Trent Reznor slams Smashing Pumpkins ahead of festival link-up
Bands come face to face at Carling Weekend: Reading And Leeds Festivals
4 hours ago
Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor has slammed Smashing Pumpkins' comeback - just before the bands share a bill at The Carling Weekend: Reading and Leeds festivals.
Reznor's outfit are second on the bill to the grunge titans in Leeds tonight (August 24) and in Reading on Sunday (26).
The Pumpkins headlined the bash back in 1995, at the height of their commercial success. Frontman Billy Corgan split the band in 2000, but they reconvened last year and released a new album, 'Zeitgeist', in July. However, along with Corgan, the only other previous member of the group who remains is drummer Jimmy Chamberlain.
Reznor told NME.COM: "I was never a big Smashing Pumpkins fan back when they were the Pumpkins, not to shit on Billy (Corgan) or anything but I don't hear anything that would make me want to care.
"I think trying to resurrect the name Smashing Pumpkins .........its all a bit corporate for me."
And Reznor admitted he wasn't overly impressed with the line-up on the day his band are playing, though he did have positive comments to make about the festival in general.
He commented: "I heard the line up for another day and that sounded a lot better than the line up on the day we are playing, so I doubt you will see me on the side of the stage for Fall Out Boy!"
He added: "But it's (Carling Weekend) always seemed the crème de la crème of festivals. This is the definitely the highlight of our tour when it comes up." Trent Reznor slams Smashing Pumpkins ahead of festival link-up | News | NME.COM  |

| | | I just read this an hour ago. I totally agree. It just isnt the Smashing Pumpkins any more, never mind what the name suggests to you. |

| | | to be honest i really can't blame billy for naming this thing the pumpkins. it probably brought in a lot more cash than "the billy corgan show" would.
it still blows though. i want james to do something musically soon. |

Kerrang! Radio reported that "Reznor admitted he's already in talks about a movie version of his upcoming album a concept piece, with part two scheduled for next year."[31] He had earlier noted Year Zero as "part of a bigger picture of a number of things I'm working on. Essentially, I wrote the soundtrack to a movie that doesn't exist."[24] Reznor has commented that he is currently more interested in a television project, rather than a film project. He has reportedly said that he has a producer and he has met with writers.[32] On August 10, 2007 Trent Reznor announced that they would soon be taking the concept to television networks, in an attempt to make some kind of deal. "We're about to pitch it to the network, so we're a couple of weeks away from meeting all of the main people, and we'll see what happens."[33]

Although I do agree with him about the Pumpkins, he certainly has no room to talk. |

and btw, i think BC has the right to name 'his band' the smashing pumpkins, bc james and d'arcy didn't have that much input musically on any of the albums. siamese dream was recorded solely by BC/JC. |

| | | Trent is one to talk! At least people actually notice who's who in S.P. If certain members of N.IN. left, any non-fans wouldn't even notice. What a jealous bitch! |

What a jealous bitch! | I couldn't even have told you that there were other members of NIN! I figured it was one guy masquerading as a group, like Simply Red. Only even crappier, and without selling squillions of records.

nin was never a band....nin is reznor. his vison, his ideas.
the pumpkins were a band even though billy dictated it, the others still had some sort of say and were on the pumpkins payroll, not hired hands like the nin crew.
