Other than the obvious wear-and-tear on Corgan's voice over the years, this song is good...probably their best single since the Mellon Collie era. I'm very, very pleased, and I'm officially pumped for the new album.

AND THERES MORE THAN ONE GUITAR SOLO

Cool...but...I'm pretty sure you should not have posted that link.

[Repair Man]

shrug, that same link to the song has been up on the main SP fan site since this afternoon and hasn't bee removed as of yet (which usually happens fairly quickly at the order of the band) which leads me to believe all is good. With that said, I'd understand if admins here felt obliged to remove the link.

Awesome.

needs more whining

[Asimo]

Can't wait for the album.

[ReCoN]

same asimo, im pretty pumped for this.

[polarity]

Oh my. I might have to dust off Mellon Collie in preparation for this.

[NemesisMMi]

This single also raises my hopes for the album.. :D

They also announced a ton of tour dates. I'm hoping to go to the Asheville, NC show on June 30th.

It doesn't sound bad, but it's not knock-you-off-your-feet by any means. If this is the best song they could put out, I probably won't buy the album unless they have other singles that are a little better.

I think they'll have limited success with it, but it's just not catchy enough to be a major single and go 5x platinum or anything.

Judging from past releases, I highly doubt this is the best song on the album. With a few glaring exceptions (1979, Tonight, Cherub Rock), the Pumpkins singles have always been middle-of-the-road in terms of quality.

They just finished playing their first show in Paris a few minutes ago. Here's a set list for those of you that plan on seeing them during their upcoming tour.

2. Today
3. Stand Inside Your Love
4. Orchid (?)

That's one hell of a set list, wish I could have gone.

[Asimo]

Wow, just amazing. I can't wait for them to get close to Oregon.

Some youtube videos of the show:

Winterlong (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12o5GDwF3Hk&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fforums%2Enetphoria%2Eorg%2Fshowt hread%2Ephp%3Ft%3D140897%26page%3D2%26pp%3D30)
For God and Country (New Song) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0qp94wN980)
United States Intro (New Song) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaRAmI9P3RY)

In addition to these, there's some other shitty videos circulating now on youtube and various other websites; these are the best you'll be able to find for the next day or two.

According to many of those in attendance, United States was among the best songs they played. Apparently it was the heaviest and the intro clip seems to back that up...I can't wait to hear the album version.

A few people in the front row (the same responsible for the Winterlong video) supposedly recorded the majority of the show's audio in pretty good quality and captured a few other short video clips of various songs (Tarantula, Bullet With Butterfly Wings, Silverfuck, Thirty Three, Muzzle). None of this has been put online as of yet, but should be up within the next few days. I'll edit this post when I have a working link.

Oh, and heres a picture.

the lack of whining pleases me.
