Thread: Smashing Pumpkins | Oceania | Billy Corgan

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0SXmLHxG8E&feature=player_detailpage]Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins on Alex Jones Show (6-26-12) - YouTube[/ame]

I've been a Pumpkin's fan since a teenager. Got to meet Billy when I was 15. I was brave enough to go ask him for a ticket for a 200 person show at a small venue. The tickets had sold out before I could save the 10 bucks (double the going rate for shows at this venue, and I already loved SP). He told me I could have 4 tickets if I bought a T-shirt for 10 bucks from the band that was opening.

He seemed pretty smart and pretty nice at the time. Since then he has proven himself pretty fucking crazy. Still smart, but crazy. Makes sense that he would go on Alex Jones right after CNN. And btw, as crazy as Billy may be, he sounds sane compared to Alex Jones :)

Thanks for posting it though, I would not have looked this up on my own.

The problem with Alex Jones is he is a sensationalist so that he can sell his website and dvds etc...

You lose credibility when you have an amazing topic and book to sell with it...

Then these two superdudes go hand in hand if you heard Billy comparing his new record to the world today and how relevant he is(n't). I was gonna say Billy is the same guy he has always been, self centered and clueless, but he did the honor. I like his music (even the goth record) and he is a great producer but that is where it ends for me.

Rarely do politics and music go well together. Usually the musicians just end up looking as lame as the politicians.
