Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan: 'Life Did Not Turn Out the Way I'd Planned It, Not Even Close'

Graham 'Gruhamed' Hartmann — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 18:52:32 +0000

We're beginning to think that Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan may have a grudge against some of his former bandmates. Additionally, and this might be a bit of a stretch, but Corgan seems to also enjoy the occasional trash-talking session. Finally, and by all means correct us if we're wrong, it seems possible that Billy Corgan may possess some sort of internal turmoil. We developed this hypothesis after reading a recent statement from Corgan, where he threw some ill will at some former Smashing Pumpkins members, while analyzing his personal life as well.

KC — Tue, 12 Jun 2012 00:43:32 +0000

I don't know if you have ever tried to roll down a hill in an old tire. But it was probably one of the dumbest ideas I have ever had. The tire was old and had rusty metal belts sticking out of it. Too top it off it made me so damn sick. It felt like I had just gotten off of the "Zipper" set on warp speed. Needless to say, I yakked. In today's Vidiot, a group of kids try the same stupid thing.
