This tour may have been greeted so far with possibly damaging press and lackluster sales, but it at least seems to be pointing to the fact that the Smashing Pumpkins were at one time one of the most massively successful bands in the world.
#GISH SMASHING PUMPKINS SERIES#
The Pumpkins are reuniting! Kind of! Most of them! And they’re going on tour! And yes, this series of posts will also find me working very hard to come up with different names for Billy Corgan, as I’ve been doing with Trent Reznor’s name in my Nine Inch Nails series. The most recent Pumpkins news, while still somewhat bogged down by Barely Competent’s big fat dumb mouth, has actually been kind of about the band. What I mean to say is that for the last 15 years or so, when we hear mention of Smashing Pumpkins, it is almost never actually about the music. Sometimes Corgan will rocket back into relevancy for a week simply by virtue of the fact that we all love making fun of him. For the better part of the last 15 years, these mentions have largely concerned themselves with Billy doing something strange or saying something ridiculous. While it was not an overnight smash, it was well-reviewed and would eventually be certified Platinum by the RIAA.īilbo Corgan and his Smashykins pop up in the news every year or two. The Smashing Pumpkins’ debut album was released in May of 1991.
