Angry Chicago 11/18 Video of BC rants - "Last time we checked, we are an alternative band."

My pumpkins Flickr page has photos from last night. I was row FF seat 401 (6th Row Center after the pit) and i was kind of upset with how my camera turned out. My roommate took like 200 pics and I'll update it when hers get up.
Smashing Pumpkins Chicago Shows - a set on Flickr

OK and his rant:

I'm really sorry on how shakey the camera is

BC's rant on Chicago girls, and teasing a girl in the balcony, plus 'meet the band' forgetting Jeff Shroeder.
YouTube - Billy Corgan on Chicago girls, meet the band.
[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/v/_sFOfPOqcz4[/YOUTUBE]
"What is Chicago style? A girl who likes to have fun, number one. A girl with a good rear end, number two. Thats right. Baby's got back. Number 3, standard issue Jennifer aniston hair, standard issue for a chicago girl. See? We bore you and then we make you laugh, thats our gimmick."
>


BC's 13 minute rant (cut down to 9 on my camera):
YouTube - Billy Corgan doen't know what you want.
[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgcieNseX8Y[/YOUTUBE]
includes Sarah Palin comments, etc.
"you know, for twenty years we've tried to make people happy and failed again and again. its confusing but we're good at it. Is it that we don't play music? is that it ? Is it because I don't put a big smile on my face? Is it the funny voice?"

Oh man, the last rant, Billy has gotten really, really whiny lately, when's he going to stop doing this. ALSO if you listen closely it really sounds like the microphone is giving Billy a lisp, it's hilarious.

He's doing the reverse-psychology thing, he's being modest so that a fag like the person who grabbed the microphone can vindicate him by verbally sucking his cock.

I can see Jeff leaving and going onto greater things, though maybe not Ginger since her solo material was awful, she needs the moneys.

He does. You just don't get it.

I guess maybe I'm just saying that because his prior material wasn't embarrassing or anything.

That's some funny, funny stuff imo. Totally contradictory to how it was being reported in writing. I can't wait for the last date of the tour when he will REALLY go off about the whole tour experience.

so first he complains that the "average" fan doesn't understand the band and only wants the radio hits, so they're going to ignore the "average" fan and just do what they want, assuming that the "hardcore" fans will fall in line because they have so far, right?

The last thing I'll say about the Billy weird rant/asking fans to vent at the show is: if this kind of tension with the fans results in him writing the best music he can, then I'm all for it.

I.e., if we got Owata/Rome/Song for Son/March Hare as a direct result of him being pissed off, then so be it.

I don't think its fair to say his rants are about the average fan because there are some average fans that like the new songs, they seem to be more about the fans who are stuck in the past and dont want to hear a the new material, and the fans that yell out "Machina sucks", "Geek USA", or "Bullet" 40,000xs a night

less talking more playing. why does billy have to engage in all this metadiscussion of the band? there's nothing to talk about it. stage banter is awesome when it's about....something besides yourself.

I just got back from tonights 11/19 show, 'white crosses' and HOLY SHIT what a turn around. BC didn't say anything shitty to the crowd and thanked those of us at last nights disaster for coming back. BC came up to a group of us waiting by the stage door after the show and he was like "Now that was a good show".
You could tell the difference.

I'll upload it soon

The guy who Billy gave the microphone to was yelling "DISARRRRRRRRRRM", "SIAMEEEESE DREEEEEEEAAAAAAM -- PLAAAAAAY IT!!!", and his favorite line, "GO BIG OR GO HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" all throughout the concert. Really fucking annoying, esp. cause he has a very loud voice. Then when Billy gave him the microphone, he starts praising Billy. What a tool. But with that at least he got the crowd cheering for Billy again.

Chicago show #2 = 100x better crowd than night 1. Much better vibe.

Massively embarrassing for all involved really. I'd find it hard on any level to defend that rant. If it's a joke it's not funny, if he's for real which I suspect, it's just totally lame.

Bill, you owe me $970.00 that I spent just to sit in the pitt section at the Chicago Theater. Who do you think you are BILL to say to my wife and I and all your fans, that "We are like your ex girlfriend who took all your money??? 18 years we have loved your music, all of it, poetry.

Your childish rant, spitting like a pig multiple times, you should have seen your band members reactions, let alone how many of them seemed like it was the last place they wanted to be.

Your fans all paid a huge price to come to your concert to escape from hard times, economic hardship felt by all.

I thought about this present to my wife tickets in the pitt, how this would be our memory for years to come, my son and his wife also attended that evening who are huge fans as well, his wife, 5 months pregnant with our grandson ...WOW THREE GENERATIONS AT YOUR SHOW BILL.

We tried to get a simple autograph for our grandsons baby book, we talked to Jeff, and Geo, no way... We thought three generations with BC at the concert, what a cool thing.

Hey Bill, thanks for the abuse, the kazoos, the tweetie birds, we got your message Bill, at our expense.

My wife, son and his wife wont be there 20 years from now with our grandson.
