Yeah, I got choked up. Great to see...and a really nice version of "Mayonaise." Always loved James the best.

i watched the status quo documentary last night on bbc4 (never been a fan, but got sucked into the story), there is something special about bands who go through court cases, media based slanging matches and then .. after a few years (a very long time in the case of quo) grow the fuck up and realise that its time to acknowledge the good times and just get on with getting on.hopefully this is the start of the same kind of process for billy and the others, as i would suggest that this is a band that could still make good music together ...

oh lol i see i echoed flappy bird there
It's good to see this happen, but I'd be far more impressed if I saw Billy and D'Arcy share a stage again.
― WHERE'S JIM!? (Turrican), Monday, 28 March 2016 15:00 (eight years ago) link
Sadly I think that's out of Bill's control...D'arcy hasn't played music since she left SP in 1999. Toward the end, she couldn't even remember the songs. She was totally fried on hard drugs and judging by recent pictures and that radio phone call in 2009, she's still drinking and using and basically out of commission...somehow, I'm friends with her on Facebook, and she's totally unrecognizable. The damage with James was entirely interpersonal, I don't think D'arcy could play with SP again even if she wanted to. Billy said a lot of awful shit about James since 2000, but he's never talked shit about D'arcy behind stating the obvious, "she has a lot of problems..."

Yes. Hence why I would be impressed.

Having 3/4 of the original lineup on good terms bodes well for a Hall of Fame nomination in the next few years.

Billy's new solo album is called The Land of Maybe. Recording finished, only needs to be mixed & mastered.

Boy, these Corgan appearances on the Alex Jones show are, uh, something else. (Available for your viewing "pleasure" on YouTube.) I had a tough enough time defending my love for BC's music after I found out he was a run-of-the-mill prick; now I can see he's also a total wackjob hateful conspiracy crank.

right, he never defends Trump in there, he's wrong about the hookers thing, it's the same tip he's been on for years: spiritual with a dash of conspiracy theory/new world order crank, disdain for the major media organs that made him a star and now no longer have any use for him. also he only ripped on anderson cooper because anderson cooper dedicated a 5-minute segment to mocking bill's cat magazine cover unprovoked. look, he was on mancow and mancow asked him if he understood why the pictures of him at disneyworld were funny. "no, i don't get it. we seem to live in a culture that thrives on misery..." and then wouldn't let it go for 10-15 minutes. it was great

Looking more and more like Walter Becker every day
I liked his comment about people hung up on the name change- "it's my real name, it's not like i named myself Quasar 47."
