Mikey's old blog is so soul crushing to read in retrospect

this lineup actually had the potential to be something relatively new-sounding and dare i say... "hip"
biggest caveat wasn't Byrne, it was Corgan's croaking & lame lyrics. musically they were kinda cool Last edited by Mals Marola : 08-30-2019 at 02:17 PM. |

I mean, I remember the general consensus, among mainstream music publications and the forums, was that "A Stitch in Time" was actually one of the strongest songs he'd written in years (at the very least since Zwan, if not the last days of SP1). Unfortunately, it was sandwiched between "Widow Wake My Mind" and "Astral Planes." |

Oceania would have been a classic amongst the the other classics imo if it had better drums. Jimmy obviously would've been the ultimate but jesus why not just hire Matt Walker for recording and just have bam bam do the touring? |

I still find Corgan’s lightly veiled swipe at Mikey via praising Tommy Lee (“doesn’t need coaching”) epic.
Yeah, he needed some coaching Bill. You hired a teenage McDonald’s employee. |

It’s not actually sad. This kid has the time of his life playing in a huge rock band. I suppose it’s a little melancholy that it all ended. Mikey’s never gonna have an experience like this again. But certainly better to have done it for a couple years than not at all.

If Billy met Bryne when he met Jimmy... alternate universe. End of discussion.

Eh, I sort of side with Billy. You're in the biggest band you could ever hope to be in. Like even in the days of the early 2010's touring on the Pumpkins level is rare for bands, even great bands. What does Nicole and Bammy do? They wanna jam in the slums with their buddies. Look at Jeff, he didn't stray and is still on the mighty SP's payroll to this day.

Nicole: "We went there to write the record that I was on with them...Oceania...we went to Sedona, Arizona to write, so Meg came along with me."
Interviewer: "That band (SP) writes together???" Nicole: "Ehhhhhhh....well, that's tricky." Interviewer: "You don't have to talk about it." Nicole: [laughing] "...that was tricky...we tried!...we definitely tried." Meghan Toohey: "It didn't quite work out for them but for me it was like a carthardic experience." --- 2012: “The whole thing fell apart when Mike told me we had to cancel because Billy Corgan was like, ‘Oh, we have to be doing demos in Los Angeles during the time that you’re supposed to be on tour.’ And he told him super last minute in Portugal. So I had to cancel all the dates,” Scott says. “And the crappy thing is they didn’t even go to do demos. Mike was home during the time we were supposed to go on tour.” For his part, Scott doesn’t begrudge Byrne’s dominance of the band’s schedule. Thankfully, Scott isn’t just wasting away when Byrne is traversing the globe with Corgan and company. He studies electrical engineering at the University of Portland and eventually plans to use what he’s learning to build amps and pedals. For now, Scott is fine being “that guy in the band with The Smashing Pumpkins drummer.” “I do my best not to trade on his name and be like, ‘Hey, he’s in The Smashing Pumpkins, so we deserve this.’ I do my best not to use his job as a way to launch this band,” Scott says, starting to laugh. “Because I really think that people who are into The Smashing Pumpkins would f---ing hate Bearcubbin’.” https://www.inlander.com/spokane/the...nt?oid=2139020 |

Maybe mike destroyed his own chances. Jumping in to that audition at 19 years old, clearly not ready... always a few steps behind for that entire 4 years. I swear billy hired a 19 year old nobody to just piss jimmy off.. if there was any diabolical intent on his side. Mike was just too starstruck to know better. |

Also, if it actually panned out and by some miracle mike had been capable to do the job, big willie could dominate and control him in a way he could never do with a peer like jimmy It was a pretty solid ploy for an evil genius, really |
