That’s an essential quality in any of my favorite bands. My two favorite bands in the 90s were Smashing Pumpkins and Deftones, both can send you to space with the shoegazy stuff and crush your face when they get heavy

[@72fresh92]

All these years later and that chorus still makes the hairs on my neck stand up, epic, emotional, pure Pumpkins.

[@blackred474]

so true man

[@MsPalaa]

Yes! I'm still suprised at how deeply I feel their music after many years. I started listening to them when I was 12 or 13 (older brother listened to them and therefore so would I and ended up liking them), now I'm almost 30 and there's still new layers and feelings that come to me, because with new experiences and years it still changes how I interpret their songs, so it never gets old, I'll hopefully get to live many years more so I can experience even more with their music :3

Time has really told the tale of this band, man. Their music has aged better than pretty much all of their contemporaries.

[@MrAngryTwinkie]

Each album is so unique

[@kristopherryanwatson]

@@MrAngryTwinkie it's true, and that is one of the factors that has helped them age well compared to a few of their contemporizes who have done the same album over again, only to have faded away years ago. even Billy's solo stuff wasn't considered the best of his work at the time, but now those albums are considered both underrated and integral as part of his growth as a musician which has reinforced the power of SP as his strongest outlet.

[@sarahcasey2415]

I feel this is why every album from the original 91-00 run seems under-rated except for SD wich is correctly hailed almost universally as a masterpiece. To me like...people just wanted that album over and over and because they never got it they turned even though MCIS was the biggest. I dunno. I just like to muse about SP

[@sarahcasey2415]

If it wasn't for the goofy cover I swear the solo album would ve properly rated, Mina Loy at minimum is as good as all SP classics

Jonas Akerlund directed this video and all the Try, Try, Try Film (and music video). He eventually directed the film “Spun” as his first film directorial debut. It stars Brittany Murphy, Mickey Rourke, Jason Schwartzman, John Leguizamo & Mena Suvari (and more). The film is a darkly comedic and totally believable glance into the world of methamphetamine addicts… for about a week… Various characters storylines are believable. It’s a great film, and not as depressing as Requiem for a Dream, or some other drug films. Spun has a comedic tone at times

@@alukuhito You are right, my funny comment wasn't complete. Because this is very important for everyone's life, let me briefly explain my thought. I remember when that record came out (because I didn't hear the record before my brother bouth it and played it in his getho blaster): 1- the return of Jimmy (You can easily differentiate Jimmy Chamberlin's unique drumming style vs for instance that Aronoff guy) 2- Melissa Auf der Maur joining the band when that record came out (she's from Montréal, plays very well, has a very beautiful voice and after her time with the Smashing Pumpkins her carreer simply expanded and did awesome collaborations ) 3- suspensions dots meaning there is a succession of other events related to the moment that record came out (At that moment in my life I was starting to develop a taste in music and SP became a band I couldn't stop listening to. I had my first sexual experiences approximately during these times. Moved to another city, changed school. Etc)

[@rondadornocturno1824]

I thought on the past that It was synth sound, but It is sound is make with guitar pedalboard! It's incredible

[@GodsMan500]

That’s a combination of chorus and de tune. The chorus makes several copies of what’s played, and some of those guitar “copies” (they’re really called voices” are raised and lowered slightly out of perfect pitch. The end result is that lush, full and shimmering sound.

[@deathkampdrone]

Super underrated Pumpkins tune. Love that shift from heavy riffing into MBV-esque chorus. Also, what a comeback single it was. I had completely given up on them after Adore, but then this came out of the blue - Jimmy was back, and thriving! And let's face it, Melissa was the absolute best possible replacement for D'arcy too. The Pumpkins were back!

@@thetechwookie Billy recruited Melissa to step in for the tours for Machina. At that point it was already decided the band would end after those tours.

Theres a lengthy interciew on KZbin where she talks among other things about her Pumpkin years saying she got paid much better money there compared to being in Hole.

What a song.....and album. I remember purchasing this album and remember that the booklet in the CD case had a very distinct smell. Not a bad smell but a distinct smell that is hard to describe. Anyone else?? Lol.Very underrated album. Nostalgia...

[@BlueTheChannel]

Completely agree about the smell!

[@tonymoyoy]

Agree

[@NightMedicine]

It did! So funny you mentioned that!

[@cara1111]

This song aged SO FREAKING WELL!!! 👌

[@keysersoze9511]

i love this album

[@cfcollares]

The textures of the chorus send me to a special place.

[@madmaggs4305]

Some of the best bass and guitar riffs ever

[@DigitalvideotoolsOrg]

The chorus 00:53 has never failed to get the hairs standing up on the back of my neck.

[@blare5346]

my favorite part. grunge melody and the drum roll always gets my hairs standing up

[@Onmysheet]

Notice from 1991-2000 the band went darker as the years went by.

[@hiddeninthesnowwe]

+Austin Wright Not unless you're listening to some alien version I've never heard.

[@dragonno6587]

darker but not better...

[@Onmysheet]

@Higher Image Status But from 2007 - Present they're just.....normal.

[@nicholaskenning93]

A beautiful mix of Heavy Metal, Hard Rock, Industrial Metal, and Shoegaze.

[@norbertovelazquez7441]

Exactly!! And love it

[@josecarrillorodriguez8344]

The riff of this song sound brutal, billy corgan is a genius, rock and roll

[@Agalgo88]

Adelantadisimos, orgullo haberlos escuchado en mi adolescencia y sigue.

[@wickedhyperstyler]

More than 20 years have passed. Still love Chamberlin's heavy, jazzy style on this. What a massive, slapping banger.

[@cameronsmith4342]

Just heard this song the other day, intro literally gave me chills with how good it was. Regret not searching through their other stuff sooner. Only ever knew a small few classics.

[@JohnMeechan]

I just discovered this song. I gotta bump something out of my top 20

[@yonah6632]

Let's all agree, women bass players are the sexiest women that walk this planet.

[@yonah6632]

@@alukuhito Nah, I'm not a man-baby that needs mommy to make me sandwiches. I make my own thank you very much.

[@alukuhito]

@@yonah6632 So, you don't think sandwich-making women are super sexy? I make my own sandwiches too.

No. Stop trying to tell me how to think. Fuck you.

[@MrRedacto]

Yeah I never realized at the time that they barely even showed his (James') face. Like was that his choice, the director(s),...? Poor James

[@SandraLopez-ee5jw]

He was too busy playing to be seen!, if look carefully he is present and thats his gift to us.

"The Everlasting Gaze" You know I'm not dead Now you know where I've been As you sleep Torn I am Weighted down Patiently Born of love You know I'm not dead I'm just living in my head Forever waiting On the ways of your desire You always find a way And thru it all Into us all you move Forgotten touch Forbidden thought We can never have enough You know I'm not dead Found below The creatures scream Stranglehold A god machine Begging to Tear us out Worn as hope You know I'm not dead I'm just the tears inside your head Forever waiting On the ways of your desire You always find a way And thru it all into us all you move Forgotten touch Forbidden thought We can never have enough You know I'm not dead We all want to hold in the everlasting gaze Enchanted in the rapture of his sentimental sway But underneath the wheels lie the skulls of every c.o.g. The fickle fascination of an everlasting god You know I'm not dead I'm just living in my head Forever waiting Forever waiting on cruel death You know I'm not dead I'm just living for myself Forever waiting You know I'm not dead

[@itookallthenames]

I always thought it was skulls of every cop

[@eg8593]

He says "wings" of your desire" bro!👍

[@solongsuicide9]

I thought it was weight of your desire. It doesn't really matter. Ways/weight/wings are all good & work with the song lyrics. I think wings works best. It's "And through it all", though. Thru is not even a word. If you copy // pasted this from Google, they accepted my correction, recently. Hooray. 🎉

[@spacewombat6174]

Pure poetry!!

This Chorus always make me chill

[@bpundt1094]

I wish they could’ve released a full album of songs this style. I love their music but they had such a good hard rock sound. Everything new is so soft

[@alastairwoodford5180]

I remember this album being so anticipated. It’s an underrated album. Unfortunately it took too long to get it out that music and fans had moved on. I remember the tour being quite poor as well. Shame. A truly iconic band for the 90s.

[@BrandonJohnson-dt5km]

This is one of those songs that sounds infinitely better with headphones

[@jackrockwell6698]

The good old days when bands had enough money to destroy their gear.

[@bruhman4085]

Lol

[@jasonfifi]

billy accidentally smashed the "good" one first, and had to do the performance shots with the epiphone he was supposed to smash. check out the headstock in the performance shots, it's the hundred dollar($35 at any pawn shop in the country) SG copy.

[@Black-Maple]

I understand why Billy was playin on a epiphone.. lol

[@paulcollins5629]

Jack Rockwell not that they had money to destroy equipment is that they had equipment to destroy these days it's all computer generated autotuned shit

[@jasonfifi]

Paul Collins where are you getting new music? i haven't heard a band use autotune in like 6 years.

[@rymurkit3424]

The last 30 seconds of this song are to die for.

[@DementedDistraction]

My favorite Pumpkins song. Melissa is so amazing - shame the band caved in before she could really establish herself with them. Fun little fact: that light falling from the ceiling wasn't supposed to happen - Billy only wanted to shatter the bulb. You can see as soon as it falls he looks away as if to say, "Aw, fuck." I remember him talking about that moment on a commentary track on a Smashing Pumpkins DVD from around....10-15 years ago - he was pissed because he had to pay to replace the lighting fixture, and if I remember properly, he also fractured a bone in his hand from slamming that guitar into the ground.

[@US395Official]

Ow. Lmao sounds painful!

[@eneDK5594]

The drums are insane. I love this song more than ever and it's already 20 yrs that i discovered it. Truly amazing

[@redmi9anio]

During my teenage years i had this album on cassette tape in the early year 2000 i bought it at a place called Wisma Hopoh a decent shopping mall in Kuching city in East Malaysia. Happily brought it home to listen to it on my cheap tiny stereo hi-fi cassette tape player and the rest was history. That's how far the Smashing Pumpkin's music and influence can reach the most furtherst part of this world. This was before the Internet and Social Media became a household name.🤘🏼😎 Now im 38 years age in year 2023. 🤘🏼😎 Good old days.

[@qasimansari7540]

On the ways of your desire. That part is genius.

[@martyhuggins3530]

billy will never get the credit he deservers

[@JustKJ109]

Exactly you can't even put a capitol B on his name. 😂

[@sofiamarianaavendano4542]

Clásico de los clásicos del 2000

[@chzzyg2698]

I did not know this song had a music video. I used to love this album so much. Only today I discovered it had a sequel. Can't wait to listen it all these years later. Love you guys! Machina is such an amazing work of art and has a place in my heart.

[@christopherguzman1883]

La canción que escuché por primera vez la radio rock de Lima en el 2000.

[@nealwhite8425]

I wish they did a few more hard songs like this..they can really rock out...

[@ThavashOnTech]

Anyone else likes how the music changes at 0:55? How did we go from this to what we have today ?

[@Thedaleb1]

The pumpkins are and will always be one of the best, Billy kept his shit together and his contemporaries melted down and unfortunately some lost their lives

[@professorplum3858]

One of my favorite parts of this video is where he throws his quitar up into the lights. In the DVD commentary he said it was an accident and you can see him walking away thinking "Oh shit..."

[@kristopherryanwatson]

he never said it was an accident. he threw his guitar up into the lighting on purpose, with the intention that the lighting would come down above him....
