Things have not quite gone to plan for Billy Corgan since re-forming Smashing Pumpkins in 2006. “We found that America had turned every older band into the ‘reunion band,’” says Corgan. “It was ‘I just want to hear those eight songs and drink my beer.’ You think, ‘I’m 41 years old, and I’ve earned some level of trust.’” But he’s optimistic about the band’s 20th anniversary tour this fall, which will hit a handful of major cities and mix up songs from all parts of the Pumpkins’ career. Click below for more on Corgan’s plans for the tour and for the next Smashing Pumpkins record.

Billy Corgan is such a whiny bitch. Always the victim. Maybe it would occur to him that their last release just wasn’t good?

agreed. billy corgan is talented, but not nearly as talented as he thinks he is. and he needs to cool it with the bullshit 10 minute eddie van halen rip off solos. he really thinks he’s a guitar hero? what an ego.

Trust is a funny way for Corgan to describe it. Is he insulting American fans again? They had a solid fan base when they broke up. Diehard fans don’t remain diehard if you boot them aside.

when did fans and critics merge souls??

Losers, leave him alone. Cereal. Anyone who has enjoyed a SP song should leave it at that.

Super cereal. If you can do better, in composition, vocals,guitar, synth, production, mastering + publicity. Then I might take your comments on board. However, you guys honestly resemble those idiots that watch a viedo clip on youtube and bombard the artists comments section with utterly STOOPID bullshit.

Poor Billy, I still love you homie.

I’m super, duper cereal

P.s he earned the right to have an ego – along with alot of money. . . Wtf did you earn in your life?
