One of many influential alt-rock bands that came out of the 90's era, and one of the most successful bands out of Chicago, the Smashing Pumpkins have placed the windy city on Rocks' map with their nifty little songs, trippy videos, heavy-duty musical narration, hitting everyone with rock opera with one swoop..
But they slowly crumbled like any good cookie thru 5 albums(plus the B-sides album) and years of internal conflict in the band, which made it clear of their inevitable break-up.
A string of solo efforts, new bands came into the fold but the fans are still looking for the Pumpkins.
Now,
The Great Pumpkin tells all in brutal detail.
After battling his inner demons and keeping things to himself for a long time. He does want the Pumpkins back. BADLY.

Defunct Bands, on annais' post-- quoted statement)
On his own website, he has been pouring himself out of things that was known to be OFF-LIMITS to the public before. After going thru therapy with the Pumpkins, now he is trying to do one on his own, embracing all that has happened all through the years. Thru "Witnessing", corgan is slowly healing himself by embracing what has happened in his past.
TheFutureEmbrace, his Solo Project, tells us another set of his "little songs" that also is part of his effort to make the wounds heal and get the Pumpkins back. He said:

Still we might not see or hear them play together NOW. But maybe SOON.
Hope springs eternal.
And YES, I am hopeful that the Pumpkins will be BACK. Are you?
