Here Is The Smashing Pumpkins’ ‘The World Is A Vampire Tour’ Setlist

Last fall, The Smashing Pumpkins’ show at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles was amplified by a surprise appearance from Willow Smith , who joined them for a rendition of “Cherub Rock.” This year, the Billy Corgan-fronted band embarked on their The World Is A Vampire Tour . Interpol and Stone Temple Pilots are serving as openers.

“I grew up in a world where I needed to know bands like Siouxsie And The Banshees and The Cure existed, it meant there was a place for people like me to hang out and belong,” Corgan said in a statement upon the tour announcement this March . “That’s what The World Is A Vampire is about. Bringing back that sense of community.”

He continued, “If you don’t fit in, you belong here. It’s about having a shared experience and respecting others, but ultimately having fun. A true alternative festival, where all the self-proclaimed weirdos and outsiders of the world can get together and have a party.”

The World Is A Vampire Tour kicked off with two shows at The Chelsea At The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas on July 28 and July 30 before hitting Salt Lake City, Utah on August 1. The next scheduled show is for Thursday, August 3, at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California. See all the remaining North American dates here .

Smashing Pumpkins (formed in 1988) is an American alternative rock band formed by frontman Billy Corgan and guitarist James Iha.

Following the break-up of his gothic rock band The Marked, frontman Billy Corgan departed his home in St. Petersburg, Florida, U.S. and returned to his native city Chicago, U.S. Before long Corgan met rhythm guitarist James Iha and the two practiced and made their debut performance as a duo at the Polish Bar Chicago 21. The pair named themselves The Smashing Pumpkins and shortly after met bassist D’arcy Wretzky who was invited to join along with jazz drummer Jimmy Chamberlin.

The Smashing Pumpkins made their recording debut on a Chicago alternative rock compilation CD entitled “Light Into Dark”, which was followed by their sell-out debut single “I Am One” released in 1990 through Limited Potential Records. The band’s full-length debut arrived after signing with Caroline Records in 1991, “Gish”, produced by Butch Vig, fused alternative rock with heavy metal, psychedelia and dream pop, drawing comparisons with Jane’s Addiction. After subsequently releasing the EP “Lull” in October 1991, The Smashing Pumpkins signed with Virgin Records and supported their album with opening slots for bands such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane’s Addiction and Guns N’ Roses.

In an attempt to move drummer Chamberlin away from his narcotic supply, the band moved to Marietta, Georgia in 1992 to record their sophomore album. With the help of producer Butch Vig again, “Siamese Dream” came about amidst a sea of turbulence within the band. Corgan, as with the first album, thought it was best for him alone to play all the guitar and bass parts, drawing some resentment from Wretzky and Iha. Chamberlin quickly found new drug connections and was absent for days at a time and Corgan was responding to his depression by spending all of his time in the studio.

Followed by a relentless touring schedule with appearances at 1994’s Lollapalooza tour and Reading Festival in 1995, Virgin issued a B-sides and rarities compilation titled “Pisces Iscariot” which reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200.

For the follow-up album frontman Corgan wrote fifty-six songs which ultimately got narrowed down to twenty-eight for 1995’s “Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness”. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, became double platinum selling, earned the band seven Grammy nominations and spawned the hits “Bullet with Butterfly Wings” and “1979”. Around this time The Smashing Pumpkins were considered one of the biggest bands in the world, with considerable airplay on MTV and an appearance on the Simpsons.

In 1996 touring keyboardist Jonathan Melvoin and Chamberlin overdosed on heroin in a hotel room in New York City, Melvoin died and Chamberlin fortunately escaped the same fate. Chamberlin was subsequently fired and Corgan named “Mellon Collie…” the band’s last conventional rock album. True to his word the album’s follow-up “Adore” arrived in 1998 and represented a huge shift towards electronica and gothic influences. The album sold around 830,000 copies which was considered a failure by the record label. The band supported the release with a 17-date North American tour funded entirely out of the band’s pocket, of which they donated $2.8 million in total to charity over the course of.

After a short lived reunion with rehabilitated Chamberlin and the departure of Wretzky, who was replaced by Melissa Auf der Maur, The Smashing Pumpkins released their fifth full-length “Machina/The Machines of God” in 2000. The album performed poorly compared to its predecessors, however was argued to be one of their strongest. In 2000 the band announced they were disbanding after independently releasing “Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music” in September.

In 2005 Corgan took out a full-page ad in The Chicago Tribune to announce The Smashing Pumpkins were returning. Chamberlin was the only original other member to actually return, but alongside new guitarist Jeff Schroder and bassist Ginger Reyes they released the album “Zeitgiest” in 2007. From 2009 Corgan released a scattered selection of songs from a 44-track concept titled “Teargarden by Kaleidyscope” and followed by the full-length “Oceana” in 2010. The announcement of two new albums came in 2014 to tie up “Teargarden” concept, with the names “Monuments to an Elegy” and “Day for Night”.

Live reviews

I used to listen to Smashing Pumpkins growing up. I didn't listen to a lot of their stuff, probably only like a song or two, so it was kind of neat to see this concert. I'm not sure what I was expecting when I went to see them, but the concert performance was overall a lot more low key than I was expecting, but not in a bad way.

As it is, it's kind of what I expect from an alternate rock group. The venue is very fitting for this band and their performance, a dark place with low lighting giving off the feeling of low energy and little movement. There's a certain kind of drab intensity I feel while watching this concert, kind of like time has slowed down and the outside world doesn't exist, at least for now. It's oddly enjoyable.

During the songs, the crowd is very quiet, but will show their appreciation in between songs. Billy Corgan does a good job singing, as always. The rest of the band is very good as well, especially the drummer. Billy as I recollect him looks very young (due to this being over 20 years ago), and there's a grunge feel to the concert because of the times. The music and atmosphere feels kind of raw but in the grungy sort of way.

Report as inappropriate

If it had not been for the love, respect, and talent of the Pumpkins, the entire night would have been trash. A certain entertainer from across the pond is just a mirage of an oasis since splitting with his brother, but he made matters worse. From his first interactions with the crowd and everyone after, he made it a point to belittle the community, state, and fans with "F" bomb laden disparaging remarks. His condescending attitude oozed from every pure of his being. Hemade completely clear from comments such as the first of his set, 75% of his set, was "fucking for him" and "buy his fucking merchandise because he isn't making a dime just fucking performing there," made it evident that he truly was a wretched person consumed by greed and former fame. His parting shot was "fuck Rogers, fuck Arkansas, we're never fucking coming back to this fucking state again!" May he have a safe, expensive, and miserable stay and trip back from Arkansas and the United States.

The Pumpkins killed it as did AFI!

I didn't see Smashing Pumpkins lately. I saw them at the Arlene Schnitzer Auditorium in 2016 and the show was great but I didn't buy the tickets. I had a dream while napping the afternoon of the show telling me, I need to go up to the box office at the Schnitzer with $80 and see if I can get tickets. At that time I was listening to Siamese Dream everyday and finding for the first time so long after it was released I was amazed. We got to the box office and they were sold out so a guy in line was watching the whole thing and offered an extra ticket he had because his girlfriend didn't want to go and then another guy about 15 people back said basically the same thing, so I had 2 tickets for free for me and my date. It pays to listen to your dreams " Siamese Dream's" that is..

This was an amazing show! They played flawlessly in my opinion. From songs like 'Today', and 'Tonight, Tonight', to David Bowie's 'Fame' their energy tore the roof off the Warfield!!

What I especially liked was there was no opening act, it was just them, what I came to see!

This was one of the best shows I've seen in a very long time!

The last time I had an opportunity to see them was around 1992/1993 when they headlined Lollapalooza. At the time they only played one song because it seemed they were wasted on something! I remember being very disappointed with this.

This time I was happy to hear Billy say that he never appreciated the fans when he was younger, but now he does! This really reflected in their performance!

What a show! I am still in awe!

I had never been to a smashing pumpkins concert before and I didn't know what to expect. Their songs are great. They played all the ones I am familiar with. They sang awesome. However I was not impressed with their stage show. They just stood there like statues. The background set was boring. And the stage lights kept blinding me and gave me a headache. I actually fell asleep during smashing pumpkins. Marilyn Manson was also there. He was kick ass. Awesome stage show as always. Seen him like 5xs before. Interacted with the audience. Great background set and props as always. Loved it,the best part of the show was Manson!!!!

3 stars. Overall a good show and reasonably priced. They did a great job on a Bowie cover and the first half of the show was great. The second half was featured a lot of Zwan and their newer stuff which I like to call twitchy techo rock, Just not feeling it. They did a version of "Stand Inside Your Love" where Katie Cole leads the vocals, it was amazing. Billy's got a signature voice but I think it sounds better in a duet. Sorry to end on a bad note but, I don't know how you screw up Disarm but they found a way... Billy Solo with an organ. Skip the bad Rolling stones cover and get out before the encore.

I was fortunate enough to see this show in OKC on Saturday and then again on Wednesday in Dallas. Even though it was the same set both nights, I loved every second of it. While they do play a good amount of hits, some of the other tunes and covers they play are really what stand out over the 3+ hour set. The stage production is probably the best I've ever seen them have. I've seen The Smashing Pumpkins every chance I've had for the past 22 years and Billy and Jimmy still shred their instruments and impress me every time. If you're on the fence about this show, GO. You will not regret it.

I kind of feared the new lineup and new material would provide a less than thrilling night out but boy was I wrong. This is a very tight band and I was captivated by every song, including the many new ones I didn't know, because of the power and skill of the playing and the quality of the compositions. This was a guitar feast with two fabulous soloists taking it in turns to dazzle us. Especially in the second half of the show it was a ferocious sonic assault; classy, masterful, above all really heavy. For the nostalgic they played plenty of hits too. I loved it. Pumpkins still rule!

The Paramount Theater in Seattle seems to be a perfectly appropriate venue for the Smashing Pumpkins. The sound was very well managed - loud enough to rock but not so loud that it was just ringing.

I especially liked Billy's cover of Space Oddity but the rendition of Disarm with the Organ was odd to me, but then I love playing that tune on my acoustic guitar so I guess I am biased.

The only thing I didn't like was that leg room for the seats. It felt very cramped and tight. But is was easy to forget about that when listening to the band.

Best concert ever! The band was on fire, Corgan and Iha are a surprisingly good comic duo, the setlist was incredible with songs spanning all their career and surprise numbers like a Rolling Stones cover. The stage was magic, with giant puppets and light shows that really made the evening seem like something out of a dream.

The location is small and collected and the sound was PERFECT, contributing to the atmosphere: it seemed like an evening with friends, the gods descending between men to share stories and emotions.

Beyond good.
