Remember how exciting it was when the first clip of United States came out?
That minute long clip of the duh duh duh duh duh part from the Grand Rex show. It was so exciting and the band seemed to be back then Zeitgeist came out and I realized I’d never get excited about anything the band did ever again

Very fitting that the song United States drags on way too long and wears out it’s welcome just like the country

There was a lot of big-time hype surrounding Zeitgeist. Looking back now after all of these years, it's quite extraordinary in regards to how fast it all imploded.

That's odd. I remember thinking Zeitgeist was quite an impressive return. It obviously has flaws, but it was a pretty cool statement. It was fun having the band back and everything. Which is part of the reason why it's sorta cheap to roll out the same game-plan 10 years later but with Iha involved.

I sort of agree. When Zeitgeist came out I did love elements of it but it was only recently when people on here said that he had lost the feminine side that it clicked. When it was out I was living in a flat in an old Georgian terrace building converted to flats that was about to be demolished and I was the only tenant and could record without feeling embarrassed, but was also able to play music ridiculously loud, and I'd play Doomsday Clock with a pretty hefty sound system thinking it was awesome, and childishly showing off the song to everyone in radius, but the album did miss a lot and that really has been missing from his songwriting since.

Such important lyrics to a reminiscence on Jimmy Hendrix's distorting "Star Spangled Banner" and classic guitar solos of the seventies:
Smashing Pumpkins Lyrics "United States" Tired eyes Closed for days There's no regret 'Cause there's no place I don't know What I believe But if I feel safe What do I need A home A home A home Revolution Revolution Revolution blues What will they do Revolution Revolution Revolution blues What will they do to me What will they do to me What will they do to me What will they do to me Dulcet tongues Whisper fast The future yearns Right now's the past Rouse me soon The end draws nigh Who's side are you on Your blood you cannot buy Revolution Revolution Revolution blues What will they do Revolution Revolution Revolution blues What will they do to you Well I I feel alright So tonight I got to ask you why Why deny it It's no surprise I've got to survive Freedom shines the light ahead I'll lead the last charge to bed I said my last rights I don't have to run scared no more Fight I wanna fight I wanna fight a revolution Tonight I wanna fight I wanna fight a revolution Tonight At the light At the light Do you wanna watch me die Let me be something good Let me prove something real like I should Let me embrace every single living thing Let me be every single moment I ever misunderstood And then they just released "Tarantula" as a single. An ordinary relationship war with a Paris Hilton lifestyle bunny on the cover. "Tarantula" I don't want to fight Every single night Everything I want is in your eyes You and me go back To places I don't know to care The spoils of all I got were left for scraps Don't let me say this But you're no worse than me It's crazy We are the real If real ever was And just because We are the real They feel we have enough We are the real 'Cause someone gave us up I want to be there when you're happy I want to love you when you're sad Can't stand the morning rain? Get out I'll take your place then Can't stand the blazing sun? Then close your eyes you'll see The angel dust I don't want to be Anything believed A million watts of sound can't compare Come along you'll see the world The pulse ripples, the crowd unfurls The current starts to flow and then you're on Oh it's white hot soul they want To sing for We are the real If real ever was And just because We are the ruin Of every living soul We are surreal Cause someone gave us up Don't break the oath I want to love you when you're happy Don't break this oath I want to be there when you're sad Freeze-frame the pouring rain We are the real As real as any ghost So easy now We are the real In ever living soul Oh don't they know? Can't stand the blazing sun? Can't stand the morning rain? Oh get out I'll take your place again I don't want to be alone I don't want to be alone I don't want to be alone at all If it's a white hot soul they want Then a black heart they'll get |

Ya know when United States came out, I thought it was a cool and clever way of saying fuck you to the Bush administration and right wing militarization but now that big belly Bobo is an Alex Jones nut now, I don’t know what the song even means anymore

I don't remember when this came out because I wasn't a fan until I heard Run2Me on the radio a few years ago

A song like Freak USA does a better job of painting Billy's political opinion.

I'd like it along with a fair number of tracks on the album if it didn't sound like it was recorded deep inside a tiny corner of a giant fucking tin can.

And take out about 50% of the vocals. "cuz I want you bad" is bad enough but the added "uh, uh, uh" is just unnecessary and unfair to the listener.

I just discovered this video from the Zeitgeist release party/show.
Were any netphorians there? Did you hold up signs? |
