Oh well, at least he inferred that he wants other people to record with him  |
i think it's healthy to recognize the other musicians in the band for what they are. they may love the songs and the band, and certainly seem to do their best in all respects in order to help the band continue in a live setting, but i'm glad that billy isn't giving in to any kind of pressures to make jeff, ginger or lisa "official" members.
i think that billy and jimmy are making the best of the situation. being open to using other musicians to further the music should be a good thing. sure, it doesn't keep the cozy idea of a "band" in the defined sense of the word, but hopefully they will do what is best for the music, not the image of the smashing pumpkins.
