Personally, I'm going to have to go with a no, and I don't think they'd go for it. I think it would be a distraction too because there would be backlash. 

I wonder if anyone in the USA knows who Chappers is?

Probably some because of the Andertons YouTube stuff but other than that not a lot, but I imagine lots of fans here would voice their opinions. It won't happen anyway. 

Andertons does seem to have a lot of US viewers and guitar stuff in general on YouTube seems to get American audiences (TPS has a majority of American viewers for example) so I guess he will be known by some. Chapman guitars had a US launch a few years ago, not sure how successful that was. Although I don't imagine that the Pumpsters are particularly looking for someone who will bring an audience with them.

This. 

Its genuinely incredible the seethe that a man whose worst crime seems to be "plays guitar in YouTube videos that nobody is in any way obliged to watch" generates.

Did I honestly read someone describe his clearly not entirely serious Instagram post as "publically pressuring" the Smashing Pumpkins? For real? 

Jesus Christ folks, calm the fuck down.

But it's not his worst "crime", is it?

Newsflash...


Just been confirmed Danish Pete has got the gig.

Corgan and co have just released the following statement:
‘We have long been fans. All of us loved his work with Westlife, Roman Keating, Girls Aloud and Atomic Kitten to name but a few. We just knew he was the right fit for us and with a resume like that we had to have him.’

Well we just proved that if a band want's free publicity then all they have to do is recruit a 'divisive figure' and the neural synapses of the interwebs will go into glorious meltdown. Modern celebrity breathes and thrives on the oxygen of division.

lol, he has said that he has emailed his info over to them and wanted to “reach out” with his instagram post as well. So, yes.. he’s made a bit of a spectacle about it coming across like a fanboy. And if he isn’t being serious then I’m not sure what you’d call it.

In order to “calm the fuck down”, one has to be excited. Which I guarantee you none of us here are

oh_pollo

He's doing that Schrodinger's Dickhead thing where a person changes the intention of what they said depending on the reaction. If nothing happens then he can say, "OMG of course I was joking...you people are unbelievable. Honestly." but if he got a whiff of Corgan's Big Muff do you think we'd ever hear the end of, "You know I was in talks with the Smashing Pumpkins but sadly we couldn't make it work as the Madison Square Garden gig clashed with my Andertons TV LandlordFX Blindfold challenge."

He stated that he emailed an application.. thus one would have to assume he's serious...  

..and then let it be known in the public domain...

so now when he doesn't get the job the internetz can point and laugh, right??

p90fool

"Schrodinger's Dickhead", perfect!

Really you should only do that if you're trying to get the Four Tops gig.....

Billy Corgan called Chappers, asked if he still had Rabea Masaad’s phone number

Sadly I do. I'm just growing intolerant of the permanent knicker wetting round here.

Can't we just get on with our sad old pentatonic noodling without such jealous bitter bedwetters?

On a side note, stick Wes Borland in there and see what happens
