timsimmons Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I didn’t think anyone can make Billy look good, but Darcy succeeded. ejc625 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highfives Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 It sounds pretty rational from BC’s side of things. I think news outlets have been spinning this to create more shit than there is (ya think?) i also think it’s kind of bullshit that D’Arcy is screenshotting texts to the media. What does it prove? That the door is open for her to come back in whatever capacity she’s capable of? Sounds like a good deal. ejc625 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperonigin Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I'm sure she's upset not to be involved in the way she wants but Billy has a point and was really trying to bridge the gap and find an amicable solution. I would certainly have reservations about admitting someone to a big tour who hasn't played professionally in two decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if she would have ever come back, it would have been with another band a long time ago. I would love to see her on stage with the rest of the band, but at this point I don't think it will ever happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperonigin Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 https://www.alternativenation.net/smashing-pumpkins-bassist-darcy-first-interview-in-20-years/ Here's a new interview with D'Arcy for anyone interested. All of this is not the type of publicity they had in mind before tomorrow's announcement I'm sure. Such a shame they can't get it together.

If this reunion and these people's relationships are ruined because they're all communicating through text messages, it will be ridiculous. ejc625 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azvd Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) At this point, I wouldn't hold any breath for any kind of reunion. With the exception of TheFutureEmbrace (which I really enjoy), everything he's put out since Zeitgeist is just tough to digest. Compare those albums to any b-side that came out with the re-releases and it's clear that Billy lost his mojo since. It just got pointless, empty and it would end up as just another greatest hits act to remind us of how old we got. Kinda like going to a Beach Boys concert. Give us the Machina re-release and we can all move forward. Edited February 14, 2018 by azvd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the reunion, it's certainly happening, just without D'Arcy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 I really liked Oceania. Its the only post OG lineup that I can get into I am also not a fan of Adore. Jimmy is really missed on that album and it got way too on the electronic element trend of that time. It is a hard listen for me when I can listen to Gish, Siamese, Pisces or Mellon Collie Dates will be announced tmmw. Venues are NYC- Madison Square garden Chicago- United Center LA- Forum pepperonigin and TheGhostOfRandySavage 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faaip de oiad Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I'm wondering if D'arcy interfered with the announcement today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Oh well, I have no interest of seeing them play in a 20k+ arena after all these years. I was hoping they'd start out in midsize venues like Soundgarden did when they got back together and then go to bigger places later on.

converge88 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Is it just me or do you guys think they might have trouble selling all of these tickets in some of these markets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Was bummed there was no STL show, then saw it was all arenas and realized I wouldn't go anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the smaller "meat and potato" markets are going to be the easiest for them. That's where people wont/dont give a shit about Bill Corgan being a fucking turd for the last 12 years. The bigger cities are going to be harder to convince people to give this guy their money money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thischarmingman Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Lol at Oracle Arena. Welcome to the Arcade Fire stadium tour part 2. The upside is scalpers will be dumping tickets the day of the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperonigin Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Billy hasn’t sold those types of venues in a long time. It’s certainly ambitious but if there’s enough buzz and prices aren’t out of control they can do it. They’re limiting the sets to the first five albums so it’s possible.
