9:44 PM: Zwan, we mean Billy Corgan and some dudes, we mean the Smashing Pumpkins, thunder onto Bravo, cruelly playing a new song.

9:47 PM: Corgan starts soloing our actual national anthem on the guitar. Is some shit going to start backstage with Bon Jovi? Can that D’Arcy replacement with the hair take Sambora? The plot thickens further.

9:48 PM: Mmm … iPhone ad … want one … oh yeah, global warming, live-blogging, save the planet. On it!

9:52 PM: The new Pumpkins start to sound more Pumpkin-like as they power through “Bullet With Butterfly Wings.” Take that, Jovi!

9:56 PM: Did Corgan just pronounce the name of his new song, “Tarantula,” TAH-ran-TOO-la? Oh, the mysteries of the Pumpkins.

9:59 PM: Corgan tells the fans not to illegally download his new album like they did all of his old albums, then offers a half-hearted “just kidding,” before ripping into “Today.” Today may not actually be the greatest day for the Pumpkins, but it’ll do. Great song.

    Personally, I can't stand Rolling Stone for their pompous, arrogant air that they "know" everything music and thumb their nose at anyone who calls them out on it. They are like the guy who works at the record store who KNOWS what you SHOULD buy and then talks shit about your choices to everyone else later.......much like many people on here. ;)

    i think that's pretty funny! this is more like Zwan to me, just Billy and Jimmy with some other people. where's James, D'arcy and/or Melissa? whatever, not buying the cd. do not care.

    Billy wrote most of the stuff for Pumpkins anyway, in fact i believe Siamese Dream was mostly done by Corgan, which a lot of people consider it to be the best album.
