Smashing Pumpkins - Heavy Metal Machine (AOL Sessions 2007)

Dude is the best drummer of the last 30 years and it isn't even close

[@alexandereckert5184]

Him and Daney Carey are gods

[@johnd5931]

@@alexandereckert5184 I'd add Josh Shroy of Falling Up, and Chris Guanlao of Silversun Pickups to that list too.

[@turdzillaatemysn]

josh freese, chamberlin, carey top 3 for me

[@Charronegro_13]

@@johnd5931 What about Ilan Rubin, he should be on the list also.

[@kustomhooligans]

Joah Freese, Chamberlin, Carey should be somewhere on any well rounded rock music lover's top 5. Bonham's intro into When the Levee Breaks is still one of my fav stand out drumming pieces, as simple as it is(doesnt have to be complicated to be great. Its just as hard to know when to hold back as it is to know when to rock the fuck out!)

[@andrewface]

Jimmy Chamberlin

[@unumjonathan]

I agree

Corgan is a beast soloing! Super underrated! He has always been the Devin Townsend of grunge/alternative rock!

[@philyates7670]

Corgan has never been under rated as a guitar player. If you really want to talk under rated then you're looking at Mike Campbell or Steve Jones.

[@weeewooo777]

....underrated? Corgan is on the GOAT list!

[@amandaadzima1764]

Yes he is the 🐐 😃😃😃😃

[@TheSiameseDreamer]

They have never been grunge

[@charlieruss2128]

Definitely not grunge

[@patrickisawesomer]

One of many face melting medley versions of HMM. If you never 'got' this song or the Machina album in general, you have to understand this song (and the album) is not really being sung from Billy's perspective, but from the perspective of a fictional version of himself, a grandiose caricature of what he and pumpkins had once been or were once becoming. Basically like a modern more dystopian type of Beatles-bigger-than-Jesus band. Would you die for rock and roll? It's almost tongue in cheek. The whole thing is a cool concept, one that only Billy and Jimmy could actually come close to doing justice to in a live setting.

[@CoenWilson1]

All I know is that I would die for rock n roll

awesome this version kicked me in the eye

[@DuggieDug111]

agreed! I've been thinking about them a lot lately for some reason. I wonder if they'll ever get big again like back in the day. I mean, over the top huge again. the music industry needs them

incredible, gyus, this is very very solid rocking unfortunately, I, for one, wasn't ready to understand it at the time

This heavy metal machine version is fucking awesome 🔥🔥🔥🤟🤟🤟

Incredibly well produced.

[@DrunkDuckXD]

Could have got the keyboardist more but I agree, amazing quality

[@BarelyBreakingBand]

Masterpiece rockshow

[@charlestaylor6986]

Speed it up to 1.25 and it sounds like thrash metal in the middle. So good.

[@alexmalch]

damn it really does

[@cass2303]

Love that switch up

[@chrish8904]

That vocal had a rocky start, but he got really good after he warmed up a bit. That guitar is on point, though for sure. Dang.

[@kenyonjohnson5595]

The vocal start was awesome dude

[@cass2303]

This band doesn't need to warm up. This band is awesome. And their new music coming out is amazing.

[@fernandoretamalesl]

I've always liked live renditions more than the original studio version of this song. Nevertheless, this was a little over the top, even for Pumpkins' standards.

[@TheGreatEbayer]

+Fdo Retam I agree, it's better than the album version. I would have loved to hear an album after Zeitgeist with stuff like this, SuperChrist, and GLOW.

[@jamesyoung1959]

-------over the top------- funny statement. Haven't the Pumpkins always been about that to a certain extent?

[@jagermeister33]

@@jamesyoung1959 Exactly. Isn't that like, the whole point of the Pumpkins? I never understood that criticism.

Inaccurate. Love James but Jeff is a far superior guitarist.
