Greatest Hits Video Collection (1991–2000)

The Smashing Pumpkins – Greatest Hits Video Collection (1991–2000) is a DVD containing nearly all of The Smashing Pumpkins music videos released prior to the band's breakup in late 2000. Extras include an exclusive short film Try, a previously unreleased "I Am One" music video, behind-the-scenes and outtakes footage, two live videos, and commentary by Jimmy Chamberlin, Billy Corgan, James Iha, and the video directors.
This DVD was released in 2001 in conjunction with Rotten Apples, a greatest hits compilation CD which also contains many of the same titles. Both the DVD and CD were certified Gold less than a month after their release.
Both the DVD and the CD omit "The End Is the Beginning Is the End" from their track lists because the single and video were licensed to Warner Bros. for use with the Batman & Robin soundtrack. The video can be found as a bonus feature on the special edition version of the Batman & Robin DVD, released in 2005.
The song which accompanies the Gish menu is a studio recording of "Pale Scales". All other menu songs are from either Rotten Apples or its bonus disc, Judas O.
Each video includes audio commentary with the band and director(s) while select videos include full outtakes. The video for "1979" includes bonus commentary titled Lost Tapes Commentary which is about how the master tapes for the original shooting of the video (most of it assumed to be the same as the final video) was lost and the search for the tapes. 
The live video for "Geek U.S.A." was recorded at the sound level of the PA system used at Oz – the Seattle club they performed at. According to captions on the video, you can experience the club sound by putting the volume of your sound system at its maximum.
According to Corgan on the commentary of "Rhinoceros" there are two versions of the video (the second one being featured on the DVD). The first version could be considered an outtake of the final version which is filmed in the fashion as the final (using Super 8mm film) as a woman is followed as she walks around a town with footage of live video cut in. The first version was not featured due to being lost until early 2009 when it was discovered while compiling rare music and video which has been unreleased officially or on a bootleg.

Greg Bates

Greg Bates was the co-founding member of Billy Corgan's first noted band, Coat of Eyes. He and Corgan met at a teen night club in 1983 and formed the band, which was originally called Bates Motel, of Bates's namesake. Bates played the keyboards, and according to an interview with SPFreaks, he took over as the lead singer as Corgan was unhappy with his voice. When the band moved to St. Petersburg, Florida, Bates was stayed in Chicago as he was still in high school. With his departure, the band rebranded as The Marked.

Haenim

"Haenim" is the debut solo single by Smashing Pumpkins guitarist Jeff Schroeder. It is a cover of a song written by Shin Joong Hyun and originally performed by Kim Jung Mi on her 1973 album, Now. Schroeder said that in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the song was calling him so he decided to record it with some friends as a form of healing. He dedicated the song to musician Max Perenchio (aka "The Pelican Boy"),https://www.instagram.com/p/CRT7L0bM_KA/ who died in a car accident on November 26, 2020.
Schroeder first announced the song on Instagram on July 12, 2021,https://www.instagram.com/p/CROEEEHnIxq/ and it was released digitally on July 14, 2021.
== Recording ==
The recording features Third Eye Blind bassist Arion Salazar, Shane Graham on drums, and Heeya So on vocals. The initial session took place at The Cave studio in Los Angeles, and Schroeder later added additional guitar layers at his home studio. So recorded her vocals remotely. Schroeder told Guitar World, "I had to find someone that was comfortable singing the song in Korean, but also [that] understood the vibe … I wanted someone who could bring a Nico-esque character to the vocal performance. Heeya did such a great job."
Schroeder explained the song nods to his family's roots in Korea. "Much of my life, my existence of who I am, is because my mom was born there, and was from that generation. "Haenim" really connects me to that culture."

Here Is No Why

"Here Is No Why" is a song from The Smashing Pumpkins' third studio album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
When asked about the "the death-rock boy" lyrics, Billy Corgan told Rolling Stone, "There’s a lot of me in that lyric. There’s certainly an acknowledgment of that self-absorbed woe-is-me thing. The chorus says a lot: 'In your sad machines you’ll forever stay.' It’s a wink back at the overly dramatic 18-year-old me."
The song was first performed live by Corgan's side project Starchildren at a single show on June 18, 1994. This version has different lyrics and was sometimes known as "Just Between".http://www.spfc.org/songs-releases/song.html?song_alt_id=56&song_type=-1
== Song title ==
Some believe the title is a nod to the phrase "There is no why" from The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury. The phrase, and the song, describes the mindset of people who simply live their lives without questioning their existence.
The title is also reminiscent of Primo Levi's If This Is a Man, about Levi's time as a prisoner in Auschwitz. In the book there is an incident where Levi is thirsty, and breaks off an icicle dangling on the windowsill. A Nazi guard then aims his gun at him. Levi asks him 'Why?' and the guard replies, 'Here there is no why' ('Hier ist kein warum').
In the 2012 reissue of Mellon Collie, Corgan clarified that the "title was appropriated from an article I'd read on an anniversary of the world's first nuclear attacks. A survivor, in surveying a legacy of near-total devastation, had remarked in broken English that 'Here is no why.'"Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness 2012 reissue liner notes

High School Cadets

"High School Cadets" is a march written in 1890 by John Philip Sousa that was played at Smashing Pumpkins live performances in 2007 while the band came onstage. The march was written in honor of the cadet drill team of Washington High School in the District of Columbia, is in regimental march form (I-AA-BB-CC-DD) and is a popular selection for school concert and marching bands, as well as for professional orchestras and bands. The march has been arranged for a wide variety of instruments and ensembles and has been frequently recorded, including at least two recorded performances by Sousa's own band. It is unclear which recording of the song was used at Pumpkins shows, although it was a shortened version of the march, lasting approximately 1 minute.

Honor

Honor is a five-song EP from Jimmy Chamberlin Complex released on September 25, 2020.
== Background ==
Chamberlin has said the album came together organically from a 2018 jam session between him, Billy Mohler and Sean Woolstenhulme, with "no agenda other than self expression."Jimmy Chamberlin. September 25, 2020 tweet In just a few hours, they recorded basic parts from some riffs they enjoyed, and sent them out to fellow musicians Ben Wendell, Frank Catalano, Adam Benjamin and Shane Endsley to record additional parts. "The genre swapping is just a natural occurrence," he told American Songwriter. "We all live in slightly different musical environments, and those influences and nuances become a part of the music. We don’t talk about genres. Generally anything that is appealing is acceptable and merits further investigation regardless of where it lives. It makes it much more interesting to create in those widened parameters and makes many more things available."
In making the album, Chamberlin was thinking of his two teenage children and the challenges they face. However despite the album and song titles, he said "I want people to come to their own conclusions" through their listening. "If the album’s title is an impetus for self-reflection, then that’s cool too," he added.

Humanity: Hour I

Humanity: Hour I is the sixteenth studio album by German hard rock band, Scorpions. "The Cross" features vocal contributions from Billy Corgan.
Humanity: Hour I generally received very good reviews. AllMusic called it a "perfect balance between nu metal guitar crunch and '80s heavy metal melodies" and lists "The Cross" as one of the suggested tracks.
== Background ==
Corgan has expressed his fandom of Scorpions, particularly the song "Dark Lady" which he said influenced "Tarantula" off of Zeitgeist.http://www.alternativenation.net/billy-corgan-talks-scorpions-in-new-book/ In fact, Humanity: Hour I was recorded at roughly the same time as Zeitgeist, both at The Village Recorder, and this is how the collaboration came to be.
Scorpions guitarist and founding member Rudolf Schenker said in an interview: "I wanted [Corgan] already as a special guest for the Moment of Glory project … but they couldn't get in touch with him. When I was in Los Angeles before we started Humanity: Hour I, he invited me into his studio. He was so happy to see me and to talk about Scorpions and talk about he has all this pirate stuff and even some recorded from fans from the Tokyo Tapes and all that stuff and I mentioned that I wanted him for the Moment of Glory album and he said ah, too bad that that didn't work out. I said … we have a song called "The Cross" and it would be fantastic if you can sing on it. … So in this case it was so natural … Billy came one day with his headphones and there he was, doing his part, and it fit perfectly. I like Smashing Pumpkins, especially his vocals, I like his work very much. He is a great musician, an outstanding kind of guy."https://www.antimusic.com/morley/07/Scorpions.shtml

Hummer

Hummer is the fourth song from The Smashing Pumpkins' second studio album, Siamese Dream. At 6:57, it is comparatively long for a rock song. It starts with a guitar with altered distortion (sounding like a sitar) and other effects playing a quiet riff. At 29 seconds, the song abruptly flows into the main verse riff with loud, distorted guitar. Billy Corgan has said that he experienced massive writer's block during the recording of Siamese Dream, and that "Hummer" is the subject of this lack of inspiration. The lyric "When I woke up from that sleep/ I was happier than I'd ever been" could be about the end of the writer's block. Corgan has also stated that the song "is the idea that life is not designed for those who are cheerful, whistling, daydreamers, [but] designed to be cruel and mean"Gladstone, Eric. "Psychic Reliquaries and Separation Anxiety ", Alternative Press. August, 1993., and was especially displeased that the Chicago Sun Times gave it a bad review because of its extremely personal subject matter. The recording includes over 40 individual tracks.
The song ranked at #8 in Rolling Stone's reader's poll of the best Smashing Pumpkins songs.https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/readers-poll-the-best-smashing-pumpkins-songs-13645/14-porcelina-of-the-vast-oceans-213520/
