Thinking of all the extra content from these releases, the U.S.A. demo is probably my favorite.

Siamese Dream is such an awesome demo track from the SD bonus disc as well

Agreed, love the break down at the end of that track.

In more Adore news, a bonus content track was just released and my god does it sound good. Originally released on Machina II, Billy polished up an earlier, non-distorted, version of Let Me Give the World to You.

This sounds night and day compared to the original, IMO.

Best album.

[coldengrey12]

That is really nice.

I'm gonna listen to Mellon Collie now.

[Coker]

Can't wait for the new boxset. I <3 Adore. Just not as much as kittens does.

I likely will when it's released. But it's not, and I wanted to put this on my iPod. Sorry to upset you, Billy.

[wampa3]

Ahhhh, that's wonderful. I'm gonna like this Adore release way more than I ever thought I would.

No problem. Just trying to help, Owen.

[Coker]

Monuments to an Elegy is due out December 9th. Hope we get a single release sometime soon.


Let me rephrase that since it's Billy....hope we get a song by December 9th. Hope the album is released by August 2015.

Watch it. Very big fan of the live sound of Adore and Machina-era SP. Some fucking phenomenal performances between 98 and 2000. Re-arrangement of songs and all.

[AndySlash]

lots of people don't like mike garson's keyboard wankfests in that era but man, i think those '98 versions of tear are incredible.

[dh4645]

thats a lot of SP. I'd rather just listen to the original. live stuff could be cool though.

William Corgan, not a huge fan of Pearl Jam or Foo Fighters. Is a fan of Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana:

William Corgan is a well known and well documented dick.

but he's still cool in my book.

It sounds a lot worse when you just read his comments. When I listened to the interview it didn't sound as asshole-ish.

[junior94]

I'm not sure there's any one guy come out of the whole "grunge/alternative" era who's for so long been any more pretentious and self-involved twat as Billy Corgan.

[Evans]

This new album is depressing. Monuments to an Elegy indeed...more like Relics of a Once Great Band.

I like the first 2 songs, the rest is rarely worth preserving and full of Billy embarrassingly over-using the word "lover" (pronounced "laavaaah").

I miss the old band. I also miss Zwan.

Dave Grohl.

virtually every time I've seen Corgan over the last decade+ now, he's talking one way or another about how deep and meaningful and misunderstood whatever he's doing is, while quickly judging many other acts.
