Haha I would love to see this but only if D'arcy and/or James Iha are involved. I think a Billy/Jimmy Pumpkins reunion would be the final nail in Billy Corgan's coffin.

billy and jimmy why does that sound familiar ohh yea they're called ZWAN not smashing pumpkins damn you billy corgan and yr misshappen bald head

Green Magnesium 03.28.2007 09:07 PM

Honestly. Why didn't they just call their last band "Smashing Pumpkins" instead of "Zwan" if they're just gonna pull this nonsense?

ZEROpumpkins 03.29.2007 04:01 AM

Who cares. Is Billy dead yet?

Washing Machine 03.29.2007 08:45 AM

ZEROpumpkins why have you turned so quickly againist the Pumpkins? You obviously liked them at some point, at least enough to have your user name as one of their songs. How can you change your opinion so quickly....it usually takes me at least a year and usually a little more to go off a band.

These guys are pretty old by now, aren't they?

I say this because the nostagia element. I really don't agree with Bands continuing with just 2 of the original members. If this the case with the Pumpkins, its not the Pumpkins at all (bands are more than just one or two people). I believe it would therefore be more dignified to call the band something else or Billy just go under 'Billy Corgan'.

In my band I do the great majority of the songwriting but it does not mean that I am the band. Every person in a band has a different purpose (some are good at writing songs, others brilliant musicians and some member ares there because they have an ability to add the little things that ulimately make the band great). This is why as Billy himself said "Bands make the best music"

I totally agree. I'm not saying I do not feel the family-thing with billy+james+d'arcy+jimmy..I mean they had some of the most heart warming and akward stage interaction ever, everyone in the band was neurotic in their own way.

I bet James will be in..he loves the pumpkins..but he also loves darcy and probably wouldn't want to do it without her.

I will see them regardless..just for the songs.

king_buzzo 03.29.2007 11:02 AM

I can't be bothered to go see them in the Netherlands.

GrungeMonkey 03.29.2007 12:01 PM

I can't afford to go see them.

Wie do you suddenly hate them. Since the anti-SP thread there have been more haters. If you like them it's ok.

king_buzzo 03.29.2007 01:43 PM

Mudhoney are coming to holland in July. Im goign

StevOK 03.29.2007 01:54 PM

DC is their only american date? Fuck. I wants my Pumpkins.

aaronalive 03.29.2007 10:19 PM

Billy Corgan is the smashing pumpkins. The new record is going to be awesome, and I'm sure they will be fantastic live. Smashing Pumpkins are one of the best bands of all time.

k-krack 03.29.2007 10:36 PM

The people using the Zwan argument... totally different... Zwan was a fucking religious "side-project." Plus, if D'arcy doesn't do bass, (I don't think she's even alive anymore) it will be Auf Der Maur. So what, she was there for the last tours. Though, without Iha, there is a major part of the sound gone, but Corgan and Chamberlain are the core.

hi everyone,

We're surprised to announce that we will be opening for Smashing Pumpkins this fall. It should be crazy and we hope some of you can make it. We're also working on putting together more tours for Europe (we will do our best to make up some of the shows we missed this summer), South America, Asia, and Austrailia.

Okay. Thanks for caring.

Love,
Explosions

Face it Corgan is a whiney egomaniac, don't be a victim...
