    • @AT-dx9pf
      @AT-dx9pf 4 месяца назад +2

      Frankly he never speaks. He is socially awkward. I don't mean that in a bad way. That really has little to do with Corgan himself beyond the fact that WPC seems to enjoy speaking and James is the opposite so it stands to reason if you put the two together you are gonna get a bunch of Corgan talking. I've seen interviews with them all together and they are more than happy to let Corgan do the talking. He doesn't impose silence on them by his speaking tho. James clearly doesn't ever want to talk.

    Taylor Hawkins and Jimmy have been only a few drummers from past interviews, giving kudo's to a great rock drummer, unknown to most; Bobby Caldwell. Bobby had a short recording career, which has confused me to this day. Could be just bad luck??? Johnny Winter And "Live" 1971 Then Captain Beyond 1972, self titled. 1973 on most of Rick Derringers All American Boy record. then 1975 a great band, only one record, Armageddon, then in 1977 a reformed Captain Beyond 3rd album. Then that was it! A very talented drummers, with great rudimental chops.

    I was wondering how after Jimmy was fired from pumpkins for heroin addiction/overdose, when he was with the keyboardist overdosed and died with him.
    How/when did Jimmy come back so quickly with Billy Corgan/SP? Just after SP broke up & James Iha & Darcy were gone Jimmy came back?
    Or did Billy get him back after Jimmy got sober?
    Really just wondering how that happened? Did Billy just really need Jimmy because they were the 2 that recorded the songs together on all the albums not James or Darcy

    • @TheAlibabatree
      @TheAlibabatree 4 года назад +1

      Jimmy rejoined the band in 1999 to record Machina. After that, Billy broke up SP and formed a new band called Zwan. Jimmy also played with them.
      Then, in 2006, Billy reformed the SP name, and Jimmy once again played on the new album Zeitgeist.
      They had a strong relationship for many years, but had a falling out in 2009. But, Jimmy once again came back around 2015, and has been officially in SP since 2017.
      Its a complicated story lol. But if you havent heard any of those previous records i mentioned, i highly recommend them, they are all great.
