The songs will be given a [...]
Now that the Beatles have joined the Rock Band revolution, any remaining holdouts (fearing being called a “sellout”) have decided to join the party. Most notably, U2 now want some of that yummy video game cash. Bassist Adam Clayton claims the band...
Billy Corgan has been saying for a while that he planned for the next Smashing Pumpkins release to be something different than the traditional album format. In a lengthy post on SmashingPumpkins.com, Corgan announced Wednesday that the next "album" from the band will be made up of 44 songs given away for free online over the next year of so. The songs will be occasionally compiled into physical...
The Smashing Pumpkins, with pretty much a brand new line up except for Billy Corgan, are set to release four ‘EPs’ containing eleven songs (correction: it sounds more like an album than an EP), which will fit together as a 44-track ‘album’ (correction: quadruple album) for free. Teargarden By Kaleidyscope (what is it today with [...]
took me forever to buy this album.a diehard SP fan.. since i was 14.... but never one of those people who would tattoo their name on my ass or anything. i just wanted to say- the album is pretty good. things always change.. especially in music. people always hem n haw about 'how different new music becomes' as more albums arrive by an artist. but i can say- i wasnt depressed by the production o...
What a difference a day makes.Last night's performance earns an exactly opposite review. In addition to an amazing setlist, Corgan and the rest of the band acted as they normally do -- appreciate of the crowd, thoughtful, thankful, and grateful. Much like last year's Orpheum performance, last night ranks as one of my all time favorite concerts of any band. I was left in awe as expected, but als...
I expected to be writing a favorable and perhaps glowing review of the first of two Smashing Pumpkins shows, but there's just no way I can write something like that right now.Sure, they played Tonight, Tonight, but that song is hardly able to hold my opinion high after last night's end of show antics.I have a major problem with any artist who feels entitled to throw their fame back in your face...
Having waited about 14 years since last seeing the Smashing Pumpkins live, my anticipation soared last Thursday night at the United Palace. See, Billy Corgan and crew played an integral role in my formative years. The Lollapalooza show a million years ago was my first concert and I effectively took guitar lessons from Billy Corgan, learning power chords from Today, neck chords from Disarm, and ...
*Taken from www.partylikesteve.com... The night of August 16th 2008 will always be remembered as the day the music died for me. It is no mystery that I had been waiting to see the Smashing Pumpkins since I was the ripe age of 12. Through the miracle that is my job, I was able to not only see The Pumpkins on August 16th in Charlottesville, Virginia, but I was also able to float backstage and hea...

If I were to make a top ten list of my favorite Smashing Pumpkins songs "Zero" would be at the top… which might be one reason I fell instantly in love with Le Castle Vania's "Zero Machine." It's kinda obvious this track samples the Pumkins song pretty heavily — right down to the "Wanna go [...]
Billboard reports Guitar Hero World Tour will premiere the new Pumpkins single "G.L.O.W." (along with a playable Billy avatar) when it is released this fall, giving superfans a few months to figure out how to created pirated MP3s from tracks on Guitar Hero World Tour . Good luck everybody.~~
I seem to be on a very geeky tract lately. First Weird Al, then Dr. Horrible, Dark Knight and now, Watchmen. This is one of the greatest graphic novels ever created. Period. And the guys who did 300 are making it into a film. I've sort of been withholding judgment on it for a little while, but now that I've seen footage and pictures, man, I can't wait. ..From amazon.com:The story concerns a gro...
