Smashing Pumpkins announce 44 track album

are they that rich already that they can just pass on money like it's water? If I sold something popular for $1 each I'd be a happy man.

hmmm... drummer is a 19 year old dude who quit his job at McD's to join..
Should he come through this fortnight still in Corgan?s good graces, Byrne would make the Pumpkins? presumed touring lineup even younger, joining 35-year-old guitarist Jeff Schroeder and 29-year-old bass-slinging Ginger Pooley behind Corgan, 42.

Might as well call it the Billy Corgan Project.

that's how its always been.

Corgan played everything but drums on the records anyhow.
 
44 tracks of something that's probably not very good. SP really lost me when they went through the whole breakup, Zwan, full page whiny ad and 'reunion'.

I'll still have to check it out to be sure...
 
No Jimmy: Check
No James: Check
No Darcy: Check

Yeah, this isn't Smashing Pumpkins.. Billy should just fucking stop already because it's rather embarrassing at this point.

Granted the final blow was really losing Jimmy Chamberlin as he was the only other member that actually contributed to the first few albums.

Darcey and James while nice to have as they are original members mean nothing, Billy played their parts on albums and they didnt really play that well on stage.

It is sad to see Jimmy passing this up, but the new guy is pretty good from what i hear

Live James added a ton of color... and Mellon Collie had James all over it and you can tell since the riffs actually were interesting and layered. Don't get me wrong I love their first two albums but you can tell it was Billy only.

That said, without Chamberlin, Billy is just using the SP name to sell records since his two solo efforts were complete bullshit and it's kind of sad. Zeitgeist sounded like it was recorded in someone's basement shower.

This sums it up. Billy = SP. All the other parts are interchangable.

If you believe that compare the first 3 records with Chamberlin to the abortions they created after his absence and tell me Billy is capable of running the show by himself.

Chamberlin quit because he didn't want to be a part of Guns N Roses 2.0 aka the Axl show.
 
considering 1 out of thier last 44 songs was halfway tolerable, and the rest was whiny crap. I'd say this new album is priced just right for the market. And I'm still not interested.

Last album sold over 700,000 copies, not too shabby.

Considering the artist gets about 50 cents per album at best, the agent takes 10%, 4 people in the band, thats 78k per person.

Theyd have to make a killing on tours/merchandise to do anything of significance.
