Ogilala and the accompanying tour has had a warm enough "aura" around it to make me feel like this may actually be something incredible, especially with certain things Billy has done or acknowledged - of course this could be a classic case of falling for it once again but hey, what's the worst that could happen?

i don't think the original 4 could let themselves put out shitty music after an 18 year hiatus |

Fuck man, just a new album with JC would be awesome. But to have the whole band together again, how could you not be stoked? I can't believe the negative reactions I'm reading from people. Lighten up!
Sure Z had it's issues, but BC seemed to fix a lot of those problems with Oash and Monuments, the only problem with those is the performances weren't that good. A new album from the OG lineup has a high probability of kicking ass! I'm officially excited |

2019 interview:
"I was all set to do a reunion waiting for it to be inked, Jimmy told some Uber driver about and the next day I went online like an idiot and everyone was talking how it was going to suck so I canceled it." |

Original line up seems cool- but i doubt that the album will be enjoyable- billys voice changed too much - i guess the mix will be the most important thing

But yeah, a reunion record could be good with the right producer involved. Please, please, please don't let it be Rick Rubin. I hope they go with someone with a little more connection with the original band like Butch Vig, though I'd prefer Flood. It needs to feel like a family reunion in that studio. No outsiders, no strangers. Last edited by MyKeyZ : 11-13-2017 at 01:59 PM. |

I mentioned this in another thread over the summer, but I would pay good money for videos of rehearsal of any future reunion tour. Can you just imagine Billy?
"Hey Jimmy, Mike played a pretty tough part on "Quasar." Let me know if you need any help figuring it out." "D'arcy. Good to see you. Did you get the bass line for "Widow Wake My Mind" down? It has a lot of notes. "James, you should check out Jeff's e-bow work on "Tonight,Tonight." It was absolutely groundbreaking. |

I don't get why some people here care so much about "the charts". Seems silly. I've never looked up an album and gone "that only placed #153 in the Billboard 200? Ha!"
The guy put out a decent, (mostly) tasteful album, is playing great setlists, and seems to have a newfound appreciation for his audience. In 2017 that should be successful enough |

We, like you, don't give a shit about charts, but b/c it matters so fucking much to bill, it's comical that ogilala has done so poorly when it comes to sales |

Billy also recently said he is feeling very open to working with other people (in terms of production) which is a very very good thing.

"The difficulty is working out how this music fits in the world. It’s not easy to get on the radio and all those traditional things - it's hard to market. My great hope is that it will be well enough received that it’ll allow me to do another record." |

As others pointed out, Corgan finally seems to be happy with his place in the music world, seems to fully embrace his legacy and back catalog, and seems open to a reunion of the classic Smashing Pumpkins lineup. From all accounts, the Ogilala shows have been fun and friendly. I'll take any of this over playing Oceania to empty arenas with Mike Byrne on drums. that weird 2014 lineup with Mark Stoermer and Brad Wilk, or any tour where the audience has to endure "Run2Me." |

I definitely understand any skepticism that comes along with Billy Corgan at this point in the journey, but if we can't be optimistic about the prospects of him making a new record with Jimmy, James and Darcy then what's the point of even being a fan?
Sure, it's more than likely that it wont live up to SD and MCIS, but I think they can make some compelling music together that is worth hearing... And really, Billy's voice has been better on OASH and Monuments... It's only when he's on a long tour that the voice really seems to crap out ( I was listening to a few tracks from the Oash DVD the other night and god... he sounds like shit) |

Even if his voice was fucked in the old days, it still sounded good in a way
Even on good days now it's still bad |

When Jimmy rejoined the band in 2015, I would have accepted him playing on Oceania stuff. But I agree, now that we potentially have the classic lineup back, the only post-2000 songs I'd be interested in seeing live would be any recordings they make next year.
