Billy Corgan, this week released his first solo album. After the break up of popular 1990s band Smashing Pumpkins, ex-frontman Corgan formed Zwan, whose only release was a commercial and critical failure.
After Zwan's implosion, Corgan went solo; today, his new album The Full Embrace was released. In an article with a Corgan interview that appeared in the Chicago Sun-Times just two days ago, this telling (or so we thought) passage appeared.
The one thing fans should not expect (in Corgan's upcoming tour) is Smashing Pumpkins songs.
“What’s unfortunate about what we would call a second act of a career is that if you don’t continue to exploit your past or let them knock you around and turn you into what they think you should be, they basically stick their boot in the back of your neck,” Corgan said.
But in this morning's Chicago Tribune, Billy Corgan took out a full-page ad, where he states that he now wants to re-form Smashing Pumpkins.
Does any of this make sense? Probably not. Couldn't he have just e-mailed the ex-Pumpkins?
