And there's still just so much more. Even off channel, listen to this whole double cd, it's incredible as a body of work that you will certainly appreciate...
Yeah... I'll be 💯 with you here. "Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage" is the ENTIRE ethos of Gen-X. We felt that way when the song was written... we STILL feel like that. 💯 THIS one does "strange" things to people my age, who otherwise would be at your kids PTA meeting. 💯😎
Skeez Love your reactions because you are spot on with your analysis regarding the lyrics. You get the pure energy and emotion of the guitars and overall music. The pumpkins are one of my favorite bands. Keep up the reactions... Your killing it.
"Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness, and cleanliness is godliness, and GOD IS EMPTY JUST LIKE ME". Angst from every teenager in the 90's put into words, brilliantly!
After playing this live on the Howard Stern Show (he's a HUGE support of Billy and the band) Howard says softly, "Jesus Christ" then is speechless. Watch it in TH-cam. You'll say the same. I just saw the Pumpkins in concert and I'm a 52-y.o white lady who's loved this band since Gish. I have bruises on my arms and thighs still from that concert and have no clue how they got there! I was jumping and thrashing too hard in the stands I guess. Playlist was on FIRE that night and I'll see them every tour from now on.
What's nuts about Smashing Pumpkins that if you see some of their live shows from the 90s, their sets are heavy as fuck. We've been at a weird period of music over the past perhaps 20 years now, we used to have rock and metal in the charts.. Now we have the same quality metal and rock "hits" that aren't pushed into the pop world, yet the songs are far better than anything we had pushed on us in top 40 pop charts in 90s and 2000s.
Overlooked and underrated. These guys are good. I think nobody really liked billy corgan so the music took a hit. Another great reaction from SCEEZ. thoughtful, perceptive, and right on target. How does he do it time after time. Hall of fame reactor. Just give the man a song and get out of his way.
Sceez you know how to piss someone off when they are already pissed off? Say excuse me (name) despite all of your rage you are still just a rat in a cage and walk away LOL
One of the best 90s songs! ♥
Grammy win for Best Rock Song that year it came out.
Chicago's very own Smashing Pumpkins
And there's still just so much more. Even off channel, listen to this whole double cd, it's incredible as a body of work that you will certainly appreciate...
1979, Mayonaise, and Cherub Rock are my 3 favorites of theirs.. Billy Corgan just absolutely belts it
Mayonnaise is definitely my fave by them...I hope he reacts to that soon
I’m really surprised somebody hasn’t sampled the bass line of this and made a fire track. This vibe feels even more relevant today than in the 90’s

Lmao you’re a vibe bro, I listen to hip hop, drill most of my life and last year I discover the pumpkins and now it’s a diff type of time.
Omg, love this song!! I was going to request it. Fire 🔥
LOVE THIS SONG!
Happy to power up my headphones for this one this is a deep cut... Love it this is my school days..but I know lots of bangers
SMASHING SCEEZ
One of my favourite lyrics of all time is "Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage".
Gen x folks really identified with those lyrics...I rocked this hit big time.
@@kimmycook2698 yup ✌💖☮

@@jennifercrosdale5391 glad I dont play with anyone's invisible imaginary friend
I was in my early 20's during this era...loved their vibe so much.
late 20s for me ✌💖☮
🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥 great reaction ❤
He always catches everything. Love it! He's the best reactor out there..no ass kissing. I mean that.
Love the drums! It's mad sick! It's also why I love 7 Nation Army by The White Stripes and Enter Sandman by Metallica.

This song was about the music industry (but yeah, could also be about life)
Please react to Mayonnaise by the Smashing Pumpkins... it's such a sonically beautiful song
Had this cassette-single...
One of the best hooks
The world is a vampire
I have NEVER seen anyone pick up the meaning of this song so fast!
Dude you never miss
It's about Kurt Cobain
Please do some more Linkin Park.

Can you fake it for one more show.....damn
Sharon Osborne was their manager at the time and we all know how she is to work with....
Nothing to do with the "music industry". It's about his struggle to come to God and feeling like he is not making it
Zero
It's not about the music industry, but you sure do like to talk a lot, don't you
