[[Billy Corgan]] estimates that during this era, he spent more time with Thorsrud in the studio than he did with other band members. He considered Thorsrud as part of his own family, and there was even a Christmas holiday or two shared between only the two of them, as they had no one else to spend Christmas with.<ref name=":0">Billy Corgan.
