According to World Entertainment News Network, Billy Corgan's desperate attempts to reform the SMASHING PUMPKINS have reportedly paid off, with the
band rumored to be playing at this April's Coachella festival in California.
Corgan began his campaign last June when he famously took out an ad in the Chicago Tribune revealing his desire to reunite the group ? who split in
2000.
The ad read: "When I played the final SMASHING PUMPKINS show on the night of December 2, 2000, I walked off the stage believing that I was forever
leaving a piece of my life behind.
"I naively tried to start a new band, but found that my heart wasn't in it. I moved away to pursue a love that I once had but got lost. So I moved
back home to heal what was broken in me, and to my surprise I found what I was looking or.
"I found that my heart is in Chicago, and that my heart is in the SMASHING PUMPKINS."
Drummer Jimmy Chamberlain also admitted he'd favor a return to the rock world, saying of Corgan, "I intend to reach out to him.
And a recent entry on Corgan's web site hinted further at the band's reincarnation: "The surprise I have in store for you all will be announced soon
enough.
"Hold on to your horses. After all, good things surely comes to those who wait. Don't you just love the suspense?"gavin - 1-19-2006 at 07:52 PM

I am going out on a limb here, I love and own early Pumpkins stuff, but I could care less about this. Just more synth pop wannabee crap I'm sure, and
Corgan is a douchebag.BDx13 - 1-20-2006 at 12:51 PM
i saw them at lollapalooza one year and they were heavy as shit live.moron - 1-20-2006 at 01:11 PM
I like the Smashing Pumpkins. Sue me. I wont go out of my way to see them, but I still spin Siamese Dream from time to time.clevohardcore - 1-20-2006 at 01:37 PM
HAHAHAHAHAHAA this thread is hilarious......Gooch - 1-20-2006 at 03:34 PM
I heard about this the other day on the radio, but I thought the person said it was going to be Corgan and scabs, no other OG members. I could be
wrong though.
