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. |

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. Last edited by fuzzyroes : 05-17-2019 at 09:58 AM. |

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. |

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. |

Either way, anyone who knows anything about music knows that artists down-tune songs that are regularly in standard tuning when they're not able to hit the notes anymore... Corgan is downtuned and he STILL can't hit the notes. It's a little sad. It's not a presentation I could ever imagine paying hundreds of dollars to see. Corgan's becoming like old man Ozzy. Listen to how downtuned this is now LOL Last edited by fuzzyroes : 05-17-2019 at 10:36 PM. |

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. Last edited by fuzzyroes : 05-17-2019 at 11:34 AM. |
