anyone still listening to this in 2019......

[@exiago]

2020..just discovered them last month when i found mellon collie.. at a pawn shop for 2 bucks. bought siamese dream a few weeks later and since then they have been the only band i'm listening to

[@tom1957]

@@exiago exactly the same except it's been a couple years now lmao. I've completely changed my guitar playing because of billy. First punk, now I'm into rock and psychedelic rock. Now I'm getting to know theory and jamming. Soon I'll be at a point in playing where Itll be impossible to play terribly.

2020 summer baby, still the best!

[@COLTRONNN]

fall 2020. been listening since 2006(16 years old) / had similar experiences in finding them and only listening to them/ it completely opening my mind to what guitar could be. love to you all. rock on. bless.

[@douglaconti7113]

@@exiago check out Alice in chains, nirvana, pearl jam, mother love bone, soundgarden. Im envious of anyone listening 2 this genre for the 1st time.

[@roydenbellman]

Outstanding! Almost better than the studio version. Corgan is a musical genius and let us face it, just a straight up genius if you listen to his interviews over the years. Thank you for all that you have meant to me in my life guys.

D’Arcy was my 90’s crush

[@whoami7721]

Aw, man, her and Gillian Anderson, who played Scully in "The X-Files".

[@user-dc1dr9kr8x]

As far as style and tasteful playing she is perfect in my opinion

[@eric.2272]

@@user-dc1dr9kr8x agreed man she had a great sound and fit that role in those times quite well in my opinion. Glad to see others had the same thoughts as well.

[@altoid2971]

This was the first song they played that night. ❤

[@alexmalch]

wasnt it Soma??

[@altoid2971]

Could have been. I know they opened with Soma when they played Lollapalooza at Shoreline Amphitheater. But on this SF show, I pretty well remember Rocket being played first. That riff is unmistakable and a great way to start a show.

Incredible band, energy and intense gloomy depth combined together in this fresh masterpiece..30 years ago and seems written today

Crazy how much Gerard Way and Billy look alike

Really good

Is anyone still listening in 2023?

Always and forever

[@greasyflight6609]

Mind blowing

[@greasyflight6609]

Got us ready...pumped...

[@user-ky6dc4ot6r]

My favorite Pumpkus song. Hands down.

[@mayorofthenonsense]

If there was one failing with the Pumpkins during the 90’s when they were in their prime, it was that Billy was never a naturally talented singer. He admits it himself - he was an incredibly talented guitar player and was naturally adept at the art of songwriting and arranging, but never really saw himself as a singer - it was more of requirement than a preference. He had bags of attitude and a unique, quirky style, but performing hard and fast in a live setting would typically push his vocal capabilities beyond their limits. This improved over time, but he was always a better singer in his acoustic performances, and I would say that’s still true even to today.

[@avelardolopez3332]

Best rocket performance so much attitude in this fucking fire

[@Brosenbrose]

Chamberlain was on Rocket Fuel this night!

[@silverfck]

he was so fine back then

[@drunkviggo7263]

Awesome

[@TLW4118]

Wow this was just a couple weeks after Kurt Cobain died

[@ryanguerry]

Yep, about 3 weeks. And about 6-7 weeks after my dad died right before my 11th birthday. This period of time haunts/paralyzes/captivates me beyond my control and understanding.

[@40beretta1]

listened to a 2010 version....the sound team S**ked... ever since Gish...they push his vocals...and he's not a vocalist. Trim his gain...put a gate on his vocals... he doesn't have mic distance consistency... when he up to his mic gain is brutal.....gRrRR. 1994 they had him mic'd pretty good. his screeching doesn't help... they could have put a gate on his mic

[@tobasanyaolu9436]

sounds good here, if not for his voice getting distant

[@georgial6398]

why would you listen to anything from post-2000? stick w the era the band was active.

[@dg321_]

@@georgial6398 exactly, anything after is just billy being weird.

[@georgial6398]

@@dg321_ i don't automatically hate anything after that but it really should all have been called his solo stuff. him continuing to use the band name was extremely dishonest about both the current product and the Pumpkins. they were indeed a full band, everyone had input, not just Corgan, even if he was writing the songs.

[@ThirtyCentFare]

@@georgial6398have you looked at the credits for pumpkins songs, it's pretty much been a solo project since siamese dream, save for a couple songs by james and jimmy.. fr tho just makes me respect corgan more because his brain came up with so much shit
