{{Social media/Instagram|Happy birthday to the one and only Butch Vig! He worked with SP on Gish, Siamese Dream, songs from Pisces Iscariot, "Drown", and 1990's "Tristessa".


In 1990 SP was trying to find a producer for the Sub-Pop release of "Tristessa". The band was impressed by the kick drum sound of another Vig-produced record, and this influenced them to pursue recording with him. When they all first in Vig's Smart Studios, Vig said he thought they looked super cool as a band but were "totally a bunch of freaks." Jimmy Chamberlin has historically jokingly referred to Vig as "The Butchster".

In the Gish sessions, Vig was known for pushing SP to perfection. SP had not experienced the pressure of working with a professional producer before. Corgan explained his frustration behind recording "Rhinoceros", where Vig insisted he re-record the "she knows" lyric for hours on end until it met Vig's liking. Vig was still a relatively unknown producer, and enjoyed the longer recording period and larger budget that came with Gish. He later recalled, "[Corgan] wanted to make everything sound amazing … For me that was a godsend … I was over the moon to think I had found a comrade-in-arms who wanted to push me, and who really wanted me to push him."
