They also have three new touring members. A trumpet player, a trombone player and a violinist.

You're right.

latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2008...smashing-pumpki.html
Full lyrics from "As Rome Burns" below (I grabbed the lyrics sheet off the stage post-gig). Avert your eyes, Pumpkins fans who are partial to tunes like "Tonight, Tonight": this is not a love song:

“We are the new gods/same as the old gods/we’ll take all your blood/and turn it into mud/as Rome burns/one by one/two by two/together they ride/side by side/into love/together they die/and still they want to weather the tide/as Rome burns.”

“Forgiveness all your days/to count what you can’t save/we’ll take out one good eye/and leave a world to fall behind/as Rome burns.”

“I see them everywhere out shaking to the beat/cursing out their elements/with chaos, chaos bleats/ands what seemed urgent then turns wicked in the heat/as Rome burns to the mother (expletive deleted) ground”

But the second half of the set left the curious crowd, heavy on Best Buy execs and contest-winners, feeling confused, used or worse.

Aw, that's The Pumpkins we all love. :)

With you there rebel! Thanks for sharing the link, sounds like a brill show. Hopefully someone will have As Rome Burns on the net soon, fraking love the lyrics. They seem to slightly have the mood, in a way, of Nemesis by Shriekback just not as dark.

*laugh* Thought Billy saying he felt like Sarah Palin up there was pretty funny. Too bad the reporter misunderstood the meaning.
