Flashback (November 2017):
"Corgan was a guest on The Joe Rogan Experience to promote his new album, Ogilala. During one portion of the chat, Rogan took an easy shot at Canada’s favorite “guilty pleasure,” Nickelback. Perhaps surprisingly, Corgan immediately went to bat for the much-derided rockers, saying frontman Chad Kroeger is “an incredible songwriter.”
According to Stereogum, he continued by labeling the band badasses and essentially saying their songs are musical porn for the pop masses. “I don’t know enough about their world, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong if that’s who you want to be,” Corgan told Rogan. “Pop is predicated on satisfying. I’ve said many times pop is porn. It’s porn, they want to get you off. It’s just how they’re going to get you off. I’m not that concerned with getting you off, I’m just not.”
Stay tuned for the announcement of the Smashing Pumpkins/Nickelback 2018 joint headlining tour. And don’t expect Slipknot to be the opening act."
