Yes. Those were stupid questions. No one cares about the fluff questions he was asking and it was just making Billy less patient for the people that wanted to know the real scoop.

But when people are like:
" oh my God your show was great, you're awesome" " where did you brought your hat, or night dress" or "what do you think about the curent state of music?" "what your next setlist.." "will you play Cherub rock, soma, zero again?" etc.. It's more interresting that if he likes this or that band? I agree that his questions are useless, but I don't think it worth to call him "Stupid" by Corgan...that's all I'm saying Maybe I watch too must the Carebears |

Right on man. No worries, it's all part of the rock.
Does any no why the one security guard helped those two girls out of the front but refused to help that one dude who was wiped out. Told him he had to exit through the crowd. Then the security guard got in someone's face for saying something about it. |

I agree it's stupid, i 've said it. (even is I think judging if one question is stupid or not is completely subjective).
no I wasn't there, you're right, of course I'm just refering to what fans here say, I don't blame fans. I would understand that reaction from fans that have also been waiting in the cold like this "dude" and could not ask a questions because of him...but I don't like Billy reaction, even if this guy asked stupid questions and make him waste his time, this "stupid guy" has paid for his show, so saying, not even directly he is a "stupid guy" , I think it's mean... If it was a fan that said that, I would not matter, but from Billy or the band..it's being asshole I just hate "rock star" thinking that there are more clever than their fans, and that dare to say such things..even if it's true, they had to stay polite...the guy apparently did not miss respect to Billy.. Even if I believe you when you say he was really stupid, and waste people time...etc he was unrespectfull toward fans that were there, yes,because apparently it make other fans not to talk with Billy etc, but toward Billy no, i think...it was just a subjective jugement (I mean from what I've read here..) that he should had kept for himself...

when i used to gig more often and had a small fanbase in and around town with my band, i used to chat with people after the shows very regularly. some of them were 'fans' some were just random folks interested in music or gear or whatever. we were never anywhere close to well known or famous in any right. if one of those people came up to me and asked me my thoughts on 5 bands that i didnt like nor cared about, id be pissed off and ask them why it has anything to do with anything. this is billy corgan and the smashing pumpkins playing the aragon ballroom.
they abosolutely crushed this audience. every person was singing along to everything. it was the most energized concert i've ever been to. when you take some time to meet and talk with fans after rocking out for 3 hours, its pretty irritating to get asked a bunch of irrelevant questions that put you right back in the place youve been complaining about all tour. i understand what youre saying TL, but really, if you were there, youd understand why billy was pissed and why the rest of the fans waiting were too. |

Show sounded great. SP should always play GA shows. I mean, Billy was bitching about the energy at other shows on this tour but what do you expect from a seated venue? |

you mean this guy?
http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-...82791_7358.jpg I feel like writing them a fucking letter or something. Those two girls who got out were perfectly fine, the one only left because her friend left before her. That kid was pushed up front because he was gonna pass out and the security guard wouldn't help and got in my face saying that he "cant help everyone." You're a security guard. Thats your fucking job. |

Pizza Club- Great vid...although I think my hair was off that night, it usually does better in vids, poor acting I guess. Haha, sorry if I was a little rowdy with all my hand/horn throwing. Hope i didn't ruin much for ya.
Blissed, Cara, JR, PC, all others I was hanging with...you guys made it great. Lotta fun. I love being able to talk about this band with people that care just as much. You guys were all energetic and I loved it. The show was amazing through and through. SO much energy from the band and crowd and I think Billy really ate it up. I thought his voice was spot on and the band was the tightest I've ever seen them. Gossamer->US was sooo fucking good. It was like seven straight songs were I was just in pure awe. And Soma...it was my first time hearing it live. Once Jeff started playing the beginning, I found myself in chills. I subconsciously was saying holy fuck, over and over again. It was one of the greatest moments. I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with fandom. Once again...waiting afterwards had it's funny moments with the kid getting hit by the fence and the guitar pick guy yelling at random people...but then it just got old. He asked stupid questions and really did ruin it for others. I don't blame Billy for getting pissed. |

My vid of Medellia, with more of the pre-song stage banter. Including JRiordin's "Fall out boy" comment and my "fuck pitchfork" comment. Pizza Club's is better quality tho. |
