Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins) In The Arms of Sleep

Billy Corgan Paris 30 September 2010

[@chadsem]

This is SUCH a damn great song! Brings back some good and not so good memories of my early 20's (if ya know what I am saying)! ;)

[@cheesemanisawesome]

One of the best love songs

[@pumpkinhead1977]

lol There are "thumb" things I'll live without... Oh the look of surprise on his face, priceless. Great performance of a superbly written song.

[@Marysol24753]

i would have cried if i were there

[@KingOfCarrotflowers]

...How he can play this thing with a smile throughout is inhuman...Still, one of my favorite songs.

[@infinitesmile]

@95AnnieAnnie95 Thankfully Billy announced this performance on Twitter and I immediately called the bookstore to confirm, on the day I took my older son Phoenix and drove 4 hours from Luxembourg to Paris just for this event ;-) you can see my son in the TONIGHT TONIGHT clip when I pan over to the right (he was 8 at the time) me and my boys are huge pumpkins fans

[@Peacecore09]

I love the lyrics in this song. So well written!

[@SomaLunaMuerte]

LOL it's like @ 0:37 Billy developed a lisp or something, and he just laughs it off... He's so amazing. I'll always be a Pumpkins fan.

[@infinitesmile]

Billy Corgan performed an acoustic set on 30 Sept 2010 in a book store (atoutlivre) in Paris as part of the book signing for "Chants Magnetiques" a book he co-wrote with french author Claire Fercak.

This song brought me to tears, because I can relate it to perfectly. ... beautiful song and man. Thanks so much for uploading ^-^

[@vanityH0lden]

Ho amato e amo Billy. Ho provato e provo a fidarmi ancora del suo talento. Ma credo che non potrà mai più essere scritta una simile meraviglia.

@infinitesmile that's awesome!!! :O I would've been psyched!!!

[@amabille16]

@darkxslaye If I was watching Billy Corgan playing live one of my favorite songs, I would be shaking even more!

[@TheSPumpkin100]

Awesome.

[@starlastarlove]

beauuuuuuuuutiful

[@brasco505]

The top.

[@wetpaperflowers]

@Drossrock Yeah! Yeah! the sounds we hear in the background come naturally... well, to Billy Corgan.

[@TheAnonymusWimp]

Wow realy the guitar is booming all around the room.I would like toi take mine and play in there.

[@Kroller6]

Sweeeeeet!

[@SymonWayne]

Those sounds you hear in the background are just the effects you get from octaves.

[@yyzcityofangels]

Billy!!!!!

[@Vermin80]

@infinitesmile let me tell you, you have done very very well my dear :) thanks for recording this great session! greetings from switzerland to my neighbours!

[@armsofdelmar]

this is good, pretty pretty good

[@twlawrence]

@infinitesmile Nice job with all the vids! In the future, I hope that Billy can do an acoustic tour with material from his entire catalog.

[@davecemdude]

cool song.

[@EJSR08311]

Muy bueno...

[@infinitesmile]

@Drossrock he was definitely playing all by himself - it was magical ;-)

[@infinitesmile]

@Sixpog I'm a she ;-) and the experience was quite overwhelming I must say ;-) thanks for appreciating. Not easy keeping a tiny flip camera steady for over 30 min ;-)

[@ffmattsk8]

This is sweet but I wish there was some bass being played along with it. It's one of my favorite SP basslines.

[@EvoSchecter]

@Drossrock it's called Acoustic Harmonics silly

[@Dorian_sapiens]

@moshinno Good call. And I think I hear that the high E is down an additional half step, sounding a D.

[@suormariaclaretta]

why? why coulnd't i be there? whyyyy????

[@videogameguitar-matt]

@Drossrock those are cascading notes

[@95AnnieAnnie95]

@infinitesmile were you expecting to see him or was it like the most amazing coincidence ever?

[@pzapir8]

it's likely a drum machine or an effects loop hooked into his amp.

[@fieldpool]

@Drossrock mmm I wonder the same thing ... great set

[@shamiir18]

where was this???? in a library?

[@infinitesmile]

@darkxslaye welcome - I'm not a pro ;-) and don;t have pro equipment ;-)

[@Drossrock]

Was he playing alone? I can hear sounds in the back like in the album version ?¿?

[@MrCloudsauce]

what be the chords to this song?

[@JoseGarnelo]

@chadsem 100%, buddy ;)

[@deedub0617]

lol, he wasn't done!

[@nigrobat]

@pandelerick he's not even drunk either

[@TheWowmart]

one person is clueless

[@lilamote]

love
