"This was bastard the best birthday present ever," said Wretzky, who turned 30 the day before. son." -- Rick But all of that came later. The night began with an air of surprise wafting through Chicago's Metro club that had less to do with the Nielsen, fact that the Smashing Pumpkins were opening for Cheap Trick -- Cheap which had been a widely publicized "secret" for days -- than with Trick the wonder of what the Pumpkins would bring to the stage. With the Pumpkins prepping to launch a European tour in support of their fourth album, Adore (June 2), in just weeks, the gig conjured several questions for fans. Foremost in many folks' minds was what would the new material sound like? Just as compelling, however, was the question of how former John Mellencamp drummer Aronoff would mesh with the Pumpkins' alt-rock aesthetic in his first performance with the group since joining the band as a touring member last month. Those who raised their eyebrows at reports that Adore is an electronica-laden exploration needn't worry that Corgan and company have abandoned their sweeping, modern rock epics. Saturday's eight-song, 55-minute set was filled with clamorous guitar, from the climactic soundscape of "Tear" to "Daphne Descends"' trippy spaciness to the rhythmic rock of the album's first single, "Ava Adore." As for Aronoff, the man who's gigged with such traditional rockers as Mellencamp, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and John Fogerty, he proved that he knows damn well how to beat it with the young turks. Throughout the set, Aronoff did nothing short of kick out the jams. The band took the stage promptly at 7:30 and laid into an eight-minute run through Adore's resigned-sounding opener, "To Sheila." The career Pumpkins -- singer/guitarist Corgan, bassist Wretzky and guitar player James Iha -- were clad head-to-toe in black. Wretzky, in fact, looked like a Marilyn Manson refugee, sporting a head-band with black cat ears, a see-through mesh top, gray eye shadow and black lipstick. Aronoff, to the contrary, looked as if he were pulling double-duty with U2 in his tight, shoulder-striped T-shirt and yellow, wrap-around fly shades. Despite the fact that Aronoff is more than a dozen years Corgan's senior, the band clearly had fun teasing him as the low-man on the Pumpkins totem pole. Before beginning the quiet "Once Upon A Time," Corgan stopped and mock- chastised the drummer, smiling as he told the audience, "You can tell he's the new drummer." The bald singer then turned to Aronoff and said, "I know with Mellencamp you may play while he's talking, but when we're talking, you don't play underneath!" The skinsman was indeed a highlight of the show, appearing genuinely charged by his bandmates' challenges and, in turn, expertly endowing Adore's material with the power and drama it demands. Rocco Egizio and Mike Laudicina, both of Illinois, agreed that Corgan should hire him full-time. "He should keep Aronoff and learn to have as much fun as he is up there," Egizio said. Much of that fun spilled over into the audience, who grooved enthusiastically throughout the show, be it to the techo-tinged rock of "Daphne Descends" (featuring soaring, screeching guitar lines from Iha) or the group's self-indulgent and Black Sabbathesque take on Joy Division's "Transmission." Although the crowd was composed primarily of Cheap Trick fans (who sold the show out weeks before the Pumpkins' slot was leaked), the modern-rock megastars won them over early with "Tear," which opened with an a cappella intro from Corgan. "The lights came on fast, lost in motorcrash," he sang, "Gone in a flash unreal, but you knew all along/ You laugh the light, I sing the songs to watch you numb." Eventually the song broke away into a military cadence of single notes from Iha and Corgan, before blasting into an atmospheric wash of cymbals from Aronoff. Still, the sure crowd-pleaser was "Ava Adore," which last week made its way to some radio stations and has since turned up as an MP3 audio file on several unofficial Pumpkins websites. Aronoff turned the studio version's machine-made beat into an organic thud as Corgan twisted his face and sneered the schizoid opening: "It's you that I adore/ You'll always be my whore/ You'll be a mother to my child/ and a child to my heart." Making the transition from the high-brow Pumpkins to party-hearty Cheap Trick was like a car jacking its gears from second to fifth. No matter that the odd juxtaposition was tantamount to leaving the vehicle's drive train on the highway - - the crowd at the Metro was more than happy to party around the wreckage. Cheap Trick are an amalgam of everything that has ever been fun in rock -- a collection of stereotypes, really: legs spread, knees bent power chords; riff-laden, cymbal-rolling song finishes; guitar flourishes punctuated with leaps. It's that very spirit that prompted the band to book a four-night stand at the Metro, with each night focusing on a particular Trick album. This is also a band with a charming dedication to its fans, who have responded more than in kind. Richard Averdahl, for instance, flew in for the show from Sweden, where Cheap Trick haven't played since 1979. Mari Iwasa and Uyoy Masada, both of whom attended the 1978 Japanese show that spawned the multi- platinum Live At Budokan, were at all four shows in Chicago. But the truly remarkable thing was that Nielsen knew all this and could point these fans out in the crowd. Of course, Cheap Trick didn't disappoint on the music end, either, especially when it came to one of their biggest fans, Corgan. By the time the band launched into "I Want You To Want Me" from Saturday's featured album, In Color, Corgan was grinning from ear to ear in the balcony, throwing his fists in the air and singing along in a manner that can only be described as gleeful. Pumpkins aside, the show was still a special one for the Trickster fans. Because Cheap Trick were showcasing one particular album, they were challenged to play songs that they had, in some cases, never performed live. They were up to the task. "They have matured a lot as a band, and I've matured as well," Budokan-vet Masada said. "I think we played this stuff better than we did originally," Nielsen announced. — SonicNet's Chris Nelson and Matt Carmichael [ Mon., May 4, 1998 12:01 PM EDT ] FREE Sonicnet.com Music News Daily Get music news headlines delivered to your email.

  • “When I Listen to Gish,” Billy Corgan Says Today
    “When I listen to Gish,” Billy Corgan says today, “what I hear is a beautiful naïveté.” They say you never forget the first time, and even twenty years later, the 1991 debut album by Smashing Pumpkins –– guitarist and vocalist Corgan, drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, bassist D’arcy Wretzky and guitarist James Iha –– remains the unforgettable start of a musical conversation that continues to resonate with millions of fans all around the world. In retrospect, Gish can clearly be heard as a groundbreaking album in the history of what would soon become more much widely known as alternative rock. Gish was, after all, the promising debut of a band that would help alternative rock quickly become part of a new, grungier mainstream. But back in the beginning, Gish was simply the memorable opening salvo by a band from Chicago that really didn’t fit in anywhere in the rock world –– that is, until bands like Smashing Pumpkins helped change the rock world once and for all. To hear Corgan tell it now, Smashing Pumpkins came by their beautiful naïveté naturally. “We’d had very little exposure to the national stage,” he explains. “There’s no way that if we had been exposed to all of what was going on in New York and L.A. earlier, we would have made Gish. This is one of those weird albums that sounds like it came from some guy who crawls up out of the basement holding a record in his hands proudly –– a little like the first time we heard Dinosaur Jr. You think, ‘who the hell is this? And where did that come from?’ ” According to Corgan, the album originally came from Smashing Pumpkins’ early vow of poverty.

  • Smashing Pumpkins Pull Off Set with Flawless, Dynamic Precision
    REVIEW: Smashing Pumpkins pull off set with flawless, dynamic precision luchameleon.com /2012/10/review-smashing-pumpkins-pull-off-set-with-flawless-dynamic-precision/ luchameleon By Sean Keenehan Section Editor The Smashing Pumpkins took the stage for a homecoming performance on Friday, October 19th at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, IL. The band performed their entire new album, Oceania, and a wide variety of earlier Pumpkins material in a commanding two-and-a-half-hour set. Photo By Sean Keenehan/The Chameleon. The Smashing Pumpkins held a homecoming concert Oct 19 at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, IL. With a stage production that included a large, inflatable, cylindrical LED screen suspended above the band, the Pumpkins pulled off Oceania with flawless, dynamic precision, both sonically and visually. The round, three-dimensional ball acted as part projector/part new media art installation, surrounded by a flashing light production that gave the screen the impression of a planet floating in outer space. Singer and guitarist Billy Corgan fronted the current Smashing Pumpkins lineup confidently and comfortably. He playfully traded licks with guitarist Jeff Schroeder (including a back-to-back harmony during the guitar solo of “Ava Adore”), executed perfect pitch, harmonized vocal exchanges with bassist Nicole Florentino (as well as humorous, between-song dialogues) and locked into the groves of 22-year old drummer, Mike Byrne (who also came from behind the drum set to play keyboards). Song highlights from Oceania included “Panopticon,” “Pinwheels,” “The Chimera” and the minimalistic, last song from Oceania, “Wildflower,” on which Schroeder, Florentino and Byrne all played keyboards while Corgan’s lone guitar tones wailed and soared throughout the arena.
