Know Your Enemy

"There are those bands that are essentially coming back only to make money – playing their old albums, and maybe somewhere in the back of their minds they're thinking there might be a future. I am not in that business, obviously. I condemn anybody who’s in that business but doesn’t admit he’s in that business. When Soundgarden came back and they just played their old songs, great. I was a fan of Soundgarden, but call it for what it is. They’re just out there to have one more round at the till; same with Pavement and these other bands."

Billy Corgan's at it again. Perhaps he should stop and question whether people really want to hear his new material (and let's face it, it's very much his rather than Smashing Pumpkins') or whether they'd actually be much happier with hearing nothing whatsoever post-Mellon Collie.
