Indie world won't have me, and mainstream world treats me like an alien, but here I am still floating between these two worlds.
Billy Corgan

It seems to me that references to bands like Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin meant more to me a year ago and all those old things are totally losing importance.
Billy Corgan
Image
I dont think we're the type of band people look at and say, 'I want to grow up to be just like that'. We're like a train wreck.

To re-embrace what I once loved about music has been a warming process for me, because it's a good, earned feeling now.

Image
It was shocking to see Nirvana play, because it was like, Here's this little guy with a monster-guitar sound. And it was heavier than Black Sabbath. That was shocking.

Do I belong in the conversation about the best artists in the world? My answer is yes, I do.

I usually wake up far after breakfast. That's as much as you're going to find out about my dietary requirements other than marijuana and vodka.
