Jimmy looks like he’s leaning to the side to let one go lol
Other then that, I am anxious to hear the song myself. I can’t help but think of the \"G.L.O.W.\" wrestling organization everytime I see the title. Knowing Billy’s love for wrestling, if this song is about a woman kicking ass, then we’ll know what the title refers to lol

I read this at MySpace, with love from the German Pumpkins Fans:

Der dazu passende Presserelease von Activision Publishing:
The Smashing Pumpkins to Debut New Single ‘G.L.O.W.’ as Part of Downloadable Songpack Exclusively for Guitar Hero(R) World Tour
In-Game Model of Vocalist and Lead Guitarist, Billy Corgan, and ‘Today’ from Four Times-Platinum Album Siamese Dream To Rock On-Disc at Launch
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept 02, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ — The Smashing Pumpkins, one of rock’s defining and most acclaimed bands who’ve sold over 30 million albums, is coming to Activision Publishing, Inc.’s (Nasdaq: ATVI) Guitar Hero(R) World Tour in a ground-breaking way as the band will debut their new single \"G.L.O.W.\" exclusively in the game. This marks the first time a band has recorded a new song exclusively for the franchise which will be released afterwards, giving Guitar Hero(R) fans exclusive access to Smashing Pumpkins music before anyone else. The new track, bundled with two other rocking Smashing Pumpkins hits, \"1979\" and \"The Everlasting Gaze,\" will be available post-launch of the game as a three-song downloaded content pack.
Additionally, on-disc with the release of Guitar Hero World Tour this fall, The Smashing Pumpkins’ singer, songwriter and lead guitarist Billy Corgan will appear as an in-game character and will bring with him \"Today,\" the band’s smash hit from their pivotal and four-times platinum 1993 album Siamese Dream. \"Today\" is one of the band’s many hits that have defined the alternative music era and continue to resonate on modern rock radio, influencing a whole new generation. Players will be able to experience the unique alternative rocker’s likeness in-game as he sings and shreds on guitar, or play as the revered rock star throughout their vocal and axe careers.
G.P.F.

I’m disappointed too. However, it’s us guys that has to deal with it, and not the Pumpkins. At some point the 78 rpm vinyl disappeared from the market, later on the cassette wasn’t the platform of choice anymore either… Times are changing! Wake up!
And blaming them for trying to make a few bucks, or a bit more on another platform is… a very cheap type of criticism, if you ask me. I couldn’t care less in what way and how many bucks the artist is making, I judge the music by the music alone. And actually I’m hoping the artist is making a few bucks with it anyway, so he sticks around a bit longer to create even more good music…
-

i agree that they need to make a buck here and there. they are off label now and things will be more expensive- paying for there own tour and what not, although i guess they get all their profits now.
i will be sad though if its a Guitar Hero only release as i want the song not the video game.
so i guess i kind of agree with a combo of Arthur and Pipoka.
its sad and disappointing.
i wish they would just do both- Guitar Hero for money and a regular release for us fans. i won’t call them sellouts, but i am quite sad about it. -

I’m with Reggaeluv2000. Also I would like to remind everybody that Smashing Pumpkins has released many songs since the early days, that were not available for everybody. Or only available on an obscure import compilation. Some were even promo CD only! I have always considered it a fun part of being a fan of getting these songs like Glynis (old!) and Superchrist (new!) anyway…
That it might be a download only, that’s my worry however, as a CD collector…

Uh-oh, here I go.
I’m sure that as a band, SPs will always see songs and merchandise are accessible to paying fans. I disagree with the way it’s becoming tougher to ‘keep up’ with releases though. The Target-only Zeitgeist was a real pain in the arse for me; until a friend grabbed one from eBay on my behalf, phew. He even had trouble when visiting the Stores themselves, apparently their stock’s quite sloppy these days?
I wasn’t planning on being caught in the Zeitgeist Release Trap, then as time passed; I wanted the track of this name on a ‘proper’ release. I refuse to enter iTunes territory, although I can see it becoming necessary in the distant future whether I like it or not. I succumbed to 7digital, after all.
As Arthur’s sentiment above touches on, people will do what they can to obtain something they want, we usually give in and the band know we’re likely to eventually. Indeed it can be quite fun – the thrill of the chase – although I’ll say that it’s not for me any more. I just want to order something, pay, then wait for its delivery. I won’t pay Shop/Store prices on principle any more, so I’m forced to order online.
Back on-course: Now Label-free, they’re not so concerned with money, simply because they’ve made it over the years already. If someone thought Corgan worries about the bills Mr Mailman (or Woman) delivers, chances are they’d be completely wrong. He makes money as anybody would, it’s however not a concern. Financially, the game’s up for SPs, they don’t -really- need to consider what they make, moreso what’s spent out now. Maybe that’s too sweeping a statement, you see what I mean though… Perhaps Jeff or Ginger would argue the point regarding money. I wonder how they’re paid band-wise, contracted, etc.
Sadly, I can see vinyl being out-phased quite soon in industry terms (by the SPs at least), if it isn’t already. CDs will last longer, yet to save $Millions, digital-only would likely be a necessary evil. It’s well on its way now in the Entertainment Industry.
I’ve spoken to a few contacts in the music industry recently who have made interesting comments at times. One being, In-House Promos are even in danger of lower production. Secure servers transmit data between people, leaving tangible media as an unnecessary risk. If I wanted to give my ex g/f Paz a CD \"for her eyes only,\" I’d rather an encrypted file sent, than a disc that could end up who-knows-where.
Billy Corgan will never cease to amaze me, he’s so far ahead of the music game and probably always was. David Bowie also springs to mind, ironic they’re good friends.
I’m feeling that Mr C’s trying his best to be more approachable and available to fans, the upcoming DVD set as an obvious example. He’s doing what he can for us, so to speak.
Wonder how the next album will be released: Hopefully everything on one CD that you can pick up and admire, rather than a sterile file from a website. This or chasing around the globe for an elusive disc that should be easily grabbable by all.
My physical collecting days are pretty much over, so really for myself, I’d just be happy having all releases available to my ears in some form.
Sorry for the waffle, I swallowed a handful of Philosophy Pills recently.
Very interesting times ahead, yet more sterile and distanced, maybe.
As ever, rawk awn to Billy & Co., even if you push loyalty limits indirectly at times! I’ve come so close to selling Virgin items, as opposed to just swallowing my pride and being grateful for the items themselves.
Not to off-track the thread (hope I haven’t already), here’s a little food for thought: Little Dickie Birds suggested that D’Arcy and James are more friendly towards Billy than is usually felt or known. Do you really believe they all despise each other, when the crunch comes on down? I’ll stick my ‘lil neck on the block to say they were in cohorts with Corgan as regards the sueing, that they all agreed on how this scenario went down and the future’s still quite uncertain. Sure, there’s the crap about the -hopeful- Gish boxset and so on, but read between the lines at times, I’m conveying.

ok spfreaks, andy found out the down low………………

Just read Dazey’s post. That note about Bowie kinda rang true. It’s hard for me to put myself into someone’s shoes who actually does NOT know about BC/JC/SP. Now that I think about it, most people that I tell my son’s name to are like, \"Oh\". And I have to go into the whole explanation, and it’s \"Oh, you mean that bald guy?\". Yes.
So, if I was amongst \"all the young dudes\", I imagine I too would discover SP and be like, hey, this band rocks!
However, I’m not sure G.L.O.W. will accomplish this, but what the f do I know?

yeah, and on the Andy front- he was really pissed too on the pumpkins.net and was thinking the whole guitar hero thing was shit when the first bit about guitar hero went up on sp.com, so i’m sure this was more to clear up confusion (including his own), not to be a \"promotional tool.\"
i do think some of those writers are \"tools\" for sure, but he seems like a genuine fan and a decent guy from what i’ve seen of him on thepumpkins.net. and i wish hearing the SP on GH would turn my brothers music tastes around.
its rather painful to walk into the house and hear his lame music blasting. -
Andy = Promotional Tool[/quote:ksmqx1dj]
hey—
andy is cool, and it was a good artical that shed light on alot of stuff that some people were really freaking out about.
and andy is cool, i drove up to louisville with him and his wife (who is a riot btw) and last rose met him, and he is not a tool.[/quote:ksmqx1dj]
i was mostly making fun of how many times he used that phrase in his article.

WHAT???
may I ask why? Just want to hear your intake
thanks[/quote:ypg73iqr]
it seems quite boring to me. it’s only a good three minutes, but even that seems too long. nothing much happens in the song.i’m sure i’d like it a bit better if a decent quality version comes out. the mp3 i downloaded (from the premiere on q101) sounds quite bad.
