As the 1990s grunge sensation The Smashing Pumpkins gears up for tomorrow's release of its newest EP, the band has just one familiar face left in the lineup: the mercurial frontman, Billy Corgan.
Corgan, 43, has replaced every member of the band. The last original member to move on was 45-year-old drummer Jimmy Chamberlin in March of 2009. Corgan, who stated publicly that he fired Chamberlin, replaced him with Mike Byrne, a Portland native who turned 20 in February.

Billy Corgan. Forever an asshole.
The Smashing Pumpkins reunion with one original member. Great fun.

Doesn't this make you happy? Firing a 45 yr. old to give a 20 yr old a job? This is what you said is supposed to happen.
No. It's as lame as the Beach Boys where only Mike Love is the original member of the group.
