Smashing Pumpkins Tickets - A Beautiful Kind of Rock

There's something about a frontman that can hit a high note without trying. Yes, you have your Scott Weilands, Chris Cornells, and Anthony Kiedises. But nothing can compare to the sweet sounds of one Billy Corgan, plus guitarist James Iha, bass guitarist D'Arcy Wretzky, and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin. They made up the phenomenal alt rock band called Smashing Pumpkins. Hailing originally from Chicago, the band began in 1988 and was able to sign with the local label Limited Potential for their debut album.

Smashing Pumpkins Tickets - The Music of the Pumpkins

It was the year of 1990 when Limited Potential gave the green light for the release of one single, sort of to test the music industry waters -- the single was 'I Am One.' It sold out quicker than IHOP pankcakes and then prompted another single release, 'Tristessa.' The music was so infectious that Virgin Records ultimately grabbed hold of the band and signed them to a major deal. Their official first album release, Gish, saw the light of a Spring day in 1991. It did well enough to prompt the release of a second album, which Corgan himself worked hard on. The resulting work was called Siamese Dream, a huge and immaculate production of remarkable sounds. Some of the top hits in that album were 'Cherub Rock,' 'Today,' and 'Disarm.' Most people, though, would claim that the Pumpkins' best album was the third: Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Helmed by the tremendous singles 'Bullet with Butterfly Wings,' '1979,' 'Zero,' and of course 'Tonight, Tonight,' this album went platinum over eight times! It was the highlight of the Pumpkins' career.

Smashing Pumpkins Tickets - The Sound and Style of the Pumpkins

They were unique in the sense that Corgan had a remarkably unique voice, along with the lyrics that were unparalleled. They defined alternative rock music and set the stage for other alt rock outfits to prosper, never mimicking the seclusion that was the grunge rock phenomenon of Pearl Jam or the destructive nature of Nirvana. Smashing Pumpkins aimed with the essence of dream pop styles, prog rock, goth rock, heavy metal, and psychedelia to revolutionize the genre of alternative rock music.
