I agree completely with your guns and roses comment but that doesn't hold true to these guys. Billy justifies it well through his newer songs and what the name actually means to him. Plus, unlike axl, he wrote most of the songs.
@lordofengmar too much semi - screaming for 20 years on tour. That would do it to him!! lol! Especially songs like bullet with butterfly wings/ zero/ geek USA/...
it's not important whether this is the new smashing pumpkins.. what matters is the songs are still on.....afterall everything changes but still it is good as new. rock on guys!!
i'm not trying to be a mindless disapprover of changes and changing, but that guy lacks all the grace jimmy has on the kit. the verse isn't supposed to be backbeat mashing of the hi-hat but intricate 8th note massaging.. to put it queerly
@TheKanonHara its a shame really, yah its 100% her fault but no one really deserves this were all human,
granted its her mistake so shes paying for it, hopefully she will turn her life around when she gets out, im sure people will probably blame this on corgon despite this drug addiction existing for so long now, granted what dont people blame on corgon, im expecting people to blame cancer on the guy
I'm really tired of people hating on Mike Byrne. He's got more skill than I could ever hope to have. I doubt Billy would pick a young kid out of all the amazing, seasoned drummers that tried out, if he wasn't amazing. Jimmy is irreplaceable, and I guarantee Mike will tell you that right off. But he's not trying to replace him. Let him do his thing, haters cause he's doing it a heck of a lot better than you would be.
This new drummer sucks. He don't play the part in cut time on the high hat and rimshots like Jimmy did. It sounds like shit the way he plays it. And the tempo is too fast. As a drummer I have to say I miss Jimmy Chamberlain.
@necropolis3110 dude, he literally plays the rimshot part exactly the way jimmy chamberlain played it. like, note for note. I thought that when i watched the video, and then i went back and checked to make sure. also, who cares! John bonham didn't play black dog (or most of the zeppelin songs) the same way live as he did in the studio, and that didn't bother anyone. Mike byrne is a different dude, and he plays it a little differently, but BASICALLY THE SAME.

@necropolis3110 yeah me too. Billy never had to find a monster drummer like Jimmy. Anyway I like living the past, the present and the future of SP. By the way, when I met Billy Corgan in 2010, I gave him a record of my band that has a mix of old & fresh sound and he adored it (pls. don´t miss the "in the future" video in my channel) BEST REGARDS! :)
i dont know if its the sound but i dont sense the same feelings that i used to feel when i hear former performance. The SP's flame is fading slowly... its a shame that jimmy darcy james melissa or ginger will not return :(
@equinocio68 si, esto fue en la gira en q tb vinieron a Colombia, en la cual aproveché para pasarle un cd d mi banda a Billy Corgan y le encató. Pf pillate al menos el video d in the future" en mi canal para q veas q no miento :D Saludos!

I was just watching the same song from a performance in Germany, 1997. D'arcy looked bored, James looked like he hated life, and Jimmy had left and been replaced with that horrible Kenny Aronoff and a percussionist. Mike was still in Kindergarten at that time. Then I saw the new lineup in Tucson last year... WOW. Talk about a rebirth. Thank God for the new lineup. Seriously. I love a little FEELING and PASSION in my music, and they bring that to the table.
I don't care what anyone says, Mike Byrne is fucking great and yes, it's a shame that Chamberlin suddenly left the SP but I envy this kid, fucking dedicated musician with full talent that's living the dream. I salute you, Mike Byrne!
The drums are alright but its not the same,,,, its not even close really. . . . I am really torn when I see something like this,, I am really glad to see these songs still have a life but at the same time if you can't produce them with the old magic maybe its best to leave it in the memory.
Billy tried to bring the old members back for the reunion but James Iha, Darcy Wretzky, and Melissa Auf Der Maur (her solo music is great check it out if you haven't already) said they didn't want to come back. In 2009 Jimmy Chamberlain (The Jimmy Chamberlain Complex was great, Skysaw is horrible)left because a fortuneteller told him he would be better off making his own music. They left him and that gives him the right to continue on as the soul surviver of The Smashing Pumpkins.
@thedrummerdude777 It was in Hipster United, and it was also on the pumpkins . net. I was taken by surprise too, it was hard to believe anyone would listen to a fortuneteller in this day and age. I really like Mike Byrne though because he bring a new energy to the live shows and he's also a Jazz and Latin Music drummer like Jimmy Chamberlain is.
@nicholsjoshua15 I like Mike Byrne because he went from flipping burgers to Smashing Pumpkins. The guy is basically the same age as I am and he's living the dream
@nicholsjoshua15 yes but they are substantially worse now....they essentially are not the pumpkins we all know and love...its the Billy Corgan project now
New drummer is shite. Why employ some kid to replace one of rocks greatest drummers? Smashing Pumpkins was barely hanging in there with just Billy and Jimmy, now SP is dead and buried, an extinct dinosaur rolling along. Start some new solo projects Billy, don't insult what SP was...
man, his voice really changed.....
