Smashing Pumpkins' "Doomsday Clock" now available on iTunes

Dis not the pumpkins! Although they did do the theme to "Batman & Robin" urrgh....

However, I'm looking forward to listening to it later!

All I can think off is that scene from the Simpsons when the Smashing Pumpkins guest starred!

"Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins."

"Homer Simpson, smiling politely."



Anyway, does that album cover give anyone else the vibe that this may be a political album? It really doesn't matter to me, I was never really a fan.

I downloaded this yesterday and really liked the song. I didn't dig it at first, but it really grew on me the more I thought about the song somehow playing in the background during Megatron and Prime's ultimate battle.

i agree, not much fuss to do over it

I hope the people who feel this way aren't the same people who are so unbelievably psyched to see Stan Bush perform at BotCon. Nothing against Stan Bush, but he pales in comparison to the Pumpkins. In my opinion they are one of the greatest modern rock/alternative bands.

i know what you mean, and i feel the same way. in big movies like this, i only think the songs that play should be orchestral like in king kong. the songs on the soundtrack only seem right for credits, but not even sometimes. if they were to make a soundtrack, i feel it would be better if it was ALL from an orchestral score.

it should be played during the credits not during the battle scene. but anways. billy corgan its good to have you back with the pumpkins. your solo music stank.

wow, that song really isnt very good. they better not use that in the final battle.

A good song, but as much as I love the pumpkins, I don't want this to play during the movie.

Billy Corgan + D'Arcy + James Iha + a drum machine = Smashing Pumpkins

Billy Corgan + James Iha = Starchildren

Billy Corgan + Jimmy Chamberlin = Smashing Pumpkins reunion

1. James and Darcy never really did anything on the records of course there was always those James Iha b-sides and his solo album. Billy and Jimmy have always been the heart and soul of the pumpkins. The live boots of the Zeitgeist tour this year show that. Jeff, Ginger and Lisa are doing a wonderful job.

2. Starchildren consisted of Billy with collaborations with James, Jimmy, and D'Arcy, Bob
English, and Mark Rew, Neil Jendon, Cliff Fox, and Kerry Brown of Catherine.

3. Billy never called a reunion. It's a reformation. As he stated in this radio interview.
