Smashing Pumpkins do something cool for a change- Gish Box Set, Gish Tour

dazedcola · 06.23.2008, 12:07 PM

Remember how we all got excited about a new pumpkins record last summer and were all horribly disappointed when corgan served us shitgeist ? Well it seems that even he is realizing how bad that was and is now falling back on one of his achievements from the past.

I fucking love Gish and always feel it was an underrated gem in their catalog. I really enjoyed that psychedelic feel alot of the tracks had with them. This was back when billy was taking acid and before he had an ego.(Maybe the acid is to blame for his seemingly god complex he carries around).Now it's 17 years old and Billy wants to celebrate it properly. I'd kill to hear the songs from gish done live.

From SP.com:
Does anyone else smell that in the air? Oh yeah, that's Gish!

SP.com has another small byte of information for you regarding your favorite first Smashing Pumpkins album: plans are currently underway that will lead to the eventual release of a pre-Gish/Gish box set!

What is to be included on here, no one knows for sure but it should be noted that its release is expected to coincide with the Gish tour sometime in 2008...

Expect more information as it becomes available.

2008 is so nineties.

MellySingsDoom · 06.23.2008, 12:09 PM

"Gish"? "Gash", more like...

Everyneurotic · 06.23.2008, 11:20 PM

i wasn't severly excited about zeitgeist, and only listened to it like 3 months ago a few days before seeing corgan and friends at a festival. wasn't a life affirming experience but a decent collection of tunes.

i made myself a gish deluxe edition some time ago.

Green Magnesium · 06.24.2008, 01:13 AM

Hooray. Gish is my favorite album of theirs (after Adore that is) and I will definitely pick this set up (but will skip the 'Gish Tour', ick).

I could honestly care less about anything they've done recently. I never even tried to listen to Zeitgeist all the way through. No matter how bad Corgan fucks up in the present, the first four albums (Gish --> Adore) will always be near and dear to my heart.

Cantankerous · 06.24.2008, 01:14 AM

oh dear.

i suppose d'arcy "i'm untalented and uncreative and bland so i have to put an apostrophe in my name" wretzky the crackhead wont' be making an appearance?

acousticrock87 · 06.24.2008, 01:15 AM

Gish tour? Does that mean Iha and what's-her-face are going to be there? Sounds like another Corgan scam.

it would seem that darcy (no i will not spell it with an apostrophe) would be too busy hitting the pipe to try and play bass.

Green Magnesium · 06.24.2008, 01:22 AM

Damn girl ... did she kill your parents for crack money or something?

Cantankerous · 06.24.2008, 01:24 AM

that didn't make any sense.
"did she kidnap them and sell them into white slavery for crack money?" would have been the appropriate quip.

and the answer to that
is yes.

Green Magnesium · 06.24.2008, 01:38 AM

I was implying in my sleepy state that she killed them and then ROBBED their corpses.

I am glad you set the record straight for everybody... but big D could have easily killed them you know. At least this way you have the slim chance of seeing them alive again one day

Cantankerous · 06.24.2008, 01:42 AM

actually she sold them to the circus.

viewtiful_alan · 06.24.2008, 01:45 AM

My recollection of Gish is that it was merely meh... not too good, but definitley not bvad, just kind of there.

acousticrock87 · 06.24.2008, 01:49 AM

I'm not sure I've heard it as a whole, just songs from it. I kind of just tack my opinion of Siamese Dream to it, which is that it's pretty good, has a very developed (if not unoriginal) sound to it, but overrated. Mellon Collie is 1000x better, and no Pumpkins fan will admit it.

I agree 100%. Mellon collie is their classic, if a little over indulgent.
Siamese Dream isn't consistently great as it is made out to be.

maybe if i was in my mid thirties-early fourties and hated everything sonic youth has done since say, the late 80's early 90's i could appreciate it.

im sure it boils down to money...either that are alot of these older bands are dealing with serious mid-life crisis issues.

I thought the Daydream Nation show was one of the best concerts I've been to. Weird maybe, but it was great. I've only seen like two of those songs live before, and it was great to finally see some favorites.
