He was already saying "let's put it this way". Anyway i remember when they headlined, this was before i became a fan, i liked the siamese dreams singles but i was busy being into other bands then. I remember going to montreal with my mom in the summer and picking up an entertainment weekly and there was an interview with Corgan in it since lollapalooza stopped in mtl. , this was the first interview of him i ever read. I got into the band with MCIS and then for 6 or 7 years they were my favorite band. There's a lot of formative experiences of my life i owe to this band (first online community i ever was a part of, first show, first trip outside the country, first gf, first sexual experience...)

I was at the 1994 Lollapalooza show at The Gorge in central Washington state. The most beautiful amphitheater in the world. I remember the Beastie Boys playing before SP did and the BB just trash talking SP on stage. I really like Billy, but I thought he performed a kinda Jim Morrison freak-out on stage that somehow didn't impress me. And I love Jim Morrison. Oh yeah, I was frying on shrooms at the time... Dang! Did I miss Green Day that day.

Saw them on this Lollapalooza tour at Quonset Point in Rhode Island. Wasn't their night apparently. Set just fell completely apart half way through. Billy doing a bunch of crazy rants and playing random Van Haken riffs. I remember Billy saying to the crowd, "we're not trying to suck..." Still love the Pumpkins and put Siamese Dream in my top 5 albums. Never bothered to try to see them live again after that however.

@marvinlear5848Ай бұрын
Interestingly, this show's page on Internet Archive has a review from one of the prominent TSP live archivist fans. He says, "this has the be one of the best Lollapalooza shows...I Am One and Silverfuck are just ridiculous." I would assume he meant "ridiculous" in a good way, but it could go either way, it would seem, depending on the person. I listened to the live I Am One recording, in particular. For the record, Billy played a single Van Halen riff that lasted no more than 7 seconds. There was some audience banter about sucking. It was after James had been goofing with the crowd and apparently started tap dancing. Billy says, "You know we're fucked when he starts resorting to cheap vaudeville tricks. Well, we're sorry we sucked. We're gonna try and make it up to you in one song," and then they play their show closer, Silverfuck. At one point during its breakdown when there's more audience banter, James says, "Boy, we really are sucking tonight. We're telling all our worst jokes all in one show. We're sorry." Then they end it with two minutes of rocking that almost immediately devolves into complete chaos. Billy spends about 2 minutes straight doing nothing but pure screamo! It gets a bit disturbing, tbh. I can only imagine how this would have come across to anyone in the crowd tripping on the wrong kind of drugs, lol.

It's because the reopening of (that) venue (one where so many rock and roll bands played over history) was a historical event to many. Not to Billy apparently. I stopped to read your post because all other posts were simply gushing positively about how 'adorable' Billy is.. Nothing of substance. Yours actually had something to say other than how 'cute' he is. I personally think it was a bummer interview.. Especially to the people who booked him.. Hoping I'm sure that he felt the honor of the booking. I thought I was lucky to time my ticket purchase 'call' (path to tickets in those days) but in less than 5 minutes told by recording "this show is now sold out". Later finding out more than half the tickets were set aside for "special vip people".The night of the show I stood in the streets to get a ticket. Didn't happen. I don't know if questions towards more current events would have gotten a more 'emotive' Corigan. He seems like he has throughout his career. Jaded.. Arrogant. Contemptuous of the questioning. Almost like he's out to make sure he doesn't give what he knows is expected from him. An expectation killer. Which is what he's practiced throughout he's career. I saw him once when he headlined a show.. Following the beastie boys.. Who just blew up the place.. (shoreline amphitheater).. The place went bananas. Knowing he couldn't compete Corigan came out and just fucked off. Had people from the audience play guitar.. Refused to play any of the music the fans wanted to see. Did some accustic stuff. Had his band on stage only part of the time. It sucked. At the time siamese dream was the album out. (which I loved and was looking forward to hearing). Nope. He knew he couldn't match the performance the beasties put up so he tanked his own show. I'm still a fan of his music. But tanking expectations on a regular basis is a narcissistic trait that (to me) is very off putting. Grow up. The fact is that all rock and roll listeners (should) appreciate the venues and promoters who gave artists a place to show the fans who they are.. Live. As someone who "knows 'too' much about music" (his words) it would have been nice to hear just a word of genuine appreciation for the Filmore. The first place to host Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa and many others. But I guess that would have been giving the journalists what they wanted. I do see your point though.
