“i’ve never once lambasted anyone who has expressed enjoyment of billy corgan’s music.” –Evan, above

“Rather than ask me why I’m writing this, ask yourself why you’re reading this. Sorry, I was reading the words off the back of some retard’s Smashing Pumpkins concert t-shirt.” –Evan, this blog’s “About” page

Octavius here and
I was there as well.
I want to thank everyone who has an opinion
about the what and the who and the how.
The mission statement of our band is to scrub your
brain of thoughts in general.
Rust removal. To be thinking while
listening to us is to deny what we have for you.
We cause consternation in the grey area
on purpose. It must be working.
Next time we are around,
seize the moment,let go of your mind
and be washed.
Come in and get clean or stay away dirty!
ps
Kerry Brown’s Aquarian name is Stargate
and we appreciate Billy for pushing his comfort zone
and jumping into the unknown with us. How about you ?
Be kind be harmless,peace

Wow, way to have an original opinion about Corgan, totally not following the generic music critic hatred. Honestly, there doesn’t seem to be anything genuine in your critique of Billy when you talk about not liking the way he looks and being nauseated from previous experiences.

He has a whiny personality and there are enough things to dislike about him as a person, but as a guest musician it’s hard not to see him as an asset. I wasn’t there, I don’t know how horribly he might have played for the few minutes you watched, but leaving the show due to him kind of illustrates a ridiculous bias when the band in general had long passages that sucked. I’m guessing you mainly soured the show for yourself, by focusing on things you’ve heard repeated ad nauseam about Billy’s ego in Pitchfork reviews, rather than focusing on the music.
