The Smashing Pumpkins - Zero (Live 2000)

[@vincescotti]

Imagine if they made an album in this heavy style with Melissa

[@TheLarryburns84]

gawd, this is aggressive

[@SayHelloToTheRobots]

Heavy as hell, Melissa on the bass

[@josezarate7300]

I find myself having to play this video daily now. It's so heavy.

[@derinum]

Check out the circular key gig in Australia live it’s amazing too

[@davidi9625]

This is the best live version of this song....by far

[@Ryanmc1887]

It really is. This may be my favorite live pumpkins performance of any song.

[@eliasmg9144]

This version turns the goth up to 11, almost like if it was made for the machina albums

[@TheCompton1963]

R u sure? Wheres the intro?

[@dgkmiata]

I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum and think this is the worst. The vocal melody is what made the song iconic and it was missing most if not all the good parts. The playing is whatever.

[@joncokejones9318]

For sure wish there was a studio remix of this version

[@WorkFromYourLaptop]

The pure driving power of this song, the energy behind the screams, the lights, the shadows, this audience had no idea what they were in store for.

[@deanasaurs]

Best comment

[@brandon0099]

lights too

[@WorkFromYourLaptop]

@@brandon0099 oh I didn’t forget. It’s listed in the original comment. What an incredible scene this had to be live. Unreal.

[@brandon0099]

lots of grit, I like it because it reminds me of grit. Grit can often be seen live, not for the cowards who hide behind weapons@@WorkFromYourLaptop

[@187onasimp]

Damn you hear Melissa really making her presence known on that base. I hated when D'arcy left but Melissa was such a good fit in this band. Too bad it all only lasted a year. They could had made another hit album with this lineup of Billy,Jimmy,James and Melissa.

[@novak9778]

Didnt melisa OD

[@EasilySuede]

I'll miss my face, but this was worth it

[@zoilalulu3798]

Damn this version is fucking dope

[@lifethroughthecamera8531]

D'arcy will always be the OG, but Melissa and Jimmy were fucking dynamite on this tour. A total head-smashing rhythm section that the Pumpkins never saw before or after them.

[@Stabby__]

WOW, this is an amazing version

[@13lexther]

My reflection, dirty mirror There's no connection to myself I'm your lover, I'm your zero I'm the face in your dreams of glass So save your prayers For when we're really gonna need them Throw out your cares and fly Wanna go for a ride? She's the one for me She's all I really need, oh yeah She's the one for me Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness And cleanliness is godliness, and God is empty Just like me Intoxicated with the madness I'm in love with my sadness Bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms The fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth I never let on That I was on a sinking ship I never let on that I was down You blame yourself For what you can't ignore You blame yourself for wanting more She's the one for me She's all I really need, oh yeah She's the one for me She's my one and only

[@mwg911hk]

This version is dripping with nasty!!

[@imamak9550]

When he says just like me it sounds like a bat out of hell. I love you billy

[@Benthenewbie414]

Love this version of the song! Heavy C standard tuning, and I swear. I even makes me wanna head-bang while playing the guitar to this song with the tuning dropped to THAT!! >:3

[@thedeathandthestrawberry]

[@mast3rchief536]

Just when you thought this song couldn't get anymore filthy

[@michaelh8072]

This version of Zero is from the 2000 concert performed in the Netherlands. You can find the full 2 hour version by searching "Smashing Pumpkins 2000-01-24 Muziekcentrum Vredenburg; Utrecht, NL" on youtube. It's at the 45 minute mark. Wanted to know where this version is from for ages.

[@thecholanetwork9778]

[@rodneymiller9439]

Thanks for reuploading!

[@Enbix]

They look like a gang from Gotham

[@bryanbentley6254]

Damn.There was a time where you did not want to nor could you follow the Pumpkins.

[@SexistAlexistv]

Why?

[@josezarate7300]

Did you not see the video?

[@nomatawot]

[@michaelh8072]

​@@Stabby__ search up "Smashing Pumpkins 2000-01-24 Muziekcentrum Vredenburg; Utrecht, NL" on youtube for the full 2 hour concert :)

[@FaustoOMG]

Its on C Standard tuning.

[@karlrossi]

It is fucking chaos incarnate this

[@jonathonm2562]

If only Melissa was in the pumpkins from the start :(

[@astucesducapitaine7852]

[@AprendizSerial1979]

[@InfectiousGrooves]

Can anyone tell me where a High Quality copy of this live version exists??

[@snowdevil6469]

They tuned to C.

[@htomao]

From the guys that brought you Drown and Today

[@Zoltan1251]

holy fuck

[@brandon0099]

e meno male che hanno ripreso certi concerti

[@Kreeschon]

Melissa went the fuck off on this performance

[@polygon.fiction6514]

Is this tuned down to C standard? (same tuning as The Everlasting Gaze)

[@Fritz-the-Brat]

Yes

[@GeekKings]

Feyd Rautha and the Harpies 😂

[@connor3943]

One of my favorite bands, but the cover of this video made him look like Voldemort 😭,

[@anthonymiller3744]

Tempo off it’s guts lol

[@fleadoggreen9062]

Who is playing bass ?

[@discardmyfriends]

Geezer Butler

[@justinnoneya1091]

Why do they play it so fast?

[@bb-sf9hw]

Because they can

[@josezarate7300]

Why not play it fast?

[@meszuga6824]

bass zabija

[@ian8736]

What tuning?

[@69in89]

Considering that's around the time they were playing in C-standard for some songs off of Machina/The Machines of God and BC isn't playing a strat for the song, I'm gonna guess it's C-standard or maybe even C# sharp?

[@RuffisInc]

Yeah, C Standard, Queens Tuning

[@Fritz-the-Brat]

Definitely C-standard
