The Smashing Pumpkins Community

[sunky]

Hey Guys,

Thought this would be worth talking about on here, over at SP.com for the next few articles we'll be going over a look at the SP community.

I've got the ball rolling with this article:
www.smashingpumpkins.com/news_5226

This idea has come from the band, they want to hear what the fans have to say ... expect some exciting things.

For me I've been so used to dealing just with our Aussie fan base for the past 6 years, I forgot about how much infighting that can happen, especially with US fans. You notice that tours get announced all the time, the only people that complain about ticket prices, tour venues etc are US fans? Anyway don't want to bash them, its a large generalisation.

There is a lot to look forward to on this community, a band that are together with members that want to be together. Its time to let go that James and D'Arcy aren't coming back ... they don't want to be back.

As the other articles come from the PMM crew you'll have more to discuss too.

But i think about tix prices - when bands as awesome as the ones we love come to Aus - we are so stoked that we dont care too much about prices.
Its not like they'll tour here the very next year and we can catch them then.


Yeah - I think most people (ie big SP fans) realise the original SP lineup will never again be.
Meh - Jeff and Ginge go all right. I just hope there isnt a revolving door policy with (additional) members. It would be nice to feel the way about the new kids that I once felt about James and Darcy

Well to hear what the fans have to say, PMM member Simon asked a few fans about the current state of the fan community. www.smashingpumpkins.com/news_5246
