William Patrick Pumpkin, Esq.

In an alternate universe, he's introducing himself to his daughter's new boyfriend with a firm handshake and a "Hi. Bill."

You hurt me Billy, in my heart.

Aha! A Willy. You're argumentative.

"You hurt me deeply," Corgan says, touching the Cricket Australia logo on his chest and pouting, "you hurt me deeply in my heart."

has anyone ever seen billy corgan and irvine welsh in the same room together?

jokes about how shaved head dudes look alike

as a sometime-shaved-head dude i strongly rebut any suggestion that i resemble irvine corgan

(mainly becuase i wear glasses)

Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera

Huh.

Billy Corgan is large?

Huh, he's about the same height as me. I'd always assumed he was a titch.

yes, corgan is large. also that tweet is more than 140 characters. i can tell by the pixels.

he is v tall but strangely has a napoleon complex

No recordings or setlists from the Australia leg of the Siamese Dream tour have ever surfaced before now. This is the infamous show where, on his way to the stage, Billy walked past Kim Thayil and told him he hurt him deeply in his heart. Check out the Superman longsleeve. Pumpkins start at 32:50. Breeders right before.

This is am important find. Thank you, flappy bird.

Flappy bird is for posterity!

This is the infamous show
Are you basing this just on Billy's shirt? Youtube description says this is Auckland - Billy probably wore that shirt on each stop of the festival.

Rats! I misread the article before posting, thought it said it was a week later, not a day later. That would make the infamous show 1/23/94 in Melbourne. A setlist is extant, and opening with Geek U.S.A. fits the "scrim of anger" description by the author.

This has been Corrections and Confessions with Flappy bird. have a good one :^)

The way I read the article, the show was at the Gold Coast. Kim, Billy etc. flew up and had their initial interaction the day before the show. Of course, Jonathan Gold could've moved events around for comedic effect...

The whole exchange happened at the first show on the Gold Coast, but the "hurt me deeply in my heart" happened the next day in Melbourne.

btw happy birthday billy!

On today's show: Smashing Pumpkin's Billy Corgan will demolish social justice warrior brainwashing in studio.

great news

oh no

the last time he was on he said "I think it's very astute of you to call it an Infowar."

things Billy Corgan told a loony-bin broadcaster were 'astute' in Internet

christ he really does have the mind of child

oh

http://pitchfork.com/news/64926-billy-corgan-compares-social-justice-warriors-to-the-kkk/

oh, billy.
oh no.

That's what exposes them every time and you guys are doing a great job of exposing that but most people–most people–who are not down there at the rally and spinning their Twizzler and making up stories about ghosts that don't exist–and it's a lot of fantasy stuff going on there. I mean, it literally could be a wizard world convention.

glad billy pumpkin is here to warn us of the dangers posed by fantasy stuff, nerds assembling in groups, and making up stories about ghosts that don't exist

Billy is essentially a massive fantasist, isn't he? All that stuff he was guffing a few years back, about how he and Kurt were the two scribes of their generation, and no one else could touch them... Crazy. I mean, I like the first two Smashing Pumpkins albums, but I find it hard to get past that contemporaneous review that they sound like Roxette produced by Alan Moulder.

ghosts that don't exist

And again–you haven't said this here so it's not again–the lack of tolerance of ideas and other points of view is the great Achilles heel of the social justice warrior movement.

so champion of free speech billy corgan isn't down with tolerating people talking about injustice huh

hypothetical Star Wars holodeck type of way

GODDAMMIT BILLY THE HOLODECK IS STAR TREK

the last time he was on he said "I think it's very astute of you to call it an Infowar."

haha

from the new interview: "Like I've said before, I think it was very prescient of you to call it an Infowar."

I came in the door I said it before
I think it was very prescient of you to call it an Infowar

the fluoride in me is the fluoride in you

lot of facepalming and easy jokes here, not a whole lot of arguing with what he, you know, actually said

i thought it was a great interview. i thought he had a lot of interesting and insightful things to say. i take issue with his use of "social justice warrior," incredibly stupid phrase, but other than that, it was surprisingly good, much better than his previous two appearances on Infowars. I watched the interview live, and I didn't expect it to make any headlines. But of course, Pitchfork and Stereogum completely misrepresented what he said in their headlines and write ups. Sort of makes you lean toward Corgan and Jones' media complicity theory.
