About The Smashing Pumpkins: 1979
Smashing Pumpkins performs in the music video "1979" from the album "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" recorded for Virgin Records. The music video opens with a group of children rolling another child in a large tire. Billy Corgan sings as he is driven in the backseat of a Dodge Charger. Clips of disaffected suburban teenage life play throughout.
Directed by Jonathan Dayton, Valerie Faris, The Smashing Pumpkins: 1979 leans on a strong ensemble — Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlin, James Iha — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 1996.
