I’m not expecting this quote to be featured in any “Billy Corgan is a delusional narcissist” hit pieces:
But here’s one example: We were in the studio, and Rick pulled me aside and he said, “I get it.” And I was like, “What do you get?” And he said, “James softens the metal.” And what Rick meant by that is, James has a way of taking the blunt-force trauma of how Jimmy and I approach rock music and creating a softer, more psychedelic kind of layering thing that somehow makes it feel cooler or sexier. And when you see it happen and you notice it, especially because it hasn’t been around for a while, you’re like, “Oh, that’s that thing that people like!”
I didn’t notice the video screen for that song in-particular, but she was evidently edited out of all the old videos / footage that accompanied the songs in the early part of the set.
You can see Try Try Try here (albeit sometimes with the screens not in shot)
the backdrop features a video of a bleached blond woman shooting up with glowing drugs apparatus, then waking to fumble around with empty wine bottles.
That just sounds like the Jonas Akurlamf video / short film that accompanied it?
I had no idea this was on there either, I don’t recognize a lot of these titles. I’m glad the general public will get to hear Germans in Leather Pants.
I’m guessing the answer is no, but is there a full version of the Pastichio Medley version of The Groover anywhere?
I’d somehow never heard the full version of Star Song either. I didn’t even realize what I was listening to and then suddenly that solo popped up like an old friend.
Arggghh! Im fucking done!! Soon as the butchered/brickwalled/remixed to shit version of Machina finally drops I think im out the door. Corgan is totally clueless. What is this shit?!?
