Smashing Pumpkins hire 19-year-old drummer

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Smashing Pumpkins hire 19-year-old drummer

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/ju ... re-drummer

Smashing Pumpkins' new drummer is a kid from Oregon who isn't old enough to buy beers at US clubs.

i think this could go either way

a) the good way - like the sisters, the young guy could come in full of energy and fresh ideas and be the kick up the arse that mopey old git needs

b) the bad way - corgan's ego will take over and he'll make mincemeat of the kid, who will last 2 minutes and then spend the next 3 years in therapy

not a fan of the pumpkins anyway, so i don't actually care, but the potential for similarity struck me...

I was a fan but big baldy is destroying the heritage of a once great band with his self indulgent twaddle.

Wee baldy is doing no bad.....

Good for him/them!

What is it with 19year old drummers these days? Bruce Springsteen & the E-Street band are on tour and they also have a 19 year old on drums for some dates... Okay, it is actually their regular drummer's son, but still :eek:

Man gets on bus
15-Apr-2009 11:44 AM

IN what is believed to be the first reported incident of its kind, a man got on a bus yesterday.

“It was easy,� he said. “I just lifted one leg up and then the other and I was on�.

Fiji Daily Post reporters found witnesses willing to confirm the happening.

“Yes�, said one who asked to remain anonymous, “I saw him get on the bus�.

Another witness who also preferred to remain unidentified told this newspaper it was “the early morning bus�.

“I was waiting opposite the shop when I saw him run to catch the bus.�

What happened next was a remarkable feat – the man actually got on the bus, we believe.

Students from a local school who had been waiting for two hours in the rain for the bus also confirmed that they saw the man board.

“We are happy for him�, one student remarked in terms reminiscent of Neil Armstrong (the first man to step onto the moon): “it may be one small step for him, but it is one giant step for the people of Fiji�.
