Rock Band Gets More Smashing Pumpkins, Mother Hips Next Week

GodKiller — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 19:01:06 MDT

I looove pumpkins, first 4 albums are so freakin amazing on guitar and wow the drums, Jimmy Chamberlin (i think) is my favorite drummer ever, my style of playing drums is very close to his too.
But my guitar playing isn't like Corgan's at all, he's so weird in his solos...I love to play that when I have fun jams with other musicians, if they know pumpkins that is...a very unique group in many ways.
I agree it took me time to get used to the voice...but the lyrics are good if you take time to read and in the end it just feels right ;)

As with most Pumpkins stuff, I'm looking forward to the instruments.

Their drum timing seems so wierd compared to most other stuff.

But god, his voice. When we get the fake band together, I'm lowering the in-game vocals and upping the live singer's.

@supercrap: Euuuch. I hate when people say stupid shit like this. Get over yourself.

That pic makes BC look like Quasimodo!

But yeah, I'm excited for more Pumpkins. Anytime.

Well, the fact that these songs come separately and not bundled together makes sure I won't buy any of them, not at over 3$ a song. Any new word about the canadian pricing on the playstation store?

The catch with Zero is that you can only get a perfect score by kicking out your two guitarists and performing their parts for them.

I can write better song lyrics than Billy Corgan too. I wish Rock Band would grade me on that.

The Mother Hips are great. At least their song Red Tandy is.

Wait, Smashing Pumpkins? Does your meter get higher if you cut your wrists while you play their songs?

My words on this, on SP: I saw them alive two weeks ago and I'm a 90s kid! It was epic! *squeals*

'Sides, both Ginger and Lis are super hot.

Zero! I'm so excited. When I saw that Zero was on the rumored DLC list, I freaked out. So glad it's in Rock Band now.

woot, Zero! I was just listening to Aeroplane Flies High today and thinking how it'd be great to get Siamese Dream and/or Mellon Collie in Rock Band.

@StevenRafael: There was a comic a while ago called Billy the Egomaniac-- a parody of Billy Corgin and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.

Considering the most recent Smashing Pumpkins Album as just as many original pumpkins as his solo CD its clear noone likes him. And that picture is certainly not the most flattering.

But I still love them.

Well looks like it's a week I'll be skipping. Nothing there really peaks my interest Zero isn't exactly my favorite Pumpkin song ever.

The Pumpkins are one of my all time favorite bands, and one of my biggest influences as a (real life) musician. I'll definitely be getting Zero on tuesday, to take a break from GTAIV...

Any Pumpkins track for Rockband is an insta-buy for me. Keep it coming.

I have an irrational hatred of Billy Corgan. His whiny assed voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Just thought I'd bring that up.

StevenRafael — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 18:37:01 MDT

I have a certain group of friends that hate Billy Corgan and Smashing Pumpkins all together. The main complaint is that he's a pretentious idiot. I have no idea why either..
Besides coming from the same highschool as him, just 20 some years later, I can't imagine having any basis on which to compare themselves to him. They're mostly music majors, but they're not musicians.

Personally, I like the song, but I probably won't even remember to pick it up. I'm more excited about the upcoming Pixies Doolittle album.

Hell yeah, Zero!

I need as much Pumpkins as possible. Preferably more from Gish and Siamese dream.

You know what, just give me both of those as full albums.

@Moridin:

The pixies are so awesome. I'm right there with you.

Yay for Zero! That's one of my favs from them. The rest of the download songs, not too much. I can take a break from GTA4 for a bit to play Rock Band.
