Wonderfull, an album of songs that arnt really as good as the originals but seem to be trying to copy them exactly. Yay!

[Goon]

I only wanna hear the Pumpkins play the Pumpkins though. If only they would unite once again and take over the world... a better place it'll be for at least me.

[DorkusMalorkus]

I can't see these being good at all. What type of bands are these? Like emo right? I'm not sure. The Pumpkins already have a Industrial tribute.

[Angelic_Demon]

Poison the Well = hXe, I think the rest is emo...

[DopeDanny]

Eighteen Visions!WTF! There goes another thing there gonna **** up

[TheGhostOfYou]

My chemical romance should've did a cover....I think his voice would go good with the pumpkins...

[ndustrys]

i cant believe they didn't cover butterfly with bullet wings or a killer in me but

[ndustrys]

oh well it should still be good

[dogsballs]

i think its bullet w/ butterfly wings dude

[Peterjs]

Sweet

[dogsballs]

i think its bullet w/ butterfly wings dude.

[Blackened542]

the pumpkins suck

[glowsun02]

:: sigh :: You wanna know how to tribute the Smashing Pumpkins? DON'T MESS WITH THEIR STUFF!

[im not mental]

this looks like it'll be as good as that hardcore tribute to GNR.

[kaliba]

i believe some bands can do very good covers of the pumpkins.... just probably not these bands

[Neon D-von]

might be cool. A Static Lullaby is pretty much screamo though.

[BucketheadRules]

I don't know how I can accurately express the sadness this causes me

[JimiOwnsYou21]

if any of you have itunes, listen to what they did to everlasting gaze, zero, and today... jus terrible

[washingmachine]

Okay its not The Smashing Pumpkins!...but still im looking forward to this as a huge Pumpkins fan, at the very lest it will be interesting

[JimiOwnsYou21]

well not as much today, but the singer in zero is friggin terrible, and everlasting gaze sounds over-metal of how it was supposed to be

[DanSumthing]

If you haven't heard the songs, don't talk crap about them.
What thell is wrong with people today?

[JimiOwnsYou21]

i did hear the songs, iTunes, thank you

[MATTTHEMOP]

wot have the smashing pumpkins actually done to music? have they changed anything? im just interested, because i dont really like them but id like to know more about them.

[5ironaudiorage]

Kids kids, its Bullet With Butterfly Wings, and Disarm, not "killer in me". And if anyone friggin loves the pumpkins like me. I have the best news for you. They are getting back together after Billy Corgan does one more solo record. Dont believe me? See for yourself. http://www.dailytexanonline.com/media/paper410/news/2005/06/30/Entertainment/ExPumpkin.Corgan.Releases.Solo.Debut-960154.shtml

Jimmy Chamberlin is already on board

[Blood_Covered]

^ this has been old news as of June 21st you shnoob.

[Pumpkins4Life]

guys guys guys, anyone who knows anything about the pumpkins knows that you'll never see the original line up ever again. i dont think any amount of money will be enough to put them all in one room. just enjoy them for what they were, the greatest alternative rock band of all time

[Digital_Sleeper]

At least Billy and James are still in the scene, Billy still making records and James will help Team Sleep (Chino of the Deftones side project) on their next album, he will produce or something.

[La_Deux_Machina]

GOD DAMN PEOPLE, THE SONG IS NOT CALLED A KILLER IN ME!! IT'S CALLED DISARM!! AND IT ISNT BUTTERFLY WITH BULLET WINGS!!! GOD THAT WAS JUST THE BIGGEST INSULT EVER!

On another note, i'm interested to hear this, won't be as good as the originals(duh, that's a given) but should be interesting...

[fenderplayer110]

ok who are those bands ( besides armor for sleep)? They sound like a bunch of no names that'll ruin everything Smaishig Pumpkins...why arent tribute cds ever good

[mikeNess1033]

yea get the titles right before you bash the article

[welton]

Those are like the worst bands ever.

[captain_bunker]

sounds kind of silly like when 6 feet deep did acdc.
wow. that cd's going to suck.
hahaha *wipes tear* haha

[captain_bunker]

oh yeah but the pumpkins rock.
shame they should realy consider doing a reunion show.

[pumpkins_rule]

NO NO NO I can see myself cringing as Poison the Well butcher my favourite Pumpkins song with heir horrible screaming.

[pumpkins_rule]

wot have the smashing pumpkins actually done to music? have they changed anything? im just interested, because i dont really like them but id like to know more about them.

The Smashing Pumpkins put out arguably the most famous double album of the 90's. They also were able to do different song styles very well, and have one of the most loyal fanbases that ever have existed.

[elcapitan1800]

This is kinda lame. Im not a tribute fan at all, but I know for a fact that the band Killradio was asked to cover "Bodies" for this album, which they did and did a very good job. Killradio is better than all of those bands, and yet they arent on the cd. Dumb....

[haunted_soul]

*sigh* tisk tisk ..
who on earth would u do 'we only come out at night' that sounds terrible ! and this is coming from a huge pumpkins fan . cant beat the originals but some of those will be fairly interesting to see how they turn out

[sirpsycho85]

i'm glad they picked awesome songs, but most of these bands i havent heard of, and poison the well is terrible and already butchered Today, why are they being allowed to butcher Soma

[sirpsycho85]

i've listened to the one they link you to...cherub rock is not a bad cover. the only thing that stuck out as bad is the random palm muting out of nowhere in the second verse. however, it really adds nothing to the song.

[sirpsycho85]

the whole cover i mean, adds nothing to the song.

[SuperAnalytical]

Vaux is not emo...from what I've heard anyways
I've been meaning to buy a Smashing Pumpkins CD, but hell, I'm sure it won't be this one. I know it's not BY the Smashing Pumpkins but just in general.

[DorkusMalorkus]

Is it a coincidence that my David Letterman blew up a pumpkin when I started listening to the itunes stuff?

I didn't like the songs...Although I thought 'eye' was good.

[opticon]

Smashing Pumpkins rock. I've got the heart from Mellon Collie tattooed on my arm, Billy better do right and reunite them so I can see them one last time

[JimiOwnsYou21]

I doubt they're gonna reunite... James might come back and agree to it, but there is no way in hell that D'arcy is gonna come back... i mean she left during their farewell tour, that's jus scheisty...

[burndttoast]

Crap bands covering Pumpkins... this should make for a good laugh.

[fireoptic]

well this blows. Shit emo bands covering Smashing Pumpkins. Total disrespect.

[Inimical]

Great, now I get to listen to crappy bands butcher some classic songs.

[CryingNut]

:: sigh :: You wanna know how to tribute the Smashing Pumpkins? DON'T MESS WITH THEIR STUFF!

i adgree

i just listened to cherub rock link
this makes my day so sad...

and also James left during their farewell tour as well
and i think billy said he will still do "smashing pumpkins" without James Iha and D'arcy but that would be so strange...

[PistolPeet]

Pumpkins rule. and from what i can see, all these bands suck
worst. album. ever.

[jimmcs2000]

tribute albums usually always suck. Billys style is great and unique and whoever covers it, no matter how good the bans are, they'll just **** it up.

[lithium_project]

Christ you think they could do better then 18 Visions...

If maybe..Muse was doing like Everlasting Gaze...now that would be ****ing awsome.

[kuki_anarPINEL]

i have heard the "armor for sleep - today"... it is the worst cover EVER done by a band. it is so shitty and lame you possibly couldn't imagine it

[Grateful_Undead]

They need to **** off and leave the pumpkins alone

[SMITH05]

This would be an amazing album if every band doing the covers didn't suck!HOORAY!

[SMITH05]

This would be an amazing album if every band doing the covers didn't suck!

[pearlJam_31490]

oh yes i cant wait NOT

[washingmachine]

Im sure they could have gotten better bands to cover their stuff, like as someone suggested Muse or The Mars volta (it would be interesting)or Coheed and Cambria Or even MCR. The Pumpkins were the greatest alternative rock band of the 90's and it would be interesting to see how today's more progressive or alternative rock bands could interpret there songs. I've listened to Churub Rock and it sounds like they are just trying to out and out copy the pumpkin's version. You cant out Billy Corgan, Billy Corgan!

[Inimical]

Or leave emo bands out of it. Since when are the Pumpkins emo?
