Y'know, Corgan really isn't an unhandsome man. Why does he insist on looking like a cross between Uncle Fester and Mister Roarke?

so creepy

He said something at the time about wanting to be cured of his vanity or the like. Which was funny because his short hair dyed black look in mid to late 1995 was probably the best he'd looked yet.

condescending old fossils whose attention spans are so "long" that they only show up on threads about acts that peaked before 1996
I'm sure you will give up hobbies you no longer enjoy someday, and the Moldy Peaches peaked in 2001.

Attention SXSW showcasing artists: Billy Corgan has some fighting words. "I'm shocked by the lack of evolution in alternative rock music," he told me backstage after his Interactive panel with author Brian Solis on Monday. "Let me put it this way: I should not be here to the level that I still I am. If the music out there was that fucking great, where is someone crushing me on the numbers? They're not. Our generation crushed a lot of bands right out the fucking door. And they had to sit on the sidelines for 20 fucking years until people got nostalgic and brought that stuff back." His Smashing Pumpkins are readying the release of a new album, which Corgan says will be more of a multimedia experience. "I'm standing exactly where every artist should hope to stand," said Corgan, who remained in town to see the Yahowa 13 documentary The Source, which screens one last time Friday, 6:45pm, at the Alamo Lamar B. "The only thing left to do is be great."

hate to say it, but he's right. mainstream 'alternative' music is a wasteland compared to early 90s.
― Poliopolice, Thursday, 15 March 2012 18:26 (twelve years ago) link
I was going to say, cut through the self-aggrandizement and there's a defensible point there, even if it's undercut by differences in the market.

― some dude, Thursday, 15 March 2012 20:42 (twelve years ago) link
telling corgan but, tbh, i had no idea you added that fake one, he's said some really cringeworthy shit lately and i would not put that one past him in the least, given his attempts to be "funny"

The difference is that Corgan actually got credit on CS, Morbs.
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:18 (twelve years ago) link
Don't think he was even credited, was he?
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:57 (twelve years ago) link
Wait, I guess he was. So what was Courtney Love doing at the time claiming he didn't do anything if he's credited all over it?
iirc, she was just claiming that he didn't "write" the songs, but the general understanding was p much that he did, she was just trying to downplay his contributions
― stan this sick bunt (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:58 (twelve years ago) link
I thought the actual issue was that everyone assumed Billy wrote everything by himself and Courtney just sang them and her assertion was that they wrote them together as a collaborative effort; she definitely gave him a ton of credit in her most recent Behind the Music special.

it's true, though, who is corgan referring to when he talks about this golden age? smashing pumpkins, nirvana ... pearl jam? who does he see as the really great bands of the alternative era?

all those excellent bands who you don't remember because all the good music of the era was actually rap & metal & dance music
