Smashing Pumpkins’ Jimmy Chamberlin has opened up about his relationship with the band since reuniting.
The band recently reunited with its almost original lineup. Lead guitarist James Iha and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin recently rejoined frontman Billy Corgan for a world tour and new music.
Chamberlin has opened up to NME in an interview about the band’s dynamic since the reunion. He revealed that it’s been incredibly successful and that the band is finally aligned musically in every way.
“Absolutely. Everybody has taken this journey in their own unique way. We all have kids, families, and the shared goals to raise our kids in a positive environment. Those kinds of relationships add to the accumulative holistic value of all of that,” he admitted.
He continued: “For the first time, the band is in alignment in every way: musically, socially and familially. The band has come together in a way that’s compassionate. There’s a lot of compassion, grace, and appreciation for one another.”
Their latest album, Shiny and Oh So Bright, Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun, which is a product of this new, holistic relationship, is due for release on November 16.
