I've actually thought about this question a lot. I can't think of any other band with a fall quite like the Pumpkins. I've been a fan since 1992 but because of circumstance I didn't get to see them till 2010. I have seen them every year since then as well. Each passing year was fewer and fewer people till 2015 In Plainsong show. Ever since the reformation Billy has managed to run the ship further into the ground. He had a real chance to revitalize the band during the 07-09 era. I am a big fan of the sets, the performances (musically) and the material (live and studio). His mouth and attitude just ruined it. His thinking and decision making are just bizarre and very self-sabotaging.
