Smashing Pumpkins Won't Reform!

NEW YORK (Top40 Charts) Billy Corgan has confirmed that he will never reunite the original Smashing Pumpkins.
The lineup on the band's first album Gish featured Corgan alongside drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, guitarist James Iha and bassist D'arcy Wretzky.

Billy Corgan told to Rolling Stone: "The things that have happened between us in the interim haven't been good. There's been lawsuits and lots of stupid stuff. It's only made it worse. If it was bad before, it's really bad now.

Jimmy and I aren't enemies - he's just off doing what he wants to do, as he should. There's not super bad blood between me and Jimmy that we'd never get on stage again.
But I cannot in any way, shape, or form ever envision standing on a stage, playing music again with James and D'arcy. I just don't see any situation where that would be possible."

Asked if he could reunite with producer Butch Vig, who helmed Gish and follow-up Siamese Dream, Corgan said: "Oh yeah. I love Butch and we have a very good relationship. I'd love to. He's probably one of the only people I'd get in the studio with again."
