Is Jimmy a scientologist? He always sounds brainwashed when he speaks

Gotta be burying your head reeeaally far down in the sand at this point to to call any incarnation of the band without all four original members 'not SP'. It ain't like Marilyn Manson now where every single person who used to write the music is gone.

If you want the old incarnation of the band you have to 1) drain their bank accounts 2) hook them up with some drugs. It's more about the recipe than the chef.
SP isn't the only nostalgia band that had to suck it in and reform their original lineup for the sake of the fans that won't buy the member's solo records. I was going to list a few off the top of my head but I see someone else already did https://music.avclub.com/tail-betwee...s-s-1798237280 (yes, Billy made the list, congratulations Billy!) It's the fans fault, because even thought these people were usually the brains behind the band, we were too infatuated with the idea that it's a musical group effort. I think on some level Billy is an unlikable person, but you love the music, so you see James and D'arcy up there, they're likable for some reason, they make the whole thing more fun. Take them out of the picture and you just have a bald creepy guy, so "the band" doesn't shift as many units in turn. And now we're all relieved James is back, it somehow takes the edge off. |

D'arcy nailed it:

"We don't want to play with D'arcy because she's a weirdo who doesn't have a normal whitebread family like the rest of us -and we've gotta support our lifestyle as independently wealthy alt.rock businessmen. Besides, we've basically got Peter Hook playing with us because we paid his SON to tour with us".
Jimmy's a great drummer, but he's an asshole. D'arcy stuck with the band when he was fucked up on drugs, but he can't put up with HER for being strange? Last edited by Funbags : 10-09-2018 at 10:44 AM. Reason: dialed it baaack |

The relentless positivity from Jimmy can be at turns refreshing, and then just downright annoying because it's hard to gauge if this is what he really thinks. From fan encounters with him, it would appear to be the case that he genuinely is in a good place, or at least subscribes to positive thinking.
Still, I'd rather he was this way and seemingly happy, than a burn out who had his life completely destroyed in a hotel room in NYC in the 90s. (and yes, I secretly wondered if he had gone all Scientology as well) |

I even think that if it becomes apparent at some point that they can fill a lot more seats with D'arcy on board, that Billy will try approaching her again, probably with a more attractive offer, too. The band talks up Jack Bates, but the fans don't a flying f*ck about Jack Bates, or even Jeff Schroeder - they're good musicians, but so are a lot of people. According to D'arcy, Billy staged a cash grab tour because he took a bath on his wrestling investment, but I think having kids, and taking on a role as bread winner, might have had something to do with it, too. And Billy just had a second child, which tells me he liked the first kid and decided he was all in. It's when people have one kid and stop that it's not a good sign, because it suggests that even one kid might have been too many for them. Time is money when you have a family, and Billy probably recognizes that just one arena tour nets as much cash as several club tours, but you have to make big concessions to the fans in order to fill an arena.

Actually I disagree partly, I think D'arcy's involvement would have brought back more of the chemistry, the original four had a chemistry that you can't hear in any of the live performances with different bass players. D'arcy was really important for that. That said, unless they went back to writing songs in a rehearsal room and working arrangements out in jams (never gonna happen) I doubt she'd have any impact on the writing. |

Her involvement would also have probably brought back more feuding. |

Outside of our first talk reconnecting a few weeks ago which was based around that Zane Lowe interview, we haven't even talked about Billy or the Pumpkins, just life. She's working real hard right now and doing good. |

Working real hard on her farm? Her shoulder must be doing well now.
I hope she still plays bass more frequent to be ready to return to some form of musical engagement. |

Yeah I wasn't sure if it needed it's own thread so I put it here. Somewhat embarrassed to admit I lifted it from reddit.
