some bands can't help but want a female figure in the band.
it's unfortunate that the bands identity depends on such a thing and not the people in the band. I actually feel bad for these girls. |

One of those isn't a bassist, she just happens to be a she so that fucks your point right out
Darcy, Melissa, Paz, Ginger, and Nicole are all back up vocalists as well as bassists He hires women because he wants that quality Hiring a second Asian guitarist was creepy though |

you're right her name is nicole, not lisa. lisa was the keyboardist right?
Isn't it weird how twice today you've tried to change the gender issue into one about asian class oppression? |

Let's put it this way: The pixies HAVE TO HAVE a female back-up singer in the band if they're going to continue to play much of their back catalogue... The back-ups are major components in many, many songs. Where as Billy Corgan just constantly hires Female bass players for the sheer image aspect of the band. It's the same reason why Jeffs the 3rd Asian guitarist that he's played with. |

Jezuz Christ.
Ever noticed female back-up vocals on SP tracks? And this whole "he only got Jeff because he looks Asian" is getting lame. It wasn't very original in the first place. |

But comeon, with the Pixies the female vocals are a MAJOR factor... For the Pumpkins- they're not. As for the Asian guitarist thing- You really think it's just an honest coincidence? This is Billy Corgan we're talking about for heavens sake. |

I should have been clearer - of course female vocals are more important in Pixies than in SP. But it's a nice option to have. So if I was looking for a new SP bassist, I'd take a female whose voice isn't shit. No matter what I decide to do at live shows - at least I have the option. And Billy did so with Nicole, a bit too much for my taste. I mean she sang If there is a god... Right now I can't think of any song on the last tour where she didn't sing.
Anyway, I'm curious how long Paz will make it at their touring bassist. The last Kim was gone after what - 3 months? 2? |

NME had a poll where you could vote for the next Pixies bassist, all named Kim. I think Kim Jong-un won.

Paz is a fantastic bassist. I really want to play like her one day (more entrance band style though cause I don't use a pick )
Billy has said that he has wanted to replicate d'arcy's sound and playing style in the band. He said he doesn't think men and women play the same. He also has stated he doesn't want to be in a band of dudes. I don't really count Melissa in this though. I think he put her in the band because she was/is an SP fan and a friend, made sense on paper. I don't think it was about her playing like d'arcy. I do think ginger was supposed to play just like d'arcy though. Although jeff is half asian, I think it is a coincidence that there is another asian dude in the band. Jeff is very different than james, his playing style is more like corgans. I think jeff is also a better guitar player than billy and that's why Billy wanted him. However, I think it is more fun to think of billy choosing them because they are close enough to his old bandmates. "Half korean? You'll do" lol! |

As for Pixies - Kim Shattuck wasn't bad as touring bassist in my book. We'll see how Paz does.

pavementune is a german woman that is slightly mental
fuzzyroses is the canadian equivalent of a "bro" or a "lad" i don't know what that is in Canadia, he likes grunge rock and a local band he was in was better than wire. he also defended monte and then jumped on the bandwagon being mean to him, and he generally still tries to defend people like banana because of political correctness gone MAD ultimate defense of monte: "You guys are jealous that he's hanging out with Bill." |
