BILLY CORGAN SAYS HE’S NOT A BIG EDDIE VEDDER FAN, BUT RESPECTS HIM OVER IMITATORS

By: 24 June 2012 136 Comments

Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan discussed Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder on Opie and Anthony on Thursday, “You can’t manufacture people like me. Maybe you don’t want to. How many Eddie Vedder clones have they marched out? And I’m not a big Vedder fan, but at least he’s Eddie Vedder. You know who he is, you know what he’s about. Okay great, these other people I don’t know what they think. They might be from Mars for all I know.”

A few years ago, onstage during the Smashing Pumpkins 20th Anniversary Tour, Corgan talked about Vedder’s song for the Cubs, “If the Cubs did have a chance this last year that just passed, fuckin’ Eddie Vedder killed that shit dead. Last I checked Eddie ain’t living here, okay? Eddie ain’t living here to write a song about my fuckin’ team.”

    He’s just butthurt because Pearl Jam is better lol

  • Emily said:

    Who fucking cares if you don’t live in the same city as your favorite team? My favorite basketball team are the Oklahoma Thunder. I’m not from Oklahoma, so does that forbid me from writing a song about the Oklahoma Thunder? No. Billy seems to be having too much fun with his dildo collection.

  • Millz said:

    This ain’t gonna be good. PJ fans get super pissed.

  • Anth said:

    I hate to be “that guy” but once again, Brett, I think you’ve isolated what is actually a relatively innocuous statement when taken in context but as a headline encourages the reader to think, “Damn, that Corgan fellow won’t rest until he’s attacked every single famous person who ever existed.” While I wouldn’t go so far as to say he compliments Eddie–he does give him proper credit for being genuine (and coming from Billy, who seems to value a lack of hypocrisy above all else, it is “HIGH PRAISE INDEED!”). The story isn’t that Billy isn’t crazy about Vedder, but that there are so many useless Vedder imitators out there, whereas you won’t find many pseudo-Corgans for one reason or another.

  • Brett (author) said:

    Anth, I added something else to the headline to make it more in context.

  • lala said:

    Billy doesn’t like Eddie but he respects him. No beef here

  • PJ said:

    What the FUCK does CORGAN know!! The man is delusional and jealous!

  • MAYAN CALENDAR 2012 said:

    BILLY CORGAN SHOULD BE LOCKED UP IN A MENTAL INSTITUTION

    AND HAVE JAMES IHA SONGS PLAYING ALL DAY LONG INSIDE BILLYS CELL PAD

    HAHAHA , NOW THATS REAL PUNISHMENT FOR TALKING TRASH ABOUT OTHERS IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

  • Markus said:

    “You can’t manufacture people like me” – yes he is a great artist and a genius. But I know other great artists who are less conceited than Billy Co!
    (i’s not just because of this quote ;-) )

  • Warren said:

    I think Billy should concentrate on writing a decent song… Haven’t heard one from him since 1993…
    Dreadful in Nottingham UK 2008… They were always a poor man’s PJ anyway… with an awful spoonful of GnR….

  • lala said:

    @warren

    yes SP that started in 1987 us ripping off PJ that started in 1990. GENIUS

  • Miff said:

    Not to throw a cat amongst the pigeons here, but how about Silversun Pickups? While they’re a decent band, there’s a load of suggestions that they’re a Smashing Pumpkins clone, from multiple overdubbed fuzz guitar, right down to female bassist and hell, even initials of their name! Hell, compare the guitar riffs from Lazy Eye to Drown! Granted they’ve only so far imitated one of the styles the Pumpkins have played over the years, but still!

  • lala said:

    @Miff

    silversun pickups albums are not strong at all + they are not evolving as a band = nothing like SP at all except for that riff/sound effect thingy

  • Miff said:

    @lala

    No I completely agree, Silversun Pickups can’t hold a candle to the legacy Billy has created for the Pumpkins, and you honestly won’t find anyone more in “camp Pumpkins” than I am, but at the same time there’s not an imitator of Pearl Jam that can hold a candle to their legacy either, and Billy has kind of said that here with his “at least he’s Eddie Vedder” comment. There’s even a comment from him somewhere saying that there’s honour in having competitions in bands like Pearl Jam and Nirvana, over bands like Bush.

  • Ripley said:

    Talk about ego! Billy’s just insecure. I can’t think of many singers who would want to imitate him the way Scott Stapp imitates Vedder. His voice doesn’t have the quality that imitators are looking for. Creed as a band doesn’t imitate PJ as much as Stapp just steals from Eddie. Maybe some bands are ripping off the SP sound, but not Corgan’s voice (because it’s not that great to begin with). People need to separate the two.
    The reason people imitate Vedder more is because he is a better singer.

  • lala said:

    why is this turning into who is better Eddie or Billy thread??? they are both great in different thing. there music is tottaly different and you can’t compare the two

  • lala said:

    and to add … eddie writing that terrible cubs songs is stupid, stupid, stupid and the song is stupid, stupid, stupid. i love eddie but that SUCKED

  • mario said:

    And yet another reason Billy Corgan is an ass!!! His old band mates hate him, he tours as Smashing Pumpkins but it’s him and three other people and even has a female bass player to give the impression that the band is still together… He’s a opportunist more than a musician… Eddie has proven he can sell records with or without Pearl Jam… Billy tried that and no one bought his solo album… Did you even know he had a solo album???? Just STFU Billy…. No one cares!!!

  • lala said:

    @Mario

    go play video games douchebag

    TFE sold 69.000 in US in the first year
    Ukelele songs sold 71.000 US in the first year

    so FUCK you Mario

  • Brett Weir said:

    Ummm, why would anyone want to clone Corgan anyway? Imo he’s done nothing relevant in the last 20 years, and it seems like he takes too many opportunities to bitch about the industry, or crappy bands, or ex-bandmates or any other random meaningless crap that no-one cares about (the cubs song / EV residence thing is pretty weak – I know it’s from a few years ago, but seriously. . . he really said that / cares?)

    People can say he’s being taken out of context, but bottom line is those words are coming out of his mouth & he’s been in the public eye long enough to know how these things work.

    If he wants to get $ out of people maybe he should focus on becoming a little more likable, and not so much on bitching & crying about the state of the industry & all these other factors that are keeping him from succeeding. (the biggest one might be himself)

  • lala said:

    @Brett Weir

    Corgan has done nothing relevant maybe to your grunger ass but EVERY album he released is great and on EVERY album he progressed as an artist and for the last 20 years his doing A+ music your grunger ass could ever understand. song like For Martha, This Time, Cash Car Star, Slow Dawn, For your Love, Black Irish, Dia, Gossamer, Bring the Light, Superchrist, Tarantula, Rose March, 99 Floors, As Rome Burns, Circualar Change, OCEANIA album AND AT LEAST 200 SONGS THAT ARE BETTER THAN THE SHIT YOU LISTEN TO. FUCK GRUNGE

  • Ramon said:

    Someone needs to tell Billy that Ed was born and raised in the Chicago area.

  • Brett Weir said:

    lala, I may not understand Corgan’s progression as an artist, but I do understand basic grammar, and I don’t need to swear or use caps to try to convince others or myself that my subjective opinion is actually a fact.

    I saw SP in ’94 and it was a horrible show. Not only were they bad, but Corgan was also bitching at the crowd the whole time. I have heard nothing from him ever since that inspired me to spend time listening to his work. It turns out 18 years later he’s still bitching. No thanks.
    (for the record, I have heard most of the songs you mentioned. If those are the best, that’s kind of sad)

    You can spend money on Billy Corgan all you want. Personally, I know better.

  • lala said:

    @Brett Weir

    what songs did you hear from the list??? what songs??? you are a liar. you didn’t hear shit. you are a sad liar grunger boy, SAD. go listen to Alive and don’t comment on SP/Billy articles ever. LIAR

  • John said:

    “what songs did you hear from the list??? what songs??? you are a liar. you didn’t hear shit. you are a sad liar grunger boy, SAD. go listen to Alive and don’t comment on SP/Billy articles ever. LIAR”

    And that’s where you’ve exposed yourself as a troll. Or you’re just really, really stupid.

    Listen, hun, I want to give you the number of this great anger management program. It would really benefit everyone on Grunge Report because you’re really hurting everyone’s feelings with these mean “grunger boy” comments.

    As for your knowledge of music in general, well it’s pretty pathetic. You’ve proven that by making mention of the Smashing Pumpkins “riff/sound effect thingy”. I bet you think Mike Byrne is a better drummer than Jimmy Chamberlin, too.

    -John

    PS – Seriously, that anger management deal…look into it. I’m worried about you, LALA.

  • Jorge Delou said:

    Billy can be a great musician and songwriter, but the problem is that he think’s he’s the best one of all times.

    Barely he knows that a guy that plays guitar much simpler than he does is a better songwriter and SPECIALLY a greater singer than he’ll ever be!!!

  • lala said:

    @John

    wow. yeah John great reply. yeah I believe that you listened to the songs I mentioned. LIAR. TROLL. HATER. GRUNGE BOY.

  • Shadow on the sun said:

    Seriously Corgan,just shut up and talk about your own album. Eddie Vedder is what you will never be-loved and respected by peers for being a better musician and person.

  • John said:

    @LALA

    Haha! Now I’m certain that you’re a troll. The Carlos Mencia of trolls at least. This is fun, though, so I’ll play along.

    ‘Liar’ – I don’t know what I’m supposed to be lying about.

    ‘Troll’ – Speak for yourself, sweetheart.

    ‘Hater’ – Not really. If you had read anything I’ve written previously, you’d know that I like the Smashing Pumpkins. So, no, I’m not a hater. I hate you, though, if that counts. I have the entire Smashing Pumpkins discography so I’ve heard all of the songs you’ve mentioned.

    ‘Grunge Boy’ – You do know I listen to more than ‘grunge’ music, too, right? My musical taste is so diverse it would make your pussy hurt.

    Word of advice, assclown, don’t link to your lame twitter page on this site. You should link your facebook while you’re at it.

  • Brett Weir said:

    I happen to like when PJ plays Alive at their concerts. That’s when I take a bathroom / beerstand break. Or if they are closing with it I can leave early & beat the rush.

  • lala said:

    yeah. Vedder is a better person! great argument. still making money out of mother love bone songs he just added lyrics too. yeah Vedder is tottaly better guitarist, … khm wait … ammmm he isn’t

  • jjc19461 said:

    Brett can you ban lala please? I think lala is a “clone” of be. Also it seems Billy is starting to become like courtney love.

  • John said:

    I can almost envision a chubby goth chick named LALA angrily typing some lame insults into the comments as quickly as she can so she can respond everyone here.

  • SuperSG said:

    hahahahahaha ¡¡¡¡¡¡ this lala argument is classic, please continue ¡¡¡¡¡

  • SuperSG said:

    woah if anyone has a right to alter mlb material it would be chris cornell or stone gossard only.

  • SuperSG said:

    i betcha superchrist, although ive never heard it, is a jesus christ pose imitator…

  • mr. general said:

    Who is Billy Corgan? What brought this motherfucker in music? Not know this shit. You are jealous of Eddie Vedder, indeed.

    This guy is a joke. fuck you Billy, come over here and suck my dick.

    EDDIE VEDDER >>>>>> ABYSS >>>>>>> TRASH >>>>>>>>>> BILLY SHIT STUPID CORGAN. :D

  • lala said:

    your precious “ten” is a bunch of mother love bone songs with vedder lyrics. vedder didn’t write those songs. he just added lyrics and he is getting paid from the likes of you to this day. PJ has got so many fans because “ten” or let’s call it “mother love bone songs with vedder lyrics” album. that was heavily marketed because of the “next nirvana” cash cow oppurtunity and you suckers bought the cow.

  • Alice said:

    Know what? I am sick of coming here & pretty much all I see if Billy Corgan & the Smashing Pumpkins.
    :/

  • BonerJam said:

    I hope Billy realizes that he has never released a good album and that he has no talent. All he does is talk shit to musicians that are better that him. Billy is just a jealous and depressed fuck face who doesn’t know how to respect anyone.

  • Calvin McLain said:

    He can say whatever he wants, it just makes him come off ill-informed and otherwise somewhat petty and childish, from Mars, seriously? I’m pretty sure EV has always been a Cubs fan as he did live in Illinois. And I have never heard a song about the Cubs from Corgan anywhere near as classic as Vedder’s. He needs to take this quote to heart: “The Man who speaks most, knows least.”

  • steve said:

    “Eddie Vedder says hes not a big Billy Corgan fan..But then again no one is..”

  • lala said:

    you PJ fans are a bunch of assholes. go listen to Alive.

  • BonerJam said:

    First of all, The Smashing Pumpkins aren’t even a ‘grunge’ band, they are an alternative rock band. So the reason why people hate hearing about this nonsense from Billy Fuckass is because if we wanted to hear all the moronic things he says we’d go to another website that would actually cover this garbage news. We are expecting news from bands that fit the genre known as ‘grunge’.

  • Chris said:

    I’m tired of billy corgan. Pearl jam know how to rock. Corgans whole album
    Is synth pop with the exception of like 3 songs, and he just seems like
    Such a jealous prick now days. All he does is complain about how good
    he used to be and that he should get more recognition. For the record
    who would want to sound like corgan anyways? He used to sound like
    a chick now he sounds like a nasal asshole. I don’t think I’ve ever heard
    anybody from pearl jam bitch and moan on a daily basis? I don’t think
    anybody has… I can’t believe I was such a huge sp fan.. Now I can’t even
    really take them seriously anymore. I don’t feel like they’re about the
    Music anymore. I’d respect them a lot more if they played under a different
    Name..

  • Chris said:

    Sorry about all that funky spacing.. Wrote it on my phone..

  • lala said:

    “grunge” is a marketing term from the two guys from SupPop that made bands that sound nothing alike dress in flanel, so “grunge” music isn’t real. “grunge” is just a marketing trick for people with no brain. nirvana = punk rock; AiC = hard rock; SG = classic rock; got it?

  • lala said:

    Chris you are an asshole

  • MAYAN CALENDAR 2012 said:

    You know whats funny about the Chicago rock music scene and the state of Illionis? :)

    4 famous guys came from Chicago and Illionis

    1) Billy Corgan ( Smashing Pumpkins )
    2) Eddie Vedder ( Pearl Jam )
    3) Tom Morello ( Rage Against The Machine / Audioslave )
    4) Kim Thyaill ( Soundgarden )
    5) Jimmy Chamberlain ( Smashing Pumpkins )

    If only these 5 people got together !
    Can you imagine what kind of 1990s grunge rock band that would become?

    Rage Against Smashing Jams

    1) Billy Corgan ( Second Vocals – Bass Guitar )
    2) Eddie Vedder ( Lead Vocals – Guitar )
    3) Tom Morello ( Lead Guitar )
    4) Kim Thyaill ( Second Lead Guitar )
    5) Jimmy Chamberlain ( Drums )

    :) Enjoy

    @John: That’s an insult to chubby goth chicks.

  • Anth said:

    Thanks Brett–alas, it seems like a moot point, as it turns out that people are still just jumping on the Billy vs. Eddie debate…so sorry about that.

    Re: Silversun Pickups, I don’t really see them as Pumpkins imitators. Influenced by the Gish/SD era, certainly, but I think they’re doing their own thing. Actually I wish they would take more of a page from the Pumpkins playbook, because I think they’ve become pretty static and predictable. I like their first two albums but “Bloody Mary” has got to be one of the dullest songs I’ve ever heard. Even Pumpkins critics agree that the sound constantly shifted (for better or worse).

  • MAYAN CALENDAR 2012 said:

    I always confused Silversun Pickups with a band called Wilco :) I guess psychedelic guitar driven rock bands all sound the same after a while
    much like the Smashing Pumpkins were influenced by the Cars and Black Sabbath and David Bowie

  • Iso said:

    From now on Mayan Calendar wishes to be called “The Bukkake Kid”. Jackhammer to your asshole Mayan.

  • dakotablue said:

    hey, I like Silversun Pickups. So feel free to hate on me.
    And lala, maybe you ought to start your own site. You seem to have lots and lots and lots to say and love to school people. So what about Ten being MLB melodies? Vedder’s voice is great and many other bands have done the same.

  • Zach said:

    No one cares about Billy Corgan. He’s a washed-up, bald, loser fag. And btw, his music is complete shit compared to Pearl Jam’s.

  • Craigory52 said:

    I really don’t care for Billy’s opinions on Vedder as I am a bigger Pearl Jam fan than Pumpkins even though I still like them. I just knew I was going to come to this article and see a shitload of comments.

  • BlownUpWorld said:

    There’s a whole lotta hatin’ going on here huh? WTF?!?

  • GenXLady said:

    Why does Billy feel the need to critique every band and/or musician on some sort of Billy made litmus test?

  • jjc19461 said:

    Why can’t we all just agree that both bands have great songs/albums, Pearl Jam – Ten, VS, Vitalogy, even some songs off of No Code and Yield!

    Smashing Pumpkins- Gish, Siamese Dream, Melon Colly, and.. thats pretty much it.

  • Iso said:

    Watch the teeth on that dick, Mayan Calendar. Easy does it!

  • wasogrunge said:

    can Billy Corgan actually sing in the first place? he’s perhaps the most over rated artist from the 90′s. fuck him ,and fuck him good.

  • Rem said:

    I think you are all being irrational and a bunch of dumbasses. All Mr. Corgan stated was that he didn’t particularly like Mr. Vedder but also that he respected him. I don’t like most metal music but I respect the musicians. Does that make me an asshole because I have a preference? I have a preference in people too so does everyone else. I think we all need to quit being so sensitive about what Mr. Corgan states and also quit stating OUR opinions as fact.

  • xxdcxx said:

    LoL please all keep posting this is great for LoL.
    Billy is even LoL at the comments as he loves watching people get worked up over HIM,

    LoL tears from LoL

  • AKT2 said:

    Billy is not diplomatic,I don’t really listen to him or PJ.Both are talented in their own right but I will agree with Billy because I think his real point is that no one innovates anymore.Alt rock,Grunge,Classic rock.Who cares?!I just want good music.You can rehash old stuff all day long and I’m fine with that too.Point is is music has become overly commercial and not as creative.This is not an insult to anyones favorite band just an opinion of the way the music world has gone.

    Just came to work to read all of this jibberish….love it. I mean ppl need to realise that Billy Co. has always been a drama queen. He loves attention he loves talking shit to spice it all up for the sake of pissing ppl off. Yep, thats the person he is, and theres no need to have clones like himself marching out. I do not know any decent person who would love to imitate a douchebag Billy Corgan. Althou, give him some props, 1) hes a part of the family and as we all know theres gotta be at least one retard baby and thats him 2) he can write some decent music too back it all up, not like Courtney Love and 3) Hes doing it on purpose, sorta creating a buzz a new wave sorta speak like it was back in very early 90s.

  • lala said:

    PJ’s Ten album are a bunch of Mother Love Bone songs, PJ was huge because of the cash cow marketing trick that was “the next nirvana band”, “grunge” was a marketing trick by the two guys from SupPop that dressed bands that sound nothig alike into flanel. “grunge” music doesn’t exist and never did. LOL to all of you for not knowing that.

  • Yield73 said:

    I like the music of both, EV and Corgan, hey BC, stop talking so much about other people, this is so lame, better use the power to write new songs! For example Eddie’s joining so much music and also benefit- projekts, and you BC, you cry about the old SP-times and talk shit about the others, move on man, and be gentle, better make music than blabla………..!

  • Lala's Boy xx said:

    Stop hating on SP and judging them on songs like ‘rat in the cage’ and ‘killer is you’, they’ve got much better songs like ‘widow wake my mind’, ‘spangled’ and ‘owata’… I’d love to see your precious bedded try and write anything as deep and moving as those songs.

  • Lala's Boy xx said:

    Precious eddie that was supposed to say but yeah the point is stop judging Billy on his early work he has progressed SO much as a writer and right now is a great time to be an SP fan AND after making an album as good as Oceania and the teargatden songs he can say what the fuck he likes about anyone! PJ was one goo d allbum and then a snoozefest of generic songs and a pop album in the form of backspaces, Billy should teach him how to rock!

  • Lala's Boy xx said:

    Siamese dreams was average, check out the new stuff like ‘owata’ and ‘widow wake my mind’ and then judge. Billy evolves so much with each new album.

    Alan (LaLa’s boy) & LaLa x

  • SuperSG said:

    that was directed towards Billy’s comment.

  • SuperSG said:

    yes he does alter his output and direction but so does SG and PJ and any surviving, talented, not pop/talentless musician-band.

  • Lala's Boy xx said:

    No but my point is that Billy continues to write catchy songs like ‘widow wake my mind’ and ‘owata’ that do well on radio whereas PJ and SG for the most part release generic dirge, I couldn’t even name one song off riot act it was so forgettable and now SG and PJ realise this and try to write catchy stuff like ‘we live to rise’ and the whole backspaces album but they were both FAIL! Billy writes relevant music that fits right in on rock radio.

  • x2x said:

    I am not a troll and I am not trying to be an asshole or anything, but I think it is a legit question. He was obviously abused (which doesn’t make him gay). But afterwords he moved to Florida, dressed in drag (which he continued to do for many years), almost fucked a tranny, and in a couple articles its said he always had a hard time accepting that he was born a male. He is often catty and was in a band with other possibly gay males (and friends with confirmed gays). He’s admitted to almost killing himself from a deep depression ( which many gay people do when they don’t want to accept that they are gay). It just seems like a lot of things could point to that he is a gay male, but not willing to accept it

    so why is it that pearl jam is still selling out stadiums and smashing pumpkins are having trouble filling theaters? about 85% of people who go to sp shows are expecting to hear today, disarm, bullet with butterfly wings, and cherub rock, half the time they dont even hear them and are left bummed. if corgan is so bitter about playing old songs then he needs to change his band’s name! he’s almost as bad as axl rose. he needs to keep the name smashing pumpkins or he won’t sell anything or wont even sell out clubs. and for those of you who try to talk all that shit about pearl jam and their only good album being ten. guess what: who has the fastest selling album in Amerca EVER????? Pearl Jam does. and who has the SECOND fastest selling album in America EVER???? Pearl Jam. Where’s BIlly COrgan?? he’s getting interviewed right now bitching about how he doesn’t get any recognition. If he continues to release great music, then he will get the recognition he deserves. It’s that simple. Corgan still has potential, a COUPLE songs on Oceania and A song for a son proves it. But Pearl Jam will always be better than the Billy Corgan band.

    However, I will admit Lala’s boy calling Mike McCready gayboy was hilarious although I’ll say I dont think he’s gay at all x) and i think that gay thing was billy

    I am a huge Pearl Jam fan especially when it comes to their later stuff like Yield ,Binaural, Riot ACT, Pearl Jam Pearl Jam, and 2009′s Backspacer. I’m also learning more about the Smashing Pumpkins because of their new album that just came out.But it is a shame and a downright holier than thou lie when people make fun of Billy Corgan for having a mental illness or whatever. What if Billy Corgan does truly have a mental illness? Does this automatically make him a nut? I mean small minded immoral people ganged up on JESUS CHRIST in the Bible, and also called HIM a nut. So I guess Billy is in pretty good company since a bunch of hypocrites called CHRIST a nut when they were really making fun of themselves. Billy should move to England because England accepts eccentrics way more than America does. If people knew the truth about mental illness, they would not make fun of the mentally ill. Small minded prejudiced gossipy people are the ones that are the nuts, and the ones who are dangerous according to the real truth about what mental illness really is. Don’t believe profilers and the media when it comes to the mentally ill. They lie about this subject almost every time, and more than most people believe these lies, and then put an overwhelming prejudiced stigma against the mentally ill and mental health. I believe in what the Bible teaches. If we study the mind of Christ, then we all have psychological disorders, and nobody has the room to talk.

  • SuperSG said:

    dude. chill. out. i have a mental illness ( though not dibilitating or terminal or major), its not that bad. and people NEED people with something wrong with themselves, so that those who laugh and point fingers may feel better about themselves for 2 fucking wonderful minutes. Then those who laugh can return to thier own pains and sorrows and defects.

  • Timothy said:

    Hey Super G, I have a mental illness too. Your response is right on and I do need to lighten up. Your response shows that people who are prejudiced against us don’t count anyway.Thanks.

  • John Rose said:

    all of you people that are mad at Corgan for saying what he did about Vedder are ignorant….

    I’m 34 and pearl jam has been my favorite band since I was 13 ….

    I’m am deeply religious and I have major differences with Vedders view of world politics and religious matters but I respect him sincerely because he’ is genuine ,honest and real…..there’s no guess work with him and I respect that….a man doesn’t have to agree with me on my personel beliefs for me to respect him

    Eddie Vedder is raw, emotional and his lyrics are from his heart….. from that vantage point he is a kindred spirit
