Pitchfork: 5 Times Billy Corgan Said Reunions Were Bullshit
https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/5-tim...were-bullshit/
"At this point, there generally isn't much shame in shutting up and playing the hits—it makes everyone, from the fans to the booking agents, overjoyed, and pretty much every band is doing it. But in the case of the Smashing Pumpkins, it’s hard not to remember all the times over the course of the past decade that Corgan has explicitly shit on other bands doing exactly what he is now doing." |

I wonder if since he made these statements when there was still bad blood between all of his ex band mates, this is his idea of saving face.
Like, they don't wanna be in the band with me? Fine! It's a stupid idea anyway! *takes ball and goes home* |

And now's where he goes
"But it's not a reunion tour technically" (except with more passive-aggressive anger) |

"I meant reunions that actually reunite all their members are shameless. Leaving one out makes it art."

after 30 years it's probably time to move on. i kinda wish there could be a final and awesome album if this is the case, but i guess i'll see what happens.

Hypocritical probably but whatever I’m just ready to rock. He’ll spin it as different than just a reunion.

To be fair, the MCIS remaster is outstanding. The Gish/SD/Adore ones are whatever, but MCIS was an improvement. The Machina original mix is a similar mess in some ways.

I don't care much about the existing mixes anyway. I believe it could be improved upon a big deal but I don't believe that's gonna happen |

"Smashing Pumpkins announce first tour since 2000"
https://www.theguardian.com/music/20...our-since-2000 lol wtf Forbes brings the real talk though: "without Wretzky onboard, this is just Corgan’s latest incarnation of the Pumpkins, assembled to propel him from theaters back to the arenas he so desperately wants to fill" "despite all his rage, Corgan’s still just a sellout onstage. https://www.forbes.com/sites/bryanro.../#55861705a967 Last edited by Funbags : 02-16-2018 at 07:33 PM. |
