From the Twitter of Billy Corgan:
I figure since it will be out so soon we could use a thread. Discuss!

Ryon, jumping the gun a little? We'll have two whole weeks with nothing real to discuss!

Oh well, I'm actually curious to see how it will turn out, what with the combination of rainbow synths and ultra girl power wrestling. For some reason I'm envisioning something that leaves me with an impression akin to the Fatboy Slim "Praise You" video...

Someone was going to make it eventually and I figured it would be a good place to put news as it arrives.

My eyes will be glued to the Yahoo! homepage on June 28th for this video.

The timing of this is a little unfortunate. I would have liked to have seen the video released the same day as the song. There would have been much more internet buzz surrounding the song that way.

Yeah, I have no interest in the video at all. I keep forgetting there's even one coming out soon until I read something about it on here. I suppose I'll end up watching it once out of curiosity though.

Yeah! New thread!

Yeah, if the video was released with the song, I think it would have been more of a big deal. Now though, it seems that no one really cares about the video. Or if they do its only minimally with the amount of other great Pumpkins stuff going on.

I hope the clip is cool, or at least funny

Untitled - don't think I've seen it
Siva - can't remember it
Rhinoceros - can't remember it
33 - can't remember it
Rocket - can't remember it
Tarrantula 1/10

Stand Inside Your Love 9/10
Tonight, Tonight 10/10
Ava Adore 11/10

Honestly, I thought the Stand Inside Your Love video was pretty awful. And I liked Tarantula. It was just a cool performance video.

What was wrong with Stand Inside Your Love? I think it's a artistic masterpiece using clever symbolism, and it shows such an accumulation of Billy's life purpose, quest and true self.

I've only seen Tarantula's clip a couple of times, a couple of times too many. I felt sick after watching it. Turned a great song into lameass gayness

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on there Frankie...care to explain the low score for the Tonight, Tonight video? didn't you know that thing won an MTV award? And after all, MTV is the voice of our generation...

My favorites are T.T. (or as I like to call it, "tittie") Rhinoceros, Siva, and 33.

6 out of 10 is a good score

Why Tonight isn't better than that for me is, it seems a little b-grade with the effects, and a little over the top.
Sure it's okay and fun to watch, but it doesn't move me emotionally.

Tonight, Tonight - 10/10
Today- 9/10
Thirty Three - 9/10
BWBW – 8/10
Perfect - 8/10
1979 - 7/10
Ava Adore - 7/10
That's the Way My Love Is – 7/10
Try, Try, Try – 6/10
Disarm- 6/10
Rocket – 6/10
Stand Inside Your Love – 5/10
Everlasting Gaze – 4/10
G.L.O.W. - 4/10
Zero – 4/10
Tarantula – 4/10
Siva – 3/10
Rhinoceros – 3/10
Cherub Rock - Haven't Seen
The End Is the Beginning... - Haven't Seen
Untitled - Haven't Seen

Frank come on, SIYL a 10/10? The song maybe, but the video? bleh

Tarantula wasn't bad but the best Pumpkins video is 33 no contest. (Well, Ava Adore comes close)

Why is nobody rating Superchrist? Not that im saying its that good im just confused haha. As for Owata video, i'm gonna be bold and say i think it will be shit. Dont like the song and the video sounds like it will be cringing. Moving on to TT, Im gonna prepare for abuse and murder threats, i hate that video. It was the first thing i ever saw from Pumpkins (and heard) and i have to say, i hated it. But i was very naive at the time and didnt understand music like i do now. I love TT now but i hate the video still. It reminds of a musical. And i understand the artistic value and brilliance of it, i just hate it. Sorry. But thats my opinion. I love you all please dont hurt me for my words.

I love the TT video personally, but I could see how it might not cater to everyone's taste.

yah, unless you see someone named "gished", there's no need to prepare for abuse or murder


Foog, I wanted to watch the Stand Inside Your Love video online just for kicks but EMI apparently went and blocked it. I don't want to dig around for my DVD set...I'll just close my eyes and imagine the fat guy on my own.

haha, gished. yes, if he was here right now he would be threatening to eviscerate your puppy and probably you as well. that guy was such an ass.

death threats aren't the norm here though. only on Netphoria where they hate on each other in order to fill the gaps between Billy bashing. in fact "gished" might fit there.

dailymotion.com apparently has the EMI-approved videos for viewing (but you have to sit through an advertisement first). You can see it there.
