About The Smashing Pumpkins:

The Smashing Pumpkins have created one of the most acclaimed bodies of work in musical history and sold over 30 million albums. Formed in Chicago in 1988, they released Gish, their influential (and platinum) debut in 1991, which was followed by more platinum and multi-platinum albums including the nine-time platinum Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness and the four-time platinum Siamese Dream as well as the platinum certified 1998 album Adore. The pivotal group’s many hits defined the alternative music era and continue to resonate on modern rock radio, influencing a whole new generation. The Pumpkins returned in 2007 with their gold-certified and acclaimed sixth album Zeitgeist, which entered the charts in July at Number 2 in the U.S. and in the Top Ten internationally. Since their triumphant return to the stage in 2007, the Pumpkins have headlined some of the biggest events around the globe including the Reading Festival, Rock Am Ring, and the V fest. In 2008, the band was inducted into Hollywood’s RockWalk. Their first post-major label release was the song “Superchrist,” issued via the Guitar Center CD Fresh Cuts Vol. 2. They subsequently recorded the song--the modern rock hit--“G.L.O.W.” for the Guitar Hero® World Tour game, marking the first time a band has recorded a new song exclusively for the franchise. In November 2008, the band released their first live DVD, If All Goes Wrong.

Amazingly, SP.com has no mention of this. Just goes to show you can't go to the horse's mouth if you want the answers

good. jimmy has always seemed reasonable, and i think his involvement was one thing that kept many people holding out hope that there was something still there. if he's jumping ship, i feel stronger in my convictions that bill's head is in the wrong place and there's not any real hope for anything good from the "smashing pumpkins"

Jimmy wanted to do Jimmy Chamberlin Complex. Billy said only if you quit this band. Jimmy said, OK I'm out.

So, has Billy Corgan become Axl Rose? Keeping a band name without the band members, waiting years and releasing an underwhelming follow up record, still thinking he's relevant, etc?
