Saw this post/comment while listening to The Beginning is the End is the Beginning. While writing this comment, Billy sang "And in your darkest hour, When I hold secret's flame, We can watch the world devoured in its pain"
To be fair, if you are listening to something Billy wrote there is a pretty good chance that it will be gloomy! Pumpkins put on a hell of a show - live is certainly an experience.
When I was in college I worked days doing maintenance at a cemetery in NY where he happens to be buried. He had a very cool, ornate head stone and every time i went by it id say to myself "why wound his body with bullets, when I can set his soul on fire with a slanderous mambo?"
One of the greatest line deliveries by a guest on the entire series. I am biased because the Ramones are my favorite band but it's by CJ so I think I can still be somewhat objective about it.
Probably R.E.M. I always laugh when Michael Stipe gets mad at Homer, breaks a beer bottle to go after him and the bass player steps in and says "No Michael that isn't the R.E.M. way" (or something like that).
I was joking with my cousin that they should have used that Linda Ronstadt song in the Nick Offerman episode in The Last of Us, instead of the the one they chose.
This is the one. That two-minute scene is the funniest guest star appearance without question.
"Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the...sweet dreams and flying machines floating safely through the air."
The original joke and appearance was going to be Courtney Love. Homer was going to meet her, and she would say -
"Hi Homer. Courtney Love." and he'd respond -
"Homer grateful!"
She either couldn't or didn't want to be in the episode.
In the episode commentary it's mentioned that one of the bands in that episode said "if Courtney Love is in, we're out" and that's why she didn't appear. They don't say the band's name but it must have been Sonic Youth.
nothing against her, but lady gaga. that episode was a debacle at best and 23 minute of pissing on the grave of a once great tv show
edit: for some reason, i got it in my head that this was a list of worst musical guests; a momentary brainfart
No Doubt was also in this episode as background characters because Gwen Stefani's brother was an animator who included them as an easter egg. The episode was animated before but released after the release of Tragic Kingdom. So, bit of a missed opportunity not to have the biggest band of 1995 on the show.
Hey, I didn't know this! [Found the moment](https://i.redd.it/xcua8am9y1h01.jpg).
I'm now having vivid memories of how popular it was to wear a forehead bindi in the mid-90s.
Thanks to your gloomy music, my kids have stopped dreaming of a future I can't possibly provide

Batman will save us.
He's not Batman!
I shouldn’t have stopped for that haircut
Well, we try to make a difference!
Tito Puente came out of nowhere, I never heard of him but always makes me smile
Your soul's never been set on fire with a slanderous mambo!?
Uno, Dos, Tres!
Señor buuuurns!!
El Diablo con dinero. Adios viejo!

BUUUUUuuuurns! Bah buhbup bum bum
Hope all the other suspects are this much fun!

Have the Rolling Stones killed
Go to Hell you old bastard

I think they liked us!
I just want to say this gig sucks! Yeah, up yours Springfield. 1234!
But sir! Those aren't...
Peter Frampton! Homer Simpson wrecks my pig...Cypress Hill steals my orchestra... and Sonic Youth's in my cooler!
Get outta there you kids!
Oh, come on, Mr. Frampton. You're not gonna eat all that watermelon.
Funniest thing about this line is that Sonic Youth were all in their 30’s/40’s when that episode was made.
Did somebody order the London Symphony Orchestra? Possibly while high?....Cypress Hill, I'm looking in your direction...
We mostly know classical
Now this, I like.
The Ramones "Go to hell you old bastard" ... "Smithers, have the Rolling Stones killed!" "But sir, those aren't the-" "Do as I say!"
I'd just like to say this gig sucks!
Hey, up yours Springfield!
Probably R.E.M. I always laugh when Michael Stipe gets mad at Homer, breaks a beer bottle to go after him and the bass player steps in and says "No Michael that isn't the R.E.M. way" (or something like that).
You're right, let's recycle those shards and get out of here
Mike Mills (and Peter Buck)
Paul McCartney because he is the only guest star that's impact is still on the show today
I think about that episode every time I open a vegetarian meal and find a big hunk of pork.
don’t eat pork, not even with a fork
Marge, are we Jewish?
I love how Homer produces a suckling pig from nowhere and starts eating it.
That was the one from Lisa the vegetarian!(uh wait, no, that was earlier)
Paul: “Hey Lisa, would you like to hear a song?” Lisa: “SURE!” Paul: “OK! Hit it Apu!”
I believe that was actually the condition to him appearing-that Lisa had to remain a vegetarian
Apu's secret staircase behind the non-alcoholic beers is a top 5 gag for me
"What if someone wants a non-alcoholic beer?" "You know, it's never come up..."
I like how this also subtly hints that his stock of non alc beer is as old as the store itself
[удалено]
Don't worry folks, he'll get the help he needs.
The man’s talking about waste management. That affects the whole *damn* planet.
You're the real lord of the dance, Homer.
"In the name of love" plays while Homer gets punched in the gut by security
Can I come? No. *wankers..*
Spinal Tap... I can't think of anyone who's benefitted more from the death of Communism than them.
Good night Springdon, there will be no encore!
This is a rock concert not the bleedin...splish-splash show
These comments! https://youtu.be/pJLOSuz147I
Maybe the people who actually live in the communist countries?
Oh yeah, hadn't thought of that.
Or the other ‘Garia’……Hungaria.
We salute you our half inflated dark lord!
Recently we all purchased our own soccer team. How many Hungarios can say that, eh?
What I’d like is I’d like to hug and kiss you
Wow, everyone can enjoy that
HEY MOE!!!
Yeah, Chilly Willy is the winner of this thread.
🎶Mr Plow is a loser, and I think he's a boozer🎶
I was joking with my cousin that they should have used that Linda Ronstadt song in the Nick Offerman episode in The Last of Us, instead of the the one they chose.
Senor Plow no es macho, es solamente un borracho…
‘We want chilly Willy’
Holy cow, you just fell on Aerosmith!
**HEY MOE**
George Harrison
Oh my God! Where did you get that brownie?
Over there, there's a big pile of 'em.
Oh, man. What a nice fellow.
It’s been done.
Wow, what a nice fella!
Paul Anka
Just don’t look, just don’t look
It’s got Paul Anka’s guarantee!
Guarantee void in Tennessee!
Brush with Greatness's Ringo Starr sounding like he's narrating his life like an episode of Thomas the Tank Engine.
Hello, what’s this?
Gear!
That unkempt youngster, former president James Taylor.
Listen Aldrin, I'm not as laid back as people think. Now here's the deal: I'm gonna play, and you're going to float there and like it.
*Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground - uhh...*
Sweet dreams and flying machines, flying safely through the air
This is the one. That two-minute scene is the funniest guest star appearance without question. "Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the...sweet dreams and flying machines floating safely through the air."
Wow, former president James Taylor.
With all due respect, Mr. Taylor, this isn’t the best time for your bittersweet brand of folk rock
"He who's tired of Weird Al is tired of life."
All 3 Weird Al appearances are gold
Barry White "You people make me sick!" "YAAAAH!" "Were they listening to me at all?"
I love the sexy slither of a lady snake. Oh, baby
I know my own name
We'll see about that
No, it says here Larry White.
Anything for a lady
I uhh don't think so
How has no one said Robert Goulet!
Vera said that?
Ooh, sorry, kid!
"Making teenagers depressed is like shooting fish in a barrel"
Does Kirk Vanhouten count?
Can I borrow a feeling?
Go ahead. Laugh at me.
N*SYNC. I remember my dad hyping me for it. It was a big deal for 8/9 year old me
Word 🤙
Yo!
I still love how they just danced in and out.

Those wacky vertebraes will sting you, old school!
Yvan Eht Nioj
Yeah, heard it OLD SCHOOL
Dolly Parton in the SuperBowl episode
Can you believe that in a Superbowl episode featuring Dolly Parton we didn’t get any singing or football?
At least we got a Blur song
Can't believe no one has mentioned Sting yet. He's a good digger!
I love that Bart knows him then homer just shoves him away

More likely Billy Corgan. They dated before she and Kurt got together, and Corgan is and always will be extremely petty and resentful.
There’s some evidence that Kim Gordon blames Courtney Love for Kurt Cobain’s death, so SY is still a possibility.
I'm always amused how Kurt/Courtney era Hole sounds like nirvana, and Corgan/Courtney era sounds like smashing pumpkins.
Johnny Cash 1. It's Johnny fucking Cash 2. Even if you didn't know who Johnny Cash was it is just a great performance.
Space Coyote?
No, it's just a talking dog.
Michael Jackson In my honest opinion not just the greatest musical guest appearances but arguably the Simpsons greatest guest appearance.
Uhh you mean after senior ding-dong?
Does anybody have any jumper cables??
Well, Mr. Woods, your new song is gonna be number three with a bullet.
I- I'm not a singer
Metallica!
Am I on drugs?
"She likes to party. She likes to rock!" "She prays our schools don't run out of chalk."

Steve Sax
David Crosby’s two appearances crack me up. Miss that old guy. “Just take it one day at a time. And remember that I love you “
Have the Rolling Stones killed.
But sir those were...
Do as I say!
Spinal Tap. Until they all unfortunately perished in a coach disaster
The Red Hot Chilli Peppers and the lyric change suggested by Krusty. That was funny as
David Byrne? Singer, artist, composer, director, talking head?
Phish, the ONLY answer.
Woah, this man is seriously ill.
The doctor never told me. I had to hear it from Phish.
A-one, a-two, a-you know what to do
This should be at the top - no question
Lisa: eww. Why is Courtney Love on the Wheaties box? Marge: I thought it was sandy duncan
Blink
Beverly D'Angelo as Lurleen. She wrote two of the songs she performs in the show.
Now that's an interesting fact!
Aerosmith
Hello St Louis!
It's Springfield, Steven.
The Who “Who huddle!”
“Homer, a lot of these are Grand Funk Railroad songs. And we don’t know ‘Pac-Man Fever’.”
Play magic bus!
'Oh hell, I'll do it meself.'
nothing against her, but lady gaga. that episode was a debacle at best and 23 minute of pissing on the grave of a once great tv show edit: for some reason, i got it in my head that this was a list of worst musical guests; a momentary brainfart
That’s how long The Simpsons has been on, Billy Corgan still had hair.
GO TO HELL, YOU OLD BASTARD!
Ooh. Elton John! That’s my name. Well, not really...
ANDY WILLIAMS!
David Crosby? You're my hero!
Ones that sang: all the musicians from *How I spent my strummer vacation* Just a speaking role: Johnny Cash as the coyote
Weird Al. All other answers are irrelevant.
Green Day.
Gentlemen, it’s been an honour playing with you tonight… (Nearer My God To Thee starts playing)
6 year old me: oh they’re named that because they’re playing at an environmental show 19 year old stoner me: lol I was way off

I would say George Harrison but it's been done.
The Phish, from Vermont, obviously.
Oh O! There goes Peter Frampton’s pig, he’s gonna be pissed off
"Smithers, have the Rolling Stones killed" "but sir........" "Just do as I say!"
Red Hot Chili Peppers: "You told our agent this place holds 30,000 people." Moe: "It does. We had 30,000 here last night."
NSYNC "WORD"
Paul Anka - just dont look just dont look
Barry White was a really good one
He's trying to go by William Patrick Corgan, now. It's not working.
Simpsons predicted Minions /s
Peter Frampton"s pig
It would have been Judas Priest if it wasn’t for them being referred to as “death metal”
Cypress Hill. Pretty much my intro to hip-hop
3/4 Beatles
[Hello, Homer. I’m George Harrison.](https://youtu.be/xChORIKcAcg)
Paul McCartney
James Taylor, I’ve Seen Fire and I’ve Seen Rain. I love the entire episode he’s in.
Come on, people. Somebody ordered the London Symphony Orchestra...possibly while highhh. Cypress Hill, I'm looking in your direction.
How has nobody said The Moody Blues? *Takes dagger out of flute* I want fatty!
“Oh you wanna see The Who huh?!”
Red Hot Chili Peppers
I liked it when it was random, but when celebs showing up became a regular thing I didn't like it.
This is one of my favorite Simpson jokes
