my bad agree

Gish is good, Siamese Dream is okay.

That Box Of Rain was pretty bad.

Haven't watched yet, but cringed a bit just reading the headline yesterday.

 

Not a fan.

 

Dude wants to be called William Corgan now instead of Billy, and is singing the praises of the Dave Matthews Band.  It's as if he's going through some sort of reverse mid-life crises.  He's clearly lost his mind.

Billy is now William Patrick, became a devout Christian, owns NWA wrestling, renounces all drugs, claims to have witnessed shape shifters, and the craziest move of all - he covers a GD song!!?

Gish is an incredible album, Siamese Dream was a decent follow up. Unfortunately it all went downhill after that. 

 

 

>>>That Box Of Rain was pretty bad

 

is it as bad as I envision it being?

>>>>>is it as bad as I envision it being?

It might be just a little bit better than you envision it.

Well good for will-he-is corgan then

He's a fan and sharing what he loves.  Good for him.  Love the Pumkins and they were a staple all through college and beyond.  Listened to him on Stern this week and he is an interesting but weird dude.  Did a nice version of After the Gold Rush but it went down hill with his conspiracy theory and anti-globalism BS 

Billy Corgan is the new owner of the National Wrestling Alliance, popularly known as the NWA.

that was horrible

 

and what was with the "this is for jerry" ?

>> and what was with the "this is for jerry" ?

 

i think it was an attempt at humor.

 

i don't think it's 'bad' at all. It sounds like Billy Corgan making an honest attempt at the song, and pretty much makes it sound like Billy Corgan covering Box of Rain.

what did you think it would/should sound like?
