Alicia Keys, Rufus Wainwright, Bill Cosby, Aretha Franklin and Howie Mandel (who thanks to Deal or no Deal, is big shit again).

that casino is booking all kinds of big name talent. if anything, the bookers are doing the Pumpkins a favor by having them there.

Yea, I don't disagree......not any more (I did initially), but now I am sure they need ALL the help they can get.

 

By the way, with the possible exception of Alicia Keys all the groups mentioned in the previous posts are nostalgia acts (NOT necessarily a bad thing ya understand), but it kind of backs up my original post about this topic, not to smash any more dead pumpkins.....(Oh yea, I have no fucking idea who Bret Michaels & Rock of Love is, he could be really hot for all I know...)

 

(Oh yea Rufus, well I am sure there are plenty of people who are nostalgic for Rufus' old days.... )

For those of you offended by the Pumpkins playing at a casino, they are now back to 'proper' venues in Chicago....Auditorium and Chicago Theatre.

 

Hell, I'd rather see them in a casino than a theatre. Then again, I wouldn't see them period nowadays.

just like madden kills the zeal to be a professional football player.

 

i could be in the weight room right now.

 

really a terrible comparison to draw. not the same thing, at all. a guitar hero controller actually closely resembles a guitar. and the skills that go into learning guitar hero actually resemble playing guitar on many important levels. the disconnect between real football and madden is too enormous for this comparison to be at all valid.

As expected, the Smashing Pumpkins will celebrate their 20th anniversary with a fall tour featuring unique set lists. The trek begins Nov. 1 in Cleveland and wraps Dec. 2-3 in Los Angeles.

 

During multiple-night engagements, for which special ticket bundles will be available, the band promises to not repeat any song on the set lists. The first night of such runs is being dubbed "Black Sunshine," while the second is called "White Crosses."

 

In the band's Chicago hometown, the Pumpkins will play two nights each at the Chicago Theatre and Auditorium Theatre. Right before the tour, the band will play Neil Young's annual Bridge School Benefit outside San Francisco for the first time since 1999.

 

As previously reported, the Pumpkins have a new song, "G.L.O.W.," in the upcoming video game "Guitar Hero: World Tour," and are the subject of the documentary "It All Goes Wrong," due Nov. 11.

 

Here are the Smashing Pumpkins' tour dates:

 

Nov. 1: Cleveland (Palace Theatre)

Nov. 3-4: Toronto (Massey Hall)

Nov. 6-7: New York (United Palace Theatre)

Nov. 8: Atlantic City, N.J. (Borgata)

Nov. 11-12: Washington, D.C. (DAR Constitution Hall)

Nov. 14-15: Boston (Wang Center)

Nov. 18-19: Chicago (Chicago Theatre)

Nov. 21-22: Chicago (Auditorium Theatre)
