Billy Corgan Talks Bringing Wrestling Elements to His Live Music
Rolling Stone recently did an interview with Billy Corgan during which Corgan talks about his upcoming tour with Marilyn Manson. Corgan also touched on brining aspects of wrestling to his live music and the following is a quote from Corgan:
“I’ve been doing it for 20 years. People are just not wise enough to understand that they’re being, as we say in wrestling, worked. My public image is based on a series of things that I have done as a performance artist to convince people that I’m somebody that I am not. I’ve done it for so long and so well that people actually think I’m that person – so then I am asked in my current reality to answer to something that I did as an artist with the idea that somehow I was a real person who didn’t have the sentient intelligence to know that I was being ridiculous.
No disrespect, but half the questions we’re talking about are clickbait questions that are not about music, that are about me being a drama queen or not. For me, it’s like, what does it all mean? That’s why Manson is such a great artist. It’s because – obviously, I’m in wrestling – he works the crowd. He finds those things that are uncomfortable or make them question their own sanity. I’m almost the complete opposite. I make myself a different kind of target.”
