The Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (video collection)
Fourteen years ago this week: the Smashing Pumpkins released their third album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, on Virgin Records. For the first and only time in the band’s career, the epic multi-disc album debuted at number one on the Billboard Charts. The album earned the band seven Grammy Award nominations, and won best hard rock performance for “Bullet with Butterfly Wings”. Mellon Collie was intended to be a concept album symbolizing the cycle of life and death. As a whole, the album expanded the band’s repertoire by incorporating diverse musical styles, giving the band multiple dimensions. Upon its release, head Pumpkin Billy Corgan described the album as an interpretation of “the human condition of mortal sorrow”.
“Tonight, Tonight”
“Bullet with Butterfly Wings”

Why did you include a live video for Zero instead of the great music video version? And where is Thirty-three? Don’t mean to hate, but what’s the use of this?
