holy lolBilly Corgan posted:the album, as yet to be written, would be conceptual in nature, where each of us would play a garish, cartoonish version of our public personae to both invite controversy and curiousity Billy Corgan posted:With touring, the remaining members quickly abandoned the agreed upon conceptual / performance aspects, leaving me to play my character alone, much to the consternation of fans and media alike. imagine giving a poo poo that Billy was the only person on stage taking this seriously "but mah immersion"

Billy Corgan posted:“It would be probably lean more acoustic. I would think it’s a bit weird [to make] a wild Christmas records,” Corgan continued. “Although, I also like ‘Jingle Bell Rock’, which is basically 1950s rockabilly. But I don’t know. When I think Christmas music, I tend to think something you want to put on and sit around the tree with the kids and not rock out to. I don’t see us doing a rocking-out Christmas album.” I love how every time Billy gets in front of cameras he appears semi-normal - self-aware and insightful, even - but as soon as they shut down he goes back to being a complete madman olives black fucked around with this message at 16:50 on Nov 20, 2018 |

You ever get hit with the thought that you're the Billy Corgan in someone else's life story hard enough that it fucks you up for at least a good 5 minutes

SUNKOS posted:I think it was awful that he actually got poo poo for doing that. Why was a CNN anchor mocking Billy for doing that? Oh no, a rock star posed with some kittens for a humane organization in his hometown. I can't wrap my head around how anyone could see that and decide to poo poo on it. CNN is made by and for shitlibs

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Don't forget how Howard Stern once claimed that he gave Billy (back) his fame. I believe it was because Howard had Billy on to promote Oceania. I remember that interview. My favorite part was Howard Stern backing Billy up on his distaste for James Iha doing a solo record without his knowledge. Howard was like "yeah, that would affect you guys, he should have put the band first." How. How, motherfucker, is Iha's solo record going to affect you? If it sucks, won't that just confirm to everyone that you're the irreplaceable one? Isn't that what you've wanted all along? Because if not then just leave him the gently caress alone.

Maybe the situation changed during Mellon Collie, but I remember multiple sources stating that Billy re-recorded most if not all of Iha's and D'Arcy's parts on Siamese Dream. He's also stated in multiple interviews that he didn't think much of Iha and D'Arcy as musicians. With all that in mind, where did he get off trying to keep them under his thumb like that? If they're effectively just employees who show up for live performances and photo shoots then leave them alone when they're not on the clock.

Djarum posted:Billy recorded much the guitar and bass on Gish and SD because he could get them done in one take. Back then studio time was very expensive and they weren't a successful band yet so the record company isn't going to shell out more money to get something done. After Siamese Dream was a huge success they basically were able to do whatever they wanted for the most part, which is why you didn't have Billy playing everything anymore. Butch Vig has basically said this consistently and I'll take most non-Billy takes on things as the truth since Billy likes to tell stories when it suits him. That makes more sense. Still sounds like working with Billy is creatively stifling as gently caress, though. l remember him complaining about two of his most recent bandmates having a separate project, as well. If that's truly not a problem for him, why doesn't he just do what Devin Townsend does and contract people if he's that worried about people's availability?

Cheesus posted:Back in the early 90s, I was surprised by the Metallica (black album) singles that included demos for the songs along with catty commentary from Lars on the sleeve, like "Jamez and Lars only; Jason and Kirk not around as usual!" Yeah, he does appear to have matured a little on that front in recent years. I don't feel like it's my place to comment on the sharing of songwriting credit as I'm not in the biz, but I I like think that I would have been very conscious of the importance of presenting a unified front to the media at all times. Just neverending lols at how insane everyone's egos are in this business. You share a tour bus for months on end with these people, so maybe leave the bitching out of the liner notes and interviews? You got the money AND the creative control, that really oughta be enough
