We're talking one of the most successful and volatile bands of the 1990s: hair journeys, lineup changes, #1 albums, and too many Billy Corgan quotes. It's SMASHING PUMPKINS week!
Joining the show to talk about one of her favorite bands of all time is the great Marissa Paternoster (ex-Screaming Females, Noun)! Marissa lays out the ways her Pumpkins fandom helped her become of the most renowned and unique guitarists of the past 20 years. The guys and her discuss the frustrating and talented enigma that is Billy Corgan, Darcy Wretzky's discontent, and Jimmy Chamberlain's shoulder-filled technical prowess. Clips from the BBC, SNL, The Grammys, Jools Holland, Leno, and Letterman capture a career arc filled with drama, incredible music, and an iconic Simpsons cameo.
