    I really fucking wish they had a higher quality version of the video, all versions I've seen are not just grainy but very pixelated as well. Almost hard to make visual aspects out, a shame because the costume and makeup work is some of the best I've ever seen for a music video

    nah you had to get into it some way, the first song I'd heard from sp was 1979 and I was expecting more of the same going into Mellon Collie, which probably accentuated my love for em when I was pleasantly surprised they were doing some heavy shit 😂

    ​@calxshaw06 it was the opposite for me, first listened to zero, went into mellon colli3 expecting heavy shit, surprised but I love softer songs just as much so I was thrilled to hear it.I actually thought i wasn't going to like it,I didn't like tonight tonight for a while and I thought the whole album was going to be like that after 2 songs

    I thought it was one take because you can see a couple of parts where they messed up, like D'arcy running across in the camera's view and her almost walking into one of the dancers.

    It's a cool video, very pretty and haunting in parts, but Corgan is a creative genius and not just in music but just - in anything he is interested in being a genius about. So I kind of think that if his version had come to fruition it would maybe have been a masterpiece up there w Tonight, Tonight or that kind of thing. But even as is, the Pumpkins have a few of the best music videos ever made. They tried to make real art w them.

    So the final video was basically born out of a tribute to Fellini's Satyricon but having Nosferatu-Billy as the main character and throwing in that late 90s industrial-cybergothic aesthetic, and adding to the whole product the grungy Kevin Kerslake (a Smashing Pumpkins music video alum) technique of artistically damaging the film itself. Fascinating.

    Extras are extras and they come early. That's their job and tha's how it has been and always been. There is a reason for that, everyone has a role to play. Just as the director doesnt f around with your music, you shouldnt f around with his work as well and let him do what he does best!

    @miralita7869 have you read any interviews with Billy over the past 30 years? He has mentioned these two things in interviews before. If D'Arcy was such a good bass player, why did Billy play her bass parts on the records? Also, there were no other rock bands lining up to hire her in the years after she left the band, even before the drugs took over her life.

    I was thinking this too. It's possible that the VEVO channel sourced the NTSC transfers of the video masters, compared to this footage, which might be from a PAL source, which would explain the better quality, even though both are still standard def.
