May I remind of another Facebook group at this occasion?
146 persons share their sympathy for Jeff Schroeder since five years. One article per year, mostly by some Geo F**kers, seems a little lame... https://www.facebook.com/groups/16533182134/ https://scontent-frt3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...ef&oe=5C44457C |

Look, i’m no fan of Monte (he once said “I suspect you’re just a casual fan” when I posted an early review of the MCIS box and said that I really loved James’s demo of Lover Lover. In retrospect I think he was just annoyed that I’d got it before he did), but is this really necessay? I don’t get why people have a problem with Linda Stawberry for the main crime of being Billy Corgan’s friend. You might think she’s irrelevant but she doesn’t actually do any harm. And at least she creates stuff- she did a decent job on this tour. And I always found Monte just a bit... sad. Someone to be pitied really. What’s to be gained?

It actually has to do with Strawberry's role in the feud between Corgan and Wretzky.
She is one of his asskissers. https://scontent-frt3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...eb&oe=5C3F315E |

Linda's early memories, how she met Corgan and the band:
"well it all started when i was working with the amazing bjorn thorsrud, who was fresh off of recording machina.. the last smashing pumpkins record. he came out to salt lake to record some demo's with me. i was just barely eighteen. (bjorn is amazing) i met billy shortly after when the pumpkins did an instore. i made friends with him over the months.. i was at the chateau marmont after he did that interview on kroq where he announced the pumpkins breakup.. he had a piano in his room and that was the first time he helped me on a song.... skip forward to november i went out for the last pumpkins show at the metro. the night before, when they were rehearsing, billy asked me to sing with him on "to sheila" on a whim. i was terrified, and more excited than i had ever been. it was me, the frogs, and the band. after we rehearsed billy was off to the side signing things and i shyly went up to him and said.. "are you sure you want me to sing on that?" he looked me dead in the eyes and said "i dont like insecure people" .. i never questioned him again. that night i was terrified. i drank my first bloody mary. i had never been around famous people. i was very shy.. and when i went on stage i was shaking like a leaf.. billy introduced me as linda strawberry from romania.. and i couldnt hear myself in the monitors at all.. i just saw a sea of faces and felt electricity down to my toes. i think i stood too close to billy.. but i was terrified. ha. that was an INCREDIBLE show. it was very emotional. i felt unbelievably lucky to have been there. fast forward>>>>> after the pumpkins were over billy decided to come out to experiment in salt lake city where bjorn and i were. so, while he started to try to find a new direction i hung out and watched and learned. bon harris was also there (formerly of nitzer ebb, and who also had worked on the pumpkins record "adore"). so bon and i set up downstairs and started to find a new direction. i also had the direction of billy and bjorn. i just didnt know what i was gonna do. those songs turned out amazing.. but they werent quite right. so i kept on writing.. i wrote a couple of songs with billy, and others he just gave me guidance on. one day when i walked into the studio i saw a paper with the word ZWAN written on it in different fonts. shortly after, matt sweeney and jimmy chamberlain also came out and started to play together on some of billy's new songs. marianne faithfull and francois ravard also came out to finish vocals on the songs billy produced for her last record "kissing time" (<---so good!) my first time playing "with" a band was when billy, matt, jimmy, and i accompanied marianne in a version of "love and money". i was freaking out. i was so excited. i was just a random girl from mormon utah all of the sudden thrown in with these amazing musicians. marianne would tell us stories about her past with the beatles and the rolling stones ect. it was awesome. that was a very formative month for me. i remember one night in particular when i was driving marianne back to her hotel, when she told me things that changed my life. she basically told me not to be afraid to go completely with my heart, and to have courage about leaving my family and my religeon and my security to chase my dreams... i also remember one night in particular when we all went to a local club liquid joe's where neil (an assistant at the studio)'s band was playing, royal bliss. billy got up there with matt jimmy and bjorn and did a version of "a whole lotta love" . while i was standing there i made the decision that this was what i wanted to do my whole life. fast forward>> when billy decided to go back to chicago he asked me if i would come out for a few weeks and play on some songs for a soundtrack. that ended up being SPUN. it was me, matt, and billy. we just went in learned a song in about an hour and did only a couple of takes and moved on. that was so intense.. and amazing. we did so many songs in such a short period of time. one of them i remember the most was "love to love" a UFO song. billy said he wanted me to sing it and played it a few times. after i did one run through take of it he wouldn't let me do it again.. and that is what they ended up using. during that time we also did demo's of songs for zwan. it was a major learning experience for me. also, i played on the last bozo the clown show with billy. that was really fun." |

Monte had been given the privilege of listening to the album before everyone else in the community because he had his website at the time. Monte was then releasing the odd little 5 second snippet or "sips of tea" as he called it in order to promote the upcoming release. Basically, he was living the dream and feeling ecstatic that he was the only one who could provide any insight about the album and you came along and in his mind "stole his thunder" by providing an entire review hahaha. |

Linda Strawberry's fishy ambition to become the next shenanigan bass player in the Smashing Pumpkins? #bassbitch A true look on her Instagram posts, telling probably an amazing story... Step 1: Having the anticipation to have talent to play bass by playing a cheap second hand in a guitar store. Step 2: Bleaching the hair blonde for a Darcy-lookalike. Step 3: Getting a new bass (probably not left over by somebody’s tour sponsor). Step 4: Posting a first noodling, with easy chord progressions of any Pumpkins classic. Step 5: Pretending to be so intense at learning, to even wake up very early in the morning to practise a fascinating bass line. Step 6: Wishing your „inspiring and true friend“ a Happy Birthday, telling him btw about your amazing progress on your new beloved instrument. Step 7: Getting red handed (to a b/w photo) by the stress of intense exercising. Certainly to be continued… Last edited by Corgan's Bluff : 10-19-2018 at 01:50 PM. |

Damn, Linda is THIRRRRSTY for that job.
What makes it more hilarious is that Billy hasn’t given her the job and would rather slum it with Jack Bates than give her a shot, even though SP bass lines are not remotely complicated. Hell, given Linda’s vague resemblance to D’arcy, he could have probably duped a few casual fans who haven’t paid attention to all the drama that she WAS D’arcy (“Whoa dude, that blond bass player chick is still super hot!”). Yet he STILL denies her. Those posts by Linda are basically that photo of Mitt Romney sucking up to Trump in hopes that he would get that Secretary of State job. |

Sodom and gonorrhea in the Zwan aera:
Undoubtfully Billy Corgan told, one of his musicians to have had an affair with his producers Bjorn Thorsrud girlfriend during the recordings of the Zwan album. Undoubtfully Linda and Bjorn were in a relationship before the Zwan-recordings: “i met her(Linda) and Bjorn a few years ago at the El Rey, though I can't remember if I was there to see Death Cab or Remy Zero. She was fucking wasted, they were having a 'good time'.“ Undoubtfully Paz and Matt were in a relationship during the recordings: “Paz and Matt were very much together during the recording of mary and the early tour in april 2002. I remember reading some post by a fan saying that they ran into Paz and Matt at an april 2002 show and they were holding hands. the fan asked if they were going out, and matt said "yes". and during a hideout show they were all kissy kissy.” Relationship-Rumor: “It had something to do with Billy wanting Linda but Linda went for Pajo instead and then Paz also wanted Pajo but he refused so there was this 4 way BS going on. SUPPOSEDLY. Could be totally fake. Just something someone told me. Also Billy cheated with Linda so Yelena dumped him. Pre-Zwan I guess. At storytellers billy was all moping about it.” Could it be, that Pajo had affairs with Linda and Paz? And this was one of the reasons that broke up the band…? Strange, how Linda Strawberry came out of it, without being accused by Billy Corgan, like the bandmates. Last edited by Corgan's Bluff : 10-19-2018 at 07:40 PM. |

Whats more, it's not just about the parts. Bass playing is about feel. Melissa Auf der Maur is technically one of the best players SP had, but she never fitted audibly because her style and feel didn't gel, she plays with more attack, always fractionally ahead. D'arcy settled back into the grove and locked into the drums more. Jack can play with all of that Peter-Hook-attack, but there's not much call for that in SP, he also knows how to settle back and let the drums lead the dance, gluing the beat to the guitars. It's not just about playing the right notes in the right order. I always thought it was a shame Nicole never got to play with Jimmy because she's a wonderful player, she has better melodic instincts than Ginger or Jack, while also knowing how to stay out of the way of the guitars and sit fractionally behind the beat, which was always Melissa's issue. Corgan's too much of a perfectionist to have let someone play bass in SP if they didn't have the right feel, I think he learnt his lesson with Melissa who was his friend, looked the part and was on-paper, at least, a perfect fit. If they'd fucked up this tour, then that would probably have been the end of SP. |

Could it be that Bjorn has erased his website for the many false birthday wishes? :
http://www.bjornthorsrud.com/ Bjorn is enjoying his time more now... ...after many hard drum lessons. |

she probably already had the same STD's as billy, so it's an easy side fuck without having to glove up for rando girls.. This is pretty typical for famous industry folks.

Also Corgan's opinion in 2012 regarding D'arcy and Melissa. D'arcy forever!
