Stills From The Pumpkins "Tarantula" Vid Shoot

First off ... can you believe Zeitgeist hasn't leaked yet? Who needs a power suit to inspire fear within the ranks of the Warner's potential leakers when you've got a translucent shower shield vinyl, right? Well it isn't much more than Corgan's bath curtain cape that we're getting with these advance pics from the "Tarantula" video shoot, but all this green screen action, this has gotta be promising. (All the better to project mushroom clouds over Paris?) Also, it's the first clear shot of the D'arcy replacement, so enjoy that.


Take the jump for one more, of Corgain and the John Cusack-looking guy, looking less like John Cusack than before, but just as Zeitgeisty (new adjective!).

Should we do a green screen still contest? I think we should. If you're inspired, e-mail to tips

The girl is Ginger Reyes of the band Halo Friendlies.

They've been a local L.A. / O.C. band for ages & she's played in a load of other bands as well. I think the guitar player was in this other local band, The Lassie Foundation.

Do you think he chose the chick as a bass player because she was the best candidate for the job, or because she kept the demographics of the original line up the same?

Well after watching 30 seconds of that video Lisa M. posted, playing with Billy is obviously the highlight of Ginger's career.

But for Billy, I'd have to say it's all about the demographics of the band, because he used Melissa Auf Der Maur after the D'arcy split.

I'm pretty sure the new guy is from the Lassie Foundation. Check them out. Hell of a lot better than left over pumpkins.

Billy should have hung it up long ago. he had talent, but then the fame went his head. like he has a message to deliver anymore. jeez, gimmie a break.

wtf is up with chicago bands these days? first wilco lames out and now Billy won't give it up.

I'm with Borth Grobian. Billy Corgan just came back with the SP brand to earn some fast cash. Songs aren't that clever and sincere anymore. Meh.
