William Corgan has said that there won't be a 90's Smashing Pumpkins reunion and that after his next release it might very well be the last. He has this view of his fans that seems to be narrow and bitter at times. It's true that many fans want a return to their former selves. There is a market in nostalgia. It is nice when you travel great lengths to see one of your favorite bands and after paying hundreds on tickets and merchandise, to be able to watch them perform some of their memorable songs. As a musician myself I understand that it's from my own ambition within to create new music and to evolve. You want these songs to be heard. It becomes so monotonous and tiresome to be a hits only band. Many fans embrace The Pumpkins new music but would like a balance on what the original spirit of the band was blended with the trekking of new frontiers. Many oldschool fans such as my self respect the newer music and actually do understand where your coming from. I get the sacred feelings over your music and why youre protective of your endeavors. No one wants to be painted into a corner. It not about the direction of future generations. Mr. Corgan it's a crusade to keep rock alive and to remember why we fell in love with that raw power that had us supercharged in our adolescence. Don't you have anymore fight left in you? Your signature guitar sound with the overall SP sound has had such an impact on my own sound that if you don't want to carry the torch I will gladly up my efforts. The only trouble is I don't have Jimmy :)

That's the e-bow lead I've been missing.
Shit this is gorgeous. Once they locked in together I thought, Oh that's what James brought to the band.
Glad to see the two of them finally found peace with each other.
Chills. James master of the e-bow.. Such an amazing new version.
Thank you thank you thank you !
Great (and yet another) version. Thanks for not zooming, this is a keeper.
Holy crap this is so good
is this real life?
This gave me chills.....

I'm a grown ass man and this had me choked up. It's beautiful for so many reasons.
We love James!
so relaxing
P.S. Zeitgeist was a great album and a step in the right direction.
