They knew cause Jimmy was already not showing up for sessions because of his dope habit, and Iha and Darcy had broken up, so you have a bit of a Fleetwood Mac "Rumors" vibe there. Also Darcy had begun to enjoy her coke. So I think they laughed because they could feel the vibe.
Siamese Dream, best album. Mellon Collie immediately after. What could have been if Jimmy had been able to contribute to Adore? I'll always wonder. I'm happy that Billy is still putting out new music. Truly Happy for him. Keep it up, Billy!
As the Soma solo weeps like a dying angel who just became a demon before death, making it lost to the abyss.. And laments it's existance, wishing it had never been born, as the only thing left for its soul is the perpetual, scorching fires of HELL. That's what it sounds like to me anyways haha...
Guitar geeks, that sunburst he's playing there is almost certainly the one that was sprayed silver and became the "Bat Strat" for the SD and MCIS tours. Awesome.
Yeah, it’s the Bat Strat alright. He used it to do most of his rhythm parts, whereas the black and red Strat was used for most of the clean parts and solos
i remember when smashing pumpking sold their gear on ebay. I looked for they Digitech Valve Fx preamp with all the original presets that they used in siamese dream , it was sold for about 700 usd. Other gear that i rememeber were some drum's pieces
Same part where he got two subpar players rich and famous while he did most of the work. Jimmy was disappearing for days strung out on dope so that was their way of getting back at him. But yeah, he is the only other worthy member. Darcy and Iha are window dressing and they got a free ride. Poor babies.
I don't blame him for doing that many takes, if you were a drummer you would understand. The guitar riff in that song is so ambiguous I'd have no idea what to play if someone came to me with that riff
I saw the pumpkins on lollapalooza in 94 and loved hearing Gish and Siamese Dream! Both records are pure HEAVEN! Billy, James, Darcy, and Jimmy doesn’t get better than that! I’m not gonna lie: I REALLY MISS DARCY BEING IN THIS BAND 💔
that's what Tom is saying. I know this is old and all, but notice how he mentioned the suicidal lyrics you just told him about? then he said "think again"?
This is such a great video! A visual time-capsule of the pumpkins creating one of their legendary albums (and the most important thing, just to see Billy with a full head of hair!)
Take track 1 and record a four count click right after a huge start to a part, flip tape over and you have that click on track 24. Press record on track 23 and after the the four count from track 24, smash a cymbal. Flip tape over and now you have reverse cymbal hit leading into the part on track two.
the pumpkins in the 90's were an era that can NOT be beaten by ANYTHING!! i would spend a million bucks (not that i have them :)) to experience the same 90's again :)
wait jimmy's actually clean and not wasted out of his mind and james and darcy are actually playing? this is not how i pictured the recording of this album
@@rileyjohnson2138 apparently it was a DIFFERENT sitar. They couldn't get the case open, so they borrowed one from some band called The Swimming Pool Q's sitar.
This is one of the best things on the Vieuphoria DVD. "We just think it's really cool to show people that we have a sitar. In fact, it's cool we can't get it open!"
Butch Vig actually told billy that james and darcy werent good enough and took too long to record their bits. Bit more backstory but thats the main case. billy may be a perfectionist but i doubt that much. if you have a dead line and a budget you gotta keep it.
So far it's been 26 years. Why did you have it sealed for at least 15 years? How did you listen to it? Did you buy two copies? One to listen to and the other to keep sealed? A fan would have played it immediately, I suspect. I'm sure you have a reasonable explanation behind bragging about a record you bought with no intention of listening to it. I'm just curious as to what that explanation is.
@bigmuffexpress It's wierd they didn't have that on the extended version (The Unbearable Likeness of Manny). They just showed a short clip of that with "Today" playing in the background.
yeah of course they did something, I just doubt there input, darcy especially made the final cut. but billy was just a maniac and would record like all 17 guitar overlays of Soma himself.
Yeah he's a great musician, but when he tried to mostly produce it himself post Pumpkins 1.0, Zeitgeist happened. Best to stick with Kerry Brown or maybe even bring Flood back into the fold :)
Well I have heard that Billy didn't like James and Darcys recordings on the Siamese dream and erased them and did it himself because he is a Perfectionist to the extreme obviously hah

Don't forget the album they released in between in 1994. Pisces Iscariot. if you are referring to studio albums only then you are correct.
What is your opinion on Adore? I feel like it was ahead of its time personally.
I laughed to myself when Butch said that Siamese Dream is happy...
He meant the tone of the album. Not the lyrics.

Billy's grandma bought him the sweater and the haircut
😂😂😂
2:16 MADE ME CRY OH MY GOD
One of the best albums of all time... maybe even my # 1 lol
i remember when smashing pumpking sold their gear on ebay. I looked for they Digitech Valve Fx preamp with all the original presets that they used in siamese dream , it was sold for about 700 usd. Other gear that i rememeber were some drum's pieces
Oh man whoever owns that is insanely lucky.
Where's the part where Billy "Kubrick"Corgan records all the guitar and bass himself and makes Jimmy do 78 takes of "Cherub Rock?"
When the camera turns off
Same part where he got two subpar players rich and famous while he did most of the work. Jimmy was disappearing for days strung out on dope so that was their way of getting back at him. But yeah, he is the only other worthy member. Darcy and Iha are window dressing and they got a free ride. Poor babies.
And also makes Jimmy’s hands bleed as a result of him forcing him to do that.
I respect Corgan’s ambition from the 90s, but he was an asshole.
I read that's what Butch Vig forced him to do, the sound of the record was way important than band's recording of it
I don't blame him for doing that many takes, if you were a drummer you would understand. The guitar riff in that song is so ambiguous I'd have no idea what to play if someone came to me with that riff
I saw the pumpkins on lollapalooza in 94 and loved hearing Gish and Siamese Dream! Both records are pure HEAVEN! Billy, James, Darcy, and Jimmy doesn’t get better than that! I’m not gonna lie: I REALLY MISS DARCY BEING IN THIS BAND 💔
I was also there my friend. Tinley Park
best album in rock history.
Thank you!
the best album,
the best billy's look,
the best band members!
Butch Vig probably has the most recognizable voice I've ever heard. Like the epitome of calm and control.
Oh my god James' laugh. Precious baby.
'There is a lot of happy songs' Soma, Spaceboy, Today (The suicidal lyrics), Disarm, Luna.... Think again
What the fuck mate, Today is about fucking suicide and Disarm is about a fucking wasted childhood, you are to be banned for yt
that's what Tom is saying. I know this is old and all, but notice how he mentioned the suicidal lyrics you just told him about? then he said "think again"?
Butch talk about the tone of the album, not about the lyrics.
Man 1 "What do you think keeps a band together?" Man 2 "well it ain't Billy Corgan!" Man 1 "What do you think makes great music?" Man 2 "Billy Corgan"
"In fact so cool we can't get it open" lmaoooooo
It’s a bit scary that we already celebrated the 30th birthday of this album.
I love siamesedream so much its my myspace url
How can one band be so infinitely amazing!
Cool man.
This is such a great video! A visual time-capsule of the pumpkins creating one of their legendary albums (and the most important thing, just to see Billy with a full head of hair!)
1:30 Jimmy with an ashtray on a cymbal stand. Fuckin legend...
I love this. Thank you for uploading it. :-)
I wish every tv reporter on television would sign of with " I gotta go now , bye. "
Take track 1 and record a four count click right after a huge start to a part, flip tape over and you have that click on track 24. Press record on track 23 and after the the four count from track 24, smash a cymbal. Flip tape over and now you have reverse cymbal hit leading into the part on track two.
Theres Butch in that damn vest Billy said he always wore lmao Billy wasnt lying!
the pumpkins in the 90's were an era that can NOT be beaten by ANYTHING!! i would spend a million bucks (not that i have them :)) to experience the same 90's again :)
DJ Mithril [Vermin80] pretty much impossible to reconstruct it now , having a lot of trouble trying to put that vibe into exceptable music now
No tension there at all..nice ski sweater Bill although seeing this footage gives me chills all the same.
One of the best recording console ever made (albums too). I record on the same one, once you get used to it no other console will do.
Agreed
wait jimmy's actually clean and not wasted out of his mind and james and darcy are actually playing? this is not how i pictured the recording of this album
for the camera, my friend...for the camera..
Billy carefully constructed the bands image.
Jimmy was there at some point to lay his tracks. Billy could have taken care of everything else.
@@kristopherryanwatson Even if Billy played a lot of the stuff in the studio they practiced like crazy collectively to perform the songs live.
woah the last question
happy b-day siamese dream !!
2:16 THAT LITERALLY JUST KILL ME HAHAHAHA
Is that sitar responsible for the little noodle at the beginning of Hummer?
This nerd needs to know!
Probably not. I think they only used the sitar for the background melodies in Luna.
I thought the intro to Hummer was a backwards sitar recording. Could be wrong.
@@rileyjohnson2138 apparently it was a DIFFERENT sitar. They couldn't get the case open, so they borrowed one from some band called The Swimming Pool Q's sitar.
Great upload. Thank you.
hahahaha billy's face at 1:39 is the best thing i've ever seen... it brings much joy to everyone i know
wow this is a blast from the past!! LOVE IT
This is one of the best things on the Vieuphoria DVD.
"We just think it's really cool to show people that we have a sitar. In fact, it's cool we can't get it open!"
I lol'ed at the screaming mellotron and un-openable sitar case haha
BUTCH!!!! I love you so much
Like ya cut g
brilliant song!
Butch Vig actually told billy that james and darcy werent good enough and took too long to record their bits. Bit more backstory but thats the main case. billy may be a perfectionist but i doubt that much. if you have a dead line and a budget you gotta keep it.
Billy's fleece sweater was also worn during the Gish era.
the search for the yeti. hahahahhaha priceless!
I'm loving Billy's Cosby sweater. 😂
they probably recorded together and then Billy overwrote their tracks later at special midnight meetings with Butch
"Alright, end of the charade!" My favorite line from the whole video.
I know, that's the best part!!! :D
butch vig is a god
The number of the beast on likes right now
I can't believe its been 15 years....
25...
@@deadsherry 30 now time fly's guys unfortunately
i still have my siamese dream record sealed thats 15 years i can do another 15
Rowboatcop it’s been 9, is it still sealed?

only 2 to go!
Guess what time it is
LOLOLOLOL I TOTALLY ROFLED AT JAMES'S LAUGH LMFAO SO CUTE HAHAHAHAHA GOD I LOVE SP
I can't believe this was recorded in marietta lol
i know…basically recorded in my backyard
sooooo awesome. why can't the pumpkins sound like they used to? =/
@bigmuffexpress It's wierd they didn't have that on the extended version (The Unbearable Likeness of Manny). They just showed a short clip of that with "Today" playing in the background.
ah I forgot about James' asian laugh at the end. excellent work!
the end when they all laugh is hilarious
I hear those sessions were extremely tense.
Billy with his price valiant hair cut
Man I had the biggest crush on Darcy back then
yeah of course they did something, I just doubt there input, darcy especially made the final cut. but billy was just a maniac and would record like all 17 guitar overlays of Soma himself.
I love the pumpkins they are one of my top 3 bands and always will be but what the fuck did i just watch xD
Is That A Jag At 1:34!?
haha. d'arcy and james look all pissed.
Billy’s hair gives him a Jerry Harrison vibe.
🙂👍
2:03 man billy is huge and his hair makes him look hilarious
this video makes me feel like i’ve smoked too much weed
@1:12 Yeti that walk.
"Get the fuck outta here!" .....and they all did...
3:13 James is laughing =)))
These are the sessions when Jimmy was so fucked up that Billy threatened to replace him with Butch, lol
Didn't know he used a jaguar on Siamese Dream
Can someone tell me what he said, please? here 3:06 I'm brazilian, I don't understand very well
"What do you think keeps a band together?"
thanks
Angry op amps
Billy corgan 🎸
Why are Darcy and James there?
3:09 LMFAO! xD
"this album is has more happy songs on it" lol
2:50
Yeah he's a great musician, but when he tried to mostly produce it himself post Pumpkins 1.0, Zeitgeist happened. Best to stick with Kerry Brown or maybe even bring Flood back into the fold :)
Zwans album also sounded like shit
He needs a strong visionary producer that knows how to work with him like Butch and Flood.
Tell me a little something about the pumpkins. Best fucking band on earth!
it's so weird watching this now... awesome, though
what song was that?
happy songs?
Well I have heard that Billy didn't like James and Darcys recordings on the Siamese dream and erased them and did it himself because he is a Perfectionist to the extreme obviously hah
A COSBY SWEATER!!
Butch wasn't joking about the bi-phase lol
how'd he lose all that hair????
they barely did any work.... James worked on "Geek USA" alot, but billy and jimmy were awesome
How would you know? Were you there?
Ah Yes the Original is the best sry to say nd at their BEST..SP ROCKS!!!
his 65 dollar guitar brings much joy! lol
is that hair!
3:09 I have the answer, it´s something that they don´t use now
that record still pisses my neighbours off
@darkshiningstar3 it's called sarcasm
Bi-phase !!! Wooo
happier songs on Siamese Dream... holy shit i dont think so
Lol. billy has hair!
i think he uses a fender blender in bullet.
