It’s funny because here it is. This is the song we wanted. I was thinking “why can’t SP make this.” These guys nailed this thing and I don’t even care who made it. It’s so good I’d just listen to this.
Not just a great impression but such an accurate and well thought out composition too. Green Day got me into music and TSP kept me interested in it, so I love this :)
@@gothfather1 technically speaking I think this guy has a much better voice than Billy, but Billy uses virtually entirely head voice, through to falsetto even, & really punches out the consonants for power. This guy is using power from his chest voice to give punch - a far more traditional (& probably more crowd pleasing & consistent) way of singing, but a COMPLETELY different technique to what Billy uses.
Lol we are going to that show too, in September. It’s always cool when multiple bands are playing and they surprise the audience by joining one another for a song or two. We shall see
You and Mac Glocky have this succinct talent for taking two very different atmospheric soundscape coming up with a sound that feels like it's not only accurate, but tonally feels like it's always existed
@stevewelsh__ good, good. Because I've been following both of you boys for so long; way before Anthony's Alice in Chains BSB covers vid. Everything you guys touch and play with (including our boi Denis P and his Type O shit) is LEGENDARY.
This ticked every single Pumpkins box while somehow not sounding like a Werid Al-esque parody. It just genuinely sounded like a Pumpkins tune. This is extraordinary. It really goes to show how arrangement can utterly change the vibe of a song, and is possibly the most essential component to the recording process.
Two suggestions for other videos: If The Smashing Pumpkins wrote "Them Bones" by Alice In Chains or If Alice In Chains wrote "Cherub Rock" by The Smashing Pumpkins
As a 12/13 yr old when these came out I listened to NOTHING but these 2 tapes, As a 41yr old now... Freaking AMAZING!!! This mash up brought up crazy feelings!!
I was like, he would have to try to mess this up considering the chord progression is basically “Today” lol. You nailed it! Exceeded my expectations. The little bendy octave riffs at the end of each cycle of the chord progression, the combination of the breathy, nasaly and snarly vocals, it was great. You really understand the nuances that make the Pumpkins sound the way they do
Omfg!!! You totally captured that smashing pumpkins sound. That is badass!!! Having 2 of my favorite bands in one song. I hope Billy sees this video and does the same.
The attention to detail here was amazing. It's not just immitating Billy but it's a reimagination of what Billy would have done in 1994. Production was very good and accurate. Dynamics were very appropriate. Really really great job. (And I usually glance over the whole If X wrote X gimmick).
This is a really cool musical composition. I like how you blended the sounds of these two bands. The Smashing Pumpkins and Green Day are two of my faves, and I think you nailed the essence of both bands' styles.
The title was cut off on my main youtube page so I was thinking "How is he going to pull of this voice"... now I totally understand. Great job you two!
lol Dookie was the first CD I ever chose out for myself right after it was released when I was in middle school, so it's really important to me... and The Smashing Pumpkins were really important to me and the first girl I dated later in the summer between middle and high school. So when I say this is SUPREMELY WELL DONE, I'm saying this about a mashup of two things I super love, which hold IMMENSE personal meaning for me, which usually fails more than it succeeds, imo. So fucking BRAVO!!!!!!
Dude, that is sick. And the facial expressions really sell it. This is like the best Billy Corgan impression I've ever seen anyone do. That's amazing! Great work
today was rough, I feel shitty. I always feel shitty. I cannot tell you how much I loved this and how happy it made me... ill be around this channel till I die! ❤😊😊😊
I love it that somebody is actually making the music that my subconscious is composing inside my brain from childhood without me knowing it. Keep up the good work!
How SICK are Macs vocals!!?? What’s your fav Pumpkins song? 🎃 Mines Mayonaise 😎
The solo with the Today riff was great
Oh yes that was quite amazing but again I must ask PLEASE for weezers Getchoo In the style of Nirvana
I've been following you both since that Back Street Boys to AIC challenge... Please, do Green Day "Macy's Day Parade" in the style of Nirvana, thanks!
Same, Mayonaise. Epic.
Bullet With Butterfly Wings
Who needs AI when you have great folks like this?
AI is soulless garbage. I dread the day people begin paying for any music produced by AI. It would be a disaster.
Every single AI cover you see on youtube is bullshit
Exactly.

Green Pumpkins - Today I Come Around
...fronted by Billie Joe Corgan.
Smashing Day - I Come Around Today
Smash today - green when I come
This one!@@chasmonaghan521
😂 in the category of ‘once you go gwar you don’t go far’ bahahahaha
The only thing better than this track is watching the facial contortions required for such an accurate Billy C. vocal sound. Well done!
i thought the same
Not to mention how he moves his body to support such a sound, very well done indeed!
yea, he looks like a voice actor doing a cartoon character
But damn the aggressive vocal is EXACTLY Corgan. The softer voice is close
You guys are high, this doesn´t sound like Billy. More like a cartoonish impression.
dude does angry billy corgan perfectly
That's true!
Except that he's a much better singer than Billy
How can I feel this nostalgic for something I've never heard before
Aside from the late 60’s to early 70’s, the 90’s was the greatest era for incredible music, in quality and quantity.
The scientific term for this phenomenon is "Anemoia." Look it up. It's very interesting. Have a great day!
100% I can hear this playing at the town pool on a hot July day in 1994. I can smell the sunscreen and chlorine and French fries
@@Chrishelmuth1978 ty ❤ now i can too !!
It’s funny because here it is. This is the song we wanted. I was thinking “why can’t SP make this.” These guys nailed this thing and I don’t even care who made it. It’s so good I’d just listen to this.
Merging the main riff of "Today" with the solo of "When I Come Around" was melodic perfection. A winner is you! 💚
Jay!! u would know a thing or two about mash ups/stylistic covers!
Absolutely love it whenever I stumble across everyone’s boy Jay Hunter in a comment section
Cheers legend! 🤘🏻⚡️
Well...I was on a music kick but I guess I'll go watch one of the 80s era ppvs on OSW and see what baaaaar was who. A winner is ME!
Thats because it's almost identical songs to begin with. Natural fit
As someone who loved smashing pumpkins as a teenager and "when i come around" was on repeat as a teenager, this was fucking PERFECT.
Pun intended?
This cover is nostalgia
about halfway through, I forgot that I was in the universe where this is a Green Day song.
It’s not anymore.
Literally same.
Yep😂
😅😅😅
Me too. If I didn't know about the existence of Green Day's song, I'd totally believe that this track IS by The Smashing Pumpkins. This was perfect.
You even nailed Billy's deliberately random gravely voice at the exact same moments he would pull that move in his own songs 😮
Not just a great impression but such an accurate and well thought out composition too. Green Day got me into music and TSP kept me interested in it, so I love this :)
Cheers legend! Glad you like it 🤘🏻⚡️
Now do If Green Day wrote 'Today'
Closing Time by Semisonic has a similar riff.
Lyrically, that would be their song "Uptight"
Absolutely! Do Green Day ‘Today’!
it's the same song
@@3cs3hs😂
I like this version even better
i don't like Greenday these days
Dude freaking nailed Corgan's voice.
Couldn’t agree more 👍
LOL. Not at all.
I thought it was the worst bit - waaayyy too breathy & nowhere near nasal enough.
@@alexfrance500from that perspective it was somewhat of an improvement.
I think he got the 1992/3 Billy voice quite close though.
@@gothfather1 technically speaking I think this guy has a much better voice than Billy, but Billy uses virtually entirely head voice, through to falsetto even, & really punches out the consonants for power. This guy is using power from his chest voice to give punch - a far more traditional (& probably more crowd pleasing & consistent) way of singing, but a COMPLETELY different technique to what Billy uses.
now I need Smashing Pumpkins to play this live during the tour with Green Day this summer.
If Billy and Joe do a duet of it, expect it to exceed the price value of the cost of the ticket.
Lol we are going to that show too, in September. It’s always cool when multiple bands are playing and they surprise the audience by joining one another for a song or two. We shall see
As an old fan of both Smashing Pumpkins and Green Day, this sets my head into a spin. I don't know what's real anymore. 😂
9/10
Not giving 10/10 because Mac did not shave his head.
Valid
Wrong.....Billy had long hair then short hair in the early 90s......the uncle fester look came later
😂
😂
I'm pretty sure he used to have his head shaved
You and Mac Glocky have this succinct talent for taking two very different atmospheric soundscape coming up with a sound that feels like it's not only accurate, but tonally feels like it's always existed
Thanks so much! We’ve got some more in the works together already! ⚡️🤘🏻🏄♂️

@@stevewelsh__You guys should start a band together. Even if it was just mash up covers.
Bullet with basketcase wings.
Lmao one of those comments where it just makes you instantly belly chuckle
"Would you like a bullet with your basketcase wings, or just by itself?"
Holy shit! Mac NAILED Billy's vocal cadence!
This is exactly why I love covers. This is done so well. I want a full album of these and would put it on repeat.

TIL Smashing Pumpkins + Green Day = Silversun Pickups
Pretty much, and now I know why I love the Pickups.
@@jasmadams ^ this x1000
That’s a really good observation
ahahaha.....
Holy shit... That's almost dead on. In fact, I just realized SSPU takes a lot from Smashing Pumpkins period. Better bass lines, but nonetheless.
So it's basically Smashing Pumpkins improving on a Green Day song.
How dare you sir
Agreed. I always felt like this was one of Green Day's weakest songs. But this rework is great!
Pleaseeeeee
This sounds like sht. Greenday actually plays a solid riff. Even the bass line is awesome.
Just admit you're uncultured lol
Great impression. Great interpretation. +1 to Billy +1 to Billie +1 to Mac.

As a 12/13 yr old when these came out I listened to NOTHING but these 2 tapes, As a 41yr old now... Freaking AMAZING!!! This mash up brought up crazy feelings!!
Wow. This is impressive. The yelling sounds especially like Billy. Excellent execution all around.
You nailed this, dude. Really well done. You got their drums, guitar and vocals perfect.
Ok, your Corgan voice is unmatched. Perfect
It’s the 90s and I’m watching sliders on tv, the nostalgia is too strong here
Wow, Sliders, excellent reference
😢😢😢😢 I miss 96. My favorite year of all time. 14 yrs old that summer. Independence Day, Sliders, Soundgarden, Baseball, Sega! 😊
Dope Show. Have the DVD box set still 😂
Sneak this into a listening session of Siamese Dream for your friends and see how many of them you can convince this was a lost bonus track...
And that the version we all know by Green Day is a cover
It's frightening how perfectly you can imitate Billy's voice, so it doesn't sound like a song by Billie anymore but instead like one Billy wrote
UnBillievable
@@hudsonjabe my friend
That´s what came on my mind, too.
I see what you did there!
He sounds more like Brian Auburt than Billy Corgan to me.
Today is the greatest day! That was an incredible blend of When I Come Around and Today!
This is literally exactly how I thought that would sound! Great job! I would have thought it was the Pumpkins covering it if I didn't know better.
I didn't know i needed this in my life but i did, lol. Thank you!!
Hell yeah you nailed the Pumpkins sound! This sounds like it could slot right into Gish or Siamese Dream. Killer job on the vocals too. 🤘
YEAH DUDE 🤘🤘🤘
SMASHED it lad 🤘🏻⚡️🤘🏻
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Dude you smashed it, amazing vocals, super accurate
YEAH
0:43 seconds sounds more like Smashing Pumpkins then Smashing Pumpkins does......
Lmao yeah
Prime Corgan
I was like, he would have to try to mess this up considering the chord progression is basically “Today” lol. You nailed it! Exceeded my expectations. The little bendy octave riffs at the end of each cycle of the chord progression, the combination of the breathy, nasaly and snarly vocals, it was great. You really understand the nuances that make the Pumpkins sound the way they do
From Argentina supporting this channel. Wonderful versions!
In dimension c-137 this was a megahit for the pumpkins.
😂😂😂
I guess c-137 has Billy Prime but not Billie Prime
In dimension c-137 the rolling Beatles are still touring and Nirvana is not a one hit wonder 😉
in that dimension iha lost his hair instead. it's pretty creepy I gotta tell you.
When Today’s the greatest day to come around.
Smashing Green Pumpkins Day
this is actually refreshingly good
Omfg!!! You totally captured that smashing pumpkins sound. That is badass!!! Having 2 of my favorite bands in one song.
I hope Billy sees this video and does the same.
The Glocky’s Vocals are superb as usual. He is so good at Billy and his Kurt is amazing. This is a super collab
His Jonathan Davies and Chino are superb aswell
At 58 yrs old, you are making me miss the "good ol' days", lol. Really terrific version, you guys. I'm hooked!
bro im 71 and no cap this is taking me back!
No good standing 71 year old would use "NO CAP" in a comment. You sir are a fraud 😂
wow, I was super young then. good times
Really embodies Billy Corgan's voice & the Pumpkins' instrumentals. Nicely done
Fire, amazing, true talent. Two of my favorite bands growing up. The way you guys hit the melody and notes so perfectly. Dude, 🤯 mind blown.
Absolutely amazing! It sounds like a B sides to Siamese Dreams (pisces iscariot 2.0). :D
The attention to detail here was amazing. It's not just immitating Billy but it's a reimagination of what Billy would have done in 1994. Production was very good and accurate. Dynamics were very appropriate.
Really really great job. (And I usually glance over the whole If X wrote X gimmick).
Not only does this 100% work, it's absolutely pitch perfect.
Awesome job.
This is incredible, especially the Billy yells here and there in the singing
This is a really cool musical composition. I like how you blended the sounds of these two bands. The Smashing Pumpkins and Green Day are two of my faves, and I think you nailed the essence of both bands' styles.
This is so sick!! You nailed this mash-up so perfectly!

I heard this then immediately listened to it about 5 times more in a row, this is amazing 🎉
Fuck yeah dude. Thanx for the good vibes in my 5am drunkin stupor. Hit the spot. Well done my friend.
The low speed chorus effect on the guitar suits the song perfectly.
I will never stop until weezers Getchoo In the style of Nirvana is realized
that would be heavy as fuck but that's kind of a niche song by weezer so idk if he'll do it, he probably does requests on patreon tho if you have $$
@@brimphemus thank for that information but I am dirt poor
If you want weezer in the style of nirvana just listen to Pinkerton...
@@the_panosit's hard to imagine Kurt singing Pink Triangle
I love the mash up of the Green Day solo and the intro to Today
Dude, that is sick. And the facial expressions really sell it. This is like the best Billy Corgan impression I've ever seen anyone do.
That's amazing! Great work
That was shockingly amazing. I salute you
The little cheeky 'Today' riff in there every now and then really sells this
OMG yes!! I needed this, haha! 90's kids unite
I like how he snuck the lead riff from Today in there.
You guys are awesome! Thank you for doing this.
i love that you put the melody for closing time in the background gave it a fuller sound 😄
Expected A.I. , got talent. Great work
its so underrated how much detail you put it into matching the artist. i mean this is exactly how billie would play and sing this 👍
This is SICK 🔥🔥🔥
you blew my mind bro...!!! this version is amazing...!!!!
This is way too good. Well done Steve, Well done Mac. Absolutely spot on pastiche of SP’s sound. Amazing job!
Mac Glocky's ability to do vocal impressions of highly atypical singers like Billy Corgan and Chino Moreno is bewildering.
If you close your eyes, you can literally hear billy corgan's voice 🤯
Dude this is an effin awesome version of the song. Spot on. Great job guys! I’m sharing this video immediately!
Holy cow, I closed my eyes and I can imagine Billy Corgan singing. Mac even nailed the movement and behaviour on point.
This is so spot on, incredible vocal impression
This is the best rendition of singing in Smashing Pumpkins that I’ve heard.
so spot on perfect! - guitar, vocals, arrangement, everything
0:42 Incredible Smashing Pumpkins impression!! This is gold.
I think he was aiming for more than just 1 second
I don't normally hit the subscribe button, but this is amazing! Subscribed! Thank you for this amazing creation.
Okay, the way you mashed up the riff from Today with the solo was brilliant and I did not miss it
Spot on!! This makes me more nostalgic for the 90s than listening to either of those bands.
today was rough, I feel shitty. I always feel shitty. I cannot tell you how much I loved this and how happy it made me... ill be around this channel till I die! ❤😊😊😊
From the vocals… to the guitars… I enjoyed watching this again and again… awesome work! 👍💯
I love it that somebody is actually making the music that my subconscious is composing inside my brain from childhood without me knowing it. Keep up the good work!
The collab that I didn't know that I needed! So good!
this gave me chills.... wow that was hella clean loved it... i can legit hear the mix of the two bands
Wow this was awesome! Loved the little today like notes in the song
THIS IS SIMPLY ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! NAILED THE VOCAL EXACTLY
This is so great man! I remember buying Siamese Dream, and I remember buying Dookie... back in the 90s man. Love it
the mix of the guitar work between the two lead parts is so fantastic; it makes sense it retrospect but I would have never thought to do it
Effing WONDERFUL. You just made my evening.
This is amazing. Thank you for making this.
A Day to Smash Green Pumpkins
I keep coming back. This has become my favorite 90s song!! 🙌🏼
Brilliant! Thank you!
One of the best yet from this channel!
