manmower Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Smashing Pumpkins were always a bunch of cunts, so I'm not surprised. Siamese Dream is a great album though, and Mellon Collie has its moments, many of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest margaret thatcher Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 mayonaise is one of my favourite songs ever. so good. they played it live when i saw them on valentines '08 with the (ex)gf. how can you go from that to fucking zeitgeist. jesus.

SR4 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 amen. zeitgeist is one of the worst pieces of shit ive ever heard tarantula had good music, but the lyrics were so fucking awful i can't bear to listen to it. the rest ofthe album is pure shit.

Guest margaret thatcher Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 the '08 gig i saw was a joke. they opened with an epic version of porcelina, which got everyone buzzed. then some garbage from zeitgeist like "come on let's go" or something, i dunno. everyone just stood there until they played "today", then moshed, then the pumpkins tried playing some "new material". which is when the booing started. billy stormed off the stage after an hour, just after fucking up the chords on an acoustic version of 1979. what a fabulous valentines that was. good job i was drunk.

SR4 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 hmm thats strange one of my friends went to...cant remember the name, but it was a multi-lineup festival with wu-tang etc etc he said the pumpkins did a great set, but with him being relatively new to their output, i chad to correct him on how shitty it was....i didn't have to see it, it was horrible. i almost want to say what made them great is that each one had something to bring to the band in the heydays, but billy tightened everything up and was obsessive enough to only churn out quality product. I never disliked an album up through Machina's I and II. but after that, i think his ego was his downfall, and he lost his traditional band setup...I really feel like it's never documented, but they had a lot more input than Billy or even themselves give credit for....perhaps they were unaware of it at the time...but you listen to the new stuff now, and its just not Smashing Pumpkins.

Chris Moss Acid Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 corgan recorded siamese dream more or less on his own, that is a feat good enough for me to like him. dont give a shit after machina 2 came out. zwan was alright for pap pop though.

SR4 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 see, zwan was the beginning of the end for me....i heard about pajo and corgan and lenchantin combining to form a supergroup?? i shit myself, but what came out, even though its....ok.....i feel like billy had way too much control they could have experimented in so many ways with that setup....sorta sad.

joshuatxuk Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 Same here. Machina's were ok but still good, and the way II was released was awesome. My friend loves their pre-break-up stuff, even has a tattoo of the SP heart logo. Zwan is closer to the Smashing Pumpkins than current Smashing Pumpkins. Not to mention that bullshit where Corgan released Zeitgeist at Target, iTunes, and Best Buy, each with an exclusive track, so you bought (in theory) like 3 copies or some shit. So lame.

Guest zaphod Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 i heard some radio interview with d'arcy recently. she's even more batshit insane than i suspected. yeah, she just called in and started talking about random things. apparently she lives on a farm and likes silversun pickups, though it comes across that it's only band she's heard in awhile. lol, she likes a smashing pumpkins tribute band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
