Billy Corgan - Record Club & Oceania Update

[ZeroThirtyThree033]

whats with billy and stripes?

[willschmidguitar]

OMG, OCEANIA FTW!!! PUMPKINS FOREVER!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!

[TheAcdc36]

billy needs a hugz X3

[Tubenesser]

Would be nicer, if the highest made possible resolution format, 24bit/96khz, would not only be offered as a WAV-Download, but on Audio-DVD backed with an even better sounding SACD-Version as well. And how about Multichannel-Versions? It is frustrating to see the best sounding stuff not to be available for direct use on your HiFi but for the PC-squeakers! And the vinyls made sense 25 years ago when "digital" really sounded crappy, now it's for nostalgic folks, made on old worn out 70's machines.

[WhatYouWantInSpadez]

Hi BILLY!

[jumpinjoe88]

He look way to tired... or way too... something...

[mitchqqqqqq]

Ive been listening to the live tracks and my mind is blown. This album is going to be amazing.

[triumphSB]

How big is your head?

[ak47popper]

fuck i love you billy. you changed my life

[iwanabbilly]

wow I'm excited by this

[therototube2]

THE WORLD IS A VAMPIRE......

[mitchqqqqqq]

@therototube2 sent to drai---iai-aaaaaaannnn

[booklearn]

The Forum would not allow me to set up a new password, and there is no "contact us" tab so they can fix the problem.

[booklearn]

There is no way to log on to the site in which you can discuss the band. There is no "contact us" tab, and no way to fix the problem with their site which has major glitches.

[jsh020]

@booklearn theres a whole freaking forum on the site, i dont know how you missed that? theres no need for a contact us tab cause the forum is for that

[jsh020]

@booklearn theres a forum on the site not a contact us, i was just on it a second ago talking on the oceania board

[xoBabeWithBitexo]

Damn Billy you are gorgeous!.

[jsh020]

ITS FINISHED, he said they finished it last night on their twitter, gonna come out in november

[BioShockisAWESOME]

STP is divine! and Silverfuck is THE love song! The Smashing Pumpkins 4 ever!

[jeanb333]

why he changed his teeths he was better before change it

[MrSimplejack09]

i cant believe you not coming to OHIO NO CLEVELAND OR COLUMBUS HELL ID BE HAPPY WITH PITTSBURG

[singularxxx]

Please please please release only ONE deluxe version of Oceania!!! Some of us had to hunt down multiple versions of Zeitgeist to find all the songs! The retailers can go to hell. Your fans want all the SP we can get!

[browneclowne]

BC out, or something like that...

[jsh020]

@DBZstephawn hopefully, honestly whatever it sounds like im sure it will be great

[orangappleye]

who taught you how to say "tour"?

[JayBooney]

You'd better come to the UK, I'll be severely disappointed. The Brighton Dome would be a GREAT venue!!

[JeremyGladden]

billy..what happen to james and D'arcy?

[willzer808]

Legend also has it that if you touch billy's fortune you will have a life of head (:

[INFSI99]

long live billy corgan and the smashing pumpkins, qaulity never dies

[rph33]

You're a pretty awful person, Billy.

[mtflesruoytsacdaorb]

@rph33 ... and we should listen to this bit of mud thrown at random through cyberspace 'cause ...

[FollowersofDamu]

@rph33 WTF???

[nickhornell]

Billy corgan would never remember me..... But I got a guitar lesson from him once.. Taught me tonight reprise! Wish he was my friend!! Not because I'm a fantatic fan.. ( I actually have 4 personl a-list friends) but because I like his personality.. and we would get on well.. and also because I have had a guitar for 12 years, and i am awful at it. Just awful

[Sh0ckmaster]

Can't wait for these re-issues. Lots of good albums coming my way for Christmas I think :D

[UbiquitousGeek]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a while back, didn't he offer completely free access to all the material if you'd signed up for the mailing list? I was under the assumption that those people would have all of the material released to this club, gratis.

[iseeumonkey]

Is it just me, but does Billie remind anyone of Lord Voldemort?

[romeosdistress]

@iseeumonkey not as much as he reminds me of Karl Pilkington

[DGENERATE07]

@romeosdistress lmfao

[BillyCorgan777]

Thank you Billy, from the bottom of my heart. For everything.

[Godraideen]

Also...I don't know if you will ever see this question and I know you are most likely too busy to answer...but is there any chance we will see some Pistachio Medley stuff? Specifically Knuckles, Phang and Speed Racer. I still get chills when listening to them. Esp the distorted bass in Speed Racer...of the coolest things my ears have ever heard. It would be amazing to hear those riffs implemented as a full song.

Anyway, thanks again Billy and co.

[Sonyphilia]

@Godraideen I thought i was the only one who has heard the 'zero' single

[manvswolfman]

When/where can you sign up for the Record Club? anyone know?

[Godraideen]

Thank you Billy. Being a fan since 91', I will support you till the day I die. You have given so much of yourself in your music for such a long time now that the least we can do is support you in the one remote way we can, by purchasing your music.

I am excited about the master stuff. I have a high fidelity set up at home and love listening to the Pumpkins on it. I used to sell Hi-Fi and used quite a few of pumpkins songs for demo material. It was amazing how many would ask about the artist. :D

[sic82]

I am so psyched for these reissues, especially Machina II + Mellon Collie.

Keep on rocking in the free world!

[kevman5]

unmastered siamese dream? OH man Id pay lots and lots of money to hear that...

[chapoy35]

You're my fuckin idol

I LOVE YOU MAN

[zerosoma33]

I already have the demo version of Drown

[itstherealone]

@zerosoma33 where from?

[zerosoma33]

@itstherealone

It's a really old slurry tape version. Guitars sound "cuter", if you will, and billy's voice sounds higher. It's got lots of tape hiss though, I hope they clean it up. It's from Waterfront Studios, labeled Drown (demo,'92, Waterfront Studios).

I don't remember how I got it. I used to trade boots back during the Machina era when everything was still on VHS and CD-R was the new thing.

[SeekingNamelessly]

*gets really really excited*

[jfm228]

hahaha silver"___"

[GLITZandGLOOM]

@jfm228

I chuckled about that too. "Silverfuck" is one of my all-time favorite SP songs :)

[11111phil11111]

Sounds good to me.

[FilmPriest]

So... is oceania like a legit album or what?

[jsh020]

@FilmPriest yes its a full album

[lalalex84]

Thank you for sharing Billy. I'm a huge fan, and I just can't wait for the reissue of Siamese Dream. I love your voice Billy ♥

Your fan,

Alex

[24tricks]

This made my day..Billy needs some coffee..

[cbis4133]

Bill, how can you leave Australia out of your Oceania tour!! Come on mate.

[dylanstatic]

come back to australia dammit

[stashthecocoa]

coming full circle...

[TheMrpopo1997]

make an interview with daniel tosh!

[LordDanZor]

So excited for Siamese Dream!

[Sharpster7]

Go on conan o brien's show!!

[zubyzu]

I love these updates! Thanks so much for including us!

[Joko67NZ]

Just spent $90 buying both Teargaren boxes.

[martiriobaby]

Indeed,super exciting times...

I'm glad they gonna offer demos and old stuff (I love demo versions of songs and I love SP's old stuff since I'm an old fan),but I'm also glad Billy is creating new stuff too.

I really like the idea of the audio comments 'cause I would love to ask so many things about the songs.

Thanks to all the people involved in the actual SP project!

[Edward306]

Awesome. Just waiting for UK dates to be announced :D

[minitrim]

Did he just say European tour??!!

[cribbonin]

Any and all materials will be purchased by me!

[Joko67NZ]

@cribbonin Me too! If I I xan afford them.

[Brown86Town]

@cribbonin Same here. There isn't a commercial release by them that I don't have. Well, on disk. I'm not rich, so I don't have the extensive vinyl collections that some people have. A lot of fans would do anything for all the rare goods. I just want to be able to listen to everything that's out there. To my knowledge, I have everything that's been released (other than live bootlegs) by them. Billy Corgan, you once again empty my wallet. And I'm happy to oblige! :D

[buddybopper]

Vinyl subscription service?

[mcrrockoutz]

aaahh eeexxxcciittteedddd!

[telegramsam]

YAY!

[Solosohi]

Keep on keeping on, Billy.

[SuperDeadstars]

So excited!

[k55j85r86]

Awesome news. Thank you for the update, Billy. :) I look very much forward to all of this. <3

[SuperSparkyMark1]

Billy you are the best.

[bobachilles]

Definitely release the Siamese materials, that would be so much fun to listen to in the background of whatever you are doing

[The666thBowelOfHell]

[TheLayneMeyer]

[tanker245]

Love you Billy, keep up the good work. Can't wait to see you guys live in Boston!

[JuhnaNemiko]

Something I want to know is will the remasters of the new albums be made available on vinyl records? Ever since I got into records a few years back, I've been dying to hear Melancholy on vinyl, but the prices that people want for it are insane!

[MegaNewsReader]

God bless you Billy. Much love to you.

[1starphire1]
