I also have seen Lisa and Ginger. It was Ginger and her new hubby :)

So i am here in davenport. and billy came up smiled and talked to me. he laughed about talking to me because he said anything you say to you will be in quotes

I gave him copies of my July 15th and 31st DVD. He thought the cover was really cool (good job GDS)

So he told me the following thing

The Fillmore DVD will be 3 discs and there will be a HD (blu-ray) release.
the dvd was done a few weeks ago and that the whole thing is going be very interesting.
The DVD / BLU-RAY will have the following songs from the July 31st show
The rose march, (he might of said peace and love), 99 Floors, Starla, Gossamer

He talked about the release of G.L.O.W. and how it will be hard to release it on CD here in the US. But said it wasn't set in stone that G.L.O.W. will only be an import

I then asked Davin question of what does it sound like. Billy laughed and said i'll tell you a lie. its going be an hour long song of me whinnying about things to 1 synth.

He talked a lot about the music business and owning the rights to recordings. and how Landslide was recorded on a used tape and as long as that song makes money the BBC makes money

He wanted to record something here in the Davenport / Rock Island area but there was an issue of "ownership". The release was going be for free, but at 41 he won't be able to just give ownership away. The recording place would have ownership.

Ends up Billy thinks Redding was the BEST superchrist.

He asked if i was going stick around and listen thru the cracks in the wall. I told him You know it! he laughed. And i said I got to know if you will play bullet. And he said laughing "ya, for the 450th time"

this is my pic of Billy

<img src="http://img362.imageshack.us/img362/2673/img00010dd9.jpg">

o ya he he just went to the antique store just a few mins ago

hahaha i just recalled Billy said he just bought a Dodge Charger and then once again confirmed that Linda Strawberry bf did do the editing for the DVD

i keep recalling stuff.. and yes its about the record companies

he said that the record companies are now taking money from sales @ the concerts such as t-shirts and posters.

He said they have not found a record company they have wanted to work with yet.

Jimmy just showed up! All of these guys have Blackberry Curves

Billy said that it was impossible to find glass bottle water in Iowa.

he bought a new hat. picture coming soon.

I just saw Jeff leave with billy. and now the rest of the band is taking off.

an insider told me they sound checked gossamer. the band is really happy!

more insider info: SP fans who want to hear "Today" are supposedly going be scared at this show

Another insider info: smashing pumpkins Pastichio Melody (listen to it, and you might hear a riff used in G.L.O.W.)
**NOTE** after hearing G.L.O.W. myself i would say this person is most likely wrong

no way, he's right about this one.

every time i see a lengthy report about someone who talked with billy corgan for a while, it always, <i>always</i> comes back to him bitching about "the music industry."

Great stuff, Monte. I for one am interested about record company stuff. Labels make money from band merch? Messed up. I always thought that if I wanted to support a band, I could buy t-shirts etc. and that way guarantee they benefit from my fandom instead of their label.

Keep us posted!

08-07-2008, 02:22 PM
I doubt there's any Pastichio Medley riff in G.L.O.W. It'd be very unlike Billy to dig up an old demo instead of starting the song from scratch. Plus, those Pastichio riffs are about 13-14 years old.

It'd be cool though. The Viper.. *drool*

a quote was issued on sp.com that said they were going to record for a multi-release, multi-year "concept" album. i wanted to know if concept was used to mean the album was like a Machina or Ziggy Stardust deal or if the "multi-release, multi-year" part is the concept

one other question monte (bold so maybe it will be easier to see)


if he's still there and you're looking for things to ask, ask him if he has anything new to say about the 20th anniversary shows this fall/winter. is it just NY/Chicago/LA or multiple states and if it's just those three will there be multiple dates or is it like a one date/one state thing?

tell billy that he should play 'psychodelic' even though he will say 'we don't know how to play that' because the tone of the song and lead totally reinforce this incarnation of the bands style, especially the delay/reverb solo's ala Billy doing his Starla solo or Jeff doing his GATGC spacey stuff. jk - you don't have to ask him to play, but that is my opinion of psychodelic!

the problem is they block out some of the hard hitters which, in my opinion, are the questions billy corgan needs to face most.

This new incarnation of the O-Site has been a lot better at dealing with criticism than the old one. They seem to be allowing tougher questions to be asked than before. Before, if you weren't praising the band or asking softball questions, no way were you going to get through. You were more likely to get banned in fact. I mean, they even let someone ask Jeff if Billy is really all that hard to work with. Back in the day, it would have been "How great is it working for the wonderful Mr. Corgan?" instead of "Is Billy really a big douche to work with like everyone else says?".

edit: Ideally, it would be great if Billy would post here and answer everybody's unfiltered questions, but it's probably never going to happen.

Floppy Nono
08-07-2008, 05:40 PM
but they didn't ask him if he's a real memeber of the band or just touring for now or if he'll ever record. these questions hold potentially more damning answers. these are the ones that need to be asked, not if jeff likes billy but what his status with the band is and if he's comfortable with it.

explain to me how nin, a completely independent act outshined kanye west, a record label unit shifter at the biggest music festival of the year. nonetheless TWO independent acts (well radiohead is 50% independent) took over lollapalooza.

now explain to me how radiohead and nin massively sell out arenas still and headline lollapalooza, while sp backed by a major label can't sell out mid-level venues. they all three attract the same audience.

uhhh maybe because radiohead and nin don't suck right now.

got a lot of tears
in a blood-stained jar
been a real long time
since i walk the fine line

you set up the walls
you set up the walls
hold all my calls
i'll be by the pool

won't you please
talk to me
won't you love
what i love

all alone
in my soul
i betrayed
my rock and roll
my rock and roll
my rock and roll
my rock and roll
my rock and roll
