Pretty good, he nailed the desire of wanting to listen to an album from start to finish. But how often am I going to/will have time to do that?
Nothing on here is radio friendly, again...mission accomplished, Billy. Still a weird approach and proves how stubborn he is with the industry clearly going in the opposite direction. I know hes against that, but jesus...he sounds like an old man not down with modern times. Just adapt.

His bitching isn't even coherent. Pompous something.....Placing a greater value on certain guitarists is bullshit but I'll go ahead and state one of my heroes is better than some other guitarist...waaaaaaaa?
Translation = I'm pissed that my work is no longer held in great esteem, unlike Radiohead.
I would say listening to the radio is a bit "not down with modern times".
I like it so far. Better than ZG anyway. I stopped listening to them for the most part when Adore came out. I now love that album, but I've never been able to get into any of that Machina stuff.
I don't mean me when I'm saying making something radio friendly. I don't listen to the radio but when someone has an ego that big and wants to be loved by all, play the fucking rules.
I agree with the Machina era stuff...I look back on it and cringe, but its never as bad as my mind makes it out to be when I do give Machina a listen. Machina II seems like a collection of B-sides, why its praised is beyond me.
I think at this point I'm gonna say Zeitgeist is a better album than Oceania...I think I subconsciously miss the hard hitting drums even though I don't think the new kid isn't bad.
Well Radiohead's latest album is garbage too, except for Lotus Flower.His bitching isn't even coherent. Pompous something.....Placing a greater value on certain guitarists is bullshit but I'll go ahead and state one of my heroes is better than some other guitarist...waaaaaaaa?

Or. Or. Just keep making the music you want, how you want. Those who get it will get it. Those who don't, who cares?
I get that to a degree but it's like if Tool started making Christian music. If I listen to tool i want to hear tool, not whatever Maynard feels like making right now. If billy wants to throw shit at the wall and see what sticks then form a new band instead of dragging the pumpkins through the mud.
I understand that different fans have different preferences. If I had my way, SP never would have left the limbo space between Adore and Machina. But I have absolutely no expectation for Billy to cater to my particular whims. I want Billy to be happy with the music he makes - that's the SP I want to hear. If he wants to play a whole set without BWBW, god bless him, do it.
Billy Corgan doesn't care about being relevent anymore - that's just an expectation being projected on him by his fans. He's getting older and I don't think he has any expectations of being played on the radio again. If this is the music that makes him happy, this is the direction I want to see SP going, whether it's my "favorite" Pumpkins or not.
Hey guys, is the iTunes stream only available for US users? I can't find it anywhere
Sounds? He is.
Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan has lambasted the iTunes and Facebook culture for helping to take the danger out of rock 'n' roll. In an interview with Antiquiet, Corgan vented his disdain for the 'cuddliness' of social networking and iTunes. He thinks that the phenomenon of iTunes and Facebook could be holding back the next generation of genuine rock talent from 'kicking their own door in' as bands such as The Clash and Nirvana had done in the past. His comments, ironically, come at a time when his band's latest album Oceania is a featured album on the iTunes Store and can be streamed for free ahead of its release.
For Corgan, there is a certain peer pressure on Facebook that stops people from expressing their real thoughts and feelings on topics. 'Look, we're all insecure in our own ways, most of us,' said Corgan. 'You've got a Facebook with a few hundred friends. If you do something truly radical, are you ready to withstand the forty negative comments?' he argues. 'Most people aren't. So they're getting peer pressured at levels they don't even realize. It's what you don't say,' Corgan said during his interview.
As for iTunes, Corgan believes that the type of attitudinal disruption that was brought out through bands like Rage Against the Machine seems to have evaporated thanks to iTunes. Apple's 'friendly cuddly' technology has ruined, for Corgan, the idea of rock as a weapon for railing against what is wrong in the word today.
'Tom Morello [of RATM] had this quote on his guitar from Woody Guthrie: 'This guitar is a f***ing weapon. This guitar kills fascists.' 'Love kills f***ing fascists,' said Corgan. 'And when music is so goddamned f***ing iTunes friendly cuddly, it makes me want to f***ing puke,' he exclaimed. 'The world has never been more dangerous than it is right now, and we have a limp, impotent artistic response to the situation.'
And Ill leave with anyone this night
And Ill kiss anyone tonight
Am I the only one you see?
His voice isn't as gritty as it used to be for one. Theres no doubt that his voice now compared to 89 -2000 isn't the same. It was at its worst on Zeitgeist though. Utterly terrible.

I hate to pull the "I'm a musician and..." card, but the guy has learned how to sing. It's lost the rawness, but that's been replaced with technical ability and control, so I'm forced to support it.
After a couple of days with it, I've decided I really like it. Billy's tastes have changed. So have mine. There's enough that's close to "back in the day" that I can accept it as a Pumpkins album. It's really best if you can leave your expectations at the door. If you'd never heard of the Pumpkins, you'd probably like it.
starz would be good if it was just called "stars" and if he didn't basically ruin the song be adding in "we ah staaaas... we ahhh" awful)
