Billy Corgan might think that The Smashing Pumpkins are a better band than Pearl Jam and Foo Fighters — and he is right, by the way — but the Pumpkins might not even be around much longer. According to a recent interview with "The Wall Street Journal," Corgan hinted that the next Smashing Pumpkins album, "Day for Night," could well be the last. "The next album is like the end, end, end," Corgan says when discussing his "psychic impression of the future" in terms of new Pumpkins albums. "The trite way to say it is I'm over rock 'n' roll. Which is strange because rock 'n' roll is getting back into me." If Corgan were to end the Smashing Pumpkins after the next album, it would not be the first time the band — "project" is a more appropriate word at this point — has fallen apart. The Pumpkins initially split in 2000, but reunited in 2006, though guitarist James Iha and bassist D'arcy Wretzky chose not to participate. Corgan is currently the sole original member of the band and the only official member at the moment other than rhythm guitarist Jeff Schroeder.
