The Smashing Pumpkins

[SilverFox]

Are going to reform One of my very favourate bands, so I'm pretty pleased. Don't know if anyone likes the pumpkins, but I figure that if DrumminDefender knows his drummers he'd know of the legend that is Jimmy Chamberlain.

i haven't actually heard anything by them but the name rings a bell

If you want a recommendation their best album IMO is 'Siamese Dream', but they also have a best of called 'rotten apples'! If you have any money burning a hole in your pocket go out and buy one or both...I'd get Siamese dream if I had to choose! Alternatively I could make you a copy!

Jimmy Chamberlain is a fantastic drummer! Can't believe you don't know of him!

I used to get some serious praise when I played stuff like Today, 1979 or even tonight tonight whilst DJing - it seems people love them but are afraid to ask.

Good stuff that they are reforming. They piss all over Zwan.

They are gothicy rock really

 

[drummindefender]

similar sound too.......

 

[SilverFox]

I would say they were more grunge rock around Siamese Dream, but started to dress gothicy for the albums after that, i.e. Mellon Collie and the Infinate sadness.

Swan were woeful!:icon_eek:
