This is part of why Billy always talks down abut D'Arcy and James as musicians because his version of perfection was so much higher than others and why he played most if not all of the string parts on the early albums. The only reason he did not have issue with Chamberlin was because Billy is not a very good drummer by his own admission so he was always fond of Jimmy as a musician.
@Hectic Von kaos Nope. My opinion. Have heard Pumpkins? Its very original drumming. Especially first few albums. 1. Chamberlin 2. Moon 3. Grohl 4. Carey
@Hectic Von kaos Don't u need to say same to the author of this original post I replied to? He said "Jimmy Chamberlin....the master." (Over 120 people agreed.)
@@heliotroph3750theres great music then there is divine music like this which is far more rare and only materializes when all the stars align perfectly
4:41 I've listened to this song on the record at least 1000 times and have always been amazed by the guitar. I've read Billy/Butch layered something 40 guitar tracks together to make this solo - some of which used an E-bow. I'm super impressed with how well he played it here, live, with a single guitar.
There are two guitars and some effects that are helping get that sound, but it comes down to the fact that Billy and James are great guitarists and play well together.
Billy's performance in this entire show and especially during this song shows how damn talented he and the rest of the band is/was. Loved this album when it came out and still do today.
Soma and Mayonaise have always been my 2 favourite songs from Siamese Dream and probably between all SP songs. With the addition of Thru The Eyes Of Ruby from Mellon Collie.
Yeup. David, I totally agree. Mayonaise is great, but Rhinoceros and Soma just hit me deep. See you in June...and the guitar/lyrics of Soma. Much love to this band, man. I love how they take me back in a heartbeat. Glad to be far from there.
It sounds pretty much like the record. Great live band they were. I love how Soma keeps building up to the big release. Great dynamics. I definitely have to get the Siamese Dream vinyl.
Re-discovered the Pumpkins one of these days, after listening to them up and down in the 90s. I'm blown away once again by the greatness of the Siamese Dream songs...clearly one of the best rock albums ever. And Billy on guitar!? Oh my...most underrated shredder I can think of.
All I have left to do Is run away from you... Close your eyes and sleep Don't wait up for me... Hush now don't you speak to me... The opiate of pain Is your broken heart.. I'm all by myself As I've always felt... I'll betray myself To anyone... The lyrics to this song are friggin' amazing!!! It's a distorted lullaby
Still my favourite Pumpkins song. I love the big stuff like Today, Quiet, Zero, Bullet, Disarm etc, but this is the one I always finish with, I always find myself coming back to this one.
Oh my god this song is everything! Ive been listening to them since I was 9. How do I not remember this song? Its like a dream! I love love the melody of it. Wow this is a gem 😀
Show some respect. The dude practically recorded the entire album by himself (minus drums of course). I don't get people who write a band off because of the vocals, which is just a fragment of the process. There's tons of mediocre singers throughout rock. You're too shallow to understand the greatness of this.
I had a dubbed cassette tape of this album back in the early 90s. And I used to listen to it all the time when I was passing out. But it would always cut off bc the tape would end half way through the guitar solo of the song Soma. I never got to hear how the song ended until maybe last year. And the rest of the album. It was just those first 6 and a 1/2 songs.
It would of been amazing to be at this show I would of been10 and would of remembered every minute I also had the cd. I went2 a show in 2020 in Atlanta and I don't remember one bit,strikingly a perfect night.
🌹❤️ Nothing left to say And all I've left to do Is run away from you She led me on, down With secrets I can't keep Close your eyes and sleep Don't wait up for me Hush now, don't you speak To me Wrapped my hurt in you And took my shelter in that pain The opiate of blame Is your broken heart, heart, your heart So now I'm all by myself As I've always felt And I'll betray my tears To anyone caught in our ruse of fools One last kiss for me, yeah One last kiss goodnight Didn't want to lose you once again Didn't want to be your friend Fulfilled a promise made of tin Crawled back to you I'm all by myself (close your eyes and sleep) As I've always felt (don't wait up for me) I'll betray myself (hush now, don't you speak) To anyone lost, anyone but you So let the sadness come again On that you can depend on me, yeah Until the bitter, bitter end of the world, yeah When God sleeps in bliss
Hola hoy me acorde de un tema musical que lo habia escuchado hace unos 25 años atras y lo grabe en un cassette en el cual mi mente volaba sin limites y acostado en mi cama lo volvi a escuchar ...eso fue una energia que la volvi a experimentar gracias.
Unfortunate what music has become. If I’ve been given one insane sane thing out of this Dante’s Inferno, it’s the Rock n Roll of my Era. The Sins of War have taken my Soul. Nothing can Rape my Mind of Old School Rock n Roll
Superb! The song they opened live somewhere in the south of the States the day Cobain's suicide broke. Appropriate. Was mildly surprised the band did not cancel that show out of respect for Billy's friend Kurt. And for Courtney. But also much respect for going on and playing regardless. Anyway, such a great song and a tremendous performance of Soma here.
I love his part. And almost every video of them playing it live, the camera never switches to cover him. (Which always makes me a bit disappointed.) Both parts are amazing, but the way they complement each other is other-worldly. Such a great song. Truly one of my faves by them.
Hoi. Jeugd sentiment idd. Ik was 15 wanneer ik TSP begon te luisteren. Niemand kent niemand echt. Alleen heel weinig mensen kennen elkaar. Ik ken mijn man en beetjr, dat is alles.
there is actually a really good 90's grunge/alternative/emo revival going on these days, please look for these bands: basement, superheaven, violent soho, milk teeth, recreator, citizen, bully, speedy ortiz.
Siamese Dream is in my top 5 albums of all time, and this is my favorite track from that album. The 90’s was a great time for music, and frankly the last time that music felt important, artistic, with a slight pretentious edge to it. Everything since the late 90’s on, is corporate bullshit. Manufactured stars. Not an ugly person anywhere to be seen. Its a fucking shame that I have to search long and hard on Bandcamp and youtube, reading Indie blogs and whatnot, to find the real musical artists of today, who are making barely any money.

Holy mother of music ... he plays the intro like in studio .... never saw a live concert which was so close to the album

The only reason he did not have issue with Chamberlin was because Billy is not a very good drummer by his own admission so he was always fond of Jimmy as a musician.
This performance at the metro and Pearl Jam’s unplugged performance are two of best live alt rock performances ever in my opinion
If Billy had died after this he would be as big as Kurt Cobain.
@@jimlunn why the fuck would someone even say this?
@@monishdx cause it’s realistic. Same would be true for Eddie Vedder after ten.
This is one of my all time favorite songs. It's helped me get through some serious shit. Thank you Billy
this song is boss
It's helping me get though it right now...timeless *
Same here.
Just listened to this song taking a Yuge dump in a dope AirBNB in Naples Fl.
How you doing now buddy?
jimmy chamberlin .......................the master
Indeed.
Man, the ghost notes and drags...awesome!
Da best drummer eva

Yep, not like the shit music today

They opened the 2019 European tour in Oslo, Norway with this. Could not have asked for a better opener.
Billy can shred when he wants
I've recently lost someone very close to me, and I can feel my pain within this song and it's honestly helping me so much. Thank you Billy
Rip Billy's hair
right, and to someone who is so deep what difference does it make? he touches your soul with his music but he doesn't have the same hair now, wtf?
we will always remember you,billy s hair,rest in piece 😭
This song is epic , its a close call between this and rhinoceros as my fav for me i just cant choose
Wayne Evans always been partial to mayonaise myself, but this is pretty badass
Soma and Mayonaise have always been my 2 favourite songs from Siamese Dream and probably between all SP songs. With the addition of Thru The Eyes Of Ruby from Mellon Collie.
Wayne Evans same omg!
PoetessOfTragedies TTEOR is one of my favorites too

I would give or do anything to go back to 1993 (and never come back to 2018)

@@ericcartmansstrengthandpow5960 yup
2018 wasnt really all that bad 😂
Shit got real fuckrd up
All I have left to do
Is run away from you...
Close your eyes and sleep
Don't wait up for me...
Hush now don't you speak
to me...
The opiate of pain
Is your broken heart..
I'm all by myself
As I've always felt...
I'll betray myself
To anyone...
The lyrics to this song are friggin' amazing!!! It's a distorted lullaby
Shiloh Branch opiate of pain.
@@airindiana Oopsie... I definitely did not read that after I posted it. Damn autocorrect! Lol
Thank you kindly for bringing it to my attention. 🙂
Just learned how to play this song on guitar and I can't stop playing it. I want the intro to go on forever to sleep to.
Still my favourite Pumpkins song. I love the big stuff like Today, Quiet, Zero, Bullet, Disarm etc, but this is the one I always finish with, I always find myself coming back to this one.
Play this at my funeral. Nothing in this world so perfectly matches how life feels like this song.
indeed, totalmente
I wish I was there
Don't we all
5:21 - 6:10 is such a chilling, incredible part, 5:34 is the BEST drop ever, especially with the echoing bass tabs
Oh my god this song is everything! Ive been listening to them since I was 9. How do I not remember this song? Its like a dream! I love love the melody of it. Wow this is a gem 😀
My favorite solo of all times
So glad I grew up in the 90s
Lucky bastard with all those concerts
Can't believe it's not thought of as one if their best song.
It’s definitely up there for me

He didn't have to record it like that, he just wanted perfection and thought his band wasn't good enough
actually, they were overbudged and overtime yet still strived for perfection, thats admirable.
What a fucking pretentious comment
@@jimlunn just for the "shallow" part. imo
@@asolarasolarasolar Well yes, to call someone "too shallow" just because they don't like a song for a reason or another is pretentious
Such an amazing performance!!!
All I can say is that this is one of the best bands ever (I've been around a while) -- they kick ass! A beautiful, intense song!
it's the best indeed
What a great performance. Seriously the entire concert fucking jammed
Just so f... amazing, this song only gets better as I age. Poesi in motion
This makes me nostalgic to a time I didn't even live through
Same here... I was born in 92
Still
One of the best guitar solos ever!
for sure an underrated one!!!
I mean, how can you dont adore SP. the best !
One of the best solos I've heard (original recording). Lots of emotions in there.
A little fun fact about the song: Mike Mills of R.E.M. played the piano figure in the original recording of the track.
this is for sure an underrated version and solo!
Jimmy absolutely rules on the snare drum like everybody else was fantastic.. It will never be the same again. love u 4 guys 4 ever 😢
I really love this song and I really miss The Smashing Pumpkins!
i really miss em too!! amazing live performance!
I'm in awe. Onyaa Billy, your music helped me growing up
This song hits me so hard. Because I have been there.
Probably my all time favourite Smashing Pumpkins song. In love with it!
Timeless classic this song takes me back...nostalgia
one of the best song of SP
his voice can go from amazing to downright ridiculous in mere seconds.. the most unstable singer i've ever heard, but definetly good songwriter
+Real Strat Incredible songwriter.
Cuz he's on that real shit, not faking it
Cuz he's on that real shit, not faking it
I'm a big fan. But when I saw them live in Sydney I remember being disappointed with his vocals. "Definitely good songwriter"...and guitarist!
and one of the most amazing talented, multi-faceted musicians you'll ever hear. when u get to rock god status get back to us
Peak of his powers. What a time it was to be alive.
I had a dubbed cassette tape of this album back in the early 90s. And I used to listen to it all the time when I was passing out. But it would always cut off bc the tape would end half way through the guitar solo of the song Soma. I never got to hear how the song ended until maybe last year. And the rest of the album.

It would of been amazing to be at this show I would of been10 and would of remembered every minute I also had the cd. I went2 a show in 2020 in Atlanta and I don't remember one bit,strikingly a perfect night.
5:21. Absolutely biblical.
🌹❤️
Nothing left to say
And all I've left to do
Is run away from you
She led me on, down
With secrets I can't keep
Close your eyes and sleep
Don't wait up for me
Hush now, don't you speak
To me
Wrapped my hurt in you
And took my shelter in that pain
The opiate of blame
Is your broken heart, heart, your heart
So now I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
And I'll betray my tears
To anyone caught in our ruse of fools
One last kiss for me, yeah
One last kiss goodnight
Didn't want to lose you once again
Didn't want to be your friend
Fulfilled a promise made of tin
Crawled back to you
I'm all by myself (close your eyes and sleep)
As I've always felt (don't wait up for me)
I'll betray myself (hush now, don't you speak)
To anyone lost, anyone but you
So let the sadness come again
On that you can depend on me, yeah
Until the bitter, bitter end of the world, yeah
When God sleeps in bliss
Thank you
@@O.D.E.GuitarSoundtracks Your welcome.
Siamese dream is a gem. Easily top 10 of 90s alt rock
Thank you

Beyond brilliant.
I was reading a Brave new world at the time when they fed them there Soma thanks Billy

I am instantly 15 again. Oh my god.
The influence of Pink Floyd in this song is amazing!!!!! Soma could be a song of Dark Side of Moon
Every time I've played and sang this to a girl I've gotten laid. Literally one of the greatest songs ever.
Take that, every single other band ever.
the solo! fucking is good
Can't thank Billy enough.
The champagne.
My parents named me after this song
thats pretty dope
