Just heard the news Few hours ago. They're going back on tour! Can I share a link? Smashing Pumpkins Plot Reunion Tour Culling From First Five Albums Any fans still around?
I'm a casual fan. I know all their popular songs, and I still listen to them. 1979 is always in heavy rotation on my playlists. Anyway, I'd be down to check out a reunion concert.
Same. Cool avatar! My favorite is "Siamese Dream", but the only one I have right now is "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" in my car. It's got some serious music on it, like the intro to disc 1 and they use some techniques like from electronica and stuff. yeah. Pretty cool.
i loved their landslide cover other than that they just remind me of college..i remember when they came to town and a few students overdid it at an after concert party and were like walking zombies the next day
Billy Corgan Is now a poor man He needs to reform the band To make a coupla hundred grand You can bet the tour Will be a bore
I've been listening to Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness a little here and there lately. There are some songs that make me feel so nostalgic I just want to cry. I dont know if I would see them live though, ticket prices will probably be ridiculous and Billy Corgan is sort of annoying Cool story though, I bought my friend Siamese Dreams on vinyl when we were teenagers for $15 or so and the other day he texted me a link to the same album on sale on eBay for almost 200 bucks
this is funny. I'm thinking , "ah, you're so old!" lol but kidding of course. Thing is, it probably is more the generation of those in their 30s, like myself, that are the major part of the fandom, although I have met a few others in their 40s. I kinda have taken a liking to the FB group fandoms because there are a lot of folks my age and the nostalgia and stuff is pretty nice, as opposed to some other fandoms I'm a part of (teens and twenty somethings. I feel like an old fart! lol)
I should have just done a multiquote. whoops! I saw a price quote today, twas a range of like 39USD-149USD. Something like that. So, decent prices all things considered. I'm excited, but at the same time, I'm not sure if I'll actually be able to go. I think it'd be pretty cool though, especially since they'll be performing the first five albums, which are my most listened to too.
It's actually "Melon Collie". I wasn't going to mention it but I thought you would want someone to say something.
Oh so you too huh? Sometimes I put on music I know will make me emotional because I want to have a good cry Oops. I knew that
Oh yeah, totally. Apparently, we're kindred spirits. But I cry at everything though. Movies, songs, waves, basketball, car commercials--everything. I'm a big softy for anything that attempts to manipulate my emotions. People in my life think I'm insane. My mom thinks I should be on Prozac. Maybe she's right. I cry at movies like Bad Moms.
This post makes me cry, cuz it's real! <3 But specifically on topic, I had a dream I went to a show and I was balling at some of these songs and I was like trying to hide my tears but my dad saw me (I've been going to shows with my folks lately so not very weird he was there, but still a little because we didn't go to shows together like this in those days. Anyway...) yeah, it was weird, but I had a good cry and Billy was even looking at me too, I think that's why, plus sentimentality.
