billy corgan got slammed by vice

[Gone Fission]

Now I'm thinking about Tila Tequila doing an 8 hour rendition of Siddhartha in a tea shop

With Juggalos chucking things at her . . .

[DarkAxel]

i didn't know about some of these, i got a good chuckle out of this article

but as an european who doesn't really know who Tila Tequila is, i don't understand the jokes

[rfurtkamp]

I am laughing hysterically at Mr. Corgan, he who suckled the teat of Joe Shanahan in Chicago for good press and a career, to be all up in arms about people with money and power and corporations now.

We used to point and laugh at the band if they were playing somewhere that a friend's band was opening during the early 90s. It was the era's equivalent of hipster shit. Never gotten the Pumpkins at all.

I remember when Gish first came out, everyday after work I would get stoned and listen to it on my Walkman while I masturbated. Yes, it was that good.

Somehow that really touched me. No kidding. Seems to have been a seriuously emotional album back then for you.

[pigmaker]

Um... Mr. Murdoch we have to talk to you about something

Yes what I'm a busy man

Well it would seem that um.... Billy Corgan.... said some not so nice things about giant multinational corporations on some TV show

Billy Corgan? From the Smashing Pumpkins?

Finish him

corgan was all in favor of corporations when they jumped from caroline to virgin records

- Corgan's a transphobic idiot
- Vice is 5% owned by Fox (Fox paid 70 million for what is estimated to be 5% of the company's shares) so, the insistence that this is some anti-corporation smear against Corgan is, well, some Alex Jones dumbass bullshit.
- Noisey regularly writes articles like this and nobody cares 90% of the time
- Corgan is an idiot and a hack

I mean I challenge anyone to name 10 guitar-music album openers that are better than Cherub Rock.

Can't do it.

I mean I challenge anyone to name 5 guitar-music album openers that are better than Cherub Rock.

Can't do it.

Just try.

I tried, but I don't think any of these are really 'better', just in the same conversation/era/really happening mixtape.
