Thats a band I can't enjoy because of Billy. One of these instances where the artist can't be separated from the a-hole.

Which bums me out cause I dug the SD and MCIS albums. Didn't like adore though.

I lament I'll be out of town when the swing through Louisiana. I'd definitely be there otherwise.

They are my favorite band.

I'd urge you to give Billy a second chance. He's changed a lot / mellowed out the past 10 years, especially since he got James and Jimmy to rejoin the band.

I saw them in 2018 for their tour when they only played their 90's hits. It was VERY good...maybe a top 10-15 concert for me. They all seemed so happy. See the thread from that tour here: LINK

Not sure what they plan on covering for this tour, but I'd go see them again in a heartbeat.

I'll be going. Jimmy is one of the great drummers of that era.

Billy went off a bit during their fame from the Mellon Collie success, but overall he's a pretty solid dude. Don't let that one bad moment of his life paint the full picture of him.

Covid cancelled their tour which had a lot in the SE, so this tour seems stupid.

Watch his interview with Rogan on YouTube and it will totally change your perception of him. I had always thought of him as being pretentious and quirky but he is a very down to Earth guy. It was a great interview.

I've been around him multiple times, what really bothers me about him are things that he has done to purposely make things tougher on lesser known bands. It's been a few years though, maybe things are different with him.

I'm a huge Chamberlin fan though. Incredibly underrated drummer who brought the most talent to that party imo.

I know what you are referring to. It rubbed me the wrong way too.

Watch the Rogan interview as was mentioned. He seems different now.

I wish they were playing Houston. Saw their last two shows here and was pleasantly surprised. Billy sounded good as well.
