I don't think Corgan wants to reform just to cash into some retro trend. He just sucks solo, even though the Pumpkins were almost a solo group, there was just something in the Pumpkins which kept Corgan from being overly shite. And he just misses that quality because he knows that he sucks at the moment.

I love Iha's record, Let it Come Down! It has such terrible lyrics but it's all endearing nonetheless.

By the way, I think some people are overexaggerating Corgan's vocals. His vocals only became supra whiny on MCIS.

[Firevine]

I don't actually hate the Pumpkins. In fact, with a different frontman I think they would have been acceptable.
Billy Corgan, I have absolutely no regard for him at all. I have a lot of friends in Chicago who have run into him over the years and I think 'God Complex' would scarcely cover his emotional problems.

the band Silversun Pickups sounds like SP without Billy Corgan! Huzzah!

What era Pumpkins?  Good, being Gish/Siamese Dream/Pisces Iscariot, or superomfgshitt, being Mellon Collie and Adore.

I kinda like Machina, but I'm placing that album outside of the Good to Shit Space-Time continuum here.

We all want glory

Do you know that this isn't true?
You should know that this isn't true.

Well, technicly. There are some individuals who I guess want to live normal lives under the radar. But then again, one man's glory is another's nothing. I meant "glory" more in the way of "we al lwantto make money doing what we enjoy." That would be "glorious". But I admit it's the wrong word, really.

[Johnny C]

By "glory" you mean "fulfillment," I think

[David_Dovey]

That being said, glory is still an appropriate word to use, cos we're not just talking about "Making money doing what you love," we're talking about "Making money doing what you love, part of which involves having thousands of people screaming approval at you at a time."

[Brian Majestic]

I really only ever hear the word "Glory" used in one of two contexts.

One is that awesome civil war movie.

The other one involves holes in walls, let's just say.

[CutMan]

Glory ?noun
1.   very great praise, honor, or distinction bestowed by common consent; renown: to win glory on the field of battle.
2.   something that is a source of honor, fame, or admiration; a distinguished ornament or an object of pride: a sonnet that is one of the glories of English poetry.
3.   adoring praise or worshipful thanksgiving: Give glory to God.
4.   resplendent beauty or magnificence: the glory of autumn.
5.   a state of great splendor, magnificence, or prosperity.
6.   a state of absolute happiness, gratification, contentment, etc.: She was in her glory when her horse won the Derby.

Allright, that actually is the right word then.

I recoil from the word 'glory'.

"Recoil"?! I knew it! You're a serpent!

[ScrambledGregs]

Or a gun.

[Johnny C]

That being said, glory is still an appropriate word to use, cos we're not just talking about "Making money doing what you love," we're talking about "Making money doing what you love, part of which involves having thousands of people screaming approval at you at a time."

No we're not. If I could eke out a living playing to crowds of between fifteen people and a hundred then I would. It is a huge assumption to make that most people would have more fun or be more comfortable playing in front of a fickle throng than in front of a few dedicated people who legitimately care about what is being produced, which I would rather have any day.

[Thrillho]

Same here.
