They knew cause Jimmy was already not showing up for sessions because of his dope habit, and Iha and Darcy had broken up, so you have a bit of a Fleetwood Mac "Rumors" vibe there. Also Darcy had begun to enjoy her coke. So I think they laughed because they could feel the vibe.

I laughed to myself when Butch said that Siamese Dream is happy...

As the Soma solo weeps like a dying angel who just became a demon before death, making it lost to the abyss.. And laments it's existance, wishing it had never been born, as the only thing left for its soul is the perpetual, scorching fires of HELL. That's what it sounds like to me anyways haha...

Siamese Dream, best album. Mellon Collie immediately after. What could have been if Jimmy had been able to contribute to Adore? I'll always wonder. I'm happy that Billy is still putting out new music. Truly Happy for him. Keep it up, Billy!

What is your opinion on Adore? I feel like it was ahead of its time personally.

Guitar geeks, that sunburst he's playing there is almost certainly the one that was sprayed silver and became the "Bat Strat" for the SD and MCIS tours. Awesome.

Yeah, it’s the Bat Strat alright. He used it to do most of his rhythm parts, whereas the black and red Strat was used for most of the clean parts and solos

i remember when smashing pumpking sold their gear on ebay. I looked for they Digitech Valve Fx preamp with all the original presets that they used in siamese dream , it was sold for about 700 usd. Other gear that i rememeber were some drum's pieces

Same part where he got two subpar players rich and famous while he did most of the work. Jimmy was disappearing for days strung out on dope so that was their way of getting back at him. But yeah, he is the only other worthy member. Darcy and Iha are window dressing and they got a free ride. Poor babies.

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 💔

Butch talk about the tone of the album, not about the lyrics.

best album in rock history.

Butch Vig probably has the most recognizable voice I've ever heard. Like the epitome of calm and control.

Man 1 "What do you think keeps a band together?" Man 2 "well it ain't Billy Corgan!" Man 1 "What do you think makes great music?" Man 2 "Billy Corgan"

Oh my god James' laugh. Precious baby.

I wish every tv reporter on television would sign of with " I gotta go now , bye. "

It’s a bit scary that we already celebrated the 30th birthday of this album.

Thank you! the best album, the best billy's look, the best band members!

I love this. Thank you for uploading it. :-)

This is such a great video! A visual time-capsule of the pumpkins creating one of their legendary albums (and the most important thing, just to see Billy with a full head of hair!)

Take track 1 and record a four count click right after a huge start to a part, flip tape over and you have that click on track 24. Press record on track 23 and after the the four count from track 24, smash a cymbal. Flip tape over and now you have reverse cymbal hit leading into the part on track two.

Butch Vig actually told billy that james and darcy werent good enough and took too long to record their bits. Bit more backstory but thats the main case. billy may be a perfectionist but i doubt that much. if you have a dead line and a budget you gotta keep it.

One of the best recording console ever made (albums too). I record on the same one, once you get used to it no other console will do.

So far it's been 26 years. Why did you have it sealed for at least 15 years? How did you listen to it? Did you buy two copies? One to listen to and the other to keep sealed? A fan would have played it immediately, I suspect. I'm sure you have a reasonable explanation behind bragging about a record you bought with no intention of listening to it. I'm just curious as to what that explanation is.
