I was about to say "Smashing Pumpkins haven't been around in forever" but then I saw "6-30-00" on the video description, lol.

not bad, would be cool if they pulled a greenday and came back..

Man I used to listen to their tunes over and over and over...

i love them

they are!

i liked only the Adore album, the rest is not for my ears

that's good news

Yes especially adore ...

The Smashing Pumpkins always put on a great live show. They never play the same arrangements as on their albums, plus throw in some rare gems each time.

The best show I saw them play was at the Tibetan Freedom Concert in Golden Gate Park (San Francisco) back in 1996.

The line-up for the show:

The Smashing Pumpkins, Foo Fighters, Chaksam-pa, Beastie Boys, A Tribe Called Quest, Pavement, Cibo Matto, Biz Markie, Richie Havens, John Lee Hooker, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine, Sonic Youth, Beck, Björk, De La Soul, Fugees, Buddy Guy, The Skatalites, Yoko Ono/Ima

The Smashing Pumpkins did an afternoon set that was totally psychedelic. They only played a handful of songs, but each one was extended with jams featuring other songs interweaved. I would love to have a bootleg of that show...

Here is the set list (6/15/96):

* Bullet with Butterfly Wings
* Zero
* Tonight, Tonight
* Fuck You
* Silverfuck

I loved smashing pumpkins back when I was in High School!

They were one of the biggest bands of the 90's, and I can see them rocking on twenty years from now like the Rolling Stones keep on doing.

i saw them the night after cobain blew off his noggin ... was a great show finished with an a capella rendition of sweet sweet :thumbsup

that was siamese dream tour - after that the shows got weaker to me to much fucking around not enough fucking rock and roll, although i like the mellon collie albums very much.

ive worn several siamese dream and gish cds down to nubs. mellon collie cds are on their last limbs. if it werent for mp3 they would have died long ago.

kick ass - but "who are the smashing pumpkins" is it corgan with three degenerates or is it with jimmy chamberlain and the gook ... d'arcy is expendable imho ... but chamberlain hellllllll no.

That performance on the vid was awesome, wish I was there front row... It gets too good from 4:00 till the end of the vid.

To this day, I listen to siamese dream at least one time per week, that album is simply perfect, there is no flaws, each track is in my opinion, just perfect. As for their other albums, I am not a huge fan, for me it is siamese dream that has been blasting out of my speakers for many years, an album that intense and moody sits alongside such greats like the god machine "scenes from the second story , tool's enima , lush's "gala , the cure's kiss me kiss me kiss me and joy division's substance cd. All undying greats!

too bad darcy is gone, she was such an intense bassist and so incredibly beautiful imo

SP rulezzzzz!!!!!

My favorite band ever, their shows in Portugal were always amazing. Dont get me started!

Zwan was NOT SP, but Billy and Jimmy always rock!

Great band. Love all of their material.

I think one of my alltime favourite is Apples+Oranjes & Here's to the Atom Bomb

i want them back .... unique musics.... one of the legends....

So here's the question.
Who are the SP fans that like oldschool radiohead and placebo?

Why Am I So Tired?

Nice band but nothing special

Smashing Pumpkins is a good band, the video is awesome too

Yes, they're a band that has the potential to do that!

Love them both. Radiohead is up there with SP :thumbsup


AND PEOPLE, THEY ARE COMING BACK! THIS YEAR.

remember when billy corgan had hair?

duke

yeah i hope chamberlain is back - billy's riffs don't sound the same without him backing them up ...

I am a huge fan. And I am looking forward to their NEW album!!!!!!!!

:1orglaugh oh man, it was allll downhill after Ava Adore...

Yes, I like that group!

I should have mentioned that video started blazing at the end (about 4:00+).. very hard stuff. :)

im really dont listen to that type of music but i can listen to the pumpkins all day long to be in my 20s again when it first came out it eas really something there really hasent been anything good from anybody since 2001 or am i just getting old??

Siamese Dream is probably one of the most influential albums in rock music history. and i must have listened hundreds of times to it

I was never huge into them but more recently I've gotten into some of their stuff. Not crazy about his voice live, though.

Agreed :thumbsup

Not a huge fan of the singer..his voice is annoying

Yep, good from beginning to end.
