oh that Billy Corgan, at it again :roll:
I can’t think of any people outside of Weird Al Yankovic who have both embraced and pissed on Rock more than I have. Obviously there’s a level of reverence, but there’s also a level of intelligence to even know what to piss on. ‘Cause I’m not pissing on Rainbow. I’m not pissing on Deep Purple. But I’ll piss on fuckin’ Radiohead, because of all this pomposity. This value system that says Jonny Greenwood is more valuable than Ritchie Blackmore. Not in the world I grew up in, buddy. Not in the world I grew up in.

So I find myself defending things. Is Ritchie Blackmore a better guitar player than me and Jonny Greenwood? Yes. Have we all made contributions? Yes. I’m not attacking that. I’m attacking the pomposity that says this is more valuable than that. I’m sick of that. I’m so fucking sick of it, and nobody seems to tire of it.

    I don't know....I kinda agree with him. It just could have been worded better.

    He was referring to this generation's music fan. The media preyed the most distorted part of the explanation and posted that as their headline to exploit.

    he's from Chicago.

    and he doesn't need anyone to pay attention to him. he just says what he wants. yes, he sounds like a douche most of the time, but so do we all. most "stars" just put their filter on before they get interviewed, he doesn't. he's like the grunge version of Dave Mustaine.
