This band belonged to us... Whatever they do now belongs to Billy alone. |

i mean i guess i feel for ya though.
growing up with those 4 people and seeing these new people on stage under the same name playing the same songs must be weird. the good thing for me like, being younger and all, is that these new pumpkin members are my pumpkins. i'd be sad to see jeff and ginger and lisa go. but go on remembering the good ole days. its sad to think that you will never get em bakc. god i wish i woulda seen them in pittsburgh in 99 fuck my life |

i just feel bad for billy because no matter what they do, they seem to be always getting negative press and reviews. The band that they have now performs wonderfully, yet people always compare and contrast to the old band and the old ways and the old sets and the old everything. The guy is in a lose lose situation and i genuinely feel bad for him. no matter how hard he tries, 50% of his fan base, let alone the media, is here to bring him down.

I think for those of us in the anti "new" pumpkins crowd, its mostly about not who is in the band, but they way it was done. If Billy came out and said he invited James/Darcy back and actually explained how it was done, then it would have been ok. Instead, he keeps quiet about it, James is quoted as saying he never talked to billy, Bill never mentions them, doesn't bother mentioning the new bandmates during the first shows, speaks badly about James/Darcy (we were 98% of the music anyway), complains about people asking him about James/Dracy, says that they were always "his" band, and that the band was always an "idea" and not the people in it (something like that), finally says that james was only interested in money and darcy wouldn't even talk to them (later on Jimmy says they both wouldn't even talk to them period , so which is it), and so on. I mean, dude just had to be up front from the start and not act like it was him, and him alone that got him to the top. No matter what, he fucked it up from the start, and his complete lack of respect for what James/Darcy help him achieve is what turn me away from the band for good. The fact the music wasn't good and that his lyrics seem to have gone downhill also didn't help.
I've talked this topic to death, but If Billy could have just shown a little more class, that would have gone a long way at the start. You don't see James/Darcy going out and talking shit, he shouldn't have either. |

This thread has little to do with James and D'arcy. It has to do with a different type of band.

On topic. Musically the band is great live nowadays. You would've never in a million years heard SP play Iron Maiden riffs back in the James Iha days. Having members who care about becoming the best musicians they can possibly be is a real plus for the band. But Billy is quite out of it these days. He could finally write grandious guitar symphonies without the fear of his band not being able to execute them live. There's so much potential for the band, yet we're treated with GLOW and FOL. Desperately trying to score a hit. Let go, Bill. Deal with SP being a smaller band now and concentrate on writing the best music music you can possibly make. There's no fucking way he thinks FOL is on par with the level of quality SP's name used to stand for. |

Man, who the fuck cares... James and Darcy stopped post-MCIS, really.
It is amazing the original four managed to tolerate each other for as long as they did. Really, it is, and they should all be commended for it if anything. There's nothing wrong with what this board calls "SP2" if we are talking strictly personnel. Jeff especially is a nice addition to the band. |

I don't even care about the old pumpkins anymore. That's how far removed I am from this bullshit.

The band pictured is not the band now. If that's still your band, then you probably shouldn't be here.
