god damn billy... what happened to you?

[MSSL06]

@gnr4life23 no, theyre never gonna be forgotten. only a poser would forget them.

I'm seeing a lot of D'arcy hate on these comments. She was more than a pretty face, she was the band "mother". Billy said this himself. She was his filter, she helped picked the best tracks for the albums. She has been directly tied to the fact that "Crestfallen" and "Appels + Oranjes" made it on Adore. You can tell that after he lost James and D'arcy that the band suffered tremendously. She was, in many ways, his editor and voice of reason.

lol....in order to post the comment below i had to fill out the capchka or whatever the hell it's called. Anyway, usually it's just nonsensical letters, but this time the letters spelled out a made up word that sounded like it could have been a pumpkins song title from back in the day: Lifintio

[avedic]

man..seeing this is creepy. LOVE the song though. i'm 28..around the age billy must have been here. and now he's a bald alien vampire in his mid 40s. Just kidding of course..kind of lol. But it's a stark reminder that youth fades. I'm just now realizing that at 28. Before, it simply never occurred to me. Hearing this makes me want to get out in the world and do my thing and make my mark before my own youth is gone, which it will be soon. Man...life. Youth is definitely wasted on the young.. :/

And whoever said Billy Corgan was a drummer is way wrong. xD Billy doesn't play any percussion instruments.

@girlie347 I think D'arcy gets a bad time for being the 'weaker link' of the group, but part of the reason Billy said she was 'mean-spirited' was probably because he was micromanaging her and she got fed up with it. It's intimidating trying to keep up with skills like those of Billy Corgan. And I'm not saying he shouldn'tve been perfectionistic. The music would have suffered were he less dedicated.

I just don't think D'arcy deserves a bad rep. I think she did fine given her circumstances.

@girlie347 All three other original Pumpkins were welcome in the reunion, as well as auf der Maur. Billy stressed the fact that D'arcy and James were welcome to join, as long as it was in the spirit of making music, and that they wanted to be there. And D'arcy wasn't hard into drugs until after Mellon Collie.

I don't really agree with D'arcy being just a pretty face. I mean, yes, Billy was a better bassist than she is, but he's probably a better bassist than a lot of people.

D'Arcy however was also a drug addict since at least Siamese Dreams. But when she was kicked out of the band in 1999 Billy said she was nothing but a mean spirited drug addict who refused to get help.

When they reunited in 2007 for a concert tour D'Arcy was not welcome.

She has always been nothing but a pretty face that could only play really basic bass parts. They used her image heavily for album sleeves and video's in the beginning, but she was also very uncooperative about it.
