Smashing Pumpkins New Bassist Was One of the Siamese Dream Cover Girls

(Gibson) Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan has revealed that the band's current bassist is also one of the two girls pictured on the cover of their album, Siamese Dream. While it is not uncommon for band members to appear on the covers of their albums, it is strange when it happens more than a decade before they join the band.

Nicole Fiorentino, now 31, was about 13 when Siamese Dream came out in 1993, according to NME.com. Although she became a member of the Pumpkins last year, she just told Corgan of her cover girl past.

"Just found out the weirdest news: our bass player Nicole just admitted she is one of the girls on the cover of 'Siamese Dream,'" Corgan posted on his Twitter account. He said that Fiorentino didn't reveal her history because "she thought maybe we wouldn't let her be in the band." more on this story
