Jimmy's Drumming near the end of "Snail" appreciation thread

[houseofglass11]

There’s footage of Billy telling Jimmy what he wants him to do in the studio during SD sessions. Isn’t that in the bonus Vieuphoria footage? The 666 tape also shows the same during MCIS era. It’s pretty normal for a frontman to direct the drummer to get what they want out of them.

rein falls on everyone

the 1st drum beat on the 1st Pumpkins album is something Billy came up with, lol

I'm not questioning whether or not Billy tried to direct the band in the studio. I'm questioning whether he had the level of influence he claims he did.

didn't seem like JC listened to corgan's notes about the quiet chorus part in vieuphoria

[paranoid]

hey jommy ima need you to use a click on silverfuck k?

[paranoid]

in all seriousness there is a jimmy quote somewhere about working on muzzle, and billy was on his case about that one, and jimmy said something like "guitar players usually have bad drum ideas."

[paranoid]

and im not arguing jimmy was rained in, more that gish is peak jimmy. jimmy's great on gish but he's also kind of samey. peak jimmy to me is machina or that last tour he did with SP before leaving again. he's a monster on that tour.

[Ram27]

machina is def peak jimmy by pure intensity - that tom groove on the i of the mourning live outro is insane

Peak Jimmy is yet to come.

agree but you can't really say that here with a bunch of people throwing out phrases like "click track" or "push and pull" or whatever. so it's not worth it.

Lol @1:33 you can see Bølly throwing a tantrum like a toddler

[T&T]

seeing jeff's short hair in this clip, and knowing he has LONG hair now.... are those 3 years since this clip really long enough for him to have grown out his hair?

does jeff wear a wig?

Yeah exactly, who even NEEDS Jimmy when we had a young and hot Billy C laying down phat beats on a drum machine in the 1980s, and an older and more experienced Willy C laying down phat beats on a drum machine in the 2020s?

Sure. But if you want a full album of drum machine you should look elsewhere.

[Joey Goldberg]

Look fucks, I don't want any of that shit

I'm spitting straight facts and that's it.
