A band from the 90's is back 07:48 - Jul 4 with 1981 viewsTummer_from_Texas

Smashing Pumpkins always started and ended with everyone with the tortued, nihilistic genius/wierdness of Corgan. An acquired taste, no doubt.

But the underrated aspect of these icons is the manic percussion of one Jimmy Chamberlain, drummer. Talent in the neighborhood of Moon, Bonham, and Peart. And sounding pretty damn good still in his 50's.

Typical garage band drummer, trying to sound like Dave Grohl.

You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don't help.

a bit unfair as they were contemporaries of Nirvana. 'Gish' was our several months ahead of 'Nevermind' where Grohl made his debut. Drumming on songs like 'Cherub Rock' is exemplary though I find Corgan a bit whiny at times. Quite like '1979' as a song though.

They were far more musical than Nivana. My observation, not comparison, was fair.

IMO, Smashing Pumpkins = Seattle Grunge + Fleetwood Mac.

I'm not a big Fleetwood Mac fan, but it worked.

First two albums were superb.

Mellon Collie so so.

Lost interest after that.

Billy Corgan is a weapons grade tw*t.

Liked their music me. Was getting a bit tired whilst trying to conceive my first, so put their music on to help with the rhythm.

Pumpkins were in Dallas last night.

31 song setlist! Lasted over 3 hours. 9th time I've seen The Pumpkins, Billy Corgan solo, or his other band Zwan. At 51, he's still got it. Melinda thinks tonight should count twice lol.

Can't disagree with any of that

Always had a soft spot for the drumming on this track back in the day, particularly during the outro from around 4.28.



Fave was this one



Sounded like he was taking a drill to the guitar during the solo. Lovely.

If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face--forever.

Good choices, especially Soma. I'll have to put both albums back in the car.

My personal favourite.
