@may0naise1984 for your username i figure you are a dedicated sp fan just like me, well if we are fans then why the hell are we fighting?, i mean i was just putting up my opinion you dont have to insult me, calm down and jut envjoy the music, old or new
I actually created an account because this got under my skin so bad. In the words of the great William Patrick Corgan Jr., ANOTHER DUMB KID, SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jimmy wasn't the backbone of anything either!!! Have you seen Mike Byrne play live? I have three times and he stole the show. He's merely a kid and he kicks ass, he plays what Jimmy played with less equipment. Jimmy rocked, don't get me wrong, but Mike has filled the shoes by far and then some. so kudos to Billy, he might be the only one left but he puts on one hell of a show! Everyone he's replaced was better than the last...
Ok, first of all Billy almost always acts like a prick it's his personality, love it or leave it. second, IF YOU DON'T THINK BILLY CORGAN IS THE SMASHING PUMPKINS YOU ARE AN IDIOT AND SHOULDN'T EVEN BE WATCHING THIS! ITS THE BILLY CORGAN SHOW FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! WHEN I TRAVEL THE US TO SEE THIS MAN LIVE, I'M GOING TO SEE HIM, NOT JEFF OR GINGER OR JIMMY OR D'ARCY OR JAMES OR NICOLE OR LISA OR MIKE!! BILLY CORGAN WROTE 99.8% OF ALL PUMPKINS SONGS AND PLAYS ALL PARTS ON RECORD EXCEPT DRUMS.DUH.
@may0naise1984 you know what man, you think im a moron, i think you are a just and angst fanboy. i mean you can expose your opinion like anybody else, thats why this is a free country, but you dont have to be aggressive to the ones that disagree with you, i think the pumpkins arent the same without the rest of the guys, you think its better, lets just say it is a good band and we both love their music...
@IamTheScorchedEarth ok silly, but my point is YES, they are a great band but who are they? They are Billy Corgan. The old band members obviously hold some nostalgic value to a lot of people, Billy included (that was D'arcy's bass in a coffin in the Zeitgeist book, along with the old sp heart) but he is the man behind the curtain, the puppetmaster. so we agree to disagree on who's playing the parts Billy wrote, and we agree that we love the music. But I'm not a boy. HAHAHA
@may0naise1984 oops xDDDD, ok sorry about the gender thing, but yeah i guess you are right, billy wrote everything in their music, so yeah it was his music, but he was playing it with his friends and he was having fun, and the other ones were having the time of their life too. its just sad to me that people who once were doing something beautiful and amazing together now hate each other... even if it wasnt exactly "their" music, it was still SP's music.. peace :)
and dude, i hope you've seen them live before you've paraded these somewhat harsh opinions about... and i don't mean live clips on youtube either. He's pulling it off OK? I just think he deserves credit, he's built a house of cards with the shitty hand he was dealt...he didn't give up on his dream. GO BILLY.
@MrKrause93 did you know that "the original lineup" wasn't involved in Siamese Dream? That was only Billy and Jimmy too. And then Adore was without Jimmy, and Machina was without D'Arcy... so are you a Pumpkins fan, or did you just totally dig 1979?
@MrKrause93 like i haven't seen the music videos? I meant the recording. Billy did everything but drums on Zeitgeist, although Jeff and Ginger and Lisa still played onstage...
@MrKrause93 I'm speaking about Siamese Dream too genius. James played a part on Soma and Mayonaise but Billy did James and D'Arcy's parts on all the rest of that album. How dumb are you? I mean, just shut up and if you don't listen to anything past Mellon Collie why are you arguing about it? insolence. that's why. garbage.
@may0naise1984 Some of these "Pumpkin" fans are fucking idiots, Notice the ones that are stuck in the past..Gish,Siamese Dream, Mellon Collie are always the ones who claim to be huge fans of their music but they dont like any of their other albums. SP are about innovation and change with their music. Unlike most bands each pumpkins album is different, Guess most people cant appreciate good music.
@TheF0etus Hey what did IHA do that was so bad? Im curious. I cant find it on the internet and I wanted to know why he didnt want to come back to the Pumpkins and what he did and why him and billy dont like each other anymore.
@TheF0etus hey man calm down ok, i was saying what i think... the way i see it billy could do music on his own very well, but the band he has right now arent the pumpkins no more, i mean of course the new members are awesome, but his music doesnt have the same feeling that it had before, sure its innovative and modern, but it cant compare to the past. and billys message... i guess his message was "why do you need you need to be sad, when you can be happy"
@IamTheScorchedEarth we aren't fighting, I was stating my opinion as well as my opinion is that you are a moron. Billy Corgan can call his show whatever he wants, the smashing pumpkins or the Billy Corgan circus, the point is they are his songs that are being accredited as Smashing Pumpkins songs so he is the smashing pumpkins. They played parts he wrote. they were his puppets, and ungrateful ones at that.
@IamTheScorchedEarth for most people including me Billy IS enough. I personally believe Billy is Smashing Pumpkins being that he is the only permanent member of the band and he has been there from the start. I wont disagree that Jimmy was pretty important cause he help start the band and he stayed with them for a long time but i believe Billy is and always will be The Smashing Pumpkins.
@u2bowned kudos to you for being intelligent enough to recognize the fact that Billy is SP, and idiots harping on where's D'arcy or where's James should stick with Nickelback
Smashing Pumpkins were the best thing to happen to the nineteen nineties, but those days are over. This "new" band called Smashing Pumpkins, is a sick, disease riddled shadow of its once glorious self. Billy is like the college kid who hangs around his hometown high school kids, and reminds them of how great he is. Billy move on, Zeitgeist blew ass.
@mimewar there are some people in the world who will claim to love an artist and then turn their backs when their style changes.News to those people- ART CHANGES. people change, lives change, change is the only constant.If the Smashing Pumpkins came out with a new album that sounded exactly like Gish or Siamese Dream every two years you'd still be bitching.True fans follow the artist, not the crowd.In "If All Goes Wrong",Billy explains how he's done so with Neil Young,
@mimewar and I think he may have been implying by discussing his idea of what true fans are that he doesn't really want fairweather garbage claiming to be his fans. Love it or leave it,... I don't suppose you were at the Fillmore were you?? hahaha trash.
Jimmy is a legend, so so good on drums, an inspiration. Smashing Pumpkins are amazing, without the other members Billy Corgan just doesn't do it for me. His solo album is no good from my opinion.
Lol he didn't wanna pick an artist to cover a song that would be too obvious. But before he answered I thought he would pick either Mozart or Bach.. I know you so well Billo
Garglin' some nails - the last time I saw them live was way back in 99 - the whole show, I think, was in double time aaannd he SCREAMED almost the whole time. "Tales of a Scorched Earth" level raspiness. Ouch! cough cough
@misterdanger774 OK I know you posted your comment 7 months ago, but I feel the need to set you straight. Darcy had to leave. Because of a serious drug addiction. Her life had become a weight that was counter productive to the dream. James left because he was burned out from many years in a rock band, and he felt he needed to stand by Darcy. They did date, and were the best friends in the band, even after they broke up. Jimmy is still with him and he and billy are and always will be SP!!!!!
@thegermanchannel212 Today is about whatever it makes you feel. That is what Billy wants. For him, however, from what I gather from many articles and interviews, it is about him giving up, feeling alone, and deciding to use his gift. Basically about giving up, and in, to your true feelings and letting the chips fall where they may. Hint..the lyric, pink ribbon scars will never forget... he used to cut himself because he was so lost inside. There is much this man has given the world.listen
i love The Smashing Pumpkins....Billy is a songwriting genius...and Jimmy is a a badarse drummer and person...keep it up guys!! Come to Tasmania...you can stay at mine!!
I think Jimmy is one of the best drummers I've ever heard. He seems like a genuinely good guy, even with his problems. How stupid that sounds-I don't even know him, but just an observation.
I like the pumpkins and all but I bet Billy is real fucking hard to work with. He tears people down and apart. It's obvious. Again, I love their/his music but I'm sure he's a real ass. He's the reason they made it and also the reason they couldn't grow upon their preivious successes.
U stole my words :P. One thing makes me admire Corgan is his tightness and honesty writing songs like talking for medias. Once Rolling Stone Mag asked him for his favorite band actually and he didn´t name a band from his lable neither his country. He adviced an independent band called SWAVE, giving very good comments about their song "In the future"
@TheMRious Dude, Im tired of seeing this same message on every SP vid page. ????? are you one of the dudes in Swave's girlfriend or something? I guess then it would be nice, trying to get them recognition and all. However, I have never heard Billy mention that band. I'm not saying that you are lying, I just want to hear him say it, not you. In every comment page nonetheless. What issue of RS is it in?
I love Billy Corgan and although he is by himself now because of what some might say is his ego, isent it Billy's revolutionary ambition an constantly changing styles that have allowed the pumpkins to play so long. Not many real rock bands are still doing well today but Billy has managed it. With him there it will always be the smashing pumpkins.
Ok? i do not understand where u guys r coming from? you guys r really tryin 2 find something wrong about billy . Yes during the 90s he did not have the greatest personality whith the band members. but i fell that billy has changed a looooot! and that is a big improvement 4 him. but its funny every sp fan ether likes him or really really hates him.
Smashing Pumpkins-The reason I create the music I do-Billy has always been my musical idol- I have songs on my channel if anyone wants to view and hear them---thanks,,,,,Jonathan O'Neal Moody:)
its billys band always has been always will be. BILLY alone is the genius behind the great tracks and genius is close to madness so BILLY is a little mad but you would'nt have the tunes without this. anyone can be the bass player anyone can be 2nd guitar JIMMY is truly a gifted drummer but its billys voice and writing talent who made the PUMPKINS!!! stop moaning about billy leave him alone!!!!
@CoconutsandBananas Yeah. I miss D'arcy. Even though she was pretty much just a bar chick lucky enough to have been friends w/ a genius, she was so cool. Her on bass, like, just symbolizes the nineties for me or something.
He didn't just say "no," Jimmy actually interrupted him back, Billy was about to say "no, it would be too obvious --" and then elaborate, but Jimmy was too eager to continue with his own answer. Are you sure you aren't LOOKING for something wrong with Billy?
True!. There may be many drummers who can play faster or more technical, but as far as feel goes, Jimmy can absolutely DRIVE a song like few others can.
You know something? I heard that theres a new rock band called Tinted Windows , maybe Billy and Jimmy can join that band hahaha :) and reunite with an old guitar player lol
if only Darcy can come back too ..and re-start the SP all over again :) throw out the guy from Hanson
No offense I'm the biggest fan of them both but I think I can see why Jimmy left.... Billy is discarding everything he's saying, he's probably really controlling in the studio too as I've read.
Like Jimmy stated, no bad blood. Billy's music often goes bizarre directions and while Jimmy is versatile, it isn't his style and he isn't enjoying it anymore.
ugh please not mars volta billy they are so terrible live. my friend and I saw them open for another band and he described it to me as a chipmunk engaging in intercourse with a blue whale
are you serious well ive only heard them on record they are amazin but are you serious they are THAT bad....i dont know maybe it was bad sound check or maybe just a bad day...
Everyone needs to stop bashing the pumpkins for changing their lineup and calling themselves by the same name. You guys need to look at all the band that had member changes and didnt get any hate for it. Paramore lost a guitarist, Freddy Mercury died,they were still Queen and Journey lost their singer and found a random guy on youtube! Plus Led Zeppelin might reunite without Plant and I would LOVE to see anyone bash them. You're all just mad at SP for something they couldnt control.
i have been listening to them since i was like 8 and i love them1 who cares if they arent the same band members anymore at lest billy is in it and thats all that matters. i did like their old stuff but they still play it at concerts and its kinda better i mean the new people know what they are doing . i just wannaed to say that!
Dude, why do you people come on here and bash the Pumpkins? If you don't like their music, then why are you wasting your time sharing your opinion? You don't see me going to Beyonce and Madonna sites telling you what garbage their music is! Quit ruining it for the people who actually understand the talent that's in this band. To each his own.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
He wasn't bashing the Smashing Pumpkins. He's bashing Billy's new side project that just happends to have the same name as the Smashing Pumpkins. And, where did he say anything about liking Madonna or Beyonce? You're just as stupid as Nirvana fans that tell you to go listen to rap just because you tell them Nirvana sucks (which they do).
Yup, this new music Billy's releasing is pretty trash. Viva Adore, viva the true Smashing Pumpkins.
hey i love pumpkins music , ive been a fan since jr high and they USED to make great music. but even billy's own band members cant stand him. and sorry , without james the band is not near as good as they were in the mellon collie or siamese dream era. .i will admit that billy is an astounding artist and very unique, but dont try to call yourself the pumpkins if your not the same band. they just use the name to sell their new stuff, which is nothing compared to their old stuff.
"I know a lot of our fans are puzzled by Zeitgeist. I think they wanted this massive, grandiose work, but you don't just roll out of bed after seven years without a functioning band and go back to doing that".
Zeitgeist was not a crappy album by any means. Sure its not their best, but it's still a pretty solid album. I suggest you go back and take another listen!
WHEN U R READING THIS DONT STOP OR SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN! MY NAME IS SUMMER I AM 15 YEARS OLD i have BLONDE HAIR ,MANY SCARS no NOSE OR EARS.. I AM DEAD.

billy you are inspiring to me as an artist and a future graphic designer. someday ill mention your name.
bwinchell1 2 years ago 2
U stole my words :P. One thing makes me admire Corgan is his tightness and honesty writing songs like talking for medias. Once Rolling Stone Mag asked him for his favorite band actually and he didn´t name a band from his lable neither his country. He adviced an independent band called SWAVE, giving very good comments about their song "In the future"
TheMRious 2 years ago
@TheMRious Dude, Im tired of seeing this same message on every SP vid page. ????? are you one of the dudes in Swave's girlfriend or something? I guess then it would be nice, trying to get them recognition and all. However, I have never heard Billy mention that band. I'm not saying that you are lying, I just want to hear him say it, not you. In every comment page nonetheless. What issue of RS is it in?

I love Billy Corgan and although he is by himself now because of what some might say is his ego, isent it Billy's revolutionary ambition an constantly changing styles that have allowed the pumpkins to play so long. Not many real rock bands are still doing well today but Billy has managed it. With him there it will always be the smashing pumpkins.

BILLY alone is the genius behind the great tracks and genius is close to madness so BILLY is a little mad but you would'nt have the tunes without this. anyone can be the bass player anyone can be 2nd guitar JIMMY is truly a gifted drummer but its billys voice and writing talent who made the PUMPKINS!!! stop moaning about billy leave him alone!!!!

I'm a pumpkins fan and this video breaks my heart... billy is so pretentious and puts jimmy down so much, I can totally understand why jimmy left.
It also makes me feel that nothing good is coming next... maybe billy's next project will be another adore ??? and jimmy said "hell no"...
I hated when jimmy said "pink floyd" and billy just said to him "no".
WTF ? RESPECT YOUR FELLOW MUSICIANS BILLY, THAT'S WHY EVERYONE HAS LEFT.
Good luck to Jimmy, you're the best drummer I've ever heard !

Like Jimmy stated, no bad blood. Billy's music often goes bizarre directions and while Jimmy is versatile, it isn't his style and he isn't enjoying it anymore.
Billy: "... to be covered by Bach
Jimmy: (pause with stare) "right".... (sarcastic)
Jimmy: "or Pink Floyd"
Billy: (pause with stare) "no".

Everyone needs to stop bashing the pumpkins for changing their lineup and calling themselves by the same name. You guys need to look at all the band that had member changes and didnt get any hate for it. Paramore lost a guitarist, Freddy Mercury died,they were still Queen and Journey lost their singer and found a random guy on youtube! Plus Led Zeppelin might reunite without Plant and I would LOVE to see anyone bash them. You're all just mad at SP for something they couldnt control.

Dude, why do you people come on here and bash the Pumpkins? If you don't like their music, then why are you wasting your time sharing your opinion? You don't see me going to Beyonce and Madonna sites telling you what garbage their music is! Quit ruining it for the people who actually understand the talent that's in this band. To each his own.

He wasn't bashing the Smashing Pumpkins. He's bashing Billy's new side project that just happends to have the same name as the Smashing Pumpkins. And, where did he say anything about liking Madonna or Beyonce? You're just as stupid as Nirvana fans that tell you to go listen to rap just because you tell them Nirvana sucks (which they do).
Yup, this new music Billy's releasing is pretty trash. Viva Adore, viva the true Smashing Pumpkins.

hey i love pumpkins music , ive been a fan since jr high and they USED to make great music. but even billy's own band members cant stand him. and sorry , without james the band is not near as good as they were in the mellon collie or siamese dream era. .i will admit that billy is an astounding artist and very unique, but dont try to call yourself the pumpkins if your not the same band. they just use the name to sell their new stuff, which is nothing compared to their old stuff.
