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

Corgan is one of those rock icons that make me think dying from an overdose would have been less sad.

Hehehe!

That Rickenbacker 360 purchased from Courtney Love is full of alt-rock history.

It's not just her guitar that's been full of alt-rock history, tbf.

Ugh

I think he's trying to get festival bookings for a full SP reunion in 2018,

not with D'Arcy on bass, surely?

was that really necessary Turrican

jesus...

_I think he's trying to get festival bookings for a full SP reunion in 2018,_

yes, they're in contact and have been since last year

What? I was talking, of course, about the Alt. Rock Hall of Fame...

Some of these guitars look pretty cool tbh, really love the James Trussart Rustomatic but they're expensive enough when they're not previously owned by someone famous.

Wow, is there really no ILX Jonathan Gold appreciaation thread? RIP JG, one of the best.

holy shit, Jonathan Gold wrote this piece??

...the same Jonathan Gold?

Yeah he wrote a lot about WC Gangsta Rap & pre-/post-Nirvana-grunge for the LA Weekly, LA Times & SPIN. He was at all the club shows... Al's Bar, Jabberwocky, Raji's.

Wow

I meant Jabberjaw, not Jabberwocky! That's what I get for posting in the middle of the night.

lol, just stumbled upon this video of Billy interviewing an openly-contemptuous Nick Cave.

lol, amazing

lol great find

Easter came early.

I love that MTV wasn't like 'eh, we can't air that' but rather like 'oh, we MUST air that'.

loooooool

*makes dick-sucking motion with microphone* and it all goes downhill from there.

Love it when he calls Cave English

hahaha none of you have seen that before? I think about it semi-often

"I mean you know, for the typical American teenager, it's all the same."
"Yeah well it's not."
"I know I'm sorry."
"You said you're a teenager? How old are you?"
"27."
"Right."

🤣🤣🤣

its awesome to watch Billy eat shit bc it so rarely happens. there was a great one maybe 5 years ago when he was on an Australian morning show to promote a festival appearance by SP (I think the Download Festival or something). at the end of the interview, the host said "Hope you have a good time at Download!" and Billy just said "What's that?" DEAD AIR 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

yeah it’s amazing to see billy actually feel uncomfortable and painfully uncool

there’s not a second of it that’s not golden but my favourite part might be the footage of cave and the seeds giving it their all in front of a bemused audience in full blazing sunshine

Love it when he calls Cave English

it's even better when he quadruples down and claims that Germany, England and an entire continent on the other side of the planet from them "all look like" one country, from as far away as America

he was mocking Americans when he said that, but didn't give it the right polish

yep, he half-assed the self-deprecation and it backfired

I love that MTV wasn't like 'eh, we can't air that' but rather like 'oh, we MUST air that'.

yep, he half-assed the self-deprecation and it backfired

my favourite part might be the footage of cave and the seeds giving it their all in front of a bemused audience in full blazing sunshine

Aw, you were an adorable little scamp back in the day, Billy, don't sell yourself short.

“So, my looks were not part of anybody’s formula as far as the success of the band. It was never talked about. Photographers would try to stick me in the back of photo shoots with the band and put other people [in front of me]. I swear to God… Well, you know, things change.”

dogg you're like half a foot taller than your bandmates!!

“I have two distinctive and handsome people in the band whom I do not permit to play on our records. I’ll be FUCKED if I let them appear in the photographs instead!”

lol that's not billy corgan

Looks as if the Pumpkins were part of that power pop Paisley psych look that Redd Kross/Posies/Jellyfish were giving off circa 1990

oh yeah, the gish era was 100 percent that
