    They may be Smashing Squash, Smashing Grapefruit, Smashing Cucumbers but it sure as hell is not the Smashing Pumpkins I love. James Iha and D'arcy were the quiet cool of one of the best bands ever. Now it's just Billy Corgan and his ego. Notice his rhythm guitarist is another race and his bassist is a woman? Coincidence? I think not.

    Having seen some stills I was afraid the video would be Batman and Robin style BAD. (ie too many close ups and too much bizarre tai chi action.) However, this video pleases me Billy. You are a dork, even with the lazer eyes, but you are not afraid to be one. Bless your black heart. See you in San Francisco.

    The rhythm guitarist is another race... hahaha Anthony must not really be a fan to say that..
    it was probably just something they did quickly.. anyway.. who watches music videos anymore ??? MTV sure doesnt play them.

    does anyone know who all the extra's are in the video, and whether they have any relevance to anything at all? I can see what they are trying to do...maybe...a bit confusing...wtf though really! is this a parody of itself, they can't be serious? and if it is a parody, then they did not do a very good job. I mean come on this is their return to glory? wanky wank pretentious shi*te fun to watch I spose....b- maybe

    So it's Billy Corgan.... and Jimmy Chamberlain... and a bunch of other guys/girls.

    So this is *different* from Zwan.... how?

    Better yet, how is this any different from solo Billy Corgan?

    After all, Corgan wrote most of the Pumpkins material by himself... so one could argue that disbanding the Pumpkins in the first place was pointless.

    So what does that make the reunion? (The answer is: pointless).

    I don't see how anybody can give this video a piss poor rating? granted, the old smashing pumpkins were great. But if your going to try and reinvent a band you gotta make some changes. It sure is a whole hell of alot better than all that rap shit thats being played on Mtv, and a hell whole of alot better than the crap thats being played off as Alternative music. I'm glad to see Something like the smashing pumpkins take off. I hope they do well. Because frankly bands like fall out boy, good charlotte, John Mayer, all suck ass. If anybody here has listen to one good band thats came out recently let me know because i think music in general has hit a dry spell. Thats why its cool to see something related to 90's grunge rock come back into light. Rock on pumpkins!
