Pumpkins "Reunion"

**Cactus Sid** · 05-10-2007, 05:57 PM

So the days are counting down towards both the new album "Zeitgeist" released (apparently) on the 7th of July, and the band's first performance since the "final Metro show" in Paris on the 20th of May.

So was just wondering what people are thinking about it, obviously no D'Arcy or James Iha involved, Melissa Auf Der Maur hasn't been involved and Corgan and Chamberlain basically wrote the whole album themselves.

The apparent touring muscians are Ginger Reyes from the Halo Friendlies, on Bass (Hot beyond words, I have no idea how good her playing is) and Jeff Schroeder of the Lassie Foundation on guitar (looks a bit geeky).

Read a few things on the net about them, apparently a bunch of people went up to the studio and they all sounded spot on, will have to see on that one. Also there was a load of pictures leaked onto the net of an apparent photo shoot, may have been for the first video, looks like the album is pretty politically charged if the pictures are anything to go by.

Some DJ said that the first single (Tarantula) sounds like "The Smashing Pumpkins doing Holiday by Green Day"

I hope to god that is bullshit.

Basically discuss, are they shitting on the legacy, expectations for the album, anyone going to see them?
