Remember this interview was done before Corgan announced the reunion.

Shit, who am I fooling? James isn't coming back.

I think you're right. I remember hearing the same thing during a Perfect Circle interview over a year ago. I think that interviewer did a cut and paste job on that one. If James actually said that currently to the press, more of a deal would have been made of it. And before you say the Pumpkins aren't big enough for James speaking out to be newsworthy, Jimmy's announcement to join Billy had its own little article in the Washington Post the next morning.

I don't know if the editor used an old statement or not, but even if he did contact James, it would have been before Billy made his announcement.

it is fair to make comments about general cultures.. there are differences between cultures and its not wrong to identify those differences. its not bigotry, or ignorance.

That James comment was taken out of an interview in 2004 after Billy had originally blamed the breakup thing on him at billycorgan.com. It's the exact same statement word for word. It was during A Perfect Circle interview, James was asked abot it, gave that statement, then billy howerdel(sp?) said something about billy corgan being crazy, having 7 therapists tell him who was wrong, and that he was a great songwrite, but that was it.

Besides, this whole article was made before the revival announcement, the announcement occured at press time.

By saying asians it's grouping them together. DUH!

I'm not accusing Billy of bigotry. But that was a stupid comment to make.

Yes. I have to sadly admit that I lost a lot of respect for him after that one. What the fuck? Didn't all that LSD teach you anything Billy? At least James can compliment Billy in his response...

Yeah, that was one thing that kinda pissed me off, was that James didn't say anything about the band breaking up, which probably means it was true. This is not for those of you who take Billy out of context when he says James broke up the band. Anyway, the part that upsets me is, who does Howerdal think he is to go off on Billy about something that dosn't concern him?

fuck you idiot, the concept of a singular distinctive "culture" with definite characteristics and boundarious is a gross generalization. How many years have you live in Asia dipshit? I grew up there (Philippines) and I can tell you that what we call "asia" is an enourmous physical area filled with incredibly diverse people (like everywhere else on our wonderful planet).
Plus James is way more Americanized (whatever the fuck that is) than Asian. And who writes the sappy, emotional songs like blew away, take me down, etc? Fucking idiot. I cannot believe you would stand up and defend Billy's bigoted statement. Can't the bald one ever utter a stupidity? Heres a clue: YES (see the machina mystery, etc.)

Its not like he's taking anyone's work away from them, it just seems like they were apathetic about it.
A few weeks ago he said he was the dictator of the smashing pumpkins. Contradictions. And in his blog he said they were useless.

Or it means that James is above playing the blame game and dishing out personal info to the press and dissing his former bandmates.

though I wish he would say more than just some stock PR answers.

I wouldn't completely exonerate James....I've heard from a few people that he often talked shit behind Corgan's back when the band was fully running. Not defending Billy for what he's doing, but these two have their share of playing dirty.

what one of my friends said....

"This guy is insane.....and he won't stop. He needs a girlfriend, stat."

I definitely think he needs to decompress a bit. There's letting it out and then there's snapping.......bad things can happen to those who snap.

that actually makes me feel a bit better, theres still hope. man, that sucks for people who don't know this, that seems like hes saying no if he said something like that just yesterday. while it is still doubtful, there is still possibility.

the asian thing made me laugh. pretty stupid, but funny.

I'm still holding out on Corgan showing up on the Surreal Life in about 3 years with Richard Hatch, Michael Dorn, Drea De Matteo and Tony Jaa.
