I'm going to try to hit the weekday shows... I'll buy two tickets, and hopefuly will be able to find someone cool to trade a show for show with... I have a feeling this is going to be a fast seller. |

They are playing nine of their dates here in Asheville, at the Orange Peel.
That is some of the craziest shit I have ever heard in my life.

You have a video camera?
They were great in 1994 but haven't really been interested since the Mellon Collie period. If anything, it looks like Corgan is just resurrecting the name as it's more valuable than anything other brand he has been using since 2000. |

That's all it is...The Billy Corgan Project...And people give Axl a hard time for using Guns N' Roses name? Darcy and Iha are not even in the band this time....and they only broke up 7 years ago. Their reunion only makes the Police reunion seem even more miraculous.
I saw them at tiny club in August 1991 for $5, which was cool, but I never saw them again and can only tolerate Corgan's voice for a handful of tunes at any given time. |
