With Corgan’s ego, I doubt there will be any room for songs on the new Pumpkins album.

i think it’s just.. drugs.

it all depends on if he gets Iha or not

Why must we put down a man who is putting love and poetry into his music? If you want to listen to more music about hate, rape and killing go ahead but don’t make fun of Billy Corgan for doing something different.

Absolutely fantastic. Let the dude express himself. We need more art in modern music.

He is a true entertainer. Would it be any fun if he just came out and said we have an album coming out this year?

WOMEN START ALL WARS!?! most women do not allow men to be sensitive and fully express themselves emotionally (a control issue more than anything else) therefore perhaps many women advertently contribute to the creation of warfare; because if more women allowed more men to be sensitive, not only would men stop and talk more than the 7,000 words per minute that women presently allow them to speak; but they would also probably stop going to war as much – and aside from the obvious effect of testosterone upon young male behavior, all people start out as sensitive beings, but society tends to desensitize our men to make them into more efficient killing machines for the military-industrial complex at large, and this leads some to feel an unnecessary ‘gender confusion’ based upon their own perceived compassion (or lack thereof) leading to sex-changes etc – if society starts looking at all spirits as capable of staying the gentle, loving beings they started out as (not an easy task) maybe we can end this strange phenomenon known as the sex change operation, and many other pervasive societal problems as well – lik roper (LRE NOTE: due to the profound wisdom which i displayed in the last segment, it occurred to me that perhaps i should start a new age sex cult or something)

i didn’t mean to shut you down so forcefully and so completely, liz…sorry about that…

i think billy corgan’s drunk.

since corgan knows so many big words now, maybe he can look up the word ‘pretentious’. it’ll be in the dictionary between ‘pincushion’ and ‘prick’. very easy to find.

For any of you who know about the Pumpkins, Corgan played everything except drums on all of the albums besides “Mellon Collie…”. He also writes all of the material from top to bottom. So, if he comes off as a bit pretentious or arrogant, then in all honesty I believe he’s earned it! The man created a sub-niche for people who fell between the cracks of “grunge” and the horrible pop rock of bands like Third Eye Blind, Matchbox 20, etc. Don’t be so quick to judge unless you have a resume that can compete with his.

I remember when BC was just this nice guy in a band who worked at a used record store on Broadway (in Chicago).

God, you guys are even more messed up than Billy must be. I love the Pumpkins of yore but Billy’s a self-important douche. Love and poetry? Please. Its only rock’n'roll kiddies, no matter how many archaic prayers Corgan throws out to “Mother”.

BTW, this is the type of schmaltzy crap that has made Corgan unlistenable for a decade. Maybe if y’all bought more of his records, he could afford a wig.

billy’s probably a momma’s boy, and there’s nothing wrong with that, my mother’s dead!…OK people; call your mother NOW and tell her that you love her! – thank her for giving you your life…

A low talent hasbeen … anyone who spends money on this guy deserves the mediocre crap they get… move on people…. put him in the center of Hollywood Squares and go listen to some real rock & roll….

The Smashing Pumpkins are one of the best bands around. Billy Corgan is one of the best!

It actually seems rather quaint, like an old time Victorian novel would sound (but obviously w/out the reference points to rock). Maybe it might come off a a little loopy, but there’s something nice about it as well. I don’t want to necessarily say gracious. But then again anything resembling graciousness is rather a lost art form, I fear.

chicks know what is weird because chicks have built-in weird-o-meters…

i guess i pissed you guys off eh?…too damn bad!…what about the first amendment, huh?…i guess that’s only for you, huh?…this is part of the reason i want NOTHING to do with the music business; because you all glorify mindless rebellion, but silence rebellion that goes against your secular beliefs…

you know; i am sickened just as much by secular types (like some of the folks at rolling stone) as i am by misguided religious fanatics…you all fail to see the light of day…

(i’ll bet you post THIS comment!)

face it; women are a vast oppressive right-wing conspiracy…

Once again, I miss the Gish days Billy. Your music was my gateway to metal and rock in highschool. Rock on, don’t forget your metal roots!!!

liz will likely be a mother someday, but until then she won’t get it…

The bigger question is….is there any hope for Rolling Stone with cynical hacks like this trying to shred at someone who has quite a proven track record of rockin mofo’s across the planet……..

i dunno maybe lizziecomelately is trying to put an axe to great things that came before thine and shall remain a powerful voice far beyond thine

go find another band like the Strokes or the Dandy Warhols…. real enduring music legends there

look liz, it’s seems obvious to me that billy corgan is an alien being sent here to teach humankind universal enlightenment, just look at that photo! (vanilla ice was right on the money about the UFO phenomenon in the surreal life, and it ANGERS me to no end that vh1 made fun of him for being a believer)…

unreadable.

if i wanted to read us weekly i would buy it. i wouldnt write for you if you gave me one of your shiny, fake plastic internships.

new music sucks, and quite frankly, so does the new rolling stone.

Wow Rolling Stone is SO cool with it’s in vogue opinions. What a brilliant feature that was, Liz you really have excelled yourself by picking on the mean Billy Corgan for not making MCIS 2 or even Siamese Dream 2. Billy, if you’re reading this, please go and make those albums – it seems like Liz and every other hack out there won’t give you a break until you find a time machina. Liz, I look forward to reading more of your work, I hope it’s just as punched up with articulate insights as this one. Don’t stop, you’re killing me.

billy corgan has got to be the biggest embarresmant to man kind. honestly.

if it aint rap..im happy.

Billy Corgan is an amazing man and
if you are reading this….thank you for everything.

Yo Liz, dissing my post by deleting: your censorship is thinly veiled by the “off-topic” caveat.

weak – like billy corgan’s ego.

there… i’m ON topic!

Unfortunately I dont see it.. Billy has obviously out grown the “tormented youth” mentality that made him one of my favorite arisits in the early 90s. and as much as i hate to say it, its simply not going to be the same. you cant manufacture the emotions that drive the kind of music that made him popular.. It wasnt about love, life, and the “salvation of humanity”.. it was about being sad, pissed, and helpless.. billy just obviously isnt that man anymore, he was once a bullet with butterfly wings, not he’s just a friggin butterfly..

simply put billy is a (Ass-Assasin)

Crack kills, Billy. Crack kills.

all the naysayers can eat it now that two of the best songs released in the past 8 years are out. stfu.
