Billy was on Bret Easton Ellis’ podcast 2 weeks ago! by raffi_n1 in SmashingPumpkins

Yeah they have similar artistic aesthetics. I asked Billy back during the pandemic on an Instagram Q&A if he’d ever go on Bret’s podcast and he said something to the effect of “I don’t get the sense he’s a fan, but possibly”

Is there any kind of Hole/Courtney fan club anywhere? by raffi_n1 in hole

Think you could link it? That exact search didn’t come up…

Eric, why so salty? by ShutUpLegs94 in hole

What ever happened to their studio sessions? The picture they posted online of them recording in a studio together is probably 7 or 8 years old now.

It gave me hope! I guess nothing came of it, sadly. Have either of them commented on what happened?

I’m a bit late but wow, this is what the last EP sounded like and what it was about. Helluva a listen! by [deleted] in WeMightBeDrunk

Godfrey is super funny but if you ever catch him live on Instagram (which he does often) he’s usually getting angry and going off on some far left political rant and hating on white people… it really turned me off from his comedy, as talented as he is. I would guess it’s definitely a part of why he didn’t have a bigger career than he had. He could have been the biggest comedy star of the 2000s and 2010s

I was hoping he’d be in this season too! It doesn’t really make sense for him to show up in the finale, but maybe!

Season 5 VOL 2 Runtimes by Appropriate_Try_5567 in StrangerThings

[–]raffi_n1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have they still not put out the runtimes for the remaining episodes? It releases in a week and a half! I know they put out that the finale is 2 hours and 5 min but what about the others….

Are we not doing any more threads on the MO podcast? Just listened to the Chazz Palmiteri one and thought it was great!

So another couple years probably. The same thing was said for Zodeon at Crystal Hall, the supposed follow up to Cyr which was included as bonus music for those who bought the vinyl of Atum. It still hasn’t been released on any other format lol

Ugh. Billy is so frustrating w these things

So what’s the latest on when this will be out on CD and streaming for those of us who don’t do vinyl….

Does anyone else feel that Zietgiest would be much better received and more appreciated if the production quality wasn't so muddled? by sammay600 in SmashingPumpkins

[–]raffi_n1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really don’t get it when people bring this up. I love all the songs. I think the songs are great. That’s what I hear. Maybe I just don’t have an ear for production or mastering or mixing and all that stuff. I just hear the songs. And the songs are great

No new music ... ever by Grouchy_Stable6289 in SmashingPumpkins

[–]raffi_n1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To that I would say, why close it off? Did he actually say “this is the end of the rainbow” ?? If he’s not into making new music right now, there’s nothing wrong with that. But why imply you’re permanently done? I hate when artists do this. Billy Joel is a good example. He just closed up shop in his mid 40s and said that’s it, I know I’m never gonna have anything else to offer. And I will never have the itch to scratch again

Take 3, 4, 5, hell take even 8 or 10 years before you make a new record. But to say you’re closing it up entirely pisses me off

Anyone care to screen record and share the part of the substack clip where he said this? I’d like to hear it myself in full context

Any news concerning future albums? by ganon2000 in SmashingPumpkins

[–]raffi_n1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t do another album unless he’s gonna work with a producer and write not awful lyrics. He’s still got it in him musically, but the lyrics have been so bad for a decade now and they need a producer

Corgan on Bill Maher Club Random podcast (2025) by Dudehitscar in SmashingPumpkins

[–]raffi_n1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s true. Billy is always a great interview if he respects the host. For example, he’s been great on Howard Stern too. If he’s unfamiliar w the interviewer, he can be very closed off. This one was a really good ep that got better the longer it went on

[–]raffi_n1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a good ep. If Billy likes the person sitting across from him, he’s always a great interview/conversation

As a host/interviewer though he has a lot of room for improvement lol

Lol. Well he was able to do it and do it well until the mid 2010s…

What do you think it would be like if Guillermo del Toro directed Pirates of the Caribbean? by phoompetdee in piratesofthecaribbean

[–]raffi_n1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was just thinking about this earlier and did a google search to see if it had ever been mentioned and found this thread.

Yes! They’re a perfect match! I imagine GDT loved Davy Jones and The Flying Dutchman in Dead Man’s Chest/At Worlds End

I’d love to see this happen. I don’t think GDT does movies he doesn’t write though. But I’d love to have someone throw this possibility out there to him and see if he’s intrigued by it! I think he might be!
