attacking billy corgan for letting people ask him question is just ža cherry on the top of the pile of shit that is rolling stone

The Smashing Pumpkins let fans use YouTube as a platform to ask Billy Corgan a question. Our pick: What’s the difference between this and Zwan?

So precious - trying to do that mass snarky Daily Show humor that's so hip. They're doing anything to seem relevant.

zwan was filled with immoral bandmates, SP2 is not DUH

"I wana know what the fans are thinking, becaue I haven't understood what they've been thinking for about a decade." (slightly inaccurate paraphrasing possibly but you get the drift)

Made me bust a lol. His timing is pretty accurate on this one.

At first, I read that as "immortal" and I was like WTF? Speaking of which, with Billy on a Brian May kick and Roy Thomas Baker producing Zeitgeist, they squandered an amazing opportunity to cover "Princes of the Universe".

fools russian · 07-07-2007, 03:08 AM

zwan was corgan and chamberlin with 3 other very accomplished musicians playing music much different (purposely different) than the smashing pumpkins.

now it's corgan and chamberlin playing the music they originally and always wanted to play. unfortunately they don't have the entire original lineup so they've added new members.

:dunno:

Ha! Ha! I would love to hear that!

But, you know I reckon Queen would have been able to pull off a great SP cover.

Rolling Stone gives rap records 4 and 5 star ratings. This alone makes Rolling Stone irrelevant

Even in their hey day, Rolling Stone spent so much time with their lips wrapped around Bruce Springsteen's cock that they couldn't form complete sentences in order to generate a critique of anything worth a damn. If Dave Marsh is dead, say a prayer or sacrifice something toward keeping the motherfucker dead.

Remember to leave a tip when your at some greasy spoon - the dumbshit bussing your table is likely working at Pitchfork. Fuckers who love half-assed bands gotta make a living, too.

reprise85 · 07-07-2007, 03:56 AM

You have some anger issues, guy.
Great first post, you'll fit in well at netphoria!

And with the topic, RS could have done a lot worse if they really want to take a shot at Billy. Can't anyone take a joke?

no girl...go listen to rihanna if you are on RS side

ibelievenothing · 07-07-2007, 07:58 AM

The difference is that Zwan and Smashing Pumpkins embrace two completel different songwriting styles.

There is a smashing pumpkins way of writing songs and there is a Zwan way of writing songs.

They are both completely different. Only the fans would really understand this.

This statement alone makes you irrelevant.

I am going to have to agree with jblair. If I am to believe that a five star rating in nifty red stars represents the extreme upper end of musical talent, then why are they going to guys who can't play an instrument, can't sing, and have no merit as songwriters or even rhymers above the level of a clever 14 year old?

Hey James, for the record I was talking to this guy:

I'm not saying I agree with RS; it's just not worth getting upset over.
If Billy wasn't such a hardass about talking about the new members and such, RS wouldn't have brought it up. I agree it's a low blow but it's not some kind of 'outrageous' comment.

nanowerx · 07-07-2007, 09:36 AM

If Rolling Stone is irrelevant, can we please stop making "its end of the world, RS doesnt like Billy!!!" scenario threads?

caliphornia · 07-07-2007, 09:55 AM

it's a fair question

because hip hop is still somewhat innovative in the production sense while rock is fairly stagnant?

you could be the best lyricist on the face of the earth but the music is 80% of the staying power

hip hop is what?
pimps, bitches and large asses that is inovative?

JessiMercury · 07-07-2007, 11:50 AM

rolling stone still comes out with like three covers a year on nirvana, as if kurt kobain (or il duce, lol) had never blown his brains out. gee, nirvana must be innovating rock from beyond the grave!

RS was barely ever a respectable publication, and those days are long, long gone. they are just legends in their own mind. "what's the difference between zeitgeist and zwan?" umm. try actually LISTENING to the music you're talking shit on, and quit writing 30 page puff pieces about how Bono is actually our god and we just don't know it.

and spin is too busy talking about "avril lavigne's edgy, grown-up sound" and thom yorke's wonky eye to give a fuck about anything.
