we have this other problem with white bros who are preemptively worried that if they start spewing some racist garbage they might get their feet held to the fire a little instead of just given the "aww, Billy, he's just being Billy! let the man have his epithets, after all he's made so much terrible music!" treatment

SP sorta flies under the radar these days but they sell out every place they play. granted, those are 2,000-5,000 seat theaters, but he's doing pretty good for himself. fwiw, this latest run of In Plainsong shows was the best he's sounded in years.
― flappy bird, Monday, 16 May 2016 22:30 (seven years ago) link
so basically, he is at the same stage of his career now as the guy from styx was in 1992

Chris Cornell is doing the same... Pearl Jam are the only contemporaries of his that are still playing arenas & stadiums.

Chris Cornell just played the Royal Albert Hall in London, which is pretty prestigious tbh, and Soundgarden headlined Hyde Park a few years back (though it did not sell out, and they were support to Sabbath there two summers ago)

SP just did three nights at the Beacon Theater in NYC, I saw them at the Lincoln Theater in DC, all were sold out... i think they're operating at the same level rn

I just watched Author: The JT Leroy story on Amazon and did not know how involved Corgan was with the whole saga!
Better yet I can now confirm actual audio of a phone message in which Billy refers to himself in third person as "the Corganator"

haha yeah that part is so funny (though that's not the dude the dude, it's like the husband of the woman wrote "JT Leroy" and the brother of the woman who played "JT Leroy")
the whole thing is so weird

there's a classic Billy quote in the 1994 SPIN Artist of the Year piece by Azerrad:
Corgan is still wearing that lumber jacket. "I hate being cold," he explains. "It reminds me of when I got punished when I was a kid and got sent down to the basement."

he wrote a pretty heartfelt thing about Scott Weiland when he passed. I'm sure he'll do the same for Cornell. becoming a father seems to have mellowed Billy... to an extent
― flappy bird, Thursday, 18 May 2017 16:46 (six years ago) link
if he does i really hope he mentions when he was on tour with soundgarden in australia in 1994

Yeah that's nuts. Seen him live with that one several times. The Orange box as well.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 13 July 2017 18:58 (six years ago) link
Why would he sell this stuff? He can't be THAT hard-up, can he? Maybe he needs cash to buy more Infowars-branded supplements.
― Sam Weller, Friday, 14 July 2017 09:00 (six years ago) link
Well, if the gold thing is true, he's probably not the most financially savvy guy around.

There was a point in time where I would have loved to own a guitar that Corgan played on the early Pumpkins stuff, but that was two decades ago...
― The Anti-Climax Blues Band (Turrican), Friday, 14 July 2017 12:17 (six years ago) link
xpost He's doing fine. He was sorta like Jagger, always had good business sense (at least when SP was massive), also he never had a drug problem, that's almost always what drains the bank accounts of rock stars... he's sold gear before on eBay and it all went to charity, maybe this'll be the same. I've noticed that he's been laying low this year - he has a solo album that he did with Rick Rubin that's been finished for months, it was supposed to come out in April/May (called The Land of Maybe). I think he's trying to get festival bookings for a full SP reunion in 2018, and someone finally told him that if you lay low, people will care about you more when you come back.
