Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. The Smashing Pumpkins spent months in the studio tinkering with novel guitar tones to make Siamese Dream a reality. Tom, Rob, Adam, and a special guest get together to discuss unshielded pickups, jazzy bombastic drumming, and Butch Vig's "other" masterpiece.
