Adore is my desert island album. I will be buried/cremated with the CD I bought after school on the 2nd of June 1998, the day the album came out in Australia.

Sometimes, I listen to songs like Mayonaise, Today, Dsarm, Tonight-Tonight, 1979 e others. But I have been listening to Ava Adore since it came out. Lately, I have been listening to it on weekly basis, every weekend. This album is really special to me. This album is my time machine, and with the songs playing on my earphone, I'm a time treveler roaming the streets of my neighbourhood.

Glad that Howard Willing was willing to do that. I’m willing to bet that Being Beige is a slept on track.

The difference between watching this doc and watching the 606 tapes doc really is significant. D'Arcy and James are subdued here, but it's Billy who really needs to be talked about. In the Adore doc Billy is absolutely, and fundamentally, broken. He's a shell, broken by the death knell of a divorce, his mother dying and the band falling apart. And make no mistake, the band was very much falling apart in 97/98. What the Pumpkins should have done at this point is take a hiatus, heal and rest, repair the Jimmy issue, and just write and write and write. But the band didn't do that. And if we're honest Adore is only saved by the passage of time where it has morphed from a bust into a genuinely sad, introspective pearl of an album. But Adore still shouldn't have happened. It should have been canned, scrapped, started over. Someone should have stepped in and convinced the band that life was more important than prematurely forcing an album out. All this said the Pumpkins were still a force of a nature when performing live around this time (See Eurockeenes performance as an example) but christ, a more sympathetic and experienced label and manager, who's sole purpose was to to protect the unity and well being of the band, would've stepped in and stopped Adore because it was simply the best and right thing to do considering the apparent well being of the remaining band members.

"Mellon Collie" is "The Wall", "Adore" is "The Final Cut". Overhyped vs personal and "not now" albums. Now i prefer both later albums, they aged well. But i remember the time when i bought "Adore" just on release day, and i was MASSIVELY dissapointed. As now i have still mixed feelings. It's great album, second best after SD, but it killed Pumpkins in their prime

I love love love the song

First comment. great video!

First comment. Great video!

Wasn't jimmy fired before this album?

Where was the adore ducu broadcasted at originally? Uploader, can we get a better quality 1 video upload of this? Is it possible to upload it to mega?

and also because of that amotional charge, this album is so so special...

Adore is my favorite pumpkins record & overall record. this album is very smart & genius

too low volume

Billy was clearly exhausted here, but after saying he'd taken his gtr playing as far as it could go he goes on to the highly progressive and experimental M/TMoG and not long after the gtr epic Mary, Star of the Sea.

I can't believe you're alive!

I love the pumpkins. I mean I LOVE them (Billy❤️) so much so I have a SP tattoo on my back. But I feel like I'm a failure as a fan cause I don't like this album. (I'm kinda joking it's not that big a deal)

Love D'Arcy's cold personality and dry wit. lol

Its 2018 Billy released Ogilala im 2017 the closest to an accoustic answer to Mcis produced by Rick Rubin. Currently Smashing Pumpkins are reunited and touring...They come to my town Los Angeles on the 30th and 31st of this month August. Its a good time to be alive

For more than 5 years this cd was almost all I listened to

10 years later, and I ask... Where is PART TWO?

Song in the background?

What's the song used in the first half of the vid

He steals most from Iommi, I think

this is one of the best albums of the 90ies. Each song on this album is Special.

Fun! costco sells cheap fenders with a amp under 200!

Too bad Fender doesn't make these anymore. Incredibly versatile and very fun to play.

Billy looks like he's about to break down crying

Really like this. I guess it didn't sell because people wanted a more upbeat, hard rock sound. But the music is so lyrical. And the band still liked each other. D'arcy was irritated about how long they had to be in LA. I see the beginning of her frustration. But Adore is a great album. Machina is my favorite. And I think that Zwan Mary....Sea was a wonderfulthing. They did the whole album in song order in Atlanta. Loved it. New stuff can never be like the old stuff, but Oceania has 7 good songs.

Anyone know the background songs?

I wonder if this guy ever bought this strat

yeah so uh...ummm...part2? wtf? why can I not view it?

Except if someone buys his model guitar, they dont want a holy water guitar that will make them their own player.... they want something with a tone and capability of grunge for classic SP

What the song playing?

Very good video, he really goes in depth about what he is trying to achieve by working with fender and dimarzio to make this.

This album is actually quite beautiful

This is an awesome set. I just got mine today, it's worth the price. This is the greatest work the Pumpkins did, IMHO.

So wait... The LP costs more, and we get less songs and no DVD? It looks beautiful, but LP is more expensive than the MCIS LP Box!

He *

0:50 James is so funny!

Oh my gosh! I thought I'd seen every documentary/thing of the Pumpkins. I didn't! Amazing thank you so much for sharing this!!!

1:07 - 1:39 billy should do an instrumental album, he has the best melodies, or used to.

Love this album

Later after this album was released Biily corgan said it was an era were the band were falling apart. In a way it was great that it happened, because this album would never have turned out the way it came out. A brilliant different direction for the band.

Billy does not play for robots!

This day deserves this record, and I love the documentaries - thanks for sharing!

His guitar playing has reached a finite point is an ironic understatement considering the future from this point (in 1998). I'm so optimistic that Oceania will be so epic especially in the guitar department!

I love this album

It looks like Billy is gonna cry!

i just want to thank the pumpkins for being there if feel like as i progress through life so did the pumpkins im so lucky to have had music like your to keep me sane.

in my opinion they are like the Beatles of alternative rock.
