Years and years and years after Pavement had the last word on Smashing Pumkins after Billy Corgan had em ditched off a tour (“they don’t have a function, I don’t understand what they mean and I could really give a fuck”), the two bands find themselves on the same bill in Brazil and this is what Billy had to say.
“Pavement represent the death of the alternative dream, and we follow with the affirmation of life part… Funny how those who pointed the big finger of ‘sell out’ are the biggest offenders now… yawn. they have no love… by the way, we’ll be the band up there playing NEW songs because we have the love xx.”
Yawn indeed.
I have no horse in this race. Pavement were alright nothing great at Central Park and i wouldn’t download Billy’s new material for free.
