The whole thing looks like GLOW part 2.

The next song will be a fairytale.

At least the video:

Five Little Pumpkins

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate

The first one said, “Oh it’s getting late!”

The second one said, “But we don’t care!”

The third one said, “There are witches in the air!”

The fourth one said, “Lets run and run and run!”

The fifth one said, “I’m ready for some fun!”

Then WHOOOOOOO went the wind. And out went the lights.

And out went the lights!

And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight!

Much white fluffiness.

Oh no, you had to double down with that GIF!
Billy trapped in WinAmp visualizations.
Ugh, that whole thing was just cringe-inducing.

Let's not forget his little train conductor outfit performance.

And now this horrible Adore look reboot with a shit Linda Strawberry sandwich style and some pop music video director.

Oh, and that atrocious mini Pillbox movie crap desperately trying to be Tonight Tonight so Linda can pretend she's so deep and spiritual and not the hack that she is.

Jesus Billy, this is your grand fucking reunion that you've been creaming in your pants to pull off for the last decade or more. Put someone fucking competent in the director's chair with a visual style that's not going to look cheesy like a cheaply made, hastily thrown together music video. Did your wrestling endeavor put you that much in the hole? This is only the video that's going to reintroduce the fucking Smashing Pumpkins to the world. Perhaps, like his music lately, Billy's taste is just shit these days and he thinks this genuinely rocks.

Oh no, Netphoria has infected me with pure hate! Wait no, Billy's choices did that just fine on their own. Sorry Netphoria.

In the third week after it's release "Solara" still not real existing in the charts, even not in the

That’s probably because it’s a frozen turd

It is extremely cool that we're just letting this bizarre comment go

[johncg]

It’s not uncommon for closet trans women to be aggressively conservative and/or horrible towards trans people. Billy definitely is both those things. He’s also an extremely tight wound and selfish douchebag which is common for a man with repressed gender/sexuality stuff.

And he does “play” with taking on feminity in his art. Again it’s pretty par for the course for a trans person to use music specifically as their “safe place” to express who they really are inside, often subconsciously. For one thing, listen to his singing voice/style on SD, his most personal album. He sounds very femme, to say the least.

Then there’s all those song titles that are simply a female name, lyrics like “i aim to please the little girl inside of me,” wearing skirts/dresses on stage (he does so “ironically” or “artistically” but again it’s very common for trans people to find excuses to dress as their true gender publicly...cis hetero men are generally in no hurry to wear female clothes on stage lol.)

I have to say honestly I know quite a few trans girls who are/were huge SP fans too. Not too shocking.

Oh yeah....and that collar. Just screams, “I am a straight man,” doesn’t it?

uh, what? billy and james wearing dresses is one of the reasons i loved them growing up - their connection to their feminine side, their fearless expression of themselves. billy is 51 now and looks like he's clinging too hard to the past, but none of that means he's transgender. as for the straight man comment, wearing dresses (cross-dressing) has nothing to do with sexuality. nirvana also wore dresses so i suppose that whole band was transgender too.

So if Billy is trans I guess none of that matters anymore. I see.

Billy just plays up the dark artistic shtick because he knows it's good for business. He probably laughs about it with his bros when he's just hanging out.

[johncg]

I think that’s very accurate.

this gif is THE best response imo

New song from Alice In Chains

The difference in quality between this and “Solara” is absolutely STAGGERING. And to think SP used to be significantly better than AIC (who are great, don’t get me wrong. Peak SP is the best of any music I’ve heard so far though). You’d never guess based off of those two songs.

Whoa

That was an amazing song

Does AIC still do the weird acoustic stuff?

This is probably the funniest thing I’ve ever read on here.

Meh. Black Gives Way to Blue was an incredible album, but everything since then has just sounded boring and stale. Hopefully the album has a couple of memorable songs.

Solara to me is catchier than either single AIC have up out for their new album, and Solara is nothing great, but it has some catchy parts.
