This show was simply amazing. If you watched it streaming live, you know what I mean. The audio/visual quality of the stream was excellent. It felt as if I was really there.

Billy: Holy cow! His singing was outstanding--less of the screechy-whiny and more power and control in his voice this time around. He also did well staying on key. I think we'll be seeing a little different singing style from him on Zeitgeist and on tour. I like it! His playing was excellent, too. Everything from the long solos to the acoustic songs was perfect--that version of Thirty-Three was incredible! As for his demeanor, he seemed to truly enjoy himself and have fun. Unlike some people, I for one LIKE to see him smile. It's ok not to be all emo and depressed 24/7, kids...The only thing that distracted me was his kimomo/robe/cape thingy that kept getting in the way when he played.

Jimmy: What can I say? He's Jimmy! Always cool, always turning out gut-thumping blasts. He looked pretty sweet in that outfit, too.

Jeff: I don't know much about this guy, but his playing is, in my opinion, Pumpkins-worthy. He's pretty good! That solo with Billy on Silverf#ck was amazing. Unfortunately his outfit with that giant collar is a real LOLfest...

Ginger: Again, don't know too much about her but she seems to play well.

Girl Playing Keyboard: Lose the keyboards on Disarm!!! Otherwise ok...

All the songs were great. "United States" is an awesome song. And I'll add my voice to the "PLEASE release Gossamer!" crowd. A song that great shouldn't languish as merely the last song on a setlist.

thanks for the review on the Rock am Ring show, I did watch it streaming live, WOW!! I emailed/telephoned/courier pigeoned every possible soul I knew (and some I didn't, ha) begging/pleading/charming to the point that they MUST check out this show, it was such an event to experience...
That look that Ginger gives towards the end, where Uli is on a solo, Ginger has her eyes closed then looks up with a piercing stare, simply melted my brain, ha! If (please) they come up here to Canada, in concert form no festival, I am definitely going, or Minnesota for that matter.
Anyways, thanks for listening.
Peace, Scotty

WHY I'M A FAN
Well...that's a good question. I guess there's so many varied reasons for why I'm a fan. Since I'm not in a novel-writing mood at the moment, I'll be to the point and just say that I've been a fan since the age of 9. Billy Corgan must be doing something right, then. Must be doing a LOT of things right, that is. From the personal to the public persona, he's one of the greatest human beings around. It's only too bad that there's not many people in this world like him. We could use more people of his intelligence, compassion, and perseverance, not to mention creativity and vision. I mean, he's a person not afraid of showing his humanity, regardless if he says incredibly smart or incredibly stupid things. His plain humanity has always drawn me to him...to essentially come from nothing and nowhere and become what he is today, yet retain that essence of humanity is quite a feat.

I suppose I've been a fan for so long because Billy is one person I can truly identify with. The way we grew up, our childhoods, etc. Many similarities I don't wish to delve into...

Why am I a fan? I also happen to like decent music. The revival of the Smashing Pumpkins couldn't have come at a better time. Too many things are going wrong with people, the world, that we need something of beauty to balance all the ugliness--ugliness in the media and entertainment industry, popular culture, and so on. We need bands like the Pumpkins and people like Billy to continue working to counteract all the negative energy and influences out there today.

 
FAVORITE LYRIC
Disarm you with a smile
and leave you like they left me here
to wither in denial
the bitterness of one who's left alone

Ooooo, the years burn...


Song Title: Disarm
Artist: The Smashing Pumpkins
