They picked up the alt rock/grunge standard when Nirvana died and ran with it to make it their own and went their own non punk rock way with guitar solos and such,

Totally agree. Can't really encapsulate any band from that era. They all had elements of many genres

[@flapjackson6077]

Smashing Pumpkins was alternative to grunge, at the time when when grunge became cool alternative. You’re exactly right! Smashing Pumpkins was not grunge. They were coincidental to grunge, AND they had a unique sound which was not part of the the previous 10 year cycle of commercial music.

[@ericwoodard7005]

While they aren’t necessarily grunge by definition, no one would be mad at referring to them as a grunge band

[@TheDiervek]

@@flapjackson6077 interesting take. I still love this song and Siamese Dream altogether maybe more now than in the 90s it's aged well. Other acts from that era sound incredibly dated and a chore to listen to.

[@mnovella9469]

I love how all the old SP albums had their own unique sound to them. Gish was more on the trippy side, Siamese Dream (which this track was on) had more of a Shoegaze sound. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness sounded more raw and Grungy, and Adore was in a category all its own (I think Adore is an extremely underrated album, it still deserves a place in the top 4).

[@StonedMeadowOfDoom]

+Mike Novella Pisces Iscariot has honestly some of the best SP material on it. Really underrated.

[@aplaguedoctor406]

+Mike Novella How was Mellon Collie raw and grungy? That album literally had Violins, Harp and Piano on it, aswell as tons and tons of layered guitar. Through the eyes of ruby had 70 guitar tracks for it. Mellon Collie is a huge, ambitius, theatrical album, the exact opposite of what Grunge stood for. And Siamese Dream had some elements in common with the british alt rock bands like Slowdive, Ride, The Verve etc, but I would'nt go as far as calling it a shoegaze album. You are definately right about Gish tho :P

Amazing genuine people

[@voteZDLR]

@Macro Aggressor: The Titty Baby Killer I dunno about all of that, I mean I know that grunge wasn't called grunge when it first came out, but as humans tend to do we try to put labels on things ASAP so we can put them in boxes that help us to define what it is. I know that grunge as a term was coined before Kurt Cobain died, he even has a famous photo where he is wearing a shirt that says "Grunge is dead" so I dunno, if you weren't labeling SP alternative rock back in the mid 90s... what were they calling it then? Certainly not grunge, it's not even close to that. But regardless, the point is Smashing Pumpkins almost embodied this space that Weezer found really comfortable as time went on where it's inherently geeky and where the minority in high schools especially, the weirdos, found a home in this kind of music. Billy Corgan was the king of this space for a long, long time, in the same way Kurt was the king of the grunge world. And hated it, but I digress. So whether they called it alt-rock back then or not, I am not sure, my question is this: what DID they call it? Rock music is way too oversimplified for what the Pumpkins were in their prime, even though it is indubitably still rock music. Too simple though. I think the 90s was all alternative rock, it just depended what exactly your bag of tea was -- darker stuff, grunge. Lighter, alternative rock.

A bunch of friends bought tickets to go see the Red Hot Chili Peppers at a club in Detroit, MI called Clubland. Had no clue who the opening bands were. Opening act comes on and blows us away. Ends up being some band called Pearl Jam. Next band comes on and I was hooked. The groove. The feeling in the air. Had to find out who they were. Went out and purchased Gish the next day. Quickly discovered they opened with Rocket and then played Tristessa. Of course, the RHCP kicked it as usual. Second best concert ever for me.

[@redskies4530]

Hi I recommend a new indie song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix

[@wildmercuryfilms]

D’arcy was very important to the songwriting process. Billy says she was a good sounding board from the very beginning. She (obviously) looks at things from a female point-of-view, and would encourage Billy’s feminine side. D’arcy was fired/quit right after Machina was complete, but before the Machina tour kicked off. If you really think about it, Billy hasn’t written any EXCELLENT songs since D’arcy left. I think there are SEVERAL excellent songs on Machina, including Try, Try, Try, and With Every Light and I, of the Mourning. Obviously: Stand Inside Your Love is excellent, too. D’arcy also played on Machina II, and some of those songs are EXCELLENT, too: Slow Dawn is one of my favorite Pumpkins songs. Cash Car Star is good, and so is Real Love. When I think of Machina II, I know that they recorded those songs during (or right after) Machina. Machina II has a MUCH different feel to me than Machina, but you can feel the feminine sensibilities that D’arcy brought to the table in those last 2 albums she played on. Ever since she left, it doesn’t feel like The Smashing Pumpkins. Rather: It feels like Billy Corgan with a backing band. The Smashing Pumpkins were a team, with D’arcy and James and Jimmy being a big part of the picture. Without D’arcy, that team is not complete.

[@Dsmvwlmnt]

Nice!! 😁 my first concert, was 14 and dropped off, by friends parent.. Still my fav concert to this day.. Hard to top the pumpkins.. I'm 35 now , and still jam out to them lol

[@iamthefirsttosecond]

Sweet! Same here, 14, 1st concert, parental drop off! A magical time.

[@Robertsmith3828]

This was my very favorite album in high school, and revisiting it for the first time in years, it fuckin' holds up. In fact I have even more appreciation for it now as someone who's been making my own music for 20 years. As much as I hate hearing Billy bitch about how he's an underrated musical genius in interviews... I can't say he's totally wrong...

[@TheDiervek]

Thinking about it he's kind of like Prince, cocky and narcissistic but also 100% correct.

this song is quintessential 90's sound. Happy Summer days forever.

[@siamesedreamsx]

Takes me back to running around my old neighborhood in the summertime, catching fireflies in the dandelion field next to my yard, staying outside until dark every day. Or the summer days when I would sunbathe on the deck after swimming all day, stereo out, and hear this song come on Q101. There's nothing like those times.

This video brings tears to my eyes. My best friend and I were the same age as these kids, caught up in fantasies, ignored by our parents. We had our outlets too. This was a fun, relatable resemblance. I'll always be grateful. We're still best friends to this day, 30+ years later. Thanks, pumpkins.

[@MrWeirdShite]

This came out when I was 10, my brother (12 years older than me) had the album and made me a copy on cassette. I listened to Siamese Dream on my Walkman all the time while playing outside when I wasn’t with friends. I loved (and still love) the entire album, but this was the song I would always rewind and go back to repeatedly. I would do anything to go back to 1994, put my headphones on, and stare at what seemed an infinite blue sky and unlimited possibilities... I’d do anything to go back to that time...

[@ryanrygogoloversic8826]

I was 7, my brother was 14 years older and had the CD. It lived in my portable player all the way through high school. Absolute masterpiece of an album.

[@JohnnyUtahFBI]

I understand man. I was 15 when this came out. Me and two of my friends would hang and listen to this album. I’m the only one of us three left. Hits me in the feels….

Smashing pumpkins were ahead of their time...In my opinion. Among those groups in their genre that were underrated but powerful more now!

[@wasteofspace20]

Brilliant visuals, full of color and subversive satire of the suburban American dream. There's a lot of 70's rock riffs embedded in this music but still very original and compelling!

Love Bleed in your own light Dream of your own life I miss me I miss everything I'll never be And on, and on I torch my soul to show the world that I am pure Deep inside my heart No more lies A crown of horns An image formed deformed The mark I've borne A mark of scorn to you Consume my love, devour my hate Only powers my escape The moon is out the stars invite I think I'll leave tonight Soon I'll find myself alone To relax and fade away Do you know what's coming down Do you know I couldn't stay free?
