i always figured it was a live take, but billy claims in the reissue its him on bass, and that james' guitar and billy's singing were overdubbed.
bah humbug

fucking fantastic song and Grox, if you think its unemotional and an awful vocal i have no idea how you got into SP in the first place

Probably my favorite performance to watch from that era.

Excluding jerry from mcis has to be b0llies greatest blunder.

wtf??? but then mouths of babes, medellia and aeroplane didn't make it too.

they just should have made a quadruple album. with speed and towers of rabble.

sorry I just have a permanent boner for anything mcis.

keeping jerry off mcis was flood's thing wasn't it
it would have just been replacing ruby, anyway, then people could bitch about that for two decades
by this point you're just detracting from aeroplane, really

well aside from 1979 but that's different

It should have replaced Beautiful which for sure belonged as a Bside

Let's be real, TOASE, WOCOAT, Beautiful & Take Me Down should have been replaced by Set the Ray, Cherry, Meladori & Marquis in Spades.

It's probably a classic skipper for most daily MCIS-listeners.

TOASE belongs on mcis. i agree with the other three. rotten apples for take me down, set the ray for WOCOAT, and cherry for beautiful.

i really like beautiful, but it doesn't really add anything to the album. by starlight is a much better song and would still be there. i kinda think of them as sister songs or something.

I wouldn't change a thing about Mellon Collie, and The Aeroplane Flies High songs go so well together that I wouldn't change that either.

Beautiful sounded good live during the pajama shows but other versions kinda suck

you guys are idiots.

beautiful is essential. such a pretty, trippy melody. it's a great fit to by starlight and goodnite. part of that chilled out ending to twilight to starlight.

Billy had a hard on for his Beautiful/Ugly pair of song; I'm glad he didn't run with that as one of the main theme for mcis.
I guess he picked the best of the two for the album.

STRTJ probably just didn't make the cut seeing how it was a leftover SD track....

Ugly would have also been better then Beautiful on MCIS as would several other Aeroplane tracks.

STRJ didn't make the cut cuz Flood didn't like it

i've heard it came down to Jerry & Ruby
with Bill being the main advocate for Jerry & the rest of the band + Flood siding with Thru the Eyes

honestly i think they both work pretty well in that spot
