"you hurt me deeply in my heart" is not complete without the image of corgan pointing to the superman logo on his chest/shirt

okay
Imagine Dawn Richard is singing all of Armor On and Goldenheart to Billy Corgan in a Superman t-shirt

This interview should have won a pulitzer. Best ever.
The winner has to be "..deeply in my heart", but they're all solid gold.

"I'm a Pisces, We pick up on those things" is 100x funnier in context:
"Aha!" Corgan says. "A Virgo. You're argumentative.""Damn right, I'm argumentative," Thayil says, and takes a long, angry pulll at his beer, "which you should know because I've been arguing with you for half an hour, not because of any sign.""I'm a Pisces," Corgan replies. "We pick up on those things."

"Songwriting for me is in the proximity of the possibilities," Cornell says later.
kinda wish this was an option tbh

I remember that year when Soundgarden and the Pumpkins were here, saw both twice iirc. Corgan was always a hippy twat, I'm suprised some people think that came later.
They were pretty damn good on that tour, that said. Cannot fucking believe that was 20 years ago, jesus fuck.

great poll, great interview. love that web.stargate.net still resolves. i think i musta read everything on there by now. and pulled a lot of tabs.
anyhoo honorable mention to "back to the core, the heart music. Echo and the Bunnymen." but i use "you hurt me deeply in my heart" way too often in real life to vote for anything else.

the corgan/thayil standoff has been etched in my brain for nearly 20 years as well
i bought this issue off the newsstand when it came out & instantly remembered the 'you hurt me deeply in my heart' comment when i saw this thread! kim thayil is the best. i'm sad that i probably recycled this issue just last year. the remnants of my mid-90s collection are still on my bookshelf & all i found were three different mid-90s SPIN, and one each of Alt Press and Raygun

i slept on this and i think i will go with "But I hate it, it means they don't think I'm the cute one."
so glad i didn't know corgan was such an annoying ninny when siamese dreams came out: for me that must be one of the very few "blessings" of not having access to the internet back then.

So this is where "You hurt me deeply in my heart" came from. What a total doink.

"Aha!" Corgan says. "A Virgo. You're argumentative."
This is so perfect. In my head, when I visualize this, it's like a joke from Futurama, where Corgan is Fry, and Thayil is Prof. Farnsworth.

After Soundgarden's set, the guys pile into the van, and a local radio station crackles into life. "Was Chris Cornell's voice as magnificent as it is on rec-awwd?" asks a DJ to a woman presumably calling from one of the dog track's pay phones."Oh yes," says the woman. She sighs. "It was incrediboo."
"Oh yes," says the woman. She sighs. "It was incrediboo."
There should be a sub-poll forthis exchange.

I'm completely ignorant of Kim Thayil's side of this exchange, please enlighten me.

No, no, no. Just "rec-awwd" vs "incrediboo".

The only issue with this interview that I have had since I first read it was that I am not sure whether Kim looks even cooler than he is or whether Billy looks even douchier than he is. I usually go with Kim because Billy was already pretty douchy to start and didn't have very far to go.
