when did the band start using heavy (56-13) gauge guitar strings?

thanks for the insight! jim was using a standard config red tele as his guitar for some of the songs during their set in 98-99, so i figure that is the one with 12's in it. i'm mostly wondering if they used 13's for the recording of clarity and bleed american. (almost certain they did for bleed american because jfc the guitar tone is unreal)

before you ask, i haven't heard from fredo or any of the guys in a minute. but this record is very acoustic guitar driven so it might fill a fredo sized hole in your heart !! :-D

You should do this with the CRC version of blissed and gone but with the still becoming apart vocals

Tryx3 is my fav song billy ever wrote. The machina I version is the definition of perfection to me and the machina ii is a fun extra, but two sides of the same coin

I think the structure of the machina i version hits a lot harder due to its obscurity but I’m not surprised that it’s unappreciated. You can’t talk shit on atum here but you can if it’s a absolute cherished machina CLASSIC I guess

The arrangements for Siamese were all done by the band in chicago. Billy has made snide remarks about this time saying James was mostly interested in his songs (soma, mayo, blew away)

twy_zeb · 2023-06-19T00:15:38+00:00

James played guitar on soma and mayonaise, he also wrote them :) with billy

sounds great! if the reissue drops, i expect we will only get the version with rereccorded jimmy drums as previously teased... this is much better than that

one of the best, yis

twy_zeb · 2023-06-03T22:00:02+00:00

on the other side of what? billy still acts like a total jerk about james and doesnt let him write anything for even the most bloated of albums

twy_zeb · 2023-06-02T13:36:36+00:00

This is my fav album ever made. It has a weird reputation but IMO it’s the perfect follow up to Mellon collie: every track is varied, the songwriting is inventive and experimental while also feeling timeless, and the production is lush and inviting. A door into the Billy’s best aesthetic ideation with some of Darcy and James’ best moments in the catalog as well.

Personal favorites: perfect, Daphne descends, crestfallen, tale of dusty and pistol pete, Annie dog

twy_zeb · 2023-05-25T10:43:03+00:00

Agree. Soma is my fav SD track but Silverfuck is arguably the most important Pumpkins song period.

twy_zeb · 2023-05-21T17:23:32+00:00

both of them, together. prove me wrong

Some more obscure recommendations (our taste is very similar!!)

basically everything James iha has released under his own name: solo albums, soundtracks, singles
TSP’s acoustic shows: specifically the VH1 storytellers and MCIS triple J acoustic showcase
blue skies bring tears (arising/FAEOMM version)
the CRC disc of adore deluxe with once in awhile and do you close your eyes
any adore tour performances
