Least there's one person on this board who isn't ignorant.

My sentiments exactly. You could say the exact same thing about Pink Floyd, now THOSE guys are a bunch of fucking POMPOUS arrogant british ASSES who can't even be in the same room with eachother without resorting to stupid childish semantics. The only time they get along is when they're playing togther and they don't have to talk to each other. But they made great music so everyone loves them. Don't see why it's not the same for the Pumpkins. Siamese Dream is one of the best albums of the 90's.

I always loved Pisces Iscariot too, seems to go right along with Siamese Dream. Hello Kitty Kat is one of my favorite songs of theirs.

I think you're thinking of Weezer. I've never heard musicians this talented in an Emo band.

I love the Smashing Pumpkins, even if Corgan's a pompous ass. Band kicks much ass, regardless, and his solo stuff isn't terrible.

I hate the term "emo", but whatever, Rites of Spring are now labeled as "emo," and they are fuckin' great. Get-Up Kids are pretty good as well. I could go on.

Weezer is only around because of Pavement, so are you saying Pavement spawned emo?

*Mind, Weezer suck, Pavement do not.

i was trying to get that out here without being slaughtered. i like them

some of their songs are good, some are just boring, gish is a pretty good album though, although they looked like trannies

my favorite is pisces iscariot

Mick Jagger pulls it off...Corgan unfortunately doesn't. And isn't Mick Jagger! Actually Mick Jagger, Billy Corgan, whoever...It's tough for me to get into someones music if I know they are a class A jack ass. Same with Sports stars. Call me an idealist, but I expect those with an exorbanant amount of talent and public influence to want to be somewhat of a role model.

You have a great talent if you can listen to someone who you know is..oh let's say been accused of pedophilia and still enjoy thier music. :) I understand no one is perfect..but man Billy just gets under my skin.

I don't get it. It is just them playing a boring ass song.

Edit: it isn't a bad song, it was just boring because I thought something funny or shocking was going to happen.

Zwan = total bollox.


nuff said.

I know dude it's not even a genre, just a bunch of kids who dress like weezer and play plastic pop punk music

I just smoked a joint for the first time in a year and listened to Pisces Iscariot and Siamese Dream for the first time in about a year, on a big hi fi stereo. Good way to start.

Wow I've never noticed thhat song rocket is so cheezy right the very end. It has such a corny Van Halen sounding ending.

I also hate when people make fun of "emo," which was showcased in that "Tickle me emo" thread... So fucking lame/old/unoriginal/easy/unfunny...

yea, i rememmber one late night channel surf landed on MTV news and that group of dicks posing as pricks, panic! at the disco were pretty much syaing"smashing pumpkins did it, and we're doing it to." Everything the guy said about his band was just like 'we wanted to make a big thematic album, like mellon and the infinite sadness.' and they showed clips of thewir show, which is seemingly a live version of the tonight, tonight video.

I used to dig the pumpkins, and ther'es tilla few song si really dig, 'we only come out at night' in particular... but now I get increasingly pissed off the longer i have to hear billy cock-corgan's voice.

Hahahahahha.. "The world in general, and MTV inparticular seems to be incapable of recognizing the full potency of my creative genius."

hahahahaha

NO! I hate the Rolling Stones because they haven't put out a good record in 25 years.
