JIMMY'S BACK!!!!!
 

He swore us to secrecy (LOL), but Billy just announced during the encore of tonight's St. Louis show that starting with the Manson shows...

JIMMY CHAMBERLAIN IS BACK ON DRUMS.

Jimmy Chamberlin Rejoins SP for Tour

This indeed warrants its own thread.

May the celebration begin.

YEAHHHHHHHH

this put a smile on my face. good to have jimmy back, even if it's for the tour only.

If Corgan is just calling whomever he's working with at a given time "The Smashing Pumpkins," hopefully versions of that with Chamberlin are frequent. I mean, they can't be all that frequent, what with Chamberlin's company and all, but hopefully it happens more than a couple times.

guys this is crazy ur not gonna belive this!!!! sp had no drums so bily talked abt ji
 

thank you for coming.

"I've been working in my studio on some of the new stuff"

DROOL. Imagine Jimmy on the Monuments stuff.

bring back Melissa!!!

jeff? who is jeff?

I guess we all knew it would eventually happen. Maybe poor album sales and overall "meh" reception to new Pumpkins has humbled Billy a bit and he has realized he needs Jimmy.

Either way, really stoked.

Cannot FUCKING believe I'm looking up Pumpkins tour tickets in 20 fucking 15s

Goddamnit Billy I'm doing this under duress, do you understand, duress

I'm sad for Jimmy.

do I really want to spend $100 plus ticketmaster fees to see JC open for Manson?

I had decided to skip this tour, but now I feel compelled to once again give bill my time and money

Where's Ram27

so he will be recording for the new album for sure?

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

Idiot. Go join a band that's good.

I love that Jimmy was Billy's second choice.

This is truly fucking excellent.

Yeah this Manson stuff is weird goth bullshit and James and D'arcy were 50% of the soul of the band and yeah this might overlegitimatize what's going on now but still HOLY FUCKING SHIT JIMMY'S BACK

That's fucking incredible. I started to get into SP and started to play drums in 2011. Since that time I've grown to revere JC as an incredible drummer, but not until today have I experienced a day where my favorite drummer was in my favorite band.

This is fucking awesome.

Fuck yeah.

Fuck yeah.

Yeah, I don't get why Jimmy doesn't play with better songwriters. For all his time in the music industry, he doesn't appear to have made contacts with good musicians. He could be a guy like Jim White, whose main band was Dirty Three, but who also played with Will Oldham, Bill Callahan, Cat Power, PJ Harvey, etc.

too little, too late
white van
jazz fusion
heart attack
drum machine

He is going to beat the shit out of Tiberius, in a very jazzy, JC way.

This is gonna be great

I wonder what his setup will be for the tour since he's been playing jazz stuff for a while and now he's endorsed by Sakae drums.

i must say it kinda surprises me how riled up people are about this..

are you people still into this band? i mean SERIOUSLY?

yeah this excitement is lamer than billy's musical output

that would make it like HELLA lame

i enjoyed this tho
