All the way from Montreal, Canada, the first lady of the bass guitar, the red vixen herself, Miss Melissa Auf der Maur. Thank you for that exciting accompaniment, Mike. And now, the bruiser, the cruiser, from Joliet, Illinois, on the drums, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin! A hell of a guitar player too. Now on acoustic guitar up there. And now on crazy sounds, lead vocals, guitar, sonic destruction, Mr. Billy Corgan!
