Since I am a lead guitarist in an alternative rock band and a fellow Strat wielder my question is to Billy.

I know on the studio recordings you layer tracks over and over to create that distinct thick and full sound, My question is what amps do you like to use for the high gain/fuzzed up/distorted tracks?


thanks

I will be seeing you guys for the second time in Boston Nov 15th!!!!!

People who defend Zeitgeist from Zeitgeist haters often argue that it was meant to be a straight-up hard rocking record; you were finding your feet again with the Pumpkins; and others.

People who defend G.L.O.W. from G.L.O.W. haters often argue that you were making a song suitable for playing on Guitar Hero; you were making a catchy pop rock song that would appeal to a wider audience; you put in on GH to lure fans of the game to your music...

My question to SP is this: What were your intentions when you were writing and recording Zeitgeist and G.L.O.W.?

If you don't want to ask them about Zeitgeist just make the question directed to G.L.O.W.

I would love to see this. A show in high def quality. Definately beats watching clips on youtube.

How much rehersal time is being planned for this tour? What song can we expect for the tour.

You get my point.

Spiteface.

eh spiteface isn't as good as there it goes and nothing and everything... "There it goes... playing with my heart again..." we all know the lyrics deep down.

I like "not worth asking" and "she" from that time period.

...and Jennifer Ever.

What will the fans get to do at the ,,Meet & greets" at the 20th anniversary shows? I mean...I know it's ,,meeting and greeting", but what exactly?
And will there be V.I.P. Packages for future tour dates, also in Europe?
