Billy Corgan wants his Pumpkins back
Published June 21, 2005
Fresh on the heels of the release of his first solo album, "TheFutureEmbrace," Chicago rocker Billy Corgan says he's breathing new life into an old dream: The Smashing Pumpkins.
In a full-page advertisement in today's Chicago Tribune marking the release of the new CD, Corgan 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."
The Smashing Pumpkins broke up in 2000 after playing a final gig at The Metro. The band racked up record sales (more than 25 million, with 1995's "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" selling 4.7 million in the U.S.) and critical acclaim (two Grammys and several nominations) in a relatively short time; their debut album, "Gish," was released in 1991.
The Pumpkins have a tumultuous history. The band's lineup included drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, guitarist James Iha, bassist D'Arcy Wretzky and Corgan; Wretzky left after recording "Machina" in 2000, with former Hole bassist Melissa auf der Maur filling her spot in the tour, and Corgan has blamed Iha in postings on his Web site for breaking up the band.
After the breakup, Corgan and Chamberlin put together the rock quintet Zwan, which imploded in 2003 after only one album.
"TheFutureEmbrace" is set for release Tuesday.

Yep... read that on MTV News. We'll see if it really happens. James Iha is with A Perfect Circle, though.

Billy Corgan hosted Q101 (local radiostation) for awhile tod and confirmed it (not that I'd doubt the Chicago Tribune), I just hope the other members are on board.

Billy Corgan is such a homo..... I think a lot of bands "reunite" for money. cuz he's been off the radar ever since the pumpkins were no more. His solo project, and then he wants back. I smell a publicity stunt.

I smell a publicity stunt. I seriously doubt it's for money. The man's rich already and has hoards of loyal fans that would buy any CD he released and go to any show he played no matter if he's solo, in Zwan, or in the Pumpkins. The reason Smashing Pumpkins broke up was because of personal problems in the band and tensions running high. Now that alot of that tension between bandmembers has been relieved it makes sense for them to get back together. And even if it is for money, I don't care...I just want them back making music |
