Default Can you imagine a Pumpkins tour with Jimmy and James rolled out in a lamer way?

I mean honestly...

NOSTALGIA CENTRAL!!! I'm sitting watching a little basketball and every commercial break: "THE SHINNNNNNNNNNYYYY AND OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SO BRIGHT TOUR" ***insert video clips of Billy rocking out with flowing long hair***

Makes me feel kinda grimy.

Why can't Bildo do anything with a semblance of integrity?

BILLY CORGAN......

JAMES IHA!!!!!.......

JEFF SHROEDER

And shame on B0lly for advertising Jeff in front of Jimmy Chamberlin... That is some straight up bullshit. I know it's "in alphabetical order"... But list the original lineup first you bald asshole

"Come out to see THE SHINY AND OHH SO BRIGHT TOUR "

***don't show any video footage within the past 23 years on the promo***

Honestly... I haven't seen even oldies bands try a stunt like that... Even with GnR, it was all semi-current footage shown on the advert.

COME OUT AND SEE SMASHING PUMPKINS ON THEIR BRAND-NEW TOUR

***showcase a bunch of clips from 25 years ago***

Does no one else see the hilarity in that?

The commercials are aimed at the parents who moved on with life after the 90's ended and are zoned out watching whatever sports playoffs, not the forty retards on a message board who are familar with eighteen years of anecdotes about shit no sane person cares about in 2018.

They know nobody gives a shit about anything after 1999. This is an oldies band now.

No shit? from different sources?

Do share!

I looked over google for other mentions and couldn't find anything.... Started to feel a sense of relief.

A) It's a rumor because Billy has decided to take a different tack from the bashing and say, "hey, they must be doing something right" and got spun into the Corgan Loves Nickelback headline, which is false. (We might not like his ego but their is a disinformation machine out to get him because he dares to speak his mind)

B) It's true and this is a sad cash grab that will anger fans because SP fans don't like Nickelback, but mainstream waterhead new country music douchebags do and those people buy tickets, merch, and CDs.

We are we are we are so young, we're young we're young.

Seriously though, could BC have come up with a worse sounding tour name? Dude quit making little ironic jokes with yourself and actually promote yourself if you don't want people to laugh at you.

holy cow at least it goes with the overall SP marketing rule - break every rule there is, from a yearly changing font of even the band name (which cracks me up every time I see it, isn't the "brand" important to him? - that's branding 101 kindergarten level, you don't change the main font) to total design mishmash to amateur clip editing. nice!

It is a pretty cool clip. And then I snap out of it and remember that Billy sucks and can't sing anymore.

This kind of goes against your main thesis. Which is it, lame or pretty cool?

Let's just say it would have got me pumped up if I somehow had my recent memory wiped and completely forgot that the Pumpkins existed for the past 20 years.

You hear a clip with BWBW and think Billy can't sing anymore? He's come a long way since then
