Smashing Pumpkins Band • Page 19

Every time I've seen the SP I have always felt like the opening acts have been weird....BUT I'm stoked to see Metric! I love Emily Haines stuff. Especially Broken Social Scene!!

 

I’ve been listening to an obscene amount of pumpkins lately. Feels like once every 5 years I try my hardest to get into the post Mellon Collie stuff and I just can’t dig it like I want to.

I wanted to try and give Zeitgeist another chance, but it’s nowhere to be found on Apple Music.

 

Adore definitely wore on me overtime. I recommend a rainy day for that one.

I loved Machina 1.
Didn't care much for Machina 2.

Loved Zeitgeist! (Youtube it)
Loved Oceania And Teargarden stuff.
Hated Monuments to an Elegy.

 

don’t listen to zeitgeist without the bonus tracks, especially “death from above,” “stellar,” and “ma belle,” they’re the best songs from the whole project

the first volume of teargarden is pretty worthless imo, the second is pretty ok, and oceania + “lightning strikes” is the absolute peak of sp mk 2. monuments is obv solid singles + filler but i really like “tiberius” and “anti-hero” anyway

 

I love every Pumpkins release, to varying degrees. I guess I can understand not liking Monuments because it's very different from the more grandiose works of SD and MCIS, but I think it's basically a great collection of singles.

 

Adore is my fav so...

 

adore was my first favorite album of all time and was also my first tattoo

 

what’s the tat?

 

Hoping for Apples + Oranjes

 

oh i just got "adore" in the album font tattooed on my wrist. only picture i have of it is slightly obscured

 

I Should clarify that I just didn't enjoy Monuments as much. It's not that I hated it....It just didn

That is sooooo cool!

 

sick tat!!

 

I have to say Machina 1 is my favorite of all the releases after Mellon Collie. Besides about four tracks, I can’t get into Adore at all. There’s something about Chamberlin’s drumming that makes the pumpkins records better for me.

 

A New Jersey show was just added to the tour, being labeled as a special "30th Anniversary Show." Apparently there will be more openers in addition to Metric at this show and feature new production and a special setlist.

Very tempting......I'm going to the NYC show the night before, but if this one is promising to be a unique show compared to the rest, I may have to call out of work and do both.

 

Yeah man! I'm thinking about driving down to Vegas to see them and then seeing them again in SLC

 

You think they'd do that in Chicago as well hmmmmm

 

Yeah the whole thing is strange, especially since its out in the middle of nowhere at a venue that has a really tough time moving tickets (no public transportation nearby and its like 2 hours outside NYC). Also, all that info was posted on BrooklynVegan, but I haven't seen the Pumpkins themselves make the announcement.

EDIT: Nevermind, SP just made a post about it on their facebook page. Sounds like this won't be the only special 30th anniversary show.

 

Looks like they just confirmed it!

"The night will be filled with special guests, a career-spanning set list, never before seen production, and more surprises from this momentous performance under the stars. This memorable show will be part of a limited series kicking off on August 2nd in Holmdel, NJ at PNC Bank Arts Center. Tickets on sale Friday June 1."

 

I just don't understand the concept, because isn't that what the Shiny and Oh So Bright tour is all about?

 

I love how the show is being advertised as "under the stars," even though 80% of the venue is covered haha

 

Maybe this show will include some of the Post Machina (Zeitgeist-MTAE) stuff? I wish I lived closer, I'd totally buy a ticket to this.

 

I'm with you. I don't mind additional shows, but what sets these apart? haha

 

I’m still sat here like “Announce UK/Euro Dates”

 

They're basically doing the same thing twice, and I'll be upset if they put more effort into these additional shows.

 

Looks like 'Solara' will be premiered on friday!
