and he's still writing great songs. so who is stuck in the 90s?

My favorite part of the headline is that the ellipsis is so brilliantly placed as to take the quote completely out of context. That's how you get a green!

This. Zeitgeist was a brilliant album. Corgan recorded the guitar, bass, keyboard, and vocal parts all himself. He's pretty the much the man.

You know, 15 years ago when I came up with this screename, putting the SP at the end to signify my favorite band seemed like a brilliant idea in my 13 year old mind. Awesome foresight there young MuckSP.

Is it too much to ask for him to just shut his stupid whore mouth and get back to writing early/mid-90's-style when he didn't completely suck horse balls?

/this is why 99% of musicians/celebrities shouldn't blog

oh wow, he recorded all the parts himself?! no one in the history of music has ever done this and i'm 100% sure that there aren't fifty million other bands using this same method today and throughout recorded music history!!

seriously though, billy...the only people that read this are people like me that can't believe you're still actually writing/discussing things like this.

he wrote it on his site. if non-fans are going to his site to gawk that he's actually still writing, well ... that says a lot more about their boring life, amirite? it's not his fault the sun-times reprinted his blog. i'm sure he doesn't give a fark what you think.

This is guy is potentially the biggest blowhard in the history of popular music, and that is saying something. But, that has nothing to do with me not liking any of the music he's put out since Adore. No, I haven't heard the albums. Major label artists are granted the epic free commercial that is an album's first single. If you fail to engage me, I may or may not check out the album. I did own the Zwan album for a while because someone gave it to me. It was awful.

well, you're the douche who didn't read it in context. he was saying that if you wanted to interpret his songs that way, then that's who you'd think he is ... he also mentioned it was a "character" on stage. is Bowie an idiot for playing an alien? please.

and "Wentz" is the gayest farking meme ever. yeah, pete wentz is a douchebag. guess what? he's the one who said his name has become synonymous with 'douch' on the internet and now you're using it. so i guess since you're following his created meme, you're kind of a douche too right? please, quit forcing this meme. no one is using it, and no one is laughing with it.

no, it isn't noteworthy because it's usually the way music goes and is so wretchedly average. I'm sorry you took offense in regards to your beloved Billy but the truth is that bands you like do it all the time, bands I like do it all the time, and bands neither of us like have been doing it and will do it all the time too. it's not that it's not important, it's just that it doesn't stand out to me because many people are somehow still unaware that this is how many, many, (most), many bands work.

welcome to Fark, where links from other places we wouldn't normally visit are posted for us to view or not view. I'm tired of this argument that "if you don't care then don't click" or "says a lot about YOU". it doesn't. it takes 30 seconds to read and 15 seconds to type something in and move on. I'm doing the same exact thing everyone else is doing on the internet except not taking it so gosh darn seriously.

mainly though, it's not the fans that bother me or the fact that people are fans of seemingly nutso people (because I'm sure we all are, the best are indeed crazy), it's just that this guy is a major douche and needs to realize that. I could say the exact same about a few bands that I absolutely love and borderline worship, so...I dunno how to finish my statement so I will say onion belt.

They all like fishsticks. There doesn't need to be any more arguing about it.

Smashing Pumpkins = worst reunion ever. Sorry Billy, but a long winded response still doesn't hide the fact you did Zwan and your solo record before deciding your solo songs could be released as Smashing Pumpkins.

TeddyRooseveltsMustache [TotalFark] 2009-04-10 04:39:27 PM  
Billy Corgan seems to want to sound artsy with that kind of comment. But nobody is going to care about your art when you berate your fans for showing up to one of your "performances" that actually is a thinly veiled euphemism for a speech with the general synopsis: "I think you all suck, why would you bother coming to see me? I am so much better than you. Buy my albums. Or don't. I don't care, because that's how cool I am.". Billy Corgan should dine upon a used urinal cake.

I will never know why fans put up with self important douches like Corgan. There's a million, zillion, upteenkajillion awesome albums out there you've never heard, and you might fancy a few of them if you just got off your arse and started looking for them.

I have my artists that I worship (Brian Williams, Moritz von Oswald & Mark Ernestus) but if they decided to be complete dicks I could always go listen to something else.

Of course, those guys are awesome so that will never be a problem.

Or, you know, you could just listen to the music because it is good and you enjoy it. And not give a crap what the person is really like.

Yeah, if you enjoy the music, that's cool. However, I would have a hard time handing Billy my money at this point in time if I was a Smashing Pumpkin fan. Like I said, there's a lot of artists who aren't dicks.

I would too, but not because he is a pretentious dick, but because his music is lacking. (IMO)

I actually prefer my rock star heros to be dicks and over-the-top arrogant pricks, that is why they are rock stars. Smash rooms, talk sh*t, carry themselves with a bad ass swagger, go around f*cking models, get blasted and say something stupid. That is how I would roll if I had enough talent to make it in music.
