Alright, I admit up front: this isn't 'electronica'. And it doesn't even seem that 'experimental' now. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
But if you're one of the Ninetie's best frontmen, who's always dreamed of recording a Loveless, and you've the cash & hookup, well, why not ? |

everything was experimental at some point. the bravest man in the world was the first caveman who got on a horse. |

Two brilliant soundsmiths (Butch Vig & Alan Moulder) sort out the 70's - rooted grandioisity and contemporary rock that was (and will always be) the Pumpkins. |

Hmm... great point ! Billy & Jame's occaisionally insane guitar work meets with Chamberlin's industrial - strength (read: arena - grade) drumming meets D'Arcy's reliable, strong bass. The rest truly is history. |

Siamese Dream are the soundtrack of my teen-years. It will never fade |

Oh yeah, forgot my score: silverfuck is awesome, maybe a WEE bit over long, but today, disarm and (the immortal) cherub rock easily make up for that. 9.8 / 10 |

||||||||
|

soundtrack to my teen age years must be... shit the more i think about it, the more songs/cds/bands i think about. a certain cd always gives me a specific memory. NIN - Ross' house Nirvana - my ex-girlfriend RHCP - Grade school etc.... |

I was 15 in 1992, so me and my friends had parties where we listened to Red Hot, Pumpkins, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots and Alice in Chains. Aaah. Those were the days. I'm an old man... |

You're not old enough to look like Oakenfold. I can tell you that. When I have a party - you're always invited. |

I LOVE Billy's guitar tone on that album. And his song writing. He wasn't a pretentious prick in over his head yet, it was brilliant. I don't think James Iha or D'Arcy played on that album, did Chamberlain? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

All of them played on Siamese Dream |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So it's an urban legend then? I thought he played everything but the drums. Not that it matters, he and Jimmy are the only ones with any real talent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well I haven't heard the story in that article, so it might be right. He is def the brain, yes. |
||||||||
|
|

ditto on the soundtrack of my teenage years. oh man that album rocks me still. |
||||||||
|
|

I always heard BC did all the work on the album, except the drums which Jimmy covered. It's hard to believe, but I always though he prolly had James and D'arcy lay the tracks, and then he just went back and redid them when no one was looking, but that's just hearsay :) |
