He's a sociopath, no doubt about it. All these Insta posts point to it. Hope his album crashes and the post-reunion stuff fails miserably, just to spite his nasty personality. Fuck him

I thought the smashing pumpkins broke up? It’s too bad their drummer died. Does their lead singer still have cancer? That one song they had on mtv was pretty good. That chick who played bass was pretty hot.

I met a guy last month and was telling him about my site, and I brought up that 3/4 of the Pumpkins were on tour and that James Iha was back in the band. I think he got James confused with Jimmy (and Jimmy confused with Jonathan Melvoin), and said he thought James died years ago.

You actually don’t exist in that environment at all Bill as SP haven’t been a mainstream band for 20 years. That construct is in your mind. Maybe you could act like an adult and have some artistic integrity instead of trying to compete with Cardi B or Drake or some other music that plebes and teens listen to nowadays. Lol

He's only competing with his own past nowadays.

Basically he's competing against outselling/out-streaming newbie indie-bands that just had a small breakthrough on whatever Alt. chart Billboard has nowadays. The band is finished in terms of sales, he hasn't had a gold record in 18 years, and a platinum one in 20+
I guess these days, a platinum album would be like getting hundreds upon hundreds of millions of plays? No idea |

It's like he's not even playing the same sport as these guys and somehow still thinks he is competing against them? There's no one to compete against. |

Forgot how the Zeitgeist concept was trying to ride on the wave of American Idiot whilst making no political comment whatsoever.
Billy is a lucky idiot with a talent for guitar and songwriting - whose previous success was derived channelling energy through drugs. Like all great musicians, lots of drugs. Everything else he spoke about outside of that is PR business bullshit. The “abuse” the “suicidal” tendencies, bullshit. He has proven repeatedly to be a dumb egotist and hypocrite who wants to be regarded as this super intelligent, spiritual virtuoso mega star who will be revered like... Bowie or something. He has literally no self-awareness at this point, and he has this laughable passive-aggressive objection to putting out music of the quality of SP1, whilst blaming everyone for not liking the “art” he is producing. His instagram Q&A had him literally telling what few fans the band has to “fuck off” for telling him they like this or that track. This tour and EP is cash grab. Teargarden was a joke. Oceania was a failed retread of SD, MTAE & Shiny just recycling old ideas under new shitty production and creative ethos. Fuck this guy. |

His Q&A was unnecessarily aggressive and reactionary for sure, never mind polarising.
I'm sure he's nice to his friends etc and if you got to know him personally. But he should probably have been nicer to the people who, you know, actually pay him money to hear his music. Like the 1979 guy. Imagine paying money to go to a concert, getting to see said artist outside, and then being more or less told to fuck off because you asked why he didn't play a well-loved song, a song that changed people's lives for the better in some cases? |

Kerry Brown, D'arcy Wretzky, Mike Byrne and Nicole Fiorentino, Emilie Autumn, James Iha... Somehow Courtney Love and Jeff Schroeder seem to be the only people he manages not to alienate.
