Billy Corgan: Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong Is Up There With Greats Like Kurt Coba
https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news...rt_cobain.html
Cool to see Billy giving Billie Joe some props. Whether you like some of Green Days newer music or not, you've gotta give the man credit for writing a shit ton of catchy songs. |

Corgan also mentioned his love for the Ramones!
"Punk had very little influence directly. Indirectly, through our peers, more so. But that said I adored the Ramones from age 10 on, and never lost my love for them." That's super awesome |

Billy just loves everyone now that he has decided to go full nostalgia act.

the thing i like about green day is that you can tell that they are all best friends. i don't think there's ever been any drama between them and there especially hasn't been any falling outs. they still play songs from their late 80s/pre-dookie albums and have no problems doing so. nobody is up their own asses about playing old music. billie-joe, in that sense, is the complete opposite of billy.

Green Day 1996 Guitar World Interview:
ARMSTRONG: "I've talked a lot of shit about Smashing Pumpkins, but I think the guitar sound on "1979" is really good, and so is the song itself." DIRNT: "I think us talking shit about Smashing Pumpkins is more just making fun of how pathetic those guys are. Especially Billy Corgan. I think it would have been better if he hadn't made such a big issue of his guitar playing right when they put out their first album, like "I played most of the guitar on this album. Any hot licks you hear, that's me, not James [Iha]."" Lol |

I don't think Bill started claiming to have recorded all the guitars and shit until after SD was out though, right?
and the first person to ever say anything about it was James Iha, not Bilco |

Sounds about right. They pretended like Gish was a full band effort up until that point.

Gish probably does feature more playing by James and D'arcy than SD.
I guess James was not feeling good about SD hardly featuring his playing and decided to speak up. I remember many years later, Billy saying he would have been happy to let the perception stand because he always thought bands seemed cooler than solo artists or whatever, and he didn't understand why James betrayed the illusion. |

Are we even sure D'arcy did anything at all on SD? At least on Gish there's one solid piece of evidence proving so

The only song we know she played on for sure on SD is "Luna" because she threatened to quit the band if he didn't let her play on something.

There's also circumstantial evidence... he's singing on Bury Me, and also played on Why Am i So Tired, which was apparently tracked live. So he was there, at least for initial tracking. Whether he stuck around for months of overdubs is another story. |

Butch Vig Interview Excerpt:
"Smashing Pumpkins were a great band. If you ever saw them live, they’re all badass players, but Billy Corgan is a better guitar player than James, and he's a better bass player than D'arcy. "We would track a song, and we would record it trying to make sure we had a really good feel for it, but primarily I was listening to make sure we got a killer drum take by Jimmy Chamberlin. "Then we would usually go back and overdub everything, and Billy was just better at redoing the guitars and bass. On both [1991's] 'Gish' and [1993's] 'Siamese Dream,' D'arcy and James played a little bit, but it's over 90% Billy, because he's a phenomenal musician. "There was conflict - I think the band felt like, 'We are good enough to do it.' Like I said, D'arcy and James are amazing musicians. There were times when I would sit in the studio and give them the time to do that, and I would say at the end of the day, you can track a part, but I think Billy's going to want to come in, and I want to see if he can beat it. So at least they had an opportunity to do that. "There were some times I chose D'arcy's part, or James, over Billy's. To say there was conflict in that band, that's not the only reason there was conflict. There were a lot of things pulling at Smashing Pumpkins. Somehow I made it through two album cycles with them. They were always on the verge of imploding." |

Billy said "the music came first". But I bet if one of his parts was replaced by Iha or D'arcy he'd get sniffy about it.
I always took Gish to be more of a band album. And SD to be the obsessive-compulsive Billy album. |

i guess you could call Butch Vig the original BC "yes man" ?
Of course, those were the days where it probably helped more than hurt, but even so, the first domino had fallen! |

I've used the ban to seek out other communities and I've been very well received. I've also been familiarizing myself with Reddit and I've been a HUGE hit over there. It's staggering really, I can't even believe it. I'll post some thought or observation and I'll literally get hundreds of "upvotes". My "karma rating" over there is literally though the roof, and I've only been conversing over there for a short time. It feels good. I've got some Netphoria friends who I've met up with over there too. So all is good brother-took. All is good indeed. |

You should hit up Reddit Took. It's a vast community with well trafficked communities for just about anything. There's groups for fantasy novels and stuff, you'd love it.
