The Oceania Arena Tour debacle thread
Now that some times passed it's quite comical to think back about the Oceania Tour.
Where in the world did Billy get the idea that he could sell out arenas by playing his new album in it's entirety? The only selling point that the SP brand has is their mid-90's work. Hell, they wouldn't have had a chance at selling out those kind of venues even if they played Siamese Dream front to back with the lineup that was on tour. I've read theories that Billy overreacted to the initial positive reviews for the album but lets face it, The reviews weren't even that great. Positive, sure. But I recall the vibe from critics being more like " hey, Billy Corgan actually put out something that isn't half awful." Anyhow, it was just a perfect showcase of Billy's delusion. The record didn't even have any radio play for crying out loud (you need that kind of exposure if you're gonna try to sell out arenas on the back of a new album) Perhaps the debacle was a blessing in disguise, because had it been a success, we'd still have Mike and Nicole in the "band". |

Even if SP does reunite, promoters are gonna be nervous about having SP playing arenas after that massive failure. That's why I don't think anything but a full reunion will fly. I don't think a BC/JC/JI reunion sells out arenas... Unless they do a Siamese Dream tour or something.

It's relative to the contracts regarding SP ever playing arenas in North America again. The massive failure could really contribute to a lack of will regarding any kind of promoters wanting to get behind a reunion tour.

Highlight of that tour was this totally radical abstract poster:
Just such a mess. I think I sold mine on ebay for like $9 and was just glad to not have it around and have a Chipotle burrito or something instead. Remember how big of a deal they made about the ORB thing? It was kind of a neat visual, sure... but it was like paragraph two of the press release. |

How was this five years ago
Also I want to point out that even though Billy's voice is weird and he does dumb shit with it now, he will soon approach the point where he starts to lose the ability to sing well at all. |

I thought that they chose to play the arenas purely to accommodate for the orb.

I got to see them play at a tiny country venue in tulsa because of that tour. So i'm cool with it. I didn't care that Byrne sucked, rest of the band was in a groove.
