The fact is, if Corgan still had any balls then he would have released Gossamer

as a radio single.


That song was best thing the band made since coming back. If they took that into studio and made it a reasonable 23-28 minutes long and released it as a radio single then it would have been huge. Smashing Pumpkins would have once again been a big band. It would be such a bold move to release a 23-28 minute long song as a single on the radio. You would play the risk that no station would play it, but if they did then it would be have been big.


Instead the band was degraded into what it currently is.

Hang on a minute.

[Shallowed]

Also they released a ~7 minute song as a single that was bollocks.

"Oh man like we didn't even mean for it to be that long we just kept jamming and jamming and it just came out like that so we went with it"

I dunno I hear Free Bird alot on the radio and that shit feels like it takes half a damn hour

[TuralyonW3]

stop

[iPumpkin]

name 1 website with lower quality posts than this one.

[Karl Connor]

every show I go to gossamer is when everybody leaves

[ilikeplanets]

It has nothing to do with balls, it has to do with practicality. Who the fuck wants to listen to a 25 minute song in their car on mainstream radio?

[slunken]

who listens to mainstream radio?

You guys are thinking too inside the box. Once people hear that there is this 23-28 minute long radio single then they are going to want to hear it.

[duovamp]

I do not think this is a good idea.

[Eulogy]

goddamn it you are so fucking retarded

[hnibos]

a reasonable 23-28 minutes

[Catherine Wheel]

The sad thing is that he's not even trolling.

[BlissedandGone2]

everyday i read something here that explains perfectly why billy corgan hates this place

Muse releasing a ~10 minute long single does not make me want to hear it just because it is 10 minutes long.

I have a BETTER idea...

Teargarden By Kaleidyscope Vol. 4: Gossamer

1) Gossamer (awesome subtitle #1)
2) Gossamer (awesomer subtitle #2)
3) Gossamer (awesomer subtitle #3)
4) Gossamer (awesomest subtitle #4)

and for a B-side toss in 'Owata' but the best goddamn studio owata possible with very lavish production, a lot of instruments, lots of overdubs, and good lyrics... or whatever the fuck song you want just to balance out the awesomer gossamer

I think that'd be fucking bad-ass... and all 4 "tracks" would really be one reasonable 30-minute long Gossamer and all the tracks just fade into each other without even noticing...

Wouldn't work because Billy wants to be releasing songs as he records them to give the impression that we're hearing the album progress as it's being made. Gossamer is one long jam, not a definitively sectioned suite.

what the hell is the radio? what is this guy even talking about

[FoolofaTook]

ur mom is a long jam

It would be 23-28 minutes long, not 10 minutes long. That's a huge difference. Also Gossamer is an amazing song so it would have that going for it when the hype builds around it among the general public due to it being so long.

It's all about Corgan just needing to do something really bold and new to get the name of the band out there again with a truly good song.


It would most likely work, and if it didn't then would would he have lost by trying Gossamer as a radio single? There's really no reason at all for him not to do it at this point.





If anyone in the band or with another direct connection to Corgan is reading this, then pass this idea along to him.

I hope to god you're not a business major because you have no idea what you're talking about
