i've never written a blog on here before so i thought i'd go ahead and do it.
the superchrist video came out today. it was really dissappointing for me personally. i was looking forward to seeing billy and jimmy rocking out with this awesome song and only saw old men on a bass and tamborine. whoever directed the video shouldn't be a director and should stay far away from the pumpkins; or maybe the pumpkins should stay far away from each other. they've done nothing but dissappointing things for me since they've reunited. when zeitgeist came out, it was enjoyable as hell. i saw them live in asheville NC 5 days before it was released, and although billy sounded shitty, the music was enjoyable and i was just excited to have been in the pumpkins' presence. after i bought every single release of the album, i realized i was getting fckt over by them. it was really depressing because the pumpkins have been my heroes ever since i heard them when i was 13. i remember reading in rolling stone and on netphoria and stuff that "billy wanted his pumpkins back" back in 2005 and i flipped my shit because it was something i'd been wishing for.. but now i regret wishing for it. not only have they become money loving old men, but they have not become the pumpkins that they once were and set out to be when they got back together. i'm not comparing them musically, i'm talking about personally. they never released 7 versions of MCIS or sold Lull for $15. what i'm saying seems to be controversial around here, but i'm not the only one who sees this. some people can just shrug it off and still love this band as much as they ever have. but i cannot. they've been replaced from their 4 year hold of top favorite band of mine by a band that gives a fck about their fans, that reaches out, that doesn't starve us of money, that doesn't release unneccessary amounts of the same CD. and although this blog entry may sound pissed off and cynical, i'm really just depressed and hurt that the pumpkins have made themselves look like idiots.
RIP- The Smashing Pumpkins
