Zachary Moore
Smashing Pumpkins (2006-pres run)
Daniel James
Pixies predated Pumpkins though
Sebastian Reed
Silversun Pickups
Matthew Torres
Until Courtney Love's witch spell over Billy is broken there will be no further Pumpkin kino in our lifetime
Owen Adams
I second Silversun Pickups
Jackson Ramirez
Giving them a listen for the first time now and this is a very good call
It's not ripping off Pumpkins but I can definitely hear the sound influence. I like it
Jace Young
hell yeah

Jason Wood
Who cares
Lincoln Harris
Billy Corgan had hair?
Landon Miller
My Chemical Romance
Luis Bell
Surprisingly kino hair in the early 90s
If he was balding or something I get shaving it off but doesn't seem to have been
Hunter Diaz
Pre-Mickey Rourke + meth D'arcy is marriage material.
Thomas Jenkins
>Corgan was the Vince MacMahon of his own pro wrestling company
What the fuck
Andrew Evans
No he was infamously balding starting with the Gish tour where you can see it in some shots
Jordan Morales
Growing up I had always heard what an asshole Billy was but when you consider that half his band were drug addicts then him insisting on recording all the album parts himself makes a bit more sense
I like his Rogan interview. Very weird guy (e.g. talking about buying expensive cars in cash because its funny and not quite getting why Rogan wasn't laughing) but he seems very redpilled on the music industry
Hudson Morgan
Shit you're right
That's a rough balding pattern
Brandon Taylor
>known generally as a grunge band that pivoted
>Corgan seems to have viewed them as psychedelic rock the whole time
I wasn't a fan of their later electronic sound but they weren't wrong to keep evolving with the times
Isaiah Reyes
they definitely folded in elements of grunge during the siamese dream/melon collie era, but billy was always a guitar virtuoso kid so his references were always in 70s rock music and metal of the 80s, plus in their earliest incarnation they were a goth/post-punk band, they changed sounds alot, but I think they got lumped in with the grunge thing when they were pulling alot more from hard rock/metal and shoegaze at the time
Logan Smith
Yeah even Siamese Dream is one of the more original grunge albums out there, it's so varied compared to something like Pearl Jam imo
Imo you get bands who do something like
>We play [genre] so that mean the music needs to have X, Y and Z characteristics to remain that way (e.g. pizza thrash bands like Municipal Waste)
or
>oh fuck no one wants [genre] anymore, we need to change to [other genre] to try and keep up with the market (e.g. Black Album Metallica dumping thrash for groove metal)
Pumpkins kept evolving it naturally (read: playing things Billy liked) which produces a better result overall despite a few missteps imo
