Arrow james and billy debate

I am always hearing about how james and billy hate each others guts and that was one of the causes of the sp breakup. but is it true. do they really hate each other. or are they just going seperate ways. i mean james said to be that much into music anymore is sad. and he's so serious about fasion now. as if thats any better. but i heard billy say once a few weeks before the break up announcement that "james is doing great and is in love and he is my best friend."

do you happen to remember when/where he said that? I'm just curious.

In the 11/28/00 interview, Billy said something about how Jimmy and him are closely connected musically, and he's never had such a close musical connection with anyone in his life. I couldn't help but feel bad for James when I heard him say that. http://www.netphoria.org/wwwboard/frown.gif

Oh wait sorry, I thought the topic was D'arcy and James hate each other. As for Billy and James I don't really know, obviously they had some problems in the Siamese Dream era, but other then that, I'm not sure.

Billy and Jimmy are more alike I think. In the 11/28/00 interview Billy was saying James and Melissa called all the practicing they were doing "torture", but Billy and Jimmy enjoy it.

James said it was Billy driving the breakup, but that he was more than willing to keep going if Billy wanted to. So . . . whatever. WTF?

It's a shame James didn't use more of his own stuff for the Pumpkins. I'm sure Billy would've put a hell of a solo in Country Girl.

This might be because his songs and voice sucked.

Well, his songs sucked for sure. And he didn't get much creative input because it wasn't his band. And the stuff he did write just didn't work for the Pumpkins.

i think when billy and james sexual conduct or contact connection ended it was kind of awkward for them to be around each other. espeacially when james and yelena caught billy with jimmy at the 4-44-00 concert on yelenas birthday. thats when all the shit started to happen shortly after that the breakup announcement was announced.

Presto. IMO blew away is great, but you could definitly take out every other 'james only' track from the pumpkins catalogue without getting me to flinch. I would actually be all for that.

Billy Corgan buys a piece of the Gold Coast

Ten months after selling his Victorian painted lady mansion in Lake View for $1 million, former Smashing Pumpkins lead singer and chief songwriter Billy Corgan has paid $2.95 million for a recently renovated, historic six-room condominium on the Gold Coast.

After disbanding the Smashing Pumpkins, Corgan formed a new group, Zwan, which is playing three sold-out shows at the Double Door this weekend.

Through his tour manager, Corgan declined to comment on the purchase of the two-bedroom condo. His tour manager confirmed that the singer-songwriter recently has been staying at the condo while rehearsing for Zwan's current tour, but said the Chicago-area native ultimately intends to lease the condo in a 110-year-old building to someone else. The unit has an oak-paneled living room, reception room, balcony framed by granite columns, four fireplaces, walnut parquet floors and a large terrace.

Corgan has shown an affinity for vintage properties. After moving out of the more than 100-year-old Lake View home at 3448 N. Greenview Ave., which he owned from 1993 to 2001, Corgan temporarily stayed in a penthouse in the Haberdasher Square loft development, 728 W. Jackson Blvd., a former manufacturing building that dates to 1926. And in 2000, the Landmarks Preservation Council of Illinois awarded Corgan its President's Award for his commitment to historic preservation.

Since Corgan sold his Lake View home, one Smashing Pumpkins Web site reported that he has been living in Italy, but in interviews he has declined any comment on his permanent residence.

Singer Courtney Love, whom Corgan dated many years ago, just sold her loft in downtown Manhattan for $3 million after buying it for $2.6 million in January 2001, according to the New York Post. The loft is in the same building where rocker Lenny Kravitz just listed his own, five-bedroom, 7,000-square-foot, multilevel loft for $16 million, after buying the space unfinished in October 2000 for $8 million, the Post reported.

Love also recently listed her almost 3,700-square-foot Spanish-style house on Los Angeles' Westside -- which she bought last June for $3 million -- for about the same price, according to the Los Angeles Times. Love reportedly is looking for another house in the area because her five-bedroom house, which was built in the 1920s, is too small.

Ironically, Love told the Times last year that she sold a four-bedroom, 4,700-square-foot French country-style house on almost 2 acres in the Hollywood Hills -- which she had purchased from Ellen DeGeneres in 1997 for about $3 million -- because she was planning to spend more time in New York and actually wanted something smaller in L.A. She sold the Hollywood Hills home for $3.995 million in March 2001 to British businessman Mike Walley. Love's former Hollywood Hills house made the news in November 2001, after Paul McCartney's fellow Beatle George Harrison died. After Harrison's representatives gave a bogus L.A. address on his death certificate, the county's district attorney revealed in February that Harrison actually had died at Walley's house.

Rocker Tom Petty has paid close to $2.5 million for a three-bedroom oceanfront home in Malibu, Calif., according to the Los Angeles Times. Built in 1974, the house has three fireplaces, Malibu tiles and a courtyard with a fountain, the paper reported ... Fred Durst, frontman for the rock group Limp Bizkit, has sold a house he never moved into in Bel Air, Calif., for $3.7 million because it had "vibes that were not quite correct for him," according to the Los Angeles Times. Last fall, Durst bought the four-bedroom, 6,600-square-foot house, which was once owned by the Doors' Robbie Krieger and has a carving of the Doors playing on one wall, for just under $4 million, the paper reported. Durst recently bought a house with a sound studio in L.A.'s Hollywood Hills, and has listed that home for $1.4 million, the Times reported.
