New band manager says reunion is all about the "artistic vision".
snippet:
All The Other Kids Are Doing It SPLASH! That's the sound of a wave of alternative-era acts hitting the surf. The Pixies' 2004 reunion tour was unexpectedly, enormously successful: a fact probably not lost on contemporaries like Dinosaur Jr., the Jesus and Mary Chain, the Smashing Pumpkins, the Happy Mondays and the many others who have since followed (or are following) suit. Even considering all that, 2007 does have an unprecedentedly thriving throwback circuit. Why? It depends on whom you ask. The Smashing Pumpkins' manager says in their case, it's all about the art. "They've had some amazingly big offers — some seven-figure ones to play certain shows — and [bandleader] Billy [Corgan] has passed on several because he didn't think it was the right thing for the band," said Paul Geary, manager of Pumpkins 2.0, who are nearly finished with a new album and will begin a reunion tour with European festival dates this summer (see "Smashing Pumpkins Drummer Offers More Clues About Forthcoming LP"). But despite those big offers, Geary said Corgan's motivation is not money but his artistic vision. "I've been involved with bands whose members can't stand each other, and over time they run out of dough and that's why they do it," he said. "But Billy's making a great record, and for the sake of a younger generation that he wants to turn on to the band's music, he is doing it with a band that will more faithfully re-create the old songs than ever before" (a pointed reference to the absence thus far of original Pumpkins guitarist James Iha and bassist D'Arcy Wretzky from this reunion). full article: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/155...31/index.jhtml |

this is an intriguing comment, isn't it:
"he is doing it with a band that will more faithfully re-create the old songs than ever before" does that imply new touring and/or future full-time band members have already been chosen? if they're dusting off old tunes you figure it has to be close to that time... |

from wiki:
Paul Geary (born 24 July 1963, in Medford, Massachusetts) was once the drummer for the hard rock band, Extreme. He was replaced in the group in 1994, by Mike Mangini. Paul Geary later worked as a manager for other musicians. Notable Bands he has managed or is currently mananging: Godsmack Cold Smashing Pumpkins from a godsmack forum: Paul Geary Management 92 High St Bsmt Medford, MA 02155 (781) 393-1951 so -- who wants to call him? if he didn't spill the beans to MTV, then i doubt he will to anyone else....but hey, you never know. i vote for a female with a sexy voice to give it a shot. |

I don't think that's his professional address....the band is signed with Irving Azoff's management firm. Geary's firm was usurped by it. |

-he's one of the best guitar players out there -he plays heavy -he can probably shred like a bitch, and there is supposed to be alot of shred on this record. -he's got similarly grandiose musical visions to bc so i'm sure they'd get on fairly well |

yeah i love matts heavy repetitive derivative popmetal, evolving by ripping off ideas from previous albums and using the production to make the songs sound more grandiose, he's the best, he's also one of the best guitarists out there from what i hear.
