How terrible, the new SP better not be political or emo, as this picture suggests, please don't be Green Day or I will just die (yes how emo).

This isn't real I don't think. If you look at the background images location it reveals a photobucket account named Jannelly333, googling this username reveals a myspace account of a 24 year old woman... ...Is this who is controlling Billy's myspace?!

For some reason isn't loading when I lookat his myspace. I looked like a jackass on one of the Myspace boards when I was pointing out that this wasn't on his myspace. My guess is either his myspace is actually hacked or whoever is running or Billy got a kick out of some fan art, and decided to put up as the background. I am not sure why this isn't loading for me, when every other myspace background does. I said that it looked too much like Anti-Flag on one of those boards over there, but the Green Day assessment is accurate as well. You would think that if this was the real symbol, that they would have the proper silver sp heart there instead of something that looks like it was made in microsoft paint (you could make something much better looking in photoshop). And why wouldn't they change the main myspace image for Billy's myspace to that as well if it were real? It would be very disconcerning if SP decided to pull a Green Day on us. Green Day is what I originally associated with alternative music in the early days, and that's what made me resistant to getting into rock until 1995 or so. And that was before there whole banking of anti-Bush sentiment thing, so you can imagine how much I dislike them even more, with so much pandering to their audience to sell records.

Apparently she works for azoffmusic management according to a friend, googling their name followed by the word Corgan brings up this: http://www.nagrock.starla.pl/nagrock.html The article concerning azoffmusic is this: \"Plotki się potwierdzają… Jak wynika z kilku źródeł, proces reaktywacji Smashing Pumpkins ruszył pełną parą. Wiadomo, że Billy i Jimmy podpisali kontrakt z firmą Azoff Music Management i być może będą nagrywać nowy materiał latem. M. Auf Der Maur także potwierdziła informacje jakoby Billy miał nagrywać w najbliższym czasie, lecz nie jest pewna czy Corgan porozumiał się z Jamesem i D’Arcy. Jednocześnie zapewniła go, że sama z pewnością zgodzi się na granie w zespole. Poza tym znany już jest tytuł piosenki, nad którą pracował Billy wraz z Melissą. Brzmi on \"Took Me Apart\" i będzie się znajdował na drugim, jeszcze nie zatytułowanym, albumie Auf Der Maur. źródło: www.mtv.com skomentuj!\" Anyone for a Polish translation?

Ha.. that's interesting. There's so many rumors, so much crap surfacing, I'll just have to wait until the actual album comes out.

So it seems it's legit. The person works for Azoff Front Line, Billy's management company. Hmm.. I wonder when songs will surface on the Myspace.. *continues to wait patiently*

Oh God, if the New Smashing Pumpkins are anything like what that poster suggests, then they will have broken my heart.

If they do pull a Green Day, atleast it won't be poppy punk rock aimed at 13 year olds. The thing about Green Day was that they didn't really take into account that they were singing to a demographic that didn't know anything about politics. Thus, many Green Day fans only think George is an idiot because Green Day sang about him. I don't recall Billy ever tapping into politics much, ever. Maybe he's gonna do a Manson and write songs about middle class America? I really can't see Billy's song writing in politics though, and as much as i hope he doesn't, I have been surprised before.

^ Agreed about the Green Day bit. I'm curious as to what Billy would sound like if he did write politically. I hope it doesn't happen though.

Well, if anyone's interested I got a Polish friend to translate the article, it reads: The rumours are coming true. As we know from several sources, the process of reactivation of Smashing Pumpkins is going on. It is obvious that Billy and Jimmy have signed the contract with Azoff Music Management company and it's possible that they will be recording new material during summer. M. Auf Der Maur also confirms the information about the fact that Billy is to record a new album soon but it is not certain whether Corgan has got in touch with James and D’Arc. At the same time, she assured him that she will accept being a member of the band. Apart from this, there is known the new title of the song which was created by Billy together with Melissa. It is \"TOOK ME APART\". It will be put on the second but not titled album of Auf Der Maur yet.

Hehehe, I'm glad to be of help, it's so odd to be discovering some pumpkinsy mystery for the first time, if only I was into them in the Machina era... hehehe...

Hey, kinda 3 out of 4 aint bad. Imagine if Ron Roesing accepted.
