“Since no one else has made a thread I figure I should. I think I caught most of the chat, so here’s a few points I can remember for anyone interested.
- It was just Billy and Kristin.
- Billy joked about how he (and then Kristin) would take their tops off if they got to a hundred viewers (they didn’t) like those “sex cam videos”. Clearly BC knows what he’s talking about there.
- A couple of times BC mentioned how he and Jeff had been discussing a new release method for TBK, but he wouldn’t say any more about it.
- The next song will be released “soon”, but again no real indication how long that means.
- After being asked for a clue about what the next song is, Billy said he couldn’t give a clue cos then everyone would know which song it was.
- Plans for touring Aus/NZ, as well as the UK, and going back to Asia later in the year.
- There will be no more soundcheck party shows with new songs. BC said it was great to get to try out the new material in front of a small crowd, but it was too hard on his voice.
- The band plan to record again in October.
- When asked about what he was listening to/last record he bought, etc. Billy got really uptight and didn’t want to answer. Saying things like “most people don’t listen to music the way I do, so they wouldn’t understand”. Some guy in the chat said “most great musicians have shit taste in music anyway” and BC got pissed off.
- Someone else asked if Jeff and Nicole would be playing their parts in the studio, Billy dodged this question (I think it was this question – he didn’t actually read a question out before) by saying “people who have been fans a long time should know there’s certain questions I just can’t answer”.
- The box sets/album re-issues are held up by EMI being pricks, apparently. Doesn’t seem likely any time soon. The album tours would coincide with these, if they ever happen.
- BC talked again about how great the chemistry with this new band is, how much fun they’re having etc. He says it’s the first time he’s actually hung out with the band since Gish/SD era. Mike is so excited about everything everywhere they go. (He said he hung out with the band in the Zwan days, but that was “different”…)
- The logistics of touring mean they didn’t break even on the tour they did in the States recently, and that’s why they can’t go to as many places as they used to in the MCIS days.
- Continuing on that topic, BC mentioned how he’s thought about one day doing a solo acoustic tour, where he would play songs from all eras including Chicago Songs, Zwan, etc. as well as SP. But the problem with that would be getting a crowd to stay quiet enough for it – he cites the mainstream fans wanting to see the hits as a restriction on what he feels able to play. He also mentioned how hard it was just to get the record release crowd to be quiet, so why try at other bigger venues?
- After the questions about who would be playing in the studio and what he was listening to, he got more annoyed and started saying he had to go – if anyone had any questions he could answer then they should ask them now. There wasn’t much more, but the same guy who asked about what he was listening to kept coming back with stupid comments, so BC eventually got pissed off and just said goodbye and ended the chat.
Oops, didn’t mean to write so much! Well, I think that’s all the most important points anyway, if anyone has anything else to add feel free.
The most exciting news (I think) is that the TBK release method is under review. Hopefully this will mean we get more music more regularly, but it could go the other way!”
