## Fall 1995 - Pumpkinland and Soundworks, Chicago

Produced by Billy Corgan and Jeff
Moleski

* Marquis in Spades
* Medellia of the Grey Skies (take 3)
* Medellia of the Grey Skies (take 1)
* Mouths of Babes
* Pasticio Medley
* Pennies
* Sad Peter Pan

Post-album b-sides recording sessions at Pumpkinland and Soundworks. Aside for recording songs that were lost in the shuffle of Mellon Collie album tracks, some overdub work was done to others which were unfinished from the Pumpkinland/CRC sessions ("God", "Cherry", etc).

**Billy Corgan on "Marquis in Spades"**: The band never really liked this song. They were always snickering at
it, but I always liked its sheer brutality. It was recorded live on my
8-track cassette recorder, on which I've done almost all my demos since
before Gish.

**Billy Corgan on "Medellia of the Grey Skies"**: originally titled "E.P.," this song was briefly considered for Mellon
Collie as a companion piece to "Porcelina of the Vast Oceans." I could
never seem to finish the lyrics until right before it was recorded, live
with my pals from The Frogs. This song turned out must more beautiful
than I ever dreamed possible, teaching me yet another lesson in
spontaneity.

**Billy Corgan on "Mouths of Babes"**: During the year and a half of Siamese Dream touring, we tried to work on
all sorts of new songs. From all the endless jams and tapes, this song
and "Marquis in Spades" were the only ones that survived. A favorite at
soundcheck with nonlyrics forever. Another heavy metal victim, or at
least too much like a Siamese Dream track.

**Billy Corgan on "Pastichio Medley"**: This is our growing infamous riff collection of practically, but not
almost, every idea that was attempted for Mellon Collie that didn't even
make B-sides status. I sorted through hundreds of hours of rehearsal and
album tapes, and kind of randomly ran small bits all together to create
a pastiche of madness. The original titles were all used.

**Billy Corgan on "Pennies"**: One of those songs that I write in 10 minutes and can't seem to shake
off. I like this song a lot, and find myself humming it about the house,
as it is a very rare example of actual Pumpkins humor in a song.
Recorded live to a 8-track cassette, with a few acoustic 12-string
overdubs just to give it a little zing. This was our second choice for a
take; the better take was lost when the engineer forgot to press
"record."

* Knights of Malta
* Marches On
* Seek and You Shall Destroy
* Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts)
* Solara
* Travels
* With Sympathy

Recording sessions for Shiny and Oh So Bright. At first intending to record merely a single, Rick Rubin encouraged the reformed Smashing Pumpkins to record eight songs instead, re-recording half of the demos prepared at The Village Recorder.

You know, originally we were only going to do one song. We were just
looking for something to say, “OK, we’re back.“ I think what ended up
happening was the environment was so casual that we kind of relaxed and
went back to almost an earlier way of working before we began taking on
these big conceptual swings, starting with *Mellon Collie*. I
think we were mimicking the inner workings of a band on its first couple
 of albums than say what people would have been familiar with from the
mid-‘90s on.

We never lacked confidence in what we do musically. It’s just that what
we do musically doesn’t always align itself with what people want or
expect from us. This was as easy a situation as it gets. We had a great
producer, Rick Rubin, and we had three of the original four progenitors
of the band in the room. All we had to do was come up with one song.
That’s a pretty relaxed atmosphere. It’s like saying to Babe Ruth, “Hey,
 do you think you can hit a home run?“ I don’t ever think you lose that
mindset that you can’t swing for the fences.

* Ache (Silverfuck)

8-track demos
that all date from this period, although exact recording information is
unknown.  "Wave Song" was
written and sung by James and can be found on the Mashed Potatoes unofficial
box set, as well as "STP".

**Billy Corgan**: [Rocket], the first song written for Siamese Dream, and for a time, the only good new song we had, which we played on the Gish tours. I had never bothered to take the time to write any formal lyrics, so I would just fake my way through them at each show. No one could hear what I was singing anyway, but the title was enough. The arrangement still sounds fresh so many years along, and watch as it all ends with a beautiful, cascading up; the boom-boom of our ship taking off. It stands as a poem to the past that has just left us behind. We are going places fast! And we can't get there fast enough. Don't forget to bring your fresh nails for the crosses hidden up on the dark side of the moon.

**Billy Corgan**: [Silverfuk], an endless jam that we beat into submission, using the club crowds as test dummies for what needs to be a ever-infinite magnum opus. We are inspired by a date we play in Minneapolis by a UK band called Thee Hypnotics, who play a thirty minute encore that goes on for so long that the club cuts the power, yet the band refuses to stop. One can only find these hidden realms by pushing past the bounds of time and expectation. Eventually this song will stretch in 45 minutes, driving half the crowd for the exists. Managers warn that this song alone is costing us t-shirt sales. I end the song by breaking every string off with my bare hands. We are all fucked. It doesn't matter what t-shirt you are wearing when you figure that out.

March 1996 – Charing Cross Studios

## March 1996 – Charing Cross Studios, Australia

Produced by Billy Corgan and Martin White

* Jupiter’s Lament
* The Aeroplane Flies High
* The Last Song
* Transformer

Basic
tracks recorded in Australia, while on tour.
The final recording session with Jimmy before his firing; ominously
Jonathon Melvoin was present but did not perform.  Further overdubs were recorded later in
Chicago.  They were mixed, along with
Eye, at Chung King Studios by Neil Perry.

**Billy Corgan on "The Aeroplane Flies High (Turns Left, Looks Right)"**: A brief snippet of this tune, which was originally entitled
"Disconnected," is found in the "Pastichio Medley." This is a Mellon
Collie riff that I could never seem to find a place for. Flood didn't like this one much ("too heavy metal"-a common complaint),
and I never finished it until right before it was recorded. Essentially
a new song with an old riff, with spoken word bits courtesy of my
friend. The solo, funnily enough, was quickly thrown down because I
had to go to a funeral. It was supposed to be a reference for where to
pick up when I came back. But when I returned, I was surprised by how
much I liked it.

**Billy Corgan on "The Last Song"**: This is the only B-side written entirely after Mellon Collie was
completed; I always seem to write a little burst of songs in the momentum
of finishing an album (see "Drown"). I thought for a while about holding
this song for our next record, but in the end I decided that it was so
in the spirit of Mellon Collie that it was best served as an extra
track. I never intended to have a guitar solo, but my father was hanging
out with me at the studio, so I asked him to play on it. Every time I
hear this song, I burst with pride to hear my father's great, and very
influential to me, guitar playing.

**Billy Corgan on "Transformer"**: Flood thought that "Transformer" was almost like a novelty song. But I
always like that crazy-go-go beat. Recorded in Sydney, Australia, and
Chicago, this song has about nine rhythm guitars, all playing the same
three notes. Also, many of the guitars were sampled out and destroyed
going back in.

Return to Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

September 1996 – Chung King

## September 1996 - Penguin Studios and Chung King, NY

Produced by Billy Corgan; Engineered by Chris Shepard; Mixed by Neil
Perry

* Lizards
* Rats
* Spiders
* Squirrels with Tails
* Worms
* Worms (part 2)
* *Appels + Oranjes*

Recorded in about a week, this was just Billy Corgan and Matt Walker recording riffs for the Ransom Soundtrack. Billy's scant vocals were recorded on a mini tape dictaphone recorder.   These songs were
curiously copyrighted as Parallel Stories. Appels + Oranjes made its first recorded appearance at this session.

While grunge rock superstars Smashing Pumpkins were in Syracuse for a
Sept. 7 concert at the OnCenter War Memorial, the band needed a quick
studio fix. The Chicago-based Virgin recording artists realized that they
were going to miss a deadline to submit three all-instrumental tracks to
film director Ron Howard for an upcoming movie. So their road manager,
former Syracusan Tim "Gooch" Lougee, steered them to Steve Feldman's
Penguin Studio in East Syracuse.

"At 11 a.m. on Saturday, the day of the concert, (lead singer-guitarist)
Billy Corgan walked into the studio," Feldman said. "He was a little tired
from the road, but we had a good time working together. He was really laid
back."

The head-shaven Corgan helped Feldman mix down the three instrumental
tracks, "Worms Part One," "Rat's Tail" and "Squirrels," for 4 1/2 hours.
"Billy is obviously really good at what he does," Feldman observed. "And
he seemed to like the studio. He had no complaints."

Feldman noted that the Pumpkins have previously worked with another Salt
City producer, Jeff Molesky, now located in the Windy City.

**Billy Corgan**: I just did some music for the Ron Howard movie, Ransom, and some
of it is indicative to me of what is ahead-not necessarily the music
which is very aggressive electronic music, but the process by which I'm
going to approach it. If we do decide to make another record, we feel
completely free of the burden of having to do anything, including
playing
live. I think if we do anything, it will be more music focused and less
grind focused.

**Billy Corgan**: "Appels + Oranjes" has the distinction of being the first song written for Adore, demoed out during a session with Mat Walker, as other music was being put together for what became the Ransom Soundtrack. And here lies another story, as the famed composer I was to share the album's cover with had me summarily kicked off it. Why? Because he claimed the work I'd done was not 'music,' and he would not be sullied by it. To him, and to you, I say it is better to make original noise than luke-warm, adopted themes trolled from the greats. To he, I dedicate this hymn. For what if his shining, erstwhile baton refused to shudder at our collective rebellion?

March-August 1995 – Bugg Studios

## August 1995 - Bugg Studios, Chicago

Produced by James
Iha and Kerry Brown

* Believe
* ...Said Sadly
* The Boy

 James’
b-sides for the Mellon Collie singles were apparently recorded at his
home.

**James Iha**: Well, we finished recording the record and Billy, Flood,
and Alan Molder went straight to L.A. to start mixing. So right
afterwards I did about another 11 days of recording in a studio doing
b-sides with Kerry Brown. We did about 6 b-sides, two of which didn't
work out. On one song I did a duet with Nina Gordon from Veruca Salt.
That's going to be the first b-side from the first single. That was
pretty fun. She's sings really well. She can sing better than me, that's

for sure!

**James Iha on "Believe"**: This was another song recorded the day after the music for
the album was done. It's supposed to be an uplifting song, but it had
this undercurrent of longing, depression, sadness, etc....The opening
guitar was played on a Gibson J-100XTRA, which has got this great,
wide-open sound, and there's a clean electric guitar doubling it but
mixed way back to give a chorusing "sparkle." There are also two bass
guitar tracks on most of the song, played on a weird Epiphone bass that
I bought for a hundred dollars at a pawn shop, and which also got used
a lot on Siamese Dream. On the track, one plays chords high up and the
other just plays the root notes to give it some weight.

**James Iha on "...Said Sadly"**: A fun song to write and record. It's sort of my version of a
country duet song. I recorded this the day after we finished the music for
the album, and had a friend of mine, Nina Gordan (of Veruca Salt), sing
with me because she's got a great tone and character in her voice. The
guitar fills and slide guitar are in the style of Derek & the Dominoes,
Clarence White, the Byrds and the Allman Brothers. We did one track of
guitar fills with a Les Paul through an MXR phaser with a clean sound,
as well as another track of Les Paul slide guitar which gives the song
kind of a romantic sound, most of which was done in one or two takes.

**James Iha on "The Boy"**: This is a New Wave song that has the power-pop Jazzmaster
with a warped neck that looks cool but isn't really good to play.
There's also this funny guitar-drum break in the middle of the song
where I hang a chord and use the whammy bar. Flood liked this song but
it just didn't fit the album.

Sessions for "Christmastime", essentially a solo Billy Corgan performance to R&B producer Arif Mardin's production.

"Smashing Pumpkins mainman Billy Corgan has recorded a solo song for the
upcoming charity record `A Very Special Christmas.` Apparently, Corgan recorded the song - appropriately titled
`Christmastime` - when he was in New York recently, producing the new solo
album from Ric Ocasek, the Bad Brains/Hole producer who was also a one-time
member of classic `80s American pop-rock band The Cars. So far, there has been no confirmation as to who else played on
`Christmastime` with Corgan.

**Shadowfax** is one of the last known Maeras horses in all of
Middle-earth.  During the War of the
Ring, Shadowfax was ridden by Gandalf. The wizard used him once to get from
Rohan to Rivendell and used him again as a mount from Fangorn to Rohan to free Théoden from Saruman’s will.

Shadowfax later helped Gandalf recruit Éomer, who was exiled
by Gríma Wormtongue. Gandalf and Pippin later used him as their mount from the beginning of the siege of Gondor to the battle of the Black Gate.

Recording sessions for famed British DJ John Peel.

**Billy Corgan**: from our slightly infamous john Peel session. we of course showed up expectin to meet John peel, but it's not like that at all. we were 2 hours late due to some technicak misunderstanding-- but we e we were treated so poorly by thi by this idiot who used to be the drummer from mott ehs upple that it is probably \*1 on our all time worst experiences list. this was originally recorded by the animals roughly around the time that Jimi hendrix went to england to become... well you catch my drift. vented thru to many years of out and out riffdom, this still sounds powerful to my jaded ears, i mean we meant it back then,, but that was long agoe. but that was long a go-o, so now listen hear, i want to be so oh so clear si so we only ended up recording 3 songs that day(siva and smiley too) becuase it was oh so uptight, but i'm glad we did tolerate that mott the nipple that day even though i don't think we would now.

**Billy Corgan**: recorded for our first bbc session, we were led like lambs to the slaughter by a bored ex-rock star (who was assigned to us as session producer) and his chief assistant (a cockney who hated our too-loud sound). we were mocked for asking any question, and each and every request to change a sound was met with a fake turning of the knobs; to which i yelled "do you think i'm deaf and can't hear you haven't done anything?" the upside from this charade was that in anger we played with ferocious might; one of the few documents we have in studio that captures the way we were meant to destroy music and each other be exalting in its ad infinitum power.

Before entering a studio to record Mellon Collie,
Flood and the Pumpkins went into Pumpkinland, their Chicago rehearsal space, to
run through all of the new material, now outfitted with recording gear as a
make-shift studio. This is probably the source for many of the Pasticio Medley
songs, as many basic tracks for the Mellon Collie album were recorded here, as
well as numerous jams and song sketches. The above listing is the contents of
two days of rehearsal filmed for the MTV Rockumentary on The Smashing Pumpkins,
sourced from the bootleg video called “666.” Evidence suggests that video
exists of "God" and "Rubberman" as well, since they appeared on the Rockumentary but not the 666 tape bootleg.

singing voice fills the control room of a second-floor studio at the Village Recorder,
in Los Angeles. Corgan listens intently to his own nihilist howl -- "My reflection,
dirty mirror/There's no connection to myself -- before turning his attention back to the
piece of paper on which he makes a series of small check marks.

Corgan and his co-producer Flood are playing one of Corgan's several vocal takes of
"Zero," a searing number from the Smashing Pumpkins' new epic double album, Mellon
Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Corgan and Flood are "comping vocals" -- comparing
Corgan's performances for timing, melody and delivery to determine which parts of which
takes they want to edit into a composite master. To an outsider the apparent variations
are somewhere in the frequency range of dog whistles. But to Corgan -- the 28-year-old
singer, guitarist, songwriter and obsessive sonic conscience of the Pumpkins -- this is
serious shit.

"It is a means to an end," Corgan says wearily the next day during a break from mixing
another Mellon Collie firecracker, "Bullet With Butterfly Wings." "It's not the best
means to an end. It's not the shortest distance between two points. But it is a means to
an end.

"In a weird kind of way," Corgan says, "music has afforded me an idealism and
perfectionism that I could never attain as me."

It is sometimes hard to tell how much Corgan truly enjoys his work. Surprisingly tall
and broad shouldered, he walks with a gangly, elastic stride, his head bowed in a slight
hunch as if he were wearing some great, invisible yoke around his neck. Corgan's hair,
cut short and dyed jet black, gives his boyish, porcelain-white features an even more
ghostly pallor. And when he joins the album's other co-producer, Alan Moulder, behind
the board to work on "Bullet," Corgan's face goes dead blank as he loses himself in the
song's tidal roar.

Recorded at that last second, and tagged onto the album, possibly as sort of an

also heard on the leaked Machina pre-master.

* *[about 20 other Adore demos]*
* *[about 8 or 10 other Batman demos]*

The Pumpkins with Matt Walker recorded a set of roughly 30 demos for Adore, intended to be a Bob
Dylan-inspired live-in-the-studio session. The album version of "Annie-Dog" as well as the b-side "Once In A While" comes from these sessions. The band also supposedly recorded about 45 minutes worth of demos
for the Batman soundtrack, probably also done at this session; "Guns of Love Disastrous" and "The Ether's Tragic" are probably from this session as well. While all this session appeared in remixed form on the Adore Remaster, the original mixes leaked as a bootleg in 1999.

**Billy Corgan**: James, D’arcy, and I go in to Chicago Recording Company with Matt Walker
 on drums, and over about 3-4 days quickly lay down some of my new
tunes…(the Adore album version of “Annie-dog” is recorded live in these
sessions, as is the first run thru of “for Martha” without the
lyrics)…James and D’arcy and Matt play really great (we record live),
and seem to like and appreciate the new songs…the lack of any outside
pressures, the laid back atmosphere, seem to suit everyone’s mood and we
 are optimistic that this is going to be a quicker, less painful album
to make (my original estimate was it would take all of 6 weeks to record
 Adore-Mellon Collie had taken 8 months)…buoyed by the latest work, I
make plans to start the album “for real”…I want everything to be
recorded live, or if not totally live, be done really quickly…I am
inspired by Bob Dylan’s approach from the 1960’s where you just when in
and did your songs really fast (1 or 2 takes)…I tell myself this is what
 has been missing from the band, this sense of freedom and spontaneity…

Witch-king's Fell-beast

**The Witch-king's Fell beast** is an unnamed character and a supporting antagonist in The Return of the King, and is the Witch king of Angmar's pet. It was later killed by the Human woman, Lady Eowyn, niece of Theoden.

## Character overview

The Witch-king's Fell beast was a mount of the Witch king of Angmar. After their horses were seemingly killed by Arwen when she summoned the river, the Witch-king and his fellow Nazgul companions took on fell-beast as pets. This fell-beast was ridden in to battle during the siege of Gondor where it intercepted Gandalf, Shadowfax and Pippin when the trio were on their way in saving Faramir from his deranged father.

The beast met its end when Eowyn, niece of King Theoden beheaded it before it could kill her dying uncle. Its master followed later

## Physical appearance

The fellbeast was a large figure, almost the size of a dragon. It has almost the appearance of a dragons. The fellbeast was black and had wings and sharp teeth. It is mostly seen wearing black armor throughout the third and last part of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

## Personality

It was very vicious and blood thirsty, but also loyal to its rider, the Witch king of Angmar. It is blood-thirsty because the witch king orders it to "feast on [Theoden's] flesh." It shows no remorse to its prey and even terrified the great horse Shadowfax.

## The Two Towers

The witchking's fellbeast appeared once as a minor character. Here, it started acting s the Ring-wraith's mount, along with other fellbeasts. It was seen searching for Frodo, Sam and Gollum, after the One Ring.

**(From The One Ring Wiki:**

**)** Later, it flies over Osgiliath as it is being attacked by Mordor, and it almost captures the hobbit Frodo Baggins after the Witch-king senses that the One Ring was with the halfling. But before the fell beast attacks Frodo, the other hobbit Samwise Gamgee saves him, and Faramir ofGondor shoots an arrow at the fell beast's neck. Frightened, the creature flies away to Mordor.

## The Return of the King

The fell beast makes its second appearance in the trilogy, acting as the mount of the Witch king into battle and appears to have a larger role in this film than the last appearance.

While Frodo and Sam along with Gollum approach the stairs of Cirith Ungol, the creature appears at the top of Minas Morgul screeching out in the air before leading teh orcs into battle. Later, is briefly scene with the Witch-king where they had taken Osgiliath from Gondor.

The fell-beast is given an extra scene in the uncut version of *Return of the King* where it and the Witch-king of Angmar intercept Gandalf, Pippin Took and Shadowfax before King Théoden arrives with his army. The creature along with its master attacks Théoden and his horse before the king's niece named Éowyn came to defend her uncle. She took her sword and chopped its head off. The fell beast's master was killed shortly after by Eowyn and her hobbit friend, Meriadoc Brandybuck.
