I’ve honestly never listened to a Smashing Pumpkins album but I think I might give them a shot, although some of the opinions in this thread are giving me reason to be cautious. Pavement are my go to answer when someone asks my favourite band.

Pavement started the beef with range life

I would say the best place to start if you are already familiar with their hits, is the 2nd disc of Melon Collie, shows their full range and experimentalness

This is influenced by SP. He even says “Hello, I’m Billy Corgan” at the start

“Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness, and cleanliness is godliness, and God is empty, just like thousands of seats for the upcoming Smashing Pumpkins reunion tour.”

Just goes to show the lack of legacy this band has, normally a big 90s reunion would be a sellout from old fans and the next generation, I know it’s early days but those seating plans are bleak

This is what happens when you’re a dickhead for 15 years and continually piss on your own legacy.

The fatal flaw in his plan is that Smashing Pumpkins have been touring regularly in different guises for 12 years. Most fans probably didn’t even realize it wasn’t the same line up I bet

Feel like Corgan is some darth vader type character, there is still some good within him, Morrissey is full palpatine

Corgan likes wrestling, that’ll hold my interest for a pint.

You forgot the “I would rather give up alcohol” option

#343

That wouldn’t be any fun now, would it?

And I expect a lot of people who missed them the first time around will have caught them around 2007/8, when they were playing everywhere and Chamberlin was in the band, lessening the impact of this.

I went to his film screening last year and it had a Q&A he came across as a genuinely nice guy, I mean I know he isn’t but he seems to have it in him

They’re playing arena size venues, the shows are in August, the tickets went on sale Friday, by Monday we already have sites publishing ticket sales are shit pieces. Ticket sales may end up being bad but right now it’s too early to say. Outside of people like Adele, Beyonce and JT, you can usually get tickets for arena shows weeks/months after they go on sale.
