I think it owes to the way that James pensively studies his guitar when he plays that people assume he's responsible for making the cool sounds (occasionally he was, ebow, laser gun, strange guitar tuning). Also because he's Asian, and an Asian stereotype is that whatever they do, they do very well. And it's just kind of uncommon for the lead singer to also be the more skilled guitarist in a group, which makes a person wonder why Billy didn't hold out for a guitarists similar to Jeff Schroeder to begin with, they're a dime a dozen now, and they definitely were back then.

the band they became wasn't really the band they were when they started out - i mean Billy was on bass for christ sake. either way it's not totally surprising to me that he wasn't looking for someone to upstage him right off the bat

The fact that Billy was willing to take the bass and let James play guitar was pretty remarkable considering Billy was a fully blown shredder by then, and speaks to the fact that he had been both modest and generous. After things fell apart with James and D'arcy, it was nothing but hired guns and strict confidentiality agreements.

I do too. But one certainly couldn't argue there wasn't a massive downgrade in his artistic quality from 2000-2018... Now there was a few little peaks and valleys, but the drop-off is quite stunning.

Billy sold his soul to Alex Jones and Linda Strawberries.

The band aren't happy you've shared the new Machina cover. Take it down or face legal action.

I've only stolen it from D'arcy's sister Molly. She had posted it on her Facebook site, a street graffitti she had found...

i wonder if she's satisfied being a hop along at this point in her life. if you told her in the year 2000 that she'd still be traipsing along with billy and the pumpkins 18 years later, would she be enthused with that idea? |

She's never had anything else going on, apart from that pretty good song she did for Phineas and Ferb. I feel like she could have predicted that a little bit, and felt glad that he didn't toss her aside when she turned 30 like all the others

It does seem like a pretty sweet gig. But then again it’s Billy.

Linda Strawberry is sort of like the Gaga character in A Star Is Born, only this is the Bizarro World version of that story, in which the character has no actual talent and is basically stuck as a glorified groupie for the rest of her existence.

The more I learn about Billy on account of his connecting with fans, as they say, the more salient that saying "don't meet your heroes" becomes. It becomes mental gymnastics for me to still highly regard the music I've loved for decades, as my opinion the artist rapidly erodes. I suppose Linda Strawberry likes where she is, but I think I'm feel the more physical and social distance, the better.
