Sad Day in Rock & Roll...

[eRock]

Tonight is the last show Smashing Pumkins will play EVER. The band will be no more after tonight...

On a much funnier note, word around the campfire is Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins singer) is talkin' about getting into acting. That should be....ummmmmm...interesting.

it sux! but you never know... smashing pumpkins broke up before, and i have the guitar player magazine to prove it!

they may be back...

i'm gonna miss rage against the machine in the original form!

Smashing Pumpkins had three good releases: Lull, Gish, and Siameise Dreams. As far as I'm concerned, and a vast majority of their fans, they've been broken up since then.

And those albums ARE made to perfection.

Picese Iscarrot was pretty good too, (forgot about the b-sides)

Billy Corgan was the creative force behind the Pumkins. a Shame they split and a bigger one Billy will give up music...

Basschick, you play? I've been playing for a few years, in the local club scene, shoot me up an ICQ when you want to talk music http://adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

billy may come back to music... after all the anger in the band, and all the touring and problems with sharon osborne, maybe he just needs a break. i would!

yeah, i play - fast punk and hard metal! and i've worked on some other stuff for people who paid me. been known to even jam on *gasp* jazz.

If Billy Corgan Becomes an actor, he'll make a great Gollum, he looks like Karloff anyway http://adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/wink.gif jajajajaja

i made a mistake guys...it's actually saturday is their last show. Last night was just their last big show.

As far as that Sharon Osborne thing, my partner used to work w/ the pumpkins former road manager & from what I understand Billy's a total prick. For Sharon Osborne having to deal w/ rock star egos all the time & still dumping the Pumpkins, he must be pretty bad. They were playin' their live show last night on the radion, live & he pretty much admitted he was like that to the audience.

Awesome you guys play! I also used to play drums in the metal/punk/waked-out-rock scene here for 6 - 7 years. My drums got stolen & bein' the smart guy I am never had insurance on 'em. So, that pretty much ended that...
