It's a shame that Billy apparently does not play any Zeitgeist material anymore. Of the post 2000 SP material I honestly think Zeitgeist deserves a LOT more respect and listens than it initially had. It has songs that could have been hits with any form of the band, and is personally better than pretty much anything Billy released that was not in actual album form.
Agreed, saw them in 2018 and then in 2022, both fucking epic shows. My inner self kept hoping I would hear Zeitgeist songs but I knew this wouldnt happen... Until 2024, they started playing Doomsday Clock!!!! It sounds HUGE with their three guitars lineup (now with Kiki Wong LOVE HER). I feel Billy really cares about the record but he is somewhat traumatized by the initial reaction Zeitgeist got upon release.
They say that life ain't easy They'll say your life's a crime Destroy up all good reason How I'm alive They'll say that nothing matters Not even your will to survive Of course I love you baby 'Cause I'm alive Yes, I'm alive Whenever I call you out Whenever I draw you round Whenever is here and now That's the way my love is That's the way I care You should call on me baby Cause I'm always there for you Yeah, I'm always there for you They'll say you'll lose your nerve soon To claim identity Disgrace our sacred promise With no belief Oh, how I believe in you That's the way my love is, for you That's the way my love is, for you! And I feel a coming age now And I feel a dawn in me A certain sun keeps rising On my belief in you That's the way my love is That's the way I care You should call on me baby 'Cause I'm always there for you That's the way my love is That's the way I care You should call on me baby 'Cause I'm always there for you Yeah, I'm always there for you
Es una pena que no toquen los integrantes originales de los smashing´s pero no cabe duda que Billy es el corazon de la banda.... simplemente genial !!!
This song brings back feelings from high school. Weird! I used to listen to the Smashing Pumpkins A LOT back then. The mid 90s. This is exactly what the Smashing Pumpkins should sound like! It's just not the same without D'arcy, Jimmy, and James. I think the only reason Billy still calls the band by the same name is to keep devoted fans interested and on the look out for a new album. But it's not the Pumpkins I used to adore.
No. He still calls it The Smashing Pumpkins because Billy IS The Smashing Pumpkins. The first two albums (Gish and Siamese Dream) were almost completely done by him (besides drums). In case you haven't found out because they haven't put any new music out yet this year but Jimmy is back and Jeff Schroeder is 9× the guitarist James was.
i love the videos from this session! the people who were there are so lucky! the geekfangirl in me can't help but love jeff :D his pickin' is so careful and makes such dreamy sounds and nicole at 2:38 ! i can't help loving basslines
That's The Way (My Love Is) They say that life ain't easy They'll say your life's a crime Destroy up all good reason How I'm alive They'll say that nothing matters Not even your will to survive Of course I love you baby 'Cause I'm alive Yes, I'm alive Whenever I call you out Whenever I draw you round Whenever is here and now That's the way my love is That's the way I care You should call on me baby I'm always there for you Yeah, I'm always there for you They'll say you'll lose your nerve soon To claim identity Disgrace our sacred promise With no belief Oh, how I believe in you That's the way my love is for you That's the way my love is for you I feel a coming age now I feel a dawn in me A certain sun keeps rising On my belief in you That's the way my love is That's the way I care You should call on me baby 'Cause I'm always there for you That's the way my love is That's the way I care You should call on me baby 'Cause I'm always there for you Yeah, I'm always there for you
Jimmy made the Pumpkins in a way John did for Zep I'm thinking. A genius drummer is like a delivery system for whatever chemistry is brilliant in a band. ie. almost essential. Rhythm is primal, so true, but uncontrollable. Representing this in reality, but with control, is really the heart. Jimmy is essential. Billy., get him back if possible, & kickstart,.fast for three weeks in the wilderness and get fever crazy and write some amazing songs, and you will take on the world, so to speak, again.
@ObscuredJellybelly we will hear machina when the remasters for it come out in 2013, thoguh zeitgeist i think is gone for good, unless it ever gets remastered which i doubt it will.
I really like the new band. No, it's not the original Pumpkins (which I loved dearly) and although I'd had hopes when Billy first announced the reformation of the band, it's clear that the others are not coming back. I got over it. Zeitgeist was very good and Teargarden by Kaleidyscope has some amazing tracks on it. Nicole Fiorentino is a talented bassist with a sweet singing voice. Mike Byrne is steady and Jeff Schroeder is graceful. Looking forward to Oceania.
Khaled Bishara it's c Sharp standard. look. at Corgan's basic minor chord progression it's simple .what makes him genuine is the change up he's doing it in untimely manner off the metronome
This is good for what it is but im just not feeling this version at all lol i prefer the original, with electric guitars and not unplugged but the most important part is missing, Jimmy's drums...
Does anybody else have trouble finding the name of one of their songs? It’d be just too fucking normal to line them all out so somebody could just sort down the list and find it right? Try it sometime! They won’t fucking do it! I’ve heard one of their songs numerous times on the radio and of course the DJs NEVER tell you what you just heard! Sure, I got a few lyrics but Smashing Pumpkins is notorious for NOT including the name of the song in the lyrics! It’s a great sound, but this ends my one and only hours long attempt to find it!
Smashing Pumpkins: world's #1 supplier of badass bassist chicks.
Kevin F more like curator
right on.

This sounds really wonderful, so clean and acoustically warm, good singing and all.
I love this song!!!! This was the last real pumpkins album
Oceania > Zeigeist
I love this song
They say that life ain't easy
They'll say your life's a crime
Destroy up all good reason
How I'm alive
They'll say that nothing matters
Not even your will to survive
Of course I love you baby
'Cause I'm alive
Yes, I'm alive
Whenever I call you out
Whenever I draw you round
Whenever is here and now
That's the way my love is
That's the way I care
You should call on me baby
Cause I'm always there for you
Yeah, I'm always there for you
They'll say you'll lose your nerve soon
To claim identity
Disgrace our sacred promise
With no belief
Oh, how I believe in you
That's the way my love is, for you
That's the way my love is, for you!
And I feel a coming age now
And I feel a dawn in me
A certain sun keeps rising
On my belief in you
That's the way my love is
That's the way I care
You should call on me baby
'Cause I'm always there for you
That's the way my love is
That's the way I care
You should call on me baby
'Cause I'm always there for you
Yeah, I'm always there for you
BEAUTIFUL VOICE
its a shame we probably will never hear this song live again now that billy is pretending zeitgeist didnt happen :(
One of my favourite Pumpkins songs and definitely my favourite of the new ones. Thanks for sharing.
(My love is) for this version!!!
Amazing rendition!
Thanks for putting this up - I really like this version.
du très bon, encore encore encore merci Billy........
Es una pena que no toquen los integrantes originales de los smashing´s pero no cabe duda que Billy es el corazon de la banda.... simplemente genial !!!
Que versão maravilhosa!!! Deixou ainda mais linda que a original.
Wow this blows the studio version away.
Goosebumps

I Ava Adore them also...

Actually, BC wrote literally over 90 percent of SP's catalog. You can check the liner notes of each album.
mid 90s is exactly how the SP should sound like in the mid 90s.
2017 is how they should sound like in 2017.
Linda dms! Que música linda...
i love the videos from this session! the people who were there are so lucky!
the geekfangirl in me can't help but love jeff :D
his pickin' is so careful and makes such dreamy sounds
and nicole at 2:38 ! i can't help loving basslines
Beautiful ❤️
I love it
especially this one...
...nunca dejes de hacer música Billy !!!

Did not expect the Oceania era band when I clicked
Te amo Marina💙
Mr. Billy Corgan - legendary songwriter and seeker of hot chick bass players and oriental/Japanese guitarists extraordinaire
Jimmy made the Pumpkins in a way John did for Zep I'm thinking. A genius drummer is like a delivery system for whatever chemistry is brilliant in a band. ie. almost essential. Rhythm is primal, so true, but uncontrollable. Representing this in reality, but with control, is really the heart. Jimmy is essential. Billy., get him back if possible, & kickstart,.fast for three weeks in the wilderness and get fever crazy and write some amazing songs, and you will take on the world, so to speak, again.
jimmy back please !!!
I love the shoegaze version, but the acoustic one maybe could have been a radio hit
hahaha, I was NOT expecting Billy to do the solo Acoustic.
that 2nd guitAR...is that James Iha without decent haircut and W/Out volume AT ALL?!
Nicole Fiorentino 😍
Omg bring back Nicole, Billy!
@ObscuredJellybelly we will hear machina when the remasters for it come out in 2013, thoguh zeitgeist i think is gone for good, unless it ever gets remastered which i doubt it will.
It will
I hope he busts this out on his in plainsong tour coming up.
i wonder how many of those shirts billy has. they're always similar to that
Never the same one twice. 😎
I really like the new band. No, it's not the original Pumpkins (which I loved dearly) and although I'd had hopes when Billy first announced the reformation of the band, it's clear that the others are not coming back.

Nicole Fiorentino is a talented bassist with a sweet singing voice. Mike Byrne is steady and Jeff Schroeder is graceful.
Looking forward to Oceania.
@ghaibboy Nope I'm not a sound engineer haha, I just set up my band's gear and learned some useful stuff in the way
@awernert21 I'll sort them in the next few days
@jsh020 He's ignoring MACHINA as well. Probably reminds him of the instable and unhappy status of the Pumpkins at the time.
Does anyone had a good tab of this? it's been forever
Es lindo volver a saber de ti chica de mis sueños. :)
Does anyone know the chords/tuning for this song on guitar?
Khaled Bishara it's c Sharp standard. look. at Corgan's basic minor chord progression it's simple .what makes him genuine is the change up he's doing it in untimely manner off the metronome
@MrTurebjorkman I hear some delay in this one, also a lil bit of EQ that's all I think...
damn that new bassist is cute. :)
I've got that top.
@ghaibboy You get the point.
Can someone give me the date of this show?
@dimarziotonezone23 hehe.. i think we are both sound engineer
greeting from gearslutz mate ;)
This is good for what it is but im just not feeling this version at all lol i prefer the original, with electric guitars and not unplugged but the most important part is missing, Jimmy's drums...
Damn. Such a good version but those drums are a deal breaker.
is that a Fender jagstang?
@dimarziotonezone23 not lil EQ.. Much i think
@jmdocteur this, plus james iha as well!
what album is this song on?
Miles better than the album version. Has more of a Wound feel.
to me this version of this song really deminstrates the talent all of these muscians have such a great song and everyone is in there zone
Does anybody else have trouble finding the name of one of their songs? It’d be just too fucking normal to line them all out so somebody could just sort down the list and find it right?
Try it sometime! They won’t fucking do it! I’ve heard one of their songs numerous times on the radio and of course the DJs NEVER tell you what you just heard! Sure, I got a few lyrics but Smashing Pumpkins is notorious for NOT including the name of the song in the lyrics!
It’s a great sound, but this ends my one and only hours long attempt to find it!
@dimarziotonezone23 you must have golden ears then.. ;
nice shoes billy lol
Its really a good song but James was better as a second guitarist he would have added more feeling to that song
yeah pooley & nichole so hot!
@ghaibboy haha nice one, nope mate, they're just flesh and gristle
Why is a female bass player so mandatory for Billy?
Pulseczar1 I think he’s trying to recapture the dynamic they had with D’arcy
This song would have been perfect, if the electric guitar had taken the solo. Greedy Billy tsk tsk
That guitarist can play but this gig they made him into a useless add on. What a shame, give him a chance to do his thing you egotistic singer
Fucking horrible choice of a single.
