Silverfuck

Caller: I just wanted to say that on the new '96 tour you've been playing a new version of Silvercrank, and it's amazing. And I was wondering where you got the idea for that.

Billy: That song's a funny song cause-well for those of you who don't know the song very well, he's referring to a song off of Siamese Dream. And the way we kinda came up with that song like, I kinda told the band what I wanted to try to do, but we never really wrote parts. We just kinda made it up as we went along and I kept changing it, and we kept remaking it, and I directed the band to go in different directions. And so the version of the song kept mutating until we finally recorded it in one particular guise, but then the song continued to evolve after we recorded it. Then we played it so many times, we got sick of that so we completely went at it in a totally different way, and we're on like our 4th completely different version. One thing I've thought of is one day putting out the 4 different versions of the song cause they're all so completely different. That song in particular has been an interesting experiment in never locking into one version.
