i grew up on the Pumpkins......still love them...but I love the pre Adore Pumpkins....everything after MCIS has been a novelty act of their early awesomeness.
Tristess was ALWAYS fucking cool.....I get so sick of hearing people at show yelling out "Play Cherub rock." Fans made me hate that song and I rock the shit out of that song on Acoustic. It used to be my favorite.
I just saw you here in Lima Peru and you are a BEAST you are a really incredible drummer!!! I hope you enjoyed Lima. come back soon!! Smashing Pumpkins you rock!
You made Ava Adore and Tristessa cool again Mike! Love you, I really wish you didnt join the band on my birthday, I'll never be able to get over that.
saw your show last night in seattle and i was immediately blown away. googled you this morning to find out more and am further impressed! what a fantastic story....19...macdonalds....humble and gracious attitude during the audition.....and then..chosen!.... you more than deserve to carry this historic band into the next phase. as a long-time fan of the band i can't think of anyone else more deserving of this position. hope to see much more of you in the future.
OK time for me to own up. This is one of the songs that I've been trying forever to figure out how to play on a single kick pedal. Also up until now I've had an illogical resentment towards you for being in the Pumpkins when I thought I should be in. Chalk that up to pure jealousy.
This is the video that changed my entire perspective on you. You're freaking amazing, and although I've been worshipping Jimmy Chamberlin like mad, you have my respect. Rock on sir, I'd like to shake your hand :)
Y'know, I was worried when Jimmy left the Pumpkins again. Then I heard this version of Tristessa. Damn, this IS the Smashing Pumpkins. Great stuff.
There's actually a rawness and direct quality that's been missing from the Pumpkins for years on this show as well. That's not really to do with the new line-up, perhaps Billy's general attitude. And no wacky dresses.
Amazing job Mr. Byrne! You guys are simply on fire, and the energy of the band is fantastic! I love your style, it's like nothing I've heard, but it fits really well with the music!
Wikipedia says MarquisinSpadez is Mike Byrnes youtube acount...
Did some douche edit that or is it true? :\
