you should do a little research...
Eight months after Jimmy Chamberlin left the Smashing Pumpkins, and seven months after SmashingPumpkins.com reported that Billy Corgan claimed still to have an “excellent relationship” with his former bandmate, Chamberlin now has offered his own comments on where the two stand.
HU reader Joe S. attended the drum clinic put on by Chamberlin last night in La Crosse, Wisconsin (some videos can be found here), and he posted a partial transcript of a recording he took:
I felt like there was stuff inside of me that I needed to, as an individual, as a father, as a husband, and as a musician that I needed to kind of explore my inner studio space a little bit more. And I didn’t think that being a drummer was what I needed to do at that particular point. Just if anyone has any questions…I am still friends with Billy. We still love each other. And more power to the Pumpkins, I think he deserves to go on with the name and the guy’s a great songwriter and he’ll go on to make a great record. So, let’s give it up for the man! [Crowd claps] As will I go on and make great music as well! [More crowd applause] As WILL YOU! [More applause] Because it’s not rocket science. All’s it takes is a spot you can see in the distance that’s where you want to get to. The rest is kind of easy. Once you have a vision of where you want to take it…you’ll get there!
