Corgan always trying to wave the punk flag and the business flag simultaneously
one moment it's the band is "anarchic, not wave the pop flag and get on" and the next it's crying about hipsters and some corporate jargon about the scarcity principle |

"We recorded 8 songs and hope to put them out this year..."
Pretty much means you're just getting Solara. And no way in bloody hell did he drink with Pantera. |

Billy's insecurities:
"I’m almost 30 years in as a quote/unquote “professional musician.” " |

Jeff Schroeder (PhD in comparative literature):
I never really thought about it in that way of, “Oh, I should do some extra.” I just think that what I learned from joining the band 12 years ago is that there’s kind of a high demand for putting out quality work or a quality show. So it’s just kind of looking around and looking at what needs to be done, I guess different than other bands, which Billy and I to this day shouldn’t be shocked at that. People in the industry that work for you tend to be shocked that you actually care about how your guitar sounds or what you look like or what the video looks like, what the lights look like, what the sound is like. And so I think it’s just across the — I think you would find that all of us care that much. It’s not just me, it’s that we all care. |

Especially Jeff always takes care for a continuing good look of himself.
Like..with his guitar playing https://i1.wp.com/beardedgentlemenmu...pg?w=650&ssl=1 http://cdn3-www.mandatory.com/assets...up-642x362.jpg https://media.npr.org/assets/img/201...3-s800-c85.jpg https://www.musikexpress.de/wp-conte...68-620x369.jpg Well, with few exceptions... http://claudepate.com/albums/Graphic...starantula.jpg |

His guitar playing is fine, great. I think he'd be top notch if he had someone with a strong artistic vision to work with who could push him in the right direction and buy him like a.. peavey 5150 and a copy of Van Halen 1.

How many F’ing times can they say Jeff “12 years” Schriardor in 1 F’ing interview
It’s almost as if they think they need to explain/apologize for why we’re getting a jeff who’s jeff? instead of an actual reunion |

What makes you most excited about the new songs?
Billy Corgan: For me, I think it’s the fact that, like Jeff said, we don’t have to intellectualize anything. You have the principal people in the room who made the albums that people are familiar with. And like Jeff said, when everybody does what they do and they do it well, it comes out sounding like Smashing Pumpkins without having to try, where having been in other situations, and obviously Jeff was involved in many of those situations, at times we would sit around and say, “We know what people want.” It’s not really, “Should we try to shave an edge here and there?” And honestly, as a musician, that’s probably the worst thing you can do. Frank Zappa had an album called Shut Up n’ Play Yer Guitar, and I think there’s something to that. There’s a point where you’re better off as a musician just playing whatever you feel. I don’t blame anybody for this, but I think when I was in the band called Smashing Pumpkins, and Jeff and I are the only guys in the band, by calling it Smashing Pumpkins, people are gonna have an expectation, whether you want them to or not, and if you try to combat that expectation, you’re gonna be frustrated. If you try to go along with it, you’re really probably not being in the moment, as far as making the music that’s in your heart. So you get kind of caught in cross-purposes. So it just feels really good now to not have to think about any of that anymore, and we just make our music, and if people like it, great. This is the most important part of the interview. He literally doesn't care what anyone here thinks. |

If SOLARA is him shuttin up, playin his guitar and doing whatever he feels then I think he'd be better off using surveys, spreadsheets and focus groups to write songs

Corgan at least cares about record sales.
That's why he changed his artist name back to "Billy Corgan"... D'arcy: "Billy is a very insecure person. Billy told James and me on may occasions over the years that he is jealous of us and why he was jealous. he is not threatened by James anymore for a lot of reasons, but he called me a year ago depressed and saying that no one cares about the original members of the band and that the fans only want me back. That is not true. I tried to tell him that it wasn't true. I tried for over an hour to talk some sense into him. I failed. That's why i'm not in the band." |

So obviously we Will NOT get any ep soon. Shame on billys announements.
The 8 songs will be in the shape of solara. Almost all written in the monuments era- so you can expect some billy vocals up front with metallic guitars and some metal drumming. I have almost no hope that the eps will be good. |

"So people forget that the band’s roots really are anachronistic and anarchic, not wave the pop flag and get along. That’s why the band’s still here."
Why does he keep saying this dumb shit over and over? Cue up 'Today' for christ's sake. Cue up 'Disarm,' or 'Bullet with Butterfly Wings.' Didn't he also say early on that they wanted to 'sell out' as soon as possible? All this "no one understands what we're doing because the band has always been contrarian to everything" is such bullshit. |

LOL Did Corgan ever hear Zappa's "Shut Up n’ Play Yer Guitar" recordings? It's an album with instrumental outtakes/live improvisations of several years he put together. The title is just ironicly describing it. |

I like the part where he admits Solara was just a piece of junk from Monuments that they got Jimmy to overplay on so it would be interesting

I just wanna know WHY. Monuments / D4N was years ago. Anyone else would've wrote tonnes more songs by now and forgotten all about Solara. He's got some weird fixation with it. His brain is broke. All those Monuments recording updates where he's like "We tried Solara again today, this time in a blah blah style for I believe its blah blah. Howard shakes his head though 'it's still a crap song Billy sorry'. Tomorrow we shall try again with more rocking".
