The Smashing Pumpkins - Gish (Pt. 3)

Are you going crazy, yet? We finish the Smashing Pumpkins' debut album by discussing the last three tracks, or four if you want to get technical. Then we make time for three extra tracks, including one that Nick said he'd trade for all of Gish. Austin breaks down two solos while also getting in a Guns N' Roses reference. Then they recap their favorite moments from Gish.

About the Podcast

Anyone Can Play Guitar

Learning every Radiohead song on guitar in order

Listen along as writers in Chicago and Switzerland learn to play songs from The Smashing Pumpkins on guitar. To prove they've put the time in, they're forcing themselves to record versions of each track to play for all to judge. Armed with this knowledge, they'll discuss each song, while simultaneously admitting to potentially embarrassing personal stories from more than 20 years of fandom.

In the first season, Nick and Austin learned every officially released Radiohead song. For season two, they are making their way through The Smashing Pumpkins from 1991 to 2000. While we'd love to learn every one of the band's songs on guitar, Billy Corgan is simply too prolific. We apologize.
