Billy getting his head crushed.

I think people are unduly critical of Billy Corgan. The reason he played most of the parts of Siamise dream is because the rest of the band just weren't interested. I think his "whine" is something you either love or hate, much like Kim Gordon's voice (Ive heard people tell, me they would like sonic youth, but Kim's voice is to grating). For me his voice on all of the albums really makes the music work.

Would you look at that, you answered your own question.

I try not to let the reasons get in the way of enjoying what they are doing. I'm sure Billy wants some money but we know it can't be the only reason because he isn't exactly poor. He obviously wanted the Smashing Pumpkins back.

^^ I've wanted to see them live too. I got into them (the very first band I started listening to because the name sounded like a mean metal bands name to me) around 2002. A year to late, not that my parents would have let me go anyway.

HAHA I'm trying to pick a fight, honestly. I just can't get past Billy starting and abandoning projects after no one pays attention. Do you think if his solo career would have taken off he would need to bring back the pumpkins?

Alex's Trip · 04.23.2006, 11:47 AM

No he wouldn't have. But that might be because he was busy with a solo project.

I dont think billy would have made so many B-sides if he were soley in it for the money. He made some pretty good tunes for a while too. THey were just a band that had to die.

SP were very prolific at their peak.

I'm talking about now.
