It's "Brutal Planet" from the Official Alice Cooper channel. Don't know why it might not appear, maybe its blocked for your country?

 

Here's a song from Marilyn Manson back when his voice still sounded enjoyable for me:

This is my favorite song of all time. I'm super glad they've started playing this one live. If I ever catch it live, I will cry like a baby.

So I listened to both Symbols and Angst. Not bad, but overall, I cannot say I particularly liked those albums nor do I feel like listening to them again.

Didn't know about live versions of this song. I'm going to check that out.

 

I always thought it was funny that someone did a level for Quake named after the song. I recall Doom mapping to this track.

Yeah, I believe they debuted it live in 2018 and played it like 4 times on that tour. This year, they've played it at about half their shows.

I really disliked Corgan's whine growing up in the 90's, but I find myself coming back to the Pumpkins so much. Plus the dude resurrected the NWA, so I think he's just plain rad these days.

I got into The Smashing Pumpkins way later than I could have. Like I knew of the band's existence for at least 10 years before actually sitting down to listen to a small selection of tracks by them. I was a Marilyn Manson fan back in 2009 and I was aware that for example both bands played together once. I also used to like My Chemical Romance a lot and was aware of the comparisons between Gerard Way and Billy Corgan due to their physical resemblance, and how Gerard Way admitted that Pumpkins were a huge influence for his band. Then there was also Nirvana which I still like and the story about how Courtney Love dated Billy once...I definitely heard about the Pumpkins a lot before I actually listened to any album by them. And its one thing that I regret very much, because I ended up liking them a lot.

 

The Deftones lead singer likes only Siamese Dream because of the way Butch Vig produced Billy's voice there, it sounded soothing for him unlike the other albums. I agree with him on Butch Vig's production, although I do love Mellon Collie.

Four tracks (Fra Mauro is the first one) meant to have been composed at the same time. Should they be mixed to be played simultaneously?

To my surprise, there was a track recorded for Roger WatersPink Floyd's The Final Cut that did not make it into the official release:

 

 

Speaking of The Final Cut, I now realize that it is essentially a sequel to The Wall mostly made of material that either was not used in the album or was composed specifically for the movie adaptation (namely "When The Tigers Broke Free"). I call it a sequel, because for the most part, it tells the story of the Teacher from The Wall. There is something quite poignant about the way the album manages to flesh out a previously unlikable character and in doing so make him come across as sympathetic - not by excusing his abusive behavior towards his students as depicted in The Wall, but rather by showing where his own anger and bitterness come from and how he too is made to suffer by post-war Britain's cruel and uncaring society.

 

I actually remember reading a little about The Final Cut, however I haven't listened to it. When I was still in high school I heard some news about Roger Waters being asked whether the Falkland Islands should be British or Argentine and him saying something about being ashamed of his country's colonial past and that the islands should be Argentine. Being from Argentina myself I can tell you that back when Roger shared his opinion on the subject it caused quite a hoopla, and I did some research and found out that he had already referenced the subject in a song from The Final Cut decades earlier.

 

Personally I don't share much his attitude because I don't see his country's past being something that should have a weight on his consciousness or anyone's. It's dead people's baggage. As for the Falklands, well, territorial disputes are always going to be a thing and my opinion about wars over them is cynical kind of like James Maynard Keenan singing "Monkey, killing monkey, killing monkey over pieces of the ground" in a Tool song. I might listen soon to The Final Cut to see what else is in there, funnily I listened to all of Pink Floyd's studio albums from 1967 until 1979 so I might as well listen to the other three or four albums I haven't heard yet.
