Rumour has it his jacket still hasn't fallen off his shoulders
-
> Talks about Jedi Mind Tricks > Dressed like a Jedi > Has the same hairstyle as elderly Anakin before his death
-
"When you blame others you start walking down a hall of mirrors." Wow
-
Corgan needs to do his own podcast. Such a good talker/speaker.
-
billy is not even nearly the lunatic the media paints him out to be
-
I was ready to laugh at this but this is the most level-headed and self aware I've ever seen Corgan.
-
he's insanely intelligent.
-
"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." - Hunter S Thompson
-
Corgan is one of the greats. He can play like Hendrix, he can shred, he can strum an acoustic guitar, his song writing versatility is amazing. And he wrote some of the all time great alternative rock albums, and he's still making really good music.
-
Billy has some vocabulary! Machination, sycophants, parochial, zeitgeist, rapacious, conversant... great use of uncommon words.
-
Corgan is a genius, this is a timeless interview
-
One of the greatest songwriters and guitar players of his generation. I was in my teens during the Smashing Pumpkins peak. They were extraordinary in the early to mid 90's. Siamese Dream & Melon Collie and the Infinite Saddness albums back to back. Not many people can say that at one moment in their career they were in the biggest band on the planet. He legitimately can. Doesn't matter if it lasts a month or 5 years. To be able to say that for any amount of time is crazy.
-
Billy is such a wise dude. I could listen to him talk about this shit all day.
-
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are the best thing that came out of Florida
-
contract law should be taught in high school, kids dont realize what they are signing
-
The zeitgeist thing Billys talking about is how stars stay relevant. Most stars have a shelf live of 4 - 6 years. To stay relevant, the artist has to be able to read the changing environment and adapt to that.
-
"Disarm you with a smile" is still my favorite line from any S.P. song. The depth of it is just incredible
-
Billy considers himself a failure... Most great artists only have a couple of good albums; so I'd hardly say he failed.
-
" Jesus Christ they're dirty" perfection description of a good number of individuals who work for the labels. These interviews are gold.
-
This was one of my favorite interviews. Billy is so thoughtful and thought provoking. Also, the way he articulates and his ability to be retrospective is beyond words.
