William Patrick Corgan - Snail

[@SloopADoopy]

Snailed it!

[@aravindvinayakan]

Mark my words, this Will guy is going places, really reminds me of the Smashing Pumpkins 😎

[@chrispietrini7277]

Maybe someday he will play somewhere other than tea shops.

[@toprymin]

Love the coda on this song. The studio version has some of jimmy’s best playing on record. Been awhile but those patterns came right back!

[@TheLEMRR]

His delivery and emotional expression are truly unparalleled. Glad to be alive during his period of creativitiy.

[@MaquiladoraIII]

Corgan, a pint of beer, and some early Pumpkins - absolutely golden.

[@loudubbs22]

More like a pint of tea, this is from his tea shop

[@TheHungryPigeon]

@@loudubbs22 You don't drink your beer with a straw?

[@alexandereckert5939]

that’s tea lol

[@MaquiladoraIII]

@@alexandereckert5939 Perhaps you're right, but as a Brit, I see a golden liquid in a large container and I think beer. 🍻🍻

I wish it was a beer lol

[@ericnortan9012]

Gish is one of my favorite albums and I am a metal head. What a great song, it really takes me back to a great time in my life (of course I didn't know how good it was then)

Absolutely amazing!! One of my favorite pumpkins songs!! He still sounds amazing!! Thanks for sharing!

You’re welcome, glad you enjoy it!

[@ethy9186]

Possibly the last song I ever discovered by SP and still my favorite right next to rocket and hummer

[@grahamt19781]

Amazing, I got goose bumps. Shame he can't seem to write songs as good as that anymore but I guess that's what happens.

[@JVenger]

It's songs like these that make me miss the old pumpkin sound.

[@ericrossetti2602]

My fav Gish song, takes me back to being in HS 🤍 BC as always does it justice all these years later

[@nicolot4652]

You don't understand how talented this people is until you try to do it yourself. Billy Corgan ain't Nuno Bettencourt on guitar or Chris Cornell on vocals, but I don't know anybody who could sing like that over difficult rhythm parts and even solos. This guy is an all arounder, very underrated

[@cablecutter12]

He's definitely one of the greatest songwriters ever.

[@JamesWilson01]

I would say his guitar playing is underrated off the charts. He could've been Nuno if he'd dedicated himself purely to the instrument but instead took the path of a singer / songwriter / front man. But make no mistake, he's still a guitar virtuoso as it is.

[@claudiomargheri2087]

​@@JamesWilson01 totally

[@rushshukla4636]

He's better than both of them.

[@danstaification]

100% true. I’m utterly, utterly passionate about guitar and rock songs but gave up trying to sing and play Billy’s songs in my 20s, when I realized it was just too difficult to pull off convincingly and decided to stick to the instrumental side of things only.

[@tonykumar9727]

He still sounds good performing this acoustic version after all these years. Thanks for uploading dude 🙌

[@chrispietrini7277]

You’re welcome! Was very fortunate to be working so close by during this time.

Oh love 💕!!! Soothes my soul. Your voice is incredible. I’ve only owned Gish since recently, about a month. I replay it over and over and over, Snail is one of my faves, but I love them all. Thank you for you passion, dedication and sharing your gifts for all these years. I just started so it’s a complete smorgasbord for me. Going to take my time with each album.

[@shelash9873]

Siamese dreams is just as good. Use headphones with it though ✌️

[@christinelikeschrysanthemums]

@@shelash9873 Hiiii Shel Ash :) I hope WPC reads some of these comments. I so appreciate him and happy for his life long accomplishments. Yes, headphones ALWAYS! There is a "Gish Deep Dive" on YT. I only had SP Greatest Hits, so I found the DD and downloaded Gish to my phone. Have been listening to both, a great way to learn about it all and really appreciate the music. There's so much there! I was hoping William would go on to a Deep Dive for Siamese Dreams... he said maybe.... At any rate, it is my next. Thanks so much for your reply! ✌️

[@claudiomargheri2087]

Fondly remember playing this cause i was on a sort of binge yet at the same time been knowing the pumpkins so little and for a short amount of time at the time cause i only happened to come back to them resurfacing back (thats a long ass story though, i told it whole somewhere else, dont even know if that place is still up here, will point it out later) It was 'only' three years ago at the time im typing this, yet of course, needless to say it feels like much more. With my same guitar, ugly, dirty, cheap, maybe strings missing (now i only got 3 left which is half of it and im good with it been fine with it up to now cause ive been playing it this way consistently, it's cool in more than one way) i was there getting around songs like these oh yes snail was indeed one i was fond on and still am I wasnt even playing with any intent of putting out some sort of perfect rendition or anything, quite the contrary, as i do usually, playing casually... So many things were different back then, some the same, some were just starting to take a little peep (hey lil peep😛 yea i said it) round the corner, things to come, already in motion, about to let me know now that im able to look at them more clearly, the fucking ruthless hindsight, so dull and unneeding of being told or explained so independent and absolute, an imperative of consciensce, it brings awareness Well theres a reason why i mentioned the place im coming from, as in that 'long ass story' i told i laid down somewhere else. As far as it goes, and as i recall, i basically knew the pumpkins just because of their notoriety, i heard of them and maybe it could be possible that i heard or listened to something by them overtime. Then, years later, this is what i recount in that other comment, i manage to come back to a video that had been taken down in the meantime. Said video is none than what basically was my introduction to the sp, an early 90s billy acoustic intimate performance in some hotel room while being interviewed by some blonde (?) cute young girl You may find it i guess by looking for something along the lines of 'billy corgan acoustic early 91 etc...' it's a set featuring tracks like la dolly vita obscured and snail...pre gish era if im not mistaken, was about to happen Treat songs such as rhinoceros like teasers Magical❤ Given i lost track of said video overtime, i might have remembered about it one day and thats a clear sign it struck me evidently (how could it not) and thats how after grueling research i finally managed to track it back For quite some time my only knowledge of the smashing pumpkins been this only video, with these sparce yet lush and vibrant acoustic renditions of classics, but that i only learned later (: Yea i did a mess, it's a mess of a message and a mess of a story, but thats where i come from, thats why seeing corgan playing a song like snail here brings me all the way back to this hell of a backstory

[@MyDadLeftMe3]

But hey, I love a good challenge sometimes, maybe I can figure it out.

He played this song acoustically on Howard stern a long time ago . He played it a little different then too.

[@TheBlackSheepDiaries]

@@sweetmitchellthemdx I never really knew much about SP, they hit as I had just become a single dad and life was nuts. Started my lil chan here just over a year ago, wanted to challenge myself by learning a new song to play at the end of the episodes. It's been ugly at best! Oddly, I've suddenly become fascinated with the music I missed out on, hitting around 1991. I'm getting closer on this one, grabbing bits here and there. I'll look into the Stern version, didn't see it and thanks for sharing. This old man needs all the help he can get! Just love this song, even though I have no idea what it's about!
