I wish I could go back to 1994 and see them

I actually saw them in 1994 in RI at Lollapoolaza. Corgan's voice sounded so much better with D'arcy's background vocals. I also saw Beastie Boys on the same lineup. A matter fact I saw original AIC, Tool and RATM a year earlier at the same place at 1993 Lollapoolaza. Sometimes being old has it's benefits.

Always so much billy whining..

Not surprising....the guy is an egotistical douchebag. Unless there's some sort of miracle and the original lineup reunites, zero interest in see this watered down version of the pumpkins.

90% of what he says is just said to stir the pot and push people's buttons..he basically attacks the industry (we all love a band who used to do this) and tells it how it is and gets the short end of the stick..

Regarding the music..it is still fantastic. Of course I would love to see James and Darcy back..but as long as jimmy is around that's fine. The guy Jeff Schroeder or what ever his name is actually very good.

Your a Chicago guy..support your local artist. At least for what he gave with gish..Siamese Dream..and Mellon Collie. Next to PJs first 3 can you name 3 better to start a career?

Siamese Dream is equal to ten

Jimmy alone is worth the ticket price for me. And again the music is still good stuff. I can play through their first 3, then I get a little picky and choosy with their later albums, but for the most part there are awesome tunes to be found in them

he's not attacking the industry. he's attacking those who don't put him on a pedestal with cobain and vedder. Eddie has never once (to my knowledge) complained about album sales (except maybe that they were too HIGH), britney spears beating him in sales/radio play, broke up his band because of their inability to keep the kids' attention, or critics' opinion of their records, or changed writing style to fit the sound of the day. Billy is the only alt rock frontman who does this.

but yes, I still love the music. the show on the Oceania tour was incredible. and you are right, Jeff Schroeder killed it on the drums. Jimmy is amazing, but Jeff was a very capable replacement.

I didn't know Jeff played the drums..I have only seen him on guitar... That young kid was on drums for a few years..

Billy is the only alt frontman who does this who is not afraid of reprocussions from industry or peers..i have no issues with it..the Shit he says is never that bad..

sorry, yes, I got the names mixed up. that kid on drums, whatever his name is, was really good.

I just have an issue with anyone who directs their career in the way that will get them the most airplay. that's not authentic. He said about Monuments and Day For Night, and I'm paraphrasing; "Monuments is what I felt I had to do, Day For Night is what I want to do". No matter the quality, I want an artist to be true to themselves, not the charts. Maybe there are other artists who do this and just don't talk about it. Who knows.

I can respect a guy for saying what he feels without worrying about what people think, but if the content is based on complaining about what people think, then that kind of cancels that out.

I was excited about Teargarden. I thought it was a fabulous idea. Give the songs away for free, so people engage in each song on its own, and get the die hards to pay for the vinyl/cd box (which I did). He gave up on that idea when people didn't show as much interest as he thought they would. He proclaimed the album dead and said singles are the way to go from now on. He failed at that, so went back to making albums. He does what he thinks what will be successful, not on what he wants to do.

Either way, I'm going to listen to SP for the rest of the day. Thanks for that!

HughFreakingDillon · February 2016

Mike Byrne. it just came to me.

lolobugg · February 2016

Saw them last year on the Plainsong tour. it was right before Jimmy rejoined for the Manson tour.
I enjoyed the performance at the theater more than the bigger stage. They played rare songs, electro, acoustic and rocked out. It will be even better with Jimmy on board. Liz Phair opening is just icing on the cake.
I am going to the Columbus show. anyone else going?

I believe it was some acoustic and some electric last year. And a number of rare songs thrown in. Even a few songs from Zwan and his solo album.
Loved zwan!!

Same here! Spun the record over the weekend, very very good!

70-80 dollars CAD for Toronto. Thats pretty much right at the limit I'd have set. Our dollar blows but looks like I'll go

Your a Chicago guy..support your local artist. At least for what he gave with gish..Siamese Dream..and Mellon Collie. Next to PJs first 3 can you name 3 better to start a career?

Siamese Dream is equal to ten

Completely agreed. Can't have a much better start to a career than those first 3 albums. Siamese Dream is one of my all time favorites. I saw the pumpkins plenty of times back in the day....I just don't have much urge to go see them anymore.

Either do I..but with jimmy back its more tempting..Let's not forget Liz for this show..did you see her back in the day?? Fantastic...and she's hot!

Anyone go for tickets today?

No..but I'll keep my eyes open for a cheap seat..

lolobugg · February 2016

I scored Columbia tix yesterday thru the Citicard presale.

Mignelli14 · February 2016

I grabbed my single for Toronto. 82.50 Canadian for good seats and 72.5 for less good. Only ten bucks difference, scored front row of the balcony which is the middle tier. I'll be on the side, close, looking down on Jimmy with nobody in front of me, can't complain. There was an 18 dollar ticket fee (seriously?) and 1.50 for the mail. But whatever, I'm going. Got a rad seat for my favourite drummer. Gonna be fun!
