They're back and I gotta say, it's a s**t hot return to form even though they are two original members short. Here's footage from their recent performance at Rock AM Ring. | ||||||||||||

cool, i'll have to download it. What's your opinion on bands that comeback after a while? Are they generally a success or has the industry passed them by? |
New album 'Zeitgeist' was released on Monday and I have to say that I think it's the best Smashing Pumpkins record since Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness. I had no idea they were gonna come back with such a hard-hitting record and I'm glad they pulled it off. |
lol, I doubt the original line up will be getting back together anytime soon. They all hate each other. |
Yeah, it's a shame it turned out the way it has for the Pumpkins. The last four albums were dogged with problems because of various band member changes. After Mellon Collie they sacked the drummer, Jimmy Chamberlain and they went as a three piece for the album, Adore. Then bassist, D'arcy left for the follow up, Machina/The Machines of God (with Billy bringing Chamberlain back). Then they recruit Melissa Auf Der Maur to replace D'arcy for a few tracks on Machina II and the entire 'farewell' tour. This new record is just Billy and Jimmy... |
