Everything about this band is great. If there is one band who's music is representing who I am, what I feel and what I'm living for, than it's The Smashing Pumpkins. Their sound, melodies, lyrics, looks, it's all there. It's great and magical. I became a real fan in 2000, just before the breakup and could never visit a concert from the band. In 2003, I saw Zwan and shaked hands with Billy. In 2005 I saw The Complex and met Jimmy there. I saw them in Pinkpop 2007 and in Den Bosch in 2008 (that show was a little dissapointing BTW) and I really hope to see them somewhere 2009, too.
