What instrument do you guys think will start off the new album? Guitars, drums, synths...?

organ

all of them. ever.

wait, not the synths.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say guitar.

i'm going to have to go with feedback.

Feedback is not an instrument can't you read.

trumpets.

Feedback is not an instrument can't you read.

if you control it and know how to use it, it can be.

the tv buzzing on mute mode can be an instrument.

okay, feedback from a guitar. you win.

PIANO!!!!!! :cry:

What instrument do you guys think will start off the new album? Guitars, drums, synths...?

Machine guns, they're an instrument of sorts, and they make for a fine listen.

a voice recorder.

FU POS

billy doing a solo singing part, Everlasting Gaze-esque, causing millions of netphorians to immediately destroy their disks

oboe

I'm fascinated with Lorenzo's response

I think he's trying his hardest to imagine an album he's going to love, maybe one with really bitchin' guitar solos and the like, but something is preventing him from imagining that perfect record

Instead, some manifestation of his darkest fears drives him to hear the album starting with a wimpy piano part

I send this smile over to you, Lorenzo, my heart reaches out to yours

May your heart be calm and your guitars bitchin'

a sea of fuzz bass







.

the intro will be a 30 second drum solo that transitions perfectly into the first song. cause if billy is serious about this thing he needs to realise that if anything he's not working jimmy hard enough. every song need to sounds like he's trying to top the drums on cash car star.

all of them. ever.
it will be the greatest sound known to man. ever.

No matter how good Jim's parts are in the studio, he'll certainly be able to blow them out of the water in a live setting. :) So my guess is drums!

every song need to sounds like he's trying to top the drums on cash car star.
no, the great thing about jimmy is he doesn't need to show off

I'm thinking surely it will be a harmonica, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,no,,,,,,,,,,,,wait,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,t ambourines..................errr.................. ...............bongos. That's it! It's gonna be nothing but fucking bongos from track 1 through 14.

It will be a cut and screwed version of "Raindrops and Sunshowers." Not an instrument but whatever.

no, the great thing about jimmy is he doesn't need to show off

he doesnt NEED to. but when he does, he doesnt even need billy to burn the lies off peoples souls.

I really hope he gets extended, Bonham-style drum solos on this tour...

wicked pick slide.
gibson 335.
layered over guitar melody

classic corgan.
mmmm aliteration...

james iha screaming like a girl

white noize

it'll be a laser... burning the lies off of ours and everyone else's very souls.

pip farting on a snare drum
ha

it'll be a washboard. Like some cokney rag and bone man. This album is a Steptoe and Son concept. Billy is the Dad.

I'm sure it'll be Billy giving the listener a lecture about how important this music is to him, and even though they bought the CD, and are in their own home or car, they should shut the fuck up and be respectful.

If he hears any talking or shenanigans he will remotely delete the remaining contents on the disc and make you buy it again.

I don't know wich instrument will start the album
but definately this instrument must play the
seventh musical note B first of all.

Don't you think ;)

Spoken word intro by Corgan:


"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life. Electric word, life. It means forever and that's a mighty long time. But I'm here to tell you there's something else - the afterworld. A world of never-ending happiness. You can always see the sun, day or night. So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills, you know the one, Dr. Everything'll-Be-All-right, instead of asking him how much of your time is left, ask him how much of your mind, baby. 'Cause in this life, things are much harder than in the afterworld. This life you're on your own. And if de-elevator tries to bring you down, go crazy - punch a higher floor."

"In ancient times, hundreds of years before the dawn of history, an ancient race of people... the Druids. No one knows who they were or what they were doing..."

the sound of failure!

30 seconds of silence, giving way to slowing building pan flute, the accordion kicks in...

generic metal riff

I don't know wich instrument will start the album
but definately this instrument must play the
seventh musical note B first of all.

Don't you think ;)

that depends on which key you're in.

C# major (seven sharps) but tuned down a half-step, i should think.

C organ ....?

the sound of failure!

the sound of dignity

the sound of music?

anal sex.

Drums. I think they're going to take it back to how they first started: Jimmy on a kickdrum, then layers of guitar, one by one.

Drums, for sure.

skin flute

the sound of dignity

The sound of dignity flying out of the window.

god i hope the album doesnt reek of "we are the pumpkins and we are BACK!"

btw, ??? i find your avatar offensive, and im not joking

I'm fascinated with Lorenzo's response

But what if it's the sound of Jimmy belly-flopping onto the floor piano from Big, run backwards and fed through the gain stages of every amp Billy has ever recorded with and piped through a PA into a room full of gongs which all begin to resonate and feed back into the amps?

Wasn't that the opening chord of Hard Day's Night?

C# major (seven sharps) but tuned down a half-step, i should think.

Are you sure it's not A# minor? That would more suit the gloomy mood of the pumpkins...

So you can confirm that Strawberry is in the band then?

god i hope the album doesnt reek of "we are the pumpkins and we are BACK!"

I disagree. I remember the first time I heard the Everlasting Gaze, which I think was a song meant to epitomize the "return to rock" everyone was hoping for and say loud and clear that Jimmy was back and ready to rock. I thought that Machina would be the greatest fucking album ever if all the other songs had a similar feel. But they didn't. I think the Pumpkins have always been at their best when they think they have something to prove. And at this point, they need to come out and prove that they're the Pumpkins and that they're back...

is the crack pipe considered a wind insturment?

It's a sample taken from Billy's personal mini-cassette recorder (think: TAFH). It's a whispered cryptic message that loops 7 times and is shrouded in white noise and tape hiss... this is overcome by bleeding guitar feedback that builds with relentless tom rolls from Jimmy into a wall of death rock madness that lasts 77 seconds and then- abrupt silence. Out of the silence Billy screams "I AM THE ZEITGEIST!" ...

Darcy snorting a line off of the mixing board.

although, it'd be cool I think billy will shy away form the greatful dead casey jones thing

anal sex.

yeah :sexors:
