It's easy to forget now, but all people ever talked about from about 96-98 was Billy's bald head. It was something always addressed in interviews and radio features... It probably pissed Billy off to no end and as we all know the bald head was simply a cover for his rapidly increasing hair-loss.
The Adore touring bands image was simply a tongue and cheek response to all of the previous hysteria... I assume Billy's mindset was something like "Oh yeah? It's a big deal that I'm bald is it? Here, get a load of Smashing Pumpkins now"
