Smashing Pumpkins Auditions

2009-03-30 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 27 Comments
Billy Corgan is busy demoing new Pumpkins material that he's convinced "sounds like Spring," but in the meantime the band has set up what seems to be a legit avenue for aspiring drummers to audition for the drummer position vacated by Jimmy Chamberlin last week.

The e-mail blast reads: "Auditions will be held Friday, April 10 in Los Angeles for drummers who are looking to play with The Smashing Pumpkins. They should send their background info, photos and performance web links via e-mail only to pumpkinsdrummerATgmailDOTcom."

Good luck!

Itd be cool to audition, Jimmy is a big influence to me. But I live thousands of miles away, so that wont be happening.

^ lol

The internet may not, in fact, be English class, but it is, however, the perfect place to try and validate your opinions. No matter how shallow, narrow-minded, and idiotic they may be.

How does auditioning sound desperate
You'd rather him go "fuck life" and sit in a corner? You have to respect him for this

Woah dont get me wrong Puddle, Corgan is a fucking rock god in my book. But seriously after coming up with material such as "Gish" and "Siamese Dreams" and "Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness" and then doing something like Zeitgeist, you really should know when to just call it a day. I don't recall anyone saying anything about him needing to say ah "fuck life" and go "sit in a corner." He could very well go on and do something else music related.

Curse.

Why? Zeitgeist was pretty good--people seem to have difficulty realising that albums don't have to be mind blowing classics to be enjoyed

It is enjoyable, but just wasnt up to par with the rest of his material.

Quote: "Like make an album? " yeah but with a different band/ or a solo project young man.

I wish Billy wasn't too big of a toolbag to realize that without Jimmy, his (now) crappy band gets even worse.This Message Edited On 04.02.09

The Smashing Pumpkins are basically already his solo project, he's the only original member and no one even cares who the replacement musicians are. He should just change the name of the band to "Billy Corgan and the Smashing Pumpkins"
