FALCO & Corgan dropping down the tuning for most of the classics during the reunion
I reckon it's because he can't hit the notes anymore. |
man, he really sounds like shit nowadays... Really sucks the life out of the classics.
|
Damn. That's a really great live mix.

he can't sing like he used to, but you know who is much much worse?
Stevie Nicks. no dynamics left at all |
|
He never really could hit those notes.

that lead octave part in cherub rock always has this awful nasal-y tone to it lately

And the lack of vocal ability really exposes the lack of songwriting nuance for some of these songs. I'd honestly rather listen to Falco. A track like this has aged a fuck of a lot better than a tired version of Cherub Rock ^That's just a god given swagger and level of charisma... Something that Corgan sorely lacks as a front man these days. As a frontman, you have to captivate the audience. |
he should just hire a lead singer at this point, theres enought room on that stage for one more person.

Just try to BS your way out of this comparison fuzzy. She is singing much lower and sounds pretty bad to me. Live by the larynx, die by the larynx. |
that was a long motherfuckin five minutes
|
to be fair they've played Cherub Rock in Eb since like 1996

A song like Cherub Rock was ALL ABOUT the piercing, banshee like vocals. So if you look at how Corgan's completely changed his singing style in my original post compared to your Stevie Nicks comparison, Corgan's style has changed more drastically (for the worst) than her and he's 20 YEARS younger. |
heavier versions for heavier times
this video just saved me 100 bucks on tickets to see the pumpkins live in july. i had no idea they were this bad. |
Yeah man, and it was a big live broadcast. Usually bands try and put on a good show for those.
Jimmy sounds good and stuff, but there's just no energy from any of the members. I see the word "tired" coming up in a lot of the comments for the reunion vids and I couldn't agree more. Seems like they're just there to show up and cash the check as opposed to having any real passion for the music and performance. |
I was watching all these youtube concerts the other day and was taken aback by how little the Pumpkins rock anymore. They're just missing that integral energy and spark in order to rock. I was then watching some Falco concert from the mid 90's and it struck me that he and his band literally rocked way harder than the Pumpkins do in 2018... Just let that sink in. Smashing Pumpkins can't rock harder than Falco
This unarguably rocks harder than that Cherub Rock clip I shared with you guys And really, the reaction of the crowd says it all. If you watch the Smashing Pumpkins video, they literally have to zoom in to find people mildly rocking out while everyone else around them is standing as still as a wooden figurine. The audience is clearly unimpressed, whereas in some 10 years past their heyday Falco video, everyone is dancing and having a blast. |
We can't all sound like Robert Smith in our advanced years

maybe you can hit him on appearance, but he still has the "image" IMHO its Fatrick Blotkin who has lost image and voice and feel and integrity |

He’s been playing most of those songs in drop tuning since 1996 you fucking moron.
