I'd only go if the tour went really badly and I could get tickets for really cheap - just to see Jimmy and James, basically

But with the prices I assume they're charging now, fuck no

Her phone interview proved she's completely off the rails, nobody at that age with any sense of decorum would talk like that. I'm not surprised James doesn't speak to her or return her calls anymore.

Thoughts?

I agree.

I'm not taking sides with either of them, I'm 36 now

Vote based on what you are feeling now. I didn't give an undecided option because I wanted to know as directly as possible how many people this has actually alienated.

Skewing them how? That they will still go? I think a lot of the old time posters have stated they will still go as well. I was honestly curious as to the feelings of everyone, not just the evil Netphorian base.

I do think they should've talked way earlier, so they could work out an arrangement. This whole scenario was very abrupt.

I last saw Billy perform while he was heading Zwan and I see no reason to change that

I'd honestly rather see D'arcy do a one-woman spoken word show about all she's been through

It could be called HORSES AND HORSE: A LIFE

Yeah definitely,

Literally anything is possible in this day and age, I'm not just talking about SP

If she needs the money she may even show up, nothing surprises me anymore!

He's the rockstar you love to hate!

I imagine somewhere between watching a car crash and hoping everything turns around.

As things stand, if they ever make a movie of the Grunge scene, Corgan is Salieri.

Rawk star, the bigger question is why do you, as a sad machines super fan, spend time in a forum that hates him?

hate is a strong word. I don't hate that guy.

also I didn't realize actually loving music he was part of in the 90ies equates to one single person cult that you need to hate or love but hey, the longer I look at facebook, the more I get it!

I don't hate him but I hate a lot of things he does and the way he handles things.

pretty much yea. it's a mix of pity and disgust for me. until I actually hear the songs I love. that somehow - thankfully - is not connected to #BellyWelliam in my head, not any more.

along the lines of: thanks for the music, it became mine a long time ago - and what you do now or say, fuck you and all.

the second I hear hello kitty I don't think of this person or of anything he has done or said since then. thankfully. I had hate-breaks where I didn't listen to any songs I used to love for 5 years, I was incapable of hearing his voice and NOT connecting this pitiful boy to the songs. I can now.
(far less, still, last time I listened to sp for longer than 2 tracks in one go was when the adore reissue came out.) surprisingly I can go to gigs and enjoy them just fine, as long as I don't have a straight view to the stage lol.

up until very recently i was still following with some hope that he could create something enjoyable again.

but now im just fascinated how i could have been such a huge fan of something created by someone who's turned out to be a horrible disaster of a person. and watching someone's talent erode has a car crash quality.

i don't enjoy it, its just interesting. something to learn from personally, like how misguided my perceptions were of what SP was all along.

I'm never supporting anything Billy does ever again.

The only I'll go to a show is if we can get a group of netphorians to punk Billy by wearing our own Billy-mocking shirts and standing in the front row defiantly

Well said. I feel the same, except that I can't support him anymore by going to gigs and buying his records. It helps that the quality dropped so much.
