I would rather have someone in my band that can do more than one thing rather than just be a backup singer. That's what's cool about female bassist/vocalists, you have the option any time you want but they can also contibute musically.

Pixies, My Bloody Valentine, Galaxie 500, Beat Happening, Silversun Pickups, The Smashig Pumpkins...

I love those bands because the bassists sing which is pretty, although Beat Happening never had a bassist but they all switched between singing, drumming and guitar. And MBV's Belinda played guitar.

I actually think I like The Breeders more than Pixies.
And "Gigantic" is the best Pixies song.

Kim Deal is the bomb diggity

The good news for Elphenor is that there is another member with titties. Corgan has bigger tittied than all the bassists combined.
Shut up cunt.

Sometimes when you have a vagina, the instrument just jumps out of your hands. It's tough.

Stop making excuses. The real reason is because girls are stupid.

To allow our boobs to grow, we have to give up a large part of our brain. It's tough.

Let's be honest, A certain mainstream appeal of the Pumpkins back in the day was that they had such an awesome, unique image... And this unusual, weird, unique looking band totally suited the unique, unusual, weird music... They just looked cool.

Most importantly, the line up absolutely ripped it live. Some people argued that the band didn't (sound like they do on the record live) but I thought the energy live was way better and it helped build a legacy between the 4 members.

The original lineup had everything going for it: Music, energy, stage show, personality. It's hard to find. It's these things that make bands like Kiss and Motley Crue so famous. If Motely Crue were just a bunch of personalityless nerds who played the most boring concerts I doubt there music would go over as well

Nowadays theres sweet little girl next door Nicole, That shy nerdy guy you see sitting on his laptop by himself at the local Starbucks Jeff, the nerdy awkward kid blabbing about the popular bands of the moment Mike.

The bands lost all the luster and mystery that the old band held

It's pretty lame to have super fans of Billy playing in The Pumpkins.
