Holy SHIT!!  I can't believe that I missed these posts/this topic.

Apart from Guns N' Roses, the Smashing Pumpkins are my favorite band.  I am of the opinion that there really is no more prolific songwriter out there than Billy Corgan.  Seriously -who the hell else has written THAT many songs that are THAT good in THAT amount of time.

Anyway...

New album -LOVE it.  I think that it's infinitely better than Zwan (mostly because I saw Zwan numerous times and in my opinion, the best Zwan songs were not included on the album).

I'm also just glad to see that Jimmy Chamberlain is getting some more of the spotlight.  He's an absolutely amazing musician.

I've got my tickets to the Detroit show at the Fox Theatre and I'll be sure to let everybody know how it goes.  I'm really hopeful that it'll be amazing.

As some have posted some Pumpkins videos, these are among the ones that I've been enjoying of late...

33 (my favorite Pumpkins song) performed this year at the Rock am Ring 2007) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txcPW7G3rrg

Tear from Brussels in 1998 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ds-fPZUdb0

Enjoy!

yeah jimmy chamberlain is the fucking man. best drummer alive not named Danny Carey rofl

Geek USA is fucking incredible, i think its his best drumming performance but there are so many!!


and i agree with u about Corgan being such a prolific songwriter. the other day i was trying to think of my top 5 favorite pumpkins songs and it was pretty much impossible cuz there are sooo many great songs.

Great video, IMO - I hadn't thought about that kind of look/setting for That's the Way, but I must say... it clicks. I like it.

listened to it once last night and didn't really get into it.  nothing grabbed my attention at least.  i'll give any album 3 listens.. 3 is enough and if I can't get into after 3, that is enough for me.   so maybe try agaiin tonight.

and i'm glad i gave it a couple more listens because I'm really loving this album now.  peace   some great stuff here.

listened to it once last night and didn't really get into it.? nothing grabbed my attention at least.? i'll give any album 3 listens.. 3 is enough and if I can't get into after 3, that is enough for me.? ?so maybe try agaiin tonight.

and i'm glad i gave it a couple more listens because I'm really loving this album now.? peace? ?some great stuff here.

yeah i found it SOOO undewhelming at first but it has grown to be a good album in my eyes. i cant say i HATE any song on it really, and the only song that is close to "filler" for me is "(C'mon) Lets Go" but i rarely skip it cuz its still a fun song with good riffing.

i actually LOVE the bonus tracks, espectially "stellar" and "zeitgeist", i think those two songs are excellant and deserved to be on the album.

its a shame Thats The Way (My Love Is) is the single tho, its a decent song and will do okay but i think Bring The Light would've been a much better choice for the second single.

My favorite album so far this year. Simply great stuff. Doomsday Clock, My Love is, Tarantula, United States, Neverlost, Bring The Light, Pomp And Circumstance and Come On Let's Go are all top notch, but the main prize goes to Starz. Corgan hasn't made anything that good since Siamese Dream, maybe Mellon Collie.

The rest are good too, but do not stand out as much as the others.

Jimmy Chamberlain said in an interview that they will begin recording a new album after the tour!!!

he also confirmed that zeitgeist was a simple rocking in your face album to get new fans cuz it was a comeback album etc.. so this new record will probably be much more experimental.? drool

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_evk2R4wGU

this is the best pumpkins live performance i've ever seen its Fuck You(An ode To no one) from the final metro show (proshot) its from the greatest hits DVD.

billy's screams and jimmy's drumming are just fucking insane.

the whole show was recorded and theres been rumors of a DVD release ever since.

Today is off Siamese Dream, amazing album!

i must say.

i feel very ignorant right now.

i always never bothered with the pumpkins cause i read they were apart of the grunge/alternative scene....

but i must say they are not what i expected, loads of guitar solos, psychedelicness, i love all that type of stuff really digging this, its like hendrix with a typical 90s sound twist.

i read up on them and how they change...

whats this "eletronic" stuff i read about like that they did in the late 90s?

That was on the album "Adore" where they used drum machines and stuff cause their drummer wasnt a part of the band at that time, it's a good album, not my favourite but has some good tracks on it!

what about the machina albums?

They're pretty good, the first is the better of the two I think, definitely underated!

I'd reccomend you check out Siamese Dream and Melloncollie and the infinite sadness and take it from there Smiley

cool,i checked alot of youtube videos, dug the dream stuff, very "drifting in the clouds" spaced out haha.

melloncollie singles on youtube, i dunno his voice is different on it and it annoys me ill still check the album out though.

^ hey mrlee i'm really happy ur finally getting into the Pumpkins!! ok

if u haven't already, check out Siamese Dream. i cannot stress enough how much that album owns. it could very well be my favorite album ever.? the next logical step would be Mellon Collie u can check out the singles for the songs "Zero" and "Tonight, Tonight" great stuff. really shows their diversity. Zero is a badass rocker and tonight tonight is an amazing uplifting anthem.? that album really has it all as far as diverse song structures and styles.

i finally got the full length version of the song "Drown" off the soundtrack for the movie Singles.

the only other version is the one on the greatest hits which is half the length. the longer version is much cooler, it has a E-Bow solo at the end that was taken out for the greatest hits. i think that version was only 4 minutes and this one i just got is over 8 minutes long!!

if anyone wants it PM me.

i really think Billy Corgan is one of the most underrated guitarists of the 90's. all the critics seem to do is bash his voice and call him a control freak, but the guy can fucking rip it up on the guitar!!!!

i'm really excited for the next album i hope they really branch out and experiment, and i hope jeff and ginger get to be involved this time cuz they are great.

Zeitgeist has been on my playlist since it was released. I think it's my second favorite SP album after Siamese Dream.

I wonder how they liked touring with GN'R.
