Smashing Pumpkins drop album concept

'Zeitgeist', the last Smashing Pumpkins album, will be the last Smashing Pumpkins album.

Drummer Jimmy Chamberlain has announced that the band is no longer interested in the CD format anymore.

He says that although they will continue to make music, they will not record CDs.

In a statement at the Smashing Pumpkins website, Chamberlain has reassured fans that there will be more music. "The Smashing Pumpkins, will continue to write, record, release, and perform as long as we are able," he states.

"Some of you may have read bits of an interview that was done in confidence by yours truly in which I say that the Pumpkins probably won't record CD's anymore. What I meant by this is this: Although we may not use the "album" or "full length CD" as a format anymore, we will write and record music until we are dead".

Chamberlain's original comments were taken to mean that the band was finished. "We are not going away," he says. "I could go on about how I was stolen from, violated, lied to by some ignoble journalist, but what's the point?"
