The Smashing Pumpkins - Rocket (Live Acoustic - Oeiras 2007)

[@jacobjones5269]

It’s hard to believe this wasn’t a huge hit.. It’s their masterpiece IMO..

[@dougsadler4053]

Man is a fucking genius musically, mentally. Never connected to any other artists lyrics like Billy's. His music will truly live forever.

[@mmasiewicz]

Amen

[@GrantBaldwin]

Amen brother

[@Leyenda1]

"I'll miss everything I'll never be..." Great writing.

[@seanx666]

Reminds me of th Sabbath lyric...I've seen the future and I've left it behind

[@dvazn92]

beautiful sounding guitar + billy's unique voice = fucking epic.

[@Briansanchezi]

Simply incredible performance by a brilliant singer/songwriter.

[@MAD1981full]

that's the BEST version EVER of Acoustic Rocket song Really awesome Beautifull

[@sambrown1779]

I'm in tears. That's immense

[@Kewina26]

"Consume my love and devour my hate, it only empowers my escape."

[@VincentHanna86]

smashing pumpkins are the fucking great band ever and thats all

[@jm.goingsnake]

My favorite Smashing Pumpkins song. I enjoy playing and singing this as well. Always a pleaser! Top 2 favorite band as well. The Beatles #1

[@oliverwruck8758]

I guess this was for whatever reasons a rarely magical gig.

[@peniosasdasd]

The best part is that Corgan actually has a nice voice. It's just that he only chooses to use it half the time for some unknown reason.

[@alyckeith8898]

That was amazing!!!!! Consume my love, devour my hate, Only powers my escape The moon is out the, stars invite, I think I'll leave tonight

[@hunternichols4739]

My senior quote "I shall be free"

[@MrEpicTitan]

Beautiful version

[@dashettina]

this song is amaaaaaazing. and the sentence "I SHALL BE FREE" means a lot for me..

[@imnosferatu]

awesome performance, gave me goosebumps

[@sagig72]

Beautiful performance. Very moving.

[@jasoncarrizales3033]

2020...I miss miss the 90's..high school memories...

[@Goonit1979]

This is first class amazing way of playing Rocket i hope i get to see them live one day

[@GrantBaldwin]

Seen them live 14 times been disappointed once. I’d say your chances for a great show are pretty good. I’d get on the stick though, they’ve called it quits already once before.

[@monikitand]

Thank you for sharing. I had never seen this video nor heard this version before. Never get tired of discovering SP gems like this.

[@camiln]

If I was there, I would've cried because this song is so beautiful ;_:

[@mmasiewicz]

I wasn't there, but I heard it, and might have. Not saying I did, just saying.

[@docwillis1443]

This song is fucking awesome

[@717mienbao]

wow, he has really worked on singing.

[@rebeldiamondz]

This is so awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this- I absolutely love this song and this version is truly amazing! Billy has such a great voice & his emotion while singing this is so true. A joy to watch & listen to! Thanks again! ;) xxx

[@EASnoww]

Shot in the dark question on a 12 year old video, but can anyone figure out the tablature of what Billy's playing when he's strumming high up the neck during the outro section? He's playing both rhythm and melody and it sounds incredible. Edit: Actually I'm starting to get it; I was making it more complicated in my head than it is. Here's the gist (Eb but chords are relative to standard) EADGBe XX(12)(11)(10-12-10)(10) D(6) X(10)(10)(9-0)8X C/G (Gsus4) XX(10)988 (+ weird cool bendy stuff?) C X(10)90(10)X G2 (10)900(10)X D4 [back to:] C/G Then down the neck to different C(sus) voicing: XX5533 -> XX5433 To the G maj root.

[@carsandguitars]

Came here to watch this video hoping I could see his hand positions a bit better but you my friend are the real MVP.

[@AlDarko]

Epic!!

[@mmasiewicz]

I never connected to this song until now for some reason. What a fucking great song and great performance

[@mmasiewicz]

Yeah, I know this is an old post, but good songs never fade away, they just go on and on..

[@AlDarko]

Fooking EPIC!! Thank you for posting!

[@nirvanarugby]

real nice, one of the few worthwhile bits of "SP" s reunion

[@birde33]

so awesome!! billy rocks....

[@TheDentist27]

one of the best

[@joao1988pedro]

that jam in the end was so good and the show was great, only in portugal...

[@evsrf7757]

God this is so fucking good

[@hiphopBB00]

Best suicide song ever!

[@repelghosts]

They all leaver and always will miss everything they'll never be...

[@EyeJustSkateboard]

He is very humble.

[@anitagrey7356]

Bravo

[@09AllisonMarie]

"perfect" :)

[@nderohan]

No it’s rocket;)

[@todayisthegreatest]

epic

[@shanezy09]

i agree and they actually did this version along side the electric one even back when it was first written

[@weezer521]

the best i've seen billy do live since they broke up

[@Sepantamino]

👏👏👏☀️👏👏👏

[@beesrosh]

All people care about is the old stuff, which is good stuff, but the whole point of a band isn't to play greatest hits for every show. It's to keep making new music, that's how they keep moving ahead.

[@mmasiewicz]

I'd respond to this but it's 14 years old. lol. SP still rocks

[@peniosasdasd]

@HillsbradFoothills He's one of the worlds best singers too, sadly he's also one of the worlds worst too. Damn it Billy, you defy logic.

[@boosh90]

anyone know the chords he's playin in the little high-up part near the end? drivin me nuts here

[@romannikulcha4231]

figured them out yet?

[@boosh90]

I have not

[@d3reilly]

dude, sorry. i agree on their most recent tour things were looking grim but Teargarden by Kalaidescope is gonna be sick! i've heard some clips of songs and billy's really on it. He's using old Siamese Dream/Gish gear and everything. He really is back on track. and the drummer is pretty good too.

[@jcs1234jcs]

i thought adore was pretty good. best lyrical work imo and pretty heartfelt. alot of ppl didnt give it a chance because it wasn't as hard rock as the previous albums. if you are into harder rock then thats cool i just dont think its fair to say it was bad just because you didnt like the specific genre of it.

[@nirvanapumpkins100]

FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mikesullivan2698]

Where are you now?

[@ivylim8612]

Hello Mr V** !

[@yvl3176]

hahaha

[@lilvjdude]

I don't know how I feel about this. This song is perfect as it was recorded. Needs feedback

[@TheEarlHaight]

Gen X hero

[@TopppieJopppie]

@09AllisonMarie only without the quotes

[@mikepecoulos4043]

wow..in the style of pink floyd..could it be?

[@mmasiewicz]

This song reminds me of wish you were here. I keep wanting to say it and haven't yet. but whatever. Reminds me of that song. Just saying.

[@rohiogerv22]

I didn't like the music they made in 1988. That doesn't mean they should have stopped making music in 1988. We would never have had Gish or Siamese Dream or MCIS. I think they need to improve their own filters now though. If he can't write a good song, scrap it, and think up a new one until he can come up with a whole CD of good songs. A CD of: Superchrist, The Rose March, Bleeding the Orchid, United States, 99 Floors, Peace and Love, As Rome Burns, Gossamer, Mama, and !, I would buy in a second

[@ducanuca]

ha una tuta da metalmeccanico?

[@Reno9824]

The comment below makes alot of sense in fairness..

[@arkzi]

ZERO

[@nicholsjoshua15]

If any of you want to hear a sing that sounds the same live as they do on the album go listen to Britney Spears lip sync to the studio version of her songs.
