Banter
MC: The first time I heard this band live was a broadcast on 93 XRT. That day, that day the band had some bad things to say about what had been written about them in the Sun Times. Let me just tell you what was said in the Sun Times today: 'Chicago's Smashing Pumpkins debuted on Billboard's Top 200 albums charts last week at number 10 with a bullet, making it the most successful rock release from Chicago since the days of Survivor' Iha: since the days of Survivor? MC: Chicago, Illinois soon to be known internationally as the rock 'n' roll capital of the world, and it's because of Metro and it's because of Smashing Pumpkins! Corgan: Whoooo! Rocket Corgan: Hello. We're so glad you could come Quiet Today Wretzky: Hi Soma I Am One Corgan: Hi. 'Strutter', 'Deuce', 'Cold Gin' Iha: what do all these songs have in common, people? Fuckin' Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons! We co-wrote this fucker with those guys Disarm Geek U.S.A. Corgan: Shhhhh! Don't you wanna hear the pretty song? Hey, sorry. We don't play punk rock, I'm sorry Rhinoceros Corgan [in German accent]: We are going to play what we want to play, I'm sorry Cherub Rock Wretzky: I don't know what to say. We've been on tour for two weeks and we've used up all our jokes already, so... sorry Starla Audience member: [during Starla] Freebird! Corgan: Yeah, you can go suck my dick. Starla continues and ends Not Worth Asking (tease) Corgan: Yeah, whatever than chord is Iha: Yes. We've reached that low point in the set where we need to rejuvenate, tell a bad joke, rock you harder than we possibly can Corgan: Anybody wanna hear 'Hummer'.. Hummer, Hummer? Hummer, Hummer, Hummer? Hummer Corgan: What do you wanna hear? What? I can't hear you Iha: Yeah Siva Corgan: Yeah! Yeah! Iha: This next song is 'Matt's Theme'... alright, I'll play 'Teen Spirit' Smells Like Teen Spirit (tease) Corgan: Hello, hello? I got no monitors but.. Iha: I know we're not as good as Pearl Jam, the greatest band of all Corgan: Hello, hello? Iha: So, way back when... Corgan: Hello? Can you hear me? You can hear me? Hi. As far I'm concerned fuck Seattle. Let's hear it for the ununified Chicago music scene! Nobody sounds alike but it's great. We all sound like we do different drugs which is kinda cool I think Drown Corgan: It's a crystal, it brings you magic powers Iha: Wow I can fe-fe-feel it, it's really weird Corgan: Yeah, the crystal it brings you magic powers Iha: Really? What happens? Corgan: You get more cable channels Iha: Wow Corgan: This is our dedication to the former Soviet Union and all satanic cults and whatever else is wrong with the world. Wait, be quiet for a second, I've a song to begin Silverfuck Somewhere Over the Rainbow (tease) Jackboot (tease) Star Spangled Banner
