>>121558134iha thread? much respect to the man. really i see billy and james as one guitar player. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8E7sYaNxeE
>>121561357i love SP but pre-Billy selling his soul to the devil they are pretty bad
>>121559134somewhere in billy's blog there's some funny stories about depp hanging at billy's hollywood hills pool while billy did shrooms and wrote adore
>>121561370this 88 tape? i think it's a beautiful chill sound and a pretty interesting window into the path they were on
>>121561380James has his moments: solo in zerobut my personal favorite, and I had my own magic mushroom moment with this track, SIYL... that fuckin solo mangodlyhttps://youtu.be/2nm4xv3firw?t=168I listened to that like 50 times in a rowI understand that Bill Corgan is a genius and a technical god at guitar, but James Iha is a TASTY motherfuckerthat couldn't be done betterit's a shame that James got back with SP only recently, because at this point in time BC is a fucking nutjob and is long gone
I like zero by SP but thats basically it.This is my favorite cultural encounter of James Ihahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Sh41J9oCn0
>>121561503I don't think Billy is that great anymore.I saw him do Disarm on webcam during the pandemic. Seemed like he was messing up a lot.https://youtu.be/GxmGyJrvDi4?si=Sm0uA8qqHjnEurBQ
>>121561557>Anonymous 04/25/24(Thu)05:24:13 No.121561Bicorg never translates on tv. I saw them 7 tiimes live and it works there. The problem is they mix the vox too loudWhen you're there, the vocals barely cut through the guitars.The TV people always put them up front like it's Mariah Careybut the quintessential SP sound is thin vox cutting through loud guitars like a knifeCorgan obviously blew out his voice though, his intimiate acoustic guitar shit from the 90's is some of the best shit ever but he is no longer a spring chickenI know everyone talks shit about his voice, but he's my favorite vocalist of all time. When my nigger bill corgan was young and beautiful, with a razor sharp tenor voice, he was unstoppablehttps://youtu.be/pbrvHcFOulc
>>121561666I mean but he looks visibly struggling to keep up with the rhythm by the last half of the song. I saw him do it many times in the 90s he used to breeze through it.
>>121561689no shit he's old as fuck, leave billy alone
Uhh guys, this is a James Iha threadhttps://youtu.be/JRnnhMetvfgimagine writing this but egomaniac bandleader refuses to put it on the album
>>121561711Shouldn't be that old, guitarists way older than him still got it better than that
>>121561757Probably doesn't just practice like he used to with all the wrestling and other shit he's always got going on.
Let's not forget the song MayonaisePretty much universally recognized as the best Smashing Pumpkins song.James wrote the guitar part. In some weird fuckin tuning.Bi Corg wrote the words and melody, but stillthat fucking guitar partis pretty much the best thing SP ever madeand everyone agrees it's the shit.give James credithttps://youtu.be/Vbu_K41efvY
