x-x
x-x
7-9

That's all Black Sabbath. You can hear it all over Corgan's
entire catalog. The octave chords with the droning notes, all Tony Iommi.
So much of his playing is 100% influenced by Sabbath. I know he's mentioned it in interviews before how they influenced him, but it still feels severely understated just how big of an influence on his style it has been.
