During the Gish tour, tensions between bandmembers began to escalate, as Iha and D'Arcy, who had been lovers, went through a messy breakup, Chamberlin became addicted to drugs and alcohol, and Corgan entered a heavy depression.
These tensions hadn't been resolved by the time the group entered the studio with Vig to record its second album.
Toward the beginning of the sessions, the Pumpkins were given significant exposure through the inclusion of "Drown" on the Singles soundtrack in the summer of As the sessions progressed, Corgan relieved himself of his depression by working heavily -- not only did he write a surplus of songs, he played nearly all of the guitars and bass on each recording, which meant that its release was delayed several times.
The resulting album, Siamese Dream, was an immaculate production owing much to Queen, yet it was embraced by critics upon its July release. Siamese Dream became a blockbuster, debuting at number ten on the charts and establishing Smashing Pumpkins as stars. Smashing Pumpkins became the headliners of Lollapalooza , and following the tour's completion, the band went back into the studio to record a new album that Corgan had already claimed would be a double-disc set.
To tide fans over until the new album, the Pumpkins released the B-sides and rarities album Pisces Iscariot in October Working with producers Flood and Alan Moulder, Smashing Pumpkins recorded as a full band for their third album, which turned out to be, as Corgan predicted, a double-disc set called Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
Although many observers were skeptical about whether a double-disc set, especially one so ridiculously named, would be a commercial success, Mellon Collie became an even bigger hit than Siamese Dream, debuting at number one on the charts.
On the strength of the singles "Bullet with Butterfly Wings," "," "Zero," and "Tonight, Tonight," it sold over four million copies in the U. The Pumpkins had graduated to stadium shows for the Mellon Collie tour, and the band was at the peak of its popularity when things began to go wrong again. On July 12, prior to two shows at Madison Square Garden, the group's touring keyboardist, Jonathan Melvoin, died from a heroin overdose; he was with Jimmy Chamberlin, who survived his overdose.
In the wake of the tragedy, the remaining Pumpkins fired Chamberlin and spent two months on hiatus as they recovered and searched for a new drummer.
Early in August, they announced that Filter member Matt Walker would be their touring drummer, and Dennis Flemion, a member of the Frogs, would be their touring keyboardist for the remainder of the year. They returned to the stage at the end of August and spent the next five months on tour.
During this time, Corgan contributed some music to Ron Howard's Ransom. Several months later, Corgan announced his intentions to dissolve the band before the year was out. With former Hole bassist Melissa auf der Maur replacing D'Arcy, the band launched its farewell tour in Surprisingly, Virgin Records balked at the idea of releasing the track set so close in time to their previous album, so the band put the entire album going by the official title of Machina II: The Friends and Enemies of Modern Music on the Internet for fans to download for free.
On December 2 of the same year, the Pumpkins played a mammoth final show at Chicago's Metro also the venue at which the group played its first show back in before officially calling it quits. But the former members of the band didn't wait long before carrying on with other projects -- Corgan spent the summer of playing guitar with New Order on select concert dates, and later in the year unveiled his new band, Zwan, including Chamberlin on drums as well as former Chavez guitarist Matt Sweeney and bassist David "Skullfisher" Pajo.
The other two former Pumpkins, Iha and auf der Maur, began putting together an alt-rock supergroup dubbed the Virgins. The same year, a pair of postmortem Pumpkins collections were issued for the holiday season -- a double-disc collection and a DVD, both called Greatest Hits.
Corgan released his first solo album, The Future Embrace, in , and on the day it came out, he took out a full-page ad in The Chicago Tribune to announce that Smashing Pumpkins were reuniting. He hadn't informed any of his past bandmates, and only Chamberlin went along. Zeitgeist, a heavier album than any past Pumpkins album, was released in Smashing Pumpkins promoted the album heavily well into , but at the end of the year Corgan announced that the group would no longer record albums, and instead would only issue singles.
It wasn't the only change in the band. Corgan announced the departure of Chamberlin in March and, after a brief dalliance in the psychedelic side project Spirits in the Sky, the guitarist followed through on his promise to issue only short-form releases by putting out the EP Teargarden by Kaleidyscope in December of The new Pumpkins lineup shifted in and the second installment in the Teargarden by Kaleidyscope series appeared late in the year.
