my opinion, it has to be Owed to Darryl, off the Complex album. the main beat is just genius and i've jammed that fucker for hours on my kit.

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/FQAPsk2zwOw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

AN ABSOLUTE FUCKING MONSTER

^ This is the kind of stuff that I wonder whether or not Billy Corgan noticed. Obviously there's no question that Bill knows Jimmy is amazing. But I wonder how many of these little nuances slipped through the cracks.

Oh yeah. He noticed. He knows he was next to unstoppable with Jimmy. Jimmy is incredibly musical, but he is also flawless from a technical perspective. I've seen some studio stuff where Billy is actually coaching him through fills - not teaching him, but I want it like this or that. Jimmy is such a machine that he could do anything Billy requested on-demand, over and over and in perfect time - and Billy knows that.

Mary Star of the Sea is chock full of drum goodness. The song "MSotS" itself is peppered with smashy-smashy, but Jimmy just says fuck it and starts droppin' bombs from here out: http://youtu.be/6cQ66dYE4WY?t=6m20s

Just about every Sp song with Jimmy is a drum clinic, but I felt "Cash Car Star" was just showing off ... in a good way. One of the only guys with enough virtuosity and musicality that he can go apeshit without running over the song. He actually makes them better.

It was very much a part of the culture to be able to play.

If you had to market your music, it wasn't good enough

The steady rhythm, the flourishes, and subliminal badassery of his performance here of Cupid de Locke makes the song better than it ever could have been otherwise.

Probably the whole of Adore.

jimmy pwns on the machinas. I just listened to aoi and iotm. fucking drums PROPELL the tunes. goddamn goddamn!

He kicks ass on Machina. If the production and song choice was a bit better it'd be at SD/MCIS levels

You could tell he was practicing a ton before recording

This is fantastic and I'm only 10 minutes in.

Thanks for that, it really is great so far.

Great interview. I like how at 8:50 the interviewer tries to get Jimmy to agree with his opinion that bands today don't have as much talent, and Jimmy just says positive things and says "he knows when to keep his mouth shut". If only Billy had that ability. If this was a B0lls interview he would have already gone into a 5 minute tangent about 'kids' today.

"Billy had all these great songs in his pocket...Today, Cherub Rock, Disarm, Mayonaise..."

"1979! That's one of my favorites"

Did you see what Jimmy did there at 0:08 ? He played the crash and the snare on the '4 with his left hand almost at the same time by pulling back his arm super fast (it's so fast that it sounds like he plays the crash and the snare at the same time). I've never seen him do that.

what're you wearing ;)

fuck!!!!!!!!!!

anyway, i've actually got that whole episode of SNL, quite a throwback watchin it entirely, when the newest terentino films were reservoir dogs & pulp fiction, + norm was still on the show

pretty good episode all around, actually

the performance of bullet from that one actually rivals even that french thing in terms of sheer live rage from b0ll the d0ll

Woah, that was weird. I've never seen that.

I don't think he hit the snare at all, just pounded the crash hard enough so that it sounded big enough to take its place. Usually he moves his right hand to the snare when hitting that crash on 2/4

Nope, you can clearly hear the snare on the '4 and you can clearly see him hit it with his left hand.

Careful guys, one of you must have set off chewliana's "vaguely sexist remark" alarm.

This SBD is mixed like shit but it was worth it just to hear in such detail the notes JC's getting out of his snare at 39:36

thats me! The fact that he sent a second response the next day says a lot about him. He didn't just throw out an answer and move on- he made sure he got it right. He later sent me a couple DM's further correcting himself admitting he had touble counting it without playing it. He worked on it during soundcheck by himself.

What a dude.
