Smashing Pumpkins

[Corvian]

It's no secret that Billy Corgan is a great guitar player, but now that there will be drums in the game you just simply have to have the Pumpkins because of Jimmy Chamberlin ... one of the greatest drummers on the face of the earth. So any Pumpkins song would be great.  BTW: If it's true what everybody who has heared it already writes then their new album "Zeitgeist" which will be released in July will blow our socks off.

CHERUB ROCK (would be great as one of the easier songs, maybe)!

<p>Jimmy Chamberlin ... one of the greatest drummers on the face of the earth.</p><p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>QFT.&nbsp;
Although I'm skeptical of Zeitgeist, as Iha has not been confirmed to
actually be back in the band.&nbsp; In that case, we may just be
getting a rehashed Zwan, which I wasn't crazy about in the first
place.&nbsp; I just haven't been all that impressed by Corgan's
songwriting for awhile.&nbsp; But being a complete Smashing Pumpkins
basketcase, I still have to hold out hope :)&nbsp;</p>

<P>James Iha said he's not coming back!!! Which is upsetting...</P>

<P>So, yeah, in terms of band members, it's almost Zwan V.2, but hopefully the sound will be more of a return to the Smashing&nbsp;Pumpkins...</P>
<P>What's your favourite work / album&nbsp;by the Pumpkins?</P>

[Corvian]

<p>Zwan was not Zwan because Iha wasn't in but because of the other members and because of what Billy wanted to do with the band. So I wouldn't worry.</p><p>I mean, Siamese Dream was also done almost without Iha (and Darcy) and turned out to be the best SP album (for me at least)&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;The people who say that the new Album kicks a** know what theya are talking about so I can't wait for Zeitgeist.&nbsp; :)<br></p>

I think if Billy's confident enough with what he's done to call the band "The Smashing Pumpkins" again, then it should be brilliant...

[HmxGeoff]

Yep, i'll definitely be picking it up.&nbsp; At the very least, i get to see them tour again :)<br>

Wouldnt Zero be the best song for Rock band? (maybe im just thinkin of that soley cuz of the guitar)

You're probably right, although personally I'd love to see Jellybelly...

Ok guys now it's obvious that the new Pumpkins album (Zeitgeist) will blow us away: Tarantula, the first single was finally played in full length on radio (not only the stupid 30 second teaser) and it rocks, I mean it REALLY rocks!!

listen to it here:

Now I am for Tarantula as the Smashing Pumpkins Guitar Hero song :)

[Jabberwocky]

Oh yes...the Smashing Pumpkins are back. :D

[Corvian]

Spinner has a better quality version up:

And yeah they are back .. with a vengeance... and this time it's personal ;)

[Jabberwocky]

I love it more and more with every listen...hopefully they'll play it on tuesday, should be brilliant live...

The 9 Asheville concerts were sold out within a few minutes.

That's when it finally worked yesterday on ticketmaster. The initial sale on ticketweb turned out to be a disaster because so many people tried to get tickets, that their whole system crashed. They weren't able to do anything that helped for 7 hours. That's when they decided to stop it and restart it the next day ;)

I was lucky and got tickets. Can't wait.

But since Rock Band will be the better of the two games I would LOVE to see a Pumpkins song in this game as well.

So please use a Smashing Pumpkins song in the game .. doesn't have to be the smae. Ther are tons of songs that would work.. Tarantula, Bullet with Butterfly Wings, Today, Doomsday Clock, ...

[punkette]

yeah i agree plz plz harmonix smashing pumpkins;)
