LouieB Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I guess no one in Chicago is interested in hosting the SP for a residency. Or maybe this is more of a woodshedding thing. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

victor79 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I think it's pretty cool for them to do that. I was a fan in the 90's and I'm always pleased to see them trying things, be "artistic". The thing with the Pumkins and Corgan is that deep down is a folk pop songwriter. I believe it's were his true talent is (Mayonaise,1979, The Tale of Dusty and Pistol Pete,Let Me Give the World to You, or all those great acoustic Zwan songs that were so much better than the released L.P.) but he thinks he has to appeal to all those emo kids and the people that goes to see the Good Charlotte, My Chemical Romance , Linkin Park and so on.As he got older he became pathetic as he attemped to "Rock". I know "teenage angst has paid off well" but the new L.P., if he goes for the rock thing, will be a laborious and ridiculous come back that might only satisfied the 90's nostalgics. And don't get me started on all his metaphisical nonsense. I'm not really looking forward to this release. But anyway, this anouncement is quite pleasing. It's interesting to change the pace of 1 city/1 gig/the hits . It gives the feeling that the music still matters it's not just buisness and that's a good point for Mr Corgan.

dannygutters Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I heard the new pumpkins are going to allow taping, so hopefully I can listen to some of these off of bt. Also, Just connecting the dots, but maybe they will play the hideout block party this year since it is in conjunction with the metro's anniversary theme? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brianjeremy Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 so, yeah, I am super-excited. I never got to see the pumpkins and considering I live less than 50 miles away and I frequent Asheville, this is a blessing from god. Hate all you guys want on the pumpkins but for the fans it's really awesome, esp. for a smalll-time tour stop like asheville. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, but I totally disagree with this. Who rocked harder than the Pumpkins?? They were ALL about the rock. All those newer bands you mentioned sound exactly like the Pumpkins, not the other way around. He influenced THEM. Yes, we know Billy can write pretty, softer stuff but look what his "fans" did to them when he tried that (Adore/Future Inbrace). Now that most of his fans are older, I do think it will be a shame if all the new disc displays is the screaming angst thing but it seems to be working for Trent Rezner so what do I know. I still think The Pumpkins were the most talented band to come out of the 90's so I will always great new Billy material with anticipation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How many shows do you plan on going to...I was just thinking if Wilco did this in NYC...I would probably go to 5 or so! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MrRain422 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 So, uh, who's in the band? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 So, uh, who's in the band?Billy, Jimmy, & 2 nobodies from Chicago (i forget their names) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brianjeremy Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Billy, Jimmy, & 2 nobodies from Chicago (i forget their names) It a male and a female from no-name indie bands. I believe their bands were in california though. May be wrong on that on though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TimRoss Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Ginger Reyes (I think) aka Ginger Halo? Blond bass player. Jeff Schneider from the Lassie Foundation. Ginger had a song on the Freaky Friday soundtrack (?!?) Sounds like music by Kelly Clarkson to my ears. I may have seen a clip of Schneider somewhere. I don't know if it was ever confirmed which dude it was in the band photo, but he may be from an Asian family. I guess the idea is that if you squint while watching them it will "kind of" look like the Smashing Pumpkins. None of them played on the record. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
