Has Bill ever commented on the fact that he hired Jeff and Ginger as lookalikes?
Knowing how much Bill is focused on calculated aesthetics and obsessing over trying to recreate the past, has he ever said anything about why he hired an asian guitarist and a female bassist in 2007 to try surely convince casual fans who wouldn't know the difference?

yes, actually if you look at the interview from about a decade ago (brought to my attention by our very own incubator) you'll find this:

I wouldn't say Ginger was a look-alike at all, just another female bass player. In the old days Bill had spoken about how having a woman in the band was important, and they had already replaced D'arcy with another woman once.
Replacing James with a half-asian guy is weirder to me. I guess as cynical as I am about Corgan, I still want to think he didn't choose Jeff specifically because of his race. The two of them have a good chemistry as guitarists, and seem to genuinely like each other. Jeff has now been playing consistently with Billy for longer than any other musician in his life. |

According to interviews (Zeitgeist DVD I think) Jimmy picked them first, there was no intention to have an Asian and/or a girl in the band, it just happened. Before Ginger, they were playing with Eric Avery, but it didn't work out, then there was this girl called Jenny or something like that, and then Ginger.

Mark Tulin was killed specifically because he wasn't a hot female bassist and Corgan no longer had a use for him.

Only to find out that Voss has mind-controlling fluoride in it and switch to Acqua Panna.

This is the "shapeshifter" he was talking about on the podcast that time.
edit: Jeff / Ginger IS the shapeshifter. Last edited by enthusaroo : 05-23-2020 at 11:41 PM. |

Yes, my dad can confirm this.
Btw, Buttpope also calls him "babe," amongst other things ("Honey-bun," "stud munchkin," "BBB" [bubble-butt-boy] etc etc). |

I have never really gotten Jeff. Like, he has absolutely zero stage presence and really comes off as unmusical. Jeff is as absurd of a hire as Mike was.
