For some reason, this story made my day.

2 years too late.  but as they say, better late than never.

The prevailing rumor is that Chamberlin wanted to take a few months to record another Jimmy Chamberlin Complex record and Corgan said he was either 100% devoted to SP or was out, and Chamberlin said hasta luego. If it's true then LOL @ Corgan because he's the one musician BC had worked with who he hadn't completely alienated.

jimmy sez: ?There is no drama, bad blood, or anything else but a full commitment to music. My best goes out to Billy and I?m glad he has chosen to continue under the (Smashing Pumpkins) name. It is his right. I will continue to make music with the Jimmy Chamberlin Complex as well as pursuing other musical interests. I feel that I have a long way to go and a lot to give.?

Translation - We couldn't come to  terms regarding my pay as part of billy's band, but i left the door open to return at a later day in case my other musical endeavors don't work out as well

I'd love to see him too, but he appears to be fully committed to playing only casinos.

Who knew Jimmy's other musical interest was playing in a band with Taylor Hanson.

That's James, the guitar player. Jimmy was the drummer.

This isn't even half of the story. Fans pretty much lol'ed at the idea and he got so mad he posted a multi-page missive about how he was the canceling the entire thing and about he how he was never trying to more than break even on the entire project. It was the most "I'm taking my ball and going home" thing I'd ever seen an adult do.
