Billy Corgan's got news for anyone who thinks he might be running out of steam after the Smashing Pumpkins dropped new triple album ATUM; he hasn't even started!
“If god gave me talent then the competitive spirit in that would be that I want to win the Superbowl but not at the expense of someone else. I want a fair fight and if I beat you, I beat you," Corgan told Zane Lowe in a new interview for Apple Music that you can watch below. "When all is said and done, I want the Pumpkins standing on the top of the heap of our generation. If that means I got to write 800 songs to do it, I’ll do it. I ain’t shy about that. I will go down always as saying, Kurt was the most talented guy of our generation. Kurt had so much talent. It’s like frightening. It was like a John Lennon level of talent, where you’re like, ‘How can you have all this talent?’ Or Prince, right? But Kurt’s not here, sadly. So I looked around, I was like, ‘All right, well, I could beat the rest of them for sure.’”
