A message from Billy Corgan (new Smashing Pumpkins album & tour in 2007)

Smashing Pumpkins

Dear Beautiful Souls,

Happy New Year to you! May 2007 prove to be a blessed year in every respect and every way...I send you every ounce of love I have in my heart...May the grace of Mother be with you...This year for us will see a new album of songs and a world tour of tears, and we truly look forward to playing again for fans young, old, and missed...So yes, tunes are being dusted off, while others are being asked to kindly submit to an upstart millennia and all it's asking...In our daily prayers, we send out the signal that all who should hear us come forward and be seen, and by extension, heard...when we opened the lid on this music box, we were pleasantly suprised at the music that played: familiar yet unknown, welcoming but not sentimental...and that is all we can ask...God has absolutely blessed us in every respect...for many years there were private laments about opportunities missed and hearts so broken, but no more...we have turned the page and moved on, from places and faces, names and games...this age calls for resolve and certitude, and the fire within to burn ever bright...if that fire should be connected to absolutely deafening guitars, thundering drums, and the melodies of snakes, then so be it! We love you! If you are meant to be with us, find us!! We have need, and our arms are ever-open...although I can say definitively we don't need jugglers...but we do need ???? (what?) what do we need!

With a smile and a wink,
billy corgan

is it true that his arms are burned up?

Jonathan Melvoin was the lucky one.

Is this some kind of riddle?

Tell that to his family, Crosseyed Sniper. Ass.

His arms are not burned, that's a big red strawberry birthmark the lad was born with.

God I hope this album sounds like Gish.

"God I hope this album sounds like Gish."

Wouldn't that be nice? I have serious doubts of that happening, but I guess you never know.

I would certainly tell that to his family if I could. Kill yourself and fuck the body, Anonymous.

You guys (for the most part) are all assholes...
Have some respect. What the fuck are you doing with your life?

The pumpkins are a great band, and billy is a more intelligent than you and any offsprings you are...you people are responisble for evolutionary downfall...

BTW...whoever said 'go kill yourself'...should take their own advice.

i dunno billy could just be skrewin around with everyone, but you never know, there could be some hidden information in that message. i mean, cmon, you all are complaining about some message he didnt even have to post, and we dont even know who is in the band's new lineup yet, we only know that billy and jimmy are. soooo maybe we should just be patient and wait for some new music.
