    Jimmy's back on board too. I would see them without D'arcy and James because next to PJ, guess where they rank? :)

    I saw Zwan live once and it sucked. Pumpkins are a whole different story tho.

    Nope. I never saw them live back when they were the real Smashing Pumpkins but I listened to quite a few boots. Sometimes they sounded good and sometimes they sounded god-awful. This time around Billy is just freaking out because his post SP career has been utter rubbish. Let James back into the fold and then I'd consider it.

    You better believe it, I can't wait till the finally get the Pumpkins off the ground and running!

    The Pumpkins/Corgan are hands down my favorite artist (some people might say I'm obsessed... to each their own), anyhow they are currently recording in Chicago; their website is back up (http://www.thesmashingpumpkins.com); they are signed to Warner Bros; and they are rumoured to be having Melissa Auf de Mar as their bassist (I love D'arcy, but she is nowhere near as good as Melissa); and Eric Avery from Janes Addiction on the other guitar!

    As for Zwan, what you don't realize is that a majority of Zwan's best stuff WAS NOT put on the album, Billy didn't want it to sound just like the Pumpkins (I've heard some of their first shows, you would have the stuff was straight off of Gish/Siamese Dream it was excellent).... but since it once again is the Pumpkins, well... as Billy put it himself after he finished his final solo show in North America (here in Seattle), 'The next time I'm here it'll be with the Pumpkins... and it's gonna FUCKING RAWK!!!!'

    The man is egotistical; he's a dictator; but he knows what he's doing!

    I'd go see them if they had at least Billy, Jim, and James. As much as i love D'arcy, their last year as a band showed she was replaceable. But I'd prefer D'arcy over anybody else

    I'd be there. I would like to see James back in but I'd still go.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    Seems as if you have the wrong website. That one is for sale. Did you mean: http://www.smashingpumpkins.com/ ?

    I don't know about the Zwan shows you guys saw but the one I saw rocked. And honestly if it were called Smashing Pumpkins I'd probably see Billy Corgan play with KISS.

    Hell yeah I'm there!!! As long as Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin are together the Smashing Pumpkins will be alright. Hell, Corgan recorded a lot of the songs totally on his own or had Jimmy playing the drums while he played all the other instruments and sang!!!

    Lol, the Smashing Pumpkins should be renamed "This IS Spinal Tap"

    I would certainly see them....just to hear some of those tunes live would be awesome.
    The wind is blowing cold
    Have we lost our way tonight?
    Have we lost our hope to sorrow?

    Feels like were all alone
    Running further from what’s right
    And there are no more heroes to follow

    So what are we becoming?
    Where did we go wrong?

    Yess!! With Billy and Jimmy on board is enough for me. I'd love to see James and D'arcy or Melissa back though.
    By the way,

    Lots of Zwan Live Stuff

    i've seen them once without D'arcy before. on the 2000 tour with Melissa Auf der Maur.. god she's beautiful.. I had a chance to meet her a year or so ago when she played a show in town.

    yes, I'd see them in a second without D'arcy or James.. I think they'd be much more into it as a "reunited" or "semi-reunited" tour than they were on the "farewell" tour
    life is the study of dyin'
    and how to do it right

    I don't think I'd follow them around like Pearl Jam, but I think I would go there just to have a good time and relive some of the great music of the early 90's! :D:):D:)

    The rumor is that Eric Avery from Jane's Addiction will be playing bass for them. He's a much better bassist than Darcy or Auf Der Maur. His bass lines on the early Jane's albums are incredible - simple, but so powerful. I bet he'll rock the shit out of grooves like I Am One and Bury Me. I just hope Corgan can reign his ego in enough to let Eric help in the writing of the new album, because the combination of Avery and Corgan could be amazing.
