Smashing Pumpkins - ZERO - Live Germany 1996

[@carlhicksjr8401]

The Pumpkins were one of those bands [like the Pixies, the Eagles, and so many others] that were hideously dysfunctional, but when they could all stand to be in the same room with each other they were post-punk magic.

[@RandyRhoadsRules3]

Carl Hicks Jr they’re not post punk.

[@SS-gx7tg]

Post punk? what the? SP were many things but certainly nothing remotely resembling post punk

[@touchandgod]

Corgan at this time was a hell of a live presence. And the song itself is brilliant, evil swagger all through.

[@oxrjbizzle1984y]

love the guitar sound for this song, simple to play but so effective, the octaves sound so badass! i love when billy wrote real heavy songs like this...

[@brojuiceunderfoot5765]

Every heavy pumpkins song is awesome

[@UndercoverNormie]

Mellon Collie was such a crowning achievement for this band. It covered beautiful, sad, heavy... basically all the emotions. Third album I ever purchased at the ripe old age at 9 years old. Still listen to it regularly lol

[@TheWolfblade87]

That scream on "...JUST LIKE MEEE!" is just beautiful. It gave me chills...

[@BrunoFuzz]

I need that Zero shirt, like ,sooo much *-*

[@alanlloyd450]

Best song they ever did

[@xiaochicash]

So beautifully twisted.

[@coachNewman17]

So many amazing songs from the 90's that bands today can't even come close to. Dead Sara has that raw energy from the 90's

[@USAisNoLongerFree]

Wanna go for a ride?

[@curiousdave]

Think that'll be my new pick-up line

[@sebastian_ghoxt]

they are so cool,,the original band was really perfect

[@lauragiurovich]

That riff is just fucking hypnotizing. So powerful.

[@TheMinderasor]

I remember hearing this for the first time in the mid 90's and thinking how amazing the part is where he goes "intoxicateeeeeed with madness! I'm in love with my sadness"

[@zappaballoon]

its not always about skill. its about feeling, and that magic click. james and d'arcy and jimmy all contributed to the unique sound that billy created. if you watch live videos of him now he looks like a shell with no soul.

[@danielschwab8260]

Time to revisit this 14 years later. Now he seems like a shell of a shell.

[@umumgot]

james iha's soloing is amazing here, 2 of the best guitrists ever who can bith solo very well and play amazing harmonizing riffs in the same band!

[@Neuromantic_86]

Just think when this was uploaded '96 wasnt that long ago.... damn we're getting old

[@musicweirdo1]

i used to listen to them alot, but i haven't listened to them in a while then i came across my dad's old CD of them & started listening to em again haha i'm in love with this band now i love the guitar in this :] Smashing Pumpkins is deff. one the best =]

[@benjones1324]

Oh yes, I love this band, d'arc y

[@austin-on4rk]

love the scream at 1:21 so much

[@franohmsford7548]

Emptiness is loneliness and loneliness is cleanliness and cleanliness is godliness and god is empty JUST LIKE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

[@suzybearheart530]

So primal!

[@vominator1]

this song comes with my hole life-and im still loving it!! great perfomance "wanna go for a ride?"

[@BigDan2KC9]

Billy is way too underrated in terms of guitar skills.

[@cexo123]

The best line up ever.

[@burtmcaster4739]

Who ever ran their board always mixed everyone perfectly.

[@Kudell46and2]

D'arcy is on fire on this song!

[@AudioslaveRATM123]

you can actually hear D'arcy!

[@ashjamie]

This is one of my favorites!! Love the Pumpkins! Great choice, Mikey!

[@christurkthebrave]

love how he says 'only' at the end. awesome performance.

[@187onasimp]

This must have been the rare time Billy had D'arcy's mic turned on.

[@mychemicalpumpkins21]

I LOVE SP!!!!

[@donnasRock323]

im in love with that chrome dome madness

[@MiszzMiszz]

i love that energy

[@CaptainLokii]

i love this song so much thanks Mikey

[@MatticusFinch1820]

D'arcy

[@Bombtrack411]

This is my fave SM song.

[@christurkthebrave]

great passion by corgan as always. really got into the song.

[@ANIMEMANGA014]

nice song of the day mikey!

[@aadrianaKnows]

I FREAKING LOVE SP! & this song is just awesome :D

[@xVAMPIIxMCRx]

wow amazing song thanks Mikey

[@mattalgrand]

The peak of the Pumpkins hating each other (circa ‘96 to ‘98) also coincided with the peak of the Pumpkins as a live band. The simmering rage is vibrating off their instruments.

[@flyinglemoncentral]

omg i was only one year old in 1996 :O Good one Mikey!

[@videogameguitar-matt]

@Joee1257 i laught at people who diss machina, it had some of the best pumpkins songs, just a shame corgan released an album after that. i'll never be happy until james and darcy are back, yes i know im a tool but i can still hope and it doesn't take much thought to realize all the people who think SP never broke up are just corrupting the dream, smashing pumpkins were the deepest band i've ever heard, they are sadly missed, if i was told i could have sp back or live 5 years longer i'd choose sp

[@losmononos]

he's fucking great, and very sensitive, but i adore all the songs, and the heavy ones rocks!

[@FroylanRuiz1]

OMG THE SCREAMS!!! :D

[@rpreciado331]

YOU RULE!!!!!!!!

[@iloveparkwaydrive92]

my favorite part.... 0:00 - 2:42

[@iceman992992]

Iha can play at whatever speed he feels .. corgan too .. and you get no say in it!!!

[@pianoman8765]

Thanks Mikey :D

[@MJP474]

Now is the time for the ride

[@abunch41]

i love you!!!!!!!

[@gusmoff91]

Best reply ever? Yes...yes it is

[@dime1046]

sooo epic

[@dance4lifenow]

la velocidad y la duraciòn del tema me hace acordar a los ramones XD Que bueno que ahora voy a poder ir a ver Smashing Pumpkins en Argentina en Noviembre ♫♥

[@DaisyDinosaur]

Aha good one Mikey. The Smashing Pumpkins rule! And this is an amazing song

[@kainaGreen]

=O i love this songgg *o*

[@padaza]

he says you blame yourself for what you cant ignore you blame yourself fro wanting more

[@colinrickels201]

This was back when they were amazing live!! Billys voice faded as he gained the weight

[@Space_math.engineer]

billy's getting old

[@uhhhmaeve]

@ProbableFiction Gerard is the lead singer of a post-hardcore band called My Chemical Romance.

[@UmbrellasSpy]

I wish I had more hands so I could give this video 4 thumbs up.

[@thisisapopsong9661]

D'arcy look so cute. And I feel this song really brings out her personality.

[@brianjames2580]

rad!!!epic!!!

[@metallica67ful]

oh i wish they were still a band

[@yourpainismygain]

YESSSSSS/

[@jazarraonandia]

@TwoThousandVoices this was a month b4 i was born!

[@WoodRatGirl]

Ah thx Szeven85 ;)

[@lucassotelo5709]

The one for me

[@poltergystt]

i luv smahing pumpkins ty mikey fucken way XD

[@mcdonogh13]

I fucking love D'arcy Wretzky

[@TomasScP91]

If people ever ask you to give them a definition of alternative rock just give them the link to this video.

[@WoodRatGirl]

I still want Billy's Zero shirt.

[@fleurdupommier]

@Joee1257 Hmm. Why is it an insult if Billy is the founding member of the band? If he is the one who is responsible for writing the songs? Have you even listened to their latest releases? Zeitgeist may have been a little weaker when compared to the preceding albums but the Kaleidyscope stuff is really good.

[@nymousschizophrenia5067]

pooooooooooorrra caralhooooooooo 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍💙💙💙💙😍😍😍

[@monstrosgigantes3151]

Saudades desta formação

[@quietrune]

it's just a quick slide over 2 frets with some rather deft ebow skills. jeff (or anyone) could do it, but it's james's "signature" playing that he's not aiming to rip off. james can't really play as dynamically as jeff when it comes down to it. add a little color to your spectrum.

[@TiffanyChohfi]

anyone know what effect pedal he is using there? is it the digitech whammy?

[@mauricetomas]

The drums sound so big and Jimmy plays so soft!

[@scarecrow8515]

JUST LIKE MEEEEEEEEE

[@tandbergj]

james iha is fucking mint in this...

[@ThisIsCrystal]

finally :D smashing pumpkins

[@Szeven85]

go to cafepress, i bought one off there

[@losmononos]

si, la conozco ,

[@donnasRock323]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!! yes!

[@dowdy17]

@Joee1257 Saw them live last week, they were incredible. Not the same but still awesome

[@B_rye8]

What is this song talking about, I never got to the point about that. I never actually thought about it before. Can someone tell me?

[@Bombtrack411]

Oh, woops. I meant SP (smashing pumpkins).

[@92DropDead]

@ROBLOXiansRejct666 it is about a strange number called zero.

[@uhhhmaeve]

@badmagick1234 MCR isn't emo, they're post-hardcore

[@videogameguitar-matt]

@fleurdupommier the kaleidascope stuff sucks his mixes give the impression that his ears gave finally succumbed as all pro giging musicians ears do at some point, and he was originally a grunger lol so loud music was a must.

[@metalheadkev10]

@badmagick1234 well MRC were infulenced to start a band after seeing the pumpkins live so if anything gerard way copied billy

[@benihana360]

cool D'arcy was wearing a zero shirt! and her singing wasnt so bad

[@Camman2435]

FOR WANTING MORE!!!! (P.S its You blame your self for wanting more)

[@JLennonOno]

You filmed your TV ?

[@HalvLion]

@Ramonez114 check out ava ador music video, he totally looks like voldemort there :D

[@megamanthehitman]

billy felt the pain when he did that scream xD I think he looks like steiwie from family guy

[@Furthest1]

i agree but they really do look alike

[@WoodRatGirl]

Really dako456 or are you just saying that? :P

[@shatteringglass]

are you serious? I mean, I love James and D'Arcy, but come on, we all know they didn't contribute much to the band and anyways the new lineup is awesome, they sound AMAZING live.

[@xritaly]

I know who they are.. but in front of this version they disappear from my mind.

[@airtrecksora333]

yea i also want to know what happend to his hair lol

[@WhenILearnToMilkIt]

@Joee1257 I actually really liked Zeitgest I mean it was no was as good as their first 4 or so albums but it was good. I really hate their new free download stuff, it's terrible

[@tmac8892]

Riff is up there with Jimmy page at his best.

[@MellenBerger]

whatever man...your opinion..I like both bands, and I like this cover, even though I love the original. you must have a weird taste in music if you think evanescence is bad...but whatever..

[@Porcelina777]

@badmagick1234 Doesn't mean they don't look a like.
