The Smashing Pumpkins

In August 2018, when The Smashing Pumpkins delivered their electrifying live rendition of "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, they were in the midst of an exciting revival. This performance was part of their "Shiny and Oh So Bright Tour," promoting their album "Shiny and Oh So Bright, Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun," which had been released just that same year. When Billy Corgan and the crew reassembled emblematic members James Iha and Jimmy Chamberlin for this tour, fans were ecstatic, harkening back to the band's heyday in the '90s. The blend of nostalgia and fresh energy was palpable in the air. Interestingly, "Bullet with Butterfly Wings," a track from their critically acclaimed 1995 album "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness," has proven to be a timeless anthem, still resonating deeply with audiences as evidenced by the enthusiastic reception it received during this live show.
