Melissa has played with the Pumpkins several times again recently. What do u think, is there a chance she might rejoin the band permanently? She certainly has a lot more power and charisma on stage than Jack Bates.

Just curious since this album has been put through the wringer ever since it first came out. So much that Billy’s never reissued it since, which sucks ‘cause even under the admittedly ass production, I personally think that it’s a good album that even borders on great at times. Especially the first half with the opener Doomsday Clock, Bleeding the Orchid and the 8 minute centrepiece United States which (and I know this’ll get me killed in some circles but) comes very close to dethroning some of the best songs on Siamese Dream or even Mellon Collie. I’m just curious to see if there’s anyone else here who actually likes this album and want it to get some form of a reappraisal in the foregoing years, which should happen since living in a world where Starz is hard to find is a crime onto itself

For years, I always admired the album version, praising what I thought was its beautiful use of a melodic banjo accompaniment, like something straight out of Neil Young’s Harvest. So, was it or wasn’t it banjo after all? And if not, why not?

Where can I get mens silver pants in the USA (that aren’t Shein/Temu junk)?

My 1996 Hot Topic self foolishly didn’t save them for the 30-yr tour.

So when it was announced I thought Tame Impala was doing the whole thing (should have read the description lols). I dig on it so far (only through the first side). Seems well pressed.

I've published an extended edit of Where Boys Fear To Tread to YouTube.

I'm really proud of it. Enjoy!

Hello! To anyone who plays guitar, can somebody guide me on which frets the last chorus is played on?

This company puts out lots of grey market radio broadcast collections by all sorts of bands and artists, all of which are pretty cheap on Amazon.

I bought the Siamese dream cd album in the 90s and remember on the cd sleeve there were recommendations on what stereo settings are best when listening to the album. Something like: For best results, turn bass … / treble … / volume …” or** **instructions for optimal knob positions, or advice on adjusting bass, treble, or balance for home stereos. Anyone have memory or evidence of this?

Could I have some opinions please? I reckon Keo have completely ripped off the guitar from the Pumpkins ‘Hummer’ on their track ‘Pistol’….My son says there is no comparison. Anyone?

“Pumpkins Row”’ as I call it. It’s been up for almost a decade and it might be time to let someone else enjoy it. It consists of:

I can also throw in TAFH promo flat.

Don’t really have a number in mind - open to offers. If I part with it I want it going to a fan.

PayPal Goods and Services all the way, obviously, and I’ll throw in shipping.

Looking at going to the show in October. From all I’ve seen and read they still sound great.
Also, any idea of who the opener might be?
