Doesn't it seem like all members, including Corgan are looking for an alt revenue stream?
corgan gets album royalties for all past albums, for oceania his songwriting portion of the royalties means he gets a lot more then everyone else (even if the sales were pathetic). Touring he's the only one who's getting a cut of the merch sales, and I wouldn't be surprised if everyone is on fixed salary regardless of festival or mini show.... Being in SP is an opportunity!!!!!!
mike obviously made more money with SP then he would have flipping burgers but that's not the point (even if it is billy's hand)

That being said, Corgan had us all almost convinced that he really did consider the Billy, Jeff, Mike, and Nicole lineup to be a real band.
what on earth are you trying to say

No he just likes to get "exclusives" or whatever, so we joke about exclusives on twitter.

Yep, you did.

I don't know how they came out with the orb-thingy Oceania tour financially, but touring all over Europe with the pyramid visuals and lighting show for the Shamrocks and Shenanigans tour wasn't worth the effort, financially.
So I don't see how Mike would have come out of that loaded.
But he got to travel all over the world, played in front of the biggest audiences at festivals and overall got a lot of touring practice and routine. So if he drops the Bearcubbin hobby and can sign up as touring drummer for whatever band that suits his drumming style better than the SP Greatest Hits catalog did, he'll profit from that.

Sometimes, monte mythology is better than the real thing. But he does use "exclusive" if someone does an interview with him, even if that person is constantly doing them and doesn't even provide any new info.

It is exclusive to him because he got it and you didn't, which is why I joke that tweets are excloooosivs.

Exclusive = I'm first

If they are out of the band, they are not saying and are still using their SP connection to keep fans interested in their side projects. They know that fans will try to impress them with loyalty to get close to them and therefore get close to Billy. This enables them to ask fans for favours and money.

For instance, Mike byrne supposedly does not follow corgan or sp any longer on twitter, yet keeps his sp drummer title on his twitter along with the website.

If they're under a contract, they probably have to officially be released from it before making public statements stating they're out

why not use the band affiliation to whatever gain he can get from it?

"Why"?

I what is happening. There is nothing conclusive that they are A) currently under contract, or B) out of a contract or the band or whatever.

All we have is a Miley type twitter break up + no bday wishes and so we are gossiping. Quit ruining our fun.

Perhaps this is the most dynamic thing we have seen the Pumpkins do since Jimmy would come out and play guitar on 1979 or in the small clip during Mayonnaise in Vieuphoria where we see Billy playing drums and later he would play the timpani in 2008.

In Prague, the Smashing Pumpkins showed just how dynamic they could be by having Nicole take over drums, Jeff play bass and Mike on keys when you played To Sheila for the first time on this tour. What inspired this arrangement? - MonteLDS

here's the thing you guys, it's probably over for this lineup but bill wants to still pretend sp is a real band and he's going to go in his cave and have a good cry and his old bandmates are going to make records that get dissed on pitchfork and vanish into oblivion and that's just all there is to it

why bother finding new band mates you don't let participate in the creative process when you can just hire some goons for a tour
