Smashing Pumpkins

[Machina2]

Mellon Collie and the infinate sadness was in a class of it's own

[Thessi]

i think the whole band was!!!
some people are irritated by billy's voice but i love it! and they have their unique guitar sound that screams out pumpkins!! their last two albums were a bit of a letdown to me, but all the others are so brill that they make up for it.

[Ernest]

1979 still makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.... awsome

[slave2thewage]

RIP dear Pumpkins. All of their albums are true classics. Plus I love the acoustic version of Luna, it's beautiful.

Erm...who did this cover? :confused: *confused*

[DomsDrumstick]

i wub smashing pumpkins and the siamese dream era. Got all the studio albums and wub each and every one of them

[windowpain]

smashing pumpkins are the best band ever, the songs, the videos. it's all amazing.


I have spent most nights for the past 6 years being taken away by billy to a better place

[Spiral]

Erm...who did this cover? :confused: *confused*

Frida Snell from Sweden! Aww I love Swedish music!! *listens to Laakso*

[wasted_millions]

siamese dream is my favourite album by them.... I had a shite year when I was in about grade 8 and rediscovered that album and I think I probably listened to it everyday... mayonaise still makes me shiver.

And Zero.... that is the shit. :D :cool:

[Machina2]

The Pumpkins were in a class of their own...Best band in history...I miss them more than anything!!!Adore and machina may have let alot of people down, but the heart and soul of the band were always there!! the downloadable machina 2 album is bloody brilliant tho...it's like an up-to-date version of mellon collie. some of their underground stuff is like nothin i've ever heard...by the way...Billy Corgan is going solo...http://www.billycorgan.com

[Machina2]

oh yeah...and there is a covered version of bullet with butterfly wings...there's a whole tribute album...ive seen it around, but it's never interrested me cos none of the pumpkins songs will ever sound as good....thru the eyes of ruby...what a song!!!

[Sapphire]

Billy Corgan is going solo...http://www.billycorgan.com

Ooh yeah I just read that, 19th april in chicago ggrrr lucky chicago people

[Nancuk]

siamese dream is a work of art..soma. one of my favorite songs ever.

[windowpain]

siamese dream is a work of art..soma. one of my favorite songs ever.

another soma fan, i used to listen to it ever night before i went to bed, it was the best thing i had ever heard until i got into porcelina of the vast oceans. And also what about blank page. amazing

[Thessi]

...thru the eyes of ruby...what a song!!!
oh yay!! i love it. :D
does anyone else like pisces iscariot? everyone i know says it's pants but i love it!

[klothkat]

Me, I prefer *Adore*, for personal reasons many of the songs relate to my circumstances at the time......

But Soma, Mayonaise and Disarm are superb also. :)

[spiteface]

mmmm this thread is my speciality, ive liked the pumpkins for 7 years...ever since i saw tonite tonite....i love the pumpkins because they were bold and original, and ridiculous and brilliant, melodic and distorted heavy and light and stood out like a sore thumb in the shitty music scene crumbling around them..billy corgan is a gem of a song writer, about 700 songs including unreleased material, but no matter wether it was commercial or a bside, bootleg or demo, the pumpkins put their souls into the records like possesed, fixed creatures who were in love with music and didnt care about the many people who wrote them off over the years...they released 8 beautiful commercial records, adore and machina being my favourites and have a lasting imprint on the pages of music industry, and my heart...i learned what good music is from them and now that they are gone i pass my love for them to another band who have captured my heart, a band who not suprisingly are very much influenced by the days they would meet after school and smoke and listen to the pumpkins... a band who i think have taken the muscial ideas of the pumpkins and others and stretched the beautifully to a higher dimension, MUSE -god i do love this band...but bring on billy's solo album!

[DomsDrumstick]

Done and done

All I have are a few vid clips of them live

[magister]

The Pumpkins were my favourite band in my formative music years, largely due to Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness. However, as the years roll by I find myself taking to their more eclectic songs, which basically means that Gish, Pisces Iscariot & Adore have all gone up in my estimations. I think the fact they are so multi-faceted is one of the primary reasons why they have the following they do. There are few bands that have written such a diversity of material, take the disparity between the full-on epic space jam of Starla and the quiet, ethereal beauty of To Sheila as a good example. Music, for me at least (but for everyone else as well I'd wager), is about expressing emotions in creative, beautiful and interesting ways, something the Pumpkins did in spades.

[andrzej]

omg i fucking love the smashing pumpkins!!!

Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie... are awesome, I like the really epic ones like Soma, Porcelina and Thru the eyes of ruby...didnt think much of machina though- kinda soulless...

What did everybody think of Zwan? I think im in the minority but I loved MSOTS- BABY LETS ROCK!!!

[%% Rich Student %%]

muse also said that they really liked sp and nirvana....sad sadly they broke up.got all records,been to 2 concerts,know all videos...sp break up was 2nd worse thing in my life since girlfriend broke up...uuhhhwwaa :'( :'(

[Bee]

sorry i know im bumping an old thread, but meh
the pumpkins were and are my favourite band :D :D :D whooooooooo

[LittleMUSEalieN]

woo :D i love the pumpkins!!! although the first time i heard Billy's voice was a bit of a turn off for some reason haha :rolleyes: .. wasnt too into that.. but then i forced myself to listen to 1 whole album and it worked!!! i fell in love with um!!! :D such a shame they've split../ i was quite a newbie at the time :'(

[jaja]

i still think smashing is one of the best bands, my favourite has to be disarm, what a beautiful track :D

[Eternally Missed]

Billy, the world needs your songs!!! You're so fucking great!!!
If I finally met him and get his autograph (difficult 'cause I live miles away from Chicago) I will be the happiest girl in the world.

[Glamey Glamay]

BC's new acoustic thing is coming out around Christmas, he's in the studio now...expect it to be good (and very religous)
God Bless King Billy!!!

[Glamey Glamay]

some great songs...el sol...lyric...i liked the album...but wasnt like sp...unfortunately
Personally I thought Zwan was great some seriuosly brilliant songs the Pumpkins never had a song like Jesus I/Mary Star of the sea
I was listening to Yeah! yesterday that song rocks...
River we can't cross is my fav tho...

[axxe chikka]

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I'm just now getting into this band and wanted to know the best album to buy? I know they have a greatest hits out, is that any good?

[Sapphire]

The greatest hits is definitely worth buying, I think :D You get all the classic songs, it's really good

And mmmm it depends really, I'd say download a few songs from different albums and see which ones you like best... Quoting my boyfriend I'd say buy Siamese dream because "it's the best album ever" hehehe

[Noodles]

*Corgan test*
Sapphire...do you even fancy Billy in the Ava Adore vid?

[Eternally Missed]

If you really want to get into this band you must buy "Siamese Dream" and "Mellon Collie and the infinite Sadness".

[Sapphire]

*Corgan test*
Sapphire...do you even fancy Billy in the Ava Adore vid?

Hell yes! that's the hottest video of Billy
He looks so dirty and sexy, gotta love that red make up

[theimpressiveclergyman]

Considering getting Siamese Dream, as I need some new albums to listen to. I presume you would all encourage this. :LOL:

[Sapphire]

Definitely!!

[Noodles]

You must be kidding, thats scary Uncle Fester Billy! :LOL: ...and the Iha, terrifying as usual, he just ....stares! :'( :eek:

[Sapphire]

He *might* look a bit scary, but he still looks hot to me
Maybe I'm just strange :p

http://www.my-mistake.net/infinitepics/vidstills/ava049.jpg

Have you ever noticed how huge his hands are
http://www.my-mistake.net/infinitepics/vidstills/ava005.jpg

[DomsDrumstick]

All their albums are unique and extremely good. I watched the documentary (again) lastnight and I was shocked to hear Billy say how critics panned Adore. This is them wanting you to like the same mindless shite over and over again. Billy grew creatively and the public didn't want him to because most were being small minded

its such a shame that most of the public couldn't accept that Billy was being creatively as good as any previous albums

bastards

[theimpressiveclergyman]

I'm confused- did Billy lose his hair or start shaving it off? You may laugh if you wish- I missed most of the nineties in the musically-ignorant blur that was my childhood. :D

[andrzej]

It was a bit of both- if you look at the video to Bullet with Butterfly Wings, you'll see that his hair was recding pretty badly, so he cut his losses and shaved it off. It my opinion, he then lost his powers much like Samson.

[theimpressiveclergyman]

Ah, thank you. That clears everything up.

[Eternally Missed]

Just a question... anybody has a picture of the "Pisces Iscariot" vinyl? My bf and I were told that the cover isn't the same as the CD one (and if I'm not wrong in the Aeroplane box-set also says that the artwork is different)... and as we're looking for this vinyl to complete our SP vinyl abum's collection it would be of a great help if we know how the cover is... just in case we would see it somewhere.

And with this post I put this thread where it deserves to be... in the front page... :D

[Eternally Missed]

Oh... shit... I forgot the power of google :LOL: ... here's the vinyl cover

Pisces Iscariot (http://landslide.2007.org/omnipedia/piscesvinylus.htm)

Btw... what the hell is that... :eek: ???

[LittleMUSEalieN]

just came to say SMASHING PUMPKINS!!! HELL YEAH LOVE UM!! :D

lol :D looks like a hand pulling on something... what tho? i dont know!!!
and looks like its been covered in yellow gloop :happy:
i had this weird dream.. lol i dont know how it started but near the end i started dreaming about this imaginary toothpaste advert and it was dark blue everywhere and then u saw these big flashing pale blue letters aproaching like made out of stars and it read porcelina :D then u heard the song in the background and this lady advertising the toothpaste :LOL: werid..
lol thats when i woke up and turned on the song :happy:

o and for u big fans (as im catching up) What was the fuss about with them and Sharon Osbourne?? and What with her moaning about them wearing dresses? :LOL:

[andrzej]

She was the manager for a while, but very soon quit saying something like,

"I quit for medical reasons- Billy Corgan makes me sick!"

Sadly, as much of a genius as he is, Billy is just a bit of an arsehole- almost everyone who meets him becomes his enemy.....

[Annette]

i totally love them!!!

i bought mellon collie when i went to croatia....
ive been missing out all these years!! :'(

i cant describe what it is..but they seem to be at a totally different level then any other band i know.

[Apocalypse King]

Smashing Pumpkins rock!! Mellon Collie and the Infinite sadness is one of the best albums ever!

gotta order it now

[theimpressiveclergyman]

I got a Best Of in Germany. There's really no point getting Siamese Dream now though, is there?

[andrzej]

Does the best of include Soma, Geek USA or Mayonaise? If not then I strongly reccomend you buy Siamese Dream :)

[theimpressiveclergyman]

Alright then. *re-adds to wishlist*

[LittleMUSEalieN]

yup id deffiitely get it its great :D and u never know which songs ull like better.. the ones u do or dont know.

anyways i was wondering if anybody has the video of "the everlasting gaze" and wouldnt mind sending it to me over msn?? id be very gratefull :happy: cant find it anywhere on sites and my soulseek isnt working :(

[Judgepickles]

The Pumpkins are simply awesome. Like Muse they combine perfect tunes with perfect lyrics. I went to their one and only concert in adelaide in 1996, and really only got into them in 95, I still listen to them all the time, and Zwan as well, which just seem like a happier version of SP. I only recently got hold of the Live at fox theatre, which is basically adore, and it is awesome, blank page is unbelievable live.
To go through some of my personal favourties, which there are heaps and heaps in chronological order: Snail, My Daydream, Mayonaise, Soma, Silverfuck, Starla, Soothe, Zero, Muzzle, Porcelina, Where Boys Fear to Tread, Bodies, Thru the eyes of Ruby, By Starlight, The Aeroplane flies high (turns left, looks right), Set the Ray to Jerry, Pennies., Blank Page, For Martha, Behold! the Night Mare, Stand inside your love, I of the mourning, Glass and the ghost children.

Well that list is clearly to long, if you like SP, you will buy all the albums in the end anyway, but Siamese is probably the place to start, because of tunes like Today, cherub Rock and Disarm.

Thank god Muse has been able to step up and take over from where SP left off.

[LittleMUSEalieN]

Thank god Muse has been able to step up and take over from where SP left off.

indeeedy!! so true!!! *starts to weep dramatically :LOL:*
ooh ooh!!! u saw them live *jealousy spreads the thread*
so cool!!! how was it? dumb question i bet?? ive got the vieuphoria dvd (havent got a lot of live vids yet) and it looks awesome!!! wish i couldve gone :(

[Judgepickles]

The mellon collie concert was amazing, I had not been to many concerts previously at that time, and it was just the most powerful 2 hours of my life at that time. Since then, and a lot of concerts later, their performance is still in right up there in my favourites. Billy actually seemed to be in a pretty shit mood..but it almost made the songs better I think.

[moment41]

Reading reviews a while ago, the Pumpkins seemed like the perfect band for me, so I bought Gish and Adore, but never really got into them as much as I perhaps should have.

Corgan's voice just grinds on me and detracts from the music, and it seems a shame to miss out on a great band just because of the vocals. Did he ever let another band member take lead vocals on any track?

yeh he did in a couple.. it was James.. right?? i cant remmber which songs tho ill post ack when i think of them, take me down was one of them.
But i had what you have now with Billy's voice.. tho ive gotten used to it now, and i love it :D maybe you should try mellon collie.

Heh... I was tempted to get it the day I bought Gish and Adore, but Virgin were charging £25 for it while Gish and Adore were on the 2 for £22 offer. Bargain :indifferent:.

Will go download Take Me Down, thanks.

[Judgepickles]

James Iha sings in a few songs:
Take me down, Farewell and goodnight, Believe, The Bells, A night like this, said sadly the last 4 being b-sides

Darcy sings in Daydream,which I think is a really cool song

They both sing in said sadly.

There are probably more, but those are the ones I can think of. Iha has his own Cd's as well.

[LittleMUSEalieN]

yup those are the ones i couldnt think of lol :D
ive heard that about Jamse's own stuff.. is it good??? havent heard anything yet.

[Niffil]

James also sings on 'The Boy' in the 1979 single b-sides.

Wow, thank you for making me listen to SP right now!
I think Siamese Dream is the best album ever. Every single song on it is great! And Mayonaise beats 'em all. Great song. That always gives me the creeps. I love it. And it's so true. In every circumstance it is true. I don't quite know, what it's about, but it makes me feel like it is right and that's what makes it even the best song in the world for me.

Thank god that I was at the farewell-tour. I was real close to not going because noone would go with me. I'd bite my own ass.



----fool enough to almost be it, cool enough to not quite see it, doomed----

[BalthaZaR]

I consider The Smashing Pumpkins to be one of the greatest bands of all time, despite the fact that I love Muse. They have inspired so many bands.

They were as big as nirvana. Some say that if Billy Corgan had blown HIS brains out, The SP would have been a lot more famous than Nirvana. :happy:

Also, to those who question the greatness of The SP, ask Matt what he thinks of them. Matt said in a TripleJ interview, that Soma, by the Pumpkins, was a huge influence on him when he was trying to form a band. :cool:

Long live the Pumpkins, they wrapped their wire around my heart and my mind. I'm their's forever now.

(Go Tool and APC also)

[Miss Blee]

There's already a Smashing Pumpkins topic here. (http://67.19.90.242/showthread.php?t=614)

Please use search before making a new topic, thanks.

[BalthaZaR]

I own every single one of The Smashing Pumpkins' albums. I also have 4 rare Vinylls. They have been my favourite band for 6 years, and Gish is some of the best music I have ever heard. Window Paine... Snail all so freaking awesome... It's amazing to find out how many people support them, I thought I was an oddity.

I also have massive poster in my room wit Billy in the gish era, GO THE LONG HAIR (poor Jimmy... everyone cut their long hair off :'( Lol ! )

[BalthaZaR]

also, I went to see A Perfect Circle when they came to perth, just so i could see James. At the end of the show he came to the railing where me and my mate were (I was in my Zero(Star) shirt, and he was wearing a shirt with Bugg's photo on it ! ) he heard us yelling "Bugg Superstar" and he laughed at us, and waved at us two, and walked off. My mate like... fainted. I was in shock.

During the concert, Maynard James let him play a song from his own album... I didn't find out the name. It was awesome... I heard James sing :D

[Fanatic]

Not a huge fan of them but I do like their music, i've been looking for any of their albums but I can't seem to find any.. :unsure:

[Niffil]

OMG!!!! The SPAA is back on-line (RSPAA (http://rspaa.niluje.net))! It's just a small part of it on the server now, but whatever! This will take some time for me now... the NSPAA closed about the time I found it so I only started to get through it.

Btw. is there a similar Muse-related site? If so, tell me please!

[andrzej]

Does anybody have The Aeroplane Flies High? Would anybody be willing to make a cdr of it for me to buy?

[Niffil]

I have the Areoplane. Will become about 2 or 3 CDRs (max. 4). PM me. (I'm not compliant with those things so be patient.) Got mine from Djangos (http://www.djangomusic.com). There will probably be a used one in some time.

[Niffil]

hmm... just want you to know, in case you don't:
Billy Corgan is gonna release a solo album in spring next year.
Jimmy Chamberlin will release his album on January 25th. It's called 'Life Begins Again'

Billy's will probably be great, but he had some serious issues shortly and couldn't come up with great stuff. Hope he is over it now.
Jimmy's album will surely be great. Not mastered the best way, but musically great.
(those are my thoughts)

[Tommy]

Glass and the Ghost Children, Porcelina best 2 songs
XYU is awesome live, anyone heard it at the Palo Alto gig. Funny stuff.

Is Jimmy drumming on Billy's album?

[Niffil]

Is Jimmy drumming on Billy's album?

Nope, don't think so, but Billy sings one of Jimmys lyrics on that record.

[Thanatos]

The Smashing Pumpkins is the first group which I saw in concert, really one in my best concert.
It's a pity that the group does not exist any more.

[Gish05]

The Metro DVD is coming in 2006!

http://www.billycorgan.com/

:)

Jimmy Chamberlin's new solo album is coming out on the 25th of January... Corgan's is done as well but there's no release date for it yet. I cannot wait, they are both going to be excellent.

Anyway, I've been a fan of the Pumpkins for 8 years now... I wish they never broke up - I never got to see them live! That doesn't stop me from getting every good bootleg I can get my hands on. I've downloaded quite a few over the years... this band is just as amazing live as they are in the studio, words can't even describe it. They really are in a class of their own. People don't realize it...

If you can ever get the 1996/04/07 DVD, do so. I'd upload it somewhere but it's like 3.5 gigs :( The performance is unbelievable. Fuck You, Ruby, Porcelina, Cherub Rock and XYU are absolutely flawless; better than they sound in the studio. You have no idea how much better it is until you see/hear it. Amazing.

[I Am NONE]

yeah they were so cool...i started playin one of their songs on a student party (bwb)..no one knew it and they said it sucks and that i should stop...that was depressing

What does it mean 1979? Have something special happened this year??? not only in the songs of the smashing pumkins 1979 can be met but also in R.E.M. and others i can't recollect now.
Please help me and explaine what is what.

[kiernana]

god, the pumpkins were the band that made me love music. i never really got into the nirvana group, i heard siamese dream and was hooked.

they were the first band i saw live, and it was amazing. i also saw them on their farewell tour and actually was in chicago for their last show ever. one of the saddest moments. man they were so good..

i have all their cds, plus the boxed set. quality music, which no doubt i bet influenced muse. i mean, guitars with pianos? what an idea?

I don't like Nigga's since my parents come from West Africa and they don't have any manners to me.I was just born in the USA and I am the "Beautiful ONE" for this reason.And don't get Angry when people feel this way because you don't know their situation.
I love the Smashing Pumkins though(Pumkin Smahed).Their music heals me.

[spaceboy250]

siamese dream opened my eyes way back in the day, for christ sake I used to like nirvana *spits* siamese, mellon collie and adore ( not to mention Gish and Pisces) really opened my mind to guitar music with real heart and a visceral attitude at it's heart. It's what made me pick up the guitar and want to learn it. It's shaped my musical tastes all because it meaned something. I've spat bile about things that anger me and wept with things that upset me all to a soundtrack by the pumpkins. They've been a part of my life I am glad that I had through the hard and good times. If they are not remembered as an important part of the 90's guitar movement in years to come I will feel sorely cheated,

Favourite song (for personal reasons): Jupiter's lament.

I truly believe when it's all said and done with that Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness will be considered by the majority of critics as well as music connoisseurs around the world as one of the 100 best albums ever assembled in the history of rock music.

[Jamie_Manic]

New song out there called 'A100'. I absolutley love it. It's on Limewire.

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

If you haven't got it already...downloaded Starla by the Pumpkins, it's an ols B-side and it's one of their best songs. 11 minutes long.

[spaceboy250]

5 and a half mins of which is just excellent guitar noodling. I do love Starla

[Wowee Zowee]

i bought the 1991-2000 greatest hits video on dvd today....well worth £20 with all those extras and commentary by the band!

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

I might have to get that myself.

what beats being in a band?

[Wowee Zowee]

:LOL: i bet hes doing it because he noticed the future embrace is shit.

[RadioBread]

:LOL: i bet hes doing it because he noticed the future embrace is shit.

yeh me to and alos because anyone who buys the album basically wants it to sound like the pumpkins, anyone who sees him live wants some pumpkins songs played and he is prob not making much money

[Wowee Zowee]

i'd like to see the smashing pumpkins back again though.....as long as they made an album that went back to their roots like siamese dream or gish and not machina.

yeh, but maybe this time they could play what the fans want not what the pumpkins want, like thier last uk shows

[andrzej]

Oh my god a pumpkins reformation!!!!!!!

good thing or bad thing?

[Thessi]

I started listening to Mellon Collie due to being reminded...
And oh yes, it's SUCH good stuff. The riff in Ruby makes me tingle :LOL:

[LittleMUSEalieN]

why not d'arcy? sorry i dont know a lot about the band except for the music, did she leave or get kicked out??? i really liked d'arcy it would be cool to see her in the band if they get back together! :happy:

[andrzej]

no-one really knows where she is and Billy referred to her not so long ago as a mean spirited drug addict- rumour is shes in a bit of a state these days...

ah ok tnx ^^ shame things wound up that way.

[Alec Trevelyan]

Mellon Collie and the infinate sadness was in a class of it's own
Yes it was! I grew up listening to that album back in the day when music was recorded on something call tapes. Just last week I upgraded my tapes to CDS for Mellon Collie. How is that Machina... God of the Machines album(sorry if not right name)?

:D The Smashing Pumpkins are awsome!

[Bakesh]

I like Machina better than Adore for some reason.... I think there's a lot more worthwhile songs on it.

I used to listen Siamese Dream and MC&tIS all the time. I used to go to sleep everynight with "By Starlight" playing on repeat, heh...I was in 7th grade then, and i still love the song (when i'm in certain moods).

Gish and Pisces Iscariot are great albums, too, but obviously a little unpolished when compared to their later albums.

I used to be huge into them, mainly because i had never seen/heard such a band with sooooo many songs. I mean, so many singles with so many b-sides and all of them are great (if you're an SP fan).

Honestly the only song I really can't stand was their first single after MC&tIS, and that was "The Everlasting Gaze", can't stand it :(

[pennyroyal]

Sorry if this has been posted before but...

Billy has announced that he fully plans on REVIVING THE SMASHING PUMPKINS. He says he misses the songs and has been keeping this secret for about a year now. It's on his website, billycorgan.com. He DID also say on the radio however that it's not going to be the way we'd expect it...I took that as him saying he's not going to have the same band members, i.e. James Iha and D'arcy...I'm sure Jimmy Chamberlain will be in it though. What do y'all think?

I saw him on Wednesday and he was pretty good....nothing spectacular, but great nonetheless. I got him to sign something and he seemed pretty nice, but he also seemed like a pretentious dick, lol. I asked him if I could get a picture with him but he said (in a nice way) "nooo." I guess that made sense since there were so many people around him.

[Bakesh]

why wouldn't james iha be in SP if it was revived?

[Wowee Zowee]

James Iha can piss off.
he didnt sign my poster :'(

[RadioBread]

James Iha can piss off.
he didnt sign my poster :'(


how the hell did you meet the pumpkins?

[egomaniac]

[Bakesh]

best band of the 90's imo

[Wowee Zowee]

how the hell did you meet the pumpkins?
a perfect circle.

[RadioBread]

a perfect circle.


ahhh

[reenap]

Now i see ze thread... :$ Sorry for the prev one i started...i be blind.

[andrzej]

poor old billy i bought his album from my local record shop on the day it came out, and on friday no more had gone from the shelf....it must really smart, especially with greenday doing so well these days...

[pennyroyal]

why wouldn't james iha be in SP if it was revived?

well...billy hasn't spoken to james NOR d'arcy in several years. And I don't think James would want to talk to him anyway, since Billy publicly has said that the whole reason why the Pumpkins broke up was simply because of him, which I find hard to believe.

[Wowee Zowee]

does anyone know on the The Smashing Pumpkins - 1991- 2000 - Greatest Hits Video Collection DVD on the Gish bit what song is playing in the background?

[unicorn*]

poor old billy i bought his album from my local record shop on the day it came out, and on friday no more had gone from the shelf....it must really smart, especially with greenday doing so well these days...

Maybe that is 'cause there are not many ppl who listened to SP and who have heard ab Billy Corgan. When I found the album here in Ukraine my hands were trembling 'cause I did not expect find it here!!!!!

[Elsie]

I found Billy Corgan's poetry book yesterday

[unicorn*]

I found Billy Corgan's poetry book yesterday

wow, as to it is just great!!!! So have you bought it r smth???? Have you read it already???? how is it???
It would be nice if you wil "publish" one or a part of a poem here :p

[kiernana]

oh dear... i loved this band... i still do...

can't wait to see if billy really will reform the band....

i remember seeing their last few shows... my first concert ever was a pumpkins show. while all my friends liked nirvana, i was a pumpkinhead... :D

good times...

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

I can't stop playing Bodies. It's just soo...I don't know..angrily brilliant.

[andrzej]

*plays bodies* damnit now you've got me hooked again

definitely one of the best pumpkins voice- Billy's voice is just perfect for it (unlike some other songs)

[end of part one]

after reading this im now listening to mellon collie for the first time in absolutely ages. still sounds as good as it ever did!

[Wowee Zowee]

Patience, Patience....

The surprise I have in store for you all will be announced soon enough....hold on to your horses. Afterall, good things surely comes to those who wait....Don't you just love the suspense?

and i want them to play readinggg

[Sapphire]

Uuummm would it be too crazy flying to California to see that... Thought so.
But I'm sooo stalking them with my boy this summer around Europe. Between this and Placebo we won't stay still for more than 3 days...

[Black Mamba]

i still have the box set. in good condition too. that has all the MC singles on it.

i love that band. :happy:
wow.

[christoph]

So who's in the band this time around? James?

[kiernana]

So who's in the band this time around? James?
i've heard that melissa auf der maur is being invited back to play bass and jimmy will be on drums. jimmy and billy have always been on good terms, so....

should be interesting to see if James comes back. don't think it would really be the pumpkins without him. i wish d'arcy would play too, as i've not seen them in their original lineup.

[Wowee Zowee]

James wont come back I dont think because hes a bitch.

[Black Mamba]

Will they reform or not?

[Wowee Zowee]

Will they reform or not?
Yeah, it's just that James was the main reason pumpkins split in the first place. Billy will probably get someone from his solo album or even off of Jimmy's solo...

[Black Mamba]

I hate it when cool bands do that.

well i don't think billy was the easiest person to get along with either.he's a control freak. i mean, he ended up doing all the bass and guitar parts himself on siamese dream. :stunned:

[Wowee Zowee]

well i don't think billy was the easiest person to get along with either.he's a control freak. i mean, he ended up doing all the bass and guitar parts himself on siamese dream. :stunned:
yeah but hes a decent song writer...just let him do it...possibly one of the best for our generation.

[kiernana]

yeah but hes a decent song writer...just let him do it...possibly one of the best for our generation.
not arguing. while everyone praised nirvana and pearl jam i was more into the pumpkins really.....

but still i can see why it's hard for james to want to come back.

[Wowee Zowee]

Being in the limelight for a high profile band innit.

I'm only going on the proviso that they are playing..methinks Billy Corgan is gonna do the whole diva thing for a little while longer before we get a confirmation that they're playing...

[andrzej]

Just saw the video for 'Tonite, Tonite'...on E4?!?

Made me feel all warm inside. Roll on the reunion please, Billy Corgan.

im not amazingly bothered about the album because it will probably be shit
but i cant wait for a tour

[Wowee Zowee]

how do you know it will be shit? when did they even make a shit album? zwan wasnt even shit.

[Wowee Zowee]

so you complain when they break up and you complain when they reform jesus....

i'm just happy they are making music and whatever they do it will be good in my opinion as i have loved the band for many years..same goes for Pearl Jam.

[Black Mamba]

New album...w00t.

no i cam not complaining, i am actually really really happy. all i said was that im not to bothered about a new album im more about being able to see them live because i never thought i would and you seen to have taken it as a personal insult

[glasskite]

I don't think its can be called a proper pumpkins reunion if neither darcy or james are back on the line up. Well, darcy's gone all awol, and I know James and Billy had problems, but fuck, without at least another member of the original lineup its just another "Billy Corgan & band" thing.

[Wowee Zowee]

you know Billy was the main person who made all the music anyway...so who cares.

[kiernana]

yeah billy did all the music, but it's just not the same as seeing them all together on stage. i've seen them twice, one with the full lineup and the second time with melissa auf der maur. the only reason why the second show kicked ass was the fact that it was in a small ass club and i was in the front row. the first one was in a huge arena and i wasn't all that close.

either way, i can't wait. i'm hoping james will come on board. and then i'm sure melissa auf der maur will play bass. but that is ok.

i just want to see billy and jimmy..those two are awesome.

oooh those were the days. :happy:

:yesey: Really excited...and the pumpkins are/were relatively fast in getting their albums out....if you consider that each album was pretty much released just a couple of years within each other...and that was in between touring too...but I think we're gonna have to wait longer for this new one...which you'd expect....it'll have to be a whole process of getting to know each other on a personal level methinks...before they can communicate on a musical level...

[brainbored]

billy and jimmy shouldn't satisfy you, because then you get zwan.......and that didn't help anyone.
I loved zwan. :p Therefore you fail.

[spaceboy250]

that.....must be it.

[kiernana]

I loved zwan. :p Therefore you fail.
zwan = a result of james and d'arcy not being around to keep billy remotely in check. a far cry from the greatness that was the smashing pumpkins.

[RadioBread]

Zwan were shit. that is all.

[DomsDrumstick]

zwan were fine, i just much prefered miserable billy

[Wowee Zowee]

zwan were great.

anything billy does is amazing in my opinion, i love his solo album.

Mina Loy (M.O.H.) one of the best songs hes ever written.

[Wowee Zowee]

not to mention jimmy's solo album!

billy + jimmy are just amazing.

[RadioBread]

not to mention jimmy's solo album!

billy + jimmy are just amazing.


yeh jimmys album is amazing, its funny really when people said that both jimmy and billy were doing solo albums i straight away thought billys would be better, funny how i was proved wrong.

[Wowee Zowee]

yeh jimmys album is amazing, its funny really when people said that both jimmy and billy were doing solo albums i straight away thought billys would be better, funny how i was proved wrong.
billy's album wasnt bad...like i said Mina Loy (M.O.H.) is classic billy.

how i love Adore probably their best album in my opinion.

i hate that album, i like the rocking pumpkins stuff

[acroyear2]

i hate that album, i like the rocking pumpkins stuff
Agreed. The Pumpkins are best with the heavier stuff.

[Wowee Zowee]

musically they were better on adore.

[dead.eyes]

I think their best period were on Mellon collie, the album and the B-side box "the aeroplane flies high" were amazing! :)
For me the best rock band of the 90's!

[Marvolo]

theyre back in the studio now!

[brainbored]

theyre back in the studio now!
Haven't they been there for about a year now. I wish they would hurry up. Unfortunatly i'm begining to think this is not going to be as good as i had initially hoped.

[LittleMUSEalieN]

im addocted to for martha and their version of landslide atm. beautyyy

[ynnekkenny]

listening to them now... was only a fan after they split up... didnt think much of zwan or any other solo projects

[brainbored]

I loved zwan. Not Pumpkins but still it gave me something cool to listen to that summer.

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

Haven't they been there for about a year now. I wish they would hurry up. Unfortunatly i'm begining to think this is not going to be as good as i had initially hoped.
They've been in the studio for a few months, maximum.

[brainbored]

They've been in the studio for a few months, maximum.
Really? Gosh, i wish they'd hurry up some.

[Wowee Zowee]

mm Zwan.

[Russell]

Apparently Adore lost them a lot of fans. Cant see why, its an amazing album. A clasasic in my opinion. Anyone that isnt sure about it should hear those songs live. Ava Adore, Tear, For Martha, they all sound huge and amazing live.

[supermassivegirl]

OMG how I love SP, I can't tell.
Every album of them is a great album and the voice of Billy is great!
I've seen them live on their last tour: unforgettable.

[Rapture Rapes the Muses]

Anyone know when the new album comes out?

[Zee Deveel]

Don't really think anyone knows. They're making a big deal out of being vague with it's details.

[mr.jingles]

Apparently Adore lost them a lot of fans. Cant see why, its an amazing album. A clasasic in my opinion. Anyone that isnt sure about it should hear those songs live. Ava Adore, Tear, For Martha, they all sound huge and amazing live.

Adore is a great album.

I think fans expected another Siamese Dream or Mellon Collie, but Adore went towards mellow melodies and a soft approach that some might consider it as Smashing Pumpkins trying to be radio friendly.

I remember reading an interview with Billy Corgan saying once how 1979 was his favorite SP song, and he wanted to make an album that sounded more like that, and the result was Adore.

[Aneta]

I like Adore.. I actually have to say, that's my fav album (Smashing Pumpkins)

[.:maybe_i'll_catch_fire:.]

there new albums meant to sound like a mix of Sd and MCIS!!

and there playing aeuropean festival next year!!

[Revelations]

I don't have a source, because I can't find the link. But apparently they've confirmed one UK major festival. I guess Reading/Leeds.

[Aneta]

Or maybe Download! It would be FANTASTIC!!

[Bradass]

Or maybe Download! It would be FANTASTIC!!
One of my favourite bands, and I am going to Download, but the Pumpkins are definitely not a Donnington band.

I am pretty confident that they will headline Reading and Leeds next year.

[plug-in-baby-xx]

Oh I do love Smashing Pumpkins.
Not quite as much as Muse...
But a lot!!

[Crustie]

Who will see them at Lisbon in June?

[kiernana]

shit, i saw this band 10 years ago. it was my first concert. i then got to be front row on their adore tour in st. louis and saw their last two ever shows in chicago.

i cannot wait for them to tour the states again. :happy:

[red]

Argh They Are Touring Again

Hot Shit!!!

[LittleMUSEalieN]

DUDE!!!
theyre coming to pinkpop :D:D
anyone know if darcy will be with them? or will it be melissa?

[Libertine]

The only confirmed members are Billy and Jimmy. Unfortunately it's highly unlikely that James or D'arcy will return.:( Melissa has said she'd be up for it though.

[Bewilders]

I listened to them all last night. I thought I lost the album. Missed it so much.

Are they still rumoured to be together?

[kiernana]

d'arcy won't for sure. melissa said she'd play if asked.

now james i think might possibly be coaxed into it, but i would think that billy would have talked with james before hand to get the ball rolling before announcing the tour and setting up dates.

i don't think i'll ever see them in their original lineup. :(

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

James is doing some solo thing at the moment I think.

I think Jimmy is the second most important member though, didn't Billy do all the guitar and bass parts for Siamese Dream himself?

[egomaniac]

yeah, also he did all of adore on his lonesome

[end of part one]

james has said he def wont be rejoining for the reunion as hes busy doing a solo album and working on his label :(

[Wowee Zowee]

billy is the only one with talent...ive heard james's first solo album and its a right shit album.
