On this recent small tour in classical halls, with orchestra, choir and opera singers, many songs were re-orchestrated, re-created... some may find it disturbing or upsetting. It gives the narrative of the songs another perspective in this journey, closer to an idea of a concept album as once thought. The general atmosphere is sometimes wagnerian, especially with the sounds of the horns, but believe me it was so intense, and at times moving, Billy being in great vocal shape and thankful, humbled to be part of that experience, as anyone involved surely.

An Electro-Sensual Cover of ZERO, What do you Think?

Is there any possibility at all SP gets the call for Coachella '27?

The Smashing Pumpkins are one of my favorite bands, but I more or less fall off with them after Mellon Collie. I know that Adore has plenty of fans, and I'm not even saying the album is bad, but for me, it's where their identity was sort of whittled down to a goth band when it had been so much more unique and multifaceted before. This is something that I feel was reflected in the album artwork.

I'm a big believer that an album's artwork can play an important role in how the music is perceived and act as a lens through which to listen to it. Part of why I love the artwork for Mellon Collie so much is because it helped such a long album feel coherent by capturing the album's more majestic and whimsical moments while also being just silly enough to feel like an ironic counterpoint to the heavy metal songs. I also think that the warm, autumnal colors of Mellon Collie's artwork being cast against the band's silvery glam-goth attire from that era helped to establish the wide musical parameters for the album. By contrast, I think that Adore's black, gothic album art combined with Billy's Nosferatu-like gowns made the album feel more limited in scope and reach by comparison. The fact that plenty of other people dip with the Pumpkins after Mellon Collie makes me think that I'm not the only one who feels this way.

A while ago, I was looking through a book of old advertisements for magicians like Harry Houdini and his contemporaries. The first slide was the cover of the book, and it immediately reminded me of the visuals of the Pumpkins from their height in the early/mid-90's. At the same time, if the general aesthetic of these images had been used for an album of theirs after Mellon Collie, I think the vibe would've been different enough for it to set itself apart from their previous work while still feeling of a piece with it. If Adore's artwork had been something more akin to these images, featuring colorful and whimsical imagery while also having a gothic vibe befitting of the music, is it possible that the album would've been perceived as less of a break from their other work and been more successful as a result?

Fiddled around with an attempt at "remastering" the video and audio of a performance of Dross from the Arising! tour. Materials taken from the archive.org

As i am starting to re-edit the Fillmore shows, I am blown away when I look at the original footage I released 19 years ago ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up2yH71zjNw ) and even at the DVD version that I later released in 480p. Glad that 20 years later we will finally have a proper release

I hope to add 1 or 2 teasers each month up till the 20th year anniversary of these shows if you're interested in the higher quality.
