A Message From Billy Corgan about Gish & Siamese Dream:
Gish
"Recorded in 1990 and 1991, 'Gish' represents our first foray into the deep waters of rock and roll. In the music within, I still hear our naivete and fresh spirits asking to be heard, and I miss the times that helped make this music so earnest."
Siamese Dream
"In 1992, with the weight of a perceived world on our shoulders, we disappeared into a parking garage to write the songs that would change the course of our lives forever. 'Siamese Dream' represents all of our dreams coming true, while the dreams of a happy band fell apart."

Siamese Dream is my favourite album of all time. I refuse to skip any song on the album, because I love it so much. That's all :D
WikkSiva cool, that's how I feel about Gish
Let's make -babies- music together
you shouldeny skip songs on alot of albums
melloncollie is great
There is literally not one second of poor music on Siamese Dream… easily one of the best albums of the 90’s
so meee
Nearly 28 years later... I *still* adore Gish very much. Siamese dream is a close second. Love them. Long live the 90’s, in my heart. 😄💌
Butch Vig is a master of forming dirt into pretty glass, without loosing too much of the dirt.
He also produces Garbage.
Met Butch and SP in Marietta, Ga.(happened to be in my band 'Nightshade Project's touring circuit - 1993) while they were finishing 'Siamese Dream' sessions . The Pumpkins were not yet an established name, so the thrill was meeting Butch, who had produced 'Nevermind' for Nirvana. Becoming friends with Billy paid off for us, because on April 9th, 1994 we were booked to open for them in Tallahassee, Fl. Our manager Tony Scott told us he asked for us specifically.
machoman savage congrats. a victim of all the media trash talk about Billy. if you truly knew the band, you would know the truth. poor you.
Bleikr Sound OOH BOYYY
double entendre
Billy is the King of Alt-Rock, Gish, Siamese Dream, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and Pisces Iscariot all awesome and made the 90s cool.
Even Pisces Iscariot was a great album! Real dark, simple, harsh and beautiful. I put any of these 3 albuns before Mellon Collie.
I love Cherub Rock so much. So nice to hear it on an acoustic guitar and the riff still cuts right through you.
When the album starts off with this song all gentle with the sound getting fuller & fuller until the guitar blasts in, just hit's the spot for me. One of the best intros ever.
Corgan is one of the great song writers of our time. The Pumpkins announced themselves as being like no other band at the time with the opening bars of Gish (and that Chamberlain was going to change the way rock drummers thought about drumming). I was in my 30's when Gish and 'Dream came out. I'm in my 60s and still listen to these two albums regularly. Loud. They still both work me into a frenzy and move me to tears. Thank you Billy Corgan.
his voice is so unique
One the best rock songwriters!
Siamese Dream is a masterpiece.
All time favorite record
I think that the last little verse in "Hummer" was the greatest thing that billy wrote, and also the greatest thing that will ever be written by anyone anywhere
omg..he played suffer! that song saved my life in 1991 when i was 13
wow..
The band I grew up with :)
the pumpkins are the reason i started searching for music that had more meaning to it than simply sounding cool, and ultimately is the reason i try to write music with meaning and somehow merge experimental with pop
PLEASE Release More of these amazing videos !
Hadn't played Siamese Dream for about 15 years, but for some reason picked out the cd to play in the car going to work yesterday. Played it again today & will be again tomorrow.
The intro on Cherub Rock into the heavier guitar, just top drawer. Loving it all over again.
I can say without the slighest doubt I WILL be buying one of each reissue from the pumpkins. I still have every CD/Casette I bought when they first came out and it will be an honor to have the reissues too! The pumpkins helped me now I'll help them by continuing to support
I was listening to Gish in my car the other day..I pulled into the store parking lot and sat there till the cd was over..I had it turned up really loud and people just kept walking by.. good stuff...I just had to play it through...
Lol i literally just did that. Love it!!
Re-release the complete Machina album already
"I think that's why many people stil identify to it, because it has a "reach for something bigger than yourself" quality. Yes, Billy. Almost teared up when he said that.
Gish blew me away from the very first note, and i felt so lucky to have heard it way back in 1991. It's STILL to this day one of my top 5 favorite albums ever. it's just brilliant and moves me EVERY time i listen to it, even now, more more than 20 years later.
Glad to see the Pumpkins are hanging in there. They're my favorite band ever.
Siamese dream is the best album of all time and i aint saying that cause im a fan it just is......
Even after all of these years, he's still an amazing singer :)
I've been listening to Gish a lot lately, and it's been growing on me. At first the only songs I liked were Siva and Rhinoceros but now I'm really digging some of the other songs, Crush especially. Snail seems to be a huge fan favorite, which I don't quite get yet, but it strikes me as a grower, so I'll probably be loving it in a few weeks :P
Siamese Dream cured me of my fear of flying. It was a flight from Anchorage AK to Seattle, which had stops at every town with an airport in Alaska. The plane went up then down about half dozen times, landing and taking off, and so on. Somehow the music mimics jet propulsion. It sounds like burning rocket fuel. I think it reinforced the invincibility of horsepower in my brain and instead of hyperventilating it felt like a hit of some wonderful street drug that hasn't been invented yet. Pure elation, pure oxygen and the very best MDA finally coursing over British Columbia southbound at 30,000 feet. That's what the Pumpkins and our Siamese Dream do to me.
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 💔
This is unbelievably awesome! Finally remastered, and bonus tracks! Can't wait to get them! Cheers!
thank you billy to have change my life
I hope they do these type of videos for MCIS and all subsequent album reissues... These are always awesome to me.
YouOrTheEgg do you know what is even better, getting the band back together, it was awesome
@Poenut Thanx for the tip. It's actually Martin D45. I own myself a Martin D15 which is a beautiful guitar, but this baby with its price of above 7000€ (9000$) is a perfection :) I didn't recognized it's a Martin since it has the Martin sign written differently compared to the other models.
Wish I had a time machine! The good old days and great music.
Great vid!!! Couple times I found it hard to listen to what Billy was saying cause I was drawn into his singing in the background :)
Love love love xxx
When I saw the new Siamese Dream reissue I had to buy it. Love you Billy
Billy with your soul forever.
You guys are still being criticized to this day for being "too good".
I love the Pumpkins even more than when I was 17, I listen EVERYDAY!!
Siamese dream is my all time favorite album
part of it probably is because he is so articulate and has something to say, which his hard to find in this business today.
I got the “remastered” versions, but somehow I was unaware of she “deluxe” versions with all the extra material, and now it’s crazy expensive to get any of them on any kind of physical media. very sad.
2:57 - I like the Siamese cover a lot, but this one would've been amazing too!
My wife randomly entered my email into the Loudwire giveaway for the Gish and Siamese Dream reissues and I won. Ha ha. Should be getting them in a few days. Can't freaking wait! I love my wife. :)
How’d that go?
Amazing that it has been 20 years.
That's a great sounding acoustic!
He played Crush, Suffer, Daydream, I'm going crazy from Gish and then Today, Cherub Rock, Disarm from Siamese Dream. That's it.
awwww Daydream.....D'arcy sing's on that song. Now I wish the gang were back together.
What happened to the rest of these videos where Billy plays Rocket, Starla etc??
Still waiting for the Machina reissue!!!
@IncliningPizza one of the best songs i've ever listen.
the cherub rock main riff- the riff that made me want to play guitar
He inspires me to play guitar
What happended to the rest of the vídeos of this series??
That's the usual deal these days with re-releases.
You'd think they'd offer a double CD - one compressed and one not. Then the listener can make their own mind up whether to go for loudness or dynamics.
The pumpkins are amazing.
This band rocks!!!!
hes still a great preformer
vida por siempre a smashing pumpkings la mejor banda del mundo♪♥☺♥♪♪
viva billy corgan
RESPECT!
Love the. Smashing. Pumkins. Love. The. 90s.
I love the first three Pumpkins albums and the compilation Pisces BUT I’m not a fan of the remastered versions. They feel stripped of the frequency fullness the originals had. It’s especially apparent on the remastered version of Starla. I don’t understand what they were going for with the remastered versions.
this is gonna be my favourite christmas present :)
@danrocks1981
I know what you mean. You know there plenty of rockin' goodness in there, but it's mastered that little bit too quiet. People complain about the so-called "Loudness war" with CDs but I think lack of volume can be just as bad!
I would really like to know what's that guitar Billy is playing. It sounds beautiful.
I always felt Siamese Dream was too quite compared to a lot of my other albums. I always have to turn it up a bit more.
true, it's all relative. Every generation goes through this.
When the pumpkins were great..
Amazing
damn his voice hasnt lost anything
so cool!
Oh my god...these two albums speak to my soul like nothing else. It is the epitome of youthful irreverence and bliss and hopes and dreams. I'm 29...trying to hold on to whatever I can of all that. Getting older fucking SUCKS. This music has such an aching yearning to it for me...
@kjanosiban i think it is great that he is as you call it "an asshole"
he does it his way and doesnt care. more people should be this way.
C'mon SP release the rest please !!
Why not remaster Melloncollie? Sure as hell could do with it... would be nice to clean it up... such a muddy sounding record.
they are unlisted. at least, 4 and 5 are. you need to get the url's off their facebook page.
smash some pumkins..lol..love these guys since day 1..
When he says that they were criticized for "being too good" I think the criticism was more in the line of, the quality of the albums completly dwarfed the live efforts. They sound great studio but never pull it off live quite as well as one would expect.
Hope Mellon Collie is coming soon
i would love to find or watch the performance part of this video...it probably exists somewhere, if anyone might know link me!
He plays chords like me, extended middle finger. Awesome : )
Can Jimmy come too?
great mind
Yeah!
@MajorKoenig2 Well Done!
Idk man, we're just a two man band like the white stripes and the black keys and we don't really wanna change that @ Jacob Buxton
Smashing Pumpkins is Gish+Siamese Dream.
Gish no. 1
Did he really just play "I'm Going Crazy?"
0:58 Darcy I miss you, I am a bass player because of you :)
@IncliningPizza ya ;) i love this song
then play it!
EMI needs to quit shutting down fanvids that use their music. As long as they continue this policy I will not patronize their label.
@steveparadox1 They are! Next year. :D
@brossive Amazon says mine should arrive Thursday =|
anyone know what guitar Billy's playing here?
Whats the song he's singing at 58 seconds left?
crush
@Metrodragon first is pisces then aeroplane THEN mcis
could i join your band... im the same age.
@steveparadox1 maybe they will in time. right now they taking care of business with the 1st 2 cds. rome wasnt built in a day my friend. sit back and relax.
What the hell happened to the webisodes?
Did they overcompress the shit out of them?
