An internet posting for a new guitarist is almost to be expected for Smashing Pumpkins, who are infamous for the line-up’s near-constant state of flux. Jeff Schroeder, the guitarist who joined the band in 2007, departed in October 2023 “to explore a slightly different path.” The group’s most recent project is a rock opera called Atum, released in three parts across 2022 and 2023.
