I was down with the Pumpkins for a few months in, what, 1993? '94? Whenever
Siamese Dream was the current record. Of course, back then, i also tuned into the MTV Video Music Awards every year to watch awesome performances from the likes of Poison and Pearl Jam. So, that year, whichever one it was when
Dream was the big jam, they played "Disarm" on the MTV Video Music Awards.
Holy butt-fucked Jesus on a barbecue spit did that song sound awful. Maybe it was the sub-par sound mixing, but Billy's voice was cranked WAY over everything else in the mix, and that braying jackass' jackassed bray made me glad i wasn't blind (because then i'd have enhanced hearing and i would have heard it even louder).
I've hated the Pumpkins ever since.
