Just so you have both sides of the story, the band said Darcy "has repeatedly been invited out to play with the group, participate in demo sessions, or at the very least, meet face-to-face, and in each and every instance she always deferred."

James has been secretly practising the hits in his bedroom in front of a mirror for the last 15 years just waiting for this moment.

Brett talked to D'arcy four hours and rearranged the parts he published.

As I said, it is well documented by the "infamous" text messages that D'arcy hadn't been invited to the studio last January.
The group statement was an answer by the management on an inquiry of several magazines after D'arcy released those messages. Without specific explanations when and how they tried to meet her.

D'arcy has no contact to Jimmy Chamberlin since 1999.
James Iha doesn't respond to her since somewhere in the last two years.
The only one she had frequently contact with, via phone and mostly text messages, was Billy Corgan. Not the band...

Yeah. I can believe that as well, but still..
Why was Billy in such a rush to get this tour off the ground when the band hadn't even played together? I mean its not like this tour HAD to be in 2018 to coincide with the 30th anniversary that covers the bands entire history, they're just playing songs from 91' to 00' after all. Why not wait until 2019 when you might actually have a band.

And why has Corgan just all the solo activities going, instead of concentrating to get the band in good shape again?

It just seems from the outside that Billy put in more time and effort into rehearsing and working with Nicole and Mike in 2010-2013 than with James and D'arcy within the last year.

I pointed this out a month ago. He dosen't want to do the tour anymore. The last time he gave a shit was the night before tickets went on sale when he was posting about how nervous and excited he was. The darcy shit hit, sales are meh, and he wants to take his toys and go home but he can't. He's going to bitch and moan and half-ass his way through the contract.

His solo album recordings started before that tho. According to the interview with Lars, they didn't make plans for the reunion, they are playing America and then if there's any interest, they will bring it somewhere else.

They are probably rehearsing now or at least preparing for tree tour. Jack is not touring with his dad anymore:

People forget Corgan never went to college and only read 3-4 post-modern books to be able to get passed as somewhat of a sensible intellectual. Dude is pseudo/faking it all the way to the pretend top.

JACK IS OUT

Quote:
You’re doing the Smashing Pumpkins reunion tour in place of D’arcy. There’s been some controversy around that online, have you found yourself in the firing line.

I’ve played with them a few times before ‘cause I’m mates with Jimmy. He’s sound like. Me dads known them for years. I don't pay no mind to this online stuff but I'm not doing the tour now anyhow.


Really? What happened?

Their guys said the old bass player didn’t want to do it but then there was all this drama on the old tinternet like Billy had messed her about a bit and she did want to do it. They got me because I would do it cheaper and I’m no fuss like. I wasn’t having any of that. I’m not eating another bassists dinner and I told them that. Billy got well mad and even called me dad.


He called your dad? (note: Jacks father is the legendary Joy Division / New Order bassist Peter Hook)

Yeah I was round me dads at the time. We were having a pint of best, watching some videos. Women trying to park, like the one where some birds trying reverse into a space and she flips the whole car over. Anyway the phone goes off and it’s Billy Corgan ranting and raving about contracts. Me dads just laughing at him and telling him where to go, he doesn’t take any crap from sixers. Then he puts me on and I tells Billy he’s calling the wrong bass player and maybe he should call the lass who used to play bass for him and apologise for being a swanny dickhead.


So you’re contractually obliged to perform with the Smashing Pumpkins?

I don’t care about any of that mate. I aint eating another bass players dinner, I just told you that and I told him that. He can come up here and talk about contracts if he likes I wont pay it no odds, I didn’t sign anything. Little prick will be going home in an ambulance. He sent me a letter because he’s too scared to come up and see me or me dad. I’m not taking anything off a six stringer. One punch, end of.


What did the letter say?

Oh I never seen anything like it in all my days. It started with “For whom it may concern”. The daft twat was writing to me, he knows me name but he wants to be all fancy like. For whom it may concern. Fucking hell. He said a load of guff about how big his bollocks are and that I don’t understand the powers I’m messing with and he can grow hair if he wants to, I don’t know what thats got to do with the price of milk. He’s puddled as a duck, if he lived round here he’d get sectioned. I’ll send it you, it’s bonkers.


Have you responded to the letter?

No I don’t know how you’d reply to a letter like that. I showed it me dad and we got a good laugh out of it. I dunno how you respond to a guy like that. He’s offering me out like he’s Hulk Hogan and saying all this nonsense like. I’d just send back two words “get help”. It’s the two extra strings I reckon it can turn some blokes nuts. Same thing happened to Barney.

If the radio stations have started receiving the song, I imagine it will drop this Friday.
