Couldn't have been said better.

100% agree...

i cant maintain interest in them without her in the band, in my mind she is an integral part both sound and looks-wise.

Nah, just a split-tail riding on the back of the big guy, that's all, nothing more... nothing less, Schmuck.

To be accurate: those aren't harmonies... she's singing an octave above him. Anyone can do that.

hahaa such a weird thing to say

British humour lol

that was the 90s for you

Lmao I know

lol

Yes, a pity they cut away from her every time she was singing harmonies, usual video editor idiots! :-)

Darcy was a hole for the boys when they needed a release, and that's it.

@@Dynamatrix1973 what a terrible comment, go outside you incel. You sound miserable.

@@Dynamatrix1973cool man

@@Dynamatrix1973 anyone that talks about another person like that can only be a jerk, and that's it.

Please seek out Vieuphoria

i mean its good and all, but i think "mind blown" is a bit overkill. they were always just an average band that come around when everyone was "sad".

@@jtjt4827 well Im mind blown coz Im a SP fan. I don't care if you think that comment was overkill coz thats how I feel man

Well then you truly missed out in the world's a sadder place

I had it on Napster

To me, they sound like hope.

You said it all

I clicked before I saw it was new material I miss the 90s life that much especially here in 2020 chaos

Why so simple?...go to school and back home?just great song but not in an acousting version...

Love the way you put it.

Yeah, he always knows exactly what to do in every moment of the song. Fantastic drummer.

He looks like Jordan Luck from kiwi band The Exponents.

He's right at home. He started as a jazz drummer.

That roll at the end though....epic!

True talent!

@Mike Russo she wasn’t then and they have never been as good without her

You had to make that comment about her being a junkie how many times now? Who cares. You got some serious problems. Btw Billy only did the bass on gish and SD but he also did James parts so I guess he's a bad musician too? Billy did the parts because he's Billy Corgan, not because James and darcy were that bad. Darcy sounded good on any live version I've seen and she was a huge part of the band.

@Mike Russo He played her parts because he was a control freak. It's a pity he wasn't so fussy about his vocals.

On top of his control issues, Billy doesn't really like sharing the spotlight either. @@deaddoll1361

@Mike Russo you're commenting the same crap in every comment, like we get it...

sounds like a angel , looks like an angel , just may be , just to bad my ex says im satan himself so I dont think it would work for me and Darcy but willing to try ! lol

To hell with Billy

@@oscarreyes4078 He wrote all the good stuff

IM SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE (besides me) LIKE HER VOICE. 😎

Her bass parts were always solid.

It’s a song, not an alot.

0:49 love that subtle way she breaks in the main riff

I'm 64 and a black man the first time I heard this i loved it.....but didn't know the name of the group and song. Not long after they did a show Atlanta 3 blocks from my house. I saw the posters but still didn't know their names. When I finally knew the names.....I was kicking myself in the ass every since then!

She's playing the bass so fast it makes it look like her are not even moving. Pretty wicked

Gish was never that important to me since I didn't grow up owning it. I did grow up having Siamese Dream, however, and that album made me fall in love with dream pop.

before billy morphed into a full on narcissist. brilliant performance

@@deadISgawdBilly deserves to be a full of narcissist (sorry if i'm wrong in english) By the way, 03:13 he said there be no solo guitar this time))

I have them on constant loop now at age 63 ! I hope your not missing music !

gish is so underrated

You mean one source of ....new content?this version btw i so much worse than the original.opinions may differ

I mean, how did we make it out of the 90's without knowing everything about folks' sexual leanings like MTV devotes its time to today? Who knew that millenials would come along to point out how horrible we were

@@tvtvvtvt8017 Concerning our generational accusers, they have 3 fingers are pointing right back at them.

Ha! No Shit! Zero music on MTV these days! WTF?

I miss what MTV used to be. It used to be awesome.

same here. while many consider mellon collie their peak, i consider it the beginning of their downfall. like guns n roses with the "illusion" albums, they got too pretentious for their own good. it's still a solid album (as is both illusions) but with it they lost sight of what made them great.

Moments in History,,, giving us Joy... Memories we compile,,, Weaving the Fabrics of our Lives...

Love D’Arcy. Hope n Pray she has Peace ☮️

corgan's hair refused to continue on without the others...

@@joejones9520 😄

Have been a fan since the beginning. I always had the idea that they didn't have a single bad song, Billy is such a great songwriter. I can say that until adore, after that everything changed and we have what we have now. I was not able to listen to the Atum album, just things are not there anymore. Anyway, we had great moments with the band, and those time will last forever. I'm grateful for that.

I KNOW RIGHT 🎤

very underrated ! and for the record I'm sort of glad my kids are grown so I dont have watch power rangers anymore , no offence , lol

@@brianpinion5844 no offence taken. It was a terrible tv show!! My handle is a piss take. You are the first person in my entire KZfaq history who actually knows what the power rangers are! Amazing!!

@@thegingerpowerranger haha I will never forget the power rangers , I was so happy when my kids got into spongebob ! and cant lie im 48 kids grown moved out and still catch myself watching spongebob from time to time, guess ill never grow up !

Hey dude! Seeing you randomly pop up in the comments section of a obscure pumpkins video

Agree though 😅

Hey! I watch your videos! You like the smashing pumpkins too!? Btw, I am subscribed

Scrolled down to the comments just to make sure that the first comment is about Darcy.

darcy was hot.. in 93.

I agree D’Arcy is so so beautiful

Vrdd 😆😆😆

She used to be anyway. Seen her mugshots? Too much collagen and surgeries, drugs who knows...it's a shame.

Jason Powers it is but inside she’s still a beautiful woman even though she doesn’t look good on the outside it’s what you feel on the inside that matters right?

@@kingbopit9318 yes I agree with you but when someone ruins their face with surgeries and drug abuse they are obviously hurting inside. I wish her the best and I hope she can bounce back

RIGHT

Holy shit, that's too funny! XD

Yeah, I was going to say something about his head, too. ;)

This was during his teenage Tom Brady phase.

Shaming someone for going bald when it's not something they have any control over?

Yeah , and such an incredible band and Billy’s just so cool 👍🇦🇺

D'arcy: underrated bass player See also: Tina Weymouth

She gets shit on (unreasonably so) because Billy wrote and recorded the bass on the albums. She definitely holds it down live, and her vocals made Billy sound so much better than he actually was (she was heavy in the mix both live and on albums), but she gets hate because she's playing the bass lines that Billy wrote and originally performed.

@@benbub123 Except that's not even true. He recorded "most" of the guitar parts on Gish and Siamese Dream. He recorded the bass on Machina and Adore, and Mellon Collie was fully collaborative from all members. Billy Corgan is an amazing musician, but he's also rich and insane and loves to exaggerate his prowess. Now his guitar playing is tasteless schlock and he doesn't even use pedals anymore.

SHE CAN PLAY !

She had the whole package..... beautiful, can sing, can play and stage presents!

I agree the harmony is on point You could really hear how sweet Darcy's voice is !

@@rickjohnson8707 I'd hit it...not now tho obviously

@@rickjohnson8707 Yes, it's a pity you couldn't SEE it. As usual, whoever makes these videos is an idiot, and whenever she was singing harmony they didn't show her. Same as Joe Satriani videos, whenever he's playing the lead, they cut to the drummer or something stupid. Also, Billy's guitar lead was too soft to hear. Even so, this was a treat to see and hear. 🙂

Ray Cokes now has his own KZfaq channel! www.youtube.com/@RealRayCokes

wonder how many are fans because we was young dudes with crush on her, hell I still have one , ive always strongly disliked Billy but still always listened to them I guess why I was wondering not sure myself

There is one available where they play all acoustic versions of Siamese Dream. It’s called Mayonnaise Dream.

Lol, Billy sounded great, Darcy was at her finest, and Billy had hair! The three important factors!! 🙂

I'm not buying a ticket if Darcy ain't on bass

this performance includes the female bassist doing key backing vocals, so i very much doubt that

@@georgial6398 .. You doubt that they still play it acoustic style like this because there is a different member now? That's imbecilic..

@@miketripodo2879 I doubt the male bassist is providing an equivalent to D'arcy's backing vocals here, yes. Men and women don't sound alike.

@@georgial6398 .. Numbskull. I didn't say anything other than they still perform the song this way, meaning acoustic, and that it sounded great when I saw them recently. Eat my shorts.

I don't care who or what people say........D'arcy can play and sing 🎶

Too bad she moved to a farm and got hooked to drugs

Agree, this is such an amazing a beautiful album. So many great songs with power and melancholy

Same. Me and some mates were getting wasted at a holiday house for 2 weeks listening to it everyday. One of those albums that perfectly represents a time in your life.

@@gregandrade3796 I’ve still never heard anything that blew me away as much as Siamese.

There's just complementary timbres between their voices that can't be learned, it's just luck.

My favourite video when I was younger... loved the silly skits like Super Bugg and Meet The Frogs

This is the kind of comment my Dad would write.

@@joeydanielski962 😅 True that. (I am a father myself)

Im not even a pumpkins fan but this is solid

@@joeydanielski962 it's what people who dont understand what autotune is who write this over and over and over...i wish i had a filter that weeded them out.

No lead singer. He had no clue what to do with his non-voice. Tuneless, abrasive, nonsensical phrasing choices. Bleaccch. Find an isolation track of him singing and listen on headphones. 😁

Siamese Dream is a fucking masterpiece!

Ha...I just commented above that this is when I realized he was playing that riff in octaves. I felt silly not hearing it on the record at first, but it was a flashbulb moment for me as a guitarist. I never missed another octave riff from then on.

Camera operator is awesome for that. He plays this a bit different here so it's nice to have visuals for reverse engineering the acoustic solo in particular.

@@RadioactiveSince1990x Yeah but he sucks for not showing Darcy's harmonies, I wanted to see that but he always was on someone else when she was singing.

Hi Kerry. A fellow Aussie. Loving the pumpkins from Northern NSW (near Nimbin 🌱🍄) They rock the hell outta this song ey!

Listening to the Pumpkins today in Brisbane. 🙂

he is a really great song writer with a weird voice but it somehow works when they are rocking out an he is screaming his lungs out. Rock music doesn't work if it is too neat and pretty and Billy has just the right amount of weirdness to make a really cool wild sound.

As you've never before though?

In the 1% of the time that she was sober, she was great!

I would have liked to hear what Billy did with the lead but the volume was too low to hear it. How the hell do you copy that lead on an accoustic?

Practice man. But playing/singing is hard in general for most. Typically the lead singer/guitarist switches from lead to rhythm while playing/singing

@Mike Russo ...look closer, Billy's teeth are perfect, vampire white. Sexy. And everything else he is,was,will be is perfect. Talent beyond this earth and gorgeous teeth thru which he sings.
