Default How could The Smashing Pumpkins even redeem themselves?

Release an amazing record? Release a masterpiece? Would that even be enough?

I'd say so. A return to form and a tour, and I'd happily forget all the bullshit

It's not "the sp" that needs redeemed, the true sp is unimpeachable

It's bill needs it

Poor bill

when the machina mystery is revealed, the obelisks which came with the teargarden EPs will guide the owners of the true original copies of Machina II on vinyl to the tower on the front of Oceania. The vinyl discs will be placed in a circle and the tower will become a time portal. The liner notes of PI will be read aloud except this time they seem to make sense. It's a magically encrypted letter from future Billy Corgan with explicit instructions for the brave time travelers. They go through the portal and on the night of Dec. 2, 2000, as the last notes of Silverfuck die, shots ring out from the balcony of the metro. A sniper takes off. Billy Corgan collapses on stage. "Is it bad, James?" he asks as he reaches up and holds Iha's boylike face. "No, just a scratch. Hang in there Billy, help will be here any second." Billy motions for James to bring his ear close as he wheezes violently on aspirated blood. "I'm sorry for everything... Tell D'arcy.... she was right....."

At this point I'm just happy when I find out Billy somehow wasn't involved in things like charging people thousands for a concert then trapping them all on a tropical island.

Billy Corgan ≠ The Smashing Pumpkins


Billy needs to open himself to collaboration. Fans place value in the personnel in a band. He seriously needs to work with a lyricist to open his bandwidth so he can focus his time and energy on composing and recording quality music.

Having James and Jimmy back in the band as contributing members would be a huge help. Idk if that's on the radar or not, but that would be a major step in the right direction.

Honestly, if he could just stop singing with all that horrible, horrible vibrato, it'd improve he music 1000 times over.

The only way Billy can redeem the band is by making the Smashing Pumpkins = Billy, James, D'arcy, and Jimmy.

*and I'll add: that the primary goal for the band shouldn't be to chase their former glory, but rather just play a few shows, record a few tunes, and nurture their chemistry.

Actually on second thought releasing the metro dvd would really help.

And bElli could always commit seppuku. That wouldn't hurt.

The worst thing about SP2+ is Billy Corgan's opinions and attitude. The rest is already forgotten.

"time machine" is a misnomer, it's more like a magic portal

He can't. Reuniting the original line-up might feel nice for a while, but the damage has been done. At best, he'll do a surprisingly ok acoustic-ish solo album eventually.
