Thoughts?

Is it just me, or there were more questions chosen? will there be a second part?

I remember the 'fatslug' video and the one with the fan club of some sort(the ones holding the flag). Hopefully a second part will be added

damn, they just end up seeming really old...

ugghh.... i hope there is a part 2. i want them to answer that fat kids question...

Hey! What happened to the fat slug kid?! I want to see their reaction when they see that question!
It was probably just a joke anyway, they wouldn't answer any James or D'arcy questions.

im interested in seeing the fatslug response, if they do make one...

oh yeah,,,,,,34 minutes gossamer coming to a town near you!!

The questions sucked and so did the answers.

nice scarf billy !

Damn you jimmy and your squeeky chair!

just a question (not a bash or anything)
what question would you have asked?

i didn't think they were that bad

there has to be a second part (i hope)

1fatslug will have them rolling on the floor

I don't have a profound question to ask, but if I were to submit a question it would be along the lines of this:

1.) Did you (Billy) really make an attempt at an "official" reunion, or was it planned from the start to include new members? Because James Iha claims he was never contacted about the reunion.

2.) Do you feel that this new incarnation of The Pumpkins will push away old fans, regain them, or simply appeal to a new generation?

3.) When interviewed, why is it only you two (Billy and Jimmy), who appear on camera? I think this is taking away an aspect of the band and leaving the already noticeable hole more apparent.

The only question I felt relevant was "How did they choose the songs for the current tour(s)."

I think they took this great idea of asking questions directly to the band, and half-assed the results. Their answers didn't seem heartfelt or well thought out.

I don't get the impression they'll do a 2nd update or anything....I believe the only 2 that were "selected" but not addressed there were the ones already mentioned (the fat kid and the fan club's vid that was extremely poorly shot and hard to understand). I bet they just decided not to deal with those 2. I would have liked to see their answer for the fat kid though.

on a serious note, I liked their answers...especially the first one. that gives some interesting insight into the goal of zeitgeist. and I can't wait to get my hands on an "official" recording of gossamer...especially when it's 32 minutes long!! rock on!

I haven't seen the answers yet but PistolPete, your questions are great and probably what we're all really thinking. Whether Billy and Jimmy would actually answer them is hazy though.

As for the other band members answering questions, I guess there just weren't enough submitted that pertained directly to Ginger or Jeff. And in my interview with Ginger, she frankly said that as of right now she and Jeff are not "official" Pumpkins and she's not sure if they ever will be, despite the fact that Billy's expressed interest in recording with them in the studio.
