REACTION | 1994 | Smashing Pumpkins "Disarm" | CLEANING OUT THE SHED EP 16

[@fr4gl3]

This entire album is a masterpiece.

[@marleinasmom]

Something about this song inspires the most incredible longing in me. It's almost overwhelming, this unfulfilled NEED. My problem is I have no idea what I'm longing for. It just makes me ache for something.

[@GoranVinko]

Connection ?

[@adamhurt612]

Great band. Their first 4 albums are absolute classics

[@AndreJHoward]

Zeitgeist is soooo underrated. listen to the entire album and man the writing, the composition and how cool it was sonically... my favorite Pumpkins album (and I'm old enough to remember Dream and Sadness etc being released) But for me Zeitgeist was just pinnacle Billy and Jimmy.

[@tiffanymajeski9637]

Ugh yesssssssssss

[@laurosilvestrejr.106]

*Another overlooked song with deep meaning is called, "With Every Light" Billy wrote this song after his mom died.*

[@bneal85]

This song is truly a gem

[@AntonioCrash]

Beautiful song. Machina is an amazing and underrated abum.

[@seanhutt4621]

Soma that's one that no one ever reacts to and it really is a masterpiece

[@todd8414]

What a beautiful song? Nostalgic!

[@FiniteRich]

That “I used to be a little boy” always gets me

[@michaeljacyna1973]

I think you'll love their song "Mayonaise"

[@SteveBrunelle]

love it when you start playing around with the chords...

[@jasonstehlick452]

Please do tonight, tonight!

[@lukestephenson7518]

Great song

[@shifty7629]

One of the anthems of my teenage years. Love this song. Mayonnaise was another of theirs that's stuck with me over the years. When you were mentioning the chord progression I couldn't help but think of "4 Chord Song" by The Axis of Awesome, an Australian comedy rock band. I think you'd get a chuckle out of that one. I think they have 4-5 different versions of it now.

[@sebecerra1403]

More Smashing Pumpkins please.

[@timothyevans7383]

Glad you enjoyed this. So beautiful, and reminds me of all the friends I couldn't make.....

[@CaliDBan]

Probably my fave Smashing Pumpkins song....I was late on this one and it was only like 1997. 😀 It's so calming and warm.

[@andieolson5693]

Being a product of the 80s and growing up with TSP in the 90's, this and 1979 are 2 songs I go to when I want to feel "at home". Damn is 1979 a good song!

[@MusicShed]

I love that song

[@SqueakGod]

this song takes me way back lol

[@82907]

Please do more pumpkins. Their drummer, Jimmy Chamberlin is a trained jazz drummer, and still plays jazz in other bands. Look him up. Jimmy Chamberlin Complex / Frank Catalano

[@bneal85]

Thank you so much for this video David! To this day, Smashing Pumpkins is probably still my favorite band; listening to and playing their music has helped me to channel and release a ton of emotion throughout my life. I was moved by your appreciation for that quality in this song. Along that vein, I enthusiastically encourage you to listen to their songs "Mayonaise" and "Thirty-Three". Take care!

[@TheButterflyChaos]

Oh, my teenage heart just cries with this one. Smashing pumpkins, but especially Disarm was played a lot through my first major depressive episode. Bittersweet nostalgia. Could you please look at Blue October - Hate me or Fear?

[@arc6017]

Perfect gem of a song!

[@ricardoguajardo5343]

Great band and awesome song+ your reaction/quotes/playing your piano...amazing

[@pearcey86]

Such a fabulous band. Musical masters, their own querky style and feel, creating such an atmosphere with every song. God I love them. Love your E minor licks too. Great work David.

[@wurzella1]

Your openness to new music & willingness to appreciate whatever the artist is offering you is why I love watching you. That and how you just instinctively reach out and play along to music you've never heard, amazes me every time 😁

[@dylanmoore2335]

I would really love to hear your thoughts on their '95 album, "Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness". The title track, "To Forgive", "We Only Come Out at Night", "Lily", "Thru the Eyes of Ruby", "By Starlight", etc. I guess the entire album as a whole. The first concert I ever went to was them during this tour in Wichita, KS. I was in 7th grade. Absolutely magic.

[@I_am_chuckiebrown]

This was fun to watch you experience for the first time. It reminds me of how great a song it is and how much I loved it when I first heard it. Also you’re awesome at piano 👏🏼

[@joshuakeller6687]

You're such an incredible musician and teacher, David. Please don't stop doing what you're doing! Also, can I request some music theory videos? I feel like you could really explain concepts well.

[@MusicShed]

That’s in the plans!

[@lc81002]

I'm not a huge Smashing Pumpkins fan, but this is definitely one of my favorite singles of theirs. Great analysis.

[@tonywillis1533]

Amazing feedback 👍🏻👍🏻

[@jenhasaplan]

LOVED THIS. One of my favorite Smashing Pumpkins songs! (Thirty-Three is another beauty.) Gerard Way sounds somewhat similar to Billy Corgan and cites the Pumpkins as a major influence on My Chemical Romance’s musical style. Still impatiently awaiting an MCR breakdown. I maintain Early Sunsets over Monroeville is a standout track from the early days. 🖤

[@Zxios]

agree, i love Early Sunsets over Monroeville (and Demolition Lovers) and MCR is definitely worth a deep dive as well. i would say he should do a 5-by MCR but 5 tracks doesn't do the band justice!

[@RachaelsLibrary]

Love SP and MyChem

[@bloodybutunbowed291]

Another band from that era that deserves a deep dive is the band "Live" starting with the album "Throwing Copper"

[@seanhutt4621]

That was a great album good call

[@adriancole9681]

Their drummer has jazz chops too! Check out geek USA, jellybelly, all the fast ones, you hear those chops come out

[@GC-gb2jv]

When you played the piano part it sounded like Avenged Sevenfold - Warmness on the Soul

[@eboethrasher]

A good band for you to hit up in the shed would be The Cure, just try to avoid Love Song and Friday I'm In Love, maybe go for Pictures of You (video is an edit of the album version that chops off like 2 minutes, sadly) or Just Like Heaven or Inbetween Days, those are all songs that are more of the classic Cure sound. Also, Depeche Mode: Strangelove, Enjoy The Silence, World In My Eyes, Walking in My Shoes, Behind The Wheel If you really want to go down a rabbit hole, I would suggest Cocteau Twins: Heaven or Las Vegas (Unfortunately the video is an edit of the album version), Iceblink Luck, Carolyn's Fingers, or Aikea Guinea. Just know that you will not really have words to go from, she uses her voice more as an instrument and changes the pronunciation of words to twist them into sounds rather than words. You might find that concept fascinating to break down as a concept.

[@ChrisAvery]

Oh man. When I was a mid-teen, Siamese Dream was one of my favourite albums, along with Ten and Nevermind. Absolute classic.

[@ChrisAvery]

..also just heard the part where you said "this might be a song that I'd cover.." Yes please!

[@faser1486]

great reaction. SP are my favourite band ever since my dad introduced me into them when i was around 13 yo. finally after so many years i saw them live in 2019 with my dad and bro. so many great memories of them. They have so much heavy stuff but its those slower songs that make them shine. here is a tip for free for you: listen to theri song Mayonaise. You wont be dissapointed. Great job (y)

[@merchermills]

Mayonaise next pleeeaaasse

[@in_differ_ence]

You have been awarded with the GOLD MEDAL, being the first ever Musician reacting to Smashing Pumpkins in the whole youtube world 🍾😎 and picking their best raw song Disarm... loved the reaction fully 😍 And I am positively surprised that you did not -yet- react to Disturbed - Sound of Silence (live from Conan show) 😉 I bet you will love the re-arrangement of this masterpiece 🙏🏻 looking forward...

[@camillejohnson4547]

I love Smashing Pumpkins! Music life! My favorite song of theirs is For Martha

[@cap873]

You should check out their song "Mayonaise". IMO, one of their best! I think you'll dig it!

[@michaelkerdock4076]

Welcome to the world of the mighty Smashing Pumpkins 🎃 not gonna even request a song.. take your pick..any song.. all good and still Making amazing music

[@hah424]

They did a version of Landslide by Fleetwood Mac. Exquisite.

[@49WWFcobianfan]

There cover of Depeche mode's "Never Let me down" is amazing too.

[@el-violador]

This song is so beautiful, tragic but hopeful all at once. To write a song to the people who ruined your childhood saying you will "disarm you with a smile". This song kills me every time Also please do cover this song

[@GoranVinko]

Yes!

[@ngau450]

You should hear the alternate “electric” version , its fab

[@martywood482]

You really ought to check out the band Movements, they are a newer band from California. Their singer, Pat is unreal, and they have a cool post-hardcore rocky sound. I'd say start with the song Deadly Dull, 12 Weeks, or perhaps Colourblind!

[@temple19198]

i LOVE movements. "Colorblind" by them is the song I play when I need music to make me feel better. Saw them live in 2018. They're amazing. The first song I heard by them was "Protection" and they integrated a piece that was like spoken word. Very beautiful. Music to cry to. I hope he reacts to this band too!

[@JoseTorres-kg9ou]

Deep Red 😀

[@ScarletSho]

Id highly recommend I The Mighty and the song that would represent them very well would be The Lying Eyes of Miss Erray

[@rachelewilken930]

Speaking of unusual instruments, you have to check out the songs on Siamese Dream with the sitar. Billy wanted as many instruments he could get onto the album. Luna is amazing!

[@Ryknow37]

Recently watched your Alter Bridge: Blackbird reaction. My all time favourite song. You must check out Alter bridge - words darker than their wings live. Absolutely amazing and would love to hear your take on it! Much respect

[@PbThunder]

Hey David, awesome video! You should check out Bastille - Flaws Abbey Road Live version. It's got solely a acoustic version with a small orchestra, sounds amazing!

[@johnskeleton8945]

Love this soooooong!!!! 🖤🖤🖤🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@tonymatrisin4328]

Nirvana, Jane's Addiction, Pearl Jam a few great bands

[@WhiskeyFiend]

Homer Simpson - Smiling Politely

[@go234ko96ts5]

Well done video but a sad story behind it. Thanks for posting it.

[@Jeep52l]

You have to check out Smashing Pumpkins - An Ode to No One

[@JoseTorres-kg9ou]

You should check out My Chemical Romance. Gerard and Billy almost sound alike, look similar and Gerard's favorite band is The Smashing Pumpkins. MCR also got to play with the guitarist of Queen in a festival back in 2013? Fun fact Gerard is also related to Joe Rogan. Anyway.. yeah, MCR. Check out Helena. It's "The show stopper", its typically the last song they play at every concert. Helena is also about his late grandmother who passed away, he wrote how he felt, all the anger and feelings he felt (she showed Gerard how to dance, act, draw and sing. She was a major influence in his artistic life). You hear vicious guitars battling back in forth but in a beautiful harmonic way. The song reminded me of when I was 5 my grandmother died. I remember being upset and extremely angry, and angry towards God. Years passed and this song came out. It explained many emotions that helped me heal. Love the videos like always. You're a cool dude man!

[@MusicShed]

Thank you Jose!

[@kathyedleman633]

Try " Cherub Rock" :)

[@wolfftv8223]

dude you gotta check out "Mourning Song" by Holding Absence

[@GoranVinko]

Well done, sir!

[@drahanleagueoflegends9413]

Please check out „Holding Absence - Mourning Song“ They are so underrated!

[@temple19198]

please react to Movements! Their songs "Protection" and "Colorblind" are extremely emotional and unique.

[@broken653]

you should react to black fingernails, red wine cover by polaris it is a metal remake and i think they did an incredible job

[@anthonyv6962]

There is a Joe Rogan podcast with Billy Corgan he talks quite a bit about his childhood. It was quite interesting, his father was a musician/gangster. Ill just leave that here.

[@MusicShed]

I will check that out!

[@kenziepasold3933]

You should react to Starset, I see stars, Plot in you, Landon Tewers, & Highly Suspect (Seratonium)

[@vasilispavlidis4432]

You have to check out Born For One Thing by Gojira ! Their drummer is NUTS !

[@stephaniagarciaespitia1412]

If you liked this one, i suggest you react to "Tonight, tonight" and "1979", both incredibly beautiful, heartfelt songs.

[@MusicShed]

I love 1979!

[@thetheRedundant]

Time for another Smashing Pumpkins review, it’s been too long!

[@ameliaredick3015]

Hey there David! Spiritbox released a new song a few days ago!!!! It’s fire and I wanna know what you think of it

[@todd8414]

You need to listen to Cherub Rock! A great Smashing Pumpkin's song!

[@DynamiteProd]

[@angdamimongsht2646]

Wow I'm so early I still have my foreskin! Haha neat! 🙂

[@kuroiyama6009]

😂😂

[@MusicShed]

Lolololololol on a Monday morning!!!!

[@Surannhealz]

I completely agree…Billy is a terrible singer if you isolate him. BUT…..his ability to weave the voice into harmony with the other instruments is what I greatly appreciate about him. Siamese Dreams is incredible.

[@MusicShed]

I don’t think he’s terrible at all. I don’t even believe in that word when it comes to music but more so, he doesn’t have a conventionally “beautiful” voice yet he moves so many with it and has such a huge influence. He has the perfect voice to deliver his music.

[@ryanguertin8028]

Strings in rock? Moody Blues?

[@MusicShed]

ELO

[@MrCharlesBiddle]

DEVIN TOWNSEND, PERIPHERY, VEIL OF MAYA AND KILLSWITCH ENGAGE PLEASE!!!
