Billy Corgan (Vocals, Lead Guitar), Jimmy Chamberlin (Drums), James Iha (Guitar), D'Arcy Wretsky (Bass) .... Drummer Jimmy Chamberlin was fired by the band in mid 1997 for drug abuse and later returned in 1999

D'Arcy Wretsky quit the band after touring in 1999 and was replaced by Basses Melissa Auf De Maur (formerly of Hole) the following year, the band would later call it quits in Chicago December 2000

After reforming in 2007, the lineup include original members Billy and
Jimmy, plus new guitarist Jeff Schroeder and bassist Ginger Reyes.,

The Pumpkins won many awards during their careers, went on several major tours,
appeared on a few movie soundtracks, and released a huge number of songs in a
