youspinmeround Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Madame ZuZu’s closes on March 18. The amount of money that Billy is losing on wrestling, tea and failed reunion tours is amazing. I think he should just focus on getting us that Machinna resissue and some Zwan stuff nickj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he should just focus on getting us that Machinna resissue and some Zwan stuff Apparently he plans to reopen zuzu’s somewhere else (rent was too high) and keep an online presence. I think wrestling is what really sunk him. Plus it looks like this reunion tour is going to make money. High ticket prices have not deterred most markets, some however are woefully undersold but that’s the game you play when you do big arena tours, if you want to play MSG you have to play Glendale as well. Billy mentioned machina reissues a couple weeks ago, doesn’t look like it’s happening anytime soon. And zwan will likely never happen so better to be on the lookout for a random deal now and then.

You have to play Glendale az to play msg? I think not. Not even close to accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highfives Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Let's talk about the two EPs that are just about finished, with a May release for a new song. Billy, Jimmy, James, Jeff, Rick Rubin, mellotrons, 3 guitars, real strings... mmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSG might be a bad example but many promoters require acts to play some of their less desirable venues if they want to play the bigger ones.

[Banned User] Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Would love to get a Rotten Apples pressing. Makes sense paired with this reunion tour. Plarocks and kramer73 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limited 4LP pressing with plain white label “Judas 0” in a plain white jacket, with “faux” hand written labels and titles. All taken from the “high res” studio masters, and mastered by Bernie Grundman/Chris Bellman. In your local store for under $50!

jrodan Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 am i the only one who really enjoyed Monuments to an Elegy? album is short and sweet and has some terrific jams on it. i dug the synth work on it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesecrets0308 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I personally really enjoyed Oceania, I thought that kid they got to play the drums was exceptional. The Chimera is probably my favorite track on there, thought it was very reminiscent of the old SP sound. Just like pepperonigin, Monuments didn't grab me either, but I don't know that I've given it enough of a chance yet. pepperonigin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helsabot Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Solara kinda sucks..I was really expecting more after the great solo album from last year. Big letdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjorn Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I didn't have massive expectations for Solara, but a part of me hoped it would be something closer to Ma Belle or Stellar, which had some of that classic SP magic even though they were from the Zeitgeist era. Unfortunately, it sounds more like a deliberate attempt to recreate something like Bullet. Also, the mix is horribly bright. I'll still give anything they put out a fair shake. Oceania was good, and Monuments was enjoyable as well, but to me none of this stuff really lives up to the band's potential, which is a bummer.

The last Pumpkins album I enjoyed was Zeitgeist, I haven't listened to anything since. I am curious about this album though. I wonder when they'll announce it, or will they just release this single and not say anything like Alice in Chains? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faaip de oiad Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Just ran into this song last night on Spotify. Couldn't listen to the whole song until I saw this thread. Now after listening a couple of times it's just ok. I'll still prolly buy the EP. I still have hope for this band... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
