What question do you have for Billy?

ilikeplanets · 03-22-2023, 02:08 PM

Corrine Lovenutz is going to be collecting questions from SP's socials for a Q&A. Let's use this opportunity to avoid getting lost in that shuffle, because we all know she prowls around here. What kind of burning questions do you have?

Forgotten Child · 03-22-2023, 02:38 PM

Did you stop worrying good music when you lost your hair?

This is unfair because he wrote a few great batches of songs after succumbing to a life of baldness

It was the societal reaction to his new form that atrophied his talents and took approx a decade to fully set in (thefutureembrace)

it was also infamously asked by Stephan Oldsal of Placebo back in '96 - even then, Hero Billy's response was suspect!

TheAlter · 03-22-2023, 03:14 PM

Why didn't you sing 1979?

phang · 03-22-2023, 03:26 PM

Why don't you just play Siamese Dream?

VoxUpDoc · 03-23-2023, 08:41 AM

Why are you such a dingus?

Release the archives on bandcamp / CD, you mad man.

NovaFritz · 03-23-2023, 10:30 AM

When did you stop trying?

If I were to go with an actual question, it would be this. What is his reasoning for releasing the archive projects exclusively on vinyl? Honestly, part of my thinks he's afraid that the numbers for his archival material would be higher than some of his new material.

I think it's worse than that. He's afraid that the numbers for his archival material will be less, because it's taken far too long and no one cares any more.

absof · 03-23-2023, 04:11 PM

is that why he will never play a festival that they’re on?

Disco King · 03-23-2023, 05:37 PM

You really think SP media people are going to field questions from the website be hates? The Bald Lord probably specifically instructed her not to accept any questions from Netphoria.

Your best bet is to ask them on Reddit, TikTok, and Instagram.

Of course not. This is my sense of humor. Aren't you laughing?

Disco King · 03-23-2023, 05:40 PM

And the questions probably have to be carefully worded so that he can't possibly interpret them as attacks.

Like, if you were to ask him what motivated him to change his vocal style from Zwan onward without offering a negative assessment of his current vocal style, he would probably still go "are you trying to say I can't sing like I used to? Because I can sing like I used to. I could make old Pumpkins music. I just don't want to. You're a Siamese Zombie stuck in the past. Blocked."

by this point i'm not entirely sure he wouldn't view even, say, Monuments as "the pass"

"hey Bill how was it recording w/ Tommy Lee?"

"What like a hundred years ago? don't remember. #blocked"

I literally asked him this on an early IG q&a. I said that I loved the sighing singing he used to do. And he replied "Used to do? Before the alien took over this body?"

inkless · 03-24-2023, 07:43 AM

Could you try to be the best rock band again ?

ilikeplanets · 03-23-2023, 06:11 PM

I do think Corrine will see this thread, though. Hi Corrine! Can you hook me up with some ZuZu tea?

Machinist · 03-23-2023, 09:54 PM

Is spiteface a song or a philosophy for life?

wHATcOLOR · 03-24-2023, 12:21 AM

i no longer have any questions for billy

Machinist · 03-24-2023, 01:22 AM

I'd probably ask this:

Could we have kippers for breakfast?
Mummy dear, Mummy dear?
They gotta have 'em in Texas
'Cause everyone's a millionaire
I'm a winner, I'm a sinner
Do you want my autograph?
I'm a loser, what a joker
I'm playing my jokes upon you
While there's nothing better to do, hey!

VoxUpDoc · 03-24-2023, 04:48 AM

Why don’t you let Jimmy and James contribute tracks to a new Pumpkins record?
Get in a room and jam with them?
Given James and Jimmy’s solo records clearly showed they contributed massively to SP1.0.

houseofglass11 · 03-24-2023, 09:46 AM

Not a question, but a request. Please stop using synths. Like just stop.

Signed,
Everyone with ears

SomaPhreak · 03-24-2023, 02:36 PM

If you hate your 90's work other than Adore that much, isn't the artistically right choice to stop playing those songs live?

Funbags · 03-24-2023, 09:11 PM

What happened to your book?

Butt Pope · 03-24-2023, 09:38 PM

You down to clown, Billy?

Butt Pope · 03-24-2023, 09:39 PM

Favorite sexual position 1993 vs favorite in 2023?

Machinist · 03-25-2023, 06:10 AM

How many albums from now will you be calling us chumps for enjoying ATUM?

VoxUpDoc · 03-25-2023, 09:31 AM

Is The Frog’s ‘Hot Coq Annie’ about Billy’s liaison with a lizard shapeshifter?

Straight guy so shook by trans dick he becomes a cryptozoologist.

phang · 03-25-2023, 09:47 AM

Billy, is Monte okay?
