Not many bands can boast that the third concert they ever played was opening for Jane's Addiction, but the Smashing Pumpkins were never like many other bands.
If we've learned anything in recent years it's that Smashing Pumpkins leader Billy Corgan is not afraid to tackle large projects. That prolific streak is about to continue as the rocker just inked a new deal with BMG for two new Smashing Pumpkins albums that will arrive in 2015. Furthermore, Corgan has currently demoed over 150 new tracks for the upcoming records.
Not to be confused with your Social Studies text book, the History books are open. I suppose I will preface that with "rock history." On November 11th, 1995, the Smashing Pumpkins double album Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness went to #1 on the charts.
