'''Bob English''' was a long time friend of [[Billy Corgan]]'s who served as his guitar tech for the first few years of [[The Smashing Pumpkins]]' | '''Bob English''' was a long time friend of [[Billy Corgan]]'s who served as his guitar tech for the first few years of [[The Smashing Pumpkins]]' existence and was credited, at least by [[James Iha]] and [[D'arcy Wretzky]], as coming up with the band's name.<ref>https://www.starla.org/articles/dares.htm</ref> Not much is known about English, though he was also Corgan's roommate during (at a minimum) the writing of [[Siamese Dream|''Siamese Dream'']]. English and Corgan had a falling out somewhere near the end of the [[Rock_Invasion_tour|''Rock Invasion'' tour]] and Corgan has generally spoken disparagingly of him since then. | ||
