I don't know what people are talking about with criticizing his voice. It sounds super consistent with how he has always sounded. Love the guitar tone and overall performance.

Dude, he's gotten so jaded over the years. I dig it, this felt as honest as it could have been after playing this song for 30 years

Billy's singing is still as good as ever. His voice hasn't changed much. He still sounds good, is all I can say. Billy Cogan, you still rock, brother.

This is probably the best of all the solo acoustic covers I've watched him do. Totally captured the original vibe of the lyrics.

“I wanted more
than life could ever grant me.
Bored by the chore
of saving face.” Billy.

I think his voice aged like a fine wine for those who like the particular flavor! He always sounded different and by traditional standards, he may not be a "good singer" but i always liked his voice, it just works to me lol.

This is the internet, it opened the door to frustrated people who never achieved anything relevant in life and feel in the right to make idiotic criticisms of artists who marked an entire generation. Magnificent performance!

Great sound quality. Jesus, do you not have ONE audio engineer working

[Frostige]

I like my third cousin he is a epic musician

Billy did not start out with the Pumpkins as a very good singer at all. I mean, his voice was cool; I always loved it in a weird way, but technically he was NOT a “good” singer. Pretty sure he would agree with that.
He has obviously put in some serious work in that area during his career. He’s definitely flexing it here. I don’t think any vocalist would deny that this sounds like someone who’s done some real training and had a legit vocal practice routine for a while, outside of just singing with his band.

Love it how the guy who constantly whines about being asked to perform and reproduce only the 'hits' from the two albums some people still care for...just constantly plays those songs all these years later in radio/tv/podcast interviews anyway (and even names a world tour after the lyrics in one of those songs). It's almost like he's completely incapable of writing new material that would interest anyone...

This isn't even a good song. I do not see how this was any different to what 4 Non Blondes were doing in 1993.

Get old and lose the highs. Thats what happens.
