I'd be willing to bet that 90% of today's youth have never even heard of the Smashing Pumpkins.

Why do you say that? Would be a pretty fast turn around considering he has toured Damn. extensively

Two years is a pretty average turnaround for Kendrick. And, unless he's gonna go for something extravagant like TPAB again, he only really has to select a beat and rap over it so I don't think the tour will have limited his creative output.

[Magic Rat]

Not to rain on anyone's parade but Kendrick didn't set the world on fire headlining Electric Picnic back in September by all accounts.

I asked about Kendrick a few days ago and was told he's too expensive and has no new music. Now everyone's talking about him again, what's changed? I've tried reading back through the thread but my works computer is a pain in the ass and a lot of the pages don't load.

Essentially a rumour that he's doing Rock Wercther, the same weekend as Glastonbury.

Somebodies give us something to go off and he is rumoured for Werchter so back on the scene also the Scum rumoured it so we believe he could do the other slot after Macca and Cure

[BoringMidlander]

Saw the Smashing Pumpkins at Wembley Arena last night. Was truly brilliant, stage set up was spectacular, setlist was a great collection of almost exclusively 'classic era' tunes (as well as a few covers and the compulsory new single). This current line-up is a formidable live act, playing so much better than the last couple of incarnations. 

Sadly, think they'd have needed a full reunion with D'Arcy to be seen as anything like Pyramid headliners. Would do a great job on the Other I reckon. Set would need reducing from 3hrs though.

Cheers lads, fingers crossed, would love to see him there.

Is that Corgan as a child? Nightmarish.

 

Jealous about the gig by the way, just couldn't quite justify the cost.

I don't think that would make any difference to the average Glasto punter to be honest.

Very true, it's just being able to pitch it as a 'complete classic reunion' would generate more hype than drummer and guitarist return. Certainly would have improved sales in the US leg which were mostly good, but shaky in some regions. Either way, they'd have been a hugely outside bet. Probably play the Other if they do a summer festival tour for their new album out next month.

The images and videos throughout were equal parts mesmerising and terrifying! Basically Corgan debating his saintliness and his own unworthiness. Wound up going for golden circle, which is nonsense in a venue Wembley Arena's size, but normal standing was far too back to justify the £80.

Arctic monkeys just released a behind the scenes production video, if you go to 8.29 mins in you can see a very familiar outline. I think the writing is on the wall guys make of it what you will.

They were showing this film at the AM:ZM exhibitions in London and Sheffield.

Clutching at straws, but I'd love to see the Monkeys again.

Anyone know what they're like live?

Pearl Jam are a rubbish gammon band who need to stay away from Glastonbury. 

[Winslow Leach]

I love it when we try and decipher triangles, one of the most common of all shapes, in album art/music videos/random pictures of artists as proof of anything at all.

[Guest]

Sometimes a triangle is just a triangle.

Sometimes is dairylee

Sometimes the snow comes down in June

Sometimes a Porch is a metaphor and sometimes it's just a Porch.
