	It's called a "Moat" Ryan Laubach	Though I am very sad that Jimmy Chamberlain left, from what I can see, this guy is on the level...and no I don't really know who he is, but he's badass.   Posted by It's called a "Moat" on April 13, 2009 - Monday - 2:32 PM [Reply to this]

	the adventures of nicholas galvante. Nicholas Galvante Esquire III	doesn't mean anything. you can play along to ANYTHING.... hear mckenna's band? there's nothing in there that's influenced by chamberlin? and yet this guy talks shit about the PUMPKINS new stuff??? oh, yes, his comments are on youtube... again, it's one thing to play along to ANYTHING... but creating your own... my drummer will give chamberlin a run for his money... and i even told chamberlin that backstage at a pumpkins show... ....oh well... it's youtube culture... a strange culture... anyone and everyone putting up covers or playing along to something... and already deemed an "artist" or "talented"   Posted by the adventures of nicholas galvante. on April 13, 2009 - Monday - 2:38 PM [Reply to this]

	thAshyhAzEt	omg, that's what i've been saying about the YouTube Culture as well, some weirdo posted a video of himself wandering around an all girls school, wobbly camera and all, and everyone called him a "genius" and "amazing artist" made be heave a little, and besides dude was crazy creepy.   Posted by thAshyhAzEt on April 16, 2009 - Thursday - 2:48 AM [Reply to this]

	I Fought the British & I Won Paul Huber	its going to be interesting if he becomes the new drummer because then billy and phil will look kinda the same. lol   Posted by I Fought the British & I Won on April 13, 2009 - Monday - 4:12 PM [Reply to this]

	Richard Richard Gillespie	Jimmy leaving should be a wake up call to Billy... " The Smashing Pumpkins" were done after Machina ii, I love ya billy, but don't drag your friends around on your ego trip any more. Find a new name for your solo act other than "The Smashing Pumpkins", everyone knows what your doing isn't and can't be the same quality of art; it is as deficient in substance as it is in inspiration--no coincidence.   Posted by Richard on April 13, 2009 - Monday - 4:16 PM [Reply to this]

	Jenny	He is great, but not the one...   Posted by Jenny on April 13, 2009 - Monday - 4:52 PM [Reply to this]

	Mike	Wow.....He isn't terrible but the timing is off. Timing is a huge part of what made Jimmy so powerful. It seems that Phil is trying way too hard. Jimmy's playing was almost effortless. He IS good but he doesn't compare. Not good enough.   Posted by Mike on April 13, 2009 - Monday - 5:01 PM [Reply to this]

	Monte Carlo Clint Lutteringer	wow, he plays left handed like me :) That's a plus but true, he's not jimmy...i want the old lineup back but sometimes you have to accept change no matter how unfair. Good luck Billy   Posted by Monte Carlo on April 13, 2009 - Monday - 5:39 PM [Reply to this]

	BriaN	how about instead of smashing pumpkins u call yourselves the bald faggots. i use to love you billy but now i am seeing why u are such a douche. smashing pumpkins have been dead sinse machina. give it up.   Posted by BriaN on April 13, 2009 - Monday - 6:03 PM [Reply to this]

	~*Candace*~	People who have NEGATIVE comments about EVERYTHING about the band..... need to SHUT THE F*CK UP. Why are you even a friend of the band on myspace,if you dislike them SO MUCH??? That's kinda fishy.... you are a hypocrit as a matter of fact. Go write your blogs, bitch about what you wnt on YOUR page, but leave your disses about the band OFF of their profile or moods. IT IS FOR FANS!!!! NOT HATERS! If you don't like what they do with THEIR MUSIC...WRITE YOUR OWN!   Posted by ~*Candace*~ on May 28, 2009 - Thursday - 8:28 PM [Reply to this]

	BriaN	wait till Billy dresses this guy up in glam goth. he will be an even bigger tool.   Posted by BriaN on April 13, 2009 - Monday - 6:07 PM [Reply to this]

	Patrick ryan hennis Patrick Hennis	Nope, I want Jimmy Back. =)   Posted by Patrick ryan hennis on April 13, 2009 - Monday - 6:10 PM [Reply to this]

	Tom	I have a feeling Jimmy left because he wanted to work on the Jimmy Chamberlin Complex, that wouldn't mean he'd be devoted to the Pumpkins in the way he'd want. I think he'll be back in the Pumpkins at some point in the future, but it could be a few years off...   Posted by Tom on April 13, 2009 - Monday - 7:21 PM [Reply to this]

	Shawn	He's good... Maybe take a break from a drummer and go back to your roots before you had Jimmy? Drum machines?   Posted by Shawn on April 13, 2009 - Monday - 7:02 PM [Reply to this]

	Just Dave	He's no Jimmy Chamberlin, Billy. I'm glad there doesn't seem to be bad blood this time though!........I'd love to see the original Gish/Siamese Dream lineup together again, but I don't think it would ever happen.........Those two albums changed my life and the music I make.   Posted by Just Dave on April 13, 2009 - Monday - 9:33 PM [Reply to this]
