I saw SP at the Whiskey back when Gish was first released. Someone in the crowd screamed out for Freebird and Corgan responded, “Suck my dick if you want Freebird.”
I was going to make an Uncle Fester joke, but then I remembered the average age of this site’s readers.
And it turns out his personality is even more annoying.
You’ll have to forgive Cat Food Breath’s anger. His uncle was killed by a runaway opinion, and he’s never been the same since.
I used to love SP back in the day, but I’m not sure I want to see a guy who now looks like Varys screeching about teenage angst.
William Corgan hasn’t had positive press for 25 years. You expect that to change just because he’s on tour?
At the Paradise you easily jump on stage and pee on Corgan’s shoes.
Come for the songs you remember from high school. Stay for the lecture on New World Order mind control techniques and Alex Jones pamphlets.
“but she hit most of the notes.”
Can’t imagine why this came to mind.
Chris, if you have access to Hulu, then you can find Maya Rudolph on SNL doing a tribute to this performance, via time travel.
Will Ferrell doing an imitation of Fergie singing the national anthem would have been better than Fergie singing the national anthem.
I bet a lot of it comes down to his own insecurities. He must know that he was the least cool member of his own band; so he took it out on the girl. And nobody in the 90s and 00s music journalism scene stood up for her. Cool. Thanks.
Thanks, that was a good read. Christ what a tangle of crossed communications and I have no doubt Corgan is responsible for that. D’arcy sounds sane, and I easily believe her that Billy plays mind games, constantly and always, that he’s a raging egotist, and that he gaslights people. (“What? I never said that.”). He…
This should have been the fucking end of it.
Said everyone who ever tried to gaslight a woman. ever.
(if your comment was meant ironically then kudos)
As if Corgan is the paragon of level-headedness?
Since apparently no-one else is brave enough to tell the truth, I suppose I have to: Melon Collie is a terrible pun, Billy.
So Corgan is trying to gaslight her. No surprise.
