Ringo Says Fuck Off 7: Billy Corgan
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 9 January 2009
So, it’s a new year and we have more stories involving you, our much loved readers, being told to fuck off by musicians. This week sees the second appearance of The Smashing Pumpkins. Although, this time it’s a solo effort – James Iha had Marilyn Manson bassist Twiggy Ramirez to back him up.
A reader writes: “I was 19 (31 now, you do the maths) and my friend was one of the tour managers for the Smashing Pumpkins. We jumped on the bus to the Brixton Academy with James Iha and Jimmy Chamerlain, while D’arcy and Billy went ahead in a car – they never really mixed with everyone else. Anyway, the gig was great and back stage I saw Billy talking to a group of about five people and I just walked up and said ‘that was one of the best gigs I have ever seen’. He replied, ‘Blah blah blah fuck off'”.
