that mag featured SP from the very beginning, so it's not surprising. the last time they covered anything Corgan/SP was in 2007.

I don't get it. Are you pretending to be offended on behalf of men or women?

neither, I'm not offended since I don't plan to fuck elphenor.
I didn't understand what he wrote and asked, what's not to get about that.
and what you just quoted was actually a serious reply to what he seemed to ask, there is nothing "offended" or pretending to be offended in that quote.

I have the mag, didn't plan to scan it, though - the entire article and interview is in German, who here would want to read that?

here is the equivalent to 128kbps mp3 download

that's my favorite part of the whole thing, half a page about his contempt for the audience.
interviewer asked him if he did the song Run2Me to test his own musical limits, or to test the limits of his listeners. Funny enough Corgan said he doesn't care or think about the listeners any longer.
And tops that by explaining how he started to feel contempt for the audience, because they lowered their quality standards, which leads to the media lowering their standards and blablabla, "only shit gets praise" and bla - contempt.

hilarious, he can't do a single interview without saying the opposite of what he said before.

it's because what he's saying is really complex so he's trying different approaches to describing it. It's our fault for being too dumb. - Billy Corgan.

only the big one, the recent photo shoot done in Eurolandia isn't published yet, and I think they were taking promo pics. like this gem. no idea what the label thinks this picture is promoting. hoodies?

the other pictures this mag used for the collages have all been seen before. and he is out of both the age and the popularity to do something like this spin photo set. and alone? I mean who gives a shit about pics with Jeff Schroeder, not exactly a "rocking" band in images.

the close up of that hoodie makes it look like he's just wrapping a towel around his head.

photoshoots like this are always good for the image. but billy's too frugal to pay for enough of it. & I guess magazine don't think he's cool enough to pay for them either.

The hoodie picture just kills me.

Jeff is the nerdiest SP member of all time. His one liner on Stern just sealed it. Nobody wants to see any of them on a cover.

He keeps talking about the millennials, but he's not on instagram or vine. kids need visual content. MTV doesn't deliver it anymore.

even if they're dorks, content breeds an audience. ffs #healthgoth is a thing thanks to social media. geeking on tea and wrestling could have been fine - bring the content, it'll breed an audience. stop relying on the audience to create the vibe.

JC does look a little weird sometimes but he gets the ladies anyway

She is however the coolest bassist The Pumpkins ever had

If that's not traditionally attractive I don't know what is. 1991-10-22

Do you think millennials really want to follow Billy and Jeff on instagram or vine? It would be like following their dad.

I agree with elph about Darcy. She's a bit odd looking. Sometimes that translated as attractive, sometimes not.

And all women have asses, even a good one isn't the same as being attractive. But i guess that's all it takes for some...

I mean in the end who gives a shit. But if asked what i think of Darcy looks i say...eh. So-so. But then again i never went for blondes.

I also think James is a bit weird looking. They were good at fashion though.......well......as good as one could be in the goddawful 90's

There's nothing fucking odd looking about her. She's a perfectly normal, attractive girl.

I like the bald look too, but it did make him look less cherubic. Not a bad thing really, just different.

You might find there are no definitive opinions on looks. It's all subjective. I doubt that my opinion is that unpopular though. Well, outside of the SP fan community anyway.

In the end as i said though, who gives a shit.

he gets hurt at everything. he's got serious fucking issues and needs to see a good therapist badly.


But if that was gonna be an issue to him, he could have just made sure to surround himself with ugly people.

Real talk: I find few people as attractive as James and D'Arcy in their respective primes.

I honestly can't tell but it has nothing to do with being "too straight". I just don't know what's considered attractive

I didn't get the impression that there is some sort of popular agreement regarding how attractive Corgan is.
Back in 2007 or so, I said something before a gig that he keeps getting more attractive (yes, and I meant it back then), and got nothing but utterly surprised "you can't be serious, THAT guy?" in respone. From hetero females. so.... until that day I thought it's a no brainer, like duhuh, of course that man is attractive.

There's usually a general consensus on whether or not someone is attractive. Like generally people say Thom Yorke is goofy looking
