they equate SP as the greatest music of all time so all albums can’t possibly fail.

Wow, I thought even the most hardcore of Pumpkins apologists admitted Teargarden was - at absolute best - mediocre. Even people who loved Zeitgeist, Oceania, and Monuments to an Elegy seem to admit 2009-2011 were lean years. Billy himself admitted this a few times.

even if that's their (incorrect and delusional) opinion, how can you rank anything in a meaningful way if everything is 10/10? does every single album have to be your favorite simultaneously and forever?

a few of them went as far as to say it's like their own kids, they simply can't pick a favorite. they're all special in their own way.
I mean, ok. but Hummer vs. Widow Wake My Mind? which of those two songs do you think new SP will be playing on the anniversary tour? |

The group Sad Machines is the one we're all talking about. I don't have much of a big problem with any of them but they do tend to get a little 'McGoo' about Bill & co.

Hasn't D'arcy's old boyfriend Patrick and engaged Sad Machines-FB member given any comment on Linda Strawberry's ranting about D'arcy? He once told D'arcy to be more healthy than ever...

At least BILLY got his SAD MACHINES shirt for free as a gift. And definitively the ugliest of their three...

Tired of being strung along, teased by the carrot of D'arcy's vicious bass playing. What are they going to do without her 4-string attack? Resurrect Charlie Mingus?

Man, there's a bunch of babies on this thread. Oh no D'arcy! How can they play without D'arcy??!! Some of you feel pretty strongly about her bass playing, like she's Jaco Pastorius or something so I won't mention that.
One of two things are happening: 1- this is all bullshit to get the D'arcy rules contingent (i.e. this thread) really worked up and she will be part of it 2 - She is an absolute train wreck of a person that is in no shape for the whirlwind they are about to embark on. One would hope her reclusive behavior was indicative of a smart, level-headed individual who just wanted to escape the public hustle and bustle for the quiet, bucolic life in the hills of -er, um- Michigan. But, more than likely, she is crazy. She was a bumbling, stammering crackhead in the 90s. Who knows what shape she is in now. She's been absent from the spotlight for almost 20 years and the only things you hear about her are crazy. DUI, crack possession, her horses running wild through the town (as if a crackhead owned them), and her bizarre Facebook posts. Even this latest bit of news ended with a rambling think-out-loud crackhead excuse. Her Facebook pst where she blames someone for hacking her page sounds like one of those pitches you get from gas station drug addicts trying to bum money from you. Would you want to bring that on tour? They're not dicks if she is unhealthy The 3 of them making new music and touring under the name SP is worth it. Yes, she is an original and was sort of cool, but she really couldn't keep up musically and every bass player since has been a fine replacement. It would be a better show with Melissa or Paz I hope I'm wrong, but I think she's, um ... unfit to move forward and that would be hard for the band to announce publicly Last edited by KissesandNoise : 01-24-2018 at 07:45 PM. |

I am serious. It is a good song. Even better than Towers. D'arcy biggest contribution - other than her visible nipples in the Adore era - was that she had good taste. Her involvement would probably reduce 30% of the music since 2000 - or at least steer it in a different direction. Without her and possibly James to restrain Billy and Jimmy they turn into a prog rock band, which is less palatable than just a smidge of prog. I didn't realize their intangible contributions until much later

Paz will never play with Billy again. Remember they were seemingly an item judging from the pictures around the time and video of them being really cozy, and then she banged Pajo and BC went shitless and blew up Zwan. They should have never had her join Zwan in the first place, they were fine as a four piece.

She is the best bassist he's recorded with though. The Zwan bass lines are more melodic and have their own voice as opposed to the traditional SP method of strumming along with the guitar. Her backing vocals are great too |

I've been trying to get back in for weeks. I've answered the stupid questions but still can't get in. They have 3 admins, but nothing. Last time I was in there the cringe was so bad. It reminded me of everyone in the old AMSP early Netphoria days when the band was good and relevant and people actually cared. Only thing is they are now acting that way over the current band and it just makes me laugh and feel bad for them.
