I didn't know her that well, I remember she was kind of quiet, but she was in the same social circles as me.

Dennis Nedry · 04-02-2015, 03:40 PM

Just throwing these out off the top of my head

Team Sleep
The Joy Formidable
Ume
Minus The Bear
Circa Survive

Also, fucking Gin Blossoms? Are you high? Or just braindead? That'd be like Tonic opening for Radiohead. Gin Blossoms (and Tonic) are a fine band in their own way, but clash with the whole aesthetic presented by Smashing Pumpkins. I mean, come on. I don't think anybody in Gin Blossoms is about to go out on stage in a shirt 2x too small for them, gut and coin-slot hanging out. Do you?

reprise85 · 04-02-2015, 04:19 PM

i like gin blossoms but i wouldnt pay to see them live

Ihaguitar · 04-02-2015, 05:12 PM

The Breeders
Avril Lavigne

Elphenor · 04-02-2015, 07:33 PM

Edit:

You beat me to it

The Breeders

Mals Marola · 09:41 PM

how about just a supergroup of Kim Deal, Kim Gordon, Kim Thayill, & Kim Catrall? call it the "Provocative Kims" see what kind of supershit they can talk & accordingly stir up in pumpkins camp united

now there is a show

pavementtune · 04-02-2015, 09:39 PM

with the current line-up, maybe Garbage as opener (because nostalgia and I was born too late.)

Dream choice would be an all acoustic evening, starting with PJ Harvey, then two songs with both of them, then Corgan playing whatever (SP/Zwan/solo) acoustic.

I'm talking about feasible bands that would likely join SP on tour. Of course I could ring off bands like "Radiohead"... But theres no way in hell that they would ever drop to a level of touring with Billy Corgan.

Gin Blossoms is a band that Billy could easily sign up for a tour and they'd be a band that I and a bunch of the SP community would love to see.

fuzzyroes · 04-02-2015, 10:20 PM

I know I emphasized the "hypothetical" aspect.

But I was still hoping that people would think about this question with a little bit of realism in their minds.

Elphenor · 04-02-2015, 10:23 PM

Feasibly no good band would tour with Billy

fuzzyroes · 04-02-2015, 10:45 PM

Gin Blossoms would

and comeon this is onea the best songs of the 90's

Spira|_ · 04-02-2015, 11:05 PM

Boy George (DJ set)

Trotskilicious · 04-02-2015, 11:51 PM

two pages before someone said the joy formidable

reprise85 · 04-02-2015, 11:55 PM

i take back what i said about liking the gin blossoms. i was thinking of a different band.

i mean found out about you is pretty good. other than that idgaf

reprise85 · 04-02-2015, 11:57 PM

how about Hum

houseofglass11 · 04-03-2015, 12:18 AM

NOTHING
Whirr
Swervedriver (again)
No Joy

Catherine Wheel · 04-03-2015, 12:50 AM

Tonic were much better than Gin Blossoms.

fuzzyroes · 04-03-2015, 12:58 AM

hahaha Yeah... NO.

Catherine Wheel · 04-03-2015, 01:03 AM

Werent the Gin Blossoms basically just a rip off of R.E.M.? Tonic kind of had their own sound at times at least.

fuzzyroes · 04-03-2015, 01:08 AM

Uhhh, I fail to see how Gin Blossoms ripped off REM... I don't hear it... AT ALL

Catherine Wheel · 04-03-2015, 01:11 AM

You don't hear REM in the Gin Blossom's sound? Are you fucking serious? You must be a troll. REM is probably their biggest influence.

fuzzyroes · 04-03-2015, 01:14 AM

they're perhaps a small influence... But it's not one of those bands where you hear them and think: "OH, JUST ANOTHER REM RIP OFF".

They're much more introspective and personal than a group like REM ever was.

Catherine Wheel · 04-03-2015, 01:20 AM

Tonic left much more of an impression on me than the Gin Blossoms ever did. They were just kind of dull and boring not to mention more derivative. Tonic came off as more emotive and intense. Compare something like "Casual Affair" or "If You Could Only See" with anything Gin Blossoms did.

i mean i dont hear the similarity much personally but lol @ your last line... rem wasnt as introspective and personal as the gin blossoms, eh?

Mals Marola · 04-03-2015, 01:49 AM

the gin blossoms might as well have been the band who wrote "kiss me," because honestly I get all those 90s-as-fuck-kinda-flowery-pop-bands mixed up all the fuckin time

You can throw REM into that pile. Jangle pop is such a boring sub genre of rock.

Elphenor · 04-03-2015, 02:31 AM

Jangle Pop is fantastic you're just listening to the wrong bands

And fuck no you can't throw REM into the same pile as Gin blossoms

Mals Marola · 04-03-2015, 02:49 AM

yyyeeah i think i could hazard a guess r.e.m. were a bit more defined (or refined, prhps!) than "Sixpence None the Richer"

holy shit, imagine agreeing with about 4 other people that that was the best thing to call yourselves on a longterm basis

OY, SIXPENCE... NONE THE RICHA!
