i dont know...maybe you thinks its ciche because might it be only his style repeating? give the man a break, they dont even have their first album out yet and your already giving up on them. its a whole new band but what are you expecting?

What's wrong with seeing a band when you or they are in their 50's? I don't see why someone seeing a reunion tour would be so pathetic, it's only a day out of their entire life. You have a rather bleak view of old age. Of course, on a similer side thought, I wonder in The Who play "My Generation" on their reunion tour.

Well, despite the fact they are a new band, they are all established musicians and if they aren't making good music now there is a good chance that they never will. I wouldn't expect the difference in Zwan's first album to the second one to be the same sort of difference seen from Gish to Siamese Dream.

I hope they don't get back together. My best guess is that they will at some point, probably without D'arcy, and I'll go see them and feel like a chump.

soundopinions.net has all the 2002 shows on the web. They said they'll post the most requested shows from past years, but they can't put everything up due to limited webspace. We should request the Billy and Jimmy one.

but they were all diffrent musicians who re used to doing their own style of music and i think that they still need to get used to each other. i guess im just more of an optimist

i would be completely disappointed if they did a reunion..i would enjoy it if billy kept his word for once. all of the pumpkins-haters could then say "I told you so." yes, i would give up on the pumpkins if they got back together.

how can you give up on someone that gave up on you?

Who gives a fuck about a reunion tour?

If I wanted them together, I would want new CDs and everything.

No matter how experienced a group of musicians are, it takes time to write good quality songs and get those songs up to par performance-wise. Billy's first songs back in 1988 were not of the same caliber of the songs he wrote in 1991... so why will it be different from 2001 to 2004?
