I erred when I posted what I thought was the album cover. Above is the real thing.

Must admit, I've lost touch with the Pumpkins a bit since I saw them at the O2 arena back in February 2008, and they started doing all the weird internet releases and stuff....and I think I need to hit up Wikipedia to find out what happened to the band!! Where's Jimmy (surely that's not him on the right in that pic), Ginger Reyes, etc...???

Corgan is an amazing songwriter and performer but where's the band continuity? I agree that he's the heart of the band but (like Guns 'n' Roses) you can't underestimate the players in the rest of the band. Case in point, I'm giving Bruce Springsteen a miss this year when he tours as it just won't be the same without Clarence Clemons behind him.

Bill Corgan is the Axl Rose of alt rock.

Sure Corgan likes to change up his band members, but he's nowhere near the size of a*sehole that Rose is....Axl is in the premier league of A-holery, Billy seems okay to me...
