the other band mates had nothing to do with any of the Smashing Pumpkins success. It was all billy, nothing but. So hows this any different?And he’s got no problem with money trust me. You people…

HAHAHAHA so true, so true.
Billy is so full of it and himself mostly that he truly believe people will buy more of his music and his crap ideology. He is lost all credibility and in the end he can blame everyone else for his failure as a human being.

let’s bring back zwan! Wouldn’t that be great? Maybe this is what Billy corgan should do-”we’re celebrating the fifth anniversary of zwan and the 20th anniversary of smashing pumpkins and the third anniversary of when my solo album was released. Please come to these shows. Give me your money-i mean your support and enjoy the show”

you’re right man. You need the original lineup but billy has lost dollars and credibility by revamping the band. He’s just trying to decieve and insult former fans while trying to get naive newcomers to buy the back catalog if they like the setlist performed thinking that who they see were there from the start.

how can you commemorate twenty years of being a band when two members won’t be there to celebrate or perform, billy?
