You all are absolutely right !!! Smashing Pumpkins are a great live band.
I was frustrated at the time about SO many people comparing SSPU to the Pumpkins that I had to speak my mind. I did see them 4 times in the 90s and I got one solid performance from the original lineup. Whether it was Corgan walking off stage b/c of sound issues or band issues ( 2 different shows, both incidents happened to me) I mean no disrespect to the band, but I think they sound tighter now than they did in the 90s.
Why the fuck does it matter that a bunch of idiots have compared them to the Pumpkins? They are two completely different bands. The Pumpkin's influence is obviously present in the Silversun Pickups, but let's cut this "who's better" bullshit out. Also, I don't know where the hell you were during the 90's but the Pumpkins rocked the shit out of arenas all around the world.
And for the record, Silversun Pickups IS a tight band. Definitely one of the best around today.

SSPU are a fucking great band, but please how the FUCK can you say SP didn't manage to make it live, you've never seen them live then...
Long live to SSPU AND the Pumpkins

"Supersonic?" Interesting. Makes me crave a gin and tonic.
