I think the last time I saw them was their last show together with all four. D'Arcy quit the next day

I think she lives on a horse farm in Minnesota now.
Re: The Smashing Pumpkins
she had meth face in 2011 so she may not be in the best shape to be back in the band,

Re: The Smashing Pumpkins
While I can see wanting the original band back together because of nostalgia...this isn't GNR or Jane's. It's always been the Billy Corgan show (with a fucking amazing drummer in Jimmy Chamberlain). D'arcy filled a void almost solely for aesthetic purposes. And James Iha's contributions to the band's catalogue were minuscule at best. Again, it would be "neat" to see the original band back together...but Billy can put on just as solid of a show with other people filling in.
P.S. Jeff Schroeder is way more talented than James Iha.

I saw them a few days before that in Phoenix. I'll always remember the date because it was the day after the Columbine high school shooting.kv wrote:I think the last time I saw them was their last show together with all four. D'Arcy quit the next day

Her looks now match her personality...
Just say no.

Re: The Smashing Pumpkins
"They" were terrible in 2007 when it was just Billy and Jimmy. It was either Schroeder or some touring hack... anyway it was so terrible we left halfway through. Bjork the day before was incredible.kv wrote:I think the last time I saw them was their last show together with all four. D'Arcy quit the next day

Apparently, Corgan and Darcy Wrecksi are pals again:

Re: The Smashing Pumpkins
Billy has basically implied that a future reunion of the original band is in the cards, without actually making an official announcement.

Re: The Smashing Pumpkins
That'd be cool. I wonder how Darcy is doing these days after a rough period there. I'd be surprised if she could hack a full 2-hour performance. More likely a guest appearance on a couple songs. But I guess we'll see.

Re: The Smashing Pumpkins
Billy still basically saying that the band is reuniting without actually saying "the band is reuniting".

Interesting...Rick Rubin is producing his new solo album.

Re: The Smashing Pumpkins
Who knows? In my opinion, Billy was/is the band...with some help from Jimmy's amazing drumming. James and D'arcy didn't really bring anything to the table...but their return would probably pull people in because of the nostalgia factor.Matz wrote:are people gonna care if they reunite at all?

Re: The Smashing Pumpkins
Announcement appears o be coming in days if not a few weeks about the reunion. And of course, there's high school level social media drama involving the probability that Wretzky will not be involved.

But anyway, pics have been posted of Billy, Jimmy, and James recording. No Darcy though.
I'd wager to bet Melissa Auf Der Maur is brought back.
Or they'll go famous and get someone like Kim Deal.
Re: The Smashing Pumpkins
etty is the new bass player
Re: The Smashing Pumpkins
I'm bummed Darcy won't be there. I know Billy did everything anyway, but I want to see the original band. Not sure I'll go now. It would be hard to justify buying a ticket Beyond knowing I'll be seeing all original members.
Re: The Smashing Pumpkins
According to the SP’s, she’s been repeatedly invited into the fold....no specifics on moola though.....

Re: The Smashing Pumpkins
What a headcase. D'Arcy is The Pumpkin's own Steven Adler (Guns n' Roses goofball original drummer).

I can't imagine what kind of hell it would be to be stuck in a studio with Corgan's ego and D'Arcy's annoying personality recording those last couple'a albums.

Re: The Smashing Pumpkins
I always thought Adler was fairly well appreciated by at least Duff and slash, even mourned in his absence. I follow John 5 on IG, and he popps up in holiday photos at parties with him and
Nikki....the former never drank and the latter is clean and sober. D'Arcy seems to be afflicted by the common asshole syndrome explained by 'I may not be right, but I'm NEVER wrong'....a perpetual victim.

Re: The Smashing Pumpkins
I'm sure based on what's been said that they "like" Adler, but as a reliable band member, he's a trainwreck even after cleaning himself up for the umpteeth time. He was going to play at least a few songs during the very first GnR reunion club show at the Troubadour and a couple days before the gig, screwed up his back. The couple years leading up to the reunion he was doing interviews for anyone that would have him and constantly saying stuff that you know would rub Axl (and probably at least Slash as well) the wrong way.SR wrote:I always thought Adler was fairly well appreciated by at least Duff and slash, even mourned in his absence.

Speaking of John 5, he recorded a full album with David Lee Roth a couple years ago that's gone unreleased that just about everyone who's heard it say it's the best thing either of them have done in years.
