I got Mellon Collie for my 18th birthday, a couple of years after it was released, and it struck a chord with me like no album had before, the themes contained echoed my life so accurately I couldn’t stop playing it. I spent months learning to play my favourite songs on guitar and still play them now well into my 30’s. It’s helped me through some dark times and finally seeing The Smashing Pumpkins in 2018 and Billy solo in 2019 was amazing to hear some MCIS played live. Thanks for the memories!
