Via SP publicist: “Auditions will be held Friday, April 10 in Los Angeles for drummers who are looking to play with THE SMASHING PUMPKINS. They should send their background info, photos and performance web links via email only to: pumpkinsdrummer@gmail.com.” NO EGOS?

I’ll see you guys there! Don’t forget extra sticks!!
except fucking sike.
Is it just me, or are the Smashing Pumpkins on the road to having some sort of drama/news coverage about them every other week for the rest of this year?
I submitted an entry! It is literally an audio file of me clapping my hands for 20 seconds.

I’m totally psyched – all those auditions will give young Billy miles of blog material, which in turn will fuel the hipsterweb blogs, which he will then complain about with (yes) more blogs. Ah, the circle of life
Can’t Billy Corgan just scan YouTube for 13 year-old wunderkind black kids? That or hire Kenny Aronoff again? (Drummers in-joke!)
Is this not the perfect setup for a story like Rockstar with Marky Mark, the totally rad singer of a cover band who gets dissed but then auditions for STEEL DRAGON (Judas Priest) and actually gets the part? I hope there’s some Pumpkins cover bands out there cuz that guy’s got the job.
didn’t limp bizkit try this in an attempt to find a new guitarist?
yes, this is all a ploy to steal some awesome drum breaks from unsuspecting percussionists
yep
Neil Pert
the circus sideshow continues
I wonder if he’s gonna get a fake Jimmy Chamberlain to match the fake D’arcy and fake James Iha he’s got playing with him live now
It’s gonna be hard finding a replacement for Jimmy Chamberlin. Although I don’t like his style (how many notes and fills can you play in a minute?) he was very important for the sound of the Pumpkins. Well, happy hunting Billy!

i think we should force Bernie Madoff to play drums for Billy as part of his punishment.
I’ve been scanning youtube for audition videos. There is such a wide variety. Found this guy, and he’s deffinitely worth checking out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MppRHXBB8Jw
