So yeah, that came out of nowhere especially considering how they were both "As long as we're together, it's Smashing Pumpkins" and "We're in this till we die." And now Billy's the only remaining original member. Granted, I didn't like his solo album that much but as much of a stretch as it was to call it Smashing Pumpkins without James Iha, it's even more of one without Jimmy.
