We've turned into a whining society.
From Billy Corgan
I'm just an artist. I can only do so much. I can only say so much.
I think when I listen to old records, it puts me back in the atmosphere of what it felt like to make the record and who was there and what the room looked like. It's more a sensory memory.
I mean there's certainly a lot of progressive rock and metal that exists at the underground level, which has its own vitality, as it should. But it seems to have lost its ability to really charge up the hill.
My mother and I parting company at four years old is a recurring theme; although it's not symbolically necessarily present, it's present in all my relationships.
People try to make a big deal, like I don't want to play my old songs. That's not it. I don't want to play my old songs if that's my only option. That's a different thing.
The things I'm guided to do are really strange to me.
People think I take some sort of masochistic pleasure out of putting out music that's gonna be unpopular.
One thing I've learned to appreciate as I've gotten a little older is direct forms of communication.
I think the days of working with producers in the conventional sense are over for me.
