[cassette/tape]

period.

hhhhmmm... note that no one where in the advert does it say he's bringing back the old members. I'd be nay surprised if Bill just took the name back and carried on as a solo 'band' act alá MBV, The Cure, etc, etc,


seriously but, after Siamese Dreams everything went brown

Counting Crows, Soul Asylum, Stone Temple Pilots...

to be fair, I think Pearl Jam have one or two records that may stand up in years to come, No Code was a nice really well recorded, band in a room, roots rock album...

 

[brianoak]

I think they were more the cool unknown band to be into who were in fact shit though.

v true, but were blind melon really that rated??

 

[oh shit]

i already posted his full statement in the billy boring thread yesterday.

 

[seanface]

what's the craic with d'arcy the bassist? last i heard she'd fallen off the wagon pretty bad. didn't billy corgan call her a 'spiteful junkie' last year when he blamed the bands break up on the rest of them?

alice in chains habit of having tracks from a previous albums as b-sides was the most annoying thing about the 90's. that and 1995 leaving cert honors maths paper 1.

 

[avernus]

it's a bit shite really. I love the pumpkins, but I think Machina fairly ended them.
