"i want my record contract back, and my money, and my rolls royce."

 

[NAD]

He's been saying that for years. When uhh.... what was the name of the band he had with Paz? He broke up that one because he said he couldn't work in anything but the Pumpkins.

Even though I never heard their last two albums, I'm all for it because the Smashing Pumpkins were fucking awesome.

 

[lizard]

it's not like we couldn't see this coming from like 20,456 miles away. Erik hit the nail on the head; as good as the Pumpkins could or could not be, that's where the money is.

 

[lurch70]

the fact that he took out "full page" advertisements in newspapers to say this ... that is what makes this weird.

- Oscar Wilde

I wonder how long it took him and his publicist to come up with the perfect soundbite quote, "I want my band back, and my songs, and my dreams."

Publicist: Billy, we need to make a statement that will grab the public by the throat...
Corgan: Something dramatic...like I've somehow had my legacy taken away...
Publicist: And that you're fighting to take it back!!! Yes!
Corgan: how about, "Damn you, James Iha, you asian bastard..."

 

[NAD]

His solo album comes out today. I say it that way because most music stores aren't open for another half hour in my time zone.

 

[lizard]

what a coincidence!!

 

[lurch70]

Corgan: how about, "Damn you, James Iha, you asian bastard..."

 

[lizard]

well he can't punish Chamberlain more than he already has!

 

[NAD]

All this hate is just driving me straight to the music store. :Spin:

 

[lizard]

dude you've fallen for the marketing ploy!!

I called Media Play today to check on the new Acid King. they said to call back on Friday, stupid bastards.

 

[NAD]

Well maybe not, but I'll probably pick up a few SP albums I'm missing for cheap on half.com. I don't know why I never got their other crap, since Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie are some of my favorite albums evAr.

Doomcifer says the new Acid King rocks. I have a tendency to trust that dude so it probably does.

 

[lizard]

I grabbed the free track off the site...no departure from their norm, but hey, they're not trying anything that wasn't being done in 1971

 

[cthulufhtagn]

SP thru mellon collie>>>>>>>>>everything corgan's done since

my prediction: suck

 

[lizard]

but dude, he wants his songs back!!!



it sounds like they've been kidnapped by pedophiles or something.

 

[E-bortion]

"the bald-headed Corgan said,"

 

[cthulufhtagn]

In a prepared statement, Corgan addressed the kidnappers today:

"All I want is for my precious songs to be returned to me. And my car keys." [/stephen lynch]

 

[lizard]

Corgan faced a hushed gathering of news media cameras today....

"Please...." sobbed Corgan, "Return my songs and dreams unharmed and I'll offer a no-questions-asked reward! Return my songs and dreams and my membership card to Hair Club for Men!"

 

[NAD]

GIVE ME BACK MY SONGS!!! [/Mel Gibson]

haha, that movie sucked so hard.
