In 1988 The Smashing Pumpkins were looking for a live drummer to open a show at the Metro. Chamberlin and Billy Corgan met through a mutual friend, and Chamberlin expressed cautious interest: "I went out and saw the band – Billy, James, and D'arcy – playing at Avalon with a drum machine. Man, did they sound horrible! They were atrocious. But the thing I noticed was that not only were the song structures good, but Billy's voice had a lot of drive to it, like he was dying to succeed. So I ended up driving from work every Wednesday to rehearse with them." Corgan had his own concerns: "He was wearing a pink t-shirt, stonewashed jeans, he had a mullet haircut, and he was driving a 280Z, and had yellow drums. We were sort of looking each other in the eye thinking, 'This ain't gonna happen, this is not the guy.' [But] he learned all our songs, as only Jimmy can, off the top of his head and within one practice we were ready to play. It was amazing. He's that good." Corgan later said "He's up there with Bonham … I think, pound for pound, he's the best drummer in the world." | In 1988 The Smashing Pumpkins were looking for a live drummer to open a show at the Metro.
