Do you honestly think artists don't have personal favorite songs that they wrote?

You're grasping at straws.

To his credit, Pretty Pretty Star and Strayz are great songs.

the best ones are Mina Loy, DIA, Camera Eye, A100, Now and Then, Walking Shade, and Sorrows

All Things Change, and To Love Somebody are mediocre

Strayz, I'm Ready, and Pretty Pretty Star are terrible

I’m looking at patterns in speech and behavior over a long period of time and how they may or may not have manifested over the course of this Q+A...both in the latent and manifest content of his answers.

So yes, that one comment by itself is no biggie. But looking at the Q+A as a whole in the context of 30 years of Billy’s behavior on the public record, it does seem to fit in well as part of a larger constellation.

I’m sure there’s a chance I’m wrong. I’m just defending my point. The only thing I’ll add is that I do have a background and professional experience in working directly with individuals who have narcissistic pathology and have done a good amount of research on the topic. So I have, to some extent, developed an ability to profile such a personality type by noticing patterns of very subtle verbal and non-verbal clues.

And really...is anyone here going to put forth an argument that Billy is humble and nice and gracious to people?

It’s not an overt attack. It’s just douchey.... like the comment about the production of “Jerry.” Why on earth would you say something like that publicly? Flood is a world renowned producer. Why risk saying something about his
work that could hint at disrespect?

He wonders why Dave Grohl “gets a pass.” It’s cause Dave Grohl doesn’t ever say anything but nice things about anyone. Cause he’s not a jerk.
I am willing to bet that you are the type of guy that gets upset when people say Merry Christmas.

Billy corgan is a narcissist. pretty sure we've done that thread to death. it's just a fact. we've even had a few professional boarders as psychologists diagnose him too.

Amusing Q+A. Not as funny as johncg's bizarre rants in this thread.

JAMES' HAIR!! WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF JAMES'S HAIR?

I’m pretty sure he’s not a nice or humble person based on that fact alone.
yes billy is a narcissist and could have said some nicer things but you are really reading into what was probably half-hearted after concert exhaustion answers

you seem to be working on your childhood stuff right now or working with people who are or researching it etc and it's easy to see it everywhere

I agree johncg w almost everything you say. i see the pattern too. as for the james hair comment, i don't see it. it's a lame response and not funny or clever, but whatever. not sure why anyone would argue against what you're saying. BC is a cerebral narcissist. can't read his pretentious ig posts anymore.

and slayed23 especially seems incapable of objectivity when discussing anything BC does. has this person ever critiqued BC or is BC some sort of infallible human to them?

Sometimes when I read these I think he's more of a dick than he needs to be to people and then sometimes people ask "Do you like David Bowie?" and understand completely.

Saying Billy Corgan is a narcissist is a subjective statement. Not an objective one. Unless you are a doctor that has medically examined him in person, you are basically making a subjective statement.

It's cool if you feel that way. I have just as much right to think the opposite. I am not claiming my statement is objective however.

at this point, it's objective. that's like arguing i can't call trump a narcissist because i'm not a doctor. we're beyond that.

my statement about you did not involve narcissism, you put that in. and if you think the opposite, and only support it because you have the right to think it, then you're worse off than i thought.

i questioned if you ever saw something BC did as a mistake, wrong, cruel, fallible, etc, because all I've ever seen from your account is blind faith and support.

You have to follow him on Instagram and watch his account. People now have the option to post an “ask me anything” dialogue box on their 24-hour stories.

I follow him on Instagram but haven't seen the dialogue box (on his stories).

Just the other day, I said he made a mistake by not promoting the 30th anniversary show hard enough.

What you are saying is not objective, but you think it is... so I will not argue with you about it anymore. I guess I don't understand though why you feel the need to follow his instagram account so closely if what he says upsets you so much.

what i'm saying is objective. there are facts to support b'arcy having NPD. these facts are not influenced by personal feelings. that's the definition of objectivity, so you are wrong. you can let it go all you want, but because i'm not being objective is not the reason.

as for his ig account, i don't follow it. the shit is posted here. and like i said, I DON'T READ IT.

what is wrong with you? seriously?
