Great way to say it

It's the effects. Fuzz for sustain and an analogue delay (Memory Man?) for the ambience. The delay reacts on how hard he's playing too, which is really cool! Great version of the song regardless, I love the shoegazey, dense guitar sounds.

@@nedim_guitari’ve always thought billy was a shoegazer at heart, i mean he is a big swervedriver and mbv fan

@@brettharvey716 He is. He liked Eddie Van Halen when he was a teenage shredder, but also The Cure, which was his goth thing, and obviously MBV... He even mentioned Jane's Addiction in an interview, and you can hear it on Gish, with those slow, quieter, break passages.

yes.... remind me of songs by band " Go With Strangers " .... .. same vibe . ..

Good choice

Thinking of you and your loss

RIP your dad

Well he must have been a legend.

Good daddy

Well Said.;-)

that's what she said

Totally agree, that was awesome.

Muito bom mesmo

I don't think Billy would agree with that. Basically because they had been friends a long time and when you listen to the words and the song and understand them and allow it to paint a picture in your head and then visualize how it relates to Bowie dying and making that transformation between you and there whatever there is, that's pretty deep especially performing it with that image in your mind. Having written those lyrics so long ago to then have them performed again creating that perspective it's f****** emotional and intense. I don't know if I had held it together as well as Billy did. Need to get choked up in the live performance there's no doubt about it and I think I know why now.

Exactly!

agree. people either love or hate billy's voice. I didn't care for his vocals when I first started listening to them in my youth in the early 2000's. Now I'm diving back into their catalog 20 years later and examining them with a more mature ear and I've came to love it the more and more I listen. it's an acquired taste. he can be good singer when he wants to but his guitar work, melodies and songwriting have always been what has attracted me to SP

@Nicholad March Really similar experience I’ve been listening to them since the 90s I owned Siamese dream and always liked their singles but could never fully get on board mostly cuz his voice but this last year I’ve been diving into their catalog and first was amazed at how many great sonfmgs they had which I hadn’t heard but also really started coming around on his voice and they’ve been one of my favorite bands this past year

Thing is I get why people might find his voice 'different' but when I heard Cherub Rock mega MEGA loud in an alt club in the autumn of 93...his delicate/harsh vocals and the way it wove through the guitar blew my mind and I couldn't imagine his songs any other way. I went shopping very hungover the next day and bought Siamese Dream and Gish, sat for hours with friends listening to them, and Mellon Collie, debated and ultimately loved where they went with Adore... And was again totally blown away by Stand Inside Your Love and The Everlasting Gaze. The band was always the antidote to the 'cock rock' and I think his voice is paramount in that.

This is VILE!

He killed it huh

@@BosworthMcG he killed it but in a good meaning!!!

+jack harkness Mike Byrne

he does overplay it. i find him particularly obnoxious as a player. he is no jimmy, but oh well. Billy seemed to think he was good enough..

I watched this exact band members play live back in 2013. I'm not a musician but my friends are, and we all agreed in one thing, the drummer was almost too good to be true, all my musician friends said that he was "perfect", didn't even made 1 single small mistake during the performance. He is insanely good believe me, probably watching from your home you can kinda feel that he is overplaying it, but live is a completely different story believe me. I went to the festival to watch another band that was gonna play before them and left the place with the feeling that I had watch the best live performance ever, and I have seen quite a few believe me. My point is, sometimes when you watch/hear something in your computer or smartphone that was made to be watched live, it can give you a different idea of what it actually is.

Mike Byrne is a beast. Check him out in one of his other projects, Bearcubbin kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hbV5e8t4mcnWn3k.html

Not Jimmy tho,No one can beat Jimmy

Mr. Doman 🙄

Tasty little chops in there, innit?

Please leave Mr Doman

@@magikalunikorn1981 kkkkk

that’s what i thought Gru is a man of many talents

You need to post all the performances from this episode. Really want to hear a particular song toward the end more. I don't know the name of the song.

One of the best Pumpkins performances ever. Epic.

A most blistering performance...Fantastic.

Wow...didn't know that. Yeah, everyone brings their A game to SXSW.

Perhaps the best SP rendition of this song.

Good old Big Muff Op-Amp pedal!

Time is passing too fast

Yep drummer is incredible. I wish the band sounded more like this generally than a sort of soft pop rock. If you can do this why not do more of the same all of the time.

I Completely Agree! Just watched this Guitar Sessions episode! Loved It!! Billy is Superb as Usual as is the rest of the Group!! Good to see them again! Been awhile for me!! Thumbs way up here!!

You are correct... but you are also batman... quit hiding behind that other alter ego...

Underrated lineup. Mike kills it

It’s Jeff not john

Highly agree with this.

i mean, jeff schroeder is still in the band

Già, i Pumpkins non deludono mai

During this period of the band's history the guy ripping on drums is Mike Byrne but I do agree he absolutely kills it on this track.

@johnjohnsonf739 Thanks for that factoid. And yes, it's an amazing arrangement and Byrne nails it in every way. Probably the most enjoyable, emotionally power driven cover I know of. Billy wouldn't have performed anything less than a masterpiece for his friend Bowie.
