Who's in the band? - London show 5th December

darcy666 · 11-18-2014, 05:32 AM

Seeing as he doesn't have a band it seems strange they're announcing a gig so soon:

I'm already double booked on that day so can't make it myself despite it being a pretty local venue for me.

redbull · 11-18-2014, 06:13 AM

the lineup for this show is

billy corgan
james iha
jimmy chamberlin
les claypool

fuzzyroes · 11-18-2014, 06:18 AM

According to Corgan it's an "All star line up" that is going to generate a bunch of hype

Shallowed · 11-18-2014, 06:28 AM

I think we all know that at this stage, simply playing a show with Billy Corgan under the name Smashing Pumpkins does not guarantee you that you will be a member of the band.

Shallowed · 11-18-2014, 06:31 AM

Billy has invited musicians to be temporary members during transitional periods for the band.

I have a strong feeling this show could be similar.

"Aside from possible gigs with Tommy Lee, have you given thought to who’s going to be on stage with you next year?

“I have. It’s going to be a great thing that I wish I could tell you about, but I can’t. It’ll definitely be an all-star band. It’ll cause a stir, which is good. We start rehearsals any day now. For some reason, we can’t announce it yet. It’s not in my hands.”

MyOneAndOnly · 11-18-2014, 08:01 AM

billy crogan
jeffy schroeder
jason bonham
that bass player guy from Rage Against The Machine

Mals Marola · 11-18-2014, 08:06 AM

flea'll be on bass

just look at all the other non-rhcp alt rock guys "from the 90s" he's worked with

damon albarn, thom yorke, ... ah what the hell, BILL corgan

Ram27 · 11-18-2014, 08:20 AM

I'm scared what his idea of an 'all-star band' is

Funbags · 11-18-2014, 08:51 AM

Josh Freese?

Kim Deal (lolz)

Cool As Ice Cream · 11-18-2014, 09:06 AM

the koko is cool
i went there a couple of years ago, and after the gig, there were tons of 22 year olds lining up to get in, for whatever dj was playing after the gig

will he make Brad Wilk wear a ladies wig so he can continue to live out his oedipal fantasies on stage?

Brisk · 11-18-2014, 09:33 AM

Hmm is it worth going to more than 1?

Billy said no special Mellon Collie shows etc so I guess it will just be the new album in full with like zero and bullet?

I thought this was a joke until I saw it on their FB.

Cool As Ice Cream · 11-18-2014, 09:35 AM

i still think it's a joke.

Araneae · 11-18-2014, 09:36 AM

What's the venue capacity for the Camden? As long as they avoid arenas, unlike what they did for the Oceania tour, it should sell reasonably well.

Cool As Ice Cream · 11-18-2014, 09:39 AM

koko is small. should sell out quickly.

His 20 year old target group let out a collective, "who?"

Obviously Billy has a very different idea of what "all-star" means. Rage Against the Machine brokeup like 15 years ago and nobody gives a shit about the killers anymore. I don't see how Brad Wilk's style even fits into the pumpkins and I don't know much at all about the killers drummer. I never noticed the drums while listening to any of their songs. What a weird fucking lineup.

You're a bit confused. Brad Wilk is the RATM drummer and Mark Storrmer is the Killers bassist.

Araneae · 11-18-2014, 09:53 AM

You're right. I thought Brad Wilk was the guy with the solid black tattoos on his arms. It has been a long time since I've listened to Rage.

MyOneAndOnly · 11-18-2014, 10:26 AM

wow, I was close. I just made up the Rage Against the Machine thing.

amoergosum · 11-18-2014, 10:53 AM

juliana · 11-18-2014, 10:55 AM

I think a kid from mc donalds is more funny/a joke.

Araneae · 11-18-2014, 11:06 AM

Billy wants you to know that he's "jazzed" about the shows/lineup and the "killer" set.

To say we're jazzed about these upcoming shows is an understatement. Mark and Brad are incredible musicians. Set we've got is killer too.

I really think Jimmy will be back after this tour. Maybe wishful thinking, but, just seems that way to me.

Pizza Club · 11-18-2014, 12:36 PM

I'm excited about this. I hope I can go. Mark did some cool bass stuff in The Killers. I think Brad is in the same ballpark as Tommy Lee, so that doesn't seem so crazy. I'm interested in hearing him playing some of the lighter songs.
