Drummer JIMMY CHAMBERLIN Is 'Excited' About SMASHING PUMPKINS Reunion
June 27, 2005Drummer Jimmy Chamberlin has told Chicago Tribune that he's back in the reunited SMASHING PUMPKINS and is raring to go, according to MTV.com.
Chamberlin is the first of PUMPKINS mainman Billy Corgan's former musical conspirators to confirm his return to the band. Whether guitarist James Iha and bassist D'Arcy Wretzky would follow suit, Chamberlin couldn't say.
"All I can say is that the SMASHING PUMPKINS are Billy, James, myself and D'Arcy," the drummer told the Tribune. "In an ideal world, that's what it will end up being. The hope is that everybody will come to the table, but I can only speak for myself in saying that I'm in, and I'm excited."
Chamberlin did tell the paper that he has not spoken to Wretzky since her departure from the band in August 1999, but does exchange e-mails with Iha regularly. The topic of a PUMPKINS reunion has never come up, Chamberlin said, but "I intend to reach out to him."
