With so much sadness lately, I thought this might be fun. What are some SP songs, concerts, interviews that still make you feel something?

personally, I love when the crowd starts singing along to Disarm @ Pinkpop, despite not knowing the rhythm of the live version. They come in early and Billy giggles as they join in in time

Last week, after a few drinks I found myself watching the Lost 94 Tapes from the Vieuphoria dvd, full blast, on a big screen for the first time in years. And holy shit, Soma>Hummer>Porcelina instrumental>Silverfuck... Combined with Eric Remschneider and the psychedelic, almost surreal superimposition visuals of the members playing on top of each other made for quite an experience.

It literally is the opposite of Oceania live.

dang, just imagine writing a confessional song like disarm and watching 50,000 people singing along to your song, fucking peak experiences man. no wonder billy got fucked up, how many people can come out of that humble, after seeing that shit 100s of times.

I'm drunk right now but damn that is such a good song for real

The 2007 version of Tonight, Tonight. Saw it live and it just had a euphoric feel to it.

The performance of Rocket of 8-14-93 (on the dvd that came with the SD reissue) is especially euphoric

F i love rocket. Such a strange, creative arrangement, with the buzzing drone of the verse ‘peggio juxtapose with those grinding pre-choruses and choruses and post-choruses, the serpentine lead hooks biting, stinging, tangling round your brain.

Add to that a top notch jimmy part sorta stuttering in the verse, just a bit to keep u from fading, then whompa pom! send u into the stratosphere for the exciting parts

Plus when bill go “AH SHALL B FREY”

misread title as monuments.

-The very beginning of Tonight Tonight once the strings kick in

-The static leading into the opening shredding of Bodies

-The first and last notes of Soma as well as the crescendo

-All of the 'alternate' GATGC

- I - just - want - to beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ME

Too many moments to count

the guitars in wbftt. the guitars in here is no why. the guitars in speed kills.

THE GUITARS!!! FUCK

Montes that give you goosebumps

breathing under water... [dru doo doo doo...] and living under glass

that guitar part

also, to steal from ilikeplanets from the last thread like this:

IN MY MIND I'M EVERYONE

to sheila... the opening picking... basically all the banjo picking

and the bridge 'lately I just can't seem to believe...'

his singing on this song is sublime all the way through

definitely an underrated song

^agreed, such a beautiful track

if only the rest of adore was in a similar style

a summer storm graces all of me....

to sheila just might be tsp's best.

So cry these tears, we'll cry as all
We've held so long to fall apart
As the curtain falls, we bid you all goodnight

- Outro of Cinder
- Untitled guitar solo
- Starla guitar solo 1994-02-25
- Here is No Why (just the song in general)

The “if you’re giving in” part coming in over the end of the solo in Here Is No Why

The Speed Kills jam from Pittsburgh 1999

Been looking for some absolutely amazing live version of Disarm from the SD-era that was posted on here forever ago. It captured the song at its purest and made me feel like I was hearing it for the first time all over again, which is nearly impossible for most of their hits. Wish I had more deets on what it was.

The middle to end quiet part of Hummer, takes my breath away every time. So delicate, so dreamy, basically THAT is Smashing Pumpkins right there.

First loud chorus of Rhinoceros.

When the echo on the vocals kicks in after the "fallen kite" line in Obscured, and the e-bow at the end.

Quiet outro of Soma.

I'm gonna say it, the intro to Quasar. And the solo after the chorus line in My Love Is Winter.

First chorus of Stand Inside Your Love.

The little middle duo guitar part in Galapagos.

The breakdown in Blue.

The quiet middle part of Geek USA.

All of Whir.

The Shame piano/guitar solo from 12-2-00 Metro.

Porcelina from 11-29-00 , the United center show

take a day
plant some trees
may they shade you from me
may your children play beneath

I'm nothing but a body
In my mind

Butterflies don't fly
Broken hearts don't cry no no
How I've loved your body, baby
How I've loved your sapphires and rubies
Butterflies don't make it in movies

I think I've posted 5 threads about that live Ruby outro but fuck it gets me every time

^^^ Yeah dude. the way they switch solos and then the main riff comes back in all heavy and shit. i love porcelina and but live ruby is the best mcis era epic NO DOUBT.

never heard of it but it sounds interesting; will give it a try

"Ruby" was the song that made me a fan of the band,
"Solara" is the song that made them a fun of a band.

Also, how great is that end solo of Untitled. Such an underrated song

never heard of it but it sounds interesting; will give it a try

get a lode of this guy

The fake out in the first chorus of SIYL where it initially hits with a huge guitary wash, then when it gets to "you're all that I..... dream!" it REALLY kicks in across the frequencies - amazing moment, sounds incredible

I think the "I love you/as you love me/na na na etc." part is my favorite section of MCIS

The fake out in the first chorus of SIYL where it initially hits with a huge guitary wash, then when it gets to "you're all that I..... dream!" it REALLY kicks in across the frequencies - amazing moment, sounds incredible

I love this part of the song. It’s a bit of songwriting brilliance.

you guys with the "fake out" and "brilliance" re: SIYL... it's called a PRE-CHORUS and is very common lol

and yeah it is great

"Beautful" is my favorite Smashing Pumpkins song. Good call!

Choosing one moment from each album:

Gish: She knows through the end of the song in "Rhinoceros."

Siamese Dream: Sort of an extended moment, but the frantic ending of "Silverfuck," into "Sweet, Sweet," and ending with "Luna." As great as other individual songs on Siamese Dream are, this stretch really shows everything the band could do when it fired on all cylinders.

Mellon Collie Disc 1: "Galapagos" "

too late to turn back now, i'm running out of sound
and i am changing, changing
and if we died right now, this fool you love somehow
is here with you

Mellon Collie Disc 2: (Besides "Beautiful")

The last minute or so of "Bodies" with the guitars in full phase and Billy screaming "love is suicide" so rough it sounds like his voice will give out.

Adore: The "barbershop quartet" breakdown in "Behold! The Nightmare." Most people point "Medellia of the Gray Skies," but this is my favorite collaboration between Billy and the Flemion brothers.

all you have to do is run away
and steal yourself from me
become mystery to gaze into
you're so cruel in all you do
but still I believe, I believe
you

Machina: My initial gut instincts were "I blow the dust of my guitaaars" from "I of the Mourning" or "desolation yes hesitation no" from "Age of Innocence," but it's hard to argue with "This Time:" as the curtain falls, we bid you all goodnight."

Machina II: "Home"

"Love is everything I want"

Zeitgeist: Outro guitar solo for "Pomp and Circumstances."

Teargarden: Guitar solo for "A Song for a Son."

Inkless: End of "Wildflower" when the ebows kick in.

Monuments to an Elegy: Haven't listened to it since 2015.

Take a day
Plant some trees
May they shade you
From me
May your children play beneath

Are you just liiiiiike meeeee
And are you just like meeee ...
AND are YOU JUSTE LIKE ME
and are you just like me
houuuuuuu yeahh houuuu

real love
real love
we never listen

real love will listen

The sun shines, but I don't

The new deafheaven album gives me goosebumps

I got a goosebump when a goose bit my bottom and now my bottom’s big!

The fake out in the first chorus of SIYL where it initially hits with a huge guitary wash, then when it gets to "you're all that I..... dream!" it REALLY kicks in across the frequencies - amazing moment, sounds incredible

YES. Turn it up on headphones for even greater results.

Also in IOTM when the heavy guitars kick in during the "real" chorus (as my... RADIO PLAYS MY FAVORITE SONG)

The build up in Quiet into when Billy yells then it drops into the solo. That’s the moment that got me into the band back in 93.
The solo in The Groover (pastichio version)
All the solos in Plume
Hummer - “It’s alright honey, it’s alright yeah!” - then gets heavier on that E and Jimmy’s fill, then the guitar leads
The second chord in the Mayonaise chord progression after it kicks in.
The end of Hello Kitty Kat
When the chorus in Stand Inside Your Love changes to the G chord

Just to name a few.

i have related this several times but i once had the weirdest and most intense deja vu ever. it was the first time i listened to SIYL. is was so weird. once i got to the outro (for the last time, i'm telling you how much i need and bleed...) it was as if i had heard it before. i anticipated every word, every note. it blew my mind.

and this was before drugs.

The solo in The Groover (pastichio version)

Fuck yes

do you think you could stop using foul language on the sabbath day?

"Beautful" is my favorite Smashing Pumpkins song. Good call!

Good cup.

All of Here Is No Why

Jesus how does anybody even write a solo like that

How the bass on Galapagos follows the vocal melody.

Rockets climax
Yeeaaaaaah, I need something new

Rockets climax
Yeeaaaaaah, I need something new

:erm:

Yeah......uh

That song is called Hummer, actually

DUMBASS

IMBECILE SWINE

he also says "yeah, I want something new" not "yeah, I need something new"

double fail, wrong song, wrong lyric.

:erm:

Yeah......uh

That song is called Hummer, actually

DUMBASS

Youuuuu fuckwit. I was mentioning both songs, that's why they're not on the same line.

Dumbass.

How the fuck would a "FAN" know that the bassline Galapagos follows the vocal, and not know the difference between Rocket and Hummer? You are just another recipient of the stupid award aren't you?

IMBECILE SWINE

BORIS IS A GARBAGE BAND AND THATS WHY NO ONE ELSE ON HERE BUT YOU LIKES THEM.

"AYE YOUST TA BAY A LITTLE GARL"

Billy's fury.

Jimmy's fills.

D'arcy's pick attack on the bass especially when the 2nd verse kicks in.

and the element that nearly brings me to tears is James Iha's lead, especially the ending solo. If you still have a wig by the time this performance reaches its end then I don't want to know you.

When those drums kick in after 4 measures, damn. Also, for some reason the end riff always reminded me of the US national anthem. Super strange.

Oooh, all caps!
I'm not into Boris but it's not so much that they suck, you just have super basic taste

Yeah I don't really care for them myself.

After the wind chimes when “Plainsong” kicks in

Solara palm muting intro. Gets me every time.

When the outro solo in Starla begins... whatever effect Billy used on his guitar, it was like nothing I've ever heard before or since. That solo (and the whole song) is just a fucking masterpiece.

It's hard to believe that the guy who wrote that went on to give us dogshit like For God and Country and Widow Wank My Mind.

^the part at 9:47 where it just starts to go whirrwhirrwhirr is unreal

Deafheaven is better

Alcest isn’t metal enuf

^the part at 9:47 where it just starts to go whirrwhirrwhirr is unreal

Yep, that's exactly what I was referring to! I remember the first time I ever heard that. My reaction was like, "HOLY SHIT!"

whenever bill gets a good pick slide in
