Question
Did Billy Corgan play/record all the instruments on the early CD's and the band only played on the tours?  Thanks

Answer
No one really knows this except the people in the recording studio at the time. As far as I know, Billy played some bass on each album, but I don't think there's too much truth in the rumours that he was a complete dictator. I'm sure D'Arcy and James played their fair share.

Little details and things that may be totally insignificant for some people, but they mean a lot to me. for example: Spaceboy was written about/for Billy's younger brother, Jesse, who has a rare genetic disorder. Thats rather common SP knowledge, but it's an example. Also, I know most lyrics off by heart to most SP songs, and stuff like that. Ask me pretty much anything about SP. I will most likely have the answer!
