The Vees with the Bigsbys are hilarious!

I like those Lonnie Mack Vs.  But I'm surprised Billy Corgan has two of them.

as a huge pumpkins fan i wish i could afford some of the stuff but sadly i dont think i could even afford the postage

Another big Pumpkins fan here and Siamese Dream had a massive impact on me, however I've got absolutely no interest in memorabilia and to be honest, this type of wholesale sell-off leaves a bad taste in the mouth for me.

If they knew what it was worth, they'd have that as a price + 20% maybe, and take offers. But they don't - hence the $1m or best offer. It's not worth a million.

That doesn't mean they don't have a pretty good idea, they just don't want to show their hand.

No, it's not a bid, that's the "$1m or best offer" converted to GBP since you're viewing from the UK.

Ah right, I read the 209 Offers as being bids

Yeah. I gave up trying to defend Corgan a long time ago. He's given in to bitterness. Anyway. Like he gives a fuck.

I think he's just moody Seen pumpkins twice, first time was shit.. Billy... Sorry.. William was in a bad mood and it really showed... Second time he was on a good mood, laughing and joking through the show and it was one of the best gigs I've ever been to. Me and the wife during that gig decided that tonight tonight would be our first dance at our wedding Billy may be pretentious and bitter, but still love everything he does. Except Zwan. Nobody loves zwan.

I saw them twice too back in the day - Pretty shit both times except for "Drown" on the second go which was the ultimate closer. 

(The first time I saw them Jimmy had left for rehab and the second time he was back but Darcy had left - Matt Cameron as a tour replacement was great but Jimmy is next-level.)

As a studio band though I absolutely - Adore them. Heheheheh.

I love Zwan! I thought that was a great record, different vibe to SP, but some brilliant moments and I also think it's some of the finest drumming Jimmy has ever put on record.

I agree.


i only saw pumpkins once on the zeitgeist tour.  Missed them when I was younger despite being a massive fan since my teens.   Billy complained at us for the whole gig.  Didn't seem happy that we all still loved his early work so much.

Maybe I should give it another try try try.

Saw them the first time they played the barrowlands in Glasgow - great first 30 minutes or so then everyone except Billy troop off stage and he starts moaning about fuck only knows what. Glasgow audience puts up with it for about 10 minutes then someone lobbed a pint of something over him and he fucked off and didn't come back on

First 30 minutes was good - Billy Corgan is a massive dobber though - your a musician, play music we dont give a fuck what you are upset about

I didn't like it at the time but in retrospect it was better than most of the later Smashing Pumpkins material.

It'd all be great if he wasn't an Infowars nutjob now

UnclePsychosis

I also love the Zwan record, it's great.

Very much had to detach the art from the artist to keep enjoying his work. I'm glad he never got back to me when I sent my video audition for the bassist spot six or so years ago

More love for Zwan here.

Especially for Paz.
