The key words from Corgan are "When she heard it wasn't how she wanted it to be"... Yes, she didn't wanna be the Steven Adler attraction wheeled up on stage for a couple songs each night. Why would she wanna go for that? That doesn't benefit anyone but Billy and the rest of the band.
Even Adler said it was bunk when he did it. Cause you do all this traveling, it's this big commitment all just to appear on stage for 5 minutes... It simply isn't worth the time and and commitment of simply showing up. |

D'arcy couldn't have described it any better when she referred to it as dangling a carrot.

Forgotten D'arcy...
They began the recordings in January without informing D'arcy about it. Without having known about her injury at that time. This is all well documented through the text messages. They stayed for nearly a month in the studio, but Corgan told her, it would mostly be for just one song. Though he proudly posted on Instagram the opposite. Why should Live Nation or "other parties" have tried to meet D’arcy, if even Corgan didn't do so? The way he behaved the whole time, he played games with her, with Jack Bates already hired as their main bass player. But in the end he failed in assessing D’arcy’s reaction. Doesn't need another discussion to see how poorly the "reunion" got handled. Last edited by Corgan's Bluff : 05-05-2018 at 09:34 PM. |

that d'arcy video is some grade-A squirming, tiptoeing around the topic, and refusing to give any account of what happened via endless babbling rationalization. i honestly wonder if big will believes himself when he spurts all this diarrhea

You're looking at it through Billy's mind, but what would be in it for D'arcy? She's an iconic member of the band, and she wants to rejoin, but Billy had already decided that the ugly fat lard Jack Bates would take her spot. There's no discussion that D'arcy could even have, because the decision was already made. |

Does Lars have a podcast now? Everyone wants to be Rogan now I guess. Where can you watch the whole thing?

He also isn't giving specifics about offering to meet her face to face, she did. I'm not necessarily saying Billy is lying, but D'arcy laid out a specific example of an idea to meet she proposed to him that could have been great for them to bond on a personal level without any nonsense like negotiating contracts. Billy hasn't described any of his ideas to meet in person. If he could describe his take on what D'arcy mentioned about her coming to a show on his solo tour, I'd be interested in that, but the way D'arcy described it, it seemed like Billy never offered to have to her come to a specific show, he expected her to look up his tour dates online or something. I know for a fact D'arcy has not kept up with that kind of stuff in-depth in the last several years. Going on Alternative Nation the last few months is probably the most she's seen in a long time. During our interview she even asked me if John Frusciante was still in Red Hot Chili Peppers. She's just living her life. Last edited by WeilandFan : 05-05-2018 at 11:12 PM. |

As usual you have to glean the truth through the tiny facts Billy carelessly spits out amid his incessant bullshit. The quote he shares from Jimmy is very revealing by virtue of what is left out: “Well this whole thing makes it obvious why it was never gonna work...” It also gives you an idea of why Jimmy has been able to work with Billy successfully for so long. He validates Billy just enough to make him think, “Yeah!!!! Haha it was never gonna work cause Darcy is a bitch!!!” Yet he also doesn’t actually assign blame to either party, leaving Billy open to just as much blame. Jimmy knows Billy is too arrogant to see it that way though. So Jimmy gets in his dig but Billy still feels like he’s Donald Trump. Very smart actually. Go Jimmy! He’s a hustler.....going all the way back to the early days when he would disappear for days and “find every pimp hooker and drug dealer in atlanta in 24 hours.”

His rationalizations are the best. “I was never in the room with her we only talked on the phone.” Right. If that text conversation happened in person, everything would have made total sense and Darcy would be happy being Steven Adler. Not being in the same room is the problem, not you Billy.

What I don't understand is why Billy doesn't just roll the fucking dice and try it out with D'arcy.... If she implodes, then so be it... He's at where he is now, but with all the goodwill from the fans for appreciating his efforts in trying to make it work. Icing her out for fucking JACK BATES of all people isn't going to earn him any goodwill with his fans. |

Also gotta love the Kurt Cobain clip where he’s still bitter that no other musicians liked him in the 90s and goes on convincing himelf that the reason he wasn’t cool is that he was just better than everyone else. LOLLLLLL. Right Billy. The only reason you’re not cool is that you’re the greatest human being ever and everyone else is a piece of shit. Seriously shut the fuck up. And are you really arguing that the New York music scene is lazy?? NYC is the most competitive and cut throat city on the planet for musicians where only the very best survive. THE REASON NO ONE LIKES YOU IS YOU’RE AN ARROGANT FUCKING DOUCHE. All of your peers have been telling you this since 1992. When are you just going to listen?

Honest question:
If D'Arcy was physically and mentally able to play the bass and tour, do think Billy would pick someone else for this reunion? Taking in consideration it would probably be more lucrative with her. |

The way Billy treated her, he wanted D'arcy always only in for a small part. Otherwise he had shown more interest to meet her in the two years.
He didn't pick up James and D'arcy ten years ago, though it could have been more lucrative. Now to him James seems to be necessary, to make the brand Smashing Pumpkins more successfull again. But there could be other reasons too than to favour three guitarists, to still hold Jeff in the band... Also strange are his busy activies on his next solo project in the middle of the comeback tour. |

But both of them confirmed they were invited 10 years ago.

I still think the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
I think Darcy is experiencing the same feelings Billy was after the breakup. Hatred, rancor, resentment... it didn't help back then and it didn't help this time again. Billy couldn't trust D'arcy 100% with the whole reunion thing, but that made D'Arcy feel unimportant. It all went from "let's be a band again" to "focus on the tour" to "nothing", and in a very ugly way. I was 100% with D'arcy until I read the text messages and the interview. I'm 50/50 now. |

I could swear there was a thread with everthing that has been said in here before....
as for this tour being more lucrative with D'arcy - they do not have to pay Jack Bates nearly as much as an original member. |

And this cold be the reason why Jack Bates wants to quit the tour:
Not to be the uncomfortable argument for the beef between Billy and D'arcy, for the few bucks he would earn. To have to deal for the rest of your live, when you're going to your favorite football/soccer club (Manchester City -or was it United?), with D'arcy Wretzky fans ranting at you for having destroyed their dream of a real reunion of the band. By being a -nearly- better bass player than her... Last edited by Corgan's Bluff : 05-06-2018 at 09:33 AM. |
