Corgan bashes Eddie

edited November 2008 in The Porch
I was at the Smashing Pumpkins show tonight in Chicago, and Billy joked about how he should write his own Cubs song. He pointed out that, aside from his arrogance, you'd have to admit that he could write a better one than Steve Goodman. Then he stated something along the lines of, "...and last I checked Eddie Vedder doesn't live in Chicago". I have to admit, I think Eddie got served.

The show was fucking amazing by the way.

    I cringe at the thought of Billy Corgan singing a song about the cubs.

    Billy Corgan shouldn't talk smack about anyone.

    i think billy corgan gets off on poking fun at ed. i feel bad for billy corgan. the smashing pumpkins were an awesome band..... then they just turned bad. not to mention his side project (i cant remember the name)

    jimmy chamberlain is the man though

    i love the pumpkins but it's too bad that billy is too full of himself. the only reason that band isn't together is because of him. The group he played with tonight wasn't the smashing pumpkins.

    I'm thinking Corgan has probably never picked up a baseball bat in his life

    What does living in Chicago got to do with being a fan of the Cubs? I think the majority of sports fans like a team in some sport from outside their own state. Of course Ed was born in Chi-town and loves the team, it's obvious. So who gives a flying fuck where his home is located. Corgan is as jealous of Ed as Cobain was and it's so sad to see these hacks try and bring him down. He's so far above Corgan that it's not even fair to discuss him with Ed in the same sentence. Ed got served, ha. I'm sure he's crying to his classy wife and his rock legend friends as we speak about being served by Corgan for his Cubs song.

    His band now is nothing more than a tribute band of the real Pumpkins. He knows it, all he's after is touring money. They couldn't produce a good song now if they had to. At the peak of the Smashing Suckins songwriting ability, Pearl Jam's B Sides were still better. When someone continues to bash another person, you know it's eating them up inside that the other person is just plain got you beat in life and career.

    Corgan, go put a gun in your mouth and get it over with or better yet, jump back into bed with that crack whore Courtney Love.


    I'm gonna go listen to 1979 and laugh my ass off at how pathetic he is.

    This is a guy who's excuse for quitting music after Machina was he couldn't keep up with Britney Spears..

    I like some of their music, but Billy in not a serious musician, and I'll never take him seriously.

    Now I know Ed pokes fun, but usually he has a good reason..


    And Billy, Glow is a HORRIBLE song.

    It's kind of a bummer what the Pumpkins turned into, Siamese Dream & Mellon Collie are such good albums

    I was at one of their shows down in Bloomington-Normal, IL last year and Billy said something about Ed too!

    Some guy he brought down to the front row from the way back was wearing a Pearl Jam shirt and Billy made some remark that sounded like a joke but could tell it was jealousy.

    Billy will never what Pearl Jam is. I am a fan of some of their records though!

    I never and will NEVER understand why the Smashing Pumpkins are SO popular and amazing and all that, Billy's voice is...cringe-worthy and whatever the fuck he's doing now with he's so called "Smashing Pumpkins" is ridiculous, and wow...what a terrible slur to Eddie...I bet Eddie can't live anymore! Ugh...He does have to get over himself! Like many of you said here, he will match up to the juggernaut that is Pearl Jam!

    People gotta get over this shit

    He also has said this tour

    'We arn't going to play karma police or jeremy spoke in'

    Billy is so fucking funny, he has been destroying people this tour who just chant out songs. Its really getting to him these days who people just think he is some puppet on strings. He's certainly trying to justiy to people some things this tour. Don't get why people can't just chill and take a joke. If you know anything about the pumpkins its just Billy Banter, underlying it, it could be serious but fuck it who cares really.

    He also said

    'Id like you to find another band with beards who play over 40 songs over 2 nights)

    'We still rock than more 99% of the bands on this fucking planet'

    This is interesting

    Billy is a bell end of huge proportions,

    He's a has been and should fuck off and stop bothering us all.

    Someone should remind Billy that he himself doesn't even live in Chicago anymore...L.A?...What?

    Yeah that's right!!!
    Fucking L.A...so what's his point?

    Anyways...

    The Pumpkins were once a good band but now under the ego-driven dictatorship of that bottom feeding shit eater Billy Corgan, they are now a sick and pathetic shadow of their former selves.

    Where's Darcy and James when you need em'?

    Amen.

    Billy has been a little off his rocker lately...

    I was reading an article about a recent show in NYC where he was mocking the city and making fun of the crowd for coming to see him....WTF????

    Seriously, Billy just hang it up dude.

    Corgan's an asshat plain and simple. I enjoy most of his music, but the guy's ego is bigger than his current career.

    It's really funny when you think about it a little. Here's the quote he said "And if the Cubs did have any chance this past year, Eddie Vedder killed that dead." Eddie [Vedder] ain't living here, [so he can't] write a song about my team."


    The fact is Ed did write a song about the Cubs. The fact is every bar in Chicago played the song almost nonstop during the end of the season. The fact is the Cubs fans fuckin fell in love with the song. The fact is the Cubs organization embrassed it. They played it on the loud speakers during the celebration after they clinched. The kicker to all this is that Fuckin Mr. Cub Ernie Banks is the one who asked Ed to write a song about the team. And if Ernie Banks is behind it, then who the hell is Billy Corgan to reject it.

    Fuck off you bald pretentious hack. This dude must bottle his own farts and sits around sniffing it.


    Okay that's my last post about Bill Corgan.
