I was just giving my opinion... Whatever haha... Long live the Pumpkins I guess... Oceania might be the greatest album ever, I dont know... but please please please please please please eliminate corny photos... that just ruins it for me... I know that has nothing to do with the music.. but it just makes me cringee and I hate that hahah

again...what i said i think was the most valid point. stop comparing them to the old sp. they're like a new band completely.

i think it was stupid of billy to call it smashing pumpkins, because it leads to people hating on them like this. and then the smashing pumpkins name is forever shitted on.

I agree Matteo.. you just said it... The Smashing Pumpkins aren't really The Smashing Pumpkins.. they're a different band.. why are they called the same?? BS.

And BTW is the little Kid Jimmy's son?????

and IF you're going to give the music that I find interesting a shot.. I suggest you listen to She's A Cannibal first...

www.soundcloud.com/yusatico

It's a song about Cannibalism but with a groovy jungle aesthetic... check it out...
and then listen to Bird Love which is about making love to a bird... :)/>
Then listen to Junkstar... speaks for itself...

hey his band definitely isn't better than sp's new stuff but it isn't terrible either.

they're actually pretty good. i'd enjoy seeing them live. they remind me of the smiths.

This is unrealistic. Everything they do will always be compared to past incarnations of the band- as it probably should. Since, you know, it's still called The Smashing Pumpkins.

Yeahhh Matteo I see some Smiths in it as well... they're GREAT live.. maybe comparing them to the pumpkins is a bit too much... but It's the first time i've listen to a NEW band that I actually liked and just wanted to share it..

Yes. The fact you find this peculiar is unsettling. As is your presence. Well, maybe not so much unsettling. More like, baffling because you think your opinion will actually alter someone else's.

If you knew the Pumpkins and their fan base at all, you would realize how thick a soup you are trying to stir. Pumpkins fans are very stubborn, and very defensive. You've found yourself in quite the cess pool. And no one will hear your cries.

i realize that but i'm just trying to get the point across.

and as long as you know the facts, why compare them to old incarnations just because "since, you know, it's still called The Smashing Pumpkins."? that's just being an asshole.

But even then, thats like comparing Machina to Gish. Sure, there's a level on which you can do that, but it'll only get you so far. It denies the growth that is inherently going to happen with an artist that is around for 5+ years. It's like those "spot the differences" images. It's easy to compare two images that are only moderately tweaked. But take two very different images, and the amount of comparison is endless.

what the in the hell, see that statement made more sense than this comment

what in the world does a cover need to do with HEARING music, its like going

"shit man i cant play this game, the paint on the wall behind the TV just looks to ugly it bothers me"
"crap i cant watch this movie, the poster is just so stupid i physically cant watch it now"
"becky i cant sleep with you, your great great great great grandmother isnt fashionable enough that it kills this whole relationship"

who cares about the small crap just listen to the fucking music

then again i am legitimately insane so i might just be speaken crazies and i did just finish fight club so that may have something to do with it

A) I joined yesterday.
B) Ive been around for a long time and only got irritated enough yesterday to create an account which I assume broke my virginity seal.
C) Id like to think my English is slightly better than the OP. But that's being racist. Or sexist. Or transphobic (I learned this word here).

Now if i started mentioning brokencyde being a better band then i could see some laughs from that(from me), in case you dont know brokencyde is this

Ive come to the conclusion that I should stay off Pumpkins message boards. I absolutely cannot stand most other SP fans for reasons like this thread. For every level headed Pumpkins fan who will have logical and civil discussions, there are 20 more with their heads planted firmly up their asses. I love the band but the majority of the vocal "fanbase" is shit with absolutely zero perspective, and their viewpoints always seem to be tied to blind nostalgia.

What I guess I really don't understand is why these people who obviously don't like the Pumpkins anymore would post on the bands message board. Its hypocritical, and makes no sense. The only reason I can think of for them to do it is that they're just ass holes who have nothing better to do with their time. Its more sad than anything else. I mean, I don't go to the Foo Fighters message board and start threads about how the Foo Fighters haven't done anything decent since The Colour and the Shape.

Ive come to the conclusion that I should stay off Pumpkins message boards. I absolutely cannot stand most other SP fans for reasons like this thread. For every level headed Pumpkins fan who will have logical and civil discussions, there are 20 more with their heads planted firmly up their asses. I love the band but the majority of the vocal "fanbase" is shit with absolutely zero perspective, and their viewpoints always seem to be tied to blind nostalgia.

What I guess I really don't understand is why these people who obviously don't like the Pumpkins anymore would post on the bands message board. Its hypocritical, and makes no sense. The only reason I can think of for them to do it is that they're just ass holes who have nothing better to do with their time. Its more sad than anything else. I mean, I don't go to the Foo Fighters message board and start threads about how the Foo Fighters haven't done anything decent since The Colour and the Shape.

dont leave....i..i love ya man
