Monte - "Smashing Pumpkins seem to be recentering themselves"
 
Quote:

Late last night the Smashing Pumpkins social media changed to the traditional SP black and white logo. They then posted the Infamous Madison Square Garden poster from 1996.
Now SmashingPumpkins.com is back up no longer forwarding to SmashingPumpkinsNexsus.com, but that site is still running.
Seems like something BIG is coming soon.

TIMPANI TOUR 2018

Most of the time it has been prompters who help sponsor the show,

Ram27 07-20-2017 03:20 PM

I emailed him about the selling of gear and its defiantly nothing to do with the need of money.

I would pay money to watch videos of the first rehearsal. It would be as awkward as that Pixies documentary that came out around the time they reunited in 2004. What if he asks the reunited band to play post-2000 stuff?

Can you imagine it, Billy walks in:

"Hey guys, you cannot believe how excited I am for this tour! D'arcy did you happen to get the progression down for Widow Wake My Mind? Jimmy, do you think you can handle the drums on Quasar?"

Here James I wrote a solo album for you.

"James, I think I ought to handle the lead parts on 'One Diamond, One Heart.' Can you start with the rhythm section of the bridge right now?"

"One Diamond… you'll have to refresh my memory. Which album did we record that on again?"

"Oh no, you didn't record it. That's from after you left. It's a newer one."

"Oh, then I don't know it."

"You nev,— what? James, I hate to say it, but I'm kind of taken aback right now. You mean you weren't even keeping up with Smashing Pumpkins releases and practicing the songs all this time? I'm sure tabs are up on UltimateGuitar.com if you couldn't transcribe them by ear."

"Yeah, sorry, I mean, I know I've heard 'Arachnid' on the car radio— no, wait, 'Tarantula'… it was called 'Tarantula.' That one was pretty good. Can we play that?"

"James, everybody has been talking about the new material. You must have been living under a rock. Everybody has heard it."

"I don't know, Billy."

"Jeff, play ODOH. From the bridge."

"Yessiree!"

[Music]

"You see? Everybody… everybody knows it."

I suspect that effort is a cleansing ritual of sorts and it ain't half-bad promo for that niche cult of gear-heads who are general SP fans.

Bread Regal 07-20-2017 09:38 PM

is monte back in the inner circle or is he deluding himself into thinking billy doesn't hate his fucking guts

Bread Regal 07-20-2017 09:39 PM

i mean of all the people that billy has labeled an irredeemable asshole, monte is literally one of the actual few

I'm really excited to see what's gonna happen with the post 2000 stuff. I can't imagine Billy just gracefully not playing those songs. He made every new player learn everything from Gish-current.

Ram27 07-20-2017 11:28 PM

that asheville soundcheck is funny where bill wants to play frail and bedazzled and he has to teach jimmy and jeff which one it was

Dominion 07-21-2017 02:49 PM

I'm genuinely excited about the prospect of something positive coming out of the pumpkins camp... It does seem something 'big' is in the works. I'm feeling positive for a full reunion more each day.. It's been a long time since I was last this psyched about anything SP related. Promising times!

I wish I had taken the time to download that before it got taken down. There were some great moments in there. I remember that one (Billy had to explain to Jimmy which song was "Hello Kitty Kat" and which was "Frail and Bedazzled") and there was also a great moment where Billy uses that pissed off "I can't believe I have to remind you" tone to shout the chord progression to a song ("Crush" I think) at Jeff.

Cool As Ice Cream 07-22-2017 04:18 AM

Wouldn't be surprise to see him play with them at some point during a show...

Kahlo 07-22-2017 05:40 AM

reunion show at MSG with the original line-up.

Fails to sell enough tickets.

Reunion cancelled.

Cool As Ice Cream 07-22-2017 06:00 AM

blames it on the fans

FoolofaTook 07-22-2017 08:11 AM

I just thought of a new billy nickname: b0llzebub

Hmm. Interesting.
