SMASHING PUMPKINS' BATTLING BASSISTS

JANE'S ADDICTION rocker ERIC AVERY is competing with MELISSA AUF DER MAUR to play bass in the reformed SMASHING PUMPKINS.
Frontman BILLY CORGAN and drummer JIMMY CHAMBERLAIN are officially back on board and auditioning for the third member.
Avery has been spotted rehearsing with the rock pair, but Auf Der Maur - who replaced original bassist D'ARCY WRETZKY when she quit in 1999 - wants her place back.
The Pumpkins' management tell MTV that Avery "has been rehearsing with (the band) in their pre-production of the new record, but nothing (has been) confirmed in regards to (Avery joining the Pumpkins)".

Yeah MADM knows her solo albums suck!!!!!!!!!

MisterSquishyHalo · 06-13-2006, 12:08 PM

Can one or the other play guitar?

If you are not going to have James back..slide over avery..and let MADM be the bassist.

I think a lot of people are getting confused how this board works. Mods do not jump as you whistle, it's the other way round. I am probably too benevolent.

tcm · 06-13-2006, 12:41 PM

i have no idea what you're saying. i said please, didn't i?

It would be awesome if Corgan got serious musicians on board instead of grunge pinup rejects.

topleybird · 06-13-2006, 12:56 PM

Can't anyone else see where this is going

See if you can follow me here, I know it's uncharted territory

Two bassists simultaneously

Cherub Angel · 06-13-2006, 01:02 PM

unless there is a current quote specifically from Melissa on how she's battling for her place, I'm going to take this as speculation that there's a feud.

Joe_2 · 06-13-2006, 01:04 PM

I would have expected Billy to choose Melissa over Eric, but then again, who knows?

SpeedOfPain · 06-13-2006, 01:14 PM

Melissa gives bad head, why you think zwan broke up billy got no head from paz! Jelous of davie

SpeedOfPain · 06-13-2006, 01:18 PM

you are correct.

Once the Avery "rumor/news" started spreading around to mass media sources, they instantly made an assumption that melissa and avery were fighting for the bass spot, simply based on the previous article where melissa said she would help if billy needed her help. Basically, MTV news reported the Avery "rumor/news" abotu 4 or 5 days after it was on Netphoria...and then 3 articles popped up from different news sources with this "competing" crap.

Fact is, Melissa is busy finishing up her own 2nd album and will then be busy taking hot picures and touring to support it.

tcm · 06-13-2006, 01:41 PM

Cherub Angel and davin, Netphoria's voices of reason.

billy has always complained about needing more bass.

davin · 06-13-2006, 01:43 PM

maybe billy should play his guitar with bass pickups, like scott lucas from local h does. then he can play both....so there would be 1.5 bassists and 1.5 guitarists.

rah rah, sis boom bah

i put it much more succinctly in the original thread, however. too bad it didn't get merged, i guess.

Shapan · 06-13-2006, 01:53 PM

id prefer melissa, but i dont know how her on her own crap wont clash with pumpkins stuff.

im not in a rush to listen to jane's addiction to hear this avery guy.

im waiting to see some quotes from the pumpkins or prospective pumpkins themselves to consider it news.

yes, but only IF she was asked (which implies she wasn't. and besides, she's got her new album to worry about.)

tcm -- sorry i missed your post. i guess it was purged before it could be merged, when the duplicate threads surged.

tcm · 06-13-2006, 02:26 PM

right, it was months ago, and she just said that she'd be willing if they needed her, not that she was desperate to get in and would crush all opponents who'd stand in her way.
