So, has Billy even acknowledged the 20th anniversary on stage yet?

Reyngel · 11-10-2008, 04:58 AM

Maybe I've missed something, but I don't think he's even brought it up. No "thank you for the last 20 years, everyone," no "well, it's been a great 20 years," no anything.

Just some rants and bitching at the crowd here and there.

What's up with that?

tcm · 11-10-2008, 05:46 AM

Columbus: "welcome to the start of our 20th anniversary tour."

tcm · 11-10-2008, 06:10 AM

the indians were understandably unenthused.

Spaldz · 11-10-2008, 06:28 AM

He said it twice at the Halloween show

Reyngel · 11-10-2008, 06:52 AM

But the Halloween show wasn't really a 20th Anniversary show, right?

Didn't it start in Cleveland? So Columbus doesn't count.

Well, I think I remember Billy welcoming the fans in Columbus to "the beginning of the 20th anniversary tour".

topleybird · 11-10-2008, 10:15 AM

Guys, in Columbus he said welcome to the beginning night start opening of our the 20th anniversary tour!!!

Kahlo · 11-10-2008, 10:20 AM

is this even important?

By calling it as such, I'm pretty sure he is acknowledging it.

Agreed. There is much more to question Billy on than how he introduces the show.

Reyngel · 11-10-2008, 01:17 PM

I was just curious if he talked about the 20th anniversary at the shows so far... wasn't really hating or anything. I haven't listened to the available bootlegs all the way through yet, so I wasn't sure. Just wondering about what banter he's been having on stage, if any. I know there hadn't been a lot of stage banter over the last year in comparison with years past. Maybe Jeff and Ginger will start to speak more.

Chillll

tcm · 11-10-2008, 01:22 PM

Toronto, night 1: "so before we wave goodbye, we'd like to leave you with a message of love & hope. that's right, love & hope. just breathe that in, love & hope.

no matter how many times you abuse us; no matter how many times you disuse us; even when you forget us, we haven't forgotten about you. that's right.

20 years. boom. and oh by the way, we still rock harder than 99% of the fucking bands on this planet. why? because we care.

no, we don't care to roll out here and just play a bunch of hits and take your money. no, we have to challenge you, we have to make you think: who are the Smashing Pumpkins? are these the Smashing Pumpkins? i don't know! are we?

we're all the Smashing Pumpkins! get it? of course you won't collect the royalty checks, but spiritually you're all the Smashing Pumpkins.

i'm sure we've disappointed a few of you tonight. yes, it happens. like for instance, this young man over here yelling, 'Cherub Rock, Cherub Rock, Cherub Rock, Cherub Rock, Cherub Rock, Cherub Rock, Cherub Rock, Cherub Rock, Cherub Rock, Cherub Rock, ...'"

anyway... he said something like... "this is the beginning of our 20th anniversary show" in columbus.

tcm · 11-10-2008, 03:59 PM

see cause the way i put it in my first post could be read like columbus, christopher columbus was speaking, and the indians would be none too celebratory about commemorating the anniversary of their slaughter and enslavement and such.

Shallowed · 11-10-2008, 04:15 PM

Has anyone said anything about the Columbus show yet?

There was a Columbus show? I think Billy said something about the 20th when they played a week on Conan.

markpregen · 11-10-2008, 09:31 PM

(that was the white stripes btw)

Rickpat12 · 11-10-2008, 09:33 PM

...the White Stripes played a whole week on Conan?

Hypocaust · 11-11-2008, 01:07 AM

Nonsense. The White Stripes haven't been around twenty years.
