    Amazing how Corgan went the opposite direction of other musicians that realized that their hating on other bands in the 90s was worthless and mostly off base.

    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.


    Corgan is always a bitter old man, he's just jealous because Ed has great hair and all his musicians are still with him.

    I saw the Pumpkins at Lolapalooza 94 at the Gorge, and they were the worst band I have ever seen in my life. Played this long slow boring thing in the middle, treated their fans awful. George Clinton was way more entertaining as were the Beastie Boys.

    Billy Corgan wants that massive love and respect that we all give Ed, but he's such an ass, he thinks he deserves it. How about some humility there assclown.

    Get over it Billy your career is basically over with your tribute band. You guys should be doing anything to get fans in the door. Let em bring video cameras for christ sake.
    Let's see those 2013 dates in the southern states.

    Have people even bothered to listen to any of the new music that the Pumpkins have been putting out. A lot of the new music that's being written is pretty damn good. It seems that there are way to many quick, harsh comments about Billy just because of a comment he made about Ed. Their playing small venues, they did two huge residency gigs last year that couldn't have made them very much money. Here's some examples of the new stuff that people should here before passing judgment.

    I hear what you're saying, but just because he can write good music and play small venues doesn't change the fact that Billy is a complete asshole. He's always been an asshole, and he will always be an asshole. And just b/c I feel that way does not mean that I do not care about his music.

    that was my review of the Smashing Pumpkins N1 show that was linked on page two of the thread.

    The N2 review can be found here:

    I'm a PJ fan first and foremost, but that being said who cares if Corgan took a shot at Eddie's Cubs song. Whether there was legitimate anger/jealousy behind the comment or not, I got a kick out of it. I don't think it's worth it to read anything more into it than that.

    I find it very funny that, if someone makes fun of Eddie Vedder or Pearl Jam you all have a hissy fit and jump all over the person for saying shit about him or the band.

    . . . yet if Pearl Jam or more specifically Eddie talks shit about someone (which he has) you're all like "Yeah right on!! you tell em' Ed!"

    nothing but fucking drones

    Whoever said it wasn't wrong when Eddie talks shit about other bands?

    Corgan's comments were really lame...I don't understand why he felt the need to diss Eddie for writing a song for the Cubs...and his reasoning was just plain retarded.

    If Corgan feels he can write a better song...

    WELL THEN WRITE A BETTER FUCKING SONG BALDY AND SHUT UP!!!

    Billy Corgan has never "laced 'em up"

    good ol' pitchfork

    To be fair, Ed and PJ have milked their side projects a bit recently and could be seen to be losing a bit of artisitic integrity - it is about time they got back to being Pearl Jam.

    However, I agree with some comments that Billy Corgan is in a glass house here if he is alluding Ed selling out a bit. After all, you wouldn't call it Pearl Jam with just Ed and Matt, would you?
    we're all going to the same place...

    Most of the users here will agree with anything and everything Pearl Jam and Eddie has to say, even if it is negative or dissing another band.. remember MSG 03 and his comment about Good Charlotte? Everyone was on the band wagon. Well that's not fair, at least 95 percent were on the band wagon and had their own negative words about that band

    In Ed's defense, he only makes fun of shitty bands. He has the right to do it, he's a fucking legend.

    I don't know...I think you're making a bit of a generalization.

    Although I disagree with Eddies comments about Good Charlotte...I still thought it was a bit childish of him to do so.

    Here he's in the middle of a Sold out Show at MSG...The band is Rocking...and he wastes time talking about how Bad Good Charlotte is...

    Now
    I know I spend alot of time dissing bands myself...but there's a difference between discussing and writing about how shite you think a band is on a message board and doing it from a stage, with a microphone in front of thousands of people.

    PJAMEDVED you absolutely nailed it. The REAL pumpkins fell apart ages ago, and Corgan can't seem to get it together anymore. Fucking has-been.

    Well if the shoe fits. I'm not saying EVERYONE agrees with Pearl Jam or Eddie but good portion here will agree with any statement spewed out of the Pearl Jam camp

    hey pal :)


    I happen to agree with the "kid" here - people do think Ed is God like.

    I personally CAN'T STAND IT when he starts talking about other bands or other people in general and just dissing them because he thinks it funny

    i think it's childish to the max
