Banter
Corgan: Everybody is so far away. Hi, we're Motley Crue, I'm the new singer. Soma Rocket Geek U.S.A. Iha: Thank you for your enthusiasm, it's quite overwhelming. [long pause] At this time of technical difficulty, it reminds me of the time when I was a young child. I had a tricycle and I broke a wheel and I got another one and often times I'd be riding down my street in my tricycle and, heh, what are you people applauding. Are you making some of satanic chant? Play that wack through, Verik (?). Time is [unintelligible] on windshield. I was out, San Francisco and I had the five and nine [unintelligible] too much whiskey that night and I saw crazy diamonds on my windshield. Yeah there was a lot about Frank that I never knew much, except that I like to eat carrots. That's the thing about the tenderloin, the tendorloin. You're crazy tonight, you're crazy. Disarm Quiet Corgan: I'd like to dedicate this song to all those rockers out there. [drum intro to Cherub Rock begins] You rockers? Hey [druming stops], don't cheer so loud so I can hear the intro of the song. Restarts... Cherub Rock Corgan: Thank you. Drown Hummer I Am One Rant includes references to nothingness, 27 hurtful years, living the present, wont for more nothingness and lyrics of "emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness, and cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty" [later incorporated into Zero]. Today Iha: Thank you there, San Francisco. Corgan: You know, James, maybe you need to show some more energy and jump around a little more, it'll get people excited. Iha: Are you people used to like space boogie music or we'll jump around more. They're used to San Francisco style. Corgan: No one told... this is all the descendants of the Grateful Dead. These are all the cousins, this is a private party, not like a normal Lollapalooza show. Everybody's trippy... Jerry [unintelligible]. Well, we'd like to bore you for another 20 minutes. Iha: We'd like to encourage you to show us some energy. Siva Iha: Thank you [unintelligible]. Suffer Silverfuck with brief riffs from Star Spangled Banner
