It seems that Billy Corgan isn’t a fan of Radiohead. The Smashing Pumpkins frontman says that he’s upset that some people consider Radiohead’s contribution to rock music to be more important than that of Deep Purple/Rainbow guitarist Ritchie Blackmore.
“I'll piss on f**king Radiohead, because of all this pomposity,” Corgan tells Antiquiet.com. “This value system that says [guitarist] Jonny Greenwood is more valuable than Ritchie Blackmore. Not in the world I grew up in."
Corgan added that that the very idea of putting one artist’s contribution to music above another bothers him as well. “Have we all made contributions?” asks Corgan. “Yes. I'm not attacking that. I'm attacking the pomposity that says this is more valuable than that. I'm so f**king sick of it, and nobody seems to tire of it."
If you’d like to hear The Pumpkins’ latest contribution to rock music, Oceania, then you’re in luck. The band has just announced that they’ve posted a stream of every song from the new album on iTunes where it'll remain from now until the album's release date on June 19.
