He's saying the Smashing Pumpkins are on tour again, when it's actually just him and a back up band that aren't the Smashing Pumpkins. And same with the new album, just him and a back-up band.

I've been a Pumpkin fan for forever. They were my first concert and I just have a hard time imagining the band without D'arcy or James. It kinda bums me out, ya know? I still wish Billy the best, but I would be happier with this reunion if the whole band was back together.

I suppose that is the way of bands, they part ways and try out different paths one way or the other. It might be a phase and they might tour together again. Who knows?

I understand what your saying. But Billy Corgan was basically the Smashing Pumpkins, i remember hearing when they were recording once (possibly Siamese Dream)Corgan locked the band out the studio so he could do their parts. Sounds like a bit of a control-freak and not the easiest guy to work with but still very talented. I haven't seen them live with the new members, but i quite like the latest album, he'll never make another album as good as siamese dream, but most people won't!
