jimmy is and always will be an astounding musician I hope it's clear my critique was about his psyche

This was when I realized we'd never get a good SP album. Knights of Malta is not listenable on the record, but is a totally serviceable ELO track live, it has an ethereal atmosphere missing in just about everything post MACHINA. Clearly Iha was never involved.

Corgan is a dipshit.

Jimmy def came back to synergize the brand not to do a paradigm shift.

So we are entering a phase in which the studio recordings mean nothing.

that whowawhoawahowahwhoa shit on the album track is literally the worst noise i have ever heard in my life on Knights of Malta and of course destroys the entire song.. yeah the live one isn't the worst thing I've ever heard.. but it's also a super cheesy song

I never realised that Home had mellotron on it. No wonder it sounds so good.

Wow these are actually really great. Hope he does vids for all the songs.

What's really interesting is that some of these were tracked right around the time of The Arising, yet D'Arcy still wasn't on them. Maybe she was more MIA than what was lead to believe...

The toms track from the live studio take of Home being “basically worthless” nearly made me cry. They sound fucking magical on Arising! live versions of the song

I have always wondered about his health since he was hospitalized with a blocked artery in 2007. I imagine some doctor has to have told him that he couldn't do 18-month-long tours anymore, nor spend six months in the recording studio. Serious heart issues are also incredibly common in addicts further down the line. He's toned and he looks healthy but he also has the appearance of somebody who is at least partially vegan, and at his age and previous medical history... sorry for speculating

Very easy Google search, yep. They had to postpone a number of dates because of it. Hadn’t heard about the 2012 thing. Angina, maybe? I don’t know, it feels very rude and bad luck to speculate, frankly. I feel terrible even bringing it up because quite honestly Jimmy rules and I would be happy if he were to live healthily and happily forever

remember when a jellyfish stung his eye in florida on the early part of the machina tour?

which created that really unique show at the cat’s cradle in NC the following night.

i wanted out in the rain for several hours with friends trying to get tickets, to no avail

true story, this photo was taken after we got back and showered to warm up and then sat around drinking whiskey:

This. Lol.

I had a jimmy moment in 2015 on that tour, I wasn't particular excited about except that Jimmy was there. I spent 90% of it watching him play and he seemed bored. At one point, he saw me watching him and did this nice quick jimmy fill like, there's something to watch!

I think he was still using in Zwan and maybe he was using with Matt. It's no wonder he's bought all in to the new age/corporate speak the way he has. It makes him money and it helps him cope with addiction.
That's why he constantly backs up Billy any time he can using all the same sort of jargon.

LOl Someone DID a Borat remix of Knights of Malta when it first came out. Idk where it is. Utube?

Yeah I checked it’s on there. I can’t link to it tho.

“ The smashing pumpkins knights of Malta but with borat “ is the title. It’s a hoot!

If you think Billy Corgan to be doing the "Pumpkins Super Fan" account, he must have become a "Wretzky Super Fan" too in the end:
