The Smashing Pumpkins' next guitarist could be you.
The rock band revealed on Instagram Tuesday that it has received more than 10,000 submissions for its open guitarist position. "Currently, there are 8 people working full-time to review each and every one," the post said.
This comes less than two weeks after Smashing Pumpkins announced it is searching for an additional guitarist to join the band.
In October, Jeff Schroeder, who joined Smashing Pumpkins as a guitarist in 2007, announced he was leaving the band. At the time, he recalled that he had "no idea what I was getting into" when he joined Smashing Pumpkins more than a decade earlier and "was at UCLA working on my doctorate in comparative literature when a close friend messaged me and said the Smashing Pumpkins were looking for a guitar player.
"Being a huge fan of the band, the audition was something I threw myself into," Schroeder wrote on Instagram. "It was one of the best decisions I've made in my life. The amount of incredible memories created over the last 16 years with the band are almost too numerous to quantify."
Schroeder added that he decided to leave "to make some space to explore a slightly different path."
The band thanked him "for his ceaseless dedication," adding, "Words can not express our gratitude and appreciation for the friend he is, and being there for SP in the good times and the tough times, too."
The application process was opened to anyone interested. Applicants could submit a resume and any related materials to [email protected].
Smashing Pumpkins was formed in 1988 and is currently composed of frontman Billy Corgan, guitarist James Iha and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin. The band has a tour set to kick off in the United Kingdom in June and will also be joiningGreen Day on tour starting in July.
