He took out an ad in the paper saying he'd like to, but it happened to be timed around the same time as his solo album launch so it was met with criticism.

Personally, I heard a fair bit of them back in the day, but never really liked them that much. That said, over the years they've sort of grown on me and I'd like to see them get back together, (charitably) assuming that it's genuine and not a stunt to sell the solo album (Which is incidentally quite good anyway, at least in my opinion).

i think a lot of people grew up with the pumpkins (myself included). i don't really trust anyone who still listens to them

They rock.

I've been a fan for years and was a little pissed when Billy formed Zwan. What the hell happened to those guys.

Fave S.P song is Adore followed by Bullet with Butterfly Wings. They were icons back in the day. yeah I heard about the reformation too - didn't believe it though.

Which do you guys like better- Billy WITH hair or Billy WITHOUT hair. Personally, without looks much better for him.
