First off … can you believe Zeitgeist hasn’t leaked yet? Who needs a power suit to inspire fear within the ranks of the Warner’s potential leakers when you’ve got a translucent shower shield vinyl, right? Well it isn’t much more than Corgan’s bath curtain cape that we’re getting with these advance pics from the “Tarantula” video shoot, but all this green screen action, this has gotta be promising. (All the better to project mushroom clouds over Paris?) Also, it’s the first clear shot of the D’arcy replacement, so enjoy that.


Take the jump for one more, of Corgain and the John Cusack-looking guy, looking less like John Cusack than before, but just as Zeitgeisty (new adjective!).

    The girl is Ginger Reyes of the band Halo Friendlies.

    They’ve been a local L.A. / O.C. band for ages & she’s played in a load of other bands as well. I think the guitar player was in this other local band, The Lassie Foundation.

    Do you think he chose the chick as a bass player because she was the best candidate for the job, or because she kept the demographics of the original line up the same?

  8. Sean  |   Posted on Jun 26th, 2007

    Bass player looks like Pam Anderson.

  9. Ju Bean  |   Posted on Jun 26th, 2007

    Well after watching 30 seconds of that video Lisa M. posted, playing with Billy is obviously the highlight of Ginger’s career.

    But for Billy, I’d have to say it’s all about the demographics of the band, because he used Melissa Auf Der Maur after the D’arcy split.

    I’d hit it.

  11. dannygutters  |   Posted on Jun 26th, 2007

  12. seth  |   Posted on Jun 26th, 2007

    i do believe the bass player girl has a loaf of bread wedged into the top of her head

  13. blah  |   Posted on Jun 26th, 2007

    first clear shot besides all the pictures on her myspace and official website

  14. Josh H.  |   Posted on Jun 26th, 2007

    I’m pretty sure the new guy is from the Lassie Foundation. Check them out. Hell of a lot better than left over pumpkins.

  15. josef  |   Posted on Jun 26th, 2007

    Billy should have hung it up long ago. he had talent, but then the fame went his head. like he has a message to deliver anymore. jeez, gimmie a break.

    wtf is up with chicago bands these days? first wilco lames out and now Billy won’t give it up.

  16. I’m with Borth Grobian. Billy Corgan just came back with the SP brand to earn some fast cash. Songs aren’t that clever and sincere anymore. Meh.

  17. Way to go Ginger

  18. KingHater  |   Posted on Jun 26th, 2007

    Now those are some stupid fucking outfits.

  19. john carnes  |   Posted on Jun 26th, 2007

    wow. john cusack is looking goooood.

  20. Spike  |   Posted on Jun 26th, 2007

    Can we get bigger pictures?

  21. pakman  |   Posted on Jun 26th, 2007

    it is nuts how corgan picked a bass player and guitar player that kind of look like d’arcy and iha.

  22. Hart Bochner  |   Posted on Jun 26th, 2007

    I’m pretty sure the bassist is Sierra Swan, Billy’s girlfriend…

  23. mccoolt  |   Posted on Jun 27th, 2007

    whats the reasoning behind wearing those outfits? to look stupid as hell?

  24. it’s what we’ll all be wearing in 2178. of course, by then, ming the merciless will have been defeated. oh, and i’m pretty sure that’s queen desira on the bass.

  25. Liam  |   Posted on Jun 30th, 2007

    these look like stills from a “mr. show” sketch that never made it to tv. way to make baby jesus weep, billy.
