Jimmy was born in 64 so he's a late boomer. Corgan was born in 67. James and Darcy were born in 68 which makes them Gen X.

@@rushshukla4636 You think being born 3-4 years apart can put people in distinctly different generations? That isn't how that works. Jimmy Chamberlain would have been 18 in 1982. D'arcy in 1986. That's the same generation. Jimmy isn't in the same generation as an actual boomer, born in, say, 1950, or 1954. When you come of age is the most important part of which generation you belong to.

He seems to have a thing for Asians as there are two in the current lineup of TSP.

One of the few shows the Pumpkins ever played with Nirvana. As I'm writing this I look above and see that the description already says what I'm currently writing, but fuck it... I'm going to continue. The bands got together on stage to play Twister, and Krist Novoselic got down to his underwear and greased himself with Crisco for the advantage. After the game was finished, he grabbed an American flag randomly from the stage and wiped himself off with it, including an exaggerated wipe of his butt, which infuriated a few Boston townies in the crowd. They had to hide out and get security to escort them out of the club afterwards. Billy and Kurt (who was about to get uber famous in a couple months from this video,) had the Courtney Love connection, and never became friendly unfortunately. Very different people anyways. Okay, I'm rambling now. Later

Ugh. Snotty little Billy when the interviewer asks them if they’re looking forward to seeing any of the other bands, on a bill with a number of bands playing to raise money for charity, in the spirit of unity and rock-and-roll fun, Billy starts to shake his head and say, “No”… until James and Jimmy very clearly say “We wanna see NIRVANA…” then Billy, still snotty, chimes in “Neervana and Bullet Lavolta”. Mind you, Billy was well aware of Nirvana and has since said he was respectfully competitive with Kurt and here you can see Billy’s ego like “F all these other bands. I’m great!” Which is really the attitude that just kinda made him less cool than he could’ve been (classic take on Billy and it was true. He’s just a classic example of a dick). The other 3 were actually the cool ones. lol. You could see in that moment when James and Jimmy were immediately like, “we actually wanna check out this rad OTHER band” the way they said “Nirvana”, Billy felt that energy. That other band.

Imo, not really. When you’re leading the troupe and they’re not performing how you want, it can be frustrating to say the least.

Jimmy Chamberlin (Joliet, Estados Unidos, 10 de junio de 1964) es un baterista, compositor y productor estadounidense. Es conocido principalmente por ser el batería de la banda de rock alternativo The Smashing Pumpkins. Después de un incidente en 1996 relacionado con el consumo de drogas en el que falleció el teclista Jonathan Melvoin, la banda despidió a Chamberlin y se unió a The Last Hard Men, para volver a The Smashing Pumpkins a finales de 1998. Después de la separación de la banda en 2000, Chamberlin se juntó con el líder de la banda Billy Corgan en el supergrupo Zwan además de formar su propio grupo, Jimmy Chamberlin Complex. En 2005, Chamberlin volvió a montar Smashing Pumpkins junto a Corgan; volvió a abandonar la banda en marzo de 2009. En 2018 vuelve a reagruparse Smashing Pumpkins, con Jimmy Chamberlin en batería.
