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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
Imagine if they made an album in this heavy style with Melissa
gawd, this is aggressive
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.
Best comment
lights too
@@brandon0099 oh I didn’t forget. It’s listed in the original comment. What an incredible scene this had to be live. Unreal.
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
I find myself having to play this video daily now. It's so heavy.
Check out the circular key gig in Australia live it’s amazing too
Heavy as hell, Melissa on the bass
This is the best live version of this song....by far
It really is. This may be my favorite live pumpkins performance of any song.
This version turns the goth up to 11, almost like if it was made for the machina albums
R u sure? Wheres the intro?

For sure wish there was a studio remix of this version

Didnt melisa OD
Damn this version is fucking dope
I remember this version
Dropped to the lowest c possible lol
I KNEW this was a lower tuning! sounds amazing
Why?
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.
This version is dripping with nasty!!
WOW, this is an amazing version
I'll miss my face, but this was worth it
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
same!
Just when you thought this song couldn't get anymore filthy
That time Lord Voldemort fronted the Pumpkins...
lol two of my favorite franchises
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
When he says just like me it sounds like a bat out of hell. I love you billy
So glad I managed to see them during the sacred and profane tour
Damn you’re lucky
THIS IS INSANEE

Yes I want to know
@@Stabby__ search up "Smashing Pumpkins 2000-01-24 Muziekcentrum Vredenburg; Utrecht, NL" on youtube for the full 2 hour concert :)
Melissa went the fuck off on this performance
holy fuck

From the guys that brought you Drown and Today
Tempo off it’s guts lol
One of my favorite bands, but the cover of this video made him look like Voldemort 😭,
Why do they play it so fast?
Because they can
Why not play it fast?
Is this tuned down to C standard? (same tuning as The Everlasting Gaze)
Yes
Who is playing bass ?
Geezer Butler
bass zabija
Was this in Saskatoon, outside of Sask Place?
What tuning?
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?
Yeah, C Standard, Queens Tuning
Definitely C-standard
