Geek USA Corgan: Thank you Quiet Iha: Hello Wretzky: You're all so far away. We're not used to playing shows in these big halls, it's weird Today Iha: Thank you. This being the big rock festival that it is, we hope we can rock you... like no other band knows I Am One Iha: This is the first [unintelligible] sell out tour and we're really slow so.. just keep moshing about and rockin' out there while we tune. I don't know if, you probably can't understand a word of what I'm saying but I was talking about the grand recluse spider Spaceboy Rocket Corgan: So thank you all for coming, it's a beautiful night, no rain. Glad you're all here. Detroit fuckin' rocks! This is an awesome place to play Iha: Paul Stanley wishes he could play here Corgan: Who? Iha: Paul Stanley of Kiss Corgan: Paul Stanley? Isn't he dead? Iha: No man, he's right out there with you. Paul Stanley's out there with you tonight people Corgan: You mean Paul Stanley from Kiss is out there is the audience? Iha: That's right, Paul Stanley from fuckin' Kiss is out there tonight Corgan: Look around, where is he? Raise your hand Paul... there he is, no, no... Iha: Fuckin' Paul's out there, I can feel it Cherub Rock Corgan: Is everyone having a good time? We wouldn't wanna bum your trip.

Iha: Yeah [over intro] And now I will do an interpretative dance to his guitar Starla Disarm Corgan: Why do you wanna hear old songs?.. but I don't wanna play old songs. We're not the fuckin' Beach Boys you know. OK, 'California Girls' and 'Fun Fun Fun', and I know... I know, fuck the Beach Boys. So what do you wanna hear? Iha: They wanna hear the old songs, man Corgan: Altogether now Iha: Alright, let's have one shout of one song - 1,2,3 [random shouts] Iha: Yeah we know that one, we ain't playin' that one Drown Iha: Man these goggles are really fuckin' cool Corgan: Is this a good concert? huh huh? Are we rocking you with our sounds? Wretzky: This is so ridiculous, you guys are gonna throw shoes, throw PAIRS of shoes. We have four shoes up here, none of them match Corgan: Just what I want, throw more shoes, thanks, thanks a lot, that's really what I want No, I don't need change, thank you Iha: Alright Corgan: Hey by the way, somebody threw their keys on stage so I hope you can get home without your car. No I don't want your shoes, it's obvious you have something wrong with your feet... I know shut up and play, we always get that. But it's such a beautiful night I'm in no fucking hurry Iha: It's a beautiful night, the people are all really beautiful and dreamy and starry Corgan: Everyone looks so beautiful Iha: I just wanna commit sodomy with all of you Corgan: He just wants to make love to every single one of you, all of you.
