jeromium Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 MBV was pretty good, haven't listened to it that much though. But good example. I've never listened to Afghan Whigs. I can hardly stand any Weezer beyond the blue album. So yeah, it's all subjective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would add Slowdive, Swervedriver and Ride to your list. Apparently it is easier for shoegaze bands to come back strong though haha. Slowdive seconded. Saw them a couple months ago, absolutely astounding sound live. Almost positive it's going to be show of the year for me and I've still got some shows left-- Gorillaz, QOTSA, LCD Soundsystem, U2, and some smaller bands.... Hard to say LCD won't at least match them though. Still upset I missed MBV though, they came through here the year before I discovered and got really into them. Hoping for that Loveless reissue and a tour... last I heard Shields had mentioned the possibility of a 2017 tour but so far no word on that.

unravelled Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Dino Jr says hello But I'm afraid Billy's heavy hand in production has been a recent turn off for me. He needs someone to help edit his vision and he definitely needs Jimmy. highfives, tonyfranciosa and Plarocks 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll also add the Descendents and Nine Inch Nails to the list of artists with strong late showings. Definitely don't agree with the inclusion of Weezer.

Moglog Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Superchunk. And I'm not terribly interested in new material, but I would pay way too much to see the original lineup tour. youspinmeround 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs someone to help edit his vision and he definitely needs Jimmy. I was able to see Dino for the first time last year, at a Lollapalooza aftershow only for folks who work with their PR company (got in through a friend that works there), it was a room of about 150 people, Dino cramped onto a small stage, me standing right in front of J with his three marshall full stacks aimed right at my ears. He must not have felt the need to turn the volume down for a smaller room, I'm pretty sure it was just as loud as if he played a typical indoor venue. Lost my hearing for a couple days but it was worth it. At the time I was thinking man he plays in such a sloppy, hurried way, but I assume that's just his style.

pepperonigin Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 They crush it every time I've seen them. Definitely a band I wouldn't hesitate to see any time they're in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andynz Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Pretty odd: https://www.ebay.com/itm/smashing-pumpkins-lp-colored-vinyl/362228588146 Haven't seen a white bootleg of this before. Also, there's been another round of teasing from Billy lately around a OG lineup; well, James, Jimmy and Billy, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracetoo Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 They're hardly teasing it, Billy's been posting on Instagram that they're in the studio with Rick Rubin. D'Arcy won't be joining them, but she confirmed there's a tour planned. Their first show ever was October 5 1988 at the Metro in Chicago. I wouldn't be surprised if this is billed as a reunion-anniversary deal and the first show takes place in Oct at the Metro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsNJazz Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 My guess is they reunite to play Riot Fest since it's in Chicago and they have done big reunion shows almost every year now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard the D'Arcy thing isn't true - that she had an account hacked or something and there hasn't been a confirmation either way about her being included in the reunion. What we do know is Jeff is also playing on the music they're recording right now. James may or may not be as we've only seen a photo of him in the studio talking to Billy and Jimmy. Billy also snapped a pic of his guitar rig and it showed some basses on the rack. So we can assume he'll be covering bass duties on the record.

Either riotfest or some summer shed tour I think Riot Fest is likely too, but that history with the Metro isn't to be ignored. Also, Iha has touring commitments w/ A Perfect Circle through June. I really don't think a 30th Anniversary, reunited Smashing Pumpkins are going to do two months of dates before headlining Riot Fest. It takes place two weeks before the aforementioned "first show ever" so I'm pegging Mid Sept / Early Oct for this to be happening. If the big announcement happens to be a Riot Fest reunion, expect them to do a pre-show beforehand at the Metro to officially kick it off. No way that first show with the three of them together isn't in that room though. Edited February 2, 2018 by gracetoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracetoo Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Schroeder is in, but not playing bass according to Billy. Keeping his job as a guitar player. Still no word on who they'll bring in.
