Jimmy, getting back his "rig"...:

”In even more exciting news, a woman in Helena found Jimmy Chamberlin’s original heroin rig that he used from Gish up through the Melanoma and the Indelible Badness years. It was the same rig his father had taught him to mainline with, and his father’s father had taught him to shoot up with. It had been in the family since it had been won in a poker match off of Edgar Allan Poe, many moons ago. Chamberlin had tears in his eyes when he saw the surgical tubing and syringe for the first time in 20 years. While he has been sober since then, upon seeing the family junk wallet again, he admitted that his drumming had suffered during the separation, and that he looked forward to doing a “BIG OL’ BLAST” within the next five minutes. Along with Corgan being reunited with hi s ‘74 Strat (a unicorn in the guitar world, as there were only a mere 80,000 produced that year,) Buckethead in full drag - with kabuki makeup and a blonde wig - doing a very convincing D’arcy on bass guitar, a newly recruited Kirk Hammett in a freshly straightened Iha-bob playing second guitar, and the actual James Iha opting for the role of Tour Manager (rather than accepting an invitation from Courtney Love to join a reunited Hole), the “Pumpkins” were BACK!!! Ready to hit the festival circuit. Gonna be EXACTLY like the Gish days. Look out, world!”

he's a barbara walters fan

[smashingjj]

what's with the NWA

[Mals Marola]

Do we really need a "why" as to why he would play a guitar he's described as his "favorite ever" and has been looking for for 25 years on a big tour w/ 2 other Smashing Pumpkins?

[Mals Marola]

i decided to eat lunch today

i'll give you the "why" in a minute

[topleybird]

He's hoping to play it at Trump's reelection banquet

[FoolofaTook]

Calm down he says he is going to film it so everyone can see it. He doesn't however actually say anyone can see it.

[FoolofaTook]

[Mals Marola]

woah

[topleybird]

We'll see it but it'll be 10 minutes of Billy talking about how the paint mirrors the Kabbalah's
Tree of Life and how it affects the guitar tone, and then finally he picks it up without plugging it in and plays Hot Cross Buns

None of you are bidding enough.

[Mals Marola]

there will be 4,999 people who select "yes" when confronted with the decision to get a subscription, and only one "no," which was actually just Auggie Jupe fucking around on the Corgan computer one evening, hitting random keys

this will, naturally, sabotage the entire thing

[Rider]

I filmed the guitar reunion. People have seen it and they say it's the best guitar reunion I have ever done. Then like a fool I went online and they had started a GoFundMe to make fun of me. Now it's just sitting unfinished on a shelf.

[Reyngel]

My guess:

The band is calling it quits in 2020. One final album, one final tour, the Machina reissue is being assembled, re-tracked, reimagined and re-recorded as a Farewell 2.0, much like how Machina was a Farewell 1.0 back in 2000. Final show will be at the Metro. And he'll smash the Gish Strat on stage after the final song.

[Mals Marola]

I have conflicting feelings about this, but I hope at least part of it is true

[Mals Marola]

True as a good ol-fashioned Reyngel guess can be, at least!

If only he would go for the trifecta and promise the release of an 8-disc set of new material to correspond with each sign of the zodiac including a bonus-special-edition-limited to 10,000-obelisk-embroidered-vinyl spoken word rendition Ayn Rand’s Fountainhead with synth accompaniment.

Even Clay Tuckett would say “fuck this guy.”

The why is it's going to part of an elaborate wrestling storyline.
