The Smashing Pumpkins Lives! Long Live The Smashing Pumpkins!

when i watched "The Transformers" movie, one song on the soundtrack really got my attention. It played at the end credits and my immediate reaction was "shit! daw smashing pumpkins man na nga kanta?" Billy Corgan's vocals was unmistakable as well as the "sound" of the song. (ang tunog sang kanta hehe...) But since Billy's on a solo career i thought that a reunion would be impossible. 'til i stumbled across this video. The Smashing Pumpkins was indeed revived -- a month ago! hahaha huli man daw sa balita this was a cause for celebration!

This is the music video of the first single of the new album of THE SMASHING PUMPKINS entitled 'Zeitgeist'. The song title is 'Tarantula" (which really doesn't have any relation to the song itself -- go figure...) Just bought the CD and everything that's good about the SP is there. Billy Corgan has always been the driving force behind the music of the Pumpkins, and Jimmy's drumwork is flawless as usual. Nevermind that James Iha and Darcy aren't back this album still rocks! Though "Zeitgeist" is no MCIS, the tone and over-all feel is more of "Siamese Dreams" SP's second album...hahaha this is the happiest i've ever been these past few weeks...listening to the music that defined my High School life. Long Live The Smashing Pumpkins!!!!
