Disarm - a Smashing Pumpkins cover

This is hands down my favourite Smashing Pumpkins song. Billy Corgan has such a unique writing style. His voice is also unique and as such I have made zero attempt to emulate his style. I don’t even strum it the same way. Hope you all enjoy this cover, I enjoy playing it!
Also thanks to my coworker Peter for the loan of his Zoom H5 Handy Recorder. What a great tool that I’m sure I need to own. Thanks again!

My dogs are my biggest fans too. I start to play and they gather around and end up falling asleep lol

[@bigjoecovers]

Dogs are great!

[@foanarid9448]

Sang from the heart, I can see that. Beautiful performance, thank you.

[@arobbins8755]

Never judge a book by its cover. I was not expecting this when I saw a guy with carhartt overalls. Well done! Love this song and cover.

[@bigjoecovers]

Carhartts for life! Lol. Bib overalls are the most comfortable things I’ve ever worn.

[@lylecarlsonsurfboard]

Great cover!

[@martinbrint4455]

I fucking love songs when sung with sincerity. Thank you❤

[@travisrlambert]

You have real talent, sir. Thanks for posting videos for us to enjoy. Hopefully, the KZbin algorithm will promote your videos to a wider audience soon.

[@donovanmaxwell]

Just, absolutely, fantastic.

[@IStink3]

Great work Joe! Love your performances.

[@wojciechzudro1301]

I can’t resist watching all over again, I learn that song right now :D

[@bigjoecovers]

Awesome! I play it a bit “lazy” for some, it’s originally played with strong down strokes, I prefer a sadder softer approach.

[@wojciechzudro1301]

@@bigjoecovers really cool, I like your tricks with C7 (c major) chord, like you make with fingers, I see it and it sounds great that tricks, to play it like this I must excersise more, I’ll watch your videos thanks mate !!

A wonderfull cover version ❤

[@John-mt4yj]

Wicked cover. Going to really try and see smashing pumpkins live in june at Manchester if i can. It's top of my buget list. I grew up on the Mellon collie album n bud brings back painful childhood memories but our pain reminds us we're alive and is character building and fortifies our will and makes us stronger if it doesn't break u.

[@fartsarerad]

Very nice. Thank you.

Nice man!

[@SupermanNew52]

Just found your channel. Well done man. Not many can cover the pumpkins. I decided to spend tonight looking for some great covers to add to my "SP covers" playlist. They've been my favorite band since I was 11yrs old back in 1993 when I was handed the Siamese Dream cassette tape. I love 90s alternative/grunge music more than anything in the world. I enjoy video game music a lot too as well as many other genres. I look forward to going through all your other stuff. I already see Nutshell in the preview box.

[@bigjoecovers]

This and Nutshell are far and away my most popular videos. I like the rest and had fun making all these videos. Thanks for watching!

[@annewick3287]

Sounds great man and ive seen smashing pumpkins live

[@bigjoecovers]

We’ve adopted Arthur just over a year ago and he’s finally comfortable with my loud singing voice. He used to just hide in his kennel when the guitar came out and now he joins me!

Right on!

[@Hilaire_Balrog]

The stare at the end like your saying “now hand me back my beer” after being challenged to cover this song. 😂

[@jorlon17]

I don't comment on covers very often....maybe I never have. This though.... This was fantastic to be honest.
