this is the best time since 1996 to be a pumkins fan

dean_r_koontz · 04-24-2009, 02:27 PM

or 97 if you like that tripe. the reasons are the following:

two good new songs: owata (some cringworthy singing that will hopefully be ironed out) and song for a son

the latest messages haven't been filled with attempts to appear intelligent or deep, just good ol' dumb billy.

the chris isaak hour showed a much more realistic and open billy, when talking about how great a lyricist he was he sort of went "meh" and he sounded genuinely hurt while talking about how james had snubbed him in the streets.

i think all in all this means that billy finally has recovered enough from the death of his mother to start getting back to his old creative self again.

Certainly don't think this is the best time to be a Pumpkins fan since 96-97 - That was probably in 2000 when he promised no more Smashing Pumpkins (I could be wrong on this).

There's been some good stuff since they revived the band, but they've still cheapened the name.

On a seperate note, I'm sick of hearing him talk about child abuse in interviews. It ruined If All Goes Wrong for me - especially as Pete Townsend was in it for no reason other than to say "I can talk about child abuse 'cos I wasn't looking at pictures of kids" over and over again. He was going on about on the Chris Issac Hour as well. I can only imagine how tough a break it is but really, he used to use lyrics for this.

Raventhird · 04-25-2009, 03:49 PM

This is the best time ever to throw up about anything Pumpkins and hide your CD collection in case your friends decide to visit you.

I've never been this embarrassed to be a Pumpkins fan....and I've been pretty fucking embarrassed to be a Pumpkins fan.

Spaldz · 04-26-2009, 09:58 AM

Out of everytime to be a Pumpkins fan this is the worst for me.

Trotskilicious · 04-26-2009, 01:45 PM

i love the people here who are embarassed suddenly

i went through the embarrassment about being a fan, out the other side to saying they were a pretty goddamn great band in the 90s and laughing about what happened and continues to happen

fuzzyroes · 04-27-2009, 04:35 AM

You guys are gay. Embarissed to be a fan?!?

Who the fuck cares what kinda music you listen to. I guess if your some loser caring about being cool or something.

How long has it been since they fired LSD Billy?

Kahlo · 04-27-2009, 09:15 AM

I don't know if he is still on the books, I will have to ask Billy Smashing Pumpkins INC.

Shallowed · 04-27-2009, 09:19 AM

Man, that sucks. He was 99% of Smashing Pumpkins.

Kahlo · 04-27-2009, 09:22 AM

Sorry, I tried but could only get Billy Punk Rock Corgan today.
