2010 Tour

Ohh, harr, harr harr… so…. the Pixies tour again, eeeyh?

Smashing Pumpkins in 2010 isn’t even a tiny bit interesting in me opinion. But then again…. that’s just me.

Pixies would be kool to see again though. Been a while since the last time….. harr, harr, harr…

Could’ve just been Billy Corgan w/ Friends instead, he heh.

Aye, not gonna start with that again… hiccup, hiccup.

i agree.

i wouldn’t do much effort to see sp play again today. they’d have to play next door. or at least in a place i can reach with a short and simple train ride.

on the other hand, i’m seeing the pixies again at the end of may. even though i only saw them in october last year.

you can’t really compare the two though. sp is still about credibility and not selling out, or at least, that’s the message they’re sending out. pixies is clearly back to collect the money they never got when they were first around. no new music has been recorded since their reunion (with the exception of one song). but somehow, their way of doing it is more successful, in general, and to me.

i guess it’s a matter of what you want to do. clearly, billy never wanted to have a collect-the-money reunion, playing all the hits and cash in. and that’s respectful. but i fear i lost interest for the moment. (i’m not even sure if i’ll buy the first teargarden single.) maybe one day…

I can’t find an official site on this, but apparently they are playing a Woodstock festival in Brazil (why this is gonna be in Brazil I don’t know) but it would be great for those South American fans who have been waiting so long to see SP again.

I think that’s just a rumour. I wouldn’t count on it for now.

Yup, just a rumour. I remember that time when they said there was going to be a south american tour in late 2007.. at that time I was in Peru visiting my family, anyway it never happenned.

The only thing I like about the actual SP is that they might play a few shows in a really small crowd, and it haven’t been like this since 2000. It’s a great opportunity to enjoy a show with \"real\" fans and maybe meet the band.

I can’t wait to see how the new bassist plays out!

"blablabla & bla," <- New career in Promotion, A?

The Pumpkins also plan to tour South America and Australia in 2010 and hope to return to the U.S. later this year.[/quote:34xy3onc]

I hope they include New Zealand in ‘Australia’.

I think I will be headed to the Cleveland show since it is fairly close to where I live.

Now I have something to do this summer.

I went to buy my tickets today for the HOB show in Orlando…. $45 a ticket, plus TicketBastard fees… it will be $110 for my husband and I to go…I just about pulled out my emergency credit card… but it is going to have to wait. I have a freaking lien on my bank account from a creditor right now… So I really should be a good girl and NOT go…. right?

you should go.

^ this.

also, i’ll be very upset if you sell your spfreaks memorabilia, however, i will understand.

You know I wouldn’t let it go for under something rediculously crazy. I love it too much. But if somebody has lots of money and really really really wants it, well then they must really want it, and I couldn’t deny taking them for every penny they’ve got to turn my baby into just another item on my wall. You know I love it because I spent close to $100 getting it professionally matted and framed. I don’t even have photos of my second daughter framed in my house!!!

you’re selling your framed prize from the 2008 tour? the one with the teitbite7”?

Not unless a millionaire is a collector. There is an art show on the 25th and I am bringing it with me I am putting a caaaaarrrraaaaazzzzzyyyyy price on it… Figured I’d message the two people on the forum who want that record first. My house is in foreclosure, so if somebody really really would appreciate it enough to spend a stupid amount on it, how could I say no?

haha you make a good point della.

I think it’s funny how a week after I buy tickets to the Cleveland show, a show in Pittsburgh opens up later in July, which is way closer to me.

funny how that works..He just wants you to go to 2 shows

On another note we have 3 freaks going to the knoxville show and we finally all get to meet up
last rose, manilla and myself will be off to this show
fun times!

Went to the Norfolk show. One mile from my front door, it was sold out 1,500 people which surprised me.
Hole played there (the Norva ) on 6/26 (the day before the alleged worst ever concert)
only 400 people for Hole. Courtney was awesome, was having a great time, and not the mean, drugged, yelling Courtney. The Norva is a nice place and thats the first thing she said before playing, how its nice to play for small crowds.

SP was alot better than i expected, i knew they were going to be good, but this line up has got it down,
If Darcy and James came back, like Billy asked them knowing they wouldn’t anyway, it would not have been successful. Mike’s a good drummer, im not goin to compare him to Jimmy, buy Billy seems to think he’s fine. Nicole has great stage presence, never cared for D’racy she always looked like she wanted to be elsewhere. I knew Ginger wouldnt be with them long, and i really liked her. Jeff does a great job has good chemistry with Billy, unlike James who wanted nothing but all the attention and an ego he didn’t deserve. We know the history it was all Billy and Jimmy anyway, and when Billy let them play on an album, they played just what he told them. Now Billy doesn’t have to worry about a cracked bass player and a guitar player wanting to be more of a frontman.

SP sounded great, Billy is actually smiling almost the whole show, clearly happy about his new bandmates
and playing how he wants and what he wants. I like most of the new music, it still sounds like The Smashing Pumpkins, it’s a more powerfull and more controlled band now. He now has a real band. And all the members are working together wonderfully to get out the sound Billy wants us to hear. Mike actually broke his bass drum that night and Billy and jeff played Stumbleline and Disarm while they fixed the drums.
Billy was laughing and having fun, and they still play the old songs you want to hear, even though he would rather do all new music. He understands thier are fans who aren’t hardcore and come to hear some hits and to just see a concert. Lets give em a chance, it takes alot of hard work to do tours and record new music. I ‘m pretty much a hardcore fan, seen them 13 times since 92. I feel The Pumpkins have some great things in store for us.

Thanks for letting me give my opinion

this is a link to my Photobucket page. It has my concert pics on there. I’ve been shooting shows since 1984. I just love concerts, live music and will pretty much go to anything. So check em out. I’m still editing some shows and right now only have shows since i got a digital camera which just about equals the 35mm i’ve been using since 1984 and almost 2500 concerts. It’s almost like starting over, since i had more control with 35mm. Ok i’ll shut up now and hope you like the pics

Here’s a poster I grabbed at the end of the show in Columbus, OH.

some pics from front row in Knoxville

Oh yeah and I also got a drumstick from Mike Byrne…I dove over the rail to grab it off the floor-got some scrapes and bruises, but it was sooo worth it…Also the security guy wasn’t allowing photos to be taken, but as you can see I didn’t bother listening to his rules

They ARE playing in Brazil after all now: Sat. Nov. 20th – Sao Paulo. Planeta Terra Festival

yay for Brazil!

and Smashing Pumpkins is in the top 10 trending topics on Twitter today!

I like that top pic Carrie, Billy’s kinda sorta Elvis lip action going on

I was too chicken shit to sneak in a bunch of pics. Damn that security dude!

I’m still mad at myself for not getting a shot of Billy standing right over us with everyone’s hands reaching up to him. I will forever have that picture in my mind. *Le sigh*

That’s cool about SP trending on Twitter

Thats some very nice pics, Carrie.Thanks for sharing those

Just watch disarm.

I’m losing it.

I just hope Billy woud get his cute ass to Europe soon…

I’d be stoked if they announced a few dates on Mars soon, wearing the uniforms from the Rocket video. 😈

Muse are gonna beat them to be the first band to play in space.

Billy said they wouldn’t be touring again til at least April, maybe not even anything this year. I noticed on spfc that Billy has toured, solo or with Zwan or SP, every year since 1988 except for 2006 – there were only 2 small shows.
