Smashing Pumpkins Plan “Gish” Box Set and Tour

Billy Corgan has hinted that he will be releasing a Gish box set in honor of it’s 17th anniversary.
The box set will obviously include the Pumpkins 1991 debut, as well as material that preceded Gish. The only other info out right now is that the box set will be released sometime this year.
To coincide with the the box set, the Pumpkins will also embark on a Gish tour. Billy had already mentioned plans to celebrate the Pumpkins twenty years as band with a tour sometime this year as well.
The Gish box set is likely the first reissue of the Pumpkins catalog, which Corgan mentioned to Rolling Stone back in March.
I’m all about giving fans access to rarities, but does Billy really need to celebrate the 17th anniversary of an album? I guess when you have an ego the size of Billy’s can you do whatever you want.
Check out some old school Gish, and Billy with hair, with the video for “Siva”.

Billy is a genius, even those who loathe him can’t stop talking about him, 17 years later.

Every time you mention SP you say something that cracks me up. I think I’ve noted before that I like Gish, but maybe only only two of their songs past that. Since everyone I’ve known worships them, it’s always nice that you don’t seem to. Think I’m caught up here at SLA now, so I’m out.
