Concert Review: Smashing Pumpkins

Here's my brothers review of the Smashing Pumpkins concert in Minneapolis this week. I found it both educational and informative. ;-)

First, there was some good. Awesome stage and light set up, probably 2^nd coolest I’ve ever seen. And they had cool outfits. Now the bad.

They were very lackluster, they barely moved on stage. The 2 new members looked like they just found them in Schmidt music. I own 3 of their albums (their hit ones) and I only recognized about 10% of the songs they played, and they didn’t play all their hits. Their new songs are mindless and identical, and Billy would just randomly shout stuff that you couldn’t understand. Then the really bad.

About an hour of the show was just them screwing around, not even playing a song. I hate that. I even hated it when Led Zeppelin did it. That is, and never was, cool. And, they basically forced 3 encores, which after the first people were already leaving. You get one encore. Mozart didn’t get 3. It sucked.

Ok, I’m done
