“Fuck that Alex Jones supporting asshole,” is honestly the nicest thing I can think to say.
The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.

Re: New Smashing Pumpkins....what say ye...??
That’s just overly cynical, cheap and quite lazy. How about driving forward a conversation that could be about music.
Yeah, Alex Jones is easy to hate and he can be used as a cudgel with which to kindle a minute of hate. Easy- Peasy. Let’s tarnish the efforts of an entire band with it. Hating Corgan is cool, man.
I found the song a bit lackluster and was hoping for a ripping Corgan solo that never arrived. I was wondering if he still has the minerals, honestly. I then scanned through the track after listening to about 45% of it and it felt as if the track had said all that it could say by that point. It just seemed boring, really, and a poor choice for a lead track that announces 3/4 of the band being back together.

Not only are you factually incorrect but it sure would be nice to visit a corner of the internet that is supposedly dedicated to music and guitars and be able to discuss those things. There’s a whole internet out there for deep diving on other sorts of things.
Or we can use the forum as a place to reaffirm our biases about things having nothing to do with music or guitars. Sounds like a blast.

It has a good beat and you can dance to it.

Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.

It is a rock and roll song.

Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness, and cleanliness is godliness, and God is empty, just like thousands of seats for the upcoming Smashing Pumpkins reunion tour.

Politics aside, this song makes me deeply sad, because I didn't think that a 3/4 reunion of the Pumpkins could sound so boring. It sounds like they don't even believe in what they're doing.

Making fun of RATT.....they are old, but not slow. Check it out.Larry Mal wrote: ↑Sun Jun 10, 2018 6:42 amThe song is dreadful. It opens up with super boring guitar chugging that is fucking lame and dated and reminds me of Ratt but if Ratt was slow, old and boring and wrote pretentious and juvenile lyrics that would be more appropriate in a burgeoning teenage mass murderer's blog that a couple of fatasses like Alex Jones and Billy Corgan would later dismiss as a hoax.
There, I listened to it.

The song is mediocre at best, but maybe the best is yet to come. However, does the world need a Pumpkins 3/4 reunion. I thought they were just fine without James and Jimmy. My prediction is that this lasts a few weeks then implodes. ALSO, what about Jeff....he seems like a good dude, this has to be weird for him....how did handle that phone call from Bill..."hello Jeff, this is silly billy, I'm bringing James and Jimmy back for a recording and tour, I want you play rhythm guitar and be nice to James, oh yea..when this implodes you will have your old job back"...
Good for James...I hope he makes some money. How about James and Jeff form a band.
