As well, Corgan talks about his decision to bring performers from his wrestling company the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) on tour to perform between bands; his thoughts on nostalgia; his relationship with the guitar and writing riffs today; and how becoming a father has changed how he approaches his work.

People get lost in the weeds of whether album X that came out three years before album Y is worlds better than Y. I've listened to it all.... The quality is consistent. Corgan has produced an astounding body of work.

The stuff after 2003 isn’t the same. Post 2000 isnt as good. He was on a run from 88-2000

Maybe the trouble with finding an Australian tour promoter had something to do with him throwing tantrums at gigs in the past, back before he was this ‘at peace’ with his back-catalogue/associated ‘nostalgia’ … I witnessed one such thrash tirade 🙄😏 Despite that, I was at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre again for this year’s tour, and it’s great to see Billy in a much better place (vis-a-viz his amazing back-catalogue) now … Didn’t have my Zero shirt with me, so wore my Tatum jersey (#0), lol. Was right near the front, so he must have clocked my bright green BOSTON jersey, lol. The poor old Bulls aren’t what they were (either?! ☺️) … Hey, just jokes / the world’s a vampire / etc etc … 😇

Billy Corgan makes statements about people being so outraged about the music and how they've changed things. But the thing is, nobody has ever made these statements. EVER!
