It's easier when you're an asshole born in England.

"asshole from England" is redundant.

I just dont get it why moonshaped pool was such a success. They havent changed their sound in 20 years but still successful.whereas bolly hasnt produced 1 good album since machina.

Maybejradioheads promotion is just awesome.
Honestly I don't get people that don't get Radiohead. They have changed their sound over the last 20 years.

If you took Radiohead complete discography and Thom Yorke's solo work and put it up against Smashing Pumpkins conplete discography and Billy's solo work...

Radiohead/Thom > SP/Billy

Bill has tarnished SP's legacy with crap music and his crap solo work. Billy hasn't delivered a decent record since Machina and Machina is still a flawed album. Everything he's done since has been subpar. Folks complaining about Thom Yorke's voice and vocal delivery yet can praise Billy's voice and delivery make me laugh.

Thom's voice > Billy's voice

Moon Shaped Pool and In Rainbows are great, but Yorke is just as big an arsehole as Corgan in his own way.

At least Thom Yorke isn't an asshole to his bandmates.

Members since 1985(!):
Thom Yorke
Jonny Greenwood
Colin Greenwood
Ed O'Brien
Philip Selway

And that might be one reason too, why they can nowadays give four concerts in the Madison Square Garden...

Yeah but Taylor Swift is playing 3 shows at Metlife Stadium which holds triple the people as Madison Square Garden.

Maybe if Thom wasn't an english bastard, he could play in Metlife Stadium...

Radiohead is one of the best bands ever, multiple albums can be considered top 10 rock albums ever.
SP has one classic album and some good ones and some bad ones.

If SP's output had retained 1990s quality, it would be a close race between Radiohead v. Pumpkins.

However Billy's last great album was 18-20 years ago, Radiohead's was like 2 years ago

AMSP isn't even really a GREAT album but it's better than anything Corgan has done in 2 decades or longer

Good Lord, how come they're waiting so long before announcing the support acts?

I'm considering seeing the first show back, but I wanna know who the support acts are. I think that would be the deal breaker for me. And if I don't go to the Arizona show I'll probably just go to the one in Seattle, but I'm not gonna buy a ticket if it's with fucking Nickelback. Nothing sounds less desirable to me than spending all the money and going out of town and getting a hotel and then having to be seated next to a bunch of redneck Nickelback fans for the night.

It would be nice to figure this out sooner than later though... Like honestly, what the fucks the hold up Billdo?!?

That's why the floor seating situation sucks... Cause if you're stuck by some lamewads then you're shit out of luck.

Billy would sell his soul to Satan to master "electronic gimmicks" the way Radiohead has. He attempted to embrace the future and he sucked at it. The reason he hates Radiohead is because he's 100% jealous.

When it comes to electronic sound Billy is Nickelback and Thom is Led Zeppelin.

Wrong, Siamese Dream and MCIS are both classics and pretty much regarded equally.

Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Can, and NEU! did everything Radiohead did 30 years earlier. There's literally nothing groundbreaking about anything Radiohead did.

All aspects must be considered when budgeting money for such adventures. If Nickelback is going to be playing a big role in the shows, I'd rather go plan an adventure to go see, for example, The Pixies and Weezer where I know I'd have a good time for sure. But if SP has a rad band with them, then that would swing the pendulum.

Nah... MCIS has lessened in importance over the years. Siamese Dream is their bonafide classic.

And the last time Smashing Pumpkins played arenas, I felt like they didn't have the necessary energy to be playing on such a large stage. Just watch the Live In New York City DVD if you wanna see what I mean.

Your opinion... 1 man's opinion versus millions of Radiohead fans' opinions. Good luck with that.

Some folks here can't handle the cold, harsh truth of these statement. I love SP original line up's albums, but I ain't an idiot to know Radiohead has a much more consistent output that eclipses SP's.
