i'm giving everyone here 7 days to find out who is in the band, someone here knows something, it's personally driving me insane, and i can't sleep eat or work anymore until i know, so to the first person who finds out who is in the band, i'll make you some neat smashing pumpkins stickers and send them out.

Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlin, and Not Telling. It's a three piece.

Billy and Jimmy. then some touring members. why does everyone assume that there are more band members? has there ever been any indication that there are more members than those two?

i agree with steve holt. there is no need for a band until they scheduled their touring. possibly billy and jimmy don't know who's gonna be in the touring band yet either.
i honestly don't know why this topic is such abig deal, it has no influence on the album AT ALL.

I can tell you who's in the band. The final member is.... You.

The "Great Man" theory of history is usually attributed to the Scottish philosopher Thomas Carlyle, who wrote that "the history of the world is but the biography of great men." He believed that it is the few, the powerful and the famous who shape our collective destiny as a species. That theory took a serious beating this year.

To be sure, there are individuals we could blame for the many painful and disturbing things that happened in 2006. The conflict in Iraq only got bloodier and more entrenched. A vicious skirmish erupted between Israel and Lebanon. A war dragged on in Sudan. A tin-pot dictator in North Korea got the Bomb, and the President of Iran wants to go nuclear too. Meanwhile nobody fixed global warming, and Sony didn't make enough PlayStation3s.

But look at 2006 through a different lens and you'll see another story, one that isn't about conflict or great men. It's a story about community and collaboration on a scale never seen before. It's about the cosmic compendium of knowledge Wikipedia and the million-channel people's network YouTube and the online metropolis MySpace. It's about the many wresting power from the few and helping one another for nothing and how that will not only change the world, but also change the way the world changes.

The tool that makes this possible is the World Wide Web. Not the Web that Tim Berners-Lee hacked together (15 years ago, according to Wikipedia) as a way for scientists to share research. It's not even the overhyped dotcom Web of the late 1990s. The new Web is a very different thing. It's a tool for bringing together the small contributions of millions of people and making them matter. Silicon Valley consultants call it Web 2.0, as if it were a new version of some old software. But it's really a revolution.

And we are so ready for it. We're ready to balance our diet of predigested news with raw feeds from Baghdad and Boston and Beijing. You can learn more about how Americans live just by looking at the backgrounds of YouTube videos those rumpled bedrooms and toy-strewn basement rec rooms than you could from 1,000 hours of network television.

And we didn't just watch, we also worked. Like crazy. We made Facebook profiles and Second Life avatars and reviewed books at Amazon and recorded podcasts. We blogged about our candidates losing and wrote songs about getting dumped. We camcordered bombing runs and built open-source software.

America loves its solitary geniuses its Einsteins, its Edisons, its Jobses but those lonely dreamers may have to learn to play with others. Car companies are running open design contests. Reuters is carrying blog postings alongside its regular news feed. Microsoft is working overtime to fend off user-created Linux. We're looking at an explosion of productivity and innovation, and it's just getting started, as millions of minds that would otherwise have drowned in obscurity get backhauled into the global intellectual economy.

Who are these people? Seriously, who actually sits down after a long day at work and says, I'm not going to watch Lost tonight. I'm going to turn on my computer and make a movie starring my pet iguana? I'm going to mash up 50 Cent's vocals with Queen's instrumentals? I'm going to blog about my state of mind or the state of the nation or the steak-frites at the new bistro down the street? Who has that time and that energy and that passion?

The answer is, you do. And for seizing the reins of the global media, for founding and framing the new digital democracy, for working for nothing and beating the pros at their own game, Billy Corgan's Person of the Year for 2006 is you.

i think "who" is in the album, is the only influence on the album... if it was just billy, it would be adore part 2, if it were billy and james, it would be country, if it were billy and melissa, it would be some kind of space progressive rock, with billy and jimmy it's going to rock your face off, i'm just a little worried that we're going to lose the loud soft dynamic, and everything else that IS the pumpkins.

They should let Melissa record some vocals. I would like to hear her sing some naughty lyrics that have been worked over by BC (so they don't sound so dumb).

Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlain, Jimmy Flemion and Dennis Flemion I would feel good about playing the old stuff.

Here's a video of the frogs on stage w/ b0llZ on Lollapalooza tour, fuck they're so funny, trying to rip off Billy's shirt, screaming in his face. They seemed like they were friends :) ...dumbass 90's teenagers rocking out to hilarious rendition of 'Miss World'
