Did you hear about this? He’s going to write it all standing on his head. I wonder if he’ll perform live shows upside down and what kind of equipment this would require...

Touche. But will he have all the band members playing upside down, and will he arrange it so that he can move around the venue and hover majestically over the crowd?

I've really run dry on making shit up about Mr. Corgan. It was either this or something about him consulting a special pixie for... well, it was less funny than this one, put it that way.

I swear there's a Japanese band that plays hanging upside-down. Like that's their gimmick. I can't for the life of me find anything but passing references to them on the internet, though.

I guess what I'm saying is, Billy don't reinvent the wheel, here

i was thinking if Billy had made the lyric "the girl is a vampire", what a major pop hitmaker he could have been.

He does need a new gimmick, though. I think he should perform shows while riding a pig around the stage. Has that been done?

If Billy decides he moves for no-one, he might end up standing and have the audience nailed to the ceiling by their feet. The pumpkins played a show at the Metro where they played on the floor and the audience were on the stage, so it's not without precedent

I have an idea, maybe he could have a posting spurt on a messageboard and go around posting 'wacky' posts all the time!

I'm not trying to be 'wacky'. I just happen to think Corgan is an unintentionally hilarious character, and that's why I'm spurting.

I'm not just talking about this thread, anyway I can't be arsed, I just thought I'd point that out cause I'm sure I'm not the only one who has noticed it.

Well, I hardly even come to this forum, and I'm being more whimsical than wacky. It's just lighthearted stupidity; it's not like there's any malice involved or I'm relentlessly trying to irritate people.

That's pretty much me, except for the you feeding me bit, and looking like a washed up Dave Grohl, or talking like a scottish lemme.

What are Grumble cakes?

I reckon he could take the Zero thing a stage further and play with a paper bag over his head. Kind of like slipknot but on a budget.
