No Darcy, but yea for James...maybe he gets paid.

I think this OK....lets see how long this all lasts.

“Fuck that Alex Jones supporting asshole,” is honestly the nicest thing I can think to say.

[Kent]

That’s just overly cynical, cheap and quite lazy. How about driving forward a conversation that could be about music.
Yeah, Alex Jones is easy to hate and he can be used as a cudgel with which to kindle a minute of hate. Easy- Peasy. Let’s tarnish the efforts of an entire band with it. Hating Corgan is cool, man.

I found the song a bit lackluster and was hoping for a ripping Corgan solo that never arrived. I was wondering if he still has the minerals, honestly. I then scanned through the track after listening to about 45% of it and it felt as if the track had said all that it could say by that point. It just seemed boring, really, and a poor choice for a lead track that announces 3/4 of the band being back together.

...Let’s tarnish the efforts of an entire band with it. Hating Corgan is cool, man.

The band is Corgan. It's not cool to hate anyone, in Corgan's case it's an unfortunate side effect of the fact he's a huge arsehole.

Not only are you factually incorrect but it sure would be nice to visit a corner of the internet that is supposedly dedicated to music and guitars and be able to discuss those things. There’s a whole internet out there for deep diving on other sorts of things.

Or we can use the forum as a place to reaffirm our biases about things having nothing to do with music or guitars. Sounds like a blast.

[Larry Mal]

It has a good beat and you can dance to it.

Sure, why not? ...and while we're at it we can discuss how good of a painter Hitler was.

[Larry Mal]

It is a rock and roll song.

[Harmoncj]

Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness, and cleanliness is godliness, and God is empty, just like thousands of seats for the upcoming Smashing Pumpkins reunion tour.

Corgan aside I like it, which is the first time I've said that about pumpkin music since machina days. looking forward to the album.

[Embenny]

Politics aside, this song makes me deeply sad, because I didn't think that a 3/4 reunion of the Pumpkins could sound so boring. It sounds like they don't even believe in what they're doing.

[budda12ax7]

The song is dreadful. It opens up with super boring guitar chugging that is fucking lame and dated and reminds me of Ratt but if Ratt was slow, old and boring and wrote pretentious and juvenile lyrics that would be more appropriate in a burgeoning teenage mass murderer's blog that a couple of fatasses like Alex Jones and Billy Corgan would later dismiss as a hoax.

There, I listened to it.

Making fun of RATT.....they are old, but not slow. Check it out.

Ok....upon watching this 2 times....yes,,,,they are old and slow.

[budda12ax7]

The song is mediocre at best, but maybe the best is yet to come. However, does the world need a Pumpkins 3/4 reunion. I thought they were just fine without James and Jimmy. My prediction is that this lasts a few weeks then implodes. ALSO, what about Jeff....he seems like a good dude, this has to be weird for him....how did handle that phone call from Bill..."hello Jeff, this is silly billy, I'm bringing James and Jimmy back for a recording and tour, I want you play rhythm guitar and be nice to James, oh yea..when this implodes you will have your old job back"...

Good for James...I hope he makes some money. How about James and Jeff form a band.

[Larry Mal]

It is in 4/4 time.

i love both Ratt and Smashing Pumpkins, and these days I'd much rather listen to Ratt
