    • @wildmercuryfilms
      @wildmercuryfilms Před 2 lety +3

      D’arcy was very important to the songwriting process. Billy says she was a good sounding board from the very beginning. She (obviously) looks at things from a female point-of-view, and would encourage Billy’s feminine side. D’arcy was fired/quit right after Machina was complete, but before the Machina tour kicked off. If you really think about it, Billy hasn’t written any EXCELLENT songs since D’arcy left. I think there are SEVERAL excellent songs on Machina, including Try, Try, Try, and With Every Light and I, of the Mourning. Obviously: Stand Inside Your Love is excellent, too. D’arcy also played on Machina II, and some of those songs are EXCELLENT, too: Slow Dawn is one of my favorite Pumpkins songs. Cash Car Star is good, and so is Real Love. When I think of Machina II, I know that they recorded those songs during (or right after) Machina. Machina II has a MUCH different feel to me than Machina, but you can feel the feminine sensibilities that D’arcy brought to the table in those last 2 albums she played on. Ever since she left, it doesn’t feel like The Smashing Pumpkins. Rather: It feels like Billy Corgan with a backing band. The Smashing Pumpkins were a team, with D’arcy and James and Jimmy being a big part of the picture. Without D’arcy, that team is not complete.

    I love how all the old SP albums had their own unique sound to them. Gish was more on the trippy side, Siamese Dream (which this track was on) had more of a Shoegaze sound. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness sounded more raw and Grungy, and Adore was in a category all its own (I think Adore is an extremely underrated album, it still deserves a place in the top 4).

Through the eyes of ruby had 70 guitar tracks for it. Mellon Collie is a huge, ambitius, theatrical album, the exact opposite of what Grunge stood for. And Siamese Dream had some elements in common with the british alt rock bands like Slowdive, Ride, The Verve etc, but I would'nt go as far as calling it a shoegaze album. You are definately right about Gish tho :P

    My introduction to Smashing Pumpkins. November 22, 1991. four days before my 19th birthday. A bunch of friends bought tickets to go see the Red Hot Chili Peppers at a club in Detroit, MI called Clubland. Had no clue who the opening bands were. Opening act comes on and blows us away. Ends up being some band called Pearl Jam. Next band comes on and I was hooked. The groove. The feeling in the air. Had to find out who they were. Went out and purchased Gish the next day. Quickly discovered they opened with Rocket and then played Tristessa. Of course, the RHCP kicked it as usual. Second best concert ever for me. (Best concert: 1st Lallapalooza at the Pine Knob Music Center Clarkston, MI)

I listened to Siamese Dream on my Walkman all the time while playing outside when I wasn’t with friends. I loved (and still love) the entire album, but this was the song I would always rewind and go back to repeatedly. I would do anything to go back to 1994, put my headphones on, and stare at what seemed an infinite blue sky and unlimited possibilities... I’d do anything to go back to that time...

    • @voteZDLR
      @voteZDLR Před 5 lety

      @Macro Aggressor: The Titty Baby Killer I dunno about all of that, I mean I know that grunge wasn't called grunge when it first came out, but as humans tend to do we try to put labels on things ASAP so we can put them in boxes that help us to define what it is. I know that grunge as a term was coined before Kurt Cobain died, he even has a famous photo where he is wearing a shirt that says "Grunge is dead" so I dunno, if you weren't labeling SP alternative rock back in the mid 90s... what were they calling it then? Certainly not grunge, it's not even close to that. But regardless, the point is Smashing Pumpkins almost embodied this space that Weezer found really comfortable as time went on where it's inherently geeky and where the minority in high schools especially, the weirdos, found a home in this kind of music. Billy Corgan was the king of this space for a long, long time, in the same way Kurt was the king of the grunge world. And hated it, but I digress. So whether they called it alt-rock back then or not, I am not sure, my question is this: what DID they call it? Rock music is way too oversimplified for what the Pumpkins were in their prime, even though it is indubitably still rock music. Too simple though. I think the 90s was all alternative rock, it just depended what exactly your bag of tea was -- darker stuff, grunge. Lighter, alternative rock.

      @Jesse Charles Not strictly true. She didn't record the bass on the album, but likely contributed to writing the parts. Also, it was Butch Vig that insisted Billy play all of her and James' parts due to the heavy use of overdubs on the record. Basically, Billy was technically superior so it saved a lot of studio time (they went over-budget on SD) for him to lay down the tracks. Billy says he was actually reluctant to do this knowing that (understandably) it would alienate half the band and they never went this route again.
