What do you think he would have done instead? With the lukewarm reception of TheFutureEmbrace, do you think he would have continued with his solo career? Maybe he would have started a new band? Maybe he would have written another book. Or maybe he would have become a producer.

He might've commited suicide, for the aching inside of him to reform the band would be too great, and after a length of depression, he would go suicidal. Or not. Maybe i'm just joking, maybe not. Haha.

Good question, Murder. I think he would have pursued an autobiography, because his blogs did get alot of attention and interest would have gone well beyond Pumpkins fans. . . if anything to get the scoop on other celebrities Billy had contact with.

I recall him saying not so long ago that he wanted to write a children's book

I think he would have definitely become an interpretive dancer.

Hah wow thats harsh.


Anyway, I think Billy would have done something else musically. Probably not solo, though. I think he wouldve formed another band. Who knows, maybe hed reform Zwan........lol

No... Nope! Nada. No... Nuh uh.. No...

He had no alternative, but the sweet nectare of alternative rock and roll. Smashing Pumpins.

He would do what he's been doing for the past 20 years.

Making music
Producing
Collaborating
etc...

I think he'd make a second solo album and possibly more, another band would be a failure and i think he knows this.

RBD - maybe on some small level he'd do that, but he's made it quite clear recently that once he gets passed 40, he doesn't plan on "working" at the same level as before, if at all

This post towards me confuses me. I don't know wether it's an agreement, disagreement or a dig at me. This is a difficult one to respond to as i don't know the intention of it, so i will play it safe.

Well hitting the big 4-0 i think he will take on less work if he want's to, but if he is enjoying the work then he should do what he wants to and enjoys. With SP reformed, anything could happen. Who knows what lays ahead in the future? Billy may not even of reached his peak yet...

RBD - it was an agreement, I just don't think he will be nearly as prolific as before.
