Default OMG...the Billy article in RS.

Some heavy shit. And it turns out "false but fun to pretend" IS ACTUALLY NOT PRETEND OR FALSE.

What a fucking cunt BC turned into... And I was so hopeful during the Zwan era.
Gah.

If he really was so stupid as to fire Jimmy, the best alternative rock drummer of all time, from his alternative rock band, then it is all over for SP. No hope. Bad management is bad management. We need a new GM for our rockband franchise.

Is there anyway we can hold open auditions for a new Billy Corgan?

We could even recruit Matt and Melissa to be on the bench (opening every show, I suppose, and helping out on the epic jams).

We just need a new singer. Maybe Stephen Lynch is up for it?

I like that career suicide line. Funny stuff.

I really hope that Jimmy wasn't fired for a second time.

It's amazing to me how quickly the canonical Netphorian SP narrative has shifted from "Jimmy left the band voluntarily to get away from Billy's idiocy," to "Billy's such an idiot that he forced Jimmy to leave the band against his will" in just a few minutes.

That said, I hope Billy had a good reason for firing him (and say what you will about the guy, but he's never been the type to act arbitrarily when it comes to personnel). I can't say I'm thrilled he's airing more dirty laundry out in Rolling Stone of all places, but if it clears up misinformation, then so be it.

That's what you call "naming an album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness," not "making up lie after lie about the lives and works of many artists and insulting your fans in the process"

Hmm, we don't know their personal dynamic. Firing however sounds so different from 'going their seperate ways' - I really don't think it would be a decision taken lightly.

right, we're always looking through a glass darkly, but "firing" suggests some inappropriate behaviour on the part of Jimmy.

in all likelihood, corgan probably just told jimmy to "get lost" in a pass-aggressive manner. then, jimmy had too much class to smear corgan or bring to light what happened.

i'm just saying.

From the Twitter feed of the author of RS article -

Quote:
Dear confused Pumpkins fans: Yes, Billy says in the story that he fired Jimmy Chamberlin in 2009. 8 minutes ago via web
Seems hard to misinterpret as the MCIS firing. Should be an interesting read

I'm guessing it's a 'firing' as Jimmy clearly wasn't into it, but doggedly sticking with Billy through some sense of loyalty, at the cost of following his own musical intuition and spending time with his family.
