Smashing Pumpkins "G.L.O.W." On Jimmy Kimmel
Kimmel introduces the Pumpkins by noting "G.L.O.W." is "the only song ever recorded exclusively for Guitar Hero World Tour." At this point in their career, I'd imagine this is a fact they'd want to bury under the more impressive aspects of their 20-year bio, but so it goes with contractual obligations. As for the song itself, we heard the "G.L.O.W." radio rip. Live, the backup vocals are more Breeders-esque than I would've imagined. The heroic guitars = about the same. Billy & Co. also did Zeitgeist's wrestling anthem "Tarantula" (for which he wore a matching shirt).
"G.L.O.W."
"Tarantula"
It seems at least one YouTube commenter missed the "Tarantula" part of the performance: "OMG i didnt c this part i was watching halloween 4." Well,
Vampiregrunge95, don't let Michael Myers get in the way of the Pumpkins' anniversary tour.

I'm afraid I can't feel it either. Huge fan of the Pumpkins golden years 91'-95', and G.L.O.W. isn't even worthy of being a b-side from that era.

dammit billy...
I love the smashing pumpkins more than any other band...though I do only listen to gish, siamese dream and mellon collie, admittedly. I just can't believe that the man who wrote the amazing songs and killer guitars on all those records is making this crap....it actually really really sucks. I mean this guy wrote Hummer, Soma, Disarm, 1979, Geek USA and....i don't know. It just sucks to see. I heard them live a week ago and I gotta say I was a fan of his acoustic songs live, song for a son was DOMINANT and sunkissed was really good live too. I'll just wait to see on the album if he ruins it with like a million backup billys and generic production...but to the point, this song is really, really, really bad.
