My pictures with the band is on microcuts.net if you wanna see. Well, I only posted one with Matt, b/c the other ones I look funny in. It's under "aftershows" and "Matthew and I". :)

Yeah...I am leaving after Bloc Party performs. There is no way I am gonna sit through Panic's set! No ma'am! Good luck getting cheap GA tickets...I'm sure they are sold out :(...and if they are not...I'm sure these horrible scalpers jacked up the price.

I love this band, they are incredible. I saw them live in August, and is one of the best shows I've seen in awhile. Also got pictures with them! As for Assassin..I love the "uncut" version...it sounds way better than the one on record...it sounds more...rock-ish? I can't explain it...it was known as "Debase Masons Grog" or something REALLY strange like that....anyone else heard this version? I've heard a rough live version of it, when it was still new and they performed it on their last US tour.

I saw these guys play in LA. They were really good, it was a FUN show. The crowd was awesome too, although a bit ...rowdy. I got to meet the band afterwards, nice nice guys! Got pictures and everything...really sweet! :) I can't wait to see them in November, although they're opening for a shit band. Yikes!

Oh wow...I haven't been here in over a month! That's nuts. Okay so anyways... I saw the Strokes open for Tom Petty about a month ago. I think I was one of the youngest people there, and I was the only one around my area (with the exception of two 17 year old boys) dancing and singing along...everyone else was older folks who had never heard of the Strokes. It was pretty funny.

I will be at the August 1 show in LA! I cannot wait...

I got tickets to go see them mainly b/c of the venue they are playing at, and I like that one guy "Cosmopolitan". Has anyone seen them live? Are they any good?

hey, i'm from atlanta. i'm always around peachtree st/west peachtree st for bars. the thing about atlanta is the parking sucks ass.

AT&T Sued For Sharing Info With Government Homeland Security Boss, White House Slammed For Botched Katrina Response Smashing Pumpkins Reunion Is Under Way, According To Sources 02.02.2006 5:52 PM EST The Smashing Pumpkins' Jimmy Chamberlin and Billy Corgan Photo: Warner Bros Rumors of a Smashing Pumpkins reunion have been rife ever since bandleader Billy Corgan took out a full-page ad in a Chicago newspaper saying he wants the group to re-form. And according to onetime Pumpkins bassist Melissa Auf Der Maur as well as a source close to the situation, the rumors are true. In fact, Auf Der Maur said Corgan has been working on material that will, at some point, surface in the form of a new Smashing Pumpkins album. "From what I understand, Billy [will be] making a Pumpkins record over the next little while," Auf Der Maur told MTV News last week. "Everyone knows Billy doesn't need too many people to make a Pumpkins record, other than Jimmy [Chamberlin, longtime Pumpkins drummer] — who he has [on board]." A spokesperson for Azoff Management confirmed Thursday (February 2) that Corgan and Chamberlin have signed on with the firm as Smashing Pumpkins, and that the two are writing new music. A source close to the situation told MTV News that the duo plan to record over the summer and that the new Pumpkins could surface before the end of the year — however, no definitive plans are set. Auf Der Maur said she's not sure whether Corgan has reached out to guitarist James Iha or bassist D'Arcy Wretzky to complete the band's original lineup, but she said she's told Corgan that she'd be happy to pitch in if he needs her; Auf Der Maur replaced Wretzky in 1999 and worked with the group until it disbanded in 2000 (see "Pumpkins Circus Folds Up With Epic Show"). "My services are there for him whenever he needs them," she said. "Assuming I'm not on tour — but even then, we can cross paths. I love the Pumpkins, and to play those songs again would be nothing but fun for me. It was a big part of my life." Still, Auf Der Maur said it wouldn't be a true Pumpkins reunion without D'Arcy's bass. "The coolest thing would be if D'Arcy was around, but I don't know where she's at and I don't think [Corgan or Chamberlin] do either," she said. "But I feel very comfortable being second best." The bassist worked with Corgan several months ago on a track called "Took Me Apart" that's slated to appear on her forthcoming, as-yet-untitled second solo disc, which is tentatively scheduled to come out late this year. Since Corgan's proclamation in June that he'd re-form the group (see "Billy Corgan Says He Wants To Re-Form Smashing Pumpkins"), there's been little in the way of actual confirmed news. But that hasn't stopped the rumor mill from cranking, nor has it deterred the dissemination of misinformation. Last week, for instance, a Web site popped up that claimed the band's forthcoming disc would be out in April, that it would be called Drawn and would feature backing vocals from Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard. Of course, the site was a hoax — and its timing couldn't have been better, coming after weeks of online speculation that had the Pumpkins reuniting for a headlining spot on this year's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Speculation that Corgan's seminal rock troupe would be taking Coachella's stage in late April was at least partially quashed on Wednesday, when the event's organizers released the two-day concert's Pumpkin-less official bill (see "Tool And Franz Ferdinand Will Rock Coachella"). That same afternoon, rumors began circulating that the Pumpkins would be headlining Lollapalooza this summer. However, according to the source, if Lolla does come back, "You can take it to the bank [that the Pumpkins] won't be on it." Chamberlin responded enthusiastically to Corgan's announcement in June (see "Smashing Pumpkins Drummer On Reunion: 'I'm In, And I'm Excited' "), but no further details followed. The drummer has also had an uneasy relationship with Corgan at times, having left the band in the wake of his heroin addiction before rejoining in 1999. Chamberlin also played in Corgan's post-Pumpkins unit Zwan. Corgan's reunion plans were first revealed in June via an ad printed in his hometown's newspaper, the Chicago Tribune, which contained no information on what form the band would take or which members would be involved; his relationships with Iha and Wretzky have been reported as strained. Corgan has remained mum since taking out the ad, posting only occasional (and nebulous) messages on his MySpace blog. The last, dated December 12, promised, "The surprise I have in store for you all will be announced soon enough. Hold on to your horses. After all, good things surely come to those who wait. Don't you just love the suspense?" Whether or not she's involved, Auf Der Maur says she just wants the band's reunion to be done right. "I hope they don't rush it, 'cause the record should be the absolute best it can be. [And they should] then strategize, because as we know, grunge is about to come back: The '80s trend is almost done and we're about to hit 1990 again. It's scary to think, but very true." All I have to say is, HELL YES! :P

So I set my alarm clock for 9:55am this morning, b/c the Strokes tickets were going on sale at 10am. Well, I hit the snooze button twice, which meant I woke up at 10:05...well, by the time I got onto the ticketmaster site, ALL TICKETS WERE SOLD OUT! I missed them last time they were here. This sucks so much ass....ok, sorry, I had to vent. :embarrased:

i'm thinking about how my ass needs to go to bed (its 2am) and i'm going to be paying for this tomorrow

Thanks! I saw Muse this past April and was blown away. I can't WAIT to see them again the concert...they're the best act out there by far.

seems like a nice person has a funny quote about Guy in their signature

Brian, the really cute one, haha. Decent guy. And yes, I met Chris Martin. He is probably the nicest guy (celebrity or non celebrity) I've ever met. Great manners and eyes! I posted a picture of us two under "post pictures of the gorgeous chris martin" thread. It's in the much later part of the thread....

go ahead, add me. I'm so new to this myspace thing. I sorta got forced into it. So add me. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=39352445

Chris Martin :smug: Billy Corgan (he was just okay) Krist Novoselic (bassist for Nirvana and one of the nicest, kindest guys I've ever met) A Backstreet Boy lol A couple of baseball players ...and that's it, I think...

Ooo...how were they?

:o :o My goodness. Guy was blessed by God, I swear.

A bunch of papers A 12 can box of Diet Coke Cigarettes (I'm trying to stop!) Clothes in the trunk... Basically, it's complete chaos!

Okay, so I just now got onto my space out of complete boredom. Is anyone on here on myspace??

Holy fecking Moly! :o :lol: :wink3: man i think that's really joanne :o Looks like Joanna to me.... Joanna is really pretty. Ahh, well. Who said I had a chance? lol

Oh my goodness, that was hilarious! I love the 'Apple' bit.

I kept hearing about Bloc Party, but didn't really pay much attention to them until recently. I downloaded some of their songs, and I really liked Helicopter..so I may go out and get the record. I think Matt is a great drummer.

Okay, yeah. NEVERMIND. It's a damn rumor and I'm stupid.
