Partway through the set announce that they're gonna be playing a chunk from Siamese Dream and that they have a special guest to join them... D'arcy walks out and the arena busts into pandemonium. D'arcy could work out a statement beforehand saying "I haven't been into music for so long, playing a 2 and half hour set with a revolving set list each night just seemed like too daunting of a task for me, but an invite to play 5 or 6 of the classics each night was too good of an offer to refuse" It would be a win win situation for everyone. You can sell it as a reunion, D'arcy gets vindicated and is embraced by the fans once again and you literally have no risk for the band... Surely she could manage to play the same 5 songs each night.
nice fantasy. or they could have her play bass but let her play simplified parts if she needs to, and pad the bass parts with a third guitarist (jeff)

see, i can wildly speculate as well!

"confidential information" lol, this isn't top secret government information. no one has the de facto right over information

Well there's often confidentiality agreements that are involved with big deals like this, thus making the information confidential. Look I think any legal action against her would be flimsy, but it's easy to understand why she would have backtracked after seemingly being bombarded by B0lly's legal threats.

Wildly speculate? D'arcy came out and spilled the beans. I'm speculating about nothing. I'm simply offering an alternative option since B0lly obviously didn't think D'arcy would work out.

Jeeze, you're sounding like one of those "Sad Machine" members.

all we know is what one person said to some 5th rate website

to create these overlong fantasies of what happened and if billy strung her along or not or if they tried to make it work and she can't even stand up straight, we have no idea. i honestly barely care at this point, never expected it to happen at all. but like this pretending we have all this information when it's really one tidbit of info passed around in an echo chamber

fwiw I don't think it's a definite D'arcy is out yet. I know for a fact that when they were pitching the reunion last fall, it was for all four original members. If she doesn't appear, I imagine it'll be for reasons out of Billy's control: her health & her ability to play (& I don't mean by Billy's insane standards - I mean standard arena rock bass playing). We haven't heard from her in years, and when we have, it's been troubling. Rambling phone calls, arrested for letting her horses lose. Unrecognizable via plastic surgery.

I don't think Billy is eager to shove D'arcy out of the picture. I actually think he'd put up with a fair amount more from her than most other people.
Dude, if she's gonna make a statement like that, she's definitely out.

She'd do the tour cause they'd pay her well to do it. And I'm not talking about just a few songs, have a segment during the set where she plays a half hour worth of the classics and send her off to mass applause. I can imagine that the boys might wanna do some more experimental stuff, and it could be hard for D'arcy.

The simple point I'm making is that it's bad buisness not to i nclude her in some way or another.

I agree with what you're saying. Which is why I'm proposing a low risk, high reward solution. You have her along for an abbreviated set and you keep her along on tour as a special guest and if she doesn't keep her shit together, then oh well.

To me it seems the concern is that she wouldn't be reliable as a full fledged member... With my proposition, it hits 2 birds with one stone.

GNR was willing to do a similar thing with Adler, but then he started bitching about wanting to do more than 2 songs and they just said to hell with him. But apparently he was getting big money just to appear.

Was just going to post this. All he had to do was get D'arcy on stage in some shape or way and people would be twice as excited.

Maybe you guys should stop "she" in reference to D'Arcy. A lot of your comments, though well-meaning, are insulting. You know what other musician hasn't played in the smashing pumpkins since 2000? James. Are you questioning his ability? And everyone here are some dimwits entire to sit here and just judge people's place in life or their mental health.
What fucking sound decision has Bollz made since....?
Stop judging her by how the truth came out.

James has been playing arenas in a lot bigger band (A Perfect Circle) than what BC/JC have had in years. Apart from that he has done production work, a solo album, remixes etc etc. If anything, he's the most accustomed to handling a big comeback tour out of any of them.

wat sexism?

it's not because she's a she that she's a drug addict crazy plastic faced burn out that maybe can't play music anymore
it's cause d'arcy's a drug addict crazy plastic faced burn out that she can't play music anymore.

but they should still let her be in the band. rock bands need drug addict crazy plastic faced burn outs.
The Smashing Pumpkins needs drug addict crazy plastic faced burn outs now more than ever.

No doubt. Instead we'll get some fresh-faced "eye-candy" to fill the D'arcy role. Chick bassist number 7 for B0lly... Total Spinal-Tap shite

You're right, they do seem to jump on you if you have any less than perfect things to say or criticize about b0lly and company. I am in fact a member there and they do have great discussions. Yes, they are a bit much at times, but hey..its no different than here. I've grown to love you bunch of negative assholes. I like the constructive criticism and how nothing is sugar coated here. So there's that I guess.

Darcy isn't attractive anymore and if you're female and unattractive and talentless to boot, there's no place for you in rock 'n' roll. Unless you're Courtney Love. Sad but true.

you wrote "seemingly bombarded by B0lly's legal threats" and then call someone out for wildly speculating.

you also say "B0lly obviously didn't think D'arcy would work out" when you have absolutely no clue as to what the real story is.

calm down. you're giving me flashbacks to the over-caring fans back in the 90s.

I’ve just discovered that they’ve banned me there. And I believe it has to do with me rating teargarden 0/10, and blocking a guy that harassed me over it.

Everyone else rated all of the records 10/10, lowest usually being 8/10. Beyond obnoxious.
