What a great time to be covering songs. As reported from theprp, MCR debuted their cover of The Smashing Pumpkins‘ 1995 gold-certified hit song “Bullet With Butterfly Wings” during their July 19, 2025, performance at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California. The Smashing Pumpkins‘ hometown of Chicago, Illinois, hosted the Emo Rock Champions on August 30th at Soldier Field. The group performed that cover once more, but this time it ended the evening with a cameo from Billy Corgan, the guitarist and singer of The Smashing Pumpkins. Below is fan-shot video of that that has since been circulated online.
