I find his voice amusing. It's not cringe-inducing enough to bother me that much, but I can't help but laugh at all the people who suck the band's cock as if his whiny voice and overwrought, poet-wannabe lyrics weren't so silly and embarrassing that nobody could possibly take them seriously.

I mean, come on, "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness"? Seriously? That's the name they chose for an album? Either Billy Corgan is a depressive 90s kid cliche or he was just picking a name out of his ass to appeal to all the dumb depressive 90s kids whose money he was reaching for.

I love how Billy Corgan turned out to be a hilariously retarded conspiracy nut.

Lol. I think it's a bit of both.

And OMG, I'm going back through that album out of curiosity, and I was wanting to hit my computer after two songs. I'd even forgotten just how hideous some of the lyrics were. From my FAVORITE Pumpkins song...

Quote:

Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness
And cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me

I don't even... Slayer is more subtle than that! Anybody who isn't amused, annoyed, or just loudly indifferent to that lyric is a moron.

And this is written by the dude who said only he and Cobain were the last great musicians.

He's always been a douchebag, but at least the conspiracy side of him makes it funny.

I'm gonna wait till I'm drunk to start an anti-Smashing Pumpkins thread.

Please do! I need that in my life.

I'm going to wait until you're in a dubtrack session again and I'm going to blast Smashing Pumpkins tunes for hours.
