About Christina Expertise 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!
Question Hi, theres just a coupla things Id like to know...Firstly is there any chance of a SP reunion or final tour? Secondly, is Billys new band Zwan similiar in music style to the SP, and do they plan to do any world tours( I live in Australia)? Thirdly, is Billy Corgan planning on going solo at any point? Also, I was wondering how long Billys' relationship with Courtney Love went for, how they broke up and Billys opinion of Kurt Cobain.
Sorry bout the long list of questions! Any help would be great though!!
Answer Hi there, hope I can help with the questions.
I doubt there's a chance of SP reunion, I don't think the band members are on great terms. They did their final tour from March to December of 2000. The last show was at the Metro in Chicago.
Zwan broke up last summer (or was it summer of 2003? I can't remember), so I'm sorry to tell you they won't be coming to Australia anytime soon. Billy's been touring doing readings of his new poetry book, which I'm sure you can buy (or order) in any book store near you. He played a few songs on this tour, but it was mostly just reading.
His solo album is expected to come out in Spring of 2005. I have no idea if/when he will tour in support of it.
I'm not sure how long he dated Courtney, although I think it was a very short relationship, judging by how soon after she was with Kurt.
You'd have to ask Billy to get his real opinion of Kurt Cobain, but the media seems to think they had some sort of rivalry. I think Billy thinks he's a good songwriter but is overrated. He has said that Kurt was really hard to talk to personally.
anyway, hope that helped with your questions. Happy New Year!
