BILLY CORGAN SAYS HE ‘DOESN’T HAVE A LOT OF BODY HAIR,’ NEXT SMASHING PUMPKINS ALBUM COULD BE A CLASSIC

By: 10 January 2013 12 Comments

Matt Pinfield interviewed Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan on MTV’s Hivecast recently. As the interview started Corgan and Pinfield joked about being bald, BillCo sarcastically said, “You can’t see under this hat but I’m growing a full prop of hair, you’ll see.” He elaborated by talking about his overall lack of body hair, “My father used to tell me, Corgans is a species, you know we don’t have a lot of body hair, I don’t know if people really want to know that. But he used to tell me it’s because we’re more evolved than other humans.”

BillCo also discussed the positive response to Oceania setting up the band for even more with the next album, “Now that the door is open to people being open to what we’re going to do, now this is a real opportunity to come with a classic album.”

    The Pumpkins always release something worthwhile. Looking forward to the next one.

  • Eu said:

    Why don’t they release another album in 2013, like Garbage and No Doubt are supposed to do?

  • Is he one? said:

    This next album is making me SO excited. Could be the best album since 2000, I wouldn’t even be surprised. Oceania is top 3 overall in the new millenium IMO.

    Go BC, go SP! Most exciting band/new music out there.

    Another new album soon would be freaking awesome… so would an acknowledgement by BC that he has an ego problem and can be a total dick to his peers… but that would require sincere humility on his part, which he seems to pretty much completely lack. I keep waiting to see what ridiculous bullshit he says in his new interviews… really wish he wasn’t like that, cuz I love his work…

  • Is he one? said:

    Enough enough.

  • enough said:

  • Raj said:

    Billy with the long hair was cool, but Billy with the black hair was even better. Never cared for his bald look, grow it back if you can!
