kevins_concertsI had seen Smashing Pumpkins a few years before, and wanted to see them again. They had just released Machina. Drummer Jimmy Chamberlain was back, ousting the drum machine, and bassist D'arcy was gone, replaced by Melissa Auf der Maur.
This was when I lost my respect for The Smashing Pumpkins. The show just wasn't all that exciting. Dull, really. I was trying to stay into it until the end, where they played "Join Together". You know, that really fun, upbeat Who song? They sucked the life right out of it. It coulda been played by mannequins. That was the end for me.
Edited: No, I didn't really lose all my respect for the Pumpkins. I like the art rock. I like the hard rock. I like the edge. But when I catch on to certain aspects, some little part of the enjoyment is gone.
