Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
According to a short post on its Web site, the reunited Smashing Pumpkins are recording their first album in seven years with producer Roy Thomas Baker, who is best known for his work with Queen but resurfaced last year to produce the sophomore album from the Darkness.

Beyond frontman Billy Corgan and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, it is still unclear who else is involved in the new incarnation of the Pumpkins. The group is now being managed by Irving Azoff, who also works with Christina Aguilera and the Eagles.

Corgan stunned fans in June 2005 when he took out a full-page ad in the Chicago Tribune and Sun-Times announcing his intentions to "renew and "revive" the Pumpkins, who split acrimoniously in 2000.

Well Sydders, I never cared much for The Pumpkins myself either & the mention of Queen, The Darkness, Christina & The Eagles has made damn sure I ain't gonna care now!!!:lol

C'mon you gotta love a man who can wear animal prints....

I should rename this thread:

"See, its true. Nobody gives a shit about the Smashing Pumpkins anymore". :upyours

True...I enjoy listening to some of their stuff, but I couldn't give a stuff whether they're together or not.

So, this thread has been a total failure then.

I wouldn't say a total failure.

That was pity talking. :boohoo


I should make a "Who Is Hotter - Jake G or Johnny Depp" poll.

That would be hugely successful on this board.

NOW you have my attention.

[Sydneyfan]

NOW you have my attention.


:lol You are going to end up horribly typecast you know.

[Quincy]

You mean I'm not already?

[Sydneyfan]

True. Best to give in and go with the flow then really.

I'd vote for Johnny.

[Quincy]

I'd vote for Johnny.

I'm going to need to do some serious thinking on this one.

I was sure you'd choose Jake - given your preferences.

That one would be too difficult!

[Sydneyfan]

:lol I was thinking of you when I wrote that.

[foggy]

Well, they are my boys and all. ;)

On the subject of The Smashing Pumpkins, they're one group that completely passed me by. I've liked the songs I've heard, but just never felt inspired enough to actually check out an album.

Well Johnny's performance in that desparado sequel countered the gay cowboys.

And we're back on topic......

Actually I've never been a fan either. Can't say I've even been all that taken with the limited material I've heard.

When they break up again I'll probably make a thread about it though.

:lol

....and we're off topic....

What is this Desperado sequel you speak of?

Okay, ta - heard of it but never seen it.

You have quite a dilemma going on then.

I liked Desperado a lot...but Once Upon never really struck my fancy

I think Willy Wonka wins it.

You're probably not seeing it from quite the same angle Quincy is.



I don't really like Westerns/cowboy movies very much as a rule.

[Sydneyfan]

I think Willy Wonka wins it.


He's taken the lead then. :upyours

I'm expecting a flood of votes from everyone else any minute now.

[Sydneyfan]

....or not.
