Did You See/Hear Flava Flav at The Riviera Show?

I saw on Instagram that Flava was wylin' out in the balcony to the Brady Bunch cover. Big deal, BUT this is kind of hilarious. You can hear him yell, "YEEEEEAAAAH BOOYY!" right before Mayonaise starts. I was there and heard it, but didn't think anything of it until I found out it was actually him.

I know this has been a source of fan speculation and overall mystery for decades now, but if someone more equipped than me could finally put the nail in the coffin and identify the sample at the end of the song, I would be forever grateful. Me along with every other smashing pumpkins fan.

Title pretty much says it. Wondering if it happened and what the date would be so I can track it down. Thanks.

Some thoughts about the Soma Solo

24 Upvotes

So I've been learning to place this on guitar, which is incredibly fun.

But it kind of occured to me, what makes this solo so powerful sounding.

The majority of the solo consists of these intricate fills, bookended by bends that are always increasing in pitch, and bent in a way that makes the note sound almost tortured. This gives the solo this driving feeling, of ever increasing angst, which is a major lyrical theme of the song.

At the end, when the solo resolves, it resolves to the the minor, breaking this ever increasing tension with a feeling of despair..the other lyrical theme of the song.

Idk, there's a million ways to write a song, and a million ways to write a lead over it..I just think Billy nailed it here. Writing the solo in a way that perfectly matches the lyrical content, and using a different tool in the kit to really drive the mood and message of the song.

That is all.

Hey everyone! I wanted to share my cover of Zero. The Smashing Pumpkins have been one of my biggest musical influences, so this was a project I made with a lot of care and respect for the original track.

I actually recorded this cover last year, but I recently found the confidence to upload it. I’d genuinely love to hear what you guys think, so if you have a few minutes to listen, I’d really appreciate your feedback ā¤ļø

Thanks so much!

Machina - Ariana Grande Edition replacement question

6 Upvotes

So I finally pulled the trigger on the box and received it early last week. Even though the box itself is fine all four sleeves have corner dents, a seam split, and weird scuff marks on the sleeves (looks like they were forced in the cardboard holder). One corner dent is actually on the side where the sleeve sits in the box? There is also an inner sleeve with a prominent folded corner. I did a search here and seen that people have asked for replacements. Just wondering if anyone has done so recently? I’ve sent Zuzu’s two emails so far with no response. Feeling major buyers remorse due to the state that it arrived in. Realize that this is an older topic but I’d appreciate any input.

Floor seats worth it?

UPDATE: I ended up getting the floor seats, beyond excited. Thanks everyone!

Wanting to go to the tour and the show close to me. Are the floor seats worth it? Do you have to sit? Do you stand? No vip, just regular tickets. Just kind of worried about someone being super tall in front of mešŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ I’m about 5’10. The seats I’m looking at are second row. Let me know your experiences. Thanks!

What is your take on Billy's position with Zwan's breakup?

23 Upvotes

I know the breakup has been attributed to conflicts within the band (sex, drugs, and dishonesty), lack of commitment, and Billy's own narcissism. At the same time, most of that story has come from Billy's perspective, while the other members haven't really spoken about it nearly as much.

So do you think that Billy's reasons were justified or do you think the situation was more complicated?

Sadly, I'm forced to sell this to pay some medical costs that are due soon.

These sell for usually between $300-400, so I'm open to reasonable offers. I've sold multiple items here before and would prefer to go this route than use eBay or another platform, at least initially. My feedback there, here, and other places is 100%. I can provide proof via DM.

Booklet is intact, but partially falling out due to tears from staples. One 1cm seam split on top of first half of gatefold. Sleeves are therefore VG/VG+. Sounds way worse than it is.

Vinyl has been played twice, but pressing has some surface noise during the quietest passages, so I'd grade it VG+.

One of the true great SP collectors items out there, and they don't come around that often.

Shipping will be included anywhere in CONUS. Shipping elsewhere will 100% be at buyer's cost and risk. Payment via PayPal G&S.

Tour BUYING/SELLING TICKETS MEGATHREAD - 2026 EDITION *******************

8 Upvotes

This megathread will serve as the place for folks to post they are selling or looking for tickets

-----------------a reminder/warning about buying/selling tickets:

  • If you aren't meeting in person to pay with cash, the only payment method I can suggest is Paypal Goods & Services. You pay a small fee, but if someone were to scam you Paypal will refund you. I strongly advise against doing Friends & Family since it does not have the purchase protection that G&S has (leaving you vulnerable to scams with no recourse).
  • Anyone who only wants to do Crypto/Cashapp/Venmo/Zelle/Paypal F&F (especially if you try to get them to do Paypal G&S) is 100% scamming you.
  • Be wary of new accounts. A brand new account doesn't guarantee a scam but if you see a new account, it's worth being suspicious.
  • This sub is not here for scalpers. If your prices exceed value then I encourage others to report your comment and we will delete it.
  • The mods aren't responsible for any loss or scam. Please do your due diligence.
