My problem isn't really with Mike Byrne...I know fuck all about him except for those youtube clips. It's more of the suspicion created by the circumstances that 42 year old rock veteran would pick a very inexperienced 19 year old for such a position surely better suited to peers of similar musical maturity (not the same thing as technical skill) and experience. Aside from Billy, Jimmy was almost certainly the most musically experienced, skilled and technically proficient (not to mention oldest) member of the band. It's easy to see why this choice looks a bit strange. It's almost as if Billy either doesn't want or couldn't get one of his actual peers in music to join him. And yeah you must be trying to assert your fan LEETness or superiority of age or something with the cheap Guitar Hero remark...considering that I own real instruments but have never graced a virtual fretboard (nor do I desire to ever do so) in my life. Are you going to try and insist that I was still in diapers when SP1 was around next? |

Hey sorry, I fell asleep reading your bullshit response. The whole point of getting a new drummer is making a new sound for the band and the songs he is putting together. And no, I'm not sitting here acting as tho I'm an ancient pumpkins fan because I really could give a fuck less how "old" you think I am. If you have "real" instruments then good for you. Learn how to play them so you can recognize good talent. Mike Byrne = excellent drummer. (also cheap labor! lol!) |

The Facts
I find it hilarious that there are all these bitter pumpkin fans that are pissed because a 19 year old...a damn gifted 19 year old made it into what apparently was one of your favorite bands or is your favorite band. What I don't get is you can sit here with a couple of youtube videos of Mike drumming and just say "yep, I've seen enough BC is a fuck up this was the straw that broke the camels back I swear I'll never buy another SP album!" A bunch of pathetic, resentful jealous chuckle heads that just wish it was some other celebrity stand in drummer because...what they are already in the business? If you were paying attention Billy auditioned a bunch of famous drummers and guess what??? Those drummers were beat out by a 19 year old (John Dolyman if you were wondering plays a fuck of a lot louder than Mike in reference to these fucking silly Bam Bam posts) I know because I rehearse at the same rehearsal studios Mike does and I recently had the pleasure of working with him on a couple of songs with my band The Mercury Tree; Mikes first band. He is a phenomenal drummer and has devoted his life to music and you're pissed because he is getting the opportunity of a lifetime. Fucking petty, bitter. It really says something about the kind of people that have been posting on this thread about 90% of you. There have been a couple people telling you to give the guy a chance. Do one of you have an audio of video recording of Mike playing with the pumpkins...I thought not.
Wait for September. Continue being the supportive fans you should be or else why would you be here? Give him a chance he WILL NOT let The Pumpkins down. Last edited by mercbass : 08-19-2009 at 12:40 AM. |

No, no Mike. The lack of validity stands, however you've reinforced it with poor grammar. Hit up your local community college for a course between tours. I do hope that Corgan is paying you enough for a course or two.
Then again, probably not. I would be happy to help you start up a collection fund. I'm in for 15. |

I find it quite pretentious of you to start telling who should be here and who shouldn't, in your very first post. Who the hell do you think you are? And where the fuck do you think you are? You want the truth? You can't handle the truth. This is Netphoria. |

So I jump on this forum because a friend of mine is being bad mouthed on these forums and I get nothing but ridiculed. It sounds as if not all of you but a few of you are in denial yourselves. Go ahead and hate, hate, hate. Can you blame me for never posting on this retarded thread? I actually know the guy. You don't want to know the truth so I won't say anything else. So you'll sit there for hours (some of you) and figure out how you gonna get one up on me on some second rate thread I only subscribed to because Mike deserves a chance. That is all.

see, this is why BC should have not even considered hiring someone so young.. his teenage fans (possibly him) can only handle criticism as any normal teenanger would, and the fans are left to put up with these ranty posts about how fucking bitter we are.
yes, we're bitter. because the greatest possible drummer possible for this band has left and has been replaced by someone whom we suspect can't cut it. but that's besides the point. your buddy has entered a group that has been/still is the the target of very harsh criticism. read the latest pitchfork article on this announcement, they rip on his age. he's going to receive a huge load of nasty comments from all over that he's just going to have to deal with, that's part of his profession. and not just from fans. he's taking on a huge, huge job. even the fans at the completely apologetic fan sites (the ones that consistently praise Billy, no matter what) are scratching their heads over this move. he's just going to have to be prepared for this part of it. I'm sure he'll get praise. ugh. this is fucking 2005 linda strawberry shit all over again, except it's coming from the drummers chair of this band, the one area of this band that had some fucking dignity and class left. Now we have to put up with this teenage emotional retaliation bullshit?? play some god damn music! |
