He said the songs for Oceania were already written, so there's probably a few we know about on there. I know the guy writes songs like a machine, but im sure he'd want to use songs like ARB, and Lonely on the album, because he knows there's a demand for them from the fan base. The majority will probably be new, but id wager there are 3 or 4 we know already.

If you are referring to that ridiculous "Noah's Ark" song title, then don't hold your breath. A similar tracklisting floated about for EP 2...something to the effect of this:

1) Freak
2) Tom Tom
3) As Rome Burns
4) Noah's Ark

We all know that was a hoax. Probably somebody taking advantage of the gullible.

Haha. Yeah that's what we were talking about. Some song about an Igloo too. I forget the name.
I'm not holding my breath.

Oceania will be all new songs:

1 - Tribute to Jess
2 - Veronica is the Name
3 - I love Australia (but hate the people)
4 - My Love is Kangaroo
5 - As Queensland Burns
6 - Blyclone
7 - Circular Quay
8 - West Coast Eagles
9 - When the Galah's Crow

Anyway, I don't care much if older or new stuff is on this as long as Billy sticks to the September time frame.

[stickman0779]

"Jesus needs a hit" should be on it for sure

Really want As Rome Burns and 99 Floors

[wombat77]

Oceania will no doubt rock our worlds so let’s wish Billy and the gang the best in the studio! Forget the past…. The future is now thanks to Billy, Jeff, Nicole & Mikey…..May they produce the most awesome sounding tunes that we could ever behold. Lets hope for songs we have not heard and the beautiful songs we already love such as…. Caroline, Yes…. Circular Change….. West Coast….. Emerald Green is The Color…. The Trip….. As Rome Burns…. and My Love is Winter!!!!!
It’s these songs and their unique sound that will bring the true hardcore fans together, not the Siamese dream era sound… those people will continue living in 93′ if they want. So for those that can’t wait for the new album, you can tell the ugly fans of the past to shut the f**k up…. in a nice way!
Love, Empathy, Hope, Love, The Smashing Pumpkins forever……no matter what!

Oceania will rock…. This ain’t no Hills shit over here, we ain’t rockin’ that shit!!

FUCK

[scottytheoneandonly]

who the hell is justinpeterson and why is he doing Monte's job on Twitter?

[LostSoul]

How does he release two of the 20th Anniversary songs and not complete the set? Fuck.

He always pulls this shit. Every single time. He buries his best material. I would much rather have gotten ARB over Owata.

Well, don't play it live anymore, either. Because then thats just mean.

I know this is an immature thing to say, but I'm not looking forward to Oceania as much. I really thought it would be on there.

:banghead:/>

[oryann]

what a surprise. this better not mean he won't do Lonely or MLIW either..

[LostSoul]

^If he scraps those as well, I ain't even listening to Oceania when it is released. Because that would be the most moronic decision ever for him.

"Hey, lets take some of the only true old SP-caliber tracks we have and make them disappear. You know, the ones we've been teasing live. The ones all of the fans actually enjoy."

...do u think he could be lying? Is it really so much to say he's messing with us? Or could it be that As Rome Burns will be a part of Teargarden but not on Oceania. That sounds more plausible. But if he never releases it I'm going to be doing this :banghead:/>

[LostSoul]

Usually, "that ship has sailed" means never. I don't think he would use the term if there was still a chance beyond Oceania... :nope:/>

Yeah, really. For years too. I'd understand it more if he's been playing different songs here and there, and ARB was just one of them that got a few plays. But come on.. for THAT long? And it's scrapped? I wouldn't doubt the others being scrapped too, which pisses me off.

Let's just hope he doesn't :/.

[LostSoul]

Agreed. I don't know why he even brought it back for 2010 then. Instead of teasing the fans, he should have buried it with Jimmy.

Definitely. Let's hope he's either joking, or he has some song of equal rage and brutality up his sleeve. Goddamnit I want some straight up rocking-Billy-screaming at the top of his lungs stuff coming out of the studio.

But yeah, agreed as well about the not bothering bit. If Lonely and MLIW are buried too.... Well that's a lie, I'll probably listen to it no matter what. The real point will be if I like it or not, which if those songs are out, I probably won't. Unless Billy just got struck with extreme inspiration and all this new material will be absolutely golden. Never know I suppose.

[lemonscure]

It's an amazing song. I honestly, without any lie, can say, that As Rome Burns is the best song for me since original SP broke up. No matter how many times I've listened to it, I still like. And that means it's a true SP song. It never bores me. It's a beast. And Billy shouldn't keep that beast in a cage, imo. Release it with full power, and let us enjoy it. Also, If Quasar, Lonely and Winter will be forgotten too, then shit.. Those four songs are the best of all this TbK stuff that we know (released/unreleased). But then again, he lied about Tom Tom being unrecorded, when it was finished.

..


'there are many live recording blah blah blah' my answer to this - We need As Rome Burns on Oceania!!! Just for once Billy, do what fans want you to do. We won't be disappointed by this action (Rome being on Oceania). Unless you destroy it with poppy synths in the studio.

Monte now has an assistant? GOOD GRIEF!

so is Monte running Billy's fan and friends fb page? Clearly he is not running Billy's William Patrick Corgan's family fb page

I'm going to catch hell for this, but who is Monte? What do they do, and why are they important? I keep seeing the name but I never actually found out who they are..

I asked Billy last night at the wrestling event if they were all completely new songs or if they were songs that have been floating around recently and he said he didn't want to answer. I also asked about As Rome Burns and he said it would not be recorded and that its not where his heads at. He said it would have been a good song for Zeitgeist. Also while he was signing my greatest hits CD booklet he was telling me that when he was talking to the wrestling people he wanted to come to the ring to Cherub Rock and they didn't appear to have even heard of it. He was looking through the booklet and said he didn't think it was on there and I said that it was. Billy didn't even know that Cherub Rock was on the CD.

[lemonscure]

You should have asked him why shitty songs such as FOL and GLOW have been released instead of As Rome Burns while Jimmy was in SP, and why he played it live during 2010 if he doesn't want to record it.. :rant:/> :/ and why As Rome Burns was listed on TbK whiteboard, if it's a Zeitgeist song?

Why did you not inquire about where his head is at? I know it's not up his ass, but it's somewhere
