as for his ig account, i don't follow it. the shit is posted here. and like i said, I DON'T READ IT.

what is wrong with you? seriously?

Not only do you read it... you wake up in the middle of the night to check it again just in case something new popped up. You are the only one on this board that knew how to even submit the Q&A to him.

And if he really did have a medical condition, then you are in the wrong for making fun of him for it.

please quote where i gave advice on how to submit Q&A.

and i'm not making fun of him for it, but i am calling him on his predatory bullshit. something you're incapable of. dick sucking, you got that down, we can all see that.

[Oklahoma Sexual]

sorry slayed23, you're just another BC yes man.

[slayed23]

[Oklahoma Sexual]

yep, you have no facts or rebuttals. wrong on every count thus far. i think we're done here until the next time i feel like calling you out.

thanks.

thanks.

I will use the James' hair comment for example. It is obvious to me (any anyone else really) that Billy is just trying to be funny. How that can be determined as narcissistic is beyond me.

2nd, people have been complaining about his showing his kid on instagram. Not sure how that is any different than any other celebrity or non-celebrity doing the exact same thing. People overuse instagram. Doesn't mean they are bad people.

Egotistical? Absolutely. Narcissistic? Hardly.

fwiw, i posted that i saw no link between the hair comment and narcissism. so on that, wow, we agree.

as for posting pictures of children online, it depends on how the person does it. a narcissist will use their own children to boost their false image that they project to the world. "I'm a good father", "I'm responsible", "I'm caring and nurturing", etc. in a very similar way, this cherry-picked example does not support a NPD diagnosis.

however, you are forgetting or purposefully omitting 30 years of public fallouts, blame shifting, egocentric tendencies, emotionally reactive behavior, impulsivity, child-like behavior, inability to apologize (sincerely), and his own admission of a false self used to protect his, also self-admitted, overly traumatized inner child.

he's a narc. why you feel a need to defend that is beyond me.

And was therefore accessing Instagram on a computer and not a phone

[Mals Marola]

I am not the one who took the original screenie, but I will be sure to relay yer distaste for their picture-taking methods

Fake news Kenny.

I have it under good authority that the Jonathan Melvin hologram is the only former member under consideration for a guest performance.

[DemonUnicorns]

Too soon Buttcannon.

Too soon.

[Funbags]

The fact that MADM wasn't even considered and Jack Bates is being considered as a full time member goes to show i have zero idea about what this band is about anymore.

[DemonUnicorns]

Yeah what exactly is B0ll’s beef with MADM?

Billy:

"I play guitar pretty much on top, and so the bass is better laconic. If the bass is too on top, like for example, Melissa Auf der Maur. When she played with us, she played very on top, and it was constantly tripping all over the fucking guitars. It’s hard to get… the Pumpkins’ sound. If you can bottle it, it’s sort of predicated on the idea the guitars are clearly on top and ahead of the drums; the drums sit in the middle, and the bass is a little back, so it has an impact and wide-scope sound. That’s the sound that I like to hear. Maybe it was developed through playing with D’Arcy and the way she played. I got used to that feeling, and so I’ve looked for that feeling ever since. So, if I found a man who could play like that, I would have no problem putting him in there. Mark Tulin played like that."

selling concert tickets until they are 60. probably easier to stick to the same bassist for that.

[themadcaplaughs]

In 2010 or 2011, someone saw one of Melissa's solo shows and talked to her afterwards. With so many words, she basically said she couldn't believe what Billy had turned into over the decade since she was in the band. The poster directly asked her if Billy would ever consider playing with here again, or at least letting her show up to guest at a show. She said something along the lines of "Billy only hangs out with his Jesus friends now."

Super douchey of Billy to respond like that. She was a fairly well loved part of SP history, and saved the band's ass in 1999/2000.

[Rairun]

Yep, her playing style doesn't explain his douchey answer.

[MplsTaper]

Jack has been killing it up there.
