Cool track! Not surprising as the band knew that having influences was a strength rather than a burden. They carried their influences proudly!
Here's some connections with Black Sabbath!

Smashing Pumpkins/Black Sabbath Connection



Here's a quote from Wikipedia about the love for the band and metal in general:

"Corgan in particular was open about his appreciation of heavy metal, citing Dimebag Darrell of Pantera as his favorite contemporary guitarist.[40][94] When one interviewer commented to Corgan and Iha that "Smashing Pumpkins is one of the groups that relegitimized heavy metal" and that they "were among the first alternative rockers to mention people like Ozzy and Black Sabbath with anything other than contempt", Corgan went on to rave about Black Sabbath's Master of Reality and Judas Priest's Unleashed in the East."

Here's the Smashing Pumpkins covering "Iron Man"!

This shirt design off the Zeitgeist album seems like something Sabbath would dig!
