to me, smashing pumpkins have the most unique sound in music, there music is is perfect to me, its heavy its melodic, billys vox are just to unique to any one else, plus he ranges from screamin' to wishperings and i love it. grunge and alternative music is the best music invented. great music!!!! + the way billy dresses is just fuckin awsome, i liked his long hair better than the bold, but the bold is still cool. the new long kinda dress outfit he wears on stage now i love but i did like the grungey look b4 as well. Ginger the bassist now, is so damn hot, i mean her with her bass to me is the perfection. but D'arcy was damn cool too, well of course, i mean she was with them from the start and helped them to sound what they are 2day. i think with out jimmy in the pumpkins they wouldn't sound the same, esspecially on the new Zietzeist album them drums are just awsome, well done to him. the guys and gals rule. can't wait to see em'!
