@xocoleyf Nicole I must know at this point, will you be playing on the next SP record? Hope to hear something soon.

[The Omega Concern]

Interesting choice. I would guess Billy is not done with chunky drop D riffs just yet.

[amoergosum]

Tell us about the new album, Oceania

"The band as a whole worked on that on a creative level. Billy and I have been making music since I got hired. We're working on the overarching project Teargarden by Keildyscope which is the free 44-song deal. Billy and I have been making music since I got hired. I'd never been in a real professional studio so I had to learn the ticks of the trade and make it sound articulate like Jimmy was capable of doing."

Were you using a click?

"We did the whole record click free. There's stuff that's programmed but any time you hear acoustic kit is all click-less, which was a real interesting challenge but it makes the pockets seem much more natural. I'll be honest there were moments I was banging my head against the wall but I think the overall feel of the album benefits from it. I enjoyed having a freedom and pocket on the record, it's got a Zep-vibe in that way."

What's on the horizon for the Pumpkins?

"We have this record dropping in March. As a rule this band is bored of the traditional system of drop a record, play behind the record, same old song and dance. Around March you'll start seeing us again, we're not sure how exactly we'll promote the record but it'll be something extravagant."

I'm actually looking forward to hearing something Billy is making (for once).

* Outside producer? Check.
* Pro drummer? Check.

Hopefully he'll be doing the bass too.

I'd really like if Billy would address the absence of Mike and Nicole"

[Funbags]

Billy kinda fails at human relations, huh.

[Spira|_]

I am happy mike is out, at least seems as.

For other side listening the couple of videos posted here, I hate the style tommy plays and tbh the sound out of his drums reminds me mike's rotten sound...

And I just hope billy is not doing a black sabath or hair metal or dad rock sound style album...because the drummer for it he already has. Oh poor fuck...

[Cool As Ice Cream]

billy's gone hair metal for years now

and maybe mike isn't really out

[Lucky Day Spa]

three drummers at once

[Bread Regal]

Most ridiculous SP news in a while.

[Funbags]

Twist: he's actually using a midi kit so Billy can trigger drum samples when he gets back to Chicago.

[amoergosum]

Mike's Twitter profile...it's kind of weird that he hasn't deleted the SP link...it takes you right to the Tommy Lee update >>>

Mike Byrne
@MikeByrneDrums

Drummer for Smashing Pumpkins

[amoergosum]

And it's weird that he hasn't added "Drummer for Bearcubbin'!" ...I mean...that's the band he's definitely in right now...does that not piss off his bandmates?

[Lucky Day Spa]

he probably has other things to focus on

but if you want to put some structure around your hunches, this might help:

he probably hasn't added that cause nobody gives a shit about Bearcubbin

[Ram27]

He probably doesn't even think about that...I never look at my profile bio thing.

He'll get around to it sometime.

[DuoSonic]

This is frustrating because they actually felt like a band. Since the reunion of the Pumpkins, it felt like Billy with some hired guns on stage until this lineup. A band that actually recorded an album together, interacted on stage together, and looked like they were having fun. I don't get what's happening.

[MyOneAndOnly]

I doubt we'll see Tommy on stage with bill. This seems like its probably just a studio thing.

[Ram27]

Remember when people didn't like Jimmy because of the heroin and being all 'dark'?

Look at this fucker.

And JC had the chops to make up for it

[HereIsNoWhy4U]

He should have just gotten another experienced jazz drummer.

Or, if he really wanted a metal drummer, go with Dave Lombardo. He's available, and has worked with John Zorn, so he has the jazz chops to pull it off.

I think Billy should follow his muse wherever it takes him
