i think it is about time we all get over the smashing pumpkins. i know they were a great band and all. but we are living in the past. we should be living in the present and future. we should be concentrating everything on ZWAN!!! enough of all these "tribute night crap" (no offence to sunky and bree u guys rock  ) but any way i thought i would say that. you should devote this whole site to ZWAN and get rid of the whole SP thing aswell. you guys have a great site here and i think you can go pretty far. well thats all i have to say. |

WHHHAAAAAAA!!!
serious josh - i think you're missing the point ...
sorry man - unless you're a TRUE pumpkins fan - those words should never be spoken.
Why would we get rid of smashing pumpkins side of it - we are a fan site for both types of fans - sure we could just be another ZWAN fan site and blend into the crowd of all of them - BUT WHY! ....
we love the pumpkins - just becuase they are not making music - doesn't mean we should just forget about them ... thats crazy talk.
Zwan are great and all - but they'll never be the Pumpkins. They'll never be able to capture the times in my life as The Smashing Pumpkins have and continue to do.

Worst post ever.
The Pumpkins were, and are still, the greatest band ever.
I think you'd be hard pressed to find a Zwan fan who wasn't that way because of the Pumpkins.

i think it is about time we all get over the smashing pumpkins. So you're saying that once your favourite bands break up and are no longer producing albums and whoring themselves to MTV, that you should just forget they ever existed and that other people were fans too? That is the most ridiculous comment I've ever heard... My favourite band next to the Pumpkins is Crowded House. They broke up years ago, but I still call myself a fan and if I know of any other fans we'll chat about the albums etc, just as we do with the Pumpkins. It's the equivalent of saying "Well my Mum's dead and gone now, so it's time to forget her and move on." Do you understand? Although we're Zwan fans, we'll still keep the Pumpkins close in our hearts and cd players. |

ienough of all these "tribute night crap" (no offence to sunky and bree u guys rock ) . shit man! - that really pisses me off! ... these - we have done one. It took 3 months of organiseing and promoting - we had a huge turn out ... and saying we rock - but basically cutting down something we organised doesn't really make sence man. so we spend our time on Zwan - what have YOU done to promote Zwan lately then? ... |

he ate breakfast this morning, didnt you hear!!  i just think this thread needs to be pulled because it borders on the stupidity guidlines that we have my advice is to just keep these sort of thoughts to yourself cos they wont be welcome on a board like this, maybe goto the "Nirvana" board (or even a "britany board) and say it, but if you are there then maybe you should heed your own advice cos "Nirvana" (and britany is shit we all know it) are has beens and they dont deserve a mention here. in closing i think that pumpkins bashing is better left to the ppl that like dying early in life cos there are a few blood suckers amongst us that will not hesitate in destroying the ppl that start these sort of threads.. nuff said.... |

Parka, you bash Pumpkins bashers and then bash Nirvana yourself. Sorry but that's a little hypocritical.
To each their own, but I don't think that's Nirvana's contribution to music can be dismissed so off-handedly.

yep but i bash nirvana cos most of the fans only nkow 2 songs, you can guess which ones they are i dont think there will be a true nirvana fan, and what do you expect this is a pumpkins board i dont want to know about nirvana here im here for the pumpkins
nirvana arent bad, there just stuck in the "its cool to like something popular group" which is unfortunate
to trully like nirvana throw nevermind in the bin and listen to everything else, thats the nirvana you should like.

You could say the same things about the Pumpkins - how many people would have only liked the Pumpkins because of Today, Disarm, etc? How many people stuck it out when it wasn't so cool to be a Pumpkins fan?, ie - the "true fans" you speak of. I think that you can assess this by comparing MCIS sales with Adore sales.
Don't judge a band by their fans.
And throw away Nevermind? If it wasn't for that album, a lot of the music you listen to today (include the Pumpkins) wouldn't exist. They single-handedly kickstarted a dead horse.

i dont think there has ever been a really cool time to like the pumpkins, they have always been a sort of a backseat band, like when someone asks you what you listen to very rarely would the pumpkins be said first, im different they would be the first i say, without change, i spose the point im making is there is either hardcore pumpkins fans or the ppl who hate them with a passion for whatever reason, there no in between. With Nirvana its different they had/have them all, ppl who loved them, dispised them, listen to them without even knowing what there listening too, and love it then when asked if they like them go "who".
i think i may have gotten sidetracked but still the original point is this is a pumpkins board too, so any derogatory claims towards them like "their dead and gone, build a bridge and get over it" arent welcome, feel free to write them just dont expect replies that are democratic.
