I only got into the Smashing Pumpkins relatively recently(about a year ago) and now i can't believe i lasted so long without them!they truly are an amazing band who release so many outstanding albums, Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie in particular. any fans out there?come on, i can't be the only one!

xx

*puts hands up*

Yep... Saw them live at Novarock last year and they were awesome!!

xx

aw wow I've never seen them live before!thats all changing on friday tho what was the set list like when you saw them?what was the best song?

xx

To be honest, that was my introduction to them Weird as I have been into 'that' type of music for years.... but never really got into them!

The set list was awesome! They played for hours and played all their hits.... as well as lots from their then forthcoming album (Zeitgeist). He was bloody tall though...

They put on a great show... Here are a few piccies

Billy Corgan

Ginger Reyes

Billy Corgan again

Im seeing them on Saturday at the O2 and cant wait!!!

xx

They are one of my favourite bands I'm seeing them Friday too!!

the pictures look amazing, god im getting so excited about friday now!!im really hoping they do songs spanning across all the albums, and i especially wanna see Cherub Rock, its probably my favourite song by them!

Billy is a god!

xx

They are music geneous!

I adore "Mayonaise" and "Disarm".

Siamese Dream is such an amazing album and i love those two tracks personal faves on that album are Cherub Rock, Today and Spaceboy

xx

Today reminds me of my teens and the tragedy and hopefulness of youth! Love it! Total classic!

I love Smashing Pumpkins - seeing them on friday and i can't wait! Only recently got into them, probably a few months ago and havent really stopped listening to them since!

I love cherub rock, 1979 and spaceboy...oo and daydream!

I would say that they pretty much will def do Cherub Rock and Today... and Disarm. They did all of them at Novarock anyway

Cant wait!!! But still got no idea who the support band are =/

xx

Love Smashing Pumpkins first saw them just after Siamese dream came out - really lucky to have seen them in a very small venue only about 500 capacity - it was brilliant.

oh Ginger at Reading Festival, i didnt realise but I was staring at her non-stop for a good half an hour!!!

Smashing Pumpkins are an awesome band! I love To Sheila and Tonight Tonight,
although I have to admit they were upstaged by NIN who were on just before them at Reading festival. Wasnt into NIN really before Reading, just watched them because I wanted a good place for the Pumpkins, but goodness me! Their light show made the Smashing Pumpkin's light show look like a night out on Brighton Pier!

Just heard (Prob another rumour!) That Oceansize are supporting them in London.

xx

The smashing pumpkins are the best band ever! I am kind of envious of you guys having just got into them-I first heard them when I was a very little girl and went from there. MCATIS is a masterpiece and the excitement I then got from getting into all their other stuff was overwhelming!

I went to see them last night and it was spectacular-alot better than when I saw them last year. Still saddened by the absence of james and d'arcy (or even melissa) but I suppose as long as jimmy powerhouse chamberlain and billy corgan are there I will be happy.

The setlist is amazing, so I hope whoever is going cherishes the gig!

aw im glad the gig was good!what songs did they play from Mellon Collie/Siamese Dream?man im so excited now

xx

Have a great time all who are going to the gigs!!

I have 1 standing ticket for the O2 for sale as someone has let me down at the last minute. To be sold for face value and I can meet you with it before the gig on Saturday! Just PM me if interested

xx

The setlist is up on their site. The seem to be keeping the same setlist for each one of these UK dates-which is a bit weird for billy. I was really hoping they would play bodies, alas but no luck!

Goin to see them at Manchester Arena tonight. Can't wait.

Everyone should get there nice and early cos one of the best 'barely known' bands around are opening for them.
Anyone who's never heard of OCEANSIZE best get ready for some 8 minute epics.

Also, Pisces Iscariot and Gish are really underrated Pumpkins albums.
