Says he's not a big fan of his, but respects him for being genuine over his imitators. Corgan's kind of funny, he clearly loves the Grunge era and misses it, yet takes all of these little subtle potshots at his contemporaries. It's like, make up your mind.

    He knows he's lost all musical relevance so he keeps sulking...SP used to be my favorite band, but I have lost all respect for the guy now.

    I don't really care whether someone likes or dislikes Pearl Jam or a member of Pearl Jam. Its what I like that matters. I'm not gonna stop listening to Smashing Pumpkins just because Billy Corgan isn't pals with Vedder :fp:

    "you can't manufacture people like me"? What a narcissistic asshole. Billy Corgan isn't a big fan of anybody other than himself.

    Eddie Vedder killed the Cubs chances at winning a World Series? Wow - I need to go rethink my life and my favorite band. I don't think I could ever forgive EV for what he has done.
    (please note sarcasm above)

    Billy Corgan is a bitter man with a huge ego.

    I love Billy, he's a trier who believes he can still play it big and to be fair the new album is a surprise albeit not perfect but he still has talent in there. His opinion on Ed or anyone else doesn't matter, Ed could say Billy is a complete twat which would be true but it wouldn't change my opinion about the greatness of one of the 90's best songwriters and guitarists.

    Billy is just jealous because pearl jam is still relevant and he still plays with a band that calls themselves the smashing pumpkins even though he is the only member. Have fun touring casino's billy when your new album debut's at #109!

    Some of what Billy said was right. There are a hundred EV imitators. Ed once said he could copyright his songs but wished he could copyright the way he sings.

    People love to pull this crap out and create celebrity feuds. Billy is extremely talented but Ed's just...better.

    Take this with a grain of salt. The guy who spouts an opinion about Eddie Vedder is also the guy who said on the Stern show last week that Jessica Simpson was a smart girl. :fp:

    +1 dude. Its like everyone is 10 years old and its the he says/she says bullshit. People should form their own opinions. Ed's great but I'm not gonna hang on every word he says and if someone says "Pearl Jam are shit" start hating that person.

    Actually, I'm a huge pumpkins fan and own just about everything Billy's done, including the short lived Zwan, but there comes a point where when everything you hear from is shit spewing from his mouth about others and it makes him intolerable to a lot of people. As far as that interview is concerned, there are plenty of other things to dislike him for besides what he said about Eddie, and as someone already mentioned, there's a reason he keeps trying to revive his band even though no one wants to work with him. He's an ass plain and simple, and he's the one acting like a 10 year old, not us.

    They did anything after Gish? Saw them live in a small venue, maybe 600 people in 93 or 94. He spent most of the time between songs preaching about how artistic he is/was. Whatever man.

    Must say I like the new album - Oceania ... after last few records finally smtg which caught my attention!

    saw them live few years back (2007 ?) ... was terrible ... wall of noise to be honest ... but recently they sound pretty fresh to me ...

    My dislike of Billy Corgan has nothing to do with whether or not he likes Pearl Jam or any other kind of jam for that matter. To me, Smashing Pumpkins has a decent album or 2, and a few decent songs spattered across the rest of their records, but I've never really cared much for or about them. At times Billy's voice sounds like a dying goat, he hasn't written a decent song in 10 years, and he seems to be stomping his feet like a 12 year old lately just trying to get someone to pay attention to him. He's like the Axl Rose of alt rock.

    Gish was a good album...mot much since 1995 onwards that caught my attention... And saw them in Feb 2008 and it was truly dreadful...One of only 2 gigs I have left early... As a Valentine's Night Out for me and the missus it was memorable...Heard Oceana was a return to form...Heard that a few times over the last 15 Years... I don't care whether he's a nob or not... He just doesn't write particularly good songs in my opinion... Which is a shame given the early promise...
