At their show at Chicago's Thalia Hall on Wednesday night, the Smashing Pumpkins debuted a new band lineup, played a bunch of songs live for the first time (including a cover of David Bowie's "Fame"), and started selling merchandise that addresses Billy Corgan's recent beef with Anderson Cooper. The new lineup -- which features Rage Against The Machine's Brad Wilk and the Killers' Mark Stoermer -- debuted some Monuments To An Elegy tracks live, including the already released "Being Beige," "One And All," "Tiberius," and "Drum + Fife," along with a new one called "Monuments." The merch that they sold was a t-shirt featuring a picture of Corgan's cats Mr. Thom and Sammi in bowties with the words "Fuck You Anderson Cooper" written on it. That's the t-shirt above, and you can see them perform "Silverfuck" and Bowie's "Fame" and check out a setlist below.
