Mellon Collie tour/2xLP sequel

2020-10-24 by StrizzMatik | 43 Comments
Billy Corgan and The Smashing Pumpkins are certainly prolific lately. The band leader recently announced via livestream that the band is currently working on no less than two new albums - one being a thematic 33-song double-LP sequel to both Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness and the MACHINA/Machines Of God concept records, which would complete the conceptual trilogy. The second record is Shiny And Oh So Bright, Vol. 3, with the upcoming CYR double-LP being Vol. 2 in the trilogy.

Corgan also announced an upcoming Mellon Collie-themed 25th anniversary tour to commemorate the album, with plans to also do the same for MACHINA, which will also receive a future remix/remaster and "completed" release with an estimated 50 tracks total. The Kerrang! article and livestream is linked below:

It's a shame because he has such ambitious ideas and used to make such great music, but there's no way I'm listening to this

If he doesn't make the worst album in their discography with this one, I will be shocked...

Well, its really good to see Billy being super ambitious in 2020, but cmon, he´s been overdosing his fans since Siamese Dream come out.

I love everything he did until MC&TIS, but what came after its just too much to digest, althrought I enjoyed Elegy and Ogilala, and i wish he should stick to that formula.

The secret sauce in "successful pumpkins formula" is the rockin'-ass guitars that he neutered into this bland alt rock act thing he's got going on now. They need to be heavier and more interesting.

Listen to "Jellybelly", Billy. Do that again.

yeah the thick wall of guitars and then the sort of laid back vocals were a cool combination, and chamberlains drumming recently has been horrible what happened to him?

I think his heart is with the Jimmy Chamberlin Complex, their past couple releases had stellar drumming. SP is probably just a cash cow for Jimmy and James at this point, let Billy do whatever he wants in the studio and then make some money touring as a legacy act.

Billy Corgan has to be one of the most unlikeable artists oat right

No doubt. Corgan graduated from the same high school I did, all the teachers from his day that were still around basically highlight that he was pretty much a holier than thou prick back then too.

I’ve found the William Patrick Corgan stuff to be far superior to the newer Pumpkins material. Adore was the last Pumpkins album I found remotely interesting.

Also teachers and geniuses quite often are not compatible.

Sure enough. But another question is does the presence of artistic genius justify being, like, a total chode? Might say that empathy for people in your life is more significant than artistic impact on people outside it.

Especially if you eventually go on to form Zwan

Wow you unironically used "triggered" and casually tossed out retarded in the same paragraph, I'm *sure* your opinion is worth the effort it takes to listen and sigh at the same time.

I mean he's entitled to his own opinion, one which even porcupinetheater doesn't share with him because (imo) my statement was obviously apparent as a truism but if he disagrees whatever that's his business.

And fwiw I also agree that geniuses should try not to be assholes to people of normal abilities around them but we all know that rarely tends to be the case.

My old boss said he watched some documentary on the smartest guy in the world and he said holding conversations with people of even above average intelligence for him was equivalent to you and I talking to a child.
