Billy just said that the band being dysfunctional was an “act”, when not too long ago he said that the band getting along with each other was fake. Also he has been on record as saying that MCIS is not a concept record, but now he says it is. Is he rewriting the band’s history?

Ugh. He’s so full of it. I’ve followed them since “Gish” and saw them in 1994 and twice on MCIS tour 1996. Billy destroyed the Pumpkins, period - and he didn’t appreciate James and Darcy’s contributions (which were more than the music) once they broke through, it became all about him. Biggest tragedy of such a great band is Billy’s unnecessary and non-sensical egomaniacal self-destruction. It was always about more than just the music with Billy, and the only thing is 90’s kids cared about was the friggin’ MUSIC! Anyways, I bought MCIS the day it was released. It only has 5 good songs. Rest are trash. I always wished it was a single album.
