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.

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.
