The Smashing Pumpkins - Starla

[@JockoJonson17]

their B sides better than most bands A material

[@Christuserloeser]

Their B-Sides are better than their own A-Sides.

[@JockoJonson17]

hehe ;)

[@Iberotimuka]

***** same goes for Blur and Mozza and The Cure to a certain extent, it's like they hide the gems for the real fans.

[@steve9341]

+Jocko Jonson Same with STP

[@lisaromanchik7328]

I really admire the guitar work most of all a band as a unit incredible set up i preffer the earlier works

[@Xuevium]

This song posted on KZbin was sped up from the original ever so slightly. That's how many countless times I have listened to the song since the album came out.

[@Elenore0324]

The first half sounds somewhat normal but then the second half feels practically warp speed.

[@COLTRONNN]

i knew instanlty something was off lol

[@MrCoasterfan1]

I love this song. It takes me places that I love to go to.

[@unstintingdevotion]

I named my first car Starla. She was a beautiful blue 1980 Berlinetta Camaro that my brother Johnny pieced together for me. I used to crank this song while I tore ass down the parkway. When I listen to this now, I can still smell the antifreeze of that old soldier barreling on and feel the warm wind in my hair. Oh what I would give to go back to the 90's. Starla dear, please take me home 💙

[@O.D.E.GuitarSoundtracks]

One of best comment i ever read Sarah🤟🤟🤟

[@Twunga]

This was all I played for weeks at every possible moment when I first heard it. Mad shoegazing

[@starladejong8478]

Yup here's another Starla :) I love my name!

[@lilooo79]

Starla Dejong cool name

[@Xuevium]

Starla Dejong your name is my favorite song of all time by any band

[@starlavillasenor7883]

Starla my name to cool

[@6Hell6Hammer6]

me too

[@asdfjkl5235]

Another Starla I am no longer lonely

[@SimonColvinter]

Probably my favorite song . It proves music can be simple and beautiful at the same time .

[@bleikrsound6127]

First met Billy when SP were recording 'Siamese Dream' in Georgia. We fronted for them on 4.9.94 in Florida. I mentioned that I liked the reverse imaging guitar. He programmed the sound into my Alesis Quadraverb GT. It's been on there ever since, unchanged, and used in some of my recordings.

[@mjdomicello]

LUCKY YOU! TO HAVE BEEN A PART OF ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS AND ERAS OF ALT-ROCK MUSIC; WHAT WAS YOUR MUSIC LIKE?

[@bleikrsound6127]

Click on channel. Posting the oldest first. Some of our stuff has been xd by KZbin because of legal issues with a former recording company ( I.R.S. Records and EMI - more info. on Wikipedia), however this shall soon be resolved due to twenty-year expiration. Note that The Smashing Pumpkins were not the established name they are today, even when we opened for them in Tallahassee '94. The big thrill was meeting Butch Vig, who had recently produced Nirvana's 'Nevermind'.

[@sydb]

the reverse delay guitar part is a preset on the eventide h3000 harmonizers.. be interested to hear of the quadraverb patch though, just got one again, been a long time. fun unit..

[@Drageslukeren]

Please share settings?

[@bleikrsound6127]

We can compile a list of these settings. Do you own a vintage 1990's Alesis Quadraverb GT?

[@MrAdamjb]

Probably one of the best pumpkins songs. From a band that probably wrote one of the best albums in Siamese Dream

[@sgraham4687]

@beau Of course Siamese Dream is legendary - one of the best albums of all time. But are you forgetting about the even better Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness???

[@MrShocking68]

Still sounds good nearly twenty years later.

[@IHAVECHOSSENTHISNAME]

I believe that. This never fails to blow my mind. I'll love this till I die for sure

[@MistyRain7001]

my favorite pumpkins song, and album

[@DarthEcoli]

The story behind this song is cool. According to Billy, the London record label wanted two more tracks to go with I am one. Billy told them he didn't have anymore, but they insisted or would refuse to release the single. Apparently, they only had bits of music for Starla and no lyrics, so they stayed up for 24 hours straight to get this written, recorded, and sent out. There's a youtube of him telling the story right before playing it with Jeff and Mike, and whichever bass player they had at the time. Cool version too.

[@IHAVECHOSSENTHISNAME]

First time listening to this...HOLY FUCK! o.O

[@citizenscientist1284]

Yup. Welcome to the Starla headspace!

[@fkcyber]

Magic space music.

[@moforich]

listened to this song stoned off my face so many times, that was along time ago but its still a great fucking tune!!

[@tbranch74]

How am I just learning about this song? My 15 year old daughters name is Starla. It's a rare name as it is ... Now I am going to have to show her.

[@starlamalloy1474]

Tell your daughter hello from one starla to another

[@tbranch74]

4:56 when you're not enough of a rock star to afford proper recording environment, but it somehow makes everything cooler.

They just kept that siren in for fun .

[@brothasean]

great selection. one of my all-time favorite solos.

[@qwerty6782]

At 5:10 when that guitar kicks in for a mlnute is the best part of this song. Anyway, thanks for uploading it. I wanted to hear it again. I used to have this tape. My player ate it and shat it out though a week after I bought it . Those were the days.

[@HumbertoParradoManrique]

yeah

[@kerryflores7428]

starla kicks ass

[@ms.wonderful5605]

Phenomenal!! Over and over and over. It takes me back sets me straight makes me smile,even happy NO MATTER WHAT. I thank you. ....JUST FUCKING AWESOME

[@kerryflores7428]

Starla is a gift.

[@Mikeca300]

I love all of the Smashing Pumpkins songs. I can't say that for any other band.

[@shaunmeyer5892]

I agree. I get bored with the formula of every other group after a certain time and move on. The Pumpkins have always changed with the times and moved forward in a way that I've liked and understood.

[@maxime8221]

Wonderful Song, i love the smashing pumpkins !!!!!!

[@luissilva5654]

Q som, demais msm!! Smashing 4 ever!! Sem duvida a melhor banda d sempre!! Enormes!!

I'm quite good playing Air Guitar to this. The best kind of workout.

Still come back to Pi!Love that album!But my fav,is def adore.

[@snowsurfr]

If you weren’t in an altered state when you started listening to this, you will feel like it by the end.

[@stuart5980]

this is 10 mins yet it feels like 4 or 5

[@willardferguson5557]

that's when you know it's a great song!

To me, that's the best Smashing Pumpkins song alongside The Aeroplane Flies High (Turns Left, Looks Right).

I'm in here Please, take me home Starla, dear I'm all alone When you can't decide what's on your mind It's clear I'm hear Starla, dear To disappear takes all my time Starla, dear You're on my mind Soon, soon I'll be leaving Soon, soon I'll be leaving I hear all you're saying I hear all you're failing I'm in here Please, take me home Starla, dear I'm all alone When you can't decide what's on your mind It's clear I'm here Starla, dear Serve yourself No one else can do for you like you No one else fails like me In my eyes, I burn alive Fly like a bird No more words, just you and I, high in the sky

[@rickyg8462]

Pisces Iscariot is kinda like AICs Jar of Flies...just a gem on an release...so cool how bands can create such amazing music on B sides or EPs...the unfiltered/pure sound only a B side or EP can create...can't really describe how this album affected me growing up

[@vaisakhkrishnan3069]

legendary.. what a tune

[@grubbytron]

Song was supposed to be 11:01

[@Iberotimuka]

what is it with Morrissey, Blur, the Cure and this lot? some of their best songs are obscure b-sides

[@SadPeterPan1977]

Tell me about it. How 'Set The Ray To Jerry' never got on an album I'll never understand.

[@Wundernuts]

"Untitled" is also brilliant. Their last recording before the 2000 break-up. Goosebumps every time I hear it.

[@dhollsynthmusic]

add Mansun & Radiohead too

[@snowsurfr]

If you weren’t high when you started listening to this, you will feel like it afterwards.

when a band's B-side tracks are better than other artists entire catalogs.

[@patrickniehus3132]

Unless you intend on simply making a hell of a racket, using effects pedals and distortion with guitars is not easy. I would think you'd need to balance the effects with a clear sense of what you want them to do. So the delicate sounds coaxed from a guitar at the beginning of this song are all the more wondrous for being very carefully chosen; and the psychedelic freakout at the end is masterful too, because it isn't just modulations of white noise (although that can be pretty cool to listen to too). It has direction. It builds and morphs exactly the way it is supposed to. Which is testament to Billy Corgan's genius, and his feel for what works and what doesn't....

[@eyesetokill219]

hello

[@peterpunk06]

this is very slightly faster than the version i have ... weird! Is that to avoid copyright nonsense?

[@sinatracann1591]

The music industry my friend. They don't want 10 minute meaningful song

[@Iberotimuka]

when Blur recorded Modern Life is Rubbish in 1992 their label Food threatened to sue them unless they put singles on the album, they went back to the studio for one day and wrote the two shitty singles Chemical World and Sunday Sunday. It's exactly the same scenario.

[@jackmedrano9227]

yad00di Zero is Smashing Pumpkins' anthem, though.
