Smashing Pumpkins - Rhinoceros - London 1991 PRO TV Master

[@ruination775]

These guys really had it all happening, and IMO. Still do. From dreamy Shoegaze, Balladry, to heavy Metal SABBATH Riffage. The complete package. Always.

[@ruination775]

Always the complete Package 🙂

[@Faks.09]

Punk? I thought they never had punk influences, like a lot of "grunge" bands, like nirvana and soundgarden

[@Faks.09]

Also noise rock with machinas

[@JacksonPolyp]

Corgan specifically disavowed any punk influence and that's about right. The pumpkins picked up arena rock where punk left it in the dust in the 70s and then reinvented it for a new generation.

[@cass2303]

Best band in the world.

[@greghicks5960]

I am absolutely mesmerized by D'Arcy during this era.

[@vdoza33]

Some of Jimmy’s finest drumming in my opinion. Always loved this song. Such a unique vibe as opposed to their other songs.

[@ChristopherJ655]

It's because he's a classicaly trained jazz drummer. Gives them a cool sound

[@vdoza33]

@@ChristopherJ655 their sound can’t single-handedly be accredited to Jimmy Chamberlain. Especially their singles. You have to give credit to both guitar of Billy and James. Darcy gets the least music cred in this group.

I wish they made more records like gish, the instrumental power in the songs is what makes it a masterpeice

[@bbaltizar70]

Great song writing and Butch Vig knew how get hey 6 everything out of the band. Gish is masterpiece in my opinion.

[@strace67]

agreed! It doesn't get better than this. They sorta faltered after this .... but freakin a this was so good

[@Motownisyourtown]

@@strace67 Faltered? Huh? Gish is a fantastic album but you can definitely hear the lack of refinement in the songwriting. And when comparing this to their later work this was an artist precursor for Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie which are far superior albums. And while someone may prefer Gish, to say they faltered after it when they came out with two of the best rock albums of the 90's is just laughable bullshit.

[@crypttonite]

yeah u can’t be surprised by real musicians not wanting to repeat this is their purest when they seemed like a new bunch of flower kids, they were not tho. all bands r 1 trick ponies, some have very big tricks

[@knevil753]

100%. i love Siamese dream and pisces. but this album is raw

This is one of the clearest videos I’ve seen of the pumpkins from this era. Very nice!👍🏼

[@concept1027]

Jimmy "I was born a 45 year old" Chamberlin on the skins.

[@revolutionday1]

He's got reverse-Benjamin Button's disease....

[@PaulDowsettUK]

I saw this when it was broadcast. Gish is the album I've listened to more than any other. It always sounds fresh, powerful and unique. An absolute classic.

[@Spookje09]

I remember hearing Gish when it was released. I was blown away , and especially by Chamberlain's drumming. He was a feral, yet precise animal on the kit. I love the pushing and pulling of his untamed playing on that record. The snare he used (a Pearl free-floating) just blitzed through the songs. He is Keith Moon meets Buddy Rich that somehow works in an 'arty' band like the Pumpkins. Fucking brilliant playing that most likely catapulted the Pumpkins from local to worldwide fame. Had they some shlepper that had no chops, the songs would, undoubtedly, not have been nearly as exciting. Saw them on the Gish tour in Miami Beach in a tiny little club that I believe there's footage of here on YT. What a great time to be 20/21!!

[@UltimateToast99]

Truth. Pumpkins would be a footnote in alt rock history without Jimmy.

[@gracetyla6252]

This band is one of the only bands I havent seen live that I wish I had. I sat outside a concert in Melbourne, Australia when I was 16, in 96, because, why not, wasn't doing enything else that night but didn't have a ticket. Mayonaise and Rhinocerous are my 2 favourite ever songs now I'm in my 40s. Always just loved their sound. ❤

[@rarto34677]

​@@gracetyla6252they are still touring now.

[@Hilaire_Balrog]

Gosh, i remember thast tour. Same here in Houston. I was supposed to go see them play a small bar here and got sick or something and missed it. Still kick myself for that. Next show, after they got big, Billy ended early as idiots were throwing stuff onto the stage.

[@karlak6715]

You lucky man❤

[@arista6724]

Yesterday I went out with one of my best friends, the plan was to go for a walk in a flea market (tianguis) and from there go to a park, but before going to the market, she took out weed and we smoked a couple of times, by the time we got to the market we already felt the effects, when we got to the park she took it out again and we smoked more, and I couldn't think of anything else but laying on the grass and playing this song loud on my headphones, and I can say that it was a totally immersive experience. I felt as if my heart was keeping the rhythm of the song, as if I was walking, and in the heaviest parts I felt that the guitars disintegrated my body, it was incredible

[@Andre-zv9ci]
