July 03, 2008 – More info on the tour in August
As previously reported, The Smashing Pumpkins will be heading out on the road in the United States for a few weeks this August.
The last tour of the U.S. by the band consisted of mostly larger venues. This tour will prominently be booked in smaller venues across the country. Cities that they have not played since reforming will be on the route. Smaller venues means less tickets, and tickets will most likely go very quickly. Keep your eyes peeled!
Dates and cities are still forthcoming but will be revealed ANY MINUTE.
***Correction: These shows should not be considered part of the 20th anniversary shows that will be occurring later this year.

not excited, i am so excited. i bet they will be doing new matieral at the august shows. cause the single will come out in september. and i can’t wait to see where they are going to be, i want to go see the small shows in august and the big shows in november. i am so gonna ask for money for my birthday, and i never ask for gifts, but i am asking for money so i can go and see them. i might have to get a part time job just to pay for all the new stuff. on top of my regular job.
-
i want new stuff too. but it could be a nice opportunity to hear the old stuff for younger or newer fans or nostaligic ones- although it won’t be quite the same as it was.
i think i’m going to have to set some cash aside though for all of the new SP stuff coming at the end of the year though. there are lots of goodies to come.
-
as most may know the first date of the august shows has been posted.
i hope they post more dates soon so that i can plan on whether or not to try and go to this one.
is anyone else planning on going to this one? i am gonna try if i can get the gas $ together. i might rent a car, one with good gas mileage from enterprise, it is 1/2 price on weekends.
and hey it is at a casino, nice. i love the nickle slots.
-
-
i am thinking maybe for me. i an catch a ride with someone, so that would be awesome, but even with 1/2 the gas money and the ticket prices, i don’t know if i can afford it, not that it is not worth it, but gas is getting pretty expensive, and that is a long ass drive.
i hope to have a more def answer soon.
-
Yes Bullet I am waiting for new listings of dates to see if one is closer too.
I could go but is it worth it to spend all that $$ when there could be more dates listed soon?
I’m thinking a midwest tour, nothing too far for them, but ya never know.
Maybe they will do a casino by my house..Turtle Lake Casino in Wisconsin
it’s 21+ unlike the ones in Minnesota-no drinking and 18+
I wish they would just post a few more dates. -

i know. it brings tears to my eyes too.
crybaby syndrome must be spreading like an epidemic across the forum.

Blame me for that. On April 2nd I wrote here on the forum somewhere: "Who are you, tormented souls? What are you, rockinâ crybabies?". You guys took a while however to pick it up. -

i love you arthur, but only in the friend way[/quote:s8iz3nev]
You said that so many times now on the forum, my girlfriend doesn’t believe it anymore. She asks if we are the FM Brokeback Mountain couple. I told her "yeah maybe, but we didn’t get paid like those actors". I’m not sure if she can handle this joke properly, let’s see the next few days… Women tend to return to nasty things on very awkward moments.

you get into a lot of trouble here don’t you Arthur.
[/quote:242xmwsr]
Yeah actually I do… And it’s always the women that bring me into trouble!
Who should I ban then, my girlfriend, or my "lover in a friendly way" bullet? It breaks my heart to choose…[/quote:242xmwsr]
ok ok, i will stop saying it jeeze, what should i say, wow arthur you don’t suck ass. i think that will be my new line for people i like, wow you don’t suck ass. has a nice ring to it. and if i only kinda like them i will say, wow you don’t suck ass all the time.

oh sure Arthur blame the women…
Although if I do some deep thinking I could say we are the evil ones of this world, but then I could say that about men too…(my hubby says women are f****ed up when you can have aunt flow visit for a week straight and not die nasty schmasty-sorry (at least I have more than the same thought every 2 minutes like ya’ll men do- )
oh gotta love deep thoughts -
KENTUCKY, THEY ARE COMING TO KENTUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok, i am soooooooooo excited, this is the best news since forever and a day. now to get the money, i wonder how much it will be? i hope it is not to expensive, cause i am so gonna have to borrow money.

Message from our German friends on MySpace:
Gerüchteküche
Apropos Tour… Duran Duran Bassist John Taylor hat der dänischen Zeitung \"Fyens Stiftstidende\" in einem Interview verraten, dass Duran Duran im Herbst mit den Pumpkins auf Tour gehen werden: \"This fall we’ll go to America where we will go on tour with the Smashing Pumpkins – it’ll be fun.\"Now go Babelfish that!
-

On there it might be a rumour, here is the fact, presuming the German Pumpkins fans quote correctly. Let me translate for you.
Duran Duran bass player John Taylor told the Danish newspaper \"Fyens Stiftstidende\" in an interview, that Duran Duran will tour with the Pumpkins: \"This fall we’ll go to America where we will go on tour with the Smashing Pumpkins – it’ll be fun.\"
So, here’s my litle quick and dirty research to check if it’s true:
\"Fyens Stiftstidende is a daily newspaper in Denmark and has a circulation, primarily on Funen, of approximately 60,000 on weekdays and 80,000 on weekends. Until 1841 it was known as \"Kongelig Priviligerede Odense Adresse-Contoirs Efterretninger\". On April 13, 1993 the newspaper changed its 221 year-old tradition as a mid-day newspaper, to a morning paper.\" (Wikipedia)
So the newspaper exists. They have a website also: http://www.fyens.dk/
And indeed, there is a interview with Duran Duran, published on 20-06-2008:
http://www.fyens.dk/article/1018259:Mus … ohn-Taylor
And here you go, deep down in the article, at the end:
Til sidst: Er der noget nyt på vej fra Duran Duran?
– Det ved jeg ikke. Til efterÃ¥ret tager vi til Amerika, hvor vi skal pÃ¥ tour med Smashing Pumpkins – det bliver skægt. SÃ¥ vi skal bruge en del tid pÃ¥ landevejen. NÃ¥r vi er færdige, sÃ¥ mÃ¥ vi se, hvor vi stÃ¥r.
And of course undersigned can read Danish (*). This means:
As last thing: Is there any news from Duran Duran?
– I don’t know. This fall we travel to USA, where we are going on tour with Smashing Pumpkins – It’s going to be awesome. So we are going to spend a lot of time on the highways. When we are done, we will see where we stand.
(*) Actually I can’t. 1 of the boardmembers helped me out, and hugs to you! You know who you are!

I tried to find back the old article @ sp.com, but after a few pages, it gave an error like \"There was a problem getting the items! XML error: Invalid character at line 1\". So I didn’t check any further. But I remember Billy saying that the form and shapes of the band might change in the future, like a band of 10 people. So I’m hoping the 3 new tourmembers will be back too, because I think they rock well!

why do you say she’s weird ?
anyway, i always heard storys when i was a child that told crows are related to death.
i checked on wikipedia \"Crows, and especially ravens, often feature in European legends or mythology as portents or harbingers of doom or death, because of their dark plumage, unnerving calls, and tendency to eat carrion. They are commonly thought to circle above scenes of death such as battles.\"i think that’s why i don’t like them at all. i remember a cousin telling me a story that creep me out when i was little. maybe i just have some child trauma…

August 07, 2008 – Full production rehearsal currently in progress
The recently-outed Smashing Pumpkins Media Militia would like to announce that the 2 remaining semis of gear (lights and audio) arrived in Davenport last night and the crew burnt the midnight oil setting up the front of house PA and lighting rig.
The band rehearsals have now stepped up a notch and they are now into their first full-blown production rehearsal.
Various fans have started to mill around outside and the buzz is definitely in the air.
The band is rocking so hard that \"the ceiling is fucking falling down\" and the band has taken a slight break. Indeed

On average he sends me around 3 when it comes to concert – and other promo posters. Test pressings for cds and singles, only 1 of course. Sometimes I PayPal him a few bucks for shipment.Hey, kidding! I wish it was true! Fact is, I’m buying my stuffs from the same places as you guys…
