Smashing Pumpkins ?????

[Tylerdurden31]

I read this on a website over there....



Smashing Pumpkins are strongly rumoured to be reforming this summer for live shows - with Coachella touted as their comeback.

Singer Billy Corgan has made no secret of the fact he wants to reform his old band, and NME.COM has learned the band are set to make their comeback at the Californian festival on April 30.

What the fuck is wrong with this thread?

As I said in my "reasons not to go post" the Pumpkins are a bottle that needed to be aged a bit longer. I've seen them 3 times and they delivered once partly because they played Drown along with some Gish cuts & Swervedriver opened for them. I speak from experience. They are hit or miss live so take that into consideration if yr hopin a plane to Germany this Summer.

Obviously they aren't holding out for Lollapalooza, so why not play Coachella a month before these gigs?

It's extremely odd on their part...do you think they are a tad intimidated by the Coachella crowd, maybe too judgemental? (in case they sound like shit being back for the first time in years) I cant figure it out for the life of me why they would skip us.

[Kampy]

maybe they'll play Bonnaroo and I'll get to see them there. We'll know by Feb 14.... hope so!

[josephv909]

i hope they headline saturday night. that would be awesome.

[sonicdeath]

Yes they are hit or miss live. I've seen them play like shit.

It could be the Smashing Pumpkins are not playing Coachella because they were not asked to play. I read an interview of someone who worked for Goldenvoice. The interview was done shortly after Coachella happened last year. In the inverview they said they never made an offer to Smashing Pumpkins. And they did confirm the Smiths were offered $5 million last year and they turned it down.

i think they probably wanted too much money and they thought rage was a better choice. which it probably is ore of a draw, after all the pumpkins probably will play lolla
