Glass and the Ghost Children

Glass and the Ghost Children is a song from The Smashing Pumpkins' fifth studio album, Machina/The Machines of God. This middle section of the album features various clips from "Le Deux Machina".

Machina served as a concept album in which "the band had become such cartoon characters at that point in the way we were portrayed in the media, the idea was that we would sort of go out and pretend we were the cartoon characters." From there, a story was conceived revolving around a rock star named Zero (based on the public persona of Billy Corgan) hearing the voice of God, renaming himself Glass, and renaming his band The Machines of God. Fans of the band were referred to as the "Ghost Children".

Equipment
A Gretsch Silver Jet with a Bigsby tremolo was used as Corgan's electric guitar in the studio recording, while James Iha likely used his Gibson SG.
