it's still a terrible embarrassment that he's publicly associated with the band though, given the vocal nature of his oppostion to a human rights issue, which apparently contradicts the band's position.

I've heard about that famous "# of ppl in the USA" quote but I've never actually read the conversation - wow... I can't believe that he had the audacity to not only admit that he stole something, but that he was decent enough to make a copy instead of stealing the original...like holy shit - he is a full-fledged sociopath and I don't feel bad for saying that at all. I was a bit concerned when I spent the day with him in Chicago. He couldn't seem to part from his phone for one second. He was walking and eating while browsing the net, and he even had a pretty active back and forth with Billy while driving around Chicago. I forget what Monte was e-mailing Billy about, but it wasn't anything too important. Thankfully his wife was beside him and was handling the phone most of the time, but he definitely checked it himself when at the stop lights and stuff. |

It's beyond stupid that the band can't manage their own social media.
Joy Formidable, for instance, has a FB page, Twitter Acct, website, etc. and all of it is updated regularly (almost daily). for instance, they added 3 dates to their current tour and that info appeared today on FB and Twitter. nothing too complicated, but all the fans that care about them knew it right away. If SP adds dates to their current tour we get an awkard headline on Monte's blog ...followed by a three sentences of spelling errors and poor grammer.... and half of the time we still won't know wtf is going on. The blog is shitty and it reflects badly on the band. |

I heard back from Nicole. She said that the band has been "rehearsing like mad and changing songs and learning songs, etc." the past few days. A small tidbit :P
Her e-mail addressed a lot of issues and it gives me a lot of think about. I can share a few things, and maybe we can determine together what is the best path to take. Firstly, she said that "My only intention was to reinstate my beliefs, and to make it clear that just because we have a guy reporting news for us doesn't mean that we support his beliefs. I also wanted it to be known that as much as I stand up for LGBT rights, my stance is the same in regards to freedom of speech." More importantly, she said "I need you to know that NOBODY in the band thinks of Monte as our representative. It sucks that the fan community sees it that way." She said that she is more than willing to send me tour and studio exclusives once they start recording - that I just have to ask for the kind of stuff that fans would like to see from the band. Obviously there are not many people that are in my position in the community right now, and I've always tried to make things right. If the majority of you think that this might be a good way to restore some hope and improve the morale in the community, then I will definitely consider being that alternative voice through my site. |

The 2008 musicianship blows away the musicianship of any of the 2011 shows... The setlists may have been better and what not ... The energy may have been more intense, but anyone who is a musician who drums realizes that the musicianship hasn't at any time been up to the level that it was with Jimmy while Byrne has been beating the fuck out of his instrument. I think you're referring to the shows when they had that bad-ass setlist of all the fan favorites? It's an unfair comparison really, because if you saw Jimmy play that same setlist it would have DESTROYED the mike Byrnes version... Also, when Jimmy was in the band, the setlists were so varied. There was surprises each night... And the musicianship was tight as fuck. Corgans vocals still remained weak but Corgan and Chamberlin just locked in man... Corgan and Byrne do not... Just watch here, this is a rather simple song, but the musicianship, the grove is fucking sweet... With Byrne things always seem like they're on the verge of falling apart (hence why Billy is forced to stick with the exact same boring setlist each and every night) |

The new band sucks. Mike Byrnes a fucking embarrassment and Nicole is a straight up ditz... Not sure if you guys read her post, but awhile back she went on this long winded rant about how great fucking Destinys Child and Beyonce are... About how great it is for femininity that Beyonce exists... And that her very sexual outfits were empowering and that she believed that Beyonce would step on stage with jeans and a t-shirt if she felt like it... Nicole has a huge following... She could be opening peoples eyes by providing awesome underground bands that shes into but the best shit she can pass along is fucking Destinys Child? This new bands a joke... and will continue to be so unless Billy can get his musical partner of 20 years back into the fold... Corgans a world class musician... Chamberins a world class musician... Mike Byrne obviously isn't... Corgan should just eat crow and do what it takes to get Jimmy back... Because the Dynamics of this Oceania shit sound like the kinda stuff my high school band was cranking out. |

I only met her in Chicago too, but I spoke to her on Google Hangout a few times. She is honestly one of the nicest people that I have ever known. Her kind heart really shines through. I think she mostly teaches English in high school and she talks about her students like they are her own children. From my observations, she seems to genuinely love Monte and is proud to be his wife. She is extremely accommodating to his needs and is really tolerant of his quirks and phobias. Sorry if this sounds like I'm profiling, but I took a bit of psychology in university XD
We got to hang out a lot while Monte was busy doing other things, and she mentioned how she lost a few close friends because of stuff that Monte has done. She also said that she was a lot nicer and less sarcastic before she met Monte. That made me a bit sad :/ |

Man... watching those 2 SP videos that I posted... Jimmys so locked in... Never off time like Byrne... And hes so tasteful with his fills.
I honestly can't believe that any hardcore fans are satisfied with Mike fucking Byrne. |

I didn't see eye-to-eye with the greatness of Beyonce either, but Nicole was theoretically right when it came to feminism. Beyonce is very much representative of third-wave feminism and the celebration of sexuality as a positive aspect of life. |

That would be fine. Corgan then should have went out and found another phenom on the drums... Surely theres tons of epic drummers out there dying to be in a band like SP... Mike Byrne surely wasn't the most talented guy he could find.
uhh not really... It's all just marketing gimmicks... If Beyonce was a real feminist she would have went out at the Super Bowl and performed in Jeans and a T-shirt to prove a point... But shes probably well aware that her sex appeal is the main focal point of her marketing. It's just lame that Nicole has to flap her gums about Beyonce... Billys provided her with a big stage and audience with whom she can share her ideas with.. And the best shit she can spout off is how great Destinys Child and Beyonce are? Darcy was never that lame... Mellisa was never that lame... Ginger was never that lame... |

Anyway, nobody is asking for monte to be put in jail or to be harassed for his beliefs, what people are asking is that he no longer "represent" the fan base and that he stops acting like a fucking douche. Quote:

Yeah, we might actually see the fruition of our work in the Aeroplane reissue. After the general fan survey, we suggested that the first Lucky 13 release should be 1995 Double Door soundboard recordings. At the time, we weren't really sure which shows were available and the quality of the recordings.
It was definitely not an easy process to convince Billy that this was a good idea for a release. I remember 3 weeks of back and forth. Billy later told Monte that they found recordings for 2 shows and live rehearsals for one. Then, he said that the Double Door recordings would be cleaned up for the Aeroplane reissue. Shortly after, the whole project was put on hold for a few reasons. I don't know if I want to go back to it all - PTSD lol |

It's simple...
Put a poll on the website/forums asking people what they want to see released to gain a general idea of what everyone wants. Everyone profits. Not like that'll ever happen though. |
