things Billy Corgan said to Kim Thayil in Australia in 1994 poll

Damn it, you're right! I'll be in the Angry Dome!

woah just realized who wrote this, crazy how many names you can find lurking in the bylines of old spin magazines

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."

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".

Leaning towards voting for one of the astrological ones.

By which I am really voting for what Kim Thayil said to him.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

powerful white energy itt

lol

I'm a Pisces etc.

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.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

lol 89 people

Just heard Chris Cornell track off Simgles Soundtrack and thought fondly of this thread.

Maybe they're better bros or whatever, but I've never listened to a Soundgarden song without being like "hey, what's that over there?"

THE CORE

THE HEART MUSIC

ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN

Sounds likea Cocteau Twins lyric.

Billy Corgan is basically Greenberg

lol otm

Haha I was thinking of that pollwinning quote just last week when my little niece asked me "Do you dream, in your head?" when I go to sleep sometimes

the core, the heart music.

Punchable album covers.

I realize that the focus on the interview is Corgan and it should be, but let's not lose sight of the fact that Thayil comes off amazing, and not just as contrast.

Photographers still sticking him in the back. :(

hahahahahahahaha

Loooool

hes finally happy:)

twins, a real rockstar

The next day at the Big Day Out festival, Thayil is talking to Kim and Kelley Deal in the Breeders' dressing room when Corgan walks past wearing a long-sleeved Superman T-shirt like the one your four-year-old nephew probably owns.

"You hurt me deeply," Corgan says, touching the giant S on his chest and pouting. "You hurt me deeply in my heart."

Killing me that I'll never know what Kim Deal said right after this exchange

i imagine these quotes in andy warhol's voice

Cracking up so hard at this

after billy says "i'm a pisces", i picture him patronizingly leaning in closer and smiling before he drops "we know these things"

it's killing me that those aren't Siamese cats

back when billy's solo album was announced someone on a smashing pumpkins board i used to frequent mocked up a "billy and the cats" album cover in ms paint, let me tell you it bears uncanny resemblance to that paws cover

netphoria?

btw the best billy quote has to be "it's a gaultier" from the 2000 q magazine 'rudest man in rock' piece

netphoria?

blamo!

Billy Corgan has confirmed that drummer Mike Byrne is no longer with the Smashing Pumpkins. Asked by MusicRadar if Byrne would be drumming alongside newly-recruited percussionist Tommy Lee ... Corgan responded, "Mike, like Elvis, has left the building." …

When pressed for more details on the circumstances of the split, Corgan repeated, "Let’s just say that Mike, like Elvis, has left the building.”

That's unfortunate. Byrne was no Chamberlin, but couldn't complain about his drumming on Oceania. Wonder if he left or was pushed? I suspect the latter.

Thought this revival was going to be about Billy's take on the viral "Dear Kitten" video.

Wait Tommy Lee? THE Tommy Lee?

Looks like it. Is it April first? *checks calendar* Nope.

Even with Tommy Lee in the band, Billy Corgan still biggest dick in the Smashing Pumpkins.

well played

Tommy Lee can play, i could see this maybe actually turning out well. Byrne was not that great, which seemed odd just because why recruit an unknown teenager unless they were fucking amazing?

Good astrological mix?

Some guy was talking about SPs tonight and I brought up original topic of this thread, which will never grow old.
