The Smashing Pumpkins stopped by the Kevin & Bean Show this morning and talked about bringing the original lineup back together, the upcoming album, and announced a secret show here in LA this week!
This was nice to see - these guys, such a part of my adolescence, hanging out (OK, 'working' ;)), and having a laugh ... These are the people that inspired me to start learning guitar and drums ... 22 years ago ... :S ... ;)
You all prolly dont care but does anybody know a method to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot my account password. I would love any tips you can give me
As a lifelong fan it makes me so happy to see the boys in good spirits and seeming positive again. If you wait long enough it will happen, even if it takes eighteen years :)
happy for Variety, o so rewatched , Jimmy does not want to talk about his past he clearly shows it with hands outstretched on the table and moving about, James, he is twisting all over . he has much to say but Can Not. when he does speak Billy/William,, crosses his arms very tightly ,which is refusal .
I hear William run his mouth most of the time. It would have been nice to hear more from Jimmy and James. It was nice to hear the new guy Jack say something at the end. And Jeff didn't say anything I don't think.
madcap2003 before the pumpkins billy actually started a band called "the marked" when he was only 14 or 17. he's actually covered over most his upper body. bright purple
i don't care when it happens, but i need to meet billy with ickabod before he dies...cuz i'm going to die as a 50 year old man and been listening to him since i was 11 in 1992.....that fuckin maaaaaaan.....was my savior...and i fuckin hate the fact that i never saw him live...anthony bordain prolly killed himself over facts like that....like FUCK....really....FUCK LIFE dude, i could jump off a bridge right now, cuz when green day came to austin i was there and the security gaurds said fuck off you can't come in the pit, and i'm fuck you, do you even know who is playing right now? and they said "WE DONT" CARE" and that was just........dude, no.......you can't say that....and keep me out of the pit, anywhere there was no pit and as it happened billy joe was on the floor and said while I was tripping ballz, "fuck this shit............" in front of parents and kids........"fuck this bullshit, you hear me!!!!!!!" whoever is listening, fuck this shit!!!!!" billy siad that with his own lips on the fuckin ground. I had similar experiences with perry f. and f mike. i just feel so screwed that i never got to seen billy...fuck manson, fuck blue oyster cult, fuck everyone, all i wanted was to see billy, since i was 11....he's going to die in 3 years...fml
I always cringe hard when an interviewer asks billy about the problems he might have had with james when he happens to be right there, or talking about the state of the band now with references to those problems back during that period.obviously they are in a new state of mind, have matured and got over it. It was 20 years ago, so lets get over it.
Maybe I missed it but there's nothing wrong with the question of "what's it like being an asian in a band"? It's pointing out the minority of asian band members in successful bands and it should be celebrated!
It more a sign of ignorance and curiosity not racism. Let be real seeing an Asian guitarist in sucessful band in the 90' a isn't common. Even now not super common but more people wouldn't say anything about it.
I didn't know there was an Asian in the band when i first heard them. Or a female bass player, until i saw their pictures later. On the other hand, have you seen old interviews from Japan start talking to James in their own language? James is like "Sorry man, i don't speak Japanese".
Yikes! Either it's really early in the morning - they're playing up the 'we don't care' attitude - OR, there are already BIG problems within the group. The body language says it all.
Be good if kroq took a leaf out of Billys book and stopped with the hard left leaning politics all the time. They're the most divisive radio station I've ever heard.
This is my moment, for now, I'm accepting this. No D'Arcy for now. Great to see Jimmy in THIS place, after the Mellon Collie tour. He's having fun! I can be happy for this setup. The shows could be hot.
I hope Darcy is doing ok. She seemed to bring out a lot of negative energy from everyone. But I would like to see her play with the Pumpkins again. That would be nice.
Dude it’s not a pumpkins reunion without Darcy! Maybe Billy’s ego will get out of the way one day for him to realize what the fans actually wanted… I know you’re the creative genius Billy but dude people want to see the band that they grew up with and loved… Not some pieced together version of it. Billys intellect gets in the way of his emotional IQ
they dont come together thinking what fans will feel or prefer . Its time u guys reflect on that and let go of D'Arcy not being back . She has probably more / other projects to fulfill ( never thought about that ? ) . Stop trying to investigate as to why , how , when , which sound more like a controlling way to feel with them . Your intellect is surely in the way of a great positive post . thats clear . It rules your life ......see where i lead you so far & enjoy .
This was nice to see - these guys, such a part of my adolescence, hanging out (OK, 'working' ;)), and having a laugh ...

They look so happy! Especially Jimmy! Lol
James put on a smile throughout, that's positive.
You all prolly dont care but does anybody know a method to log back into an instagram account?

@Duncan Beckham Instablaster :)
D’arcy Wretzky had to be attending this interview.
I got to meet Billy at the bow last night!~ yeah
Going to both LA Forum shows! Can't wait!!
Luv the interview ❤💓😆
As a lifelong fan it makes me so happy to see the boys in good spirits and seeming positive again. If you wait long enough it will happen, even if it takes eighteen years :)
I adore and love you guys! :D
One of my all time favorite bands. The Smashing Pumpkins. Keep rockin' in the free world.
I can't wait for July 29th! ♥
I'll be there too!!! :)
War Of Ghosts Archive - 2005-2015 Awesome! I am super excited.
I really love James' deep voice- so cool~
This freaking ROCKS!!!
Reconciliation is always a great thing, happy for them.
Im seeing Great things... Especially with Billy saying 'Good ol' fashion Rock and Roll.' Fucking BRING IT!!!
Great to hear from Jimmy
Security ... Security will tear us apart ... again ... ... ;D
I’m ready to hear another Soma/Mayonaise epoch type song!
wish james got more of a chance to speak
#Joshies20minvids hes always been a quiet guy
Yep he's a man of few words, watch the 90's interviews.
Usually short but funny lines.
adds mystery
How can you announce a secret show?
5:30 "The band is gonna break up again!" haha, nice interview!
I can hear the festival organizers calling already. ☎️📞
Jacks father from Joy Division Band were big in their day!
Why D'arcy isn't there?.
Maybe it is The Rainbow Room if they have great food. Hope I get tickets!
Troubadour would be sick. They have a history with The Roxy though.
Jimmy Chamberlain looks in great shape!
He is a great jazz drum player and plays often .......
Billy only plays with people whos names start with J now
Yeah. . . .what happened with D'arcy Wretzky.
Billy Corgan is a freakin genius. Make him President of the universe....now.
the bass boy body language tells us that he probably knows his time is coming to an end with SP
Billy thinks very highly of jack, and his father. Jack will no doubt be involved with the pumpkins’ future.
I miss Darcy on Smashing Pumpkins
Where is D'arcy?????
happy for Variety, o so rewatched , Jimmy does not want to talk about his past he clearly shows it with hands outstretched on the table and moving about, James, he is twisting all over . he has much to say but Can Not. when he does speak Billy/William,, crosses his arms very tightly ,which is refusal .
James cracks me up , he has so much to say
Why does Jeff look like he's sitting on Billy's lap?
Smiling Pumpkins
you get to 40 and say "hating just sucks, its not worth it, what you love doing is what you should do all the time"
I hear William run his mouth most of the time. It would have been nice to hear more from Jimmy and James. It was nice to hear the new guy Jack say something at the end. And Jeff didn't say anything I don't think.
Is no one going to say anything about... the Jimmy, James, Jeff and Jack band?
What's wrong with Billy's left hand?!
Birth Mark.
madcap2003 before the pumpkins billy actually started a band called "the marked" when he was only 14 or 17. he's actually covered over most his upper body. bright purple
Sausagefest. Needs D'arcy!
REALLY MISS D'ARCY
Bring back Ralph!
James turning to take a drink instead of all that slurping in the mic!!!!!!
Ol' Billy Hogface hogging all the questions. Just replace Billy Corgan with Bill Burr and their interview wouldn't be as fucking tense as this one.
2:40 JAMES! Stop being coy and stop using the grey rock method to reply all the time! WE WANT DRAMA!
Lol. Stay cool, bruh!
Were is Darcy moterfuckers!!???!!!?!?! whatever... I love Smashing Pumpkins
Washed Up Kroq. I give you guys 5 years tops.
i don't care when it happens, but i need to meet billy with ickabod before he dies...cuz i'm going to die as a 50 year old man and been listening to him since i was 11 in 1992.....that fuckin maaaaaaan.....was my savior...and i fuckin hate the fact that i never saw him live...anthony bordain prolly killed himself over facts like that....like FUCK....really....FUCK LIFE dude, i could jump off a bridge right now, cuz when green day came to austin i was there and the security gaurds said fuck off you can't come in the pit, and i'm fuck you, do you even know who is playing right now? and they said "WE DONT" CARE" and that was just........dude, no.......you can't say that....and keep me out of the pit, anywhere there was no pit and as it happened billy joe was on the floor and said while I was tripping ballz, "fuck this shit............" in front of parents and kids........"fuck this bullshit, you hear me!!!!!!!" whoever is listening, fuck this shit!!!!!" billy siad that with his own lips on the fuckin ground. I had similar experiences with perry f. and f mike. i just feel so screwed that i never got to seen billy...fuck manson, fuck blue oyster cult, fuck everyone, all i wanted was to see billy, since i was 11....he's going to die in 3 years...fml

It was 20 years ago, so lets get over it.
Darcy is managing the Pumpkins!!!
Who is jack? Oh bates¿ who that oh I'll google it
...later
Justin William Peter Hook’ son
James
Jimmy
Jeff
Jack
And Billy replace with a J
He is now Jilly
Aaron Stark That's his drag name
He's Jerry, now. Set the ray to him.
25 years later nothing has changed, Billy jumps in on every question and the rest just sit there.
not true...the rest just know what matters to them
you're right and it still sucks he does it.
Hired Hand Hobbit Bassplayer.
lol wherever billy goes the autism fallows lmfao great song writer tho
Maybe I missed it but there's nothing wrong with the question of "what's it like being an asian in a band"? It's pointing out the minority of asian band members in successful bands and it should be celebrated!
you´re not very bright are you? it´s rascist.
It more a sign of ignorance and curiosity not racism. Let be real seeing an Asian guitarist in sucessful band in the 90' a isn't common. Even now not super common but more people wouldn't say anything about it.
Jeff Whitlatch agreed. Majority of people use the race card immediately after someone asks a question about their race.
I didn't know there was an Asian in the band when i first heard them. Or a female bass player, until i saw their pictures later.
On the other hand, have you seen old interviews from Japan start talking to James in their own language? James is like "Sorry man, i don't speak Japanese".
Its something ive never really paid attention to is the fact james is aisan, hes just always been the guy that plays guitar in pumpkins
Yikes! Either it's really early in the morning - they're playing up the 'we don't care' attitude - OR, there are already BIG problems within the group. The body language says it all.
Thumbs up. I hope that's the case here and not something deeper.
It's a morning show on PST. I'd be asleep.
Is the guy on the left oriental? That’s soooo weird!
tf is wrong with you he's literally a founding member of the pumpkins
Be good if kroq took a leaf out of Billys book and stopped with the hard left leaning politics all the time. They're the most divisive radio station I've ever heard.
#WheresDarcy
#ProbablySmokingCrack
This is my moment, for now, I'm accepting this. No D'Arcy for now.
Great to see Jimmy in THIS place, after the Mellon Collie tour. He's having fun!
I can be happy for this setup. The shows could be hot.
Hermit the Log She is the one who is *not* in a condition to play though.
I hope Darcy is doing ok.
She seemed to bring out a lot of negative energy from everyone. But I would like to see her play with the Pumpkins again. That would be nice.
So it now takes two men to try and replace D'arcy. Epic fail.
if u dont like it , dont stay here . Its that simple ....
A potato could replace D'arcy.
They still just have one bass player, Philly.
idiot. you don't know anything about the pumpkins
please enlighten me genius.
Still that same ole egomaniacal Billy.
Dude it’s not a pumpkins reunion without Darcy! Maybe Billy’s ego will get out of the way one day for him to realize what the fans actually wanted… I know you’re the creative genius Billy but dude people want to see the band that they grew up with and loved… Not some pieced together version of it. Billys intellect gets in the way of his emotional IQ
There’s more to it than Billy’s ego, if you actually follow the subject of your comment you’d realize how unlikely and how bad of an idea it is.
they dont come together thinking what fans will feel or prefer . Its time u guys reflect on that and let go of D'Arcy not being back . She has probably more / other projects to fulfill ( never thought about that ? ) . Stop trying to investigate as to why , how , when , which sound more like a controlling way to feel with them . Your intellect is surely in the way of a great positive post . thats clear . It rules your life ......see where i lead you so far & enjoy .
You're so ignorant yet think you have it all figured out.
Bad souls bad songs bad band
Such a terrible awkward interview. But they had terrible awkward interviews since 98
