I'm so glad I was in my early 20s and capable of understanding wtf was going on with the Seattle Music Scene late 80s early 90s....I will always carry "the torch" because afterall.... God Loves Grunge!!! Est. 1966

[@shane34lv]

Jeff Brenes Well they didn't have many good ones...sorry but im no fan of corgan...he knowingly fucked cobains wife

[@POPNDOUGH]

Agreed. This was actually the second SP song I liked(after Rhinoceros), but being a poor college student I held off buying Gish for months since I didn't want to waste my money if there was only one good song on the album. Of course, Drown wasn't on that album like I thought, but luckily the whole album was amazing. ->Shane: I'm pretty sure Corgan, and Love were going out before she even met Kurt.

[@uzumaki6759]

Not much people knows this but Chris Cornell helps on getting this song in on the movie. It was shocking to know that Cornell have interest in pumpkins music.

[@creekandseminole]

I had someone tell me that they hate songs with long feedback parts. They said it's annoying. They were also upset that bands didn't sound exactly the same when they were playing live. Obviously this was a much much younger person than me who totally didn't grow up listening to Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr lol.

[@tonya2524]

I still remember my friend hating the last 4 minutes of the song - "BUT THAT'S THE BEST PART!!!" I would tell him.

God, it was like 93 or 94 when I heard this. I was in LA at the time and moved to SC. It was a revelation. Best part was that I was ahead of the curve. I knew it was coming. God bless the Grunge.

[@wouldntyouliketoknow8904]

SO fucking jealous you were alive and old enough to appreciate the 90's. I was born in 93 and I wish I had experience the 90's as a young adult. Wouldn't care if I'd be old now. Singles was a great movie, and I am am envious when my boyfriend talks about his days having fun in the 90's... the days before 9/11. They'll never be back.

[@thedudeabides4829]

I was born in 80 & even though I grew up listening to AIC, Nirvana, Jane's Addiction etc... i was too young to go to shows and experience them live. Although the music was an escape from my f'd up childhood & lack of parental guidance.

[@TheLuv4tankian]

Yessir! Forever with me and in my heart.❤❤

[@bjones8470]

Atomic Girl the first time I heard this song was live in 90-91. The girl in the record store played Gish for me and I I bought tickets immediately. Saw them twice again in 93 and twice in 95. It was an amazing time for concerts and music. I was fortunate enough to see all of these great bands Nirvana, Sound Garden, Alice In Chains and a ton more spent the first half of the decade going to every show that hit my state.

[@wilcogrundens9086]

Grunge forever my friend. Fuck this new world.

It should be a crime to play this song without the 4 minute reverb solo ending.

That feed back is crazy good at the end. Im into more advanced music today but pumpkins i grew up listening to and they always had a good technique side to them. Jimmy Chamberlin was(is) so sick on drums.

[@NGMcD1975]

What "advanced" music could you possibly be into that exists in today's world? You must mean these talentless hacks that are around in today's world, who use software to come up with their songs. I'll let you in on a little secret, junior, that you probably aren't aware of: prior to the turn of the century, bands used to actually play instruments with their hands and sing with their actual voices when they came up with songs. Advanced music.....lol. Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit.

[@wallface29]

What a surprise, another 40's + dipshit who thinks they know everything and doesn't bother to do some research. If you tried even the slightest to get your head out of your ass and actually search for modern talented bands, you would discover hundreds of artists within 1 day. Do yourself a favor and go look up animals as leaders, plini, the contortionist, owane etc. These guys are the next generation and are way more advanced at technique AND composition than anyone from your day Sincerely, "Junior"

[@NGMcD1975]

@@wallface29 Sounds like the truth struck a chord with you, small fry, and you are obviously very threatened by the attack on the pile of garbage that is modern millennial music. So you are resorting to ridiculous hyperbole. Verrrrrrrrry credible comments you are making: some fucking band named "Owane" is WAY more advanced at technique and composition from ANYONE from "my day". I'm very sure this is the case, since you've stated so here on the KZbin comments section and all. And there are hundreds more, you say? I'll bet there is. Case closed. Enjoy the inferior, degenerate, heartless, soulless, computer enhanced excrement put out by total nonames that the 5 billion people over the age of 30 that are outside of your delusional little bubble all know is complete trash and mock.

[@DT24K]

Tony Lobato that’s about stupid if that’s true. The damn song is what, track 13? Not some hidden track or anything either like how the whole mess goes sometimes when it comes to Nirvana’s Sappy on the 1993 No Alternative compilation CD where Sappy appears as track 19 but unmentioned and remained a hidden track. Only acknowledgement I recall seeing outside the CD was when there was a special that aired on Mtv in late ‘93. It talked with most of the artists that appeared on the LP and showed either any/all of them performing whatever track it is they put on the compilation. If I recall correctly, during the credits, Nirvana has a short brief interview that shows as credits roll to which also goes back n forth btwn that and shows me performing the track ‘Sappy’ as well. For whatever reason(s), this has become somewhat of a difficult thing to find.

I think Pumpkins are great. Sharp, potent riffs, crackling electric energy and sonic power. HOWEVER: I just figured out something else that bugs me about them thanks to this song: They're just toying with feedback and distortion compared to master artists who turned those amorphous soundclouds into crucial, meticulous stanzas of their song-poems: the Velvets, Neil & the Horse, Thurston & Lee from SY, and Hendrix. IMO.
