Ex-Pumpkins Frontman Starts Solo Album |

Former Smashing Pumpkins guitarist Billy Corgan says his first solo album will be "loud and beautiful and poetic and dumb."
The frontman, who last September split with Zwan - the band he created after Smashing Pumpkins disbanded - has told his official website billycorgan.com, that he has started work on the album.
He said: "I am starting over from such a fresh perspective that there is nothing to rely on but my good name. I am being honest when I say I am ready for that and love the challenge and relish the mustard.
"I am excited to work on this music, because for the first time in my life it will be my tunes with no compromises to anyone or anything. It's gonna be loud and beautiful and poetic and dumb. Just the way I like it. "We started a few days ago (the 15th) to get it together for my first solo album," he added. "Some would argue that it's not my first, and I wouldn't argue with you there."

: Corgan needs to never stop because he is a gifted writer. Labels kind of annoy me in general. Grunge this, nu metal that. I have two categories for music. Good (Smashing Pumpkins, Deftones, Incubus etc.) and bad (Limp Bizkit, Trapt, Simple Plan etc.)POSTED: 02/03/2004 - 10:46 pm / quote |

: Pumpkinkage. Thank you.
And I'm confused, too. Why don't they just have a Pumpkins reunion and say it's a solo album? sell more records.POSTED: 05/07/2004 - 10:21 pm / quote |

: Since when were the pumpkins considered grunge, kooldonuts? Besides, some more Corgan-esque music is just what the world needs!
And Pumpkinage, I agree whole-heartedly! Labels suck! People need to worry less about a bands label, and more about the music.... or have we forgotten about the actual "music"? Anyway, the pumpkins could never be labelled - they're too diverse, and that's what i love about them (songs for every mood)POSTED: 03/20/2005 - 09:01 am / quote |

I agree. I listen to Bullet With Butterfly Wings when I'm angry, Disarm when I'm sad..... I love the Pumpkins.POSTED: 10/06/2005 - 02:46 am / quote |
