Yes there is. I used to listen to New Found Glory. New Found Glory! Holy Shit. If that isn't a dark period, then I'm J. J. Gardener. You can't argue with that. I'm nowhere near that disgusting, and you know it. I listened to Machines of God today. It was sort of cool. THeir older stuff is better. I was there, I remember it, we would sit in his mom's house and listen to Linkin Park and New Found Glory over and over and over again, then we turned 15...... Andyway(HA! That's such an awesome typo!) my favorite Smashing Pumpkins song is Disarm, which probably reveals me for the somewhat sappy bastard I am.....

I seem to remember the first Battle of the Bands thing we had, where a one Alex Jones played in a pop-punk band so bad they couldn't even remember who played which instruments.....

So anyway, how about those pumpkins. It really ticked me off when I found out they broke up because their drummer died of a herion overdose. Leedy and I have had this discussion. Mediocre musicians have drug addictions or have a drinking problem. Truly good musicians don't have room for it. Yngwie Malmsteen, Iron Maiden, Tool, and many other bands who are running low on the blowometer, also lack substance abuse problems.

Andrew has corrected me:
andrew says: during the meloncholy tour jimmy and a keyboardist overdosed in a hotel room. the keyboardist died, but jimmy was arrested and put into rehab. on the next album, rather than getting a new drummer, they used a drum machine. that album was adore. they used filter's drummer as a replacemtn on tour. eventually jimmy came back to the band and they recorded machina, however, d'arcy had now left the andrew says: band. andrew says: that's her on the recordings andrew says: but she left and the band toured with melissa auf der maur from hole. andrew says: they decided to call it quits when d'arcy left, but wanted to continue on with tour and do what they could with it
My argument about drugs/alchohol and music still stands.

jimmy was one of, if not THE best drummer of that decade, and certainly tops over the past fifty years.

So you thought I was some ass who didn't entitle people to their own pedantic opinions?

Corgan Plans to Revive Pumpkins Rob Kleckner and Caroline Bermudez report: Billy Corgan has made it clear, particularly during the hype surrounding his solo debut, The Future Embrace, that the band he's famous for had smashed their last pumpkin. But what supposedly died on stage at Chicago's Metro on December 2, 2000 may not be lost forever. Placing a full-page ad in today's Chicago Tribune, Corgan has announced that he wants to kiss and make up with the other three former members of alt-rock juggernaut the Smashing Pumpkins. He says, "For a year now I have walked around with a secret, a secret I chose to keep. But now I want you to be among the first to know that I have made plans to renew and revive the Smashing Pumpkins. I want my band back, and my songs, and my dreams." There is no further word on whether this is a true reunion or simply Corgan reclaiming the band's name. One would hope he spoke to his bandmates before announcing this decision to the world. Also unclear is what this reincarnation of the Smashing Pumpkins will achieve, be it a comeback tour or a new album. It raises the question of whether the band will become the name of Billy Corgan's future projects, or if the original members will all participate. He insists that his new album "pick up the thread of the as-yet-unfinishsed work and charter of the Smashing Pumpkins." Formed in Chicago in 1988, the quartet released a string of highly successful albums including Gish, Siamese Dream, and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. During their messy 12-year existence, the Smashing Pumpkins saw the break-up of guitarist James Iha and bassist D'Arcy Wretzky, Corgan's nervous breakdown around the time of Siamese Dream, the death of touring keyboardist Jonathan Melvoin from a drug overdose, the firing of drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, the exit of Wretzky after Machina, and the entry of former Hole bassist Melissa auf der Maur, before disbanding in 2000. Since breaking up, Iha has gone on to perform with A Perfect Circle, Chamberlin formed the Jimmy Chamberlin Complex, and Corgan created the short-lived Zwan, which released their only album, Mary, Star of the Sea in 2003. Corgan has also written a book of poetry, Blinking With Fists, and The Future Embrace hits stores today. * Pitchfork Review: Billy Corgan: The Future Embrace * Billy Corgan: www.billycorgan.com/intersting, but i don't think it's going to happen.
