BILLY CORGAN’S GREATEST QUOTES OF ALL TIME

By: 17 March 2013 19 Comments

In honor of Billy Corgan’s birthday, GrungeReport.net brings you a list of BillCo’s wittiest quotes.  #Billy46

“Jimmy [Chamberlin] is a destructive human being, and people who are destructive break things,”

“Iha is only interested in the release of any of his songs, and getting paid/laid.”

“James Iha I think is just a piece of shit.”

“[James Iha] is one of the worst human beings Ive ever met in my life.

“We released a song by Iha called ‘Krapola,’ just kidding.”

“Can we be safe, can I invite James Iha back over to my house and beg his forgiveness for him being an asshole?  You know what I mean?  [Sarcastically] I could.  He’s playing in a band with my former guitar tech that’s what he’s doing.”

“Do I belong in the conversation about the best artists in the world? My answer is yes, I do.”

“If I could legally kill people, it would be hipsters.”

“You give me a fucking kazoo and I’ll write you a good song.”

“Me picking on Soundgarden is a headline? Seriously? . . . That’s desperateland, that’s desperateland.”

“Cornell’s one of those people who is extremely talented, I was a fan from literally their 2nd EP, met him in 1991 and still believe in what was great about the band.  But when we’re sitting there having conversations about who is doing what, I am no longer going to shield somebody, if they want to punch me in the face I’m happy to punch them back in the face.  Respect the man’s talent, People gloss over the Timbaland album, haha, you know what I mean?  My point is look, I don’t have any specific bone to pick, even though I just made a specific case for one.  My point is don’t lump us in with people who are sort of just doing the reunion lap.”

  • Shoegazer said:

    Happy birthday to one of the select few from his era who still makes great music.

  • Justin said:

    If you guys hate billy, stop fucking posting shit about him. You look immature and unprofessional. You’re a news site not an anti Billy Corgan site. If you want to hate on billy make a whole different website for that but don’t do it here because you lose fans and it makes you look like an asshole. You guys were probably still sucking on your moms tits when he was releasing hits, how about we get some well opinions people who actually lived the 90s as a teen or adult instead of having you cum guzzling ass run this place. A fucking cow can run this site better.

    And mike, go fuckin kill yourself. You’re a shit news person and billy doesn’t give a shit about his baldness or looks. That why a lot of people like him, he doesn’t follow a Trend or worry about fitting in. So in conclusion, kill yourself you miserable lonley horse shit

  • Paul Kneitz said:

    I remember when this was a news site.

  • Justin said:

    Yeah Paul now it’s just some assholes posting dumb shit

  • Raj said:

    Wow, he hates Iha as bad as Axl hates Slash. No wonder Billy and Axl are the only remaining members of their bands.

  • Brett Buchanan said:

    We’re actually big fans of Billy. We find a lot of humor though in what he says though and the way people react to stories about him.

    Paul, there was little to no news today so we decided to go with #Billy46. It was either that or little to no stories.

  • Justin said:

    Big fans of Billy? Hmm, you show that in a pretty strange way.

  • Justin said:

    You seem to report only the bad stuff about him

  • Brett Buchanan said:

    Top 10 Underrated Corgan songs, highly positive review of Oceania, positive reviews of Oceania tour shows. We do post Billy’s sarcastic quotes and shots at people, but that’s him saying it, so we run with it and have fun with it.

  • SuperSG said:

    I think billy is funny as all hell

  • Paul Kneitz said:

    Slow news day is one thing, but “MAGIC MIKE MAZZARONE’S BIRTHDAY POEM TO BILLY CORGAN” is ridiculous.

  • Alternadude said:

    It never is more fun around here when SP/BC is covered. Long live Billy.

  • Brett Buchanan said:

    I don’t think it’s any sillier than the lyrics to Been Away Too Long or Widow Wake My Mind.

  • Tastes Grungey said:

    Other (better) BC quotes:

    “I’m not going to die glamorously. I’ll probably be eating a Twinkie, take a bite, and fall over.”

    “Say you write a song about a chandelier, and the chandelier gives off light. And the light is the color red and red reminds you of the color your not supposed to wear around a bull. So you name the song Cow.”

    “In a weird kind of way, music has afforded me an idealism and perfectionism that I could never attain as me.”

    “For a 6-foot-3 guy with no hair and a whiny voice, I’ve done alright.”

  • Fingerfuck said:

    Why don’t you just sit on his dick if you love him so much?
