Don't they always show one complete performance and then tell you to go to their site and show part of a second one - it seems to always cut before the second song is finished. _________________ I am Torgo.

I think a lot of people get the wrong impression about the band based on a lot of the singles (ie. Zero, Bullet With Butterfly Wings, Everlasting Gaze, Cherub Rock, etc.), but, in reality, Billy Corgan is one of the most unique and dynamic songwriters there has ever been. I encourage everyone to pull out an album like Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness or Adore and give them a listen straight through...not every song is heavy, distorted guitars with him screeching above them...the man wrote some incredible songs. Take a listen to songs like: Thirty-Three, By Starlight, Beautiful, Blank Page, For Martha, Glass and the Ghost Children, With Every Light...just to name a few. I can totally understand that it is hard to get beyond his voice at first, but I really have a feeling that most of these people haven't been exposed to the full spectrum of Corgan's creative output. Give him and the Pumpkins a chance...you won't regret it. Bravo for coming to the rescue. I grew up with the Pumpkins' music in the 90's, and it was a release for me. If it's his voice that turns people off, I wonder if they're a fan of Coheed & Cambria then? |

I think people have a hard time recognizing the variety and depth of '90s rock acts. How many people realize Kurt Cobain's musical diversity, for example? Music is horrible at dividing into purely distorted/mostly non-distorted styles now, basically. It's not quite that clear cut, but you don't have many bands who are allowed the range bands used to enjoy freely. But that's a whole other argument ... I think. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

I think Stone Temple Pilots suffer this fate. I still like Purple and Tiny Music from the Vatican. I doubt many people know that STP has a song with Rhodes and trumpet on it (Adhesive Love). I have yet to get any of their albums after that - when Weiland came back and they reformed. I'm wondering though - am I missing the musical diversity of Staind, Puddle of Mudd, 3 Doors Down, and other groups like that or are they actually as crappy as I perceive them to be? _________________ I am Torgo.

Billy Corgan's voice is one of the things that makes/has made the band unique. It's one of the things I love most about them. It's not pretty, but it's grown on me and in time can grown on anyone, I believe. |

I honestly cannot remember what I thought about his voice at first. I probably didn't like it - haha. But my sister loved them and I trusted her taste, and very quickly fell in love. |

Personally i had no problem with Billy's voice when i first got into the Pumpkins. Maybe its just like wine for some people, its an acquired taste. If there's one voice i hate, it's Chad Kroeger's from Nickelback. Blech. _________________ way out of here |

If I didn't care for Billy's voice at first it was most likely due to the fact that I was rreeaally young when my sister made me listen to them, so.. I was being a whiny baby probably. |
