Rating: Summary: So Much More Than You'd Think Review: First of all the Pumpkins were the best rock band of the 90's right? Anyway, this DVD features all of the great videos from their career, and some footage from their last show in 2000 along with 'Try'. All of their great videos are included in this DVD, including Disarm (my favorite), Bullet With Butterfly Wings, Tonight Tonight, 1979, Siva, Ava Adore, The Everlasting Gaze, heck you name it it's on here. Not only do you get the videos, but you also get outakes from the videos, along with extra footage, but you also get a commentary on every video from the Band, and a few comments from the directors as well. You also get fun little FYI comments throughout the video along a few tidbits of personal information about the band. Anyway, this is a great video for anyone who has followed the Pumpkins, or enjoys this type of music.
Rating: Summary: Smashing Pumpkins the greatest rock band of the 90's Review: Anyone who has ever heard the Smashing Pumpkins on the radio and loved them, or owns all there albums like i do will love this DVD. Besides the fact being able to watch these great videos over and over again is heaven. Getting to hear Mr Corgan and the bands thoughts on the process that went in to making all these videos is unbelieveable. Its a must have for anyone who calls them selves a fan of rock.
Rating: Summary: Great Band, Great Music...Not So Great Videos Review: Except for the videos of "Bullet With Butterfly Wings", "Tonight, Tonight" and "The Everlasting Gaze", this has got to be the most disappointing video collection I've ever wasted my hard-earned money on. The low point of this collection has to be a tie between the videos for "Try, Try, Try" and "Try - a short film by Jonas Akerlund". As realistic and honest as they are, they are just depressing beyond belief to watch. Don't waste your money on this...it's not worth it.
Rating: Summary: "We don't even care to shake these zipper blues..." Review: Like their music, the Pumpkins' videos are imaginative and quite beautiful. My favourite videos here are Today, Disarm, Zero, 33, The Everlasting Gaze, Try Try Try and best of all, Ava Adore. Each video comes with an invaluable commentary by the band and the director(s), along with outtakes and (occasionally) behind the scenes footage. The other DVD extras include live versions of Geek USA and F*ck You/An Ode to No One, a promo video for I Am One, and the and the complete version of the short movie Try.It goes without saying that any Pumpkins fan should check this DVD out. There's very little wrong with it. I could've done with more live stuff, but maybe I should try to be less greedy. I'm very very pleased that I bought it.
Rating: Summary: DVD at its best Review: There are many reasons people like DVD's. The viewing options, the menues, the extras, all that is necessary in a good DVD. There are many reasons people like the Smashing Pumpkins. Their music, their influence, the style they play, their presence, all that is necessary in a good band. put the two together...
Rating: Summary: WOW Review: This is the best of the best. If your a Pumpkins fan, this is the DVD 4 u. The pumpkins are AWESOME. I can't say enough about this DVD but I do want 2 say if you get a DVD this year get this one!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: A good DVD.. but I feel a little disappointed. Review: This DVD has everything, but behind the scenes footage (I know 'Untitled' was one, but that was a video). I was definitely disappointed, because I thought I could see how the Pumpkins worked behind the music, in the studios and etc., since it's the end of their career as the Smashing Pumpkins. Otherwise, this DVD has everything you can ask for. Commentaries on the videos, all the videos, two live perfomances (which one of them is a sneak peak from their last show), and an unreleased song. It is certainly a long DVD, but it's worth it for any Pumpkins fan.
Rating: Summary: The Smashing Pumpkins saga continues! Review: What can I say about this dvd? It's amazing to watch Billy, D'arcy, James, and Jimmy evolve into one of the biggest bands of all time. This is a definate for any Smashing Pumpkins fan. You can almost look into the mind of Billy Corgan and see what he sees. I love it. I'm so happy that they finally took the opportunity to do this with there wonderful work. I could watch this over and over again if I had the time. Instead of looking for all of there video's on-line and wasting valuable time downloading you can just buy the dvd and watch it on a clear tv screen. Its perfect for any fan of the infamous Smashing Pumpkins.
Rating: Summary: Spectacular...Even For Non-Fans Review: The Pumpkins had many of the greatest videos of all-time. Certainly, "Tonight, Tonight" is about as good as it gets. In addition to getting all their videos, you also get an extra audio track that supplies you with anecdotes and information on the making of each video--that alone would make this DVD a bargain at twice the price. Non-fans of the band, but fans of the genre of rock videos, should consider this a must-buy. And, if you're a fan, this is worth buying a DVD player if you don't already have one!
Rating: Summary: The Music That Defines Our Generation Review: This DVD is amazing. An awesome collection of music with such a wonderful visual representation that it never gets old. This DVD gives much insite into what inspired Billy Corgan to write these songs and to the emotions that he was feeling. This is a must have for any Smashing Pumpkins fans, I love it and I wish everyone could experience the music the same way I do.
