Jimmy Chamberlin

The Smashing Pumpkins will celebrate their classic debut album with a virtual party this weekend...

There's lots going on in the world of Smashing Pumpkins as they prepare for the 25th anniversary of ’Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness,’ but you'll have to wait a bit for some of it.

The band's new double album arrives in November via Sumerian.

It's their second album since original members Billy Corgan, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin regrouped .

Billy Corgan reunited with original Smashing Pumpkins members Jimmy Chamberlin and James Iha for their first album together in 18 years, and even more so than on his last couple albums, it sounds like Billy is trying to directly channel his most classic songs...

It's their first album with Billy Corgan, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin all in the band in 18 years, and as mentioned, it was recorded with Rick Rubin.

Billy Corgan, James Iha, Jimmy Chamberlin & co played a three-hour set filled with classics, a few covers, and video interludes by Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath.

After teasing some shows yesterday, the Smashing Pumpkins' ”classic lineup” reunion has announced a very lengthy tour focusing on their first five albums (including MSG).

The announcement follows the ongoing drama surrounding Billy Corgan, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin's ”classic lineup” reunion excluding D'Arcy Wretzky.

There may be a tour this year, too, with Billy, James and Jimmy (but not D'Arcy?).
