Billy Corgan Is Smashing Pumpkins On Soundgarden & Pavement

Billy Corgan

Billy Corgan recently expressed his feelings about bands returning to the stage after a long hiatus in a press conference: “There are those bands that are essentially coming back only to make money,” he told Philstar.com, “playing their old albums, and maybe somewhere in the back of their minds they’re thinking there might be a future.”

He went on, “I am not in that business, obviously. I condemn anybody who’s in that business but doesn’t admit he’s in that business. When Soundgarden came back and they just played their old songs, great. I was a fan of Soundgarden, but call it for what it is. They’re just out there to have one more round at the till; same with Pavement and these other bands.”
