Smashing Pumpkins - Silverfuck (HQ) Pinkpop 1994

[@BehaviorModification]

Maybe one day Jimmy Chamberlin will receive the honor he's due as one of the most profoundly talented drummers ever to grace this planet.

[@bz8547]

I 💯 % agree Jimmy was the shit

[@RKSidd]

Jimmy is the Bonham of pumpkins

[@christinelikeschrysanthemums]

Jimmy Chamberlain is extraordinary. Love that groove at the end of this song.

[@mcpu40]

this is a proper comment

[@TheLordGoat]

never

[@TheLordGoat]

Most underrated drummer ever, literally.

[@cleoz9274]

He's actually always (well, since the 90's) been considered one of the best drummers in rock history. So I don't really know who's underrating him.

[@TheLordGoat]

Cléo Z I"m not sure who "considered" him one of the best either. Who considered him?

[@cleoz9274]

Gore Elohim He's number 53 on the greatest drummers of all time list, according to this year's Rolling Stone "100 Greatest Drummers of All Time". However despite the name, the list mostly includes rock, pop and funk drummers (no jazz).

[@cleoz9274]

Gore Elohim Plus I heard his name mentioned many times in interviews by either other drummers or other musicians as the greatest 90's drummer many times before.

[@Zappappappappa]

Gore Elohim I believe Chamberlain and Carey from TOOL are the best modern day drummers.

[@billbob409]

Tom Morello is head banging in the background between 8:13 and 8:26. That just shows how awesome this performance is Rage were playing there that year

[@Goofytyler]

Damn! That’s crazy to see

[@williamjohnson705]

Some say that man is still crowd surfing to this day

[@northbeachfilms]

best youtube comment in history.

[@brandonherndon4394]

For years I heard Smashing Pumpkins fans go on and on about how great a drummer Jimmy Chamberlin is but I never thought he was all that great... until seeing this video, that is. Jesus. He's a fucking monster.

[@joeg1582]

Jazz trained, then let out of his cage.

[@brandonherndon4394]

Aphelion819 Exactly. Exhibit A) Ginger Baker

[@bjrnsjlstad7578]

Yes, he is

[@greeklamb]

Billy: You guys I've got a great idea! Let's play one of our fastest and most intense songs ever written, only what do you say we play it 3 times faster and more intense?

[@craigm2520]

This is what I imagine cocaine feels like

[@daspoohmunich7235]

​@craigm2520 it's exactly what cocaine feels like 👍🏿

[@TRUMP-2024-STF]

I love this song. Smashing Pumpkins drummer is the greatest drummer to come out of the 90s. No one comes close to this guy. No one. Am I estimation Smashing Pumpkins is top three bands along with Pearl Jam and Alice In Chains to come out of the 90s.

[@ryanjohnson9838]

I was there - and I will never forget it. Some of this transcends music. It's pure, condensed, risky energy and bare emotion. A unique moment in time. I thought I over-estimated how great this performance was. Thank you for posting the video. It's nice to know that it really was an amazing moment.

[@JTGemini3]

That is awesome. I can only imagine.

[@chelseacleary8808]

What an experience that must have been! The Pumpkins' tempo changes are the best in the art! No one can do a breakdown and build-up on the level the Pumpkins can! The emotion is unrivaled!

[@WarmothGuitarist]

You don't see bands on this level anymore. From a powerful acoustic driven song to an all out psychedelic metal...these guys could do it all

[@goldenhourkodak]

Yes you do.

[@cuteasxtreme]

No you don't. Look at that crowd reaction at 7:03, I can't name a band that can get a response like that nowadays.

[@bbqbum0077]

@@goldenhourkodak Connor please tell us where we can see a show/festival with this much energy and NO cell phones!!!!!!???? We will be here waiting for your response.........🤔

[@bbqbum0077]

@@cuteasxtreme Couldn't agree with you more piggy! Unfortunately it's because the industry is stuck in this pop culture/rap bullshit. It's too easy to make music nowadays with a loop machine. Kids these days don't want to put in the time it takes to play like Billy and others. Most would rather play video games and make loops on thier PC's. You don't need talent anymore, just a catchy beat and chorus will sell records. Maybe one day, real music will make a comeback. I'm just glad I was able to experience the 80's and 90's. Also that I was able to play gigs without everyone on thier cell phones.

[@cuteasxtreme]

@@bbqbum0077 I disagree with that. In fact the only shows that people really go crazy at nowadays are electronic shows and for good reason, a lot of that music is totally wild. Rock is in a lull because no one is really innovating and it's fallen into the old people music category. Hip hop also is pretty huge now but when many big rappers just lazily rap along to a track the shows don't get very exciting...

[@alexmalch]

5:47 Robert Plant mode

[@jumpinjoe88]

I'm so glad that they upgraded from a drum machine to a DRUM CYBORG.

[@dannykarbon1936]

This is the best live performance I’ve ever seen. Hands down.

[@kakashihatake6176]

Love hate love in the moore theatre,pearl jam in pinkpop,and soundgarden in motorvision are absolute badass live performances too

[@AnthonyD1986]

I showed my friend this video the other day and he said specifically this " You'll never see this now and days ". So damn true. Pumpkins had so much talent. I miss shit like this so much. 90's were the best.

[@lakshaygunawat9739]

this is one of the most engaging live performances. i literally envy those lucky people present in that crowd. its is such a great band.

[@courtbeall7768]

That was one of the greatest LIVE performances of of the era.

[@barbarino2000]

I will watch these Pumpkin videos from Pinkpop twice a year for the rest of my life.

maybe the best fucking performance of any song I have ever heard

Freakin' stoned, I was there, some 20m upfront to the left of the stage! Love how Billy played and teased us here...he knew exactly when he won us over, @7:17

The most influential band of my life!!!!

[@Brian-vv1ut]

The entire Siamese Dream album is a got dayumn masterpiece!

[@DistortedFaiths]

Now that's what I call awesome experimentation. You know that its great considering how into the music he and the whole band is, which creates a dynamic for their sound. From my perspective as a musician, the entire basis of their sound just makes it completely easier to get into and experiment with.

[@freepressright]

James Iha - the most forgotten guitar player from this era.

[@nathang7244]

7:15 that was one super nasty fill jimmy, damn!

[@QuarantineThePast]

LIIIIAAAARRR!!! Someone tell me how you can scream in such an unholy way.

[@CaptainLog]

Billy Corgan deserves credit as one of the greats.

[@Teknopuls3]

Seriously, someone name another band in the last 30 years that can touch the artistic style that SP had in the 90s.

[@ShroomRPG]

Tool, Radiohead, Soundgarden, The pixies and Sonic youth just to name a few.

[@ShroomRPG]

***** What the fuck, SP were pretty heavily influenced by the pixies and youth, claiming something is pretentious is just a fancy way of saying you don't understand it.

[@ShroomRPG]

***** So the fact that I play Pokemon implies that i'm not intelligent?

[@ShroomRPG]

***** So you're making ridiculous assumptions about my intelligence based on my interests and you're not even going to elaborate on your reasoning. I think we know which one of us isn't intelligent.

[@ShroomRPG]

***** You still haven't backed up your ridiculous assumption with any evidence or opinion.

[@praisethefirstborn6226]

As Crazy talented and good as Billy and Jimmy sound it wouldn't even be half as good without darcy and James, gotta give them some credit. (:

[@65neu52]

100% fact. The pure Pumpkins chemistry only exists with the original 4 members.

[@aarontorrealba3615]

There were a lot of amazing female bassists ruling the 90s and D'arcy was one of them. She was overwhelmingly talented, charismatic and didn't go unnoticed whenever she had to perform. Not to mention she was incredibly beautiful. What a woman!

[@jasoncorganbrown]

Seeing this in 2013 it only solidifies my assumption at the time that we were living in a musical renaissance. Can't wait for the next one!

[@JDawg8733]

00:28 Billy must have caught a nice post nasal drip there

[@marcelvandervelden3081]

[@jocorocket]

one of the best rock songs ever...right up there with 3 Days by Janes Addiction

[@ohplezz]

I really miss those days. Music today is a shadow of itself compared to then.

[@coma718ny]

I like to come back and watch this video at least once a year. Brings me right back. 94 was my freshman year in HS. I feel lucky to have been a teen during these years of amazing music!! This is one of my favorite live performances ever. And probably my favorite song from SD, along with Geek USA

I’ve been coming back to this video every so often since I was 14. It still fucking rips just as much as it did then. Jimmy Chamberlin is the greatest drummer of all time.

Jimmy has a Jazz background. In fact jazz drumming takes more skills and precise timing than some speed metal bands. The two greatest drummers I have seen live are Jimmy and Vinnie Paul from Pantera. But I may be biased because they are both my favorite bands of all time.
