Billy Corgan

Rich Rath.

He calls you, hey, come back.

What's your first reaction?

You must be thinking, ah.

But he was more of like a singer-songwriter guy, right?

Good-looking guy too, right?

You don't strike me as a bitter person, but what did you think of their musical output in the time that you were gone?

The album that you were on before you got fired, 2, REO 2, you know, you certainly hear the successful, it's almost like, it's hard to put it this way, but let's call it the successful REO rock album.

architecture with you singing like i can hear that then but then when you come back and it's keep on pushing it's like that's the band that i heard growing up okay like it's like all of a sudden it just all snaps into place could you feel that yeah yeah it was it was a big change and i think for i think the biggest thing for me was i was i wasn't the new guy anymore

Okay.

Did you negotiate anything coming out?

I'm not talking about money.

I'm talking about...

Just, I'm back and let's just move on.

I love how bands somehow... Bands are the weirdest.

Sure.

Yeah.

I love this quote, and tell me if it's not accurate, because sometimes I tell people quotes that I find, like, I didn't say that.

We play for free, but we get paid for traveling.

It's certainly true.
