2009 tour guessing?

Yeah, late spring/summer, I guess.

Unless of course, fans only stay for the singles and skip the rest of the gig, meaning SP will go, play 3 songs, then leave – but it’ll be cheap

I just hope they come to Pittsburgh for this round of tours because last time they came I missed them
and I don’t wish to miss them perfrom again.

i hope they come anywhere within a 6 hour drive of memphis, if so i am there!

and i hope they do something like the 4 day pass thing that billy mentioned. that would be so freakin cool! i don’t care if i have to dig myself further in debt by using a credit card, i want to see them again!

Agreed, I’d love the 4 day residency that Billy mentioned…. since he has family in FL, he better come here!

HA! Would be funny if SP takes the same attitude towards concerts. Why wouldn’t they? Play one new single, then encore, then peace out! Makes no cents, right?

Hope they come to europe this year….
ppplleeaase!!

(not just some festivals).
billy, if you read this, come to germany, you can stay in my home for free.

yes i would love them to come to Portugal for a propper concert, not on a festival.

but i guess we will not have a tour before summer….

i love the mini residency idea too!

Oh yes, and hopefully BC will get his ass to Europe this time.

well isn’t that just some superfantastic news

most likely not all, but most likely more than 1

let them announce the venues first. then i’ll be able to tell if i can bring in a digital camera, or if i’ll have to settle with my cell phone.

Awesome!

mind you-

and not to spoil any excitement!-

these shows are currently presented and ‘billed’ as Billy Corgan with The Spirits in the Sky….etc etc etc…

as far as we ‘officially’ know as per now:
The Smashing Pumpkins are: BILLY CORGAN

however:
these shows are NOT presented nor billed as:
The Smashing Pumpkins….

i’d say: ‘hold your horses’!!!-

to me this sounds and ‘reeks’ like a genuine chance for Billy to keep the ‘spirit’ of and from the ‘memorial’ show alive, plus: to ‘road-test’ some of his new and recent tunes’—

under the ‘Billy Corgan’ bill and moniker, he can do whatever he likes, want, whatever; for sure: maybe éven more so, with the ‘help’ of/from The Spirits in the Sky…

under the ‘The Smashing Pumpkins’ bill and moniker, all would be high-profile news, headlines, major scrutiny and all…

i’d say we’re seeing a ‘ZWAN’-thingy here-
– just start up and out small scale, intimate venues, maybe even kinda like- totally insanely small clubs or bars or whatever or last-minute gigs or open-mic stuff; just low-key…
– here, there, anywhere; pop-up; pop-under…
– get some buzz going, but nothing too big or crazy…
– build upon that, let it grow, naturally…
– test songs, structures, ideas, lyrics, themes; whatever on a live audience…
– take note, evaluate it all; record the best; release those; as an EP; by what name?- that just HAS to be: The Smashing Pumpkins…
– tadah!- keeping expectations low and still getting the feedback you need and want-
– tadah!- maintaining the high-profile band-name and releasing when all is due!-

crazy idea?

just my two cents

as per now-
as per as much as i know-

there are NO current plans for TOURING by THE SMASHING PUMPKINS-

<<< time will tell >>>
