Smashing Pumpkins "Thru the Eyes of Ruby": Billy Corgan masterpiece

[@matthewcarlton5693]

This is clearly Billy Corgan's masterpiece. The drumming from Chamberlain is the essential heart of the matter.

I agree my friend totally 😊👍

There is a live version on KZbin from a Brixton show in the 1990s. It is a much harder version, and amazing the live hard version and the studio version work perfectly, with the studio version more "pink floyd" like you stated. In the live version Chamberlain is a blur of arms banging the drums. @@alan-reacts65

Thats my tune phone calls for a long time....

[@alan-reacts65]

That’s a good ring tone 😎👍 and a great choice

[@TheSiameseDreamer]

The whole album is a masterpiece

This is my absolute favorite song from the smashing pumpkins, this song makes me happy and sad at the same time...I could hear it over and over and never get tired of it.

[@Endimione17]

ultimate song... so epigrammatic, so longing and desperate and blissing

Billy Corgan described Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness to the press as The Wall for Generation X, and inducted Pink Floyd to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as he is a fan himself

Ive never thought of the lyrics so contrasting. So true. What seems to be reward and beauty and love, from Another perspective can be entrapment, fear and sadness. Wow. Been listening to this song for almost 30 years

I just think as we as individuals evolve emotionally intellectually etc songs change for us .. I do need and will be going back to the pumpkins soon 😊

One of the best prog rock songs ever

[@alan-reacts65]

I’m just fascinated by the structure of the music the lyrics the sounds .. and the meaning ..

[@TheSiameseDreamer]

What a fantastic reaction

[@alan-reacts65]

I’m very happy you enjoyed 😊👍😎

WPC doesn’t get the credit he deserves as a song writer especially

[@glenjohnson9128]

So appreciate and relate to your point of view and experience of this. I have an unfair advantage as this is compositionally my favorite SP song... wish he never made it seem like a gothic proposal song, else it would have been perfect.

[@alan-reacts65]

Perfection is a bad outcome ! Le Can warns that if you achieve it ! Then all you have left is nothing 😳😊👍

[@thannaske5371]

Good one, Alan! However, I prefer the first album, "Gish," for the hypnotic guitar weaves. Listen to "I Am One," or "Rhinocerous" for righteous guitar attack! Thanks again!

[@alan-reacts65]

Noted my friend ! Noted 😎😊👍

[@matthewcarlton5693]

The coda is absurd as well.
