i can see where you are coming from, but i do make exceptions. the smashing pumpkins' studio work is so layered and intricate that it becomes near impossible to reproduce live short of hiring a boatload of extra musicians (which i have respect for them not doing). it is a huge debate about whether someone can be considered a musician if all they are good at is studio work...like...can they really play? i think the musical vision is what counts, the studio has just made it easier for everyone to get their vision across.
