It died around 2000 or so, don’t fall for Billy’s cringe-worthy attempts at trying to keep the name relevant. I used to have hope too, but it’s gone. Forever.

It was always Billy, even though Jimmy is the most talented musician in that band.

And James was actually involved, so I'm not going to hate. You can't blame Billy for keeping Darcy away.

I say this as someone who has mocked Billy Corgan for 20 years. He is arrogant and pretentious, but he was always the center of SP.

Yes to the first part, but no to the second. Billy is a genuine musical phenom. I don't remember the details, but he won a reward in Chicago as a kid for the best pianist in the State (or something to that extent... again it's been a while so the details are hazy). Whatever it was, it was highly prestigious recognition.

James is a good balance to Billy, but Billy is truly a musical genius. Also the dude has been an interesting person in all the right ways over the last few decades. He went off the deep end in the late 90s, but he resolved and humbled himself later in life.

Billy is a musical genius. Jimmy is an extremely talented musician.

There is a difference.

What did y'all expect from Billy anyway? Music video was right up his alley. It had a train wreck appeal to it, I had to watch it to the end.
