You can't replace Jimmy Chamberlain when he's shooting heroin. Screw you, Billy Corgan.

Am I the only person who resents that Chamberlin lived, but Shannon Hoon and Bradley Nowell died?

Nowell? Yes. Hoon? Meh.

Ok, well, I do like one of their songs. But they have a lot to make up for for that No Rain song.

Jimmy's a friend of mine. Go fark yourself.

Glad to see he finally got his shiat straight. I'm sure it would've taken me years of hardcore drug use to tolerate Billy Corgan on a daily basis.

Say what you want about the douchebaggery of Billy Corgan, but Jimmy Chamberlain is a killer drummer.

Tell him congrats on getting away from Corgan's lame ass again and this time don't go back. I fully expect to hear Jimmy in some new kick-ass project in the near future.

Tell Jimmy that douches usually stay douches forever, so don't believe Billy Corgan the next time he calls and says he wants to get back together.

I haven't listened to Smashing Pumpkins or anything Billy Corgan since they broke up. Am I missing anything?

Dude, I'm sure he says that to all the pretty dudes. Did he return your phone calls, or do you have to suffer your anal bleeding in silence?

Jimmy Chamberlain is in the upper echelon of living drummers.

No. If you have Gish, Siamese Dream, Pisces Iscariot and Mellon Collie you're all set.

To that list I'd add the "e.p." entitled "Lull" (which, to cut the b.s., is actually just an extended CD-single for the track "Rhinoceros" off "Gish" but does have a few better-than-decent tracks found nowhere else [I particularly like "Slunk"]).

Remember the whole deal about Limp Bizkit making people sign over auditioned parts on guitar to the band? How much you wanna bet Corgan's gonna do the same thing?

Durst did the guitar himself (awfully), but he managed to steal over 100 or more guitar lines. None of which he can manage to play in the first place.

 
Tripp Johnston Private Eye 2009-04-12 06:48:11 AM  
Fark Corgan. I'm not gonna jump on the whole "Pumpkins Suck" thing because they don't. It's just him.

THIS... you even remembered Pisces Iscariot. Good Job.

The rest is just pablum.

There were a few good tunes from this incarnation of The Smashing Pumpkins. They are worth a listen on archive.org

I figured he left because he was tired of pretending he was in a band that had any sort of relevance beyond feeding Billy Corgans ego.

Exactly what I intended; no hate from Chamberlain here. Hell, he was overqualified in the first place.

Actually, the first song off Gish, I Am One, is the only song worth listening to. The rest of the album, and all the other SP albums, are garbage.

Wrong. The first second of that song was the only good piece of music SP ever created. It all went downhill after that.

Nothing sounds quite like an eight-o-eight.

 
syrynxx [TotalFark] 2009-04-14 12:08:34 AM  
Shouldn't it just be called "Smashing Pumpkin" if he's the only one left? Or maybe he could change the band name to "William P. Corgan's Rising Force". Because that would be funny.

 
MikoSquiz 2009-04-14 12:10:13 PM  
Durr? The Smashing Pumpkins have always had one of the all-time greatest rock drummers.
