The Official Smashing Pumpkins/Billy Corgan Thread

Yeah he was doing that at the last SP concert i went to, Billy's just full of himself. And dragging United States out to half a f****g hour didnt do them any favours. Still a good gig tho :)
 
Someone here asked to choose between The Pumpkins and Zwan.... well, I think the answer would be pretty clear cut... the mutli - huge album juggernaut or the meandering side project that failed...


Ok, so that beuing said, I LOVED the Zwan album, and thought it actually had some really strong solid pop tuns and some excellent playing.


To be honest, Corgan should have just stuck "Smashing Pumpkins" on the cover and run with it - the core of the band was him and Jimmy Chaberlin who are the core of the band now anyways... and probably always really were...


The fact remains, Mary Star of the Sea is a darn good recording.
 
I have so many Smashing Pumpkins favorites (Billy Corgan solo songs not so much)

siva
Hummer (!!!!!)
Disarm (!!!!!)
Mayonaise
Bullet With Butterfly Wings
To Forgive
Ava Adore
The everlasting Gaze (!!!)
stand inside your love
aeroplane flies high
soot and stars

at the age of 15 I finally discovered "guitar music" (opposed to dance/pop) by having to listen to RHCP, HIM, Korn and System of a Down at my frienRAB'.
and Siamese Dream was the first cd I bought then - without anyone introducing the band to me.
and I'm very proud of that :)
 
When I look at this thread all I see is talk about Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie but what about Gish? What does anyone think about that album? I think its their best cd, but that's just my opinion.
 
^A properly mastered and released version of Machina II will never happen.

As for my favorite Pumpkin Songs:

Here Is No Why
Dross
Blue
Starla
Porcelina Of The Vast Oceans
Thru The Eyes Of Ruby
Silver****
Geek U.S.A.
Rocket
Soma
Slow Dawn
Mayonaise
Crestfallen
Love
To Sheila
Glass And The Ghost Children
Glass' Theme
Tear

And too many others to list.
 
The video they link to at the end is pretty retarded... anyone who thinks they're being clever and sticking it to Billy Corgan by BUYING one of his cd's and then smashing it is pretty much a moron.

Like all the people they showed on TV "boycotting" French wine by buying it and then pouring it down the gutter...
 
I compare Nirvana to Smashing Pumpkins in some ways.

Nevermind- Gish
In Utero- Siamese Dream or Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
Incestide- Pisces Iscariot

All I have is Siamese Dream and I have "Zero" and "1979" from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
I want to buy that album and Gish but I don't have the cash.
I'd say MC&TIS is a pretty good album.
I mean I think it has like 20 something tracks and they all look like pretty good songs.
Siamese Dream is awesome.
Cherub Rock, Quiet, Today, Hummer, Disarm, Soma, Spaceboy, Mayonaise, Silver****, Luna, and Tonight, Tonight are great songs.
