Smashing Pumpkins Reformation?

actual article from the Chicago Tribune. PDF format.

 

There is a Buddha. Well, he always existed, there's no question, so I guess it's a moot point.

...

Oh yeah, sweet/awesome/heaven-like news.

 

Like all the members would come back for that... it won't be the same band, or anywhere near it.

Woah!



*dies*

 

Jimmy Chamberlin would come back most likely. Billy & Jimmy worked together on Zwan (I rather see a 2nd Zwan record) and on each other's solo stuff.

Auf Der Mar is doing what she wants to, which is solo stuff. I heard D'Arcy was in the antiques trade now, and James isn't speaking to Billy at all.

So...yeah. It would kinda be like GnR or something.

 

IF they reform again, I really want James in it. He owns.

 

Would be cool to see, but i cant see it happening.

 

I was about to say, there's no way James Iha would even talk to Billy after he's said so much crap about how James made the band break-up.

Billy's been talking smack about all the former Smashing Pumpkins members for the past month or so, too.

On his online diary thingy, he said he was sorry for all the things he said about James, and that he still loves him as in a brother way. That was 2 months ago or so though.

 

I don't care either way. Gimmie a new Zwan record and I'm a happy camper.

 

Meh I never really liked Zwan. The sound of The pumpkins is all I need. <3

 

If he loved him so much, he wouldn't say such petty things. I think Billy Corgan is a brilliant musician, but he sure can be an a-hole. I think his post on his online diary was nothing more than an attention-getting scheme.

I wasn't a big fan of Zwan, either. They had a few decent songs. Smashing Pumpkins are classic.

 

Man, no one likes Zwan except for me. That record was awesome, in my opinion. It was just a bunch of feel good rock songs. I mean, you can't slit your wrist to Zwan!

 

And you can't slit your wrists to William Hung, but I don't like him either


Nah, I get what you're saying though... but Smashing Pumpkins are extremely similar. Mostly feel-good rock songs.

 

I saw Auf Der Maur live. They opened for HIM along with Monster Magnet.

It was an altogether awful show. Auf Der Maur and HIM were mediocre. Monster Magnet was terrible.

Slightly more on topic, I'd also rather see a Zwan album.

But I'm sure that after listening to his album 87983472398 times, you'd probably want to.

 

Forget slitting the wrists, more like chopping through the jugular.

 

Sounds like a replacement band to me:

There's no way he's getting everyone back if he hasn't talked to them about it. Good luck, Billy.
