Any other fans of The Smashing Pumpkins on the forum? They've been one of my favourite bands since the mid 90s. I've seen them live a few times and I'm hoping they'll come back to Europe again this year.
Here's a video of an entire gig from New York in 2011, very good quality http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaFyINh2f1w
I was a fan back in the day ,saw them live stadium tour.Too bad since they were local band that I didn't see them before they blew up.I like their earlier albums and up to Melancholy Infinite Sadness.Billys voice was /is someimes hard for me to digest.But when they rolled they rolled like a steamroller!

I didn't realise they got big enough in the States to play stadium gigs. The only album I'm no too keen on is Adore, the one after MCIS. Oceania, released last year is excellent, nothing too heavy/noisy on it so you might like it. I agree Billy isn't the greatest of singers but good enough for their style of music.
Missed them first time around, but picked up their greatest hits album and played it a lot. At one time I had "1979" as my ring tone and I'm one of the few that likes their cover of "Landslide".
Haven't heard their music for a while.
Adore is my favourite album of the Smashing Pumpkins, favourite song: To Sheila

i heard about them, but never really tried to listen to their stuff... i might.
I would say that their first tw0 albums Gish and Siamese Dream are my favs.Really some all out rockers are there mixed with the mellower songs
Melancholy is a classic album IMO and where and when I first discovered the SP's.
Interesting use of pedals from James Iha on that YouTube film, - HOW MANY???

That was Jeff Schroeder, James Iha didn't return after the band split in 2000. But you're right, that's the most amount of pedals I've ever seen!!

Melancholy is an excellent albums too.That's the tour that put them in stadiums in the States.
