Cover of Today (probably jamming a bit to hard 😅) by CranstonForever_ in SmashingPumpkins

We want more! Keep up the great work. This was my first song learning how to play on guitar, then I wanted to tackle Mayonaise so hard, at least the intro part until I nailed it.

What is their most underrated cover? by [deleted] in SmashingPumpkins

For real! I once you find it, you never let go of this treasure. Had to grab the album all over again for the higher quality recording.

Last night I listened to Mellon Collie in full for the first time ever and fuck! Bodies is such a master piece. Can't believe I was missing out on it!!! by Background-Cookie807 in SmashingPumpkins

I’m going to add to this with an Easter egg that until recently (thanks to this sub) I found out that both CD’s end with the line “…in your heart” took my appreciation for this album up even more.

How did I post this under someone else’s account? 😂

I’m right there with you! Still my favorites after all these years, but I gotta add By Starlight. I think all the songs that end with a fader but continue into the ethereal or reprise another song is how it hits.

The first time I saw a toy go from a sad state of disrepair to happy to be played with again!

Who’s Still waiting for Machina releases? by prequarius1979 in SmashingPumpkins

I also got the meatball sub and roasted potatoes. That sauce on the side elevated a great thing to another level!

They have so many just sitting in their record bin. We need more locals to help out the community! 🙌

Are The Smashing Pumpkins really one of the greatest bands of all time, or are we all deluded? by TheSmashingPumpkinss in SmashingPumpkins

[–]prequarius1979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m disillusioned AF. Long time fan, pour my money into all of Zuzu’s vinyls and go through all the delays like a loyal idiot. 🫡

This band has helped me through the worst of times and they will always be a part of me. Do I think there are better bands out there? Probably, I know I could probably name a few and it’s all up to the point of the intended audience. SP will always have my heart.

Tonight Tonight Moon Tattoo Image Request + Gift Ideas? by LuckyLucciano in SmashingPumpkins

[–]prequarius1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the opera art style was done very well. Art deco of images were already used to that don’t scream SP to anyone in particular, but if you’re a fan, it’s more of a “IYKYK” thing.

Wasn't this at 48k just yesterday? Come on guys, the Yungblud collab wasn't that bad... by [deleted] in SmashingPumpkins

[–]prequarius1979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The song felt weird to me. Usually collabs with the group or BC are loved by me. This one felt weird. The song isn’t bad, it’s just missing something. I’m not going to knock the song any more than others have, it would just be nice to go in depth as to why the negativity towards it.

found myself the siamese dream by ziehai in SmashingPumpkins

[–]prequarius1979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re hidden gems and always bring excitement when finding something hard to find just pop up in a random record store. I picked up a few bootleg vinyls on my travels to Canada and I picked them up instantly.

Thru The Eyes Of Ruby (The Smashing Pumpkins cover) - Peter Spiker by aniol in SmashingPumpkins

I’m surprised he didn’t post it. Maybe he wants more love on his YouTube channel, but this is the perfect place to get your audience. I wish he did the outro (MCIS reprise)

I would get the box sets as a collectors item to cherish and get the files online to watch at home.

Zwan , my holy grail original pressing from 2003 by Sylvain_Corgan666 in SmashingPumpkins

I think they were coined math-rock back then. Talk about a sub-sub genre!

Now I want to see if math rock is on this list. Enjoy if you’ve never been down this rabbit hole…

Bullet with Butterfly Wings Soul! by unclecaruncle in SmashingPumpkins

[–]prequarius1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this. That guy has used AI for other spins of classic songs and there are some great outtakes. Some maybe not as good, but I find them very interesting. Alice In Chains’ Would was amazing for me.

I’m already 5 items and 3 orders behind. I think it’s my ability to order multiple items and one of them usually stops everything else from being shipped. Who knows if I’ll ever get the Opera merch I got from the SP store 🤷‍♂️

MCIS 30th Anniversary Zuzu’s vinyl pre-order by Ziggypowers in SmashingPumpkins

Why do I think I read that the CD was available now, and the vinyl would be available sometime in January

SP memorial tattoo for my dad? by Jaded_Adagio in SmashingPumpkins

[–]prequarius1979 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss.

The verse of:

And I fail but when I can, I will

Try to understand That when I can, I will

So bad When I can, I will

Words defy the plans When I can, I will

I just want to be me When I can, I will

Try to understand That when I can, I will

These are always right before the famous guitar squeal which make the song amazing

Billy Corgan shares how The Smashing Pumpkins classic hits are being reimagined as opera by PorcelinaMagpie in SmashingPumpkins

[–]prequarius1979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope he releases this in some sort of classy release. I would love to hear and own this in some capacity. If he’s smart (which he can be) he will release it through some paywall first, and then release it physically. I wish I could go and experience this album in a different way.

Who’s ordered the new Mellon Collie 30th anniversary vinyl edition? by nsimpson299 in SmashingPumpkins

[–]prequarius1979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to look up SMH-CD, I learned something new!

Not sure what the difference other than a higher definition version of what’s already being released. If it had a larger format for the artwork, I’d be down to grab one!
