Smashing Pumpkins Reunite - VGF

**Sean P Kelly** · 04-21-2006, 07:14 PM

The official announcement was made on their website that the Pumpkins are back together and starting work on an album.

They broke up?

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

That's it?

Is James Iha back with them? He had a pretty cushy thing going on in A Perfect Circle.

From what I hear it will be the same line-up from 2000. That is 3 or the 4 originals with Melissa Auf Der Maur replacing D'Arcy on Bass

I like D'Arcy better. Melissa is alright but I don't like her as much.

I'm afraid I'm not a big fan of the Smashing Pumpkins. I couldn't even name a song right now.

Shame on you!

I'm not so sure about how good a thing this actually is. I mean Billy was the driving force of the Pumpkins and did you hear his solo album? It was very much like the late pumpkins machina stuff. I get the feeling that he's more interested in using the name to pimp his music than actually getting together and getting creative with the rest of the band members.

Mind you if they tour I'll still go see them.
