Default SP and Money

While it's well documented that Billy was never a fan dividing up the songwriting money. Are there things about the arrangement we don't understand or may not be aware of?For example, I was wondering if Billy reinvests a bunch of his "share" back into the band and all of its expenses.

Just curious if there was something about how it worked that I didn't know, or if Billy really is just super greedy.

I'd say he's arrogant more than he's greedy. But his arrogance could certainly lead to him making decisions that appear to be done out of greed.

Impossible.

We at Netphoria have been indulged with the utmost specificity as it relates to Smashing Pumpkins' full & unguarded financial statements & arrangements. If anyone tells you otherwise they are to be ignored & immediately disposed of.

Do you fucking hear me?

There's been some decent info on the board about arguments about songwriting credits, divvying up money, behind the scenes fights, whatever. Just wondering if anyone had info or speculation about any of this stuff

Jimmy didn't want to do the ‘Cash the check’ for a while:

ROLLING STONE
MARCH 24, 2009
Jimmy Chamberlin Explains Smashing Pumpkins Split, Says He Can’t “Cash The Check”
By DANIEL KREPS

Days after Rock Daily reported that Jimmy Chamberlin was exiting the Smashing Pumpkins, the drummer took to his official blog to explain his side of the story. “By now you have heard the news of my departure from the Smashing Pumpkins. I will say, without going into any unnecessary details that this represents a positive move forward for me,” Chamberlin writes. “I can no longer commit all of my energy into something that I don’t fully possess. I won’t pretend I’m into something I’m not. I won’t do it to myself, you the fan, or my former partner. I can’t just, ‘Cash the check’ so to speak.”

The “cash the check” line is especially striking, considering the Smashing Pumpkins have really “sold out” as the kids say in recent years, popping up in plenty of commercials. There’s the Morgan Freeman-narrated Visa commercial featuring “Today,” the Hyundai ad featuring new track “F.O.L.” that aired during the Super Bowl, “That’s the Way (My Love Is)” in a Ford commercial, the Guitar Hero: World Tour exclusive track “G.L.O.W.” Add it all up and the Pumpkins have pretty much become the Yellow Pages. Plus, perhaps Chamberlin further soured on sticking with the band after Corgan testified in Washington, D.C. in favor of the fan-maligned Live Nation Ticketmaster merger.

As for Corgan going all Axl Rose and continuing on as the Smashing Pumpkins, Chamberlin — the Pumpkin who stuck with Billy the longest, even playing in Zwan — says, “My best goes out to Billy and I’m glad he has chosen to continue under the name. It is his right.” Chamberlin adds, “Music is my life. It is sacred. It deserves the highest commitment at every level and the Pumpkins are certainly no different. I’m sorry but it really IS that simple. There is no drama, bad blood, or anything else but a full commitment to music.” Chamberlin writes that he’ll continue to make music with his Jimmy Chamberlin Complex and other musical interests.

WPC and Money:

The contract with Virgin Records was signed by Corgan, not the whole band.
They even had problems to find some tapes in the archives for the reissues, as they were sorted under his name, not of the band...

Literally every thread on this board boils down to: Billy is an asshole.

We may unfortunately never know if, say, James was on unemployment from 1988 until 2000

Although on second thought, Jimmy putting "cash the check" in quotes suggests the possibility that some non-monetary arrangement had been made

No. He's just saying that he can't do it for just for money. It being in quotes means he wasn't being literal. Billy wasn't writing him a cheque every month that he had to go and cash at the bank.

Is it true that WPC and Chloe got $500 per each child from the federal government?
