The Smashing Pumpkins [Disarm Live on MTV Most Wanted with Ray Cokes 1993]

[@jasonvanorsdol1755]

I stayed up through ridiculously long commercial breaks waiting to hear this live. I'm fortunate to have seen this in real time.

[@darklumin]

I was 36 when this came out and now I’m 17. Smashing Pumpkins will forever be a classic ❤

@@darklumin you went from being 36 in 1993 to 17 now, ageing in reverse

[@Rayray0802]

Wait, I was a 2 when this came out and now I'm 31. I'm so confused lol

[@davidmurray2539]

Actual chills listening to this. I grew up in The Beatles era but I swear this man and this band, from the outset, have and continue to, create the most powerful, evocative, and brilliant music and lyrics of my lifetime.

[@FightingRimbaud]

90’s were the best. From a kids perspective, no distractions from tech outside of the tv set, just the music and riding in the back of cars waiting for your favorite songs to be played, watching the scenery.

[@paulofurtado1433]

No filters, no autotune, just a voice, a guitar and a bass

[@myautobiographyafanfic1413]

I get the sentiment, but Corgan's voice is like a tuned pencil sharpener.

[@carnicorn7318]

@@myautobiographyafanfic1413 it was recorded before creating autotune(1993 record, autotune appeared in 1997 ). But the sound is really strange

[@myautobiographyafanfic1413]

@@carnicorn7318 if you know autotune (or other pitch correction) you'd know it wouldn't fix his voice. I think his pitch is pretty good actually, I know he had perfect pitch at one point.

[@Mahoney51]

It's probably the best live disarm performance ever! Even though he mixed up voice and choice.

[@StopCappingMan]

Agreed. But let's be real... aren't those two words just one in the same here? Real music. Much love to you.

[@kirkdouglass7266]

He used both in the first and second choruses in the studio recording albeit choice and voice were first and second courses respectively on the album version. He can also do whatever he wants because it's his song.

[@scottyboy7462]

This is one my favorite live performances of all time (any band). another is Alanis Morissette on letterman- i believe her first tv appearance in America- i think 96? also amazing

[@TheDustinbowman003]

Woodstock with the crowd is great too

This melancholic felling, gives me great solace to my soul.

[@Riffmaster227]

Not to mention infinite sadness.

[@Untoldnewsuk]

That's cos this song is about him being anally raped as a small boy. It's a shame the truth of humanity isn't told

This is everything a band should be...

when music was real talent back in the 90's

[@sketta.]

it still is

[@karinaf8326]

It was very competitive since there were so many rock bands. Plus people used to buy physical records so record companies were more focused on signing up real talented artists.

[@Curly_Toes]

There is no shortage of real talent in today's music. If you think otherwise then the problem is in the way you find new music.

[@davidjenkins6626]

If you don’t think there are talented bands these days, then not sure what music you’re listening to

Wow I’ve heard this song hundreds of times but I never heard him singing it with raw vocals and no effects. Great 👍

[@TadhgKav]

Brings me back to a girl I knew nearly a decade ago…such a beautiful woman/such a sad story. Think about her more often than I should when this song comes on. Fuck what would I give to turn back the hands of time to see that face again.
