The Official Smashing Pumpkins/Billy Corgan Thread

[japankorea]

Yes, its one of my favorite PTW songs. I heard it before i heard smashing pumpkins, which is why i like the smashing pumpkin one so much probaly.

That's exactly what I wanted to say... Thanks.

The long version of Drown is the Pumpkins crowning achievement IMHO.

Billy Corgan is a fan hating tool though.

[chaotic optimist]

Pity though, that the whole album was let down by the use of drum machines and studio drummers.

A forum can never have too many Pumpkins threaRAB, hmm? =)

Concerning Zeitgeist, I'm withholding my judgement of the future album until I hear it all, in it's entirety. I won't judge it pre-emptively from the 30-second clip of Tarantula, nor will I judge it by the first full-length single. I will buy it on the 10th of July (my birthday, BTW), take it up to my room, and open up my heart to what I hope will an entirely unique, entirely PUMPKIN experience on par with any of their past endeavours.

James and D'arcy may be gone, but I won't lose faith in Billy Corgan's musical genius. And Jimmy Charaberlin's catasrophic drumming, besides. =) While the whole political edge sounRAB a little iffy to me, I just remeraber that if albums like Adore have taught SP fans anything, it's that one must keep an open mind to appreciate a band as infinitely malleable as the Pumpkins.

Long live Smashing Pumpkins, hmm? =) I can't wait!

Horrible band? Yeah ok. Whatever you say goes.

[Simple Words]

Their new song 'Widow Make My Mind' seems ok. Those 'oh oh oh's from Billy seem kinda irritating but other that that it's not too bad i guess, it's kinda poppy as well.

I've been listening to their early demo tapes recently and i must say that the Moon demo is pretty damn good. I've really fallen in love with 'Egg', 'Bye June', 'Stars Fall In' and 'Psychodelic', Jimmy's drumming on the last 3 minutes of the latter is mind-blowing. Their self-titled demo is rubbish though apart from the first 2 songs, and there's also a couple of songs which sound like Billy fronting early Iron Maiden ('Nothing and Everything' and 'Spitface')

I'm not following him around.

You need to look up the definition of trolling, it's not trolling to take offense from what someone is saying and point it out.

He's constantly showing up on threaRAB specifically for a certain band, saying that band is crap, and stirring up crap with the fans. It dosen't help that he posts in a very self important and provoking fashion. I consider that trolling. Because I express my opinion that it's annoying, that dosen't make me a troll.

Speaking of which, talk about lolrony, why am I even responding to you? You're single handedly the biggest troll on this forum, that's not even arguble.

I lost any interest I had in them after Siamese Dream. Melancholy was one of their most overrated, and their electronica junk really made me apathetic about their break-up. I don't care much for Zwan either. Besides that, I have no problem with jimmy charaberlein, d'arcy, or james iha
