J/K It's a shame they're gonna try to make a comeback. I got my money on the fact that they're gonna suck like all the other "alternative" rock bands out there now.

The only good Pumpkins album was Gish. After Billy cut his hair they sucked. Well, OK... it was only Billy that sucked but you get the idea.

When they got Kenny Aronof (used to play for John Mellencamp) to drum for them I thought that was a bit weird. Weird as in lame.

WhiteRavenKS · Jun 29, 2005

hmm... ok, i guess everyone is hatin on corgan/pumpkins/whatever now. leaves more enjoyment for me to have then and im fine with that.

Yeah, I can understand why Chamberlain had to go (heroin) but there are many drummers they could have picked up, even on a temp basis. I think Corgan just got all megalomaniacal. James Iha was a decent guitar player and did good work, he got gyped. The girl was an OK bass player but they didn't have anything too complex anyway.

I liked Gish, it had an edge to it. After that it was all soft and flowy.. lalala... I am billy corgan... la la la.. look at me, I'm deep.... let me tell you why life sucks... la la la...

"Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage", yeah right... what rage? Billy, you know nothing of rage.

Ack :blah:

Nah man, I'm not hatin on the Pumpkins... Just Billy.

Are you depressed yet?

WhiteRavenKS · Jun 29, 2005

like shooting fish in a barrel?

no, i actually have a good amount of happy things to think about while listening to that album. but i still dont have a walk in humadoor... or however the hell you spell that.

Skookum · Jun 30, 2005

i remember getting Gish all those years back and goin damn that's some good pop rock(aka alternative). Getting a look at the cover and goin hey cool there's a chick in the band too. Looking at the lead singer thinkin he looked like some goth rock dude.
Really i never liked anything after Gish myself, although some tracks make me tap my feet, but that's really neither here nor there.....
What i really wonder is how the hell did Billy Corgan wind up lookin like Uncle Fester?

Mackie · Jun 30, 2005

The real question is who would win in a battle of egos - Corgan or Reznor?
Neither seems to realize that that are not nearly as talented or important as they think they are.

Celebrity Bitch Slap Death Match. Who would you pick to win Billy or Trent?

narlus · Jun 30, 2005

at least trent's got decent taste in covers ("dead souls").

can't say i like either band though. the only pumpkins thing i've got is their "tristessa" single, which actually isn't too bad iirc. i did see them pre-fame, at TT the Bears in cambridge. goddamn that show was blistering hot. as in temperature. superchunk and another good band were also on the bill.

clancy98 · Jun 30, 2005

yeah i love how everyone hates the pumpkins but that wasn't that case back in the nineties... Like Limp Bizkit. Just because fred durst turned into a jerkoff doesn't mean everyone has to jump on the they suck BW when 3$B was a ****ing brilliant album when it came out.

And as far as Trent Reznor, it takes a true armchair musician to diss that man's catalog. Ego notwithstanding, you're wasting your time trying to be anti and saying he's not at the very least talented at arranging music...

Sorry, i just couldn't continue to read your post after you said something about Lip Bizkit being brilliant........ :think:

clancy98 · Jun 30, 2005

Nope, I'm quite sure that the problem is yours.

clancy98 · Jun 30, 2005

hey everyone, we know what the ****ing onion is.

If you guys knew anything about it, you wouldn't "still" be trying to tell us this is a "fake" article

Mackie is sooo punk rock. Here hold my latte mackie, we'll bring that "Boy Sets Fire" CD back out

Hold your own latte. Or get me a black coffee. You don't know me, I may be more or less punk rock than you. I've seen Boy Sets Fire - lots of energy - but that was a few years ago. Not my favorite kind of music, but i dig it sometimes. I'm sure that makes me less cool than you. :rolleyes:

Punk rock? Yeah, you don't know me.

narlus · Jun 30, 2005

it's obvious that he sustained severe and irreversible psychological damage as a result of listening to limp bizkit.

no, thats "Post, captain comprehension!"

my punctuation is to blame here, lets not take it out on late 90's rap rock bands!

narlus · Jun 30, 2005

i'm relieved to say that aside from a radio snippet of "nookie", i think my ears are a BIZKIT-FREE zone.

clancy98 · Jun 30, 2005

well then you're mostly safe, but nookie is one of the more damaging ones

edit: and also not from the three dollar bill CD

And since I don't know what "Nookie" is, I'm pretty sure I'm a LB virgin.

H8R · Jun 30, 2005

None of this crap is worth the argument.

Corgan is a self-important guy. As long as he makes him happy, the more power to him. I won't listen to his whiney music though.
"It was shocking to see Nirvana play, because it was like, "Here's this little guy with a monster-guitar sound." And it was heavier than Black Sabbath. That was shocking."
Riiiiggghht....

Reznor is a well dressed new-waver.

Durst needs to just take the hat off and shave his head. Shame is hard to watch.

Immaculate conceptions. Every one of them. :eek:

At least that's what my wife tells me....... :think:
