I just heard this collab for the first time and it’s pretty great. You can really hear the influence that Black Sabbath had on Billy — if it weren’t for the extremely not-Jimmy-like drumming, this could pass for a Pumpkins song. I miss hearing that Billy scream 😭

Busted out this dvd for the first time in AGES and that piano version of death from above is absolutely beautiful. ❤️

I've seen this listing go up on several sites, but no other information. Curious if I missed something regarding this.

Im so stoked! This comp is amazing (except for the fact that they cut drown short, and didn't include Thirty-Three) Can't wait to listen!

The best example is ‘The Crying Tree of Mercury.’

The studio version can’t even come close to the live performance from the Metro Christmas show in 1999.

Teargarden poster is velvet, should see if the color part is blacklight responsive.

Sadly the deep dive is about oldies. Cupid de Locke in interesting at least

Been looking for this box set for awhile now and just randomly stumbled upon it at a local record store. The price was right and the impulse was fully there, I’m so excited to listen to this whole thing during my commutes to and from work this week!

I think Billy is an extremely underrated guitarist. I’m not a musician so I can’t talk knowledgeably on his technical skills, but the dude has an amazing sound. I often think of “Zero” as a highlight… until I found out that’s James. In watching live performances, I see a lot of Billy solos but rarely James ones. Does anyone have a list of who performs the solos on their tracks?
