All of Mike's snare rolls makes this sound like a fucking 311 song. Way to go!

Christ. Billy spends the past how ever many years bitching about how james and darcy couldn't play, then he goes and replaces 75% of his band with people that can't play.

that's one of the only songs that I think didn't benefit in any way from the heavy treatment they gave most of the songs on that tour

Jeff is as good on guitar as billy is. And nicole is as good as anybody who's played bass in the band in the past.

they're different musicians with different styles. they aren't ever going to sound like 3 other people did in 1991.

Yeah, we all fell in love with the sound those 3 people did though, not these assholes.

I don't care how "good" they are, they will always suck a fucking dick.

If by good you mean lacks any musicality and a total sense of where he's going when he's playing, and lacks any inkling of creativity, then yes, he's GREAT!

Nicole blows. in fact, if all three have one thing in common, is that they're all aimless players and have no fucking clue what they're doing. There is a gigantic contrast between billy's musical ability on the guitar and how those three play. it's laughable, and embarrassing.

They've all had their chances to prove themselves, and they've been on two tours in the past two years, and they still suck. not good.

go listen to the gish/sd bonus content, and the live dvds, then watch this video and try to convince me that this is anywhere up to par with standard pumpkins quality.

What, i'm not allowed to say that they don't sound as good as the sound I grew up liking? I'm sorry that I just can't force myself to like it. I just can't. Its not like I haven't listened to the music or haven't listened to the live performances. I have, and each and every time it doesn't compare. Are they good musicians, sure i guess. Together, they don't hold any resemblance to the pumpkins of old. I'm not gonna pay for a product thats pumpkins in name only. I'm not eulogy, I don't care if they play every damn song ever written.

Now go back and stick your head ups montes ass.

wow, has it really been 11 years since they've played it? damn, i swear they played it in 2007 at least. anyway, i don't like it a whole lot, granted it has been a long time since they've played it and i'm sure they'll improve. probably not, though. actually, i think i'm going to listen to the 2000 performance instead.

Jeff isn't even as good as James, let alone Billy.

Jeff has great technique, but technique does not make for a good guitar player. James has tons more musicality and creativity.. i'd take James over Jeff any day.

Also, I'd like Jeff to write a song up to par with The Boy, Blew Away, Go, etc. Hell I'd like to see SP3 write something up to par with those songs.

Jeff is comparable to Billy in ability? That's just delusional. The only explanation is that Scottytheoneand's head is busy preventing a melt down of cognitive dissonance.

Normally, I do not find that Nicole's bass tones detract, but here it sounds fucking awful, as in "tinny wet farts" awful.

Also, the comment about "311 drumming" is pretty spot on when I think about how the jaunty shuffle of Grassroots compares to this.

Come on man, Mike totally butchered this song. And unlike Jimmy he has no real driving pulsating sound... It really detracts from the charm of what made the old songs great.

Exactly.
I've been wondering about this....how is it possible that a musician like
Billy Corgan can be satisfied with them?
The only answer I can come up with is that he has such a big desire
for harmony on a personal level that he doesn't care about what a band
makes great anymore.

I have moved on... But its no reason for me to wear rose colored shades when forming an opinion on this new band Billy started... The chemestry is flat and the skill level of the new musicians is obviously very inferior to the people in Billys old band.

most of Jame's solo work is just plain boring. he should stick to producing shitty bands.
D'arcy was never a great bass player. She and James were NEVER in the same league musically as Billy and Jimmy were.



If you don't believe billy, take Jimmy's word for it.
