Andy: Billy Corgan: Oh, yeah, Jimmy, the original Smashing Pumpkins drummer and I parted ways, I guess it would have been around February of last year? Uhm, you know, I haven’t really spoken much on it publicly, because when you have a long relationship, and my relationship with Jimmy goes back to 1988, and we’ve parted ways now three times, uh, it’s complicated, there’s no real one-sentence answer. Uh, but…to not…to be…to not be disingenuous and try to avoid the question, I’ll try to answer the question. I think there comes a point where, you know, I’ve always been the person in the band through my songwriting and through my sense of things, to choose what I think is the best direction moving forward, and of course not everybody in the band always agrees. And I thought we had reached a point where we saw things in a different direction and I just couldn’t believe that at the age that we were at at that point, which I would have been 42, and he would have been 45, that we were still having this kind of disagreement about what the future of the band was. And to me then it became simple, it was nothing I was going to fight over. He’s doing what he wants to do, he’s got a solo band now, I think the band’s called “This,” and so I’d encourage everyone to listen to it. He’s an incredible musician. It’s ah – you know, not all band members live in reality. And I live in reality. The reality that we live in today as musicians in the public sphere is a very complicated reality, and I’m very determined to move the band forward into the future with new music. I’m not interested in being an oldies act. I’m not interested in just sort of taking money to…to pay my bills. I’m very much an artist to always be an artist, and that’s served me well, so ah – he was going in a different direction, was sort of thinking, like it was time to shut things down and kind of make it more simple for people to understand, i.e., become basically an oldies act, and I’m sorry, I just…I don’t see the Smashing Pumpkins ever being an oldies act. I don’t care if I’m 80, I’ll still be trying to write new songs. http://blog.hipstersunited.com/2010/11/04/on-radio-call-in-show-corgan-addresses-split-with-chamberlin/
