Default Bill, just get Jimmy and do 25th anniversary tour.

All said in the title, if he had any common sense, he would do it...

As much as I'd like to see Jimmy at the anniversary Metro show - what makes you think he'd be interested?

Again Billy needs to just go out with Jeff and do a intimate retrospective thing of his entire career. It's the only thing I would pay to see at this point. Follow the lead of Mould and Mascis.

not sure if he would be interested, but I definately am. on one side bringing Jim back is the only way to preserve SP for us, the fans as well as sparing Bill further Byrne embarrasment, on the other hand Smashing Pumpkins is a band that rose to its stardom mainly through Bill, Jimmy, D'arcy and Iha contribution, not to underestimate they highlights the had in 2007-08 era (that often goes underestimated).

Having Byrne there would clearly pull some more mud over Smashing Pumpkins brand.

btw, I ment in this topic they shall do a propper 25th anniversary tour, not just gig and abandon Oceania tour or do it after they cut it short.

Oh and he needs to play music and tell fun stories. No playing the heel. No spitting, No chemtrails. No James Iha pissed in my cornflakes. No you guys are asshole for liking certain songs. No 20 minute psych freakout jam...

It's not a 25th anniversary show without at least one other original member, no matter if Billy still calls it SP.

I seriously want to know if he has the balls to promote it as such with Mikey and everyone. I mean, really.

There were no "original" members for the 20th anniversary. You can play that silly semantics game endlessly.

I do love Jimmy's sound, and of course I would want to see the two doing a show together again.
But how the hell should Billy even try that? "Hey Mikey, nice having you, but you have a night off for the anniversary show, Jimmy is taking your place."
As for doing a full tour - he'd have to kick out Mikey for that. Permanently.
Not that he hasn't kicked out other guys before, but I think he has no desire to repeat that.
not that he should thank us all endlessly for bringing up that idea...

Mike should've been out the day he came in

nah man, this is totally against Billy's mindset for the Smashing Pumpkins. he is paranoid about the merest hint of nostalgia, and as for "preserving" SP, that boat sailed a long time ago, he thinks if the band isn't always moving forward, to the next new thing, it will die - kinda like a shark.

lol@"underestimated 2007-8 era" good one

sounds like Utopia. Billy forms a supergroup with Malkmus, Dando and Kim Deal before this happens!

I don't care who Billy tours with, as long as the music sounds good.

And unfortunately, Byrne makes all of the music sound like horse shit.

So, get Jimmy and right this ship, Billy.

i hope he at least tells some fun stories about the band's past, instead of the ones where he takes the piss out of d'arcy and james.

Remember in the 20th anniversary shows, he said something like "It's not about looking at the past, it's about looking at where we are now and realizing, wow, we made it this far?"

Yeah, "we", as in you and the rest of the band being broken up for seven years, with one original member who was going to leave you in a few months, along with your temporary bassist.

Why can't he just leave all the SP rockstar crap behind him and produce a quality singer/songwriter solo album? The dude's 46, for fuck's sake.

Some of the (Djali) Zwan stuff was excellent, he's obviously still a great songwriter.

Apparently he has one from a couple of years ago, more folk style/finger-picking or something. Maybe it will see the light of day after the next sp album.

would you be referring to the Chicago Songs? Didn't we get little clips of some of those songs where he was setting up playing in a church? I think he even played some of them at the poetry readings.

A 25th Anniversary Tour is pointless, particularly this close to the shit show that was the 20th Anniversary Tour. If they must celebrate, do something like play one or two nights and bite the bullet and have James and Jimmy come out for some songs. Hell, he could even have the current lineup tag along if he really felt like it.
