    Not sure this is the right place to discuss it, but YES I care. If the other members has found a way to tame Billy's ego, I would love to see them reunite!

    I vaguely remember hearing something like this over a month ago when drunk...
    "So far they have Jeff, Stone and Mike and they're fucking right now trying to get a little Eddie. And if they get to Boom ... we're just gonna keep adding band members. We'll have a horn section ... that's evolution, baby."

    How is this related to Pearl Jam? Shouldn't this have been posted in other music?

    Anyway, I'm as excited about this now as I was six months ago when Billy announced it.

    i think the pumpkins were awesome up to and including adore.

    so if they can return to music as good as the gish to adore stuff, but not necessarily the same as that stuff, i will be highly impressed and shall buy their album.

    however, machina sucks my ass, mary(star of the sea) sucks, as does billys solo album so................

    i'll keep hoping tho!!!! if pearl jam a=can rediscover what made them great then so can the pumpkins.....

    now..... all we need is soundgarden to reunite and nirvana ro get a new singer and we could have a grunge reunion tour!!!!

    No offense... but if it's only Billy and Jimmy Chamberlain... with two other featured players... that's pretty much just Zwan with their old name, is it not?

    The Pumpkins first 4 albums were great... the highlight being Siamese Dream..but their live show sucked to high heaven.

    Zwan were shit, Pumpkins were awesome (although i didnt think the last album was great).

    Good news anyway, start hauling all the good bands through the shitty 'emo' ones.

    Yeah, pretty much. However, a lot of people who wouldn't go out to see Zwan may go to see Smashing Pumpkins- name brand = better attendance at shows. My opinion, anyway.

    The one time I saw Smashing Pumpkins was on the Siamese Dream tour, and they were actually pretty good. Not great, but good.

    I saw the Pumpkins in Tampa with Garbage as the opener. It's still on my top ten concert list. I think Garbage was so good that it really forced Billy to be on his best game. I later saw them alone in DC on their last, small venue tour. They were OK, but nothing like the first time in Tampa. I guess I was lucky the first time around.

    And BTW, the Pumpkins without James Iha isn't really the Pumpkins. They can lose the bass player, she was a sloppy drunk.

    Didn't Billy Corgan put an ad in a paper the day his solo album came out, or something like that? I don't remember exactly, but I remember it was publicized.

    But it doesn't say anything about the line-up or much else for that matter.

    Yea, but the ad basically said his heart was in SP etc.

    The smashing pumpkins website though confirms they are writing a new album.
