Rocket - The Smashing Pumpkins [1993] - Live @ Metro HD.

Bought the new reissue. Sharing with my friends.

[@NineteenEighty8]

People keep commenting on how Billy is smiling weirdly throughout this entire show but if you actually watched the entire thing, his little brother was finally there to see it live and Billy felt proud for the first time ever.

[@starwinksbackfromtheskypit6790]

My oldest brother killed himself to this. We were both Pumpkins fans and I always wondered why this song resonated with him until I read the lyrics. My brother Thor’s life really paralleled with Billy’s life. We have a brother of special needs, a “Spaceboy” and looked after him. I feel he felt his suicide was an act of love even though it was the wrong choice. He always called me “Rock” and that’s what I do. Even in my sorrows I have to choose life... and I shall be free of the voices inside me. Love.

[@willbond]

My youngest brother suffered from mental illness, including depression. I specifically didn't turn him on to this song because I worried how he might take it.

[@charlosgaming42]

So sorry man.

The music sounds so good it's almost like I can physically taste it, there's so much color and richness in their sound, fuckin' unbeliebible dude. No doubt the best song they ever made.

[@drunkviggo7263]

Well said dude

[@nasasaintz5296]

god i wish i had a chance to go to this concert, siamese dream has got to be one of the best albums ever produced. i gotta work on that time machine of mine

totally agree,siamese dream was one of my first cd s with cypress hill black sunday and white zombie la sex album

[@moonontheman1657]

nasa saintz Take me with you!!!!

[@corkydelarge4440]

It was pretty good. My buddy had a bad trip, so we had to leave early. Still a fond memory, unique sound.

[@iditarod4081]

I saw them four times for Siamese it was great every time. Twice at a little dive bar before they got big those are the absolute best, once at the Apollo and once at Lollapalooza. I wish I could have seen some of their later album concerts but I was a refuge from the mid-90s to the mid-2000s

[@claireandt6462]

i think this is the happiest i've seen him on stage

[@PHILLYPHAN5118109]

Probably just woke up from that sleep

[@rhomahno8878]

This is so true... Even though he got annoyed at the crowd for not being quiet, and made a number of snipey comments to the crowd at various stages, I honestly agree with you

[@NineteenEighty8]

His brother was in the audience for the first time plus I think couple songs on this album are about him.

[@sirchess2526]

Billy, what a diva. Lol it's weird.....in a good way. I guess. 😕

[@Cold-Duck]

He knew how tight they sounded! One of their best earlier shows.

[@Cyrillion]

No anti-depressant is strong enough to withstand this beautiful band

[@Btn1136]

Billy Corgan: Challenge accepted.

[@overkill7990]

This song is an anti-depressant to me

[@samiam7342]

they are one of the loudest bands i have ever seen....my ears rang for 3 days afterwards, no joke..............

[@paulgoldstone5203]

Siamese Dream was the soundtrack to my cross country summer + drive 1995 with my trusty Doberman, Queler. Personal top 15+/- complete album productions. Goosebumps still.

[@jaimeflor4181]

The overlapping lead guitar parts in this song are simple, but really cool at the same time.

[@greasyflight6609]

Its music...way more than simple...

Another reason why I miss the 90's so much! 😪

I'm in that pit, somewhere. One of the best nights of my life. It's easy to look back and slag them off, but the music holds up, and at the time this was the best show in town. I'm grateful to have been there - it was awesome.

To love a new band and this down Pop Rock age, also go to the alternative movement Rocks you have the stones. And other bands moving upstairs to The stardom of best in popularity. Get it now and Stick with the life you bravely define. This can't be miss informed. Be what our lives be the free world.

I love James Iha's part from 2:40 to 3:03

[@rumourhats]

Too bad his guitar is mixed really low on this recording.

[@OssianPosse]

We had fun back then!

[@tylervancho1516]

Chamberlain is so underrated

I don't think it's underrated. In fact it's considered by many one of the best drummers in rock.

[@brittscott4673]

SP was really at their peak in their prime at this time. I saw them at Lollopwlooza in93-94 for Pisces Iscariot that was an album of B sides they released before Melancholy. They were really great live and Billy got upset with the crowd at this concert too. He went offstage and people started leaving thinking it was over and he came back on and played another half hour. All the people in the back were able to move closer to the stage including myself . It was actually a good thing Billy got angry at the crowd ultimately.LOL

[@Brinta3]

Lucas G Indeed he did, but D’Arcy has an amazing live sound. Definitely my favourite SP bassist.

[@drumtracksdirect]

Hmm, not the best bassist, but "the" bassist and best backing vocalist. Her murmerings down the mic are just right.

[@georgial6398]

the only Pumpkins bassist

[@SuperYockster]
