Today is a good day to save.


Billy is very clearly wrapped up in his 90s success but does NOT want anyone to know.

Basically the personification of that "I'm not owned" Dril tweet

That's more than Hendrix, Cobain, Madonna, and about a million other cultural icons.

When he was on fire he was one of the all time greats.

He just also happens to be a MASSIVE MASSIVE dipshit.

I dunno if people don't notice but most people here enjoy the band, but enjoy making fun of Billiam Corrigan even more. The first run of the band was great, but the second run is hilarious.

Formerly-rampant human-coded AI with a sense of humor seeks bipedal oxygen-breathing cyborg for serious relationship in the galactic core. I've got cool guns if you like to break stuff. No yuppies.
at this point the band has been poo poo longer than it was good and I personally think that will get even funnier with time

On the other hand though, I'd be down to hear a guitar-heavy version of Eye. I still think the heavy version of Satur9 that was on Machina II was way better than the electronic version on Judas O.

This cover by Hopesfall hopefully will scratch that itch...

I had really hoped fatherhood had mellowed him out after he stopped going on Alex Jones but I think it was just management telling him to keep it quiet and he got bored of that.

Hey, Bill Maher is a step up from Alex Jones. It’s still insufferable, but it’s not actively hateful.

I mean it's the typical right wing grifter arc of desperately wanting to be adored for your art, sucking at it, and becoming a complete piece of poo poo. The only difference between Billy and Ben Shapiro now is that Billy actually got taste genius and actually deserved acclaim for a while.

It's too hard to write another actually good album so he'll end up scoring Daily Wire and Prager U movies in the next few years.

There's a fairly significant difference, it's like the difference between getting kicked in the dick and having a rat spend several days eating your dick while you're also being waterboarded. One being really, incredibly awful doesn't mean the other isn't also really awful.

Bill Maher is definitely actively hateful but if you told me "Billy Corgan just joined the podcasting network of someone the internet hates" I will say that Bill Maher is by far the best option unless the Krassensteins tried to start a podcast network. At least it's not Compound Media.

I am going to give gently caress head Alex Jones the biggest and most generous benefit of the doubt and posit that he doesn't actually believe in the poo poo he spouts, but says it because it gets him money and attention. He's horrendously awful because he doesn't give a gently caress who it hurts, like the families of the Sandy Hook victims. I truly hate him.

I think Maher gets a better rap not just for the obvious fact that he doesn't scream bullshit until his face turns red but also because, afaik, he used to kind of represent something better. But nowadays, he's horrible.

I've only seen one clip/episode of Maher from the 90s, I think? Scott Weiland was one of the guests and confessed that he struggled with an eating disorder which in retrospect is obvious but sheesh that guy went through so much poo poo :(

Just remembered because of Maher chat and listening to an interview where Billy talked about how he gave Stone Temple Pilots his blessing or some poo poo because he considered them to actually be pushing the envelope and evolving beyond other grunge bands. I mean he wasn't wrong and Billy was putting out solid gold throughout the 90s and way ahead of the curve but still that bald noggin' of his is way too freakin' huge.

If you’d like even more Billy Corgan in your life, don’t fret; Variety reports that he’s launching his own podcast on Bill Maher‘s Club Random Studios podcast network (along with Fred Durst, who will reportedly “host a show about UFOs and conspiracy theories”).

“I never knew Fred or Billy,” Maher told Variety. “But something good happens there, and I can feel like I’m best friends for life with somebody who I just talked to for an hour and a half. That’s the quality we want — a nighttime feel.”

I’m guessing if it’s only on the app, they’re just burning the show since who is going to watch it?

It was originally going to be on the CW proper but then Billy booked an angle involving cocaine on his wrestling show and they decided they didn't want to air it on the network. Hopeful that wasting all that money gets us the remasters faster to recoup the losses.
