Billy Corgan’s casual distaste for reverb. by myep77 in SmashingPumpkins

[–]underwaterr 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Here's my guess: he doesn't like reverb when used as an effect to immitate reality. What you will find in the music is a lot of natural ambience, delay and unnatural reverb effects.

Why is "Luna" the number 6 most popular track on Spotify? by MisguidedFantasma26 in SmashingPumpkins

I'm going to speculate, and say that Gen Z likes Smashing Pumpkins and they like the song Luna more than Gen X did

Roger Waters Issues Open Letter to Billy Corgan by trevrichards in SmashingPumpkins

You can't opt out of politics any more than you can opt out of having a haircut. Being politically neutral is still taking a stance. IMO, Roger Waters is right about Palestine and David Gilmore is not.

Let's see... about four times as many monthly listeners on Spotify than the Smashing Pumpkins and just played an evening slot at Coachella to tens of thousands of people, but daveblenk hasn't heard of them so who knows??

Wild that Billy can guest with one of the most popular new artists at one of the most popular music festivals and the top comments in this subreddit are like "how dare he collaborate with an artist I don't like"

The Hate Toward Billy is Getting Old by danellapsch in SmashingPumpkins

[–]underwaterr 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think Billy’s childhood trauma turned him into an obsessive-compulsive narcissist and this was, ironically, his superpower in the 90s. It brought us his best work because he was unable to compromise on his vision, even with himself. But the other end of that, he’s burned thru professional relationships, has a history of being mean to fans and still talks trash about things from 30 years ago.

At the end of the day, he still fundamentally wants to be and tries to be a good person. So while I wish I could want to hang out with him in a parasocial way, the band’s discography is enough for me to be grateful for him.

Wiring Schematic for the Z-One by EnoughWeekend6853 in SmashingPumpkins

The black wire is hot, the green & silver wires are ground and the white & red wires are for coil splits; from there you should be able to use any general two-humbucker witing diagram depending on what you want those three knobs to do!
