I have tickets to see Smashing Pumpkins two weeks tomorrow in London and I'm so excited . It's their only proper UK show and it's a tiny venue (only 2000 capacity). I have a ticket for my letter brother too as a surprise There's some ace videos up on Youtube with footage of some of the shows they've done so far. Looks fantastic Anyone else a fan? Probably not.. :cry:
Congrats... I have not been able to see them live But I LOVE their music. Also... I think they are playing in london in july at the live earth concert
They are all great songs, but I particularly like Disarm I knew they were playing Leeds & Reading, but I've been to both a couple of time and was really unimpressed. Unless you sit in front of the stage all day, you can barely see anything when the decent bands come on. Plus, the Pumpkins were the only band I wanted to see from this year's lineup. I was regretting not getting tickets though as it didn't seem that SP were going to announce any UK dates.. Until last week . *Dances*.
It's too bad James Iha never rejoined the band. I kinda think it's because Billy Corgan is too much of an ego maniac. I mean the entire Meloncholy and the Infinite Sadness album made him sound like Jesus or something.
All geniuses have ego problems sooner or later. Happened to the Beatles, and to a lesser extent, Spinal Tap. I really, really like Siamese Dream. Really. You have no idea how many times I have listened to this album.
