Billy's Q&A on Instagram - Page 27

Everyone needs to MOVE ON!

(After buying the next 10 years of reissues and dug-up rarities.)

Wow, this is the first I’ve heard of As Rome Burns. Listened to it; there are some killer riffs and solo solo work there. Not sure about the vocals but that could be cleaned up in the studio.

But naaaah... just because fans like it is no reason to EVER play a song again or record it. Especially when we’re being spoiled with world class material like SOLARA. Why would we want to hear something interesting and complicated when we could just hear the same four power chords over and over?

well to his credit, the drums on the Adore era LMGTWTY were pretty awful with awkward fills. grounds enough for not putting it on the album originally.

Does Billy believe birdwatchers live in actual birds' nests? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS.

Shadaloo · 08-27-2018, 11:01 AM

He's reeeeeeeeeeeeealllly self-conscious about his vocals going to shit. That Seattle broadcast was hard to watch at points.

His voice has changed, due to a conscious decision or age, and instead of acknowledging it, he aggressively shits on anyone bringing it up. Like a fucking child.

Billy Corgan has no respect for anyone but himself.

D'arcy was well out of it.

...but he's been to spfc. He was cribbing lyrics from there during his Zuzu's performances.

Are people having issues searching hashtags on instagram? Sometimes it works and sometimes I get an error saying the page isn't available.

SPLATTER · 08-27-2018, 03:20 PM

he clearly gets a dopamine rush from threatening others. any threat will do. even a threat to block someone on meaningless instagram gets him off.

themadcaplaughs · 08-27-2018, 03:22 PM

Interesting that among his childish and petty insults are some actual admissions that he goofed up certain things (particularly after bringing the band back in 2007).

Seriously. Some of these questions are so innocuous, and his reactions are so childish and stupid. Like threatening to block (or perhaps actually blocking) that person who made a joke about Homerpalooza. That person is obviously a fan just having a little fun. But Billy would be content to potentially lose that fan just so he can be a dick. And he wonders why people don't appreciate him like they used to.

houseofglass11 · 08-27-2018, 04:02 PM

One of the best Adore era songs. Definitely should have been on the album.

Elphenor · 08-27-2018, 04:14 PM

Yeah, nothin' cooler than a dude who can't take a fuckin joke about being on the Simpsons once

smashingjj · 05:37 PM

I'd love to see him on Celebrities Read Mean Tweets get actually pissed off

Reyngel · 08-27-2018, 06:03 PM

Of course he thinks GLOW is a cool song. He grabbed an old riff from the MCIS sessions because he couldn't write any new cool riffs, and repackaged it with terrible lyrics and vocals.

And as someone already said, FOL was a demo that was never meant to be released... that he also sold to be used in a Superbowl commercial?

Yikes, Bill.
