dear billy, how weak is the kool aid because some of your douchebag fans have been drinking it for quite a while and it doesn't seem like it's doing anything.

Ginger,

Why do you dislike gay people and believe they are going to hell?

some example. hummer hadn't been played since 1995. you, a "casual fan during MCIS", probably saw it approximately 0 times in its heyday. it doesn't take overkill to top that.

but i simply meant... they just put an album out last year and an ep this year, and you're like "why aren't these guys in the studio". with zeitgeist/gossamer/superchrist/residency songs/american gothic/g.l.o.w., i've hardly felt like there's been any shortage of new material amongst the back catalogue in these tours.

and besides, we've seen billy talking up their sort-of-plans for the next album-thing already, so... things seem to be on track to me.

bad example i know. the point was that we were hearing 13 year old songs way more than the brand new ones. I would hardly call any of the touring done in the past 1.5 years "zeitgeist touring". What is the average number of zeitgeist era songs played at any given show during the past 1.5 years?

If the Pumpkins are elected into the Rock n' Roll HOF, will he allow James and D'arcy to appear with him or is he more likely to appear with Jonathan Melvoin's corpse

Billy, I'm stuck in a dungeon in FF12, should I spend my license points on more HP/MP or try to upgrade my armor?

christian zombie vampires · 10-06-2008, 10:54 PM

in the smashing pumpkins CD-ROM, is there a way to get out of the dungeon without using the wizard key?

Runsaber · 10-06-2008, 10:55 PM

dear billy,
do you find it ironic that after breaking up your band because it was too hard to "fight the britneys" eight years ago, both the smashing pumpkins and britney spears are making music again and no one really gives a shit?

do you consider this a small victory?

Ol' Couch Ass · 10-06-2008, 11:20 PM

What is the real story behind the machina mystery since it seems you yourself had no fucking idea and were counting on fans to make some sense out of the nonsense?

tcm · 10-06-2008, 11:56 PM

shall we make this the longest thread ever, gents?

TAFH · 10-07-2008, 12:51 AM

dear billy,

why haven't you been able to write one single decent song since 1997?

SlingeroGuitaro · 10-07-2008, 12:54 AM

WWJD?

Banana · 10-07-2008, 12:58 AM

Why haven't Ginger, Jeff, and Lisa been involved in any of the studio material?

Will they ever let Ginger, Jeff, and/or Lisa become involvedin the creative process of creating new Smashing Pumpkins songs?

How much longer do they see themselves playing considering their current ages?

IWishIWasBlank · 10-07-2008, 09:48 AM

Dear Billy,

Will you contribute a photo to the Pic Post: You Right Now NSFW! thread?

Regards,
Fan.

Billy already answered this one (in the milk- thingy. can't recall any details). I think he said something around 8 years.
