Smashing Pumpkins; I am One

[@leob4403]

1st song of their 1st album, and it's the perfect punk, rock, metal, alternative, grunge whatever song you could ever hear

[@slantyrock]

Billy is a genius.

[@The_Mansmith]

They're all so fucking good in the song. The solos are amazing, the bass kicks ass, and Jimmy's drumming is unbelievably incredible. you just can't beat his drumming.

[@usernamebada42]

Its funny you should say that. Because they kind of weren't. Jimmy and D'arcy just went through a hard break-up, Jimmy was getting into drugs more heavily, and Billy's depression was rising up. But even in those hard times, they were still all together and rocking.

[@zombeast23]

Smashing Pumpkin The Best

[@CullenX]

Jimmy Chamberlin is such an amazing drummer. He was the only one in the band that Billy respected.

[@brr8275]

What about james

[@munchkinsbs7635]

@@brr8275 they were all beasts, apparently darci told Billy to make his voice higher pitched and weird, if you listen to Gish’s demos his voice changes a lot.

[@KCJAZZ60]

ROCK AND ROLL AT ITS BEST

[@teis79]

I need a time machine to get back to the nineties! Those were great times!!!

[@potatoheadhaoy]

[@DrummerDan973]

Jimmy Chamberland rules on the drums!

[@wabio]

Oh yeah. He is some sort of quick.

[@TomSawyerLost]

James Joseph "Jimmy" Chamberlin

[@marciocouto3543]

fuckin' beast.

[@marciocouto3543]

that bass line is fuckin' amazing.

[@skeeter197140]

Saw these guys on this tour. They were awesome. Except Corgan insisted on picking a fight with a guy with a mustache. And a guy with his hat on backwards.

[@TheFobster]

damn, they were such a tight band at this point. they're all together, you can tell.

[@Federicoiopicozzi]

Billy is a great guitarist to!

[@lecraniac]

Haha, guy dives in TOOL tshirt! 1994!! you're fabulous!

[@ajax214_]

Times come and times go but James is still the prettiest member in the band

[@MarkTitus420]

Wonder what Jimi Hendrix would have thought of Billy Corgans musicianship. Just a thought.

[@caneut]

*Bass solo* o shit, it's about to go hard, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" O SHITTTTT

[@kenscapes]

Whew! And I thought I was the only one going to pumpkin and tool shows in 93/94... I.ll have to check out that I heart radio gig, thanks.

[@thetroller121]

holy crap they literally just played the beginning of this song on the part where the game goes into the ads on the friggin superbowl! that made my day :)

[@jude2665]

Billy has a pretty cool shirt on. LOL:) Awesome song

[@mruncommon1]

this sounds so funky here!

[@abc15003]

1:16 TOOL T-SHIRT, FTW

[@EntropyUniverse]

Obviously, pretty early on. I heard him sing good live, once. But most of the time, it sounded like this.

[@mistresselyria]

[@tntblue61]

Billy Corgan sure could play back then...damn, they all could!

[@derekdamned1]

gish is awesome albumj

[@Nordavind1709]

[@danielmrtns]

I have feelings for a lot of girls!! But I'll add her to my list too.

[@neilperrin6409]

I WANT METRO -93 SO MUCH!! I need it all...

[@rulesetc66]

Raw! I like it!

[@MewCun]

That was cool! I wish I could find the London, Astoria version of I Am One again though. I think it was from the same performance as Soma on the Viewphoria vid.

[@Riversofash]

I AM ONE AS YOU ARE *three*

[@grungetea]

jajaja no tenía ni idea de que billy corgan era tan buen guitarrista xDDD

[@neilperrin6409]

God I fucking want this show...Metro 1993...I need it.

[@ninomediera1706]

Once upon a time when billy corgan had hair

[@bjthepumpkinguy]

UNBELIEVABLY SMASHING!

[@copaceticunleaded4390]

The guitar he plays on this video was stolen years ago and he said that he would pay $20,000 for the safe return of the guitar so if anybody knows where the guitars is and wants to make some quick cash help the guy out

[@blisterbrain]

He got it back, the reward was refused.

[@eduardo0796]

It's not this guitar.

[@surike]

Its not this one his gish guitar is yellow

[@cratus90]

epic! billy super!

[@Cguy7]

Fucking TOOL :D

[@timothyh8623]

[@Saeru]

[@smashing_pumpkins_cover_band]

fantastic! we've coverd this song!

[@TheChevy0]

Never, he sounds even better live now, just watch their iHeart Radio performance from last month.

[@shb1978]

Thank you so much. I remember recording this show to my tape recorder from TV back in 1994. I still got some song from the same show stuck in my head. It was kinda psychedelic moment when Billy sang something like "Nothing... gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing" in silence. Can you tell what's the song is?

[@samwilson2046]

I’m nine years late but I believe that is from another performance of I am one that you should be able to find pretty easily on KZbin.

[@BalloonRace]

I have the whole Astoria show on VHS. This ism't from it. I'm pretty sure this is from the Metro in 93

[@sambrandt3]

It is

[@zerosoma33]

well, it's JBTV which means it's out of Chicago. So yeah it's probably a Metro performance.

[@hopelesserik13]

i think the ones your talking about are on the Vieuphoria dvd

[@derekdamned1]

This was there early beginnings shit goes down hill once they all start getting rich seen it plenty of times

[@dario9493]

[@gcheq]

Anyone else notice that rage's Guerilla radio sounds really similar to the bass riff here? Tom Morello must be a Smashing Pumpkins fan haha. Both are fantastic songs though.

[@jaimeflor4181]

Both songs are in the same key and use the notes/chords E5, F#5, A5 and B5.

[@clocktowerhill8760]

When music was...

[@zombeast23]

Pop Evil Pearl Jam

[@damned_1]

This is what I was listening to in the 90’s, kids!! Gish is still my bitch. Lol 😝

[@huschusser]

[@chrishmmm2202]

[@p8eit]

[@MeltyLove13]

[@coltsuperocean10]

[@zombeast23]

Megadeth Metallica Kings x Static x

[@pillottatore]

m.e. gary numan

[@muzzle999]

Everybody sounds great... Except B to the C Organ Sell Out First class. WOW!

[@moosjer]

ALLES KAPOT MAKEN

[@vicious5115]

haha james cant sing

[@leob4403]

It's because it's really hard to play the riff and sing that melody at the same time, only left-handers like Billy can pull that shit off

[@vicious5115]

i guess that's true

[@rjtkoh]

Leo B er...billy's right handed

[@leob4403]

rjtkoh no he's not

[@rjtkoh]

Leo B this video, and every other, clearly shows him strumming with his right hand, which makes him a right handed guitar player.

[@eldoabrahamson]

Annoying vocal level = 10/10.

[@MPetrozzaIsGod]

@dalecampbl8 Nope! He can't...He sure can whine though and his whining ass made the best group of his era. Not too bad, right? You find a better band from this genre and I'll show you a liar.

[@Keigen12]

poco figa la bassista devo dire ahah
