Smashing Pumpkins - The Unbearable Likeness of Manny 

"Bob Vance Vance Refrigeration"

James iha cracking

Funny thing is, jimmy had a camaro way back hahahah

James 8:09

Or he's just being a smartass. lol

o shit it's shonkywonkydonkey

This whole "interview" is so tongue in cheek....I wonder if you think the speaker actually had a small child in it

@@cdreyes81 that was just his humour

Elliot Nguyen I felt Billy’s awkwardness and disgust when talking to a normie in that moment.

Me too, man. Do you know if he ever used it for writing a tune?

@@youreallygotmenow4855 Yes, you can hear it in Luna

@@Krukowest and hummer

It’s not on Luna or Hummer, that’s a sitar owned by another band in Atlanta. Corgan’s sitar wasn’t used on SD. Maybe it wasn’t in good shape.

PocketsFullOfSorrows depending on when this was filmed it might have been not long after they broke up. They went through a rough patch but they later decided to remain friends and became very close again.

@@RandyRhoadsRules3 they didn't break up during that period. They certainly had a rough patch there but they never officially ended the band until 2000. Billy was depressed as hell, james and Darcy broke up, and Jimmy was getting more and more into his drugs which really skewed his punctuality (being strung out and going missing, in a sense, days at a time: all of this during their recording sessions).

@@riainmcclanahan916 I meant James and D’Arcy had broken up not the band.

@@RandyRhoadsRules3 I doubt they ever dated Darcy has a druggie personality and James seems pretty straightlaced

@@iditarod4081 They’re literally confirmed as having dated lmao. Look it up. Google is your friend.

I think so. He used a sunburst strat during a lot of 1993 shows, and the silver paint on the bat strat got so faded that you could see the original sunburst finish coming through

These days he looks like Doctor Evil

No he doesn't.

how so?

@@franklynchacha803 You're right. They're always that surly and ungrateful.

That's a sweet idea, I agree that people were inspired a lot by 60's music in the 90's. But these decades have a lot more different than in common, totally different time and society was very different. People dressed funky and grew their hair out in the 60's, to the shock of the establishment. By the 90s, you didn't have to belong to the establishment - if anything 90's music is slow jam Punk Rock or Heavy Metal music, with the grunge style.

Sure, the 90s and 60s have nothing to do socially-wise, politically-wise. I meant just musically. Musically, the 90s era defining trends were grunge and britpop. Of course grunge had lots of other influences, such as punk rock and heavy metal, but Kurt Cobain's main songwriting influence (and I mean melody-wise, structure-wise) were the Beatles. This is very obvious on lots of songs (About a Girl, Lithium, All Apologies,...). Pop songs, played with punk attitude. The Smashing Pumpkins psychedelic influences are there to hear on their first albums. Britpop is even more obvious. All the bands from Oasis, to Blur, to Supergrass, to The Verve,etc are really into 60s music, clothes,...Cool Britannia was a revival of Swinging London. That covers from 1991 until 1997. From 1997 onwards, both grunge and britpop were basically over.

imo 90s was the decade what alt/indie rock died.. The real explosion of this type of sound and creativity was in the late 70s' and carried through all the 80s' up to the 90's went it was brought to mainstream and became way oversaturated and streamlined and then died..

I wouldn't say indie rock died, so much as it's in a void where it doesn't seem to know where to go after Loveless. I wouldn't say that claim holds true entirely, either, although if you asked me if there is a more cutting-edge band than Coaltar of the Deepers in the modern era I'd have to bite my tongue. On the one hand, I think bands like Pity Sex and Ringo Deathstarr are just rehashing old ideas that came from the scene that celebrated itself (not to say they don't do it well), but on the other, bands like Deafheaven actually have something new and interesting to show.

Garbage sounds like it too, tho...

Recorded with him and Steve Marker in the 80s, they are generous super brilliant dudes and richly deserve all the success they’ve found. Not an accident their wonderful weird little studio was called ‘Smart,’ if you ask me.

Or even ... Garbage . No ? Oh well , please yourself . 😅 .. .

Ronaldo Lacradria did the bass too lol

But it was to save studio money

Jimmy had great balance with striking drums and cymbals; he’s a super pro. If it sounds too loud it’s because the lousy video mic recording the room is a small mic and is capturing more highs than other ranges

@@sub-jec-tiv this was a while ago but i think i was making a joke about the trashformer on his cymbal stand LMAO

4 years late reply, wrong smart ass! Darcy and James played on the recording it's just that Billy then chose to re-record their parts because he was obsessed with making it perfect.

CC Grey I think he only did it for the Adore record not for Siamese Dreams.

Karina F He did it for all of their albums lol just did it less depending on the record and it was definitely done a lot

No wonder they were pissed. Can you imagine spending time recording all those tracks and then someone comes in and re-records over your parts so nothing you did was on the record. That would really make me angry. But apparently Corgan and Vig didn’t think it was good enough and being a control freak, he had to do everything. Except for the drumming. I just recently found out Corgan played everything on Gish too except the drums.

@@dynjarren7523 billy didn't want to re record butch forced him to

i know right, billy has the sickest clean tones. granted its probably the couple thousand dollars worth 1979 strat through a marshall with new tubes he just put in.

Probably just a compressor.

I believe that's the guitar that became the 'bat strat' shortly after this video was filmed. a 1990 reissue of a '57.

lace sensor red silver blue pickups through a marshal jcm800 with kt88 power tubes

Compression? But it can just be the way the mic on the camcorder picks it up. Being in that room sounds worlds different than what’s being picked up on camera

'91 30th anniversary with the triple pickups

I mean… he wrote the songs, and he wasn’t wrong. For all his little Napoleon bs he knew what sounded good at that time

It's a Maestro Stage Phaser, amazing pedals. effectsfreak.com/effect/maestro/msp_stage_phaser/

It could be a Fuzztain...

it is a fuzztain i’m pretty sure

She was there putting on a bass part during the drum recording/scratch vocal tracking. (This was early on in the recording sessions.) Her bass part (and James’ track) were wiped pretty much immediately afterward once Corgan and Vig started overdubs. Basically, they played a rough version together while recording the drum take, but everything besides the drums would get wiped and re-done by Corgan because nothing was perfect enough for him. Vig went along with it because Corgan felt strongly that it was crucial for them to make a ‘perfect’ album to cement their importance in the music business. Honestly from hearing them live, i really liked James’ guitar sound and Darcy’s bass sound was vibey too. It’s a drag half the band barely appears on the album. But it is a beautiful album, the best they ever made (besides Gish which is arguably better depending on how much a rock or pop person you are).

@@sub-jec-tiv Makes sense now, thanks.

​@@sub-jec-tivspot on. There are people to this day pissing on darcy and her bass skills with the argument thst she isnt on there, not realizing James isnt neither and that it probably has a lot more to do with corgan being corgan than their lack of skills.

@@photofriend44 thank you

i think they also played hello kitty kat not sure
