Episode Synopsis

In this epic deep dive, Jimmy peels back the glittery, grungy layers of The Smashing Pumpkins — from the sweaty Chicago clubs of the late '80s to the arena-filling drama of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and beyond.It’s a tale of towering ambition, dreamy distortion, internal implosions, and the ever-unapologetic Billy Corgan. We’re talking about the band that blurred the lines between grunge, goth, and glam with tracks like “Today,” “1979,” and “Bullet with Butterfly Wings.”Join us for a journey through fuzzy guitars, drug-fueled chaos, rock operas, wrestling rings, and pumpkins that never quite stayed smashed.TheRockPod.com | All Killer.
