Smashing Pumpkins set to reform for festivals
Live dates this year looking more likely
Smashing Pumpkins are strongly rumoured to be reforming this summer for live shows - with Coachella touted as their comeback.

I agree that Zwan seemed much better live than on the album.However, I still remember trying hard to wipe the cheesy grin off my face the first time I heard "The Number Of The Beast".

I for one will look forward to seeing a reformed band - hopefully with Billy, Jimmy and James on board. I actually admit to being one of the few who bought James\' album and actually liked it - was one of my favourite albums of that year.

why even bother. they were horrible when they broke up and i\'m sure they can\'t be better. i remember when they were supposed to "save" music when the last album was supposed to come out, i think it blew. i own and love gish and zero, the only two albums i own. so what do i know. :shrug:

Corgan Weighs In On New Pumpkins Album

Billy Corgan has taken to the Smashing Pumpkins\' MySpace.com site to weigh in on the group\'s reunion album, expected out in late spring or early summer. "This year for us will see a new album of songs and a world tour of tears, and we truly look forward to playing again for fans young, old, and missed," Corgan said in a posting yesterday (Jan. 2).

"So yes, tunes are being dusted off, while others are being asked to kindly submit to an upstart millennia and all it\'s asking," he continued. "When we opened the lid on this music box, we were pleasantly surprised at the music that played: familiar yet unknown, welcoming but not sentimental ... and that is all we can ask."

There has still been no announcement of what label is releasing the disc, but it is likely to be Warner Bros. or Reprise, which issued Corgan\'s 2005 solo album "TheFutureEmbrace." It has also not been revealed who else besides Corgan and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin are now in the band.

"For many years there were private laments about opportunities missed and hearts so broken, but no more ... we have turned the page and moved on, from places and faces, names and games," Corgan said. "This age calls for resolve and certitude, and the fire within to burn ever bright. If that fire should be connected to absolutely deafening guitars, thundering drums and the melodies of snakes, then so be it!"

Wow, i just woke up a very very happy little delighted person at this news. Smashing Pumpkins are truly in my Top 5 of favorite bands of all time. Siamese Dream is sometimes the only CD that will calm my nerves. I\'ve always wanted to see them live, so perhaps now i have a chance. I just hope the new cd is better than Machina, the Machines of God.

I agree with whoever said that about Zwan being good live. I saw them at the Hammerstein Ballroom in March of 03. I enjoyed the album, but i wasn\'t expecting much for the live performance. But it honestly was bettter than i had expected. Corgan is amazing live.

I can\'t wait for this new album!!!

I talk about how kickass The Smashing Pumpkins are, and dedend them even more irrationally than I do The Breakfast.

sorry just the way it is. The SmashingPumpkinsDiscoraphy.torrent confirms this
