"The End Is the Beginning Is the End" is a Grammy Award-winning song by American alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins. It is the first full-band song released as a single by the Smashing Pumpkins in the aftermath of their 1995 album, ''Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness''. It is their first release with drummer Matt Walker, who later drummed on several tracks of ''Adore'' and all of James Iha's ''Let It Come Down''. ==Song== Frontman Billy Corgan said of the song, He further commented that the song's lyrics were meant to represent the Batman of the 1940s, when he was a "darker character".〔"()". SmashingPumpkins.com. 2008-07-19.〕 Many fans saw the new sound of "The End Is the Beginning Is the End", featuring a drum machine and added emphasis on the distorted guitars, as a taste of the sound of the next Smashing Pumpkins album, with Corgan himself saying the sound is "probably like what you would expect from us in the future."〔 However, the loud guitars of "The End Is the Beginning Is the End" are relatively nowhere to be found on the band's next album, ''Adore''. Despite its Grammy win and a strong promotion in conjunction with ''Batman & Robin'', "The End Is the Beginning Is the End" has not had a strong commercial legacy in the US. While it was well received by American rock radio, the song found particularly strong chart success in other countries, reaching the top ten of both the Australian and UK Singles Charts. The band performed the song live several times around its release in 1997, but never again. Since the single and video were released under Warner Bros. Records, the band was unable to use them for future releases, leaving them notably absent from their ''Greatest Hits'' DVD and CD releases. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The End Is the Beginning Is the End」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
