All you Smashing Pumpkins fans who attack the comment threads when jokes are made re: Smashing Pumpkins being essentially a Billy Corgan solo project, you now have nothing to grouse about: long-time Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, aka the only original Smashing Pumpkin besides Billy to still be around, has announced he is leaving the band. Corgan has announced he'll continue to use the Smashing Pumpkins name in the future (since no one wants another Zwan album) and is planning on cutting another album this Spring. Yeah, because everyone loved
Zeitgeist
so much everyone will be all over that one. The only question now is how will Billy deal with all that
fan hate
alone? [via

So Billy Corgan is now essentially Axl Rose?
bwahahahah
Jimmy was a terrible drummer anyway.
banger said exactly what i wanted to say
He should just name this band the Billy Corgan project.
Billy Corgan Comes Alive!
Or, he could rename the band Soundgarden.
Hopefully Timbaland will produce it.
Chamberlain was awesome on Siamese Dream.
