Billy didn't seem like he cared much at all actually.

this is no different, except its with different people. i'm sure one of the new pumpkins will play a part or two in the studio, but mainly they're there for the live shows (not to mention music videos, photo-ops, ect) and if they want to leave or whatever, then another competent musician will take his or her place.
i think people don't really understand the dynamics of the band.

Even if they didn't end up playing anything in the studio.. i'm sure they contributed something because they weren't scared to tell billy that what hes playing sucks in contrast with the newer members who think that everything that comes forth from his mouth is like the word of god
