And what interesting questions could they ask about his music over the last 20 years? Nobody knows it. Nobody bought it. I liked Ogilala, I like some of his stuff, but the Pumpkins have been irrelevant for decades, and this poorly-handled reunion and Corgan’s treatment of D’arcy (& Nicole, Sweeney etc.) are more evidence of Corgan’s megalomania and general cuntery. Sorry if the truth doesn’t translate well to ticket sales. Perhaps you’re the one who needs a safe space. Edit: I actually quite enjoy Billy being the heel sometimes, the drama and his ridiculous antics. I can separate it from the music and I’m sure others do too. But he only has himself to blame for the current trajectory of his career. Last edited by VoxUpDoc : 03-23-2018 at 06:06 AM. |

“It’s a bit akin to trying to rekindle a romance almost two decades later,” Mr. Corgan said, away from his bandmates. “The love is there, but, you know, is the language? Is the magic there?”
No romance to rekindle with D'arcy... https://78.media.tumblr.com/84cb27a5...r407ui_500.gifhttps://nypdecider.files.wordpress.c...-the-moon1.gif Last edited by Corgan's Bluff : 03-23-2018 at 08:51 AM. |

Nothing she’s quoted as saying there proves that accusation.
What Billy said proves that he doesn’t believe she’s healthy enough to do it full time and never did. That’s the problem. Did Billy want her back in the band on a personal level? Clearly not. Was he willing to meet her halfway for the fans/money? Yes. Was she? No. She had an opportunity to prove the naysayers wrong. She didn’t accept it and has since tried to sabotage the tour for everyone else. Quote:

amoergosum thinks stating facts that billy is buds with alex jones who thinks sandy hook was staged is a liberal bias. it's a fact. the article is not an album review. it's a feature on the people in the band.

yeah wtf amoergozer, it's not like they're stating really controversial or untrue facts about billy, it's basic stuff that everyone on Phoria at least already knew and the bigger crowd might not have known

The fact the guy goes on alex jones needs to be brought up by an interviewer, and if you wouldn't do that you would be just a kiss ass PR hack, not a journalist. And for Corgan to use words like "globalists" (which he did on Stern and both Howard and Robin politely let it slide) and "protected minority groups" in the interview is more proof of how bigoted he is, and more props due to the interviewer for getting billy to show that side of himself. Also, just a side note, this line of Bill's that "I find institutions and systems suspicious" is so sad. Like, go live in the forest then. |

Look, did Corgan write 50~ or so mind blowing songs in the 90s? Yes. Is he also batshit crazy? Yes.
Taking those two things in to consideration gives you a good idea of how this guy works. |

Billy didn't tell D'arcy his real intentions until she was confronted by an Instagram picture, showing the other three in the studio and she contacted him upon what was going on. He hadn't been willing to personal meet her before -though he publicly talked of a reunited family. Not even on a working level for her reentry in the music business. Realising already ambitious tour plans without any involvement of D'arcy before was a manipulating act from Billy Corgan, not to involve her seriously, by putting her under pressure. This kind of behavior would upset everybody. D'arcy had the right to say what was going on and that she was not willing to be reduced to a reunion decoration. Billy should have foreseen this reaction from her, knowing her long enough. But he obviously didn't expect her to even go public. His failure, by his lack of empathy. |

I would not say there was an "anti-Billy" bias tucked away in the article. The author brought up some legitimate points:
-Billy not only listens to and watched Alex Jones, but has appeared on his show numerous times. This does truly clash with Billy's music and public persona during the 1990s and first decade of the 2000s that we should all love each other and let each other do what we want so long as it doesn't hurt anyone. Hell, I remember he wrote a fairly impassioned defense of gay marriage in 2012. The fact is, Jones is an extremist that even tried, true, and educated Republicans consider, at best, a nuisance or, at worst, a threat. Whether or not Billy truly understands what Jones stands for, he needs to be ready to be scrutinized after appearing on the dude's show three or four times. -The ticket thing really is just numbers. Certain shows sold very well, and I'm sure Corgan made his money. If the first few shows earn great reviews, I'm sure ticket sales will pick up exponentially closer to individual shows. That does not change the fact that the band really bit off more than they could chew booking a full arena tour and ticket sales in certain locations have been slow. Corgan admits as much in the interview. |

Also the writer threw out a bunch of random terms Billy said like 'protected minority groups' without any context. That's shitty writing. I'd have printed the full quotes if there was a discussion about politics rather than picking out words and listing them next to each other in an attempt to deride him. Again like I said earlier, Billy likely saw a mile away where this article was going and that led to him literally saying nothing about D'arcy, the thing we're all actually very interesting in hearing about. |

You are dead wrong about the term "globalist".
Also LOL, so by the same logic straight men can't be violent misogynists. Right. |

Billy already didn't want to talk about D'arcy at the interview of his friend Mancow Muller.
His policy seems to be to behave like the innocent victim, who doesn't have to discuss her accusations. James and Jimmy should have been more involved into the interview by specific questions. |

Actually, he's right. You can speculate all you want that a person is bigoted by using the term globalist. It doesn't mean that a person is actually a bigot, and it also doesn't mean you get to change the textbook definition of the english language.

You can think Billy's an asshole from reading his interviews/social media postings over the years or think his political views are stupid, but there is zero evidence to back up that he is a racist or bigot. Again, some of you are letting your hatred of him and his political views blind you, and this is coming from someone who published an interview with D'arcy where she was very critical of him, not some Billy sycophant.

Wow. Just wow. Does he ever stop and just listen to the things he's saying? This is the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard uttered.
