I liked Zwan and I never saw the Pumpkins live, so I could give a shit as long as Billy is there. hrmph

Zwan were very different from what the Pumpkins sounded like. The Pumpkins were practically metal at the end. Zwan was upbeat pop/rock.

zwan was billy and chamberlain and whoeverthehell.

the new pumpkins are billy and chamberlain and whoeverthehell.

and i thought zwan was pretty metallic, as alterna-rock goes. i mean, queens of the stone age opened for zwan on the tour, so it's not like they were exactly aiming for an adult contemporary lite-FM audience.

Maybe their live show was harder-edged but "Honestly" and "Lyric" are about as light and pop/rock as it gets.

If that's the case, than he (Billy, of course) has a lot of nerve calling it Smashing Pumpkins since his failed solo album and failed "Zwan"


Failed..which is why he is relegated to making another SP album. He is so transparent.

I imagine working with him must be like working for Prince (band wise)

yeah i was kind of disappointed that he would resort to
reforming the pumpkins just because his solo album went
nowhere. that's not a good reason to reform a band.

but oh well, let's just wait and see what they (whoever
they consist of) come up with.

From his online ramblings, it sounds like he's wanted to get them back together pretty much since they broke up.

I will see the reunion show no matter what, but I have to say, Billy went out like a bitch. When he ended the Pumpkins, he blamed it on Britney Spears. disbelief
