The Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan performed in Los Angeles last night, playing four new songs.
Not one of the new songs had a title, reports NME.com; Corgan appeared unsettled at the show, at the Hotel Cafe, and repeatedly retuned his guitar.
Other performers on the evening included E from Eels, The Who's Pete Townshend, and Minnie Driver.
Organiser Rachel Fuller remarked that Corgan was nervous, adding that he'd not played live for a long time. He's also bald, and has been that way since '1979'.
I see
what you've done there, clever you.
He's bald.
Hehe. He's bald.
another example of someone who never heard the word 'no' when he was young
Worst.voice.in music.ever
What about the Molko?
That's a much more irritating whine, shurely?
on record, maybe
Live, though, Corgan's voice is terrible. And I say that as a Smashing Pumpkins fanatic.
well
both voices can be annoying at time, but both bands are utterly godlike more often than not
Mr Corgan
Is a big bald god, I'll have you know.
Yeah
I wanna hear this new stuff...his voice aint that bad Prole.
It conveys a hell of a lot more emotion and mood
Than 90% of wanky normal vocally type bands. So there.
tim weeler from ash
I just can`t listen to it. so flat
On a different note
This means a new album soonish i guess. Will it be good? Probably not, but I will get it anyway.
it'll probably be crap
but I don't care, so long as they tour and play lots of old stuff. The very idea makes me palpitate slightly.
Yes
Apparently they were working with Roy Thomas Baker for a spell, him off of doing Queen and The Darkness.
